about

It's been almost two years since I gave up emotionally on a news program. It was once too much war, misery, injustice, suffering. Shame, helplessness, fear just overwhelmed me. To watch in the warm living room how so many people suffer, flee, die - almost unbearable. The feeling of being part of a society that swims in prosperity and yet is unwilling to really see the plight of other people and to really want to help - not a good one. What remained with me is the thought that we just don't have enough - to share, to help, to alleviate. I expressed my helplessness - in words, in sounds. Working together with Bernie, the result was - NOT ENOUGH!

lyrics

Not enough to give you shelter,
not enough, to avoid your death.
Bombs are falling, humans crying,
the world is burning, children dying.

Not enough, we need our spaces,
not enough, we all turn our faces.
We have to save our children’s future
stay away, you nasty creatures.

Refrain: Never been on your side, the world is turning cold,
never been on your side, never touch your soul.
Never been on your side, the world is turning cold
never been on your side, never touch your soul.

On the streets some homeless people,
disturbing our fragile freedom.
Seek an hide is our shameful game now,
we close our eyes, won’t see your need, no!

Not enough, we need more barbed wire,
not enough, they grow high and higher.
The sea replaces your stonelike gravestone
we‘ ll go to church and will praise our good lord!

Refrain: Never been on your side, the world is turning cold,
never been on your side, never touch your soul.
Never been on your side, the world is turning cold
never been on your side, never touch your soul.

Bridge: Stay away – crucify them all
Stay away – we need another wall
The world is turning faster and faster
Who has caused this huge disaster?

Refrain: Never been on your side, the world is turning cold,
never been on your side, never touch your soul.
Never been on your side, the world is turning cold
never been on your side, never touch your soul
