Observing something, the past tells you what to see,
you know it is there, but it is not enough.
There is time, the machine carries on.
You are used to think, you are used to be busy.
Tell me more! Tell me more!
What can we do? How do we make it big?
It’s not enough! It’s not enough!
The little man shouts, while everything is growing bigger.
Tell us what to see, what to think, and how.
Is that nature or are we naturally drunk?
Add some more bricks! The wall has to reach the sky!
We need more people, it has to grow.
Give us the target, make it huge in front of everyone,
because we can’t stop here, we can’t go back,
but the future has to go as you planned, the future is in the past.
The gears turn too fast, Sir! What shall we do?
We are losing control, Siiir!!!
The human figure does not react,
hidden in the shadow of what once was power.
And everything keeps spinning.
One step was done, and it was too much!
