about

Mit einem Augenzwinkern an den typisch schweizerischen Pragmatismus besingt die Band in diesem Lied die Revolution in der Schweiz: Der Protagonist entscheidet sich nach der Lektüre einer Zeitung die schweizerische Regierung zu stürzen und reist nach Bern. Dort erklärt er den PolitikerInnen den Grund für seinen Unmut, wird vertröstet und nach Hause geschickt.

Markante Textzeile:
«and as I found the blokes I sought,
I made a little drawing while I talked
And had security shown me out»

lyrics

1
At the boozer across the street
I checked my latest newsfeed
And I realized what goes wont come around

2
Timeline fines and welfare
All organized from armchairs
About as understanding as their baton rounds

Refrain
When will we tell the government to fuck off
Use some elbow grease and bid them farewell
When will we tell the government to fuck off
They will rather move air than themselves

3
So I left home and went to Bern
And asked them nicely to return
Back to their holes whence they came

4
As I found they blokes I sough
I made a little drawing while I talked
And had security to show me out

Refrain
When will we tell the government to fuck off
Use some elbow grease and bid them farewell
When will we tell the government to fuck off
And candidate ourselves

Bridge/Refrain (2x)
Remember. When will we tell the government to fuck off
And drive around in fancy limousines
Remember. When will we tell the government to fuck off
And live our lifes just as kings

Hendricks the Hatmaker image

Hendricks the Hatmaker Switzerland

Hendricks the Hatmaker, that’s Nicolas, Stefan and Ramona, combine the three musical genres of “Gin”, “Millinery” and „Butt- Kicking”.

Guitars, drums, bass, and even from time-to-time an acoustic instrument, complement each other almost as perfectly as cucumber and tonic water.

They now continue with their plan to take over the world as a classic punk-power-trio. ... more
