The Astronomical Fool

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So the scumbags are marching again, down on the southern street

They switched out the swastika and brown shirt for something white and green

They're at the Gothenburg Book Fair, down on the southern street

One might think they're gonna blame the books for why they can not read

Oh, excuse me for my prejudice there, if that is your critique

I let out my anger to flourish, it ain't excactly me

But with the scripture you hold by the heart you are the astronomical fool

'Cause every time you try to catch up with your 88 you catch 22

The scumbags are marching again with their boots and their sticks

And with the basic idea to bring back Germany 1936

And they want to silence us all, ‘specially minorities

Oh, inconsistency is everything, said Minority Green

Yeah, but what more can we do than let the blind lead the blind

As long as they stand straight and reverberate with their swastika signs?

I say when the scumbags are marching again, on the southern street

They may have their democratical right to protest but so the fuck do we

So gather resistance my friend, whoever you are

Show those hateful fuckers what it is to really have a heart

And show them you care but don't bring a gun

Just tell them that you want exactly what they want times minus one

But don't be afraid of their words, be aware of their scheme

How they might have tampered with the pipes in your house

When you go to wash yourself clean

Because in the background, these rats, I'll compare them with Faust

Only because they still owe the devil to fight for their hollow cause

Yeah, the scumbags are marching again, down on the southern street

And I can feel the rage and adrenaline pump with every single beat

So come down and join me my friend, scream as loud as you can

Because the sheer existence of our voices here might be the best we have

And don't let them silence you, dear, then you'll be doomed

The next thing you know the whole book fair smells of gasoline fumes

So when they scream 88 teach them Catch-22

Yeah maybe then we can crack the astronomical fool
