The transition from communism to capitalism isn't as easy as the history books might suggest. This song is an ode to the people of the Slovak Republic.
lyrics
Sitting on the least ragged bench in the park
I’m watching the summer grow
All that’s worthy of reminiscing
Has melted with the snow
Neonsigns on worndown shacks
Symbols multiplying
It’s easy to ignore the void
And what it’s signifying
Welcome to grey
All the colors have faded away
Welcome to light
All the streetlamps have whitened out the night
Time’s leftovers spilling over
Concrete roads, concrete walls
Concrete words and concrete souls
Whatever social system reigns
Every heir to power feigns
To have the right to make believe
That everyone is equal
Welcome to grey...
Welcome to love
Is there anyone thinking of us?
Welcome to you
A nation is once more born anew
