Waiting Songtext
von Flox

A dog came in the kitchen and stole a crust of bread
Then cook up with a ladle and beat him till he was dead
Then all the dogs came running and dug the dog a tomb
And wrote upon the tombstone for the eyes of the dogs to come

A dog came in the kitchen and stole a crust of bread
Then cook up with a ladle and beat him till he was dead
Then all the dogs came running and dug the dog a tomb
And wrote upon the tombstone for the eyes of the dogs to come

A dog came in the kitchen and stole a crust of bread
Then cook up with a ladle and beat him till he was dead
Then all the dogs came running and dug the dog a tomb
And wrote upon the tombstone for the eyes of the dogs to come


Let us not waste our time in idle discourse!
Let us do something, while we have the chance!
It is not every day that we are needed
Not indeed that we personally are needed
Others would meet the case equally well, if not better
To all mankind they were addressed
Those cries for help still ringing in our head!
But at this place, at this moment of time
All mankind is us, whether we like it or not

Let us make the most of it, before it is too late!
Let us represent worthily for once the foul brood to which a cruel fate consigned us!
What do you say?
It is true that when with folded arms we weigh the pros and cons
We are no less a credit to our species
The tiger bounds to the help of his congeners without the least reflection
Or else he slinks away into the depths of the thickets
But that is not the question
What are we doing here, that is the question
And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer
Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear
