The Red Tape Songtext / Lyric

Genf 1979, Toronto 1988, Genf 1990, The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and Berlin 1995 failed and so, finally in 1997 The Kyoto Protocol should be the indicator, the initial project. In Den Haag 2000 and Bonn 2001 this last-chance-climate-treaty was almost overthrown instead of being ratified. So 5 years later it´s still just the same talk about Annex I, A and B, Hot air, The Bubble Concept, Global Warming Potential,… Really progessive as it is a matter of fact that in 1896 (!) Svante Arrhenius found out that an increase of CO2-emissions is leading to Global Warming. And time goes by…
Another day to break out
Hiding proper faces Feeling so safe and superior
Like a hare in pursuit of the tortoise
They fooled us all by describing wordless things with thingless words
There´s something wrong
10 years without a result
Each step they will weight and measure
A husk without content
Anyway - They believe we´re on the nerge of a significant breakthrough
Enormous strides - this flood of externals
To exert some small degree over their fits of despair Another day break out
Hiding proper faces There´s something wrong
10 years without a result
Each step they will weight and measure
A husk without content
Why must it always be that late that we will follow suit
Each step they will weight and measure
A significant breakthrough…
