When the leaders speak of peace
　The common folk know
　That war is coming
　When the leaders curse war
　The mobilization order is already written out. Every day, to earn my daily bread
　I go to the market where lies are bought
　Hopefully
　I take up my place among the sellers.
Bertolt Brecht

Ludwig van Beethoven
