BAADER BRAINS LYRICS

"Notes From The Icy Chrysalis"

"A barren desert lies under industrial mist
Skyscrapers rise in simple elegance
A cold world, devoid of life.

But down below
Where the plaster is starting to crumble
Where modest tricklets from kleenex-clean
Asses dribble into stinking sewers
The rats have been living and breeding happily
For a long time now.

They speak a new language:
And when this language is brought out, into the light
All that's sad will no longer be done
Black and white will not necessarily be right
Old and new will blend into one.

Cripples, queers, winos junkies, ai-tyes
Blacks, terrorists, arsonists, tramps, jailbirds,
Women and all kinds of dream peddlers
Will gather to bury their fathers."

[Coded communique, Zürcher Bewegung, 1980.]
