Garbage Can Songtext

von Slam to Fakie

I reserve me the right to scrutinize
Established social values
To rethink what we should hold or rise
And which ones we should better loose

My friends and family tease and say " hello, Doc"
But of the mess I'm in they're unaware
Lay down at night get up at 6 o'clock
What I lack most noone seems to care

Pharmaca the basis of our system of health
Easy to handle are sheeplike consumers
Strong inbuilt defenses bring no company wealth
But people's fear for tumors

Hardly perceptible adapted, step by step,
The way society's going is not mine
You try to work me out the way you want me to get
But noone's ever gonna make me no philistine

I'm no garbage can for your results of research
I like to learn but won't wreck my life REF
If I had 120 minutes for myself a day
I would be ok but I ain't got 5
No time to move my body cause I sit and read
To know every detail about anatomy
But we forgot that the most simple rules of prevention
Are more important than cell biology

There are countries with a quite bad medical care
And a high average lifespan.
In contrast to a half-life of about 5 years
Of our medical knowledge, they can

We spent millions for cardiovasculear polls
Fightin'most common syndromes we try in vain,
A life of comfort also takes some tolls
Cause our inconsequence is still the same.

Prosperity's not equal satisfaction
Quality of life's not happyness
You can know and have everything
But it doesn't bring
You in any case
Above the rest

REF

I'm no garbage can for your results of research
I like to learn but won't wreck my life
If I had 120 minutes for myself a day
I would be ok but I ain't got 5
If you make me a slave of your scholastic system,
Take even time for my friends and my joy from me,
Force me to become just another one
Your machine can roll on without me
