1. I heard a bird whistle, there's gonna be changes. It's time to worry, 'cause serious trouble is coming 'round. They say that many people are gonna lose their wages, Even if you still get paid, the standards will go down. I'm not so sure I'm gonna make it... No, I don't think that I can take it. My bills are piling up, and I need more food from the store. I just can't take it. I know that I cannot take it! Up till now I was able to make it, but no, no, not any more! 2. Now they plan the riot police to increase in numbers. To keep us all in place they may come down on me and you. You ask me: Is it that bad, may this really come true? I say: To save the wealth of few, others must stay poor. But I won't make it! I just can't smile and pretend that I make it! My bills are piling up, I cannot manage anymore. No, I cannot take it! I don't know how to make it! I just cannot take it, I can't take it anymore! 3. For all these children, what can I do and what can I say? They face hunger maybe each or every second day. We told them life will be good if you share and if you're kind. But for the future, I fear love and care will be harder to find. But what if they don't make it? Will society be able to take it? I don't have the heart to tell them that things won't be just like before. And I can't fake it. It is damned obvious I won't make it! Tears are rolling down my face, I cannot take it anymore!
