something big is about to happen, i can sense in the streets
and see it in the smallest back ways
student cafés
and now they wanna show us what we're up against
yeah, they're saying that
"there's no need to be alarmed, please remain calm, for we mean you no harm
this is just a precaution - it's a standard procedure in situations like these"
just a precaution
they say it's just a precaution

but we al know what that means, huh?
it means best take sides 'cause the shit is about to go down

well i have the right to say what i want and when i wanna say it, about who i want, if it's you i wanna talk about and criticize, then i will, because i can, and there ain't nothing you can do about it, unless of course you kill me - but still you'd hear the people behind me. and what do we want people? we wanna make trade fare, we wanna stop animal testing, we wanna provide food and shelter for the homeless... yeah, to put it plain and simple, we want equal rights for every man, woman and child, and we don't wanna hear no shit from anyone who says it's none of our fucking business

yeah 'cause they seem to think that if you ain't a part of the solution, well then you're a part of the problem, and the only way to deal with the problem is to eliminate the problem. but i wonder what happens if they start seeing us as a problem...

the demonstrators' heads fell, and all is well in the kingdom again
there's no need to be alarmed, just as long as you remember who your friends are
well with friends like these, enemies become redundant - yeah with friends like these...
