They say: only the fittest of the fittest shall survive, stay alive!

Uprising (1979)

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.

Truth is the light,
So you never give up the fight.

One love, one heart,
Let's get together and feel alright.

Judge not, if you're not ready for judgment.
