Destroy your safe and happy lives before it is too late,
The battles we fought were long and hard,
Just not to be consumed by rock n' roll
Capitalismos, favorite boy child, we must apologise,

Up in the rafters a rope is danglin',
Spots before the eyes of rock n' roll
We know the devil and we have shaken him by the hand,
Embraced him and thought his foul (stinking) breath was fine perfume

Just like rock n' roll
East berlin can't buy a thing, there's nothing they can sell me,
Walk through the wall no pain at all
I'm born inside the belly of rock n' roll

It's something to sell your labor for when hair sprouts out below,
I'm a microscope on that secret place where
We all want to go, it's rock n' roll.

    WRONG LYRICS!

    The right ones:

    When I was just seventeen sex no longer held a mystery 
I saw it as a commodity, to be bought and sold like rock n' roll... 
Day by day I plunged deeper into a world of cheap sensation, 
This held a great attraction for me and I dreamt of my own club 
And when I danced and saw you dance I saw a gambling room in the back 
With prostitutes skilled in the art of tango, lies, and exploitation

    
My club was open to all the brightest lights you ever saw 
The darkest corners for having fun happy faces no questions asked 
Late one night the club was heaving, I saw a vampyre move across the floor 
Old and white with a silver cane lusting for youth through the mirror

    
And when I danced and saw you dance I saw a world where the dead are worshipped 
This world belongs to them now they can keep it, 
I live alone and i walk the dark edge of the shoplights shadow, 
In each display a private hell, name your price you're up for sale.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
