Modern Art

Put your swimsuit on
We are going to the museum
Of modern art and western decay

Please put your helmet on
We are heading to the parliament
On our bicycles packed with guilt

And I am a terrorist
A human terrorist
I work for free
I work forever and a day

Since this is an advertisement
That is the reason
For buying and selling
For thinking and telling
For spending and stealing
Your precious time again

You can take a one-way ticket
You can choose your currencies
You prefer the beautiful landscapes
They represent that we are free

You can stick to your own ideas
You can fit in a team
You can sing all the recent love songs
And the national anthem

When the salary is right
And the salary is right
And since the salary is right
Everything seems quite fine here

Please
Put your lampshade on
We are visiting the embassy
Of ancient hearts and constant betrayal

From the outside of the building
We might adore several paintings
From the inside of the canvas
Everything looks blurry and blue

We keep our legs at a certain distance
We feed our mouths with our tongues
We sweep the dust into our old pockets
No one will stay here for long

Once upon a time
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
In the contemporary future

Please
Put your best smile on
We are returning to the aquarium
Where we tattoo boats on our metal chests
