Stereolab - One Small Step lyrics

rate me

From the sky would fall an incessant rain of bombs

We had nowhere to go but retrieve underground

Our continent...waved a load of mines

Growing our food was a risk at any time

The sudden brutality we had to confront

Forced us many years to a life into the ground

When I came out after having hidden for so long under

I found I was missing all sensation of sight

It was so dark underground we had seen no light for days

What was visible how there was the enemy

The fact that they were fighting against their better nature

Our voices had been buried to...

For we had not to speak a word for days on end

But what we learned was so strong

They could never win, they're wrong

Scared of Adolf, the right to kill

They went nowhere, had no wisdom

Humiliation came back flying into their face

They lost themselves

The right to kill, scared of Adolf

Right to be blind, nothing but trust
