Lyrics:

Joel was a young lad who lived in his room
in his parent's flat, by the dark of the moon
that he liked to see every night
as he thought 'bout the auful things happening
so many times every minute,
'bout the violence, the war that's held
by the fact that we do what we do
and we buy what we buy.

And Joel wants to change all this sour
reality, so as a flower, he blooms
as he reads 'bout the power,
our cultures, our times, our economies,
to see what's going on.

And passing the months he soon understood
it all was related and all that he did
provoked that the world kept on going
so painful, unfair and so violent...
He went so desperate, he wanted to quit
that machine that kept on killing humans
all over the world...

And Joel went away from his parents,
he squatted a house with a ladder,
he took all his foods from the bin
and he didn't want nothing to do
with that world of outside.

Just a week of Joel in his new dusty room,
and he liked to think as he looked at the moon,
when a bunch of policemen at seven pm,
broke into the house and arrested Joel,
the surrender, the young kid, defender of
something so big that he couldn't pretend to control.

And Joel passed his days inside jail
as he looked to the moon by the window,
his parents kept crying and wondering
why did Joel, why did Joel, why did Joel...
