Текст и перевод песни Beogradski Sindikat - Sistem Te Laže

Sistem Te Laže

Secam se kad su bila samo dva kanala
Politika se citala i pila C kafa
Gledao se Dnevnik u pola 8 svakog dana
Tamo uvek ista prica, uvek jedna ista banda
Tad je bilo lako da se siri propaganda
Narod je verovao u reci sa ekrana
Nije bilo mesta da se cuje druga strana
Sve dok negde preko nije doslo do promene plana
Danas posle ratova, protesta i promena
Demonstracija, interneta i novih tehnologija
Borbe za prava i slobodu govora
Posle svega, sve je opet isto kao nekada
I dalje su na vlasti lazovi, marionete
Prate naredjenja i sve otimaju za sebe
Dzabe hiljadu kanala i sve drustvene mreze
U ekran nabijamo glavu i od sukoba svi beze
Sistem te laze, ne veruj sta ti kaze
Ovaj zivot je borba
Od rodjenja do groba
Zato ustani odmah
Sistem te laze, ne veruj sta ti kaze
Ovaj zivot je borba
Od rodjenja do groba
Zato ustani odmah
Od malena mene lazu i rade me k'o volinu
Pricaju mi za Jozu da se sankao u koritu
Dali su mi maramu, zastavu i zakletvu
Drugovi se ne prodaju ni za kajmaka kasiku
A bulje su uvalili po vilama na Dedinju
Satro svi smo isti, ali svinje ipak vladaju
Kad smo hteli demokratiju, izasli na ulicu
Trosili energiju, popusili kurcinu
Strane agenture me izvukle k'o majmuncinu
Da napijem se suzavca, da nam sjebu drzavu
Sad slusamo baronije iz usta losih glumaca
Al' nisu oni vlast, vec pozoriste lutaka
Znam ja ko me laze i od koga sam ja zgazen
Banke, MMF, korporacije su vazne
A sistem i postoji da za njih pravi pare
I bice pravde tek kada ovo carstvo padne
Sistem te laze, ne veruj sta ti kaze
Ovaj zivot je borba
Od rodjenja do groba
Zato ustani odmah
Sistem te laze, ne veruj sta ti kaze
Ovaj zivot je borba
Od rodjenja do groba
Zato ustani odmah
Covek veruje sta vidi, covek veruje sta cuje
Ne kapira da od rodjenja mozak mu se truje
Propagandom sistema, kako god se sistem zvao
Tabloidi, televizija, spinovana stvarnost
Koja radi na tome da izgubis identitet
Da budes samo poslusni truli mediokritet
Da krivicu svaljujes, na nevinom iskaljuces
Bes sto si slep, sto si ponovo namagarcen
Popio si otkaz, to su reforme, to mora
Nema plate, kasne rate, seku struju odma'
Pa muriju, izvrsitelje cekas kad ce doci
Kao nekad tvoji preci Turke prve bracne noci
A cutao si, verovao, nadao se, glasao
Sad ne verujes kako to na dnu da si se nasao
Zato trgni se na vreme, kad te boli glasno reci
To nisi duzan banci, al' si duzan svojoj deci
Sistem te laze, ne veruj sta ti kaze
Ovaj zivot je borba
Od rodjenja do groba
Zato ustani odmah
Sistem te laze, ne veruj sta ti kaze
Ovaj zivot je borba
Od rodjenja do groba
Zato ustani odmah

The System Lies to You

I remember when there were only two channels
Politics were discussed over a cup of Turkish coffee
We watched the news at 7:30 every day
Always the same story, always the same gang
Back then, spreading propaganda was easy
People believed the words on the screen
There was no space to hear the other side
Until somewhere far away, the plan changed
Today, after wars, protests, and changes
Demonstrations, the internet, and new technologies
The fight for rights and freedom of speech
After all that, everything is still the same as before
Liars and puppets are still in power
Following orders and taking everything for themselves
A thousand channels and social networks are useless
We bury our heads in screens and everyone runs from conflict
The system lies to you, don't believe what it tells you
This life is a struggle
From birth to the grave
So stand up now
The system lies to you, don't believe what it tells you
This life is a struggle
From birth to the grave
So stand up now
They've been lying to me since I was a kid, working me like an ox
Telling me stories about Joža sledding in a trough
They gave me a scarf, a flag, and an oath
Comrades don't sell each other out, not even for a spoonful of cream
But the big shots settled in villas in Dedinje
Supposedly we're all equal, but the pigs still rule
When we wanted democracy, we took to the streets
We spent our energy, and got screwed
Foreign agencies pulled me out like a little monkey
To get drunk on tear gas, to destroy our country
Now we listen to baronies from the mouths of bad actors
But they're not the government, they're just a puppet show
I know who's lying to me and who's trampling on me
Banks, the IMF, corporations are important
And the system exists to make money for them
And there will be justice only when this empire falls
The system lies to you, don't believe what it tells you
This life is a struggle
From birth to the grave
So stand up now
The system lies to you, don't believe what it tells you
This life is a struggle
From birth to the grave
So stand up now
A person believes what they see, a person believes what they hear
They don't understand that their brain has been poisoned since birth
By the propaganda of the system, whatever the system is called
Tabloids, television, a spun reality
That works to make you lose your identity
To be just an obedient, rotten mediocrity
To shift the blame, to take it out on the innocent
The anger that you're blind, that you've been fooled again
You got fired, those are reforms, it has to be done
No salary, late installments, they cut off the electricity immediately
So you wait for the cops, the bailiffs, to come
Like your ancestors once waited for the Turks on their wedding night
And you were silent, you believed, you hoped, you voted
Now you can't believe how you ended up at the bottom
So wake up in time, when it hurts, speak up
You don't owe the bank, but you owe your children
The system lies to you, don't believe what it tells you
This life is a struggle
From birth to the grave
So stand up now
The system lies to you, don't believe what it tells you
This life is a struggle
From birth to the grave
So stand up now
