The more things change…
Something to prevent the public spotting
how everything is crumbling in their sight.So…it’s…whitewash we need!
Only whitewash we need.If the pig sty falls down it’s too late.
This is from the “Song of the whitewash” from some 70 years ago, with words are by Bertold Brecht and music by Hanns Eisler. I know it from a wonderful recording by Dagmar Krause.
Look, there’s a new crack started,
even the bricks have parted.
Now it seems we still have more to do!
