Lyrics

To sing you must first open your mouth

To engage in singing, one must express oneself vocally

You must have a pair of lungs

Having functional lungs is a prerequisite for singing

And a little knowledge of music

Basic musical knowledge is required for singing

It is not necessary to have an accordion, or a guitar

No specific musical instruments are necessary, emphasizing the desire to sing

The essential thing is that I want to sing

The crucial element is the personal desire to sing

Then this is a song, I'm singing

Declaring the act of singing and the song being sung


I breathe in and I create

The act of breathing in and creating, invoking the spirit of 1968

Rewoke the spirit sixty eight

Reviving the rebellious spirit of 1968

Fresh meaning to torn ideas

Assigning fresh significance to old and worn-out ideas

Let's bring life to old clichés

Reviving and revitalizing clichés with new life

Punch a hole in tradition

Advocating for breaking away from traditional norms

Yeah, let's listen

Encouraging active listening to discontent-themed songs

To the songs of discontent

Highlighting discontent through song lyrics

The chords and the movement

Emphasizing the musical elements of chords and movement


It could all be so simple

Expressing the potential simplicity of change

We would all stand baffled by the precision and accuracy

Imagining a collective astonishment at the precision of change

Our jaws would hurt from dropping

Anticipating a physical reaction of surprise and awe

So hard, fast and unexpected

Describing the speed and unexpected nature of change

It would be the perfect metaphor

Proposing a metaphorical representation of an ideal change

It would be the perfect song we'd be singing

Envisioning an ideal song embodying the perfect change


I breathe out and I scream

The act of breathing out and screaming, awakening the dream of Malatesta

Rewoke Malatestas dream

Reviving the aspirations of Malatesta through screams

Inspiration from the past

Deriving inspiration from historical events

Focus to the future at last

Focusing on the future after drawing inspiration from the past

Fixed dogmas can't substitute

Rejecting fixed dogmas and emphasizing the need for creative thought and action

Creative thought and action

Emphasizing that creative thought and action are irreplaceable


We could be dangerous

Promoting the idea of being a force for change and potential danger

Art as a real threat

Viewing art as a genuine threat to established norms


And all it is is words

Highlighting that the content is composed of mere words

Words said a million times before

Acknowledging the repetitiveness of spoken words

And all it is is a song

Emphasizing that the essence is a song, repeating a familiar tune

A song sung a million times before

Noting the repetition of singing familiar songs


I breathe in and I create

Reiterating the process of breathing in and creating, invoking the spirit of 1968

Rewoke the spirit '68

Reviving the rebellious spirit of 1968 once again

I breathe out and I scream

Repeating the act of breathing out and screaming, reviving Malatesta's dream

Rewoke Malatestas dream

Continuing the theme of reviving the aspirations of Malatesta through vocal expression
