What good has this little one done to you?
Shelter for books, engravings, records
All these beautiful, refined things
Subtle, intelligent, collected

With so much eagerness believing that in
This tiny space of civilization
You would be defended against ignorance
Frivolity, stupidity and emptiness? Bis

So much modernism has created a laziness
Mental in humans, no one anymore
Think because everything is on the internet, now
Nobody reads, just copy and paste

With so much eagerness believing that in
This tiny space of civilization
You would be defended against ignorance
Frivolity, stupidity and emptiness?

But nothing beats books, which take us back
To beautiful and wonderful places, technology
It only makes us dependent on a cell phone
To see only crap on the internet, and to listen
Violence, sex and drugs in songs

With so much eagerness believing that in
This tiny space of civilization
You would be defended against ignorance
Frivolity, stupidity and emptiness?
