Reject and Deny
02:55
|
|||
Of course I see, you‘re mourning after bygone times
Cross my heart and hope to die
you gave a fuck if someone cried
and all those people were just misfits and scum
Your image turned - now it‘s another one
Like a witch-hunt - the guilty´s to be found
Their voices fallen silent - the crowd is cheering loud
treat everyone the same and let them burn
we see the signs - but they‘ll never learn
Selfish, Hatred, Lies
Minds in black and white
Gone for good, good riddance, goodbye
reject and deny
No friend of mine - i wonder how you‘ve ever been
never thought you‘re cold like that
I gotta go and won‘t regret
don‘t pick me up with your poisoned mind
now I have learned I‘m a different kind

Did a Song
03:04
|

Sometimes I think it’s not ok to dance
Sometimes I think it’s like a game of chance
Would you be my light in this cold dark world
is there music in life if all the songs are unheard
Think about you
Did a song ever change your life
Sometimes I think It’s not the time to sing
Sometimes I think the whole world’s crying
could you be my sound in this muted world
to bring music in life and there’s no song unheard
anymore

Monkey Business
03:45
|
|||
We hear them calling for hate crime
We have seen this before
longing for turmoil and cold times
bay for blood and for war
the hate in their eyes and their radical speech
amass money and power - the poorest will bleed
and their pied pipers tell a pack of lies
to strain the truth for conspiracy
in rank and file - all their puppets march
but we will never give in - we will never give up
It‘s a monkey business
like a Punch & Judy show
are you ready children
are you ready to go
It‘s a monkey business
just a second rate
are you ready everybody
to smash their greed and their hate
but we know how it ends
different minds and torn apart
building walls around their land
and higher ones around their hearts
all their wheeling and dealing - all the dirty deeds
ram it into them - to target their needs
don‘t try to get to the bottom of what they say
but we will never surrender ´til they go away
no final curtain call - no clapping hands
we put the lights down - we stop your plans

Would You Say Hello
03:14
|
|||
Sometimes I can see
How I wake up from a hopeless dream
A broken record
would you spin it on repeat
If I would go back ten years
and than I would see myself
would I say hello or go away
Hey you! What would you do?
Hey you! What would you do?
Would you say hello or go away?
Tell me would you change a thing
if I told you, you would lose your dreams
broke and reckless
you did nothing to be free

Fake News
03:11
|
|||
Again they speak out the unthinkable
We‘ve got used to the radical
A line of action to trick our brains
To ignore - it’s just in vain
And all the things they need to know
it‘s all over town
to achieve the only goal
to spread their hate around
Fake News - Fake News
Sad but true - it‘s the weapon they choose
Fake News - Fake News
Read between the lines
It‘s up to you
Its the gossip from the gutter
Not true - it doesn‘t matter
Fake news the weapon they choose
Fake news - fake news
´cause of all the things you ever said
are based on a lying braid
push that window to the edge
to a bitter end
Did you hear it
Did you read it
No that‘s not true
Nothing but lies
and deceit - so do you?

Too Late for Me
03:09
|
|||
I can remember when I was sixteen years
Sitting on the stairs with my friends and lots of beers
And everything was far away living just for today
with no thoughts about tomorrow
But times were changing and years went by
Stairs are empty and clean tonight
Just fading spray paint on the wall
It’s too late to join club 27
It‘s too late to go to rock the heaven
It‘s too late for me
And styles may change but the spirit remains
I‘m still waiting to grow up
It‘s like waiting for a bus to come
but the schedule says it‘s long long gone
stuck forever at the busstop
But times were changing and year went by
People dancing on the stairs tonight
and there‘s new spray paint on the wall

Much Too Long
03:56
|
|||
I woke up and the sky was dark
I woke up - still drunk
I slept a day and everything has faded away
Yeah what I did yesterday - Yesterday is far away
I won’t wake up cause the sky is grey
I am damned to stay
let me sleep for days - please go away
tomorrow’s just like yesterday
let me lie here and waste today
Oh - how do you know
I was much too long so down
Just woke up and the sky was red
less a dream than a rise from the dead
shake off the yoke - so please stay
yesterday and today
please stay around every day
Wide awake and the sky is blue
wide awake this must be true
how did you know - all the burden’s far away
it’s all gone, the dark and grey
no more dreams of better days

Wannabe
03:10
|
|||
You’re clean and I’m dirty
and you will never turn me
you’re the one to blame
Always the same old story
You’re just a faceless hack
and everything sounds the same
Everywhere uniforms and masks
flat and pleasant
Just take em of
stay clean - I stay dirty
so stop boring me - you’re pissing me off
You wannabe like the wannabe before
and there’s nothing that defines you
nobody wants to be like you
You wannabe like the wannabe before
and there’s nothing that defines you
nobody wants to be like you
Smash away your fake days
it’s like plastic waste
It burns in a little while
I’m sure behind your neatness
there’s just emptiness
Emptiness and void

Sick and Tired
03:52
|
|||
I‘m blowing off the dust of my old SG
I‘m playing the first songs
on those rusty strings
I‘ve never felt so much of this energy
in the last few years
I just wanna destroy my tv screen
no it‘s stealing time it‘s like a thief
I don‘t wanna waste my time anymore
I‘m not supposed to be
the last one in line
the things I always loved
I start to decline
because now I know, yeah, now I know
I‘m sick and tired of being sick and tired
I throw the whiskey bottles at the wall
I don‘t wanna be hungover anymore
I‘m staying sober forever or at least for a week

Loser
02:33
|
|||
I don‘t need fast cars, cigars, caviar,
all that shit and you wonder why
I don‘t care where people live,
what they wear, who they are
and what they buy
There‘s more in life then just a career
Your ideals are what i fear
I can see the dollars in your eyes
You are capitalism personified
But I am a loser - I am a loser in your eyes
I never do it right.
You‘ve never left the machine
You are the best oiled gear-wheel ever seen
But sometimes you can feel
slowly the finish starts to peel
Maybe there is more then a career
Maybe you will be replaced, you fear
You can feel the tears in your eyes
You are capitalism Personified
Now tell me who is right

Hang in There
04:02
|
|||
You‘re walking right out of the door
and the headache you just can‘t ignore
the weekend was crazy
but Monday morning‘s got you again
You missed your bus and you are too late
so you are trying to walk the way
your feet are so wet
because of the rain
It‘s one of these days
when everything goes wrong
no matter what you do
It‘s one of these days
when you gotta be strong
but the world hates you
Yeah just hang in there
yeah just hang in there
twentyfour hours to survive
and everything will be alright
And at work your boss is pissed
there are so many tasks
and all of them are missed
and your fellows have the time of their life
you‘re stressed out and out of luck
just come down - don‘t give a fuck
sometimes everyone‘s got a bad time

Into the Sunlight
03:56
|
|||
Out all night on Saturday
shout from the rooftops into the night
don‘t wanna stop ´til the night fades away
dance here with you till the morning light
We‘re like kings and queens without a crown
and our thrones are made of dreams
and we will never call a kingdom our own
we leave it all behind to be free
we riding into the sunlight
Far away and gone for good
we gonna burn all the bridges down
we run away like someone‘s put us to rout
our way‘s ahead so don‘t look around
We were kings and queens for a single day
and we built castles in the air
and even when our dreams are blown away
we look ahead cause we don‘t care
