about

This is about the contrasts of our lives. A gentle melody about one of the cruelest side of the social life. You are either with the ruling units - elite, powers-that-be, families, authorities, neighbours, classmates - or not. If you are not "get away with your *** feelings and sentiments!"

lyrics

Sincerity’s an amazing luxury,
no one is required to have it.
If you don’t like something – forget it,
if you don’t believe – accept it,
otherwise you’ll regret speaking up.

Smile and say “Amazing! Brilliant!”,
clap your hands and jump right where you stand.
No one really would feel comfortable
if you open up your heart and soul,
if you decide to act noble.

Sincerity’s against our way of life,
it rings like your alarm in the peaceful morning.
Go away with your fucking sentiments,
you shall never get our compliments.
You bet all that you had on nothing.

You bet all that you had on nothing!
