about

This song delves into the way in which the military and capitalism work to transform our sense of time. For this reason, the bass ostinato resembles the commanding pulse of industrial time: the clock.

lyrics

My fellow countrymen who will defend our fatherland?
If not the strong and handsome young men of this great nation.
Put on your boots, hurry up, get in position.
Heed my command, crawl over the cold, rocky mountain

Get up!
Pick up your rifle
Who do you think you are?
How must we fight the commies
With such useless soldiers?

Wipe off your sleep dust and dress very quick.
You will be judged by the state of your outfit.
Open your eyes in the dead of the night.
Track every step of the commies across the border.

My fellow countryman sneaked in a risqué magazine
A brief escape to the embrace of a woman unbound by space and time.
Then, one day, my superior hinted that he knew we had it.
Even our private times of imagination were surveilled.
