Peace Tanks for Egypt



If I could, I would send peace tanks to Egypt. I regret that violence prevails. I hope the Egyptians will find their way. The resignation of Mubarak/ or his ouster is only the beginning of an uncertain future. Who knows what this political change will bring and how this new situation in North Africa will influence nations in various parts of the world. I hope the best!


And now a few lines from the song "Friedenspanzer"/ "Peace Tank". The song was written by "Die Ärzte" from the album: "Die Bestie in Menschengestalt" (1993).

"Friedenspanzer"

Die Tagesschau ist nicht mein Fall
nichts als Mord und Massensterben überall
Die Hunde des Krieges wieder losgelassen
Wenn Schwestern und Brüder sich wieder hassen
Wenn Bomben fallen, Terror regiert
und der Mensch im Allgemeinen zum Hass tendiert
Das was mir dazu einfällt für die Rettung dieser Welt
Friedenspanzer
Er schiesst Liebe in dein Herz
bringt den Frieden ohne Schmerz
Friedenspanzer


"Peace Tank"

The news is not my cup of tea

Wherever you look only murder and mass of deaths
the dogs of war are unchained again
when sisters and brothers hate each other again

when bombs are fallin' - terror rules
and man generally tends to hatred
what occurs to me for the rescue of this world is

a peace tank
it will shoot love into your heart
it will keep peace without pain
a peace tank ...

Go Egyptians Go!

I can't speak for Chris or Li, but I fully support the egyptian revolution for democracy and freedom. Especially as I'm from Leipzig, where the change of 1989 started with peaceful Monday protest, I sincerely hope that the Egyptians succeed, without any more violence and deaths and most importantly that they reach their goal of true democracy.

So, go, Egyptians, Go!!
