lyrics

There’s a whole world outside my window
I’ve heard many times that it spins while I’m breathing
That’s why people in China are awake while I sleep
And the sun goes down every afternoon and hides in the sea

I believe in evolution thanks to monkeys and Darwin
I don’t trust in institutions that repeat the tales of Adam and Eve
I think that we’re not alone in this huge solar system
It’s an egocentric thought to deny the existence of UFOs

I can see the world that’s outside my window, but a wall keeps me inside

In my mind there are conspiracy theories
about evil companies that move the brain of this world
That’s why people disappear every night while I sleep
and corrupt politicians reach the power even though they are mean

I will like to go outside to defend my ideas
I prefer to risk my life and not be quiet for the rest of my days
I live between four walls that are as thick as a brick
That’s the punishment for “mad men”, for “mad men” like me

I can see the world that’s outside my window, but a wall keeps me inside

I was silenced for a lifetime, against my freedom of speech
I’m a prisoner for having my own beliefs,
I’m not the only one with this conviction, I know you’ll like to come with me
We can go swimming against the waves, together no one will be afraid

I can see the world that’s outside my window, but a wall keeps me inside
