Contessa

Countess

"My goodness Countness, that rude folk
had a strike in Aldo's Factory
They wanted their salaries increased
They shouted, just figure it out, they were exploited.

And when the police came
those four beggars shouted even more louder
They dirted doors and yard with their blood
God knows how long will it take to clean up"

Comrades from fields and from works
take the sickle and bring the hammer,
go down in the streets and beat with it
go down in the streets bury the System

You good people who look for peace
you want peace to do what you like
But if this is the price we want war
We want you buried
But if this is the price we've paid for it
Nobody in the world must ever be exploited.

"If you knew Countess, what a dear relative
told me about this occupation:
that rabble shut therein,
practiced loose love

After all my dear, what do you astonish at?
A worker compared to a child or a doctor
Just think of the world, which will come after that!
There's no more morality... Countess.

If the wind whistled, now it whistles much stronger
Rebellation's ideals never died
If someone affirms so don't bother him at all
He's just a betrayer
If someone affirms so throw at him
Red Flag... just dump him in a ditch

You good people who look for peace
you want peace to do what you like
But if this is the price we want war
We want you buried
But if this is the price we've paid for it
Nobody in the world must ever be exploited.
