in line for three
Presto vieni qui ma su non fare cosi'
ma non li vedi quanti altri bambini
che sono tutti come te
che stanno in fila per tre
che sono bravi e che non piangono mai
e' il primo giorno pero'
and tomorrow you'll get used to you will seem 'a normal thing to queue for three
always answer yes and behave like a civilized person.
will teach 'the moral
to recite the prayers and love the country and the flag
we are a nation of great inventors and heroes
and descended from the ancient Roman
this stove and that there' and
just enough for me
therefore 'Stop complaining and stop making noise
and when the director
all stand and clap your hands. Are you old enough
are already strong enough
hours will make you a real man
teach you to teach you to shoot
honor
teach you to kill the bad guys
and always in line for three
march with me and remember all the history books
we are good because we are always right
go straight to glory.
are now a man and you have to cooperate
get in line and back to work
and if you're good we'll have a permanent place
and promotion
and then remember that you must
preserve the integrity 'of the household
signature the contract and do not be prayer
if you want to be part of those series.
Now that you are master of your actions
now that you know make all the decisions
now that you can make your own choices and you have before
all roads open
you take the right path and not overdriven
if not then you do regret it
get in line and do not be alarmed
'cause everyone will' his right ration. A
something you have to give up even
in exchange for the freedom 'we did have
therefore' not now complain
get in line and back to work
and if you can not find anything to do
not play the victim if
because you have to sacrifice 'in the name of progess of the nation
deep down you could always emigrate.
