Versuri Hymn To Life
Sitting here and wondering, watching the seasons
going by
Each new answer just brings ten new questions
My eyes have finally opened
Armored human wrecks walking the streets
Longing for a leader to take away their pain
We have not learned anything
Let me live another day
Without sorrow, without shame
Let me feel the wind on my face
Let me feel the sun
And live my days with fun
Let me sing this hymn to life
Molesting and incest
Unloving parents feeding the oven of madness
known as planet earth
Love turns into prostitution
Embracing into violence
Lovemaking into fucking
Greed kills our humanity, morality our natural
needs
Jealousy kills the friendship
I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor -
that's not my business - I don't want to rule or
conquer anyone. I should
like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile,
black man, white. We all want to help one another,
human beings are like
that.
We want to live by each other's happiness, not by
each other's misery. We don't want to hate and
despise one another. In
this world there is room for everyone and the
good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful.
But we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned men's souls - has barricaded
the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into
misery and bloodshed.
We have developed speed but we have shut
ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has
left us in want. Our knowledge
has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and
unkind. We think too much and feel too little:
More than machinery we need
humanity; More than cleverness we need kindness
and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will
be violent and all will
be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us
closer together. The very nature of these
inventions cries out for the goodness
in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for
the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching
millions throughout the
world, millions of despairing men, women and
little children, victims of a system that makes
men torture and imprison
innocent people. To those who can hear me I say
Do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing
of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way
of human progress: the
hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the
power they took from the people, will return to
the people and so long as
men die, liberty will never perish...
Soldiers - don't give yourselves to brutes, men
who despise you, enslave you - who regiment your
lives, tell you what to
do, what to think and what to feel, who drill
you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as
cannon fodder!
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men,
machine men, with machine minds and machine
hearts! You are not machines! You
are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of
humanity in your hearts. You don't hate - only the
unloved hate - the
unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers - don't fight
for slavery, fight for liberty!
In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is
written the kingdom of God is within man - not one
man, nor a group of men
- but in all men - in you! You the people have
the power, the power to create machines, the power
to create happiness! You
the people have the power to make this life free
and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful
adventure! Then in the name of
democracy let us use that power - let us all
unite!!! Let us fight for a new world, a decent
world that will give men a
chance to work, that will give you the future and
old age and security. By the promise of these
things, brutes have risen to
power, but they lie! They do not fulfil their
promise, they never will! Dictators free
themselves but they enslave the
people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise!
Let us fight to free the world, to do away with
national barriers, to do
away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let
us fight for a world of reason, a world where
science and progress will lead
to all men's happiness.
Soldiers - in the name of democracy, let us all
unite!!!
[Speech by Charlie (Charles) Chaplin (1889-1977)
from The Great Dictator movie (1940)]
