about

In 2018, 73 years after the end of World War II and the persecution of Jews, it was still easier to rally an angry mob in Myanmar to commit full-blown genocide than it was to find a majority in Europe to rescue shipwrecked refugees in the Mediterranean. The song grapples with the cultural and historical legacy of each generation. What would have happened if an entire generation had not been left to walk the trenches in 1914-1918? What would have happened if the Wehrmacht had brought bread instead of death to Stalingrad in 1942 ? And what would have happened in 50 years if fewer cell phones were in circulation and more people had access to libraries?

lyrics

Parents sent their youth for years into the mud
While the people home where starving they’ve spilled each others blood
Hold back your panic boys, grab on to your rifle
Go over the top now and lay down your life

You can see two flashes right, right in the eyes
80 Million people were bound to die
for a violent illusion, an historic fever dream
we dreamt for almost 30 years and keep dreaming, so it seems

Now here we are
Some buy mobile phones, some starve
How would it be if the’ve left marble instead of ashes?
They brought books instead of bullets
They’ve brought love instead of death

Put your ear on the door and you’ll hear madness outside screaming
You’re always on the run you can never tell if you’re running or chasing
Build another wall and you’ll hear the madness outside screaming
open the door and you will know
What the hell we’re in for?

70 Years later we’ve got to pay
the bill of those delusions from back in the day
with international bullets and laser-guided bombs
Its been a whole rotten century of listening to the wrong folks

How can we expect
Just the slightest bit of respect
From our children when they’re asking us why?
We fill our pockets up with earth
To give ourselfs a Dollar’s worth
And put them on this planet only to die

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
