lyrics

Small culture – small pond
Full of big crocodiles
I will never be famous
neither here nor worldwide


No one gives a toss
About my work
Not here or
Anywhere
It is not that I am no good
It is just that no one cares

And the fame and fortune
Are meant for annointed ones
From big and rich nations
Not educated bums
Like me


I am 40
I know my limits
Born poor, staying poor
Born unknown, staying unknown
I am 40
I know my limits
I quit dreaming
No profits
Just limits


They say:
Your truth
Needs no ears
Stay put
And do what we say
Maybe your son
Or you grandchildren
Will see better days
But not you
It must not be you
You highbrow
Leftie
Alt
Cynical
Balkan
Godforsaken
You
