For Nothing

war gave us freedom, brotherhood, democracy
but war forgot to give us bread to eat
and for bread was the war
for bread were the battles
for bread death in the trenches
and prayers in the churches

and for freedom was the war
for freedom rang the bells
and millions of young heads layed down in the ground
but war forgot top put down martyred, saint
freedom nailed to the cross of torment

freedom gave us tons of tin heroes
and put loads of tin medals in our pockets

no way to melt it down
no way to sell it out
to overcome poverty
to overcome one's hunger

we walk and we jingle
with cheap, tin medals
and we cannot buy a meal
for them
for nothing

translated by Mateusz Nowicki
