about

A song about human culture inspired by Berthold Brecht.

lyrics

If sharks were men,
They would establish borders
for their countries
and let us, the smaller fish,
work for them without fees.
If sharks were men,
They would build schools just to teach
us, the smaller fish, to be in reach
of the sharks' mouths as the final goal
and to be happy to sacrifice our souls.

They, the raptors, can only exist through their oppression.
We, the masses, are satisfied even without free expression.

They would send us out to fight the fish that ain't silence like us.
And if we're victorious they would do entertainment shows with big buzz.
Some of us would be praised and then could become the new subleaders.
Which would give them the right to eat us too and to be official feeders.

Bite, bite, bite and Gulp, gulp, gulp.
In order to succeed,
Gorge, gorge, gorge and Grow, grow, grow.
They're ready for every „feat“!

If sharks were men, their brazen plan
would be to obtain everything.

If shark were men, their art would just accentuate
their jaws as pleasure gardens recompensing
all.
Their religion would preach we, the small fish,
would be eternally happy in gastric condensing.

They, the raptors.
We, the masses.

Press, press, press till
death, death, death,
Their lulling will be strong!
Their lulling is strong!
More for less,
Press till death,
In order to reign on
Their lulling will be strong!

So in fact culture in the ocean could only be possible
If sharks were men.
It's true this culture is only possible cuz we are human.
We, the raptors. We, the masses.
And life goes on and on.
Life goes on.
