Say No
by Corny Held
by Corny Held
The world is cold outside
Go light a fire
The days are short and dark
burn your desire
How can you grab it
the spiralling of time
and freedom's just a statue
without soul, but it looks fine
So it's time to worry
what matters anyway
time to hurry
and save the world another day
it's time to hold
to decide who's friend or foe
and find a way against the tide
it's time now to say no
just say no
there are times, you know,
when you just got to say
no
say no
Make sure you have a home
when safety leaves
abundance vanishing
no birds, no bees, no trees
What can you cling to
what hope is there to seize
when love becomes a sacrifice
to please the God of greed
So it's time to worry
what matters anyway
time to hurry
and save the world another day
The eyes of vanity
Behind facades they glow
The scorn for life and peace
is flooding all the roads
in a sea of violence
it's good to own a boat
And wealth is but a faith
in bubbles that explode
but you can say no
Say no
Say no to hatred - no to greed
No exploitation - no vanity
No contempt - no agression
no malice - no hypocrisy
no violence - no indifference
no arrogance or ruthlessness or force
no evil - no betrayal
no destruction - no locked doors
Say no
Go light a fire
The days are short and dark
burn your desire
How can you grab it
the spiralling of time
and freedom's just a statue
without soul, but it looks fine
So it's time to worry
what matters anyway
time to hurry
and save the world another day
it's time to hold
to decide who's friend or foe
and find a way against the tide
it's time now to say no
just say no
there are times, you know,
when you just got to say
no
say no
Make sure you have a home
when safety leaves
abundance vanishing
no birds, no bees, no trees
What can you cling to
what hope is there to seize
when love becomes a sacrifice
to please the God of greed
So it's time to worry
what matters anyway
time to hurry
and save the world another day
The eyes of vanity
Behind facades they glow
The scorn for life and peace
is flooding all the roads
in a sea of violence
it's good to own a boat
And wealth is but a faith
in bubbles that explode
but you can say no
Say no
Say no to hatred - no to greed
No exploitation - no vanity
No contempt - no agression
no malice - no hypocrisy
no violence - no indifference
no arrogance or ruthlessness or force
no evil - no betrayal
no destruction - no locked doors
Say no
