Tell me what you expect from me'cause
I don't want to fail you I would not like to deceive.
I'm not frightened anymore, why to do so?

I'm being honest to you 
We're together growing old. 
What's going on with our surroundings?

And with the culture industry?
What's the matter with fashion? 
What is what believe? If our generation's lost

We should try and prepare the youngest readers to 
Analyze, 
understand, to discredit our myths 
Or just to know what they should disobey,

This is not hard to say.
What's going on with our surroundings?
And with the culture industry? 

Don't we let ignorance become the worst desease.
I wrote this foreword because
I do think this song is made for you 

Carry out what you must, I'll be on your side.
What's going on with our surroundings?
And with the culture industry? What we believe.
