One Small Step

(album: Aluminum Tunes (Switched On, Volume 3) - 1998)

From the sky would fall an incessant rain of bombs
We had nowhere to go but retrieve underground
Our ground had been peppered with a load of mines
Growing our food was a risk at any time
The sudden brutality we had to confront
Forced us many years to a life into the ground

When I came out
After having hidden
For so long
Under

I found I was missing all sensation of sight
It was so dark underground we had seen no light for days
What was visible how there was the enemy
The fact that they were fighting against their better nature
Our voices had been buried to breathe arise
For we had not to speak a word for days on end

But what we learned
Was so strong
They could never win
They're wrong

Scared of Adolf
The right to kill
They went nowhere
Had no wisdom
Humiliation
Came back flying
Into their face
They lost themselves
The right to kill
Scared of Adolf
Right to be blind
Nothing but trust

Scared of Adolf
The right to kill
They went nowhere
Had no wisdom
Humiliation
Came back flying
Into their face
They lost themselves
The right to kill
Scared of Adolf
Right to be blind
To be nothing
