HIC ET NUNC (Here And Now)

Here and now!
Here and now!

Fixing the ceiling
I got a feeling
sing it again!

Here and now!
Here and now!

Show me the season,
give me the reason
sing it again!
sing it again!

Here and now!
Here and now!

Whisper a meaning
nobody's leading
sing it again!
sing it again!

Here and now!
Here and now!

I got a feeling
somebody's missing
sing it again!
sing it again!

(We got the System,
to fuck the System!
We got the System,
to fuck the System!
We got the System,
to fuck the System!)
