The grail
Violence and acts of terror
Robbery and drug abuse
Making any parent worry
Is there anything to choose
Let’s go setting sail
To the promised land
To the holy grail
Making life so grand
Many families are dreaming
About living without stress
In Italy, France or New Zealand
Just to leave this gruesome mess
Let’s go setting sail
To the promised land
To the holy grail
Making life so grand
-- --
But the selfish antisocial
Xenofobic point of view
This you cannot fly away from
It is still a part of you
Let’s go setting sail
To the promised land
To the holy grail
Making life so grand
What about a new perception
Think again and clear your mind
Better than to take an airplane
Leave your native land behind
Let’s go setting sail
To the promised land
To the holy grail
Making life so grand
-- --
Living here may not be easy
Life will never be the same
What we really will be needing
Is another social frame.
Let’s go setting sail
To the promised land
To the holy grail
Making life so grand
