lyrics

Guilty
We’re not
Enslaved
Are we ? [1]

Who killed those migrants
Fleeing war for a better place ? [2]
Who killed those soldiers
Fighting for a ghostly freedom ? [3]
Who killed those workers
Hoping to live in dignity ? [4]
(You liars, you fucking killers)
Who killed the pale blue dot [5]
We are all living on ? [6]
(You liars, you fucking killers)

You liars
You fucking killers

Spit
We spit on the oppression

Who rules
Our world ?
We're slaves
Fuck this domination

Riot

Guilty
We’re not
Enslaved
Are we ? [1]

A weight from the past [7]
For a dead future
A responsibility
We didn’t ask for [8]
Riot

You despise people
Accusing them of their condition [9]
Carry on this way
You’re digging your own fucking grave

States are responsible for wars. In Switzerland, the neutrality adopted by the government doesn’t retain the country to be involved in many wars, past and actual.
