My friend Blue he runs the show
With hot pink purple china glow
His family trees are molded
no longer grows in summer
He holds it closer lets it go
Picks a fruit but keeps it whole
Can't keep the submarining
Can't keep the light from fading
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's all so confusing
Ain't the same for you and me
Cartoons like reality dogs and cats and children
The deepest wound is hidden
Ain't the same for you and me
Comatose commodity the superheroes dyin'
All the children cryin'
Sell more records if I'm dead
Purple flowers once again
Hope it's sooner. Hope it's near corporate records' fiscal year
Down the river, down the river
Have a listen lend an ear
Here's a song now if ya care
We can all just hum along
Words don't matter anymore
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's all so confusing
Adhesive love adhesive
Flyin' high across the plain
Purple flowers ease the pain
Here, now have a listen
Ain't the songs you're missin'
Down the river, down the river
Stitch the womb and wet the bed with a whisper I'll be dead
Don't let the living die yet! Grab the hate...
Drown it out. Grab the beat...
Drum it out. It's all so confusing
What can I say, what can I do, I'm not in need of something new.
The way things are seems fine to me.
I am a first class don juan, no second best, just number one.
Because I am god, yes I'm he.
You won't get rid of me, I am and I will always be your friend
Forever on, yes forever on
Hello, hear me knocking on your door,
Like a thousand times before.
Hello, I am everyone's best friend.
I'm always with you until the end of time.
I am the one you wish for dead, I am the ache inside your head,
And a pain in the ass.
I am the slumber in your sleep, I am the one who count your sheep.
Together we'll have a blast.
You won't get rid of me, I am and I will always be your friend
Forever on, yes forever on
Who are these people
These doers of deeds
These dreamers of dreams
Who make us believe
Who are these people
Who still win the day
When the odds are against them
And strength fades away
These people are the champions
For they never give in
A heart beats within them
That is destined to win
They follow their dreams
Though the journey seems far
From the top of a mountain
They reach out to a star
And when they have touched it
When their journey is done
They give to us hope
From the victories they've won
So here's to the champions
To all their great deeds
They follow their hearts
And become winners indeed
I know that life can be unbearable
Believe me, I've lost hope so many times
You gotta work hard, as hard as you can
Will anyone realize no one seems to care anyway,
Ignore it all as if it didn't belong.
Another regulation, the power structure rears it's ugly face.
Their actions need to be told, but there is not a single fucking trace.
Nothing is won.
No declaration is needed, pacified you move along.
Your peace comes from a talking box.
A whole generation subjugated, devastated.
So busy to revel in bliss, as their minds are sent to a fucking guillotine.
Nothing is won.
Peel your eyes. pretend it's nothing.
Subjugated and devastated, so what,
If our voices will be deprived.
Open your ears open your eyes.
Can't you see that the doors are shut?
Re-create, overthrow.
Can't you see they're men, we're mice?
It's a beautiful day and the birds scream infernally
Layers of your thoughts cover my kitchen floor
All your dreams, all your hopes are like fluids, without substance
Last in line, tries to be numerous, but fails, of course
AS IF IT WERE THE LAST TIME, YOU TRIED TOO HARD TO STAY AWAKE
YOU'RE THIRSTY NOW
DRINK AND STAY THE SAME
Morning's broken and so am I
I've got pictures of you in my bucket of hate
Smiling face, worried face but your features are dull
Go to sleep, stay awake, or do like someone else
The bourgeois conception of democracy
Is limited to the political life
Party politics, parliamentary or not
The representatives will act beyond their voter's thoughts
And the deciding opposition under capitalism
Is between the class who owns, and those who create
But the government embraces the business elite
They've made a sworn pact concerning you and me
I will never understand
Why our terms of living
Is dictated by their hands
I will never understand
Why our hopes and dreams
Must always go down the drain
We've gotta render the work it's right value
As a source to human dignity
The goods and the methods of production
Must be adapted to human needs and circulation of nature
Somewhere inside your empty head
You think you're working-class
But you corrupt the whole idea
With your "white aryan pride"
Solidarity to you,
The word is just a curse
An illusion in your world
Where only the strong survive
Everything is alright,
You may have your "white aryan war"
Everything is alright,
But you will be the first ones to go!
A job for real men a job for real saints
A world for real men a world for real saints
Everything is alright,
You may have your "white aryan war"
Everything is alright,
But you will be the first ones to go!
A near life experience, as I stepped out of myself
A sudden scent of life as I hovered round and round myself
Let's leave across the water
I've got to get out of here
Across the water
To widen my horizon
I found out there's more to life than following routines
Summon my strength and tear off all the bonds that keep me here
I'm not talking to myself. wouldn't know just what to say,
I just try my best to sit somewhere and socialize.
I know you want the best from me, but I don't care for you at all.
You have made your point so clear.
Make your wish to me. hopefully you'll see.
It's so easy to pretend, but I'm just not like before.
I just want to let it go.
At the time when you were gone, I was already down.
Some things are meant to be.
As I tried to go to sleep, I was suddenly awake,
With your face next to me.
Make your wish
I want to break away, please let me have a nice day
It's so easy to pretend, but I'm just not like before.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will
When the road you're walking seems all uphill
When the cost of living leaves you wondering why
You'd like to crack a smile, but you have to cry
When all the world is looming dark
And things seem not so clear
When the shadows seem to hover around
Take the challenge, don't have no fear
This life is odd, with it's twists and turns
It's something almost everyone someday will learn
But don't you ever give in, though the pace seems slow
You've got to take this challenge with another blow
You fucking self-righteous bigot
You teach your children to hate
and forbid them to question
Your morality is broken
Your morality is cruel
Pass your fears onto your children
your hatred and your prejudice
You fucking disciple of christian values
Your fear has laid the groundwork for oppression
Your morality is broken
Your morality is cruel
pass your fears onto your children
your cowardice and greed
If your god exists he's a racist
if your god exists he's a sexist
if your god exists he's a homophobe
The stale taste of banality makes sense, yes that is true
As I find myself believing I'm much better than all of you
It's a great lack of tolerance nurtured by you and me
And it stands as a monument over failed attempts to bring unity
You know, we're all so quick to judge
That we forget about one another
I wish that I could change my ways to become a better me
Break this chain of laziness, and erase callosity
'cause it's a great lack of tolerance that separates you and me
Too much talking behind the backs
It's not the way that things have got to be
You know, we're all
We're drowning
In the stinking sea of our self-righteousness
The more I see, the more I tell myself I'm not going to live my life that way.
A prisoner in a domestic jail. the same things happen every day.
I'm not going to live my life that way.
The more I see, the more I ask myself. am I going to live my life that way?
Asocialized in a domestic jail, where no joy would enter my world.
I'm not going to live my life that way.
Is my whole being based on isolation,
Where the outside world is but a dream?
Never a sight of any other lifeform,
So scottie, please beam me away.
A prisoner in a domestic jail. the same things happen every day.
I'm not going to live my life that way.
I'm not afraid no more
These walls we've built
It's about time we tear them down
These walls are only there to separate
What is unity worth when there only are complaints
I'm not afraid, are you?
There are far too many dividing lines
These lines are only there to separate
And to illuminate the lack of unity
Fuck the borders, fuck the dividing lines
Communication that's what it's all about
Unite to win...
I'm not afraid no more
With sincerity and honesty
How can we go wrong
Break down the walls only there to separate
We're all in this together it might not be too late
Fuck the borders, fuck the dividing lines
Communication that's what it's all about
Unite to win...
Tear the whole thing down
End it all with a smile
Throw a spanner in the works
And slow down the pace, slow down the pace
Time to aim in the right direction
We've got nothing to lose, but all to gain
Don't keep your blinders on
That's right, don't keep your blinders on
Tear the whole thing down
What we do may not matter
But when the day is over
We'll feel a whole lot better
Time to aim
Don't keep your
I listen to my own soothing words
I cover myself so I won't see the world
if anyone could see me I would cave in
my mind's not really made for living
Can I, can I (is it too much to ask)
have a little peace of mind
I can't imagine being someone else
but sometimes it feels just like an easy way
I manage to control my way of being
maybe I should try and let it rest
Can I can I (is it too much to ask)
have a little peace of mind
What if I feel fine
what if I feel nice
what if I feel great
do I know what I really feel
Can I can I (is it too much to ask)
Where's the strength, where's consolation
Where's the courage in my heart in a time like this
What is time, and what is granted
When our baby boy must leave this life and the ones he loved
ALL LOVE THAT YOU GAVE, OUR SON
ALL LOVE - WE'LL KEEP IT IN OUR HEARTS
ALL LOVE - 'TIL WE MEET AGAIN, OUR SON
ALL LOVE THAT IS BURNING IN OUR HEARTS
And though I know that you've found your peace now
Still the questions that I have keep ringing in my mind
But I know you're in the air when I breathe
You're in the wind when tomorrow appears
Here's a message to my generation
Hey, get up on your feet and join the new brigade
Become a proud member of the opposition
Gotta keep a cool head 'cause the problems they won't fade
That's right, we're gonna dance the night away
Ain't gonna let nothing get in our way
Dance to the vibration of the revolution
And to the spirit of change
WE'RE ALL LOOKING FOR THAT CHANGE
SO BETTER TIMES COME, BETTER TIMES COME SOMEDAY
Got no faith left for politicians
Their plastic smiles and oh-so-clever lies
Morons who can't tell fact from fiction
We don't want no part in this game of men and mice
That's right
WE'RE ALL LOOKING
Oh you're too good
You're really too good to believe
You're like a story with a happy-end guarantee
I say people, I say the people's gonna see
You're a false hope in an already stinking sea
That's right
You're so mysterious behind your facade
You excite me and you often make me sad
You're evasive and still you seem so straight
And I'm too weak to heave any complaint
'Cause I thought you were a haven
I thought you were a rescue
But your essence is going sour
And I'm still learning more
Give me an hour or a lifetime and I'll talk
Explain to you what your being is doing to me
Being perfect is a part of your appearance
You're convincing, but I'm still learning more
'Cause I thought
Would you show me what you promised?
Or will you just let it pass me by
It's hard to understand how far people are willing to go
In order to keep the city "clean"
They call "them" off as useless waste, the drunks, the junks and the poor
And label them all insane
Here they come again with another
State-sanctioned war
They'll wipe the city clean from the
Homeless and the poor
And for those who aren't a part
Of the town councilor's plan
Pack your belongings
Never to come back again
It's hard for people who value profit more than solidarity
To see things from the angle of a broken soul
But in the end it all comes down to what your values are
Who's the enemy and who's your brother
One bite of your world is enough to spit it out
One bite is enough to make me sick
First I despised you now I pity you
You're truly a slave to what you own
Your whole life is based on wealth
It's not difficult to see that you suffer from your own greed
You're a slave to property
So tell me how am I supposed to envy you
Luxury consumes you in your self-made cage
In your prison where the bars are made of gold
Yes I despised you but now I pity you
You have everything served and do you know
Your life requires that a portion of the population
Agrees to settle for nothing
The gaps get wider, the rich get richer,
The poor are getting poorer
I am telling you...
From this day beginning now
I will do anything to fight you!
Your life requires that a portion of the population
Agrees to settle for nothing
The gaps get wider, the rich are getting richer,
The poor are getting poorer
I am telling you...
From this day beginning now
Have you heard the latest unattractive news?
My life has been too long, the latest part is used
I'm growing old, the mirror makes me scared
I am the state-of-the-art living asshole
The concentrate of boredom
The concentrate all concentrates come from
And I wish I was god, why can't I get what I want
It could be worse, I'm quite ok
Though I'm impaled
I'm choking on the remnants of my past life
But it's ok 'cause I'm not you
I might as well share spit with some death angel
But in case you wonder, I haven't got any time
I don't know what to do
Come and join me in my willpower dance.
You will find yourself in a hypnotic trance.
I pull your strings, your reluctance will fade.
Dance by my flute, and don't be afraid.
I have cursed you, and I won't let you go.
Do you know me as your friend or foe?
You're trapped in my web, a maze of your mind.
Your strength has burnt out, and your eyes are blind.
My willpower web stops the moves of your own.
Never before have you been so alone.
I, the puppetmaster, build enchanted walls.
I make you lose your hold, and your resistance falls.
I will feed you with the truth of my own.
You will please me with your mind stripped to the bone.
I twist you into form, I cut of your wings.
It really pleases me, as I pull your strings.
My willpower web stops the moves of your own.
Never before have you been so alone.
I, the puppetmaster, build enchanted walls.
Just to consolidate yourself,
To guarantee comfort and personal wealth.
You reject other's needs because of your greed.
Your unquestioned ways must be questioned now,
When they're no more than products of a thousand-year lie.
I condemn your superior way and pathetic life.
Can't you see your actions hurt?
Well I guess you can't...
Too bad the structure will protect,
And provide these men with the assets of the common man.
The auction of human rights is here,
All designed by the government.
I wish I could live to see the day
When the state of justice can't be bought.
The only way, your only way.
Which way is that supposed to lead? who will guide you?
You turn your back on those who fall.
The righteous citizens themselves,
Alone you stand, too proud to realize
That you're not the only one
You've got a family, and they're suffering too
But they're still there for you
Do you remember the tears your mother cried
When she realized
See she's blaming herself now
And she's left with a broken heart
Echoes of laughter coming from the past
The warm embrace of a mother
A father and a brother that still are here for you
(WHEN YOU'RE COMING IN FROM THE COLD)
WHEN YOU'RE NOT RUNNING AWAY
NOT RUNNING AWAY
YOU'VE GOT A LIFE TO LIVE
A WHOLE LIFE TO LIVE
SO DON'T SURRENDER, DON'T YOU EVER GIVE IN
Oh it's stupid how you got it all wrong
You used to be so alive
Gone is the innocence of the child
Yeah, you've got a brand new life
In dirty apartments with your so-called friends
Always looking for that ultimate high
It looks like everyone's got
A broken heart these days
Echoes of laughter
[Originally by Billy Bragg]
I've always been impressed with a girl
Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
That's the way I am
heaven help me
He said we don't like peace campaigners round here
As he nailed another one to the wall
And that's what gets me in trouble
heaven help me
Goodbye and good luck
To all the promises you've broken
Goodbye and good luck
To all the rubbish that you've spoken
Your life has lost its dignity
Its beauty and its passion
You're an accident waiting to happen
There you are standing at the bar
And you're giving me grief about the DDR
And that chip on your shoulder get bigger as you get older
One of these nights you're gonna get caught
It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought
You're a dedicated swallower of fascism
Time up and time out
For all the liberties you've taken
Time up and time out
For all the friends that you've forsaken
If you chose to waste away
Like death is back in fashion
You're an accident waiting to happen
My sins are so unoriginal
I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing
In this carnival of carnivores
In the name of progress
Hey tell me what it means
Does it include the countries raped
And the people you've enslaved?
Cheap labour good labour poor labour and lied to labour
Your philosophy is profit and it includes no such things as human needs no
In the name of progress
Hey tell me what it means
Does it include paying cops
To clean up union sympathies?
Cheap labour good labour poor labour and lied to labour
The weapon is called enterprise and it's pointed at the casualties of slavery
And as the world leaders bury their heads in the sand
The exploitation continues...
In the name of progress
Hey tell me what it means
Does it include your attempts
To divide this world in master/slave?
Cheap labour good labour poor labour and lied to labour
Say, did I get that right or was it just crap coming out of your mouth
A lousy mixture of cockiness and miserable attitude
Hey! self-appointed hero
You fool around like a clown, do you wanna compete
Well it's hard to break this to you
But there ain't no trophy to win in this race
At the end of the day
The shit you've thrown will be
Thrown right back at you
All you have is a big mouth, and an even bigger ego
A terrible mixture of self-importance and plain stupidity
Oh! self-appointed star, to lie about
And mock other people around
Is really nothing but the tactics of a fool
At the end
This ain't no competition
No, no competition
You've got nothing to gain by talking shit
No, no competition
There's nothing to gain for you
In theory we're preaching integration
With lyrical content spouting unity
But with the other hand we practice segregation
And alienate ourselves from the ones who cannot be
A part of what we call "solution"
SO, MY FRIEND, BEFORE WE SMASH THE STATE
WE'VE GOT TO SMASH THE BARRIERS IN OUR HEADS
AND REALIZE IT TAKES MUCH MORE
THAN A THOUSAND SIMPLE PUNKROCK SONGS
"United we stand, divided we fall"
As we pronounce ourselves the leaders of a movement
But our narrow minds will surely doom us all
When it comes to the Day of Judgment
And that's why we've got to open our minds
Winter's coming up again now
It's time to think of someplace else
Where you can waste all of your problems
And check out all the boys and girls
At bondage beach you will have a fine vacation
Boys and girls are all the same
At bondage beach you'll find sexual liberation
You can't see why it's such a shame
You say it's due to mutual interest
Somehow I think you're way out of line
Pretending that the things you do
Are perfectly in order and
Thinking that you get along fine
Because no one will know it's you
Wash me with a soap of self-esteem, and maybe I'll regain control.
My safety net is on place, what if it breaks and I will fall?
The thing that I most fear now is the fear of really knowing what I fear.
One too many times the same old song's been amplified, cranked up to ten.
My safety net is on place and it will break if you will jukebox me again.
I'm transparent, invisible, so leave. I've built my own protective walls.
One snap was all it took to wreck my state of mind.
As I exit my sleeping mode, I want it all to rewind.
The bubble bursts, the curtain falls, and I am stripped.
Plug me into a million volts of trust, and I'll recharge my confidence.
I wish those thoughts disposable, but they seem tattooed in my brain.
The thing that I most fear now is the fear of really fearing what I fear.
One snap...
I talk to no one but myself,
'cause it's the only way to get across my point of view.
We talk for hours, and we agree,
Me and myself get along well.
Once there was this girl who kept her world within four walls.
She kept the candles lit to keep her warm.
Solitude has been her coat to clothe her in the dark.
God knows she wants to go home.
Once there was this boy who walked the darkness on his own.
He kept the needle lit to find his way.
Confused and lost, his mind was too weak to be proven wrong.
God knows he wants to go home.
A storm came by one morning and took both of them away,
and faded their already flickering light.
Two in one and one for all, they shared their destiny.
Traditions tells us to stand in line and be good citizens,
To take pride in our loyalty
Go through life with a sense of duty
And a sense of accomplishment
Our constitution says that obedience builds character...
The freedom to vote is just a big fucking joke,
It only gives us a new set of leaders
To keep the power up at high
And to fan the flames of complete stagnation
Our constitution says that obedience builds character...
Our blind obedience and willing to accept their regulations
Cannot lead anywhere else but to the destruction
Of our own individuality
Our constitution says that obedience builds character,
Autonomy, the right not to be taken away
People have the right to their own lives, so respect individuality
Integrity, a right not to be dragged in the dirt
People are different, with minds of their own
That's the way it's meant to be
But then there are always bastards who'll do anything
For a moment in the spotlight, they're gonna lie and cheat
You know it ain't right
To walk over people's lives
Think about that
When you are counting your broken bones
Variety, diversity, do you know what that means
A vital scene built on respect for one another
And not on who's got the best techniques
Unity, that's what we want, but will you ever understand
This time we let you know there's really no room
For your high horses of superiority
Punkrock ain't no competition, you stupid clown
The kids will spraypaint "joke", "fool" and "moron"
All over your holy ground
You know it ain't right
No one's better that anyone
Sometimes I feel I can't see my own actions
I reach inside and feel my spirit sinking
I turn around and see the unknown faces
I listen but I can't hear what I'm thinking
It's not about me anymore
It's not about me
I ask myself is it way too late for changing
I think I might be right but who is judging
I can't decide if I do make a difference
I try to tell myself I'm making progress
It's not about me anymore
It's not about me
Make me right
Please decide
Make things right
I can't decide
It's not about me anymore
When the power of economy lays in the hands of few
Justice will only reach the highest bidder
At the bottom of society - workers and unemployed
Our silence only makes their pockets fatter
First they drive us to the pressure point
And then they watch us collapse
They stress us with their indifference
We're just pawns in their game
Workers and unemployed, how much more degradation
For centuries we've been their possession
No rights, but obligations in their uncontrolled production
At the cost of both dignity and man
First they drive us
Capitalism means economical growth
But only for the rich in this world
Capitalism lacks the ability
To righteously distribute the resources
It creates an abundance of goods in the industrial countries
Whilst large parts of humanity has no food for the day
Even though you will never understand
It seems like your definition of punk is in the bottle in your hand
All I see in your "alternative lifestyle"
Is a fashion clown just going through a phase
Your life is for you to live it,
But please don't use punk as a cheap excuse
For acting like an idiot!
All I see in your "alternative lifestyle"
Is a fashion clown just going through a phase
Make sure the hole you're digging
There's really nothing here to see.
Even darkness glows if you compare to what's inside.
So hold your horses for a while.
I see a light, the other side.
Pinch me, pinch me. I must be dreaming.
A cry for help, but no reply.
Just an echo repeating itself all over again.
It withers and it fades away, and falls into oblivion.
Pinch me, pinch me. I must be dreaming.
Vacuum fills the empty space inside your head,
And replaces what's left to use.
When wisdom rears it's ugly face, you're far away.
You're not even close.
Let's gather 'round this ugly portrait,
Representative to the lifestyle of ours.
A sort of holding on too hard on what you've got
Has kissed gratitude goodbye, left it to rot.
You can't be serious in a word you're saying. you all disgust me.
Prejudice from obnoxious minds
Has devoured all of your filthy kind.
Defend your land with the flag up your ass.
We don't want you, you're not needed.
How can you say "limit races to one kind"
When you're just a tiny part of their plan?
Inhale insanity, go ahead and suck their lies.
You're just fuel for their combustion.
You can't be serious...
Do you really know what you're preaching and where to point the blame?
All the targets of your accusations make you look insane.
Have you ever tried understanding cultures are no threats.
In the end you'll be left with nothing, except for your greed and your fears.
You can't be serious in a word you're saying. you all disgust me.
Prejudice from obnoxious minds
Has devoured all of your filthy kind.
Masturbate with the flag up your ass.
We don't want you, you're not needed.
Let's get things straight, I will deal with you now
From all of us to all of you,
Why don't you go and fuck yourself
Your recycled words can't stand up to mine
A try to push me over is a waste of precious time
Who the fuck are you to spread your condemnated propaganda
You drug me with your fictitious truth, a mental devastation
The world you so eagerly desire does not exist
A quality, such as humanity is something you have missed
All aboard the ship of fools, that leads nowhere but to an end
We will treat you fair
But the machinery rolls on
Make your own image of life, and not the one that they project.
Teaching you all of their traditions is their way of masturbating
The spinning of the cogwheels takes us to a cul-de-sac
It's a dead end anyhow, and there's no turning back
All aboard
If I were a bomb, I'd explode right in your face
You spout your rhetoric like a prophecy
An ugly mess of ignorance and brutality
Let it come down
Burn your values to the ground
Let it come down
This is where we draw the line
Let it come down
What you call pride, I call bigotry
You're a spineless fuck searching for an identity
Let it come down
You're a mercenary in a fascist war
Desperate because you know that things are falling
What's next? another bloodstained misery?
I tell you things are gonna start moving, turning right against you
Gonna turn right against you
You call for freedom, yet you discriminate
Those who want no part in your spineless race of hate
You and me, we've got a lot of work to do
But a great wall of power is crossing our path
In this uphill struggle, yes, uphill struggle
We must keep our spirit high and never give in
And if you still believe in the government
Watch them kiss ass on the business élite
There is no place for our dreams
In a "democracy" ruled by the privileged few
WE'VE GOT TO FIND OUR STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
AND CARRY ON
WE'LL DO WHAT WE CAN TO SUCCEED
IN THIS UPHILL STRUGGLE
TAKE CONTROL OVER SOCIETY'S RESOURCES
AND ONCE FOR ALL
DISMANTLE THE GOVERNMENT
AND TAKE BACK OUR FREEDOM
We can reorganize the economy
On a cooperative and decentralized basis
Installed with the values of freedom
Equality and mutual aid
WE'VE GOT TO
"The government is not neutral, but an ally to the bosses"
We must break with this system that brings us down
Refuse to collaborate with these scumbags
So organize, strike, fight, work - together
'Cause as long as there's will, there's always hope
Based on inheritance we subscribe to old traditions
These traditions don't include compassion
these traditions don't include equality
Based on ignorance we cling on to old traditions
these traditions suppress individuality
these traditions suppress natural needs
I can't even explain how much I hate it
the way we're herded into our positions
I can't even explain how much I hate it
our lives are made up before we even live them
Based on our own greed we refuse to see other options
these options include compassion and equality
these options include individuality
I can't even explain how much I hate it
the way we're herded into our positions
I can't even explain how much I hate it
Oppression as they wash their hands
In their own incapacity
First we gave them our colours
But now we kick them back to a life of oppression
And just as easy as our state transforms
Lives into files they chase down the weak,
Line them up and cut them down
It's their blood on your hands
History can't wash it away
Can you bear the conscience for their pain
And their suffering?
It's ignorance as they wash their hands
In their own bliss
A government death-squad performs
Ethnic cleansing
And our state will gladly make the arrangements
Send the lambs back to slaughter
To a religious fascist genocide regime
It's their blood on your hands
History can't wash it away
Can you bear the conscience for their pain
And their suffering?
Our silence sanctionizes genocide
Silence itself is a form of oppression!
Time is running out for you
Just like the even flow of your own lies
Time was never on your side
But you were too self-righteous to even notice
Your problems are taking over
Soon you've got noone on your side
Life wasn't too kind to you I know
But it gives you no right to be a martyr
Life makes it's own rules
But you're far too ignorant to face the truth
Your problems are taking over
Soon you've got noone on your side
You're number one in a world of noones
Goodbye, I resign
I failed to fit into your adult world
I know I gave up and I let you down
I tried to grab the carrot but I stumbled and fell
Goodbye, I resign
I failed to be a part of your norm
I'll turn myself in and you'll hate me for doing so
The carrot I had slipped out of my hands
Beat the leaderhorse there's blood on the track
Your values were never my friends
I phone in sick I will never go back
To where you put me in line, no!
"We have such high hopes for you
If you stop acting like a child"
But this child is all I have
This child is all I am
Beat the leaderhorse there's blood on the track
Your values were never my friends
I phone in sick I will never go back
I see they're building havens for the ones
Who don't wanna live next to us
A splendid separation of us
The lower class and the wealthy scum
THEY'RE DESIGNING THEIR OWN SAFE REALITY
WHITE PICKET FENCES, A CAPITALIST DYNASTY
A MILLION MILES AWAY FROM ALL THE MISERY
They're well-fed sons and daughters of might
Paying for a place that's free
From the monster once created by their forefathers
The capitalistic society
THEY'RE DESIGNING
Artificial cities for the rich
To ease their obsession for property
Artificial streets to walk
For those who've got the right economy
I gaze an eye on those two hands that spin the time.
The hands are drenched in syrup, a seemingly endless time.
I'll wait and see. I'll wait and see, but there's no use
Because nothing ever happens, nothing, when boredom rears it's ugly head.
Yesterday came and went away. never cared to say goodbye.
I start my quest for the holy remote control,
Which runs the day on fast-forward, and skips those boring parts.
I'm wasting time, I wish I had something more important
To waste my time on, but I have not, as boredom rears it's ugly head.
Yesterday came and went away. never cared to say goodbye.
I'm busy sleeping my day away. fully scheduled, that's a lie.
Yesterday came and went away. never cared to say goodbye.
There's no limit to the riches I want to see.
I met this man, he said he would do anything for me.
I was a little nervous, but I went there anyway.
I never guessed that he would smile at me and say:
Hello, I welcome you into my humble store.
I've got lots of merchandise, I've got everything and more.
Today we have a sale on welfare, an offer you can't ignore.
It will put you on a pedestal, separate you from the poor.
His ice-cold heart and smiling face in perfect symmetry.
His gratitude increased, as I bought my destiny.
His smiling mask fell off, I saw the horns upon his head.
I won't forget the moment when he laughed at me and said:
Hello, I welcome you...
I guess you'll say stupidity isn't easily measured,
But my degradation was unbearable.
