Songtext von Alma-Ata (1928)

A man came by this evening, dancing like a puppet on his strings. He spoke of engineering. It's obvious he's never built a thing! I finally shook my head and said, "Men like you can't build your peace." His personality, while charming, still betrayed an air of confidence inconsistent with 'criminal' political dissent. I had to smile and think awhile. I finally shook my head and said, "Men like you can't fake your peace." A man came by this evening, he spoke about my future in this place. I had to smile and think awhile. I finally shook my head and said, "Men like you can't make your peace."
