lyrics

RESPONSE OF THE ORACLE

Can I free myself from slavery? – You can’t
Should I find a common job? – You can’t
Can I create one of my own? – You can’t
What about the music instead? – You can’t

Will I ever earn some money? – You can’t
Will I build a house for myself? – You can’t
Will I have a child of my own? – You can’t
What about marriage and the rest? – You can’t

Because I can’t
From the mind to the details
Ever nothing
Simply nothing

Can I heal this malady? – You can’t
Can I have support from some friends? – You can’t
Can I yield to love at least? – You can’t
Can I finally yield to death? – You can’t

Because I can’t
From the mind to the details
Ever nothing
I simply can’t
From the mind to the details
Ever nothing
Ever nothing
