Der 8. Tag - Gentechnologie

51st state
Cartwright/NMA 1979/85

Here in the land of opportunity, watch us revel in our liberty
You can say what you like but it doesn't change anything
Because the corridors of power are an ocean away.

WHITE COATS
Sullivan/Heaton/Harris (NMA). 1987

Well we know what makes the flowers grow - but we don't know why
And we all have the knowledge of DNA - but we still die
We perch so thin and fragile here upon the land
And the earth that moves beneath us, we don't understand
So we rush towards the Judgement Day, when She reclaims
A toast to the Luddite martyrs then, who died in vain
Down at the lab they're working still, finishing off
How do we tell the people in the white coats
Enough is enough?
Ch: Hey, hey I listen to you pray as if some help will come
Hey, hey She will dance on our graves when we are dead and gone

[...]

As children learn about the world, we built that wall of sand
Along the beach we laboured hard with our bare hands
We worked until the sun went down beneath the waves
And the tide came rolling splashing in, washed the wall away
How do we tell the people in the white coats
Enough is enough?

225
Sullivan/Heaton (NMA) 1988

So let's take a walk up past the chemical works
Where the sky turns green at night
And we'll talk about getting away from here
Some different kind of life
But even in the freshest mountain air
The jet fighters practise overhead
And they're drilling these hills for uranium deposits
And they'll bury the waste for our children to inherit
And though this is all done for our own benefit,
I swear we never asked for any of this

This golden age of communication
Means everyone talks at the same time
And liberty just means the freedom to exploit
Any weakness that you can find

:viking:

Sie stehlen die Diebe das Hirn,
sie stehlen es denen, die es nicht nutzen.

Drum seid nicht zu faul Eures Hirns zu gedenken.
Nicht plaudern: suchend, zweifelnd forschen!
Nicht dem folgen, der vermeintlich das Leben vereinfacht,
doch damit tatsächlich des Denkens entäußert.

Drum biete der Tumbheit die Stirn,
nur denken dich dagegen kann schützen!
