Wolfgang Flür feat. MAPS - Say No! lyrics

Whatever we are ordered to do, asked for, or take part in
It is an act of humanity, to preserve our lives
Societies and nature, instead of destroying them

We all have our own values
For this, we need a soft heart and a strong spirit

Factory owner
If tomorrow they tell you, you are to make TNT
Instead of face powder and cocoa
Then there's only one thing to do: Say no

Man at the machine and man in the workshop
If tomorrow they tell you, you are to make
No more water-pipes and saucepans
But to make steel-helmets and machine guns
Then there's only one thing to do: Say no

Poet in your room
If tomorrow they tell you, you are to sing no love songs
But songs of hate
Then there's only one thing to do

(Say no) [3x]

You, research worker in the laboratory
If tomorrow they tell you
You are to invent a new death for old life
Then there's only one thing to do

(Say no) [3x]

Doctor at the sick bed
If tomorrow they tell you
You are to write men fit for military service
Then there's only one thing to do: Say no

(Say no)

You, girls at the counter and girls in the office
If tomorrow they tell you, you are to fill shells
And assemble telescopic sights for snipers' rifles
Then there's only one thing to do: Say no

Priest in the pulpit
If tomorrow they tell you
You are to bless murder and declare war holy
Then there's only one thing to do: Say no

(Say no) [3x]

Judge in your robes
If tomorrow they tell you, you are to go to court martial
Then there's only one thing to do: Say no

Pilot on the aerodrome
If tomorrow they tell you
You are to carry bombs and phosphorus over the cities
Then there's only one thing to do

(Say no) [2x]

Mothers of all parts of the world
If tomorrow they tell you, you are to bear children
Nursing sisters for military hospitals and new soldiers for new battles

(Say no) [5x]
(No soldiers, no battles) [4x]
