Without a doubt ideologies are harmful, and we must therefore take them very seriously: as behavior and not for their content (in content they are all equally false).-Gerhard Richter

Broken English by Marianne Faithull

Could have come through anytime,
Cold lonely, puritan
What are you fighting for ?
Its not my security.

Its just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Dont say it in russian,
Dont say it in german.
Say it in broken english,
Say it in broken english.

Lose your father, your husband,
Your mother, your children.
What are you dying for ?
Its not my reality.

Its just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Dont say it in russian,
Dont say it in german.
Say it in broken english,
Say it in broken english.

What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
What are you fighting for ?
