Hey (Get Out Of My Way)
Nach vielen eher ruhigen Kompositionen wollte ich mal ein beat-orientiertes Lied. Und eine abendliche Diskussion mit einem Mit-Musiker lieferte mir den Anlass für den Text.

A1(m)Humanity's endangered

Refrain
A5(m)Why are you so stubborn G5
Where F5do you take the right D5(m)
To A5(m)own and waste so much of it G5
By F5heating, eating, flight D5(m)
When the F5poorer cannot bear any more
They might F5come and run all over you door
To E5(sus4)live
Where F5do you take the right D5(m)
To A5(m)own and waste so much of it G5

They might F5come and run all over you door
To E5(sus4)live

A5(m)When you think of people as things G5
And F5you take them their rights D5(m)
That's A5(m)where you lost humanity G5
How F5can you sleep at nights D5(m)
No F5matter how far, what color they have, beliefs and gender too,
They should E5(sus4)simply be able to have a life like you
And F5you take them their rights D5(m)
That's A5(m)where you lost humanity G5
How F5can you sleep at nights D5(m)
No F5matter how far, what color they have, beliefs and gender too,
They should E5(sus4)simply be able to have a life like you

Spoken:
A Dm/A A G/A (2x)
Our planet has its limits
So we must stop to grow
If we want to still have better lives
Then we must learn to be less
Past has shown that the peaceful path is
Stable minimum wealth, stable medical support, basic social welfare, and women's rights on birth control. Simply killing people or letting them die is no durable solution.
