English translation for THOT

01. the strong middle class has been oppressed systematically
it's the run amok of the profitocracy
Fidel collectivizing the church’s wealth on his own authority
or the share prices reduced to zero suddenly

02. your house, your car, the bank greets them warm
from such a cheap credit how the fuck did it get so far?
what do you mean by “fluctuations of exchange”?
why didn’t they teach it in school? very strange

03. one is a dead ringer for the other, don't you think
independent thinking's social conditioning
the self-supporting cells' elimination
making us dependent on the corporations

04. the dictatorship of the transnational capital has come
see what the dream of Adam Smith has become
it wouldn’t take that much time for him to see
the failure of the invisible hand’s moral philosophy

05. ‘cause fixing the maximum profit has no morality
no human life or death matters, it doesn’t respect any boundaries
retrenchment in spending – that’s global labor market for you
for a few pennies they glue together your hundred dollar Nike shoes

06. just like a madman who broke all his chains
the capital rushed across the borders’ remains
just like the Tisza river in Petőfi’s poem, bursting the dike
the sovereignty of national states is disappearing alike

as money came in and took God’s position
globalization changed the nations definition
Hungarian, Japanese or Arabian – doesn’t matter anymore
there are only two kinds of people, the rich and the poor

01. “if you look at our freedom, financial institutions
are even more dangerous than wars or revolutions”
you're shitscared 'cause the bitcoin demon is menacing constantly
”its not the private banks' right to issue money”

03. gold cover will disappear from behind the money sooner or later
and so will the value of a mere scrap of paper
an economic system built from blank credit
now you see where it has led, dammit

the wolf of wall street like money comes from nothing
yes literally from nothing, legal banknote printing
algorithms are all set, you can count on the profit without question
and then we pretend not to understand what caused the recession

goldsmiths, bank notes, reserves, manipulation
think of the Middle Ages, it was the same situation
only the methods have changed, the greed remains the same
but your wealth is only yours until you die, it's such a shame

as money came in and took God’s position
globalization changed the nations definition
Hungarian, Japanese or Arabian – doesn’t matter anymore
there are only two kinds of people, the rich and the poor

01. crisis always leads to heavy confrontations
but if you’re afraid of losing your job don’t blame it on migration
growth imperative is a monster of the free market so they say
and to grow along with efficiency is the only way

02. you can only expand if you have enough space to grow
you’ve got to cut your coat according to your cloth you know
'cause if you don’t live within your means you may end up with no clothes to wear,
frozen to death sleeping and maybe no-one will even care

03. according to “prosperity”’s fucked-up modern definition
to take from the finite should be your only ambition
you’re still dreaming of sustainable development but it’s all in vain
just what the fuck is wrong with the 21st century brain?

04. profit hungry wolves, in technological sheep skin they hide
howling phrases of global propaganda with no disguise
instead of sacred silence sounds of alienation,
it’s “diabolical” like said in the past, "hell and damnation"
(x2)

as money came in and took God’s position
globalization changed the nations definition
Hungarian, Japanese or Arabian – doesn’t matter anymore
there are only two kinds of people, the rich and the poor

Rettenetesen jól összerakottak a dalszövegek, a két album jóformán a létező mindenséget összefoglalja a problémákról, egész egyszerűen zseniális és megkerülhetetlen, értő füleknek szánták. Kiváló munka.
