    Clawfinger: "The Truth"


    1. Nigger 2. The Truth 3. Rosegrove 4. Don't Get Me Wrong 5. I Need You 6. Catch Me 7. Warfair 8. Wonderful World 9. Sad To See Your Sorrow 10. I Don't Care 1. Nigger Goddamn my man you see I can't understand Why you wanna say Nigger to your brother man Taking black pride then you call yourself a Nigger Don't bring yourself down cos it just don't figure Take a look at yourself and your history You don't look like a goddamn Nigger to me It's a negative world and the white man made it Gave you a name to dominate and trade it Making blood money of his very own race man And all of this because the colour of your face man Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger Placed and educated in a neighbourhood of crime Taught from the beginning that you weren't worth time Liquorstore and gunstore next to one another With only one purpose so you all kill each other Leaving one less problem to worry about That's the way they do it this is how it turns out And justice for all with the American goverment I wanna know where all the goddamn money went We didn't see it and it didn't do no good I guess you couldn't give a fuck about a black neighbourhood Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger You're the real Niggers, You're the real Niggers, You're the real Niggers There's always gonna be fanatical minorities The ku klux klan and fucked up authorities Conservative cunts and religious preachers I don't care cos they ain't our teachers Living a life they say is free from sin Then they judge another person by the colour of their skin I feel ashamed of myself I'm a white human being Surrounded by suckers to afraid to be seeing There ain't such a thing called superior race And there ain't nothing special 'bout colour of your face You've got a one way ticket to a dead end street The pressure is on so feel the heat Media pollution is a very bad solution Hypocriticat hype is your only contribution So leave us alone and give your brothers some space Cos you're a lousy contribution to the human race Nigger Nigger ... 2. The Truth Speak the truth don't you dare lie to me I've seen it all before the way you disagree The way you always attack all the thing that you say The way you turn your back and then you walk away Shut your mouth and open up your eyes You better take your time and try to realize That no one's free from sin and when I look at you I scream within WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU You raise yourself up to the higher degree And look down in disguise at our misery You're no better than your enemy But it's easy to hate what you just can't be Don't deny the fact that you're a mortal man You can't escape from death when it's close at hand Don't sit upon a pedestal and raise your voice If you're to deaf to listen to the people choice Truth tell me the truth the truth motherfucker Tell me the truth Tell me the truth Tell me the truth the truth you sucker You play us out and you take all us for fools But I never understood who even made the rules I'll make my stand against supremacy Cos hypocritical goverments threaten me I know you ain't blind and I know you're aware But your ego's to big for you to even care The doors are wide open but your eyes are closed You're unable to look any further than your nose You open your mouth and all I hear is lies You keep spreading your message that I despise Because the game you're playing is so easy to see It's just another repeat of our history You talk about peace it's a very strong word It's always being said but it's never been heard Hi-tec weapons are here to reasure it But I've never seen a time when they've done a shit for it Truth .... Kick it to me now cos I just can't figure Take a small mistake and make a small one bigger Equality's a word have you ever even heard it I guess not and you don't deserve it Turning your backs on the problems that surface I get a feeling that you're doing it on purpose Your mind is SLIME so please resign You can't control your own life don't try to rule mine Truth .... 3. Rosegrove Right from the start you know you put me in the dirt I never even got a chance to get away I take all the crap from your drool attack The years fly and I get nothing to say You expect me to be happy and to be satisfied With the offer that you once had to give You don't try to encourage anybody to develope That's not the way that I want to live Do this Do that Come here You twat I'm still here although I hate it I wonder why I even care about a place like this I don't know if I can take it I've had it up to here with your shit and your piss I've heard so much shit from the people I hate That I really couldn't give a fuck I've been down in the shit for so goddamn long That everything looks like up Do this Do that Come here You twat I'm still here .... You see I'm sick and tired of been tied to the ground My lunges they were made to shout I'm stuck in the middle of a rosegrove maze And I can't seem to find my way out Do this Do that Come here You twat I'm still here .... 4. Don't Get Me Wrong I know you know I know you know What is the truth what is the truth who knows You know she knows they know we know What is the truth what is the truth who knows I do do you will you won't you What is the truth what is the truth to you Will you won't you do you don't you What is the lie give it a try won't you I know nothing you don't know Don't get me wrong don't get me wrong Don't get me Love me shove me kiss me hug me What is my love what is my love tell me Fuck me kick me suck me hit me What is a fuck what is a fuck tell me Take it shake it bend it break it What is my life what is my life take it Thrill me kill me fill me make it What is the truth what is the truth fake it See me be me hear me fear me What is the truth is the truth near me School me fool me rule me drool me What is the truth what is the truth full me Can you can't you do you don't you Hear my reply don't ask me why will you Help me leave me feed me bleed me Need me to lie what is a lie tell me I know nothing .... I know you know I know you know What is the truth what is the truth who knows He knows she knows they know we know What is the truth what is the truth who knows I do do you will you won't you What is the truth what is the truth to you Will you won't you do you don't you What is a lie give it a try won't you I know nothing .... 5. I Need You All my disillusions are filling up my head And all of my frustrations are lying in your bed All my explanations just don't make any sense Leave me be babe can't you see the tensions to immense You just can't understand me so you drag me to the ground But I don't hear a single word You just can't bring me down So don't you dare to criticize the way I think and live All you get is what I've got and all I want to give I love you I hate you I kiss you I rape you I cheat and deceive you I leave you I love you I hate you I kiss you I rape you And I cheat and deceive but I need you And I cheat and deceive but I need you You say you really need me and then you close the door You say you want to leave me and then you beg for more Well I ain't sentimental so don't try to set a trap Cos everytime you hug me you stab me in the back If you want my body then just make love to my mind And don't you try to hurt me cos I ain't the hurting kind I told you that I loved you but you didn't care at all I needed you to touch me but instead you crushed my balls I love you .... I know I said I need you but that was just a lie You asked me if I loved you but you never asked me why So now you've got your answer and I hope you're satisfied And don't you dare to tell me that you ever even tried There's nothing I can give you that you ain't already got Cos even when you've got it all you say that I forgot To give you all my loving and to give you all my time There's ain't enough for the both of us and right now I want mine I love you .... 6. Catch Me I've been standing on the edge of the roof looking down I've been looking at the people that are gathering around I've been here for an hour or maybe even more Just looking at the people that I've never seen before Stupid little faces are all I can see Those silly little suckers are all laughing at me No wills cheap thrills you're puppets to the master Your only satisfaction is my lonely disaster You learned how to creep and you learned how to crawl But you never really learned anything at all When I was a boy everything was just fine I learned how to talk and how to walk in line I had to learn the rules that build our society But I could never understand it didn't mean shit to me Everybody always told me I was out of my mind But I never did kiss anybodys behind I'm a lot older and I guess I should know But I'm standing on the roof just watching the show Standing on the edge and my step belongs to me And I'm telling you all I won't miss what I see One foot over there's no time to turn around Both feet are over and I'm heading for the ground I'm flying in the air and I can feel the cool breeze The people on the pavement have gone into a freeze No space no time it's like walking on the moon My heart is still beating but it won't be soon I can hear myself scream when I hit the street I can't feel a thing from my head to my feet I told you I would do it and I didn't even cry I FEEL MORE ALIVE DEAD THEN WHEN I WAS ALIVE 7. Warfair Do you know how it feels to be down in the dirt With a bullet in your breast and blood on your shirt Lying in a bloodpool down in a pit Covered with a corpse and the blood and the shit How does it feel to have a gun at your head When you know that you'd be much better off dead Looking right down through the barrel of a gun Don't try to tell me that you think it's fun Playing for your mercy don't say you see the light What difference does it make if the good Lord's right At the end of the war the survivors are none B'cos a war is a loss a war can't be won You're just another soldier and you're doing the dying You're a symbol of a nation so boy stop crying Hero of a war such a man so brave A media's worth nothing when you're lying in your grave Do you know the pain Marching into history marching into war Can you feel the shame Marching into misery you function as a whore 5 o'clock in the morning and they shout out your name But they don't really care cos you all look the same Now this is the army and we train to kill Our job is to give you that fighting will So get off your knees and stand straight like a man Do I have to tell you twice to make you understand Freedom has a price and that price is blood So chase the motherfucker right down in the mud Do you know .... Warfair warfair warfair warfair Ignore all your feelings just go all the way If you don't then death is the price you have to pay This ain't peace and love no man this is war Don't even dare to ask what you're fighting for Just search and destroy never question a lie You don't want to bite the bullet boy you don't want to die Don't try to tell me that you couldn't kill a man That's a load of fucking bullshit boy I know you can Do you know .... 8. Wonderful World There's a peddler a pusher standing on the corner There'a a junky on the streets with some crack to warm her Down and out in the city she's working as a hooker So the system took the freedom to overlook her She don't exist that's made her feel the hate She's just a victim of the world that we create She didn't have a chance man she didn't want to do it But she never got the choice so she just said screw it She took it to the bottom just trying it all Knowing that nobody even cared at all Don't deny her needs take a look at yourself Before you start talking 'bout anybody else Such a wonderful world such a wonderful world There's a lower class family they're living in a vice You know it ain't to bad but it sure ain't nice Four kids in a flat that was built for two Cockroaches on the floor so what they gonna do Rats in the cellar no water in the tap The kids of today are growing up with this crap A sweet loving mother she does everything she can A father with a will he's a fighting man He's lost his job and all the money's been spent So tell me anybody who's gonna pay the rent And you're all talking 'bout equality This whole fucking world is insanity Such a wonderful world .... wonderful wonderful Meanwhile in a suburb on some fancy boulevard There's a couple in a house with a dog on guard 3 cars in the garage they keep everything inside Afraid of the violence afraid to go outside Money ain't funny if you're afraid to use it You grip it to hard when you're afraid to loose it Working as a lawyer in some upperclass area Alone at home his wife going into hysteria A gun under her pillow to tense to relax To rich to face reality to scared to face the facts They stick to what they got and they try to make it pretty Hiding from the life that's going on down in the city Such a wonderful world .... 9. Sad To See Your Sorrow I want to touch you but I don't possess the power It turns me inside out to feel the pain of your distress You push the needle deeper in your arm for every hour I know your life was so beautiful but now it's turned into a mess I've tried to understand you but the thought seems so unreal That a person would forsake herself and try to break herself with pain Just like a child you're so innocent and you long so much to feel But instead you push the needle deeper down your vein Sad to see you sad to see your sorrow You know I've see you in so many different ways The reflections of your agony are scared upon your face You warm the spoon just to numb yourself from much much better days And you hope that someone else is there who might want to take your place Everytime you scream I hear you thought you scream so silent And you're longing for your babychild to be in a much better place So addicted to your loneliness full of self destructive violence You still try to love your child and see the smile upon it's face Sad to see you sad to see your sorrow .... Take away the pain and take away the sorrow I cry in silence hoping you'll come through Take away the pain and could be dead tomorrow I wish that I could help you but there's nothing I can do I WISH THAT I COULD HELP YOU BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO I feel as if I'm by your side even though you're far away from here The poison mingles with your blood and slowly satisfies you But what I wonder most of all is if you really want to disappear You keep struggeling with emotions mixed inside you Please don't disappear you know to many people love you But you see you're still the only one that can ever dry your tears So don't you rely on anyone below or up above you You better grab your life and then get a grip before it disappears Sad to see you sad to see your sorrow .... 10. I Don't Care You're all so fucking hostile you're all so fucking mean With your triple K complexion screaming keep our country clean With your triple K superior picknick and your burning cross parade You're all dressed up in white boys you're real American made Hypocrite that's the name wear But I really don't care what you say No bullshit you're so full of it It comes out of your mouth every day I dont care what you say I don't care what you say I want to be somebody special so you take it to the extreme Waste a jew a black or two and wipe their race out clean You practice on a target but your guns still full of lead You hunt them down ten or one and you aim to hit the head Repulsive you really make me hate all the things you deny and you fake Primitive you show no respect for all the lives you take and forsake I don't care .... Your mouths are so enormous and your dicks are just so small You're just to dumb to realize you ain't got no brains at all There ain't nothing in your deadheads that I could ever even understand And you've still got the guts to tell us all that we should join the klan I truly believe you're deaf dumb and blind I believe you're unable to look I truly believe you're really out of your mind Take a look in the history book I don't care ....

    Clawfinger: "You Pin Me Down"


    1. Power 2. Pay The Bill 3. Pin Me Down 4. Waste My Time 5. Die High 6. It 7. Do What I Say 8. Undone 9. What Are You Afraid Of? 10. Back To The Basics 11. Easy Way Out 12. Tomorrow 1. Power You're politically correct no matter what you say Convincing us all in every single kind of way Cos you frame the words so that we really believe That there's a depth in the message that you're trying to achieve So you twist your tongue to make it all sound true Making us believe that we haven't got a clue You tell us all exactly what you think we want to hear With theatrical tactics to boost your career Every promise you make is just a promise you break And you can never admit that you could make a mistake Because you say one thing and you mean something else You only care about yourself and your wealth so all I say is Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it why do you want it With your military mind you were born a leader And discipline and order is an everyday procedure Sp bring out the man in every innocent boy And teach them how to kill so they can search and destroy To protect and to serve and to die with honour and pride You say you're fighting for peace but that's the biggest lie You're preparing for war and your martial law But you don't know what it's for any more so all I say is Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it why do you want it Power is a sickness power is to blame Power is a weapon and it's driving me insane Power is an enemy, power is pain Power is a war but to you it's just a game Power is glory, power is gold Power is chaos and you're out of control Power isn't freedom, power is a cage Power is your sin and it feeds my rage Power to the one who doesn't want it Do you want it why do you want it 2. Pay The Bill I can't complain I've made myself a name And all I really want is five minutes of fame Some material wealth and a life in good health Cos all I really care about is myself I don't know a single thing about the situation But why should I care about the next generation I've got everything I need but I still want more I can't understand why you complain cos you're poor I don't feel sorry for you we've got the same possibilities It's all about taking your own responsibility I took mine so I deserve what I got I've got my name on the wall of fame I'm going straight to the top It cost me a lot of money but I took my degree And that's the biggest difference between you and me There's not a thing in the world that my money can't buy I can't understand why you didn't even try So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill You can't blame me because you're underfed You should be glad that you've got a roof over your head If you worked for a living you could pay your rent Instead of begging me for help when all you're money's spent You won't ever fool me because I know your type I see you standing on the corner like a parasite You're a loser and you know it but you don't even care I can't understand why you say life ain't fair So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill So why complain I feel no shame I've used my skill And the next generation has to pay the bill Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay the bill The next generation has to pay pay the bill Give me one good reason why I shouldn't complain I've done everything I can but it's still the same I've got nothing to lose so why should I give a fuck My life's a piece of shit and that's where I'm stuck I never got a fair chance to even prove myself So tell me why should I be nice to anybody else You say you can't understand why I say life is a bitch I can't understand how you can be so rich So what do you mean we've got the same possibilities I haven't even got your educational abilities I dropped out of school before I took me degree Cos the welfare line made more sense to me I try to work for a living so I can pay all my debts And I've come to realize this is as good as it gets I hate my fucking life more than you hate me I just can't understand why this is how it should be So I complain it's still the same We're standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill So I complain it's still the same We're standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay, pay the bill 3. Pin Me Down I try to hide and deny my inner thoughts and true reactions By fooling myself with ill-concealed dissatisfaction I can't take it any more I can't stand the situation I don't want to be a victim of another confrontation I'll pretend that I know I need you to sympathize I'm so unsure of myself so please don't you criticize You can bend me and shake me you can twist me till I break And whatever you do I'll take the blame for your mistakes Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth When I need to shout you pin me down I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out You want to shape me up so that you can mould me in You want to fold me out just so you can fit me in You feed me full with your discriminating terrible lies What do you want from me should I believe in all your alibies I don't know where to go so which way should I turn I try to understand but you don't want me to learn You tie my feet to the ground there's not a chance that I can walk I want to scream but you gag my mouth so I can't talk You want to stretch me out just so you can pin me down You want to dry me out just so you can watch me drown You want to watch me starve so you can force me to eat And then you knock me down when I'm back on my feet 4. Waste My Time From the white man's mouth and the white man's tongue There's been hundreds of years of diabolical dung So much prejudice piss has been trickling down And I can smell the shit coming from miles around You're so full of shit you're out of your mind What the fuck is wrong don't waste my time Waste my time I'm not white I'm punk the but colour of my face Represents a fucking farce called the superior face White power bullshit I'll wipe my pink fucking ass With your swastika flag cos it belongs to the past You want me to believe that dark skin is a sin Well wake up it's 95 where the fuck have you been What are you trying to achieve with your racist crap That shit's coming out the crack from the bottom of your back You are making me sick with your pathetic ricks You try to tell me different colours don't mix You tell us so many lies that you believe them yourself You spent your whole life blaming everyone else 5. Die High Going down slow, how low can you get Before you break yourself and wake up in a sweat On the killing floor with the damage done You can pity yourself but your race is run You can climb the walls without reaching the top And the higher you feel the further you drop But you just want to get high Going one step further, slipping down the line You're living your life on borrowed time How much abuse can you take from yourself Is your addiction worth more than life itself When you make the bet you have to pay the debt And if you're lucky you can live with your own reget or you can get high Get high push your luck to the limit You're gonna die high Get high if you think you can win it You're gonna die high Don't lie cos you're stuck right in it You're gonna die high Get high why the fuck are you in it You're gonna die high There's a lot of good reasons but no excuse You can never justify your drug abuse You can legalize the hit but the problems remain You still feel like shit the effect's the same You're wasting your time with that fucking crap The choice is yours and I can give you that And you still want to get high You can never rely on the drugs you buy You can never deny all the tricks you try You can do anything just to get your fix You can try anything just to get your kicks You don't hesitate to cheat or lie And bad excuse is a good abili You say you hate yourself and you want to die But it's all the same you still want to get high 6. It I can hear it in your voice I can see it in your eyes I can smell it in the air I can hear it in your sighs The way you look at me and the way that you act The way you make me feel I have to react Is it beautiful enough to keep you begging for more It's painful to see I can't take it any more I know what it is I can see it in my dreams I know what it's like I know what it means I can make it go away I can make it disappear I can make it right I can make it happen here Feels like I have to do it it has to be done It's time to get it over with it's useless to run It could have been something nice you said to me But I can hear it in your voice you just pity me You make fun out of me and every word that I say And I can hear you laugh when I walk away So don't try to be nice and don't you try to pretend You don't know who I am I'm not your friend You don't think I know but I can read between the lines Don't smile I'm not your clown I can see all the signs Nobody knows it and nobody can see I'm not talking to you but you're smiling at me I know it's gonna happen but I don't know when But it's happened before and it can happen again I want to do things to you that you'll never forget It's not an empty threat you deserve what you get 7. Do What I Say Don't to this don't do that Don't you ever talk back Don't speak with food in your mouth Just keep quiet while the grown ups are talking I'm not being mean I'm just being fair It's just because I really care You know that I love you But shut your mouth you just have to do what I say I don't want you to lie You're much too old to cry You're just to young to know But when you're older you'll understand You are mine I own you Look at me I'm talking to you Don't use that tone to me So shut your mouth you just have to do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do what I say When I grow up there will be a day When everybody has to do it my way I've paid to raise you good Done everything I could so don't you dare to say That I ever cared about you anyway I gave you good food to eat I kept you on your feet I gave you all my good advice Not once did I hear you thank me for all that I've done You don't know anything About my suffering I went through a lot of pain Just to get you where you are today If I ever hit you It's because I have to You have done something wrong And you deserve the punishment, you'll have to pay Don't ask me why not Be glad with what you've got Don't tell me you're alone You should be glad that you have a home Just look me in the eyes You have to realize I make the rules that's it It's for your own good so you have to do what I say 8. Undone When I was young I was taught to throw sticks and stones Because sticks and stones they could break your bones The only way to get ahead that made any kind of sense Was to enrich myself at other people's expense I could walk over corpses to make myself a name I would cheat and I could lie without showing no shame People tried to stop me but they didn't understand I wasn't looking for affection or a helping hand Why doesn't anybody listen Why doesn't anybody hear Why doesn't anybody see me Why doesn't you interfere Don't ask me why I never told the truth cos I believe all my lies I believed that if I made my own alibis I would find a good reason and a better excuse So I could justify my hate and my self abuse I would satisfy myself in any way I could Because I knew that I would always be misunderstood I did a lot of mean things that are hard to forgive But all I ever wanted was a life to live Looking back at my life there's a lot I regret I made a lot of mistakes that I can never forget But I didn't know better I was insecure I guess I never took care of my problems before I feel bad about the people that I pushed around I feel bad about the people that I let down I put the blame on myself I can't look the other way Living with my guilt is the price I have to pay 9. What Are You Afraid Of? What a scam, you see I'm living in a land Where the present situation is getting out of hand Racist brutality's an everyday reality It doesn't take more than a different nationality Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time To get abused or accused of committing a crime If it's a sign of the time then it's time to change your mind And leave your fucking ignorance way behind So face the facts cos that shit is played out You haven't got the slightest clue what you're talking about Because the problem is you and your racist buddies Prejudice right wing small time nobodies What are you afraid of What's your prejudice made of What are you afraid of The only one that's coming with a threat is you So what the fuck are you afraid of It's about true the real problem is you Because you've made up your mind to hate them all Except you say send them all back to where they're coming from But it ain't that fun to be living on the run You wouldn't want to age a gun blow the brains out your head So try to understand the shit they're going through instead Because a woman or a man with a different face colour Is exactly the same as your own sister or brother So first we let them in and then you want to throw them out Well I'd really like to know what all this shit is about Is it you are you afraid of what's new Are you afraid of everyone that doesn't look like you It's just a colour and I'm colour blind The only colour I know is the colour of my mind There's only one race and that's the human race And every human being's got the right to feel safe So stop this insanity and take a look around Get a hold of yourself and get your feet on the ground Stop playing around this shit has got to cease In the name of understanding in the name of peace 10. Back To The Basics Back to the basics supernaturalistic Baby put away your make up and your lipstick High heels tight skirts the rest of all your plastic I'm telling you it's making you look even more spastic Hanging at the hot spots looking for attention Showing off your brand new silicone extension All the men'll be staring but they only want to slam it They couldn't give a fuck about your inside damn it Back to the basics living as you earn So forget about your money let it burn baby burn You can't have it all how hard to ever try No matter what you get there's always more you can buy So walk it like you talk it forget about your street smart The friends in your surrounding love you for your real heart Spending all your money, boy don't waste it Right about now we're going back to the basics I know where I want to go but in case you didn't know I'm going back to the basics Don't be ashamed about the way you might look Because you don't read a person like you read a comic book There's a whole lot more than meets the eye And if you hear something else then it's a goddamn lie The way you're going out is really getting to me Cos people only see what they want to see If life ain't more than money and a facelift Right about now we're going back to the basics I know where I want to go but in case you didn't know we're going back to the basics 11. Easy Way Out Introspection self perfection Are you scared of your reflection Suicide is no solution Try to make your contribution Don't believe in resurrection You won't find the lost connection Life is only what you make it So decide if you can take it There is no easy way out Do you like the situation Can you take the penetration When you've made your reputation Take care of your own frustration Life is hard don't make it worse Don't tell me your life's a curse You can't regret the choice you've made If you decide what chords are played There is no easy way out Can you feel your own frustration Can you grip the situation Do you feel determination Do you feel the suffocation Do you feel the sterilization Do you feel the strangulation Don't say that you don't want to live your life anyway Don't say that you can't take another day Don't say nobody cares about you anyway Do you know what your friends would say 12. Tomorrow How many times will it take before we pull the breaks Will we learn from all the past mistakes That it's all about give or take How many times will it take before we start to make Can we make hope out of hate Can we set the records straight Now I want to get the message through to you How can I make you understand You've got to give a helping hand What do we need, is it to achieve and believe Is it that we've got to be true Is it just a point of view Some day there will be a tomorrow Another day another vice another roll of the dice Some way there will be a tomorrow tomorrow Too many times there has been too many different signs That too many people's minds In the past have been blind How much of our time can we spend wasting our time Even all the biggest crimes Are coming from inside our minds It's up to you, will you do what can be done Will you let the rat race be run Do you think it can be won So what's the cause, why do we need so many laws We don't need another war We can't win them any more How many times will it take before we start to make Can we make hope out of hate Can we set the records straight What can we do What can we say Is there a way To get the message through to you

I'm Your Life & Religion 11. Crazy 12. I Guess I'll Never Know 1. Two Sides There's nothing a god can give to me that I can't give to myself I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself There's not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time It's not that I don't believe at all but I can't need a heavenly sign I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees I can respect your religion but I don't want to pay your fees I don't want to hear you talk about things you think that I need So don't help me back on my feet again until you can hear me plead Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find All the rules and regulations made to manipulate your mind Don't pretend that you're blind, just open your mind and study historical times The bigger the loss The bigger the cost The bigger the cross And its crimes I don't believe in god that I need to worship I don't believe that I need to get down on my knees I don't believe that voice from above can help me I only believe in that I can see and the things I can achieve Whatever belief you belong to there's still always a reason to doubt And there's always another opinion as to what life is all about There's always a bigger dimension and a different point of view So I don't want to try to change you that decision is up to you Whatever your final choice is and however you chose to live You better be happy for what you can get and happy with what you can give There's only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do And that is to do unto others as you'd have others do unto you Two sides two sides to every story Two stories more makes four new ones to chose Four sides four sides to every story Four stories more makes eight new ones to chose Eight sides eight sides to every story Eight stories more now which one should you chose Now which one can you use 2. Hold Your Head Up Burn your bridges, bite your tongue Dig your own grave, what's done is done What's in your head, what's on your mind Time will tell don't look behind What I keep inside my head is stuck right on my mind And time will tell if I should look behind Hold your head up, hold your head up high Hold your head up, hold your head up high Hold your head up, put up or shut up Two steps forward and one step back The time will come when you loose track Speak your mind or sell your soul Stand tall or fall down in a hole I've got to speak my mind before I sell my soul I've got to stand for what I am before I fall It's too late I guess what's done is done I'd rather dig myself a grave than bite my tongue So I take two steps forward and then one step back I'm not afraid of loosing faith, I'm scared of loosing track 3. Biggest & The Best Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty fucking close And I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose I think you better listen 'cause I know who you are And I think that you should treat me like a superstar Because I'm more than just a human I'm the gift to all of you And I'm here to make sure that my message gets through I wonder if you're really all as dumb as you look Or are you smart enough to learn the rules in my book I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring Puts me in the position of a god or a king 'Cause I blessed with the gift of the magic touch And I wouldn't say that I'm asking for too much All you have to do is get down on your knees and pray And I promise you the remedy is on its way But you can never be like me so don't waste your time Because I reign supreme and my position is divine What's wrong with being self possessed? Nobody's satisfied with being second best I've got the gift and I know that I'm blessed And I've got to get it off my chest I'm the biggest the best Better than the rest Better than the rest I'm not afraid of competition cos I'm know that I'm best And you haven't got a chance to even pass my little test Even if you wanted to you couldn't pay the price There ain't no room for losers in my perfect paradise 'Cos life is always based upon the weight of your success So I'll make sure that I get the most and nothing less If I love myself then everyone will love me too And there's nothing you can do for me that I can't do So welcome to my kingdom and enjoy your little stay Even if you can't afford it I'll still make you pay So you better come and get it and enjoy it while you can Don't tell me that you're dumb enough to think I give a damn I couldn't care less about what you achieve And there's only one thing that you have to believe The only thing important that you have to understand Is that no matter what you say I'm still the god I really am 4. Chances Are you satisfied with everything the way it is Are you stuck in the conformity of minding your own biz Does a confrontation make you want to turn and run And do you think about the things you like to have undone Are you scared of looking back at all the things you've said? And do you keep the words you'd like to say inside your head Well nothing changes by itself without some kind of clash And there's always gonna be some barriers to smash Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get If you never move ahead you'll keep on looking back The only thing you're doing is just filling out the cracks Another coat of artificial paint won't change a thing Unless the whole foundation gets a brand new coloring What is there to lose except some insecurity That you replace with faith to not be scared of what you see 'cos every little risk you take breaks down another wall The biggest chance that you can take is just to let it fall Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get There's a chance you haven't taken any chances yet 5. Don't Wake Me Up Everyone is happy in your favorite dream It's a pleasant surprise with all your favorite scenes Just like a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky And the only thing to blind you is the sun in your eyes When your body's asleep all your thoughts are awake Travelling through stories that your mind likes to make Take a look around, enjoy that you feel Is it just imagination or is everything real Don't wake me up I want to dream Don't wake me up I want to dream I want this dream to last forever Don't wake me up I want to dream I want this dream to last forever Don't wake me up The skies are getting cloudy there's storm on the way The vision's disappearing in a strange kind of way The perfect little picture that you paint in your head Is a distant memory when you get out of bed Don't wake me up I want to dream Don't wake me up I want to dream I want this dream to last forever Don't wake me up I want to dream I want this dream to last forever Don't wake me up Don't wake me up before I understand that everything means Why does somebody always come and wake me up from my dreams 6. Not Even You How come all things you say just don't make sense to me Why do we spend so much time just refusing to agree If you say you like something you know I'll say I don't And when you want to do something that's fun you know I won't Why is it always my turn to take care of this mess I don't think it's fair to say I'm always doing less You don't know what I do so I don't think you should moan And if you're so much better you can do it on your own Nobody likes me like I do, not even you Nobody needs me the way I do, not even you Nobody knows what I'm going through, not even you You always make me feel like everything I do is wrong And things would be much easier if we could get along But every time I criticize you, you over react Please don't tell me one more time that opposites attract That has to be the biggest fucking lie I've ever heard Don't tell me to shout my mouth I haven't said a word You're the one that started it and you know that I know So what's the use there's no excuse you know that no means no Is there really any point in working this all out All we ever do these days is fight and scream and shout Maybe we should give it up and just call it a day I can't think of anything I even want to say I've done my share of caring and it isn't any good I'm sick and tired of feeling like I've been misunderstood So give me one good reason and I'll stay night here with you I can't take another day I don't know what to do 7. Nobody Knows Lets all pretend that we're stupid and dumb And that nobody knows where it's all coming from I've got a whole lot of questions that I'm never gonna ask I don't want to know what's behind your mask I've got a life of my own it's hard enough as it's Without having to listen to your personal biz If we all keep quiet it could be ideal 'Cos I don't want to know how you feel Nobody, nobody knows Nobody shows it if nobody knows it Nobody, nobody knows Nobody knows it, until you expose it Nobody, nobody knows So don't open your mouth if you don't know how to close it It's a god damn pity I don't know what the use is For all of your good for nothing lame excuses It's complicated makes me frustrated Brings everything out of me you've always hated Instead of pretending that we always agree Why don't you just tell me what you think about me Because we all want to leave but nobody wants to go 'Cos everybody knows we all know Everybody knows what I'm talking about All the little white secrets that never come out All the things that we do and the things that we say In this stupid little game called life we play I don't want to hurt you so I don't want to know What you're thinking about and where you're going to go I don't want to stick my nose in anybody's affairs I don't want to know and who cares 8. I Can See Them Coming I'm the center of my own universe and I'm sitting on top of my world I'm the middle of my attention and I'm the best joke I've ever heard I'm the king of my own castle and I'm the master of my own mind I'm the best friend that I've ever had, the best friend that I'll ever find I'm the nicest person I've ever met, the only person that I'll never forget I'm the best sex that I've ever had, the one relationship I'll never forget I can see them coming We want to lock you up, they want to lock me up We want to put you away, they want to put me away We want to shut you up, they want to shut me up We want you out of the way, they want me out of the way I'm the greatest star in my hall of fame, I'm the host of my own show I'm the main character in my book, I'm the most humble guy I know I'm the leader of my own army, I'm the fuhrer of my chosen ones I'm the atom bomb that I'll blow my world, all the way to my kingdom come I'm the god of my own bible, I'm the Jesus of my own cross I'm the savior of my own people and I'm my own creator I think I'm going crazy I'm loosing my mind 9. Wrong State Of Mind I was dreaming that I was caught up in the middle of a parade But I wasn't paying attention to the statement being made And when I looked up at a banner and saw just what it said Then I wished that I was somewhere else instead Because the message on the banner was for white supremacy And no matter how hard I tired it didn't make any sense to me So I studied the people around me trying to think of what to say But the only thing I could think of was to laugh and walk away I was dreaming that I was talking to a man about his faith And I was far away from home in some kind of exotical place The situation was such that when I looked at my surrounding I got nervous and my heart just started pounding I realized that I was the only man that was Caucasian All the people around me looked like oriental Asian I was a legal alien in a difficult situation But I could relate to the state I was in when I thought about discrimination Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time Or was I in the wrong state of mind Wrong place, wrong time, wrong state of mind I was dreaming that I was at home and when I look a look around It was as if the entire population had suddenly gone underground I was standing all by myself and there was on one to be found The only thing worse than a terrible noise is not even hearing a sound There wasn't a trace of a human face as far as my eyes could see I started to feel kind of lonely and I wanted some company I had it make do with myself and the thought didn't appeal to me 'Cos the only thing worse than to many people is feeling completely lonely Anybody could be related with a monkey in a tree Or an ancient tribe from Africa but this doesn't bother me I've probably got lots of relatives that are Jews and nobody knows Maybe that's the reason for the size of my big and beautiful nose My family tree is a mystery that comes from all over the place So tell me the logical definition of a perfect race Some people are dressed in a darker tan and some have a lighter shade And I can assure you nobody's sure exactly where they were made 10. I'm Your Life & Religion I know the answers to the questions in your mind I've been to the places that you couldn't even find I seen all the things you never thought you'd get to see I've been everyone you couldn't be I've read all the stories and I know how they end I've fixed all the broken things that you couldn't mend I've taken all the chances what you never even took And I've found the things you overlooked I'm the answer to your questions, I'm belief when you're in doubt I'm based on a rumor, I'm spread by word of mouth there's no proof of my existence I'm the myth that you arouse I'm your life and religion, your faith and your hope Your drug and your addiction, your injection of dope I've meet all the people that you never dared to meet I've played all the games of life and never once been beat I've walked upon the water without even getting wet And there's not a thing that I regret I've done everything that's wrong and made it right again I've talked to all my enemies and turned them into friends I've been crucified and resurrected from the dead Do you believe a single word I've said? I'm the answer to your questions, I'm belief when you're in doubt I'm based on a rumor, I'm spread by word of mouth there's no proof of my existence I'm the myth that you arouse I'm your life and religion, your faith and your hope Your drug and your addiction, your injection of dope I'm everywhere and nowhere I'm your savior when you sin I'm your great escape to higher ground when you give in I'm everybody's scapegoat I'm a glimpse of clarity Would you sacrifice yourself for me? 11. Crazy I think I'm going crazy I loosing my mind 'cos the logic of the story is impossible to find Like a talking head I'm gonna making sense 'cos bad news is like sitting on a burning fence I've got one hot minute of the higher ground And like Simon said I know the silence is the sound Nevermind I'll reach Nirvana if I have to pay I'm a fool for a lifetime and a king for a day Crazy I'm going fucking crazy Crazy I'm going fucking crazy I am looser looking for the mellow gold But in the garden of sound you know the story's getting old So I'll sow my korn by the Helmet in the Bush And in the meantime I want you all to help me push With the Tool of intolerance I'm ready to crack 'cos I've got Suicidal Tendencies so lets get whacked I'm gonna suck up the dust, and light the fire inside And take a rollercoaster ride to the bizarre side I'm insane in the brain like a looney-toon And I'll see you on the dark side of the moon I'm the man in the box locked up in chains And I'm buried deep down underneath the remains I'm a psycho-maniac, welcome to my nightmare I'll use your brain like chemical warfare I'm out of mind let's count the bodies from dead 12. I Guess I'll Never Know After all these precious years you chose to just give in Why did you leave so many things undone I only scratched the surface of the thoughts you had within And for me your life had just begun Why did you think that you were never good enough to give When you accepted me right from the start I never saw the side of you that didn't want to live And I miss you from the bottom of my heart What was it that you never told a soul about yourself What kind of thoughts were buried inside Was there really no one there you thought would understand Or was the only barrier your pride Witch so much love around you I just wish you'd loved yourself 'Cos no one here can ever take your place You were someone special and my words just can't express How much I miss the warmth of your embrace Why did you just give in Why did you just give up and let it go I guess I'll never know It's hard to see you disappear without a real good bye There's so many things I wish I'd said But all the little things you did that made it all worthwhile Met more than all the tears you ever shed You always seemed so happy but I guess no one can tell What goes on inside a person's mind You loved you children dearly and you did your very best And someone new like you is hard to find All the things you went through for you children every day And all the sacrifices that you made Were worth much more than anything that wealth could ever buy And now that love can never be replayed In the end I guess you couldn't take it anymore So you closed your eyes and swallowed all your pain I know that you've done the same so many times before But all the question in my mind remain

Fool In Paradise 12. Revenge 13. Vienna 1. Two Steps Away I'm two steps away from stepping over the edge and getting lost in the great unknown Because one small step in the wrong direction is enough to shake the cornerstone Where ever I'm thrown no matter where I end up it can't be any worse than here If I'm sincere with myself then tell me what else is there really left for me to fear I'm two steps away from just killing myself because I'm sick and tired of being the prey but when I'm dead everything that I've said will loose it's meaning and fade to grey I'm not ready for that I'd rather counterattack Instead of leaving my own song unsung Because I'm too young to die and I can never justify not breathing air into my lunges I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'm two steps away from making somebody pay for everytime that I've been decieved How can I believe a single word you say when I know you've got a card up your sleeve I might be naive but I'm still forced to beleieve that all the best in life is yet to come That's why I refuse to lose my faith in myself even after all the wrong that you've done [Chorus] 2. Out To Get Me They're out get me,I can't escape cos' they won't let me They won't forget me,They'll get me in their grip and sweat me They'll wait me out,and then move in under my skin They'll make me doubt,They're out to make me let them in I can't escape them, there's nowhere I can run and hide Make one mistake and, that's when they work their way inside They'll try and take me, they'll break me down and suck me dry I can't' let them shape me, they'll make me up and make me cry They're out to get me I wan't to leave but they won't let me out They're out to get me I wan't to leave but they won't let me out They won't forget me They'll get you in their grip and sweat me out They're gonna hit me, cuff me up and then bullshit me Then they'll outwit me, dress me up and make it fit me They'll lock the door now, Keep it shut and throw away the key They'll turn the lights out, What no one knows, nobody sees [Chorus] 3. Nothing Going On I've been around the world I've got a hit in the charts I've become quite famous But I ain't got no heart I've got expensive clothes and lots of money to waste I've got the luxury lifestyle but I aint got no taste nothing going on nothing going on I've got a whole lot of nothing nothing going on I know all the right people, I've got the perfect smile I've got the worlds best timing, but I ain't got no style I've got a great big mansion, I've got a beautiful wife I've got a black rolls royce, but I've got no life nothing going on nothing going on I've got a whole lot of nothing nothing going on nothing going on Nothing going right, nothing going wrong I've got a whole lot of nothing nothing going on nothing going on nothing going on I've got a whole lot of nothing nothing going on I've got a personal trainer, I ride a limousine I've got a big bank account, but I ain't got no dreams I've got a private plane, the best of everything I've got a lifestyle to live, but no message to sing nothing going on nothing going on I've got a whole lot of nothing nothing going on nothing going on Nothing going right, nothing going wrong I've got a whole lot of nothing nothing going on nothing going on nothing going on I've got a whole lot of nothing nothing going on nothing going on nothing going on 4. Are You Man Enough? Get a gun to protect yourself from someone else with a gun Being armed up to the teeth that means you don't have to run Better safe than being sorry,better alive than being dead Better him than me you say as you aim your gun at his head You live your life at gunpoint don't be scared be prepaired It's peace you say that you fight for but it's war you declare Take a life to save a life you call that living in peace? It takes more than a piece of metal for the peace to increase Are you man enough to hold a gun? Are you man enough to turn your back and run? Are you man enough to take a life? Are you man enough to make one? with your finger stuck on the trigger you're one hell of a man but you won't be much of a macho when the blood's on your hands if you live by the gun you'll die by the gun I promise you that and you ain't got a godamn thing if all you've got is a gat History repeats itself but still we don't pull the brakes What will it take for us to learn to learn from our own mistakes I'd rather die defending my own right to never bare arms Than live pretending a gun will keep me safe from bodily harm [Chorus] If sacrifice is the price for freedom then tell me what's the use killing someone to prove that killing is wrong still ain't no excuse how can you believe that death will make the suffering cease prepair to sacrifice your life once the bullets released [Chorus] 5. Confrontation You want confrontation without knowing what you're gonna hit you kick up shit in all directions but no one seems to benefit You waste your hate on decent people who don't deserve to feel your pain You keep on breaking your confidence down until you drive yourself insane You make accusations To justify your own abuse Instead of just directing your anger where it could come to some use You turn your back on bigger problems and let them go over your head and then you turn someone you know into your biggest threat Instead You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice all you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise cos' You want confrontation cos' You want confrontation What's your motivation when you start to yell and shout If you don't know when to be patient How can you learn to let it out? You can't react without all sense of logic That's like beating yourself with your fist tell me what you can accomplish If you can't even learn to resist You make accusations faster than you throw a dart if you don't where you should aim it how can you turn hate into art stay focused on the things that annoy or be caught in the same trap you set becos' no one will need to destroy you if you're chasing your own silhouette You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice all you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise cos' You want confrontation I'll give you confrontation cos' You want confrontation I'll give you confrontation You want confrontation, well that's what you're gonna get You want confrontation, You ain't seen nothing yet You want confrontation, what's the fucking use You want confrontation, have you got a good excuse You want confrontation, Is that the best that you can do You want confrontation, Tell me something new You want confrontation, Who's confronting who You want confrontation, Now I'm confronting you 6.

Don't Look At Me Why don't you want to talk to me does it feel easier to pass me by you read my face like I'm a fucking disgrace and you never look me in the eyes the truth is always easiest to ignore and that's why you walk the other way but is it really that hard for you to think of something comforting to say Don't look at me as If I'm different Don't look at me as If I wasn't there Don't look at me as If I'm no good Don't look at me as If you didn't care,as if I wasn't there! You walk a little faster like you're trying to say that you really haven't got the time and when I put my hand out for a coin or two you just pretend that you've gone blind It seems hard for you to show any compassion for me but it wouldn't hurt for you to try reality can be painfull but tell me have you ever wondered why? [Chorus] You like to keep a safe distance from me to make sure that we never meet and just in case I might be dangerous you quickly turn and walk across the street You're so scared of the sight that you see that you decide to never understand Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am [Chorus] 8. Simon Says You say destiny decided what was meant to be I say I decide myself what's too become of me Simon says there's not a chance we'll ever get along and none of us say anything but we both think he's wrong You say we can't choose the path of life we walk upon I say I already know which path I'm walking on Simon says to both of us we're not allowed to move And none of us say anything but we both disapprove Simon says Simon says Simon says Simon says Simon says You say we can't change the world if it can't change itself I say I can't change the world before I change myself Simon says we're not allowed to change the world we see And none of us say anything but we both disagree [Chorus] 9.

I Close My Eyes I close my eyes and hope that this is just another dream Reality can't really be as bad as it seems I hope for something better but I'm waiting for the worst And when I open up my eyes I see the bubble burst All my dreams are broken as the world is torn apart Was it really meant to be this way right from the start If this is all we live for then I wish that I was dead Just so I could stop these thoughts from going through my head I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes again and wish that everything was fine Even though I know that I'm just wasting precious time I'm loosing my direction life is driving me insane The more things keep on changing the more they stay the same So please somebody catch me before I hit the ground I just can't understand what makes this crazy world go round The more I look around me the less I seem to know If this is all there is then I don't know where I can go I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes and wish that I could turn back time I close my eyes and wish that I could press rewind I close my eyes and wish that I could change my mind I close my eyes and wish that everything was fine I close my eyes one final time to make my vision clear The more I try the more my vision seem to dissappear The world keeps turning around as I turn my inside out I'm doing all I can to understand what life's about But everywhere I seem to look the answer isn't there Nobody's asking questions cos' nobody seems to care There has to be some sort of meaning and a reason to exist If this is all there is there must be something that I missed I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes I close my eyes and wish that I could turn back time I close my eyes and wish that I could press rewind I close my eyes and wish that I could change my mind I close my eyes and wish that everything was fine 11. Fool In Paradise They say that the toes that you step on while you're on your way up may be the same ones that you kiss going down Whatever it takes is what you're willing to do but what goes around will come back around There may be room at the top with the cream of the crop but you better be prepared for the hunt becos' the ones you see now at the back of the line where up front, so tell me, are you prepared to make the sacrifice are you strong enough to live your life..like a fool in paradise The things that you say while you're the star of the show will be remembered when your legacy fades so think what to say before you say what you think or learn to live with the mistakes that you've made The grass is always greener on the other side that's because it's not the side that you're on and all the friends you had when you were number one they're all gone [Chorus] Like a fool in paradise.......I'm a fool in paradise 12. Revenge You know I never believed you were for real I don't appreciate you or understand how you feel everytime no matter what I might find you give me a feeling that It ain't mine I don't believe in wasting time and you give me a sign that you're out of your mind It's frustrating not knowing the score but when you walk across the room towards the door,I'm sure You ain't ever gonna walk my way Cos' I know that you've never liked me anyway,so don't stay I wouldn't notice cos' I't ain't no loss all you ever did was cheat on me and double cross I won't be satisfied until you're gone but I still want to know what is going on You know that I've tried but I'm losing my hope I can't cope cos' you're tripping and you're slipping like a soap on a rope I won't break I won't bend I'll avenge I'll get you in the end The sooner you go the better,goodbye I won't miss you and I think you know why, You were never really much of a giver You took alot away from me but I was always a forgiver and forgetter But now I know better so I'm leaving you hanging and you won't be forgiven till I know that you're not living,anymore I'm gonna get you like a fly on the wall I'm gonna pull off your wings and watch you crawl then I'm gonna crush your balls You better believe that I'm gonna make you small I gotta get whatever I want I want it all and I want it up front,here we go I'm willing to bet'cha that I'm going to get'cha and you're gonna regret that you ever even met me,I know [Chorus] All I can think about is getting revenge and that'll be the day all my misery ends but until I choose to make me move I wan't you to think that you've got nothing to lose but I promise you you'll pay your dues the one place I wouldn't want to be is in shoes What can I say I'm gonna make you pay I'm gonna make you wish you never got in my way get you back for all the wrong you did for everything you put me through when I was a kid I'm gonna neglect you and disrespect you and then I'll reject you when you least expect me to and no matter what you do you're screwed You'll get your rights rejected and they won't be re-newed I'm gonna throw the first stone this time hitting you hard when you're off gaurd and the revenge is mine [Chorus] 13. Vienna [Originally performed by Ultravox] [From the album Vienna. Single released 17th January 1981.] We walked in the cold air Freezing breath on a window pane Lying and waiting A man in the dark in a picture frame So mystic and soulful A voice reaching out in a piercing cry It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings The rhythm is calling Alone in the night as the daylight brings A cool empty silence The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky It fades to the distance The image has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna This means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna

Zeros & Heroes You've got a full time job, with a minimal pay you do all of the work, but you don't get no say You never raise your voice, or try to run the show you always get there first, you're always last to go You always take your share, no more no less & when you've had your turn, there's always something left for whoever's next, behind you in the line when there's work to do, you always spare some time you work your hands to the bone, but you don't complain you never push up front, just for your personal gain This goes out to all the zeros, to my personal heros all the losers & zeros, you're my personal heroes, this goes out to all the zeros You never do no wrong, you never hurt no one You always tell yourself, the best is yet to come No matter how things look, How bad it all may seem You always stand your ground, and live by your means you work your hands to the bone, but you don't complain you never push up front, just for your personal gain [Chorus] We're all heros, we're all zeros....... [Chorus] 2. Recipe For Hate first of all I make sure I've got the right ingredients before I heat up the pan I take a little bit of bitterness to grease it up & keep everything close at hand then I add a few ounces of fresh frustration and half a cup of attitude A rush of adrenaline to spice things up & then half a spoon of bad mood one bottle of my sweat one bottle of tears, a few drops of my own blood it all blends together like a cat and dog and the result is as clear as mud I pick the worst situation out of the bunch & throw it right into the mix & last but not least I add a little bit of spit, just a few little nasty cliques That's my recipe for hate I turn up the heat to 400 degrees and go to work on the attitude I shake it all up in a provocative way to make sure it comes out rude Then I grind down the frustration hard so that all of the scents can blend I pour the sweat on top & then the tears to make sure that I don't make friends when the mood is wrong, everything is right, I can add the adrenaline but I've got to be careful with the dose I use, the effect shouldn't wear to thin the blood comes last cos' it always has a tendancy to cool and coagulate so I calculate and make no mistakes, it's so fresh that it still pulsates That's my recipe for hate...... When the meal is done you get a spoiled appetite & a dish full of disagree some ignorance on the side, a plate full of hate, served with a fistful of me 3. When Everything Crumbles It all happened right in front of my eyes it took me one second and then I realized What can I do, at which end do I start Do I follow my brain or just go with my heart what can I say without making it worse should I wait and watch or should I go head first? what do we do when sanity crumbles How do we handle the threat How do we act when dignity stumbles How do we live with regret No time to think, either I act or I walk should I go inbetween or just try to talk The longer I wait the worse everything gets and the verbal abuse turns into fysical threats [Chorus x 2] It all happened right in front of my eyes it took me one second and then I realized if I don't react, next time it might be me What can I do, at which end do I start Do I follow my brain or just go with my heart should I walk on by and pretend that I didn't see? [Chorus] 4. 15 Minutes Of Fame Any way the wind seems to blow is where you always end up turning your nose, well I suppose you wanna go where the incrowd goes & know everything the in crowd knows, saying everything right,you keep you image tight with everyone you meet and greet but the truth of it all is that it's easy to fall if you can't stand on your own fucking feet You're so busy kissing everyone's ass you haven't noticed that your nose is brown, well you're the clown of the town but you think you're going up well I can promise you you're going down, so stop wasting your time becos you're way out of line, it's all imaginary fame, you're not wearing a crown & the only place you'll ever be famous in is in your own brain fifteen minutes of being famous A whole lifetime of being aimless fifteen minutes of being famous You're on your way to fame A whole lifetime of being aimless you've made yourself a name Someone always has to lose his seat so that somebody else can win, and I really don't think that you're smart enough to understand which seat you're in, you can't win If you're not strong enough to stand for something cos' someone else will stand on you, no matter what you do all you're ever gonna be is just another ass that they can screw fifteen minutes of being famous You're on your way to fame A whole lifetime of being aimless you've made yourself a name fifteen minutes of being famous the spotlight is aimed at you A whole lifetime of being aimless and then it's somebody new You suck celebrity cock so you can make it to the top you co-operate what ever the vice, but when you reach the top all you can do is drop and that's when you start paying the price, it's paradise when you go from rags to wearing riches suddenly everyone is your friend, but the money only talks while your legacy walks and then you're back to wearing rags again. [Chorus] 5. World Domination I've been scared to be heard and I've feared that my words would appear in a place that was weird and absurd, while my face is replaced with a picture of me, where you see all the faults of the fake imagery, In the great industry I've been made by the trade while I make my mistakes in this great masquerade the parade is all phony and they're laughing at me, when they see how I deal with my own misery history is repeated and my brain is deleted but I'll stay in my seat up until I'm defeated the beat may be distant but I still hear the click and I'll kick up a storm until I make myself sick and when I loose the plot and they tighten the knot then I'll take what I can, when I can while I'm hot I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've got I'll give it my best shot, if you like it or not I want just World domination Give me world domination [x 2] It's been more than a year of ignoring my fear cos I've cleared out my thoughts until they disappeared I still hear the signals and I see all the signs they've all been assigned to the back of my mind and I find that in time all my doubts are outshined by a new kind of faith that I place in my shrine I refuse to resign or give in to my wims so I follow the line for as long as my limbs choose to carry my weight and my heart still pulsates the stakes may be high but I can't hesitate I'll do whatever it takes to break out of this mould and to shake off the demons and whatever upholds me from being the best I can possibly be the most meanest and leanest and dopest MC I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've got I'll give it my best shot, if you like it or not I want just World domination Give me world domination [x 2] You can all hate me but you can't duplicate me cos' I've been copywrited and no one can break me I'll shake up your rumours with humour that's lethal til' you understand that you can't be my equal 'there won't be no sequel for as long as I'm standing it's totally wrong it's a misunderstanding or a misunderstatment do you need a translation killing you with my mouth is my main occupation I've figured out the plot, I'll give it what I've got I'll give it my best shot, cos' I'm right on spot I want just World domination Give me world domination [x 2] 6. Bitch What the hell is wrong with you have you lost your mind you know we never go out this late You're making me look stupid and now I'm feeling mad it must have been something you ate I used to love you but now I'm not so sure There's something about your whole attitude I've got this feeling eatin' straight through my brain all you ever think about is food But you're still my bitch Everytime we go out for a walk in the park you're always barking up the wrong tree Now you just want attention from the opposite sex I know that you're just using me Sometimes when you get angry you show me your teeth but I know your bark is worse than your bite and then when you get hungry it's a whole different deal you act like everything is alright But you're still my bitch You always try to play those tricks with my mind but bitch I know a trick or two for everytime you try to make me loosen your leash you know I'll have to punish you You look at me and throw yourself at me feet hoping I might pat you on the back but I'm not gonna go there, I won't fall for that not until you cut me some slack But you're still my bitch 7. Four Letter Word I thought I knew you, it only goes to show that I was wrong, so wrong I see right through you, and everything we used to have is gone, it's all gone You said you loved me, but did you mean a word of what you said, when you said you're thinking of me, I'm sure that someone else was in your bed, getting head I'll tell you what, love is just a four letter word like it or not, love is just a four letter word You say it's over and treat me like you don't know who I am, who I am I hope you know girl, that you've turned me into a broken man, yes I am and then you tell me, tell me that you've found somebody new, well good for you but do you really, think I care about the things you do , fuck both of you I'll tell you what, love is just a four letter word like it or not, love is just a four letter word So now you've left me, I bet that you could hardly even wait I used to love you, now you're just the girl I love to hate All I can say is, I wish I'd listened to my own advice I learned the hard way, that you we're cold as ice so thanx alot, love is just a four letter word like it or not, love is just a four letter word 8. Money Power Glory The money, the power, the glory It's the survival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest When the shit hits the fan then we'll see who's leanest, the quickest We'll witness the vultures when they begin the fighting & the feasting there's a piece of a beast in us all that we're afraid of just releasing there's no rhyme or reason when our instincts are awoken the borders are broken, suddenly the truth is spoken Survival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest We're all in it for THE MONEY THE POWER, THE POWER THE GLORY, THE GLORY THE FAME, IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY Break all of the rules neccessary to win the competition Fake your place in the ratrace and then try to take the pole position the mission is simply to make sure you that you get all your chances So make no mistakes and make sure that nobody else advances make your way to the top by any means necessary and carry on until your enemies are dead & buried the greed is what feeds us every time we plant the seed it's the root of all the evil but we take what we need Survival of the fittest, the toughest, the meanest the slickest [Chorus] We're all looking for the power, the money & the glory and the story never stops we like to kill for territory It's better safe than sorry, watch your back this is a war A sneak attack, a payback, they've got a foot in the door So be sure to be secure or be sure to draw blood we're all down in the dirt dragging our names through the mud what we won't do for love, we do for money and fame in this game the main aim is to make yourself a name for..... [Chorus] 9. Kick It You take what you can, without asking first and then you drink what's left, to quench your own thirst You always fill your plate with more than you can eat and then you make sure, that you get the best seat I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES BUT YOU STILL WON'T LISTEN I'VE GIVEN YOU A THOUSAND CHANCES BUT YOU STILL WON'T LEARN AND I'VE SEEN A THOUSAND SIGNS THAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSIN' I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES WAIT UNTIL YOUR TURN You always help yourself, to what you can find but sharing what there is, it doesn't cross your mind you find a place in the sun and wait until you're served to make sure that you get, more than you deserve [Chorus] Stop breathing my air, you're all over my face Just give me some room, stop stealing my space Take one step back and then one step more until' you reach the door... [Chorus] 10. Live Like A Man I was raised in the name of the constitution I believe in Jesus Christ but not in evolution for my family and country I would go to war to serve and protect us from the evil that infects us to the core, that's what I'm fighting for You've got to live like a man or die like a coward live like a coward or die like a man x 2 My duty to serve my god and my nation will guide me on my way to salvataion I've got my god given right to defend my freedom better safe than sorry is the slogan when I beat them to secure, what I'm fighting for [Chorus] if maintaining the peace means fighting the beast then I'm surely prepared to die because a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and I know that god's on my side [Chorus] 11. Step Aside who made you the hero, who made you the judge, who gave you the right decide what makes you think that you can't do wrong, why should the whole world step aside You can't come and tell me that you're free from sin cos' that would be telling a lie It's not without reason that accidents happen but still you don't ask yourself why it takes a hijacking then you go attacking your enemies without any proof cos' you like to think the world spins around you but that's just so far from the truth step down from your throne, it's time you woke up before it blows up in your face No man is an island, so stop breeding violence it's neither the time or the place just face up to the fact that you get what you give so expect a payback in return no one wants to listen to all your complaining your problems are not our concern your history haunts you like a knife in the back, your dreams have all crumbled to dust according to you you're a god fearing man but who's version of god should I trust Everyone is hurting so don't make it seem as if the only one bleeding is you cos' you got off easy in comparisation to the pain that you've put others through but still you paint up a picture as if you're the victim of some kind of terrible plot but that isn't true because everyone knows that you fired the first lethal shot and still you have the guts to claim to the world that you're a peace loving country & race but you don't show compassion all I see is a killer, it's written all over your face 12. Blame Don't give me that crap cos' I'm not all ears, I won't fall for your cries or your crocodile tears Your stupid statements or your lousy lies, Cos' I can see it was you from the look in your eyes From the way that you move to the things you say, It doesn't matter what you do you give yourself away but you refuse to admit you don't want to be wrong, So you say that it was me when you know that it was you all along You can blame who you want but you can't blame me You can blame who you want but you can't blame me You can say what you want but you can't phase me You can blame who you want but you can't blame me Everytime you show up you always bring bad news and you try to make it seem as if I stand accused without the evidence god knows who's right So if you don't know what you're talking about then keep your lips sealed tight [Chorus] I've had enough of this shit I think I'm through with you I've heard enough of your lies to know that they're not true So why don't you crawl back to where you once came from Cos' this time I know I'm right and that means you're wrong [Chorus] 13. Are You Talking To Me [Bonus track] Are you talking to me, I didn't hear what you said Was that a word in your mouth, was that a thought in your head Are you moving your lips, I can't hear any words have you got something to say, was that a noise I heard I still can't hear your voice, do you think I'm all ears could you talk a little louder, cos' I still can't hear Are you talking to me [x 3] There's no one else here you must be talking to me Don't raise your voice at me, do you think that I'm deaf there's no reason to scream, why don't you save your breathe I heard the first time round, it's fucking greek to me what comes out of your mouth, is like a piss in the sea [Chorus] You're just wasting my time, there's nothing good in you going from bad to worse, is the best you can do with your head up your ass, you're just a bad excuse you don't say what you mean, so what's the fucking use? [Chorus] 14. Where Are You Now [Bonus track] you do everything right for all the wrong reasons and you use all the tricks of the trade From the tip of your toes to the tip of your tongue you've carefully planned your crusade It's all surface no substance, all payed in advance but you're the one paying the price and the only thing left will be a hole in your pocket when everyone else gets their slice/has been given their slice where are you now, what have you done what have you got left, what have you become you had the world in your hands but it slipped through your fingers and now look at what you've become The masterplan wasn't yours you were just the excuse To squeeze out some juice from the fruit and nobody cares about your personal life all you are is the latest recruit the sweet smell of success has a foul aftertaste and when you've lost your place in the sun what you won't do for you love you just do for money so you'd best take the money you can and then run where are you now, what have you done you had the world in your hands but it slipped through your fingers and now look at what you've become where are you now, what have you done what have you got left, what have you become there are no rules in the book that apply to the game the truth comes like a slap in the face And the next runner up gets a moment to shine in the spotlight once you've lost your place keep on wearing that suit for as long as it fits and pretend that it's not wearing you and while your busy being somebody you're not you're much better off not even having a clue 15. Point Of No Return i've got my back against the wall, my face against your fist my brain confronts my feelings as my stomache starts to twist adrenaline is pumping and my head is one big mess as i try to come to terms with my own anger and distress that's when the first blow hits me and my head goes flying back it bangs against the concrete and i hear when my bones crack i raise my hands to gaurd my face cos' i'm too scared to run i try to scream out in despair and that's when next blow comes the second time you hit me, the pain just disappears and all i feel is my frustration as my motivation clears there's no way i'm gonna let you bring me down without a fight and so i raise my arms up and i clench my fingers tight the first time that i hit you your eyes look so suprised you didn't think i had it in me, you just stand there paralyzed i'm not gonna be your victim and it's time for you to learn and so i turn my feelings off and then i'm at the point of no return i know that there's no turning back from here, there aren't any bridges left to burn so instead i do the opposite of everything i've ever learned, i'm at the point of no return the second time i hit you, i know your going down i can see your body shaking as you fall towards the ground you try to keep your balance and you try to stand up straight but when the blood runs down your face you know that it's too late you know i'm gonna hit you with one third and final blow and i don't even fucking care if i can sink this low cos' there isn't any logic when the anger starts to burn and with your back against the wall, you stand there at the point of no return 16.

The Faggot In You Is it the faggot in you that's doing the talking, why can't you accept what you see Could it be you're afraid that you're not quite as straight as you've been making yourself out to be Cos' you talk about it like it's a disease In desperate need of a fast remedy You keep on telling us all how you feel so damn sorry For their pain and all their agony The male that's inside of you is rejecting the female inside of you, find the faggot in you Tell me one thing why can't you realize It's not something a person can plan It's not like you wake up and get out of bed And decide to fall in love with a man It's either there or it's not and there's no right or wrong And there's no big decision to make Cos' we are what we are and we feel what we feel And that's something you'll just have to take [Chorus] If you're so sure and you feel secure About yourself and your reality Then why do you need to reject and refuse Where other people stand sexually You've got a problem if you have a problem With seeing two people embrace Cos' regardless of sex race colour or creed It's something you'll just have to face [Chorus] If you're so certain that you can't fall in love With a man then what is there to fear It could well be that the truth of the matter Is in fact that you're actually queer 2.

[Chorus] Every word that I've said has been straight from my heart & ya know that's true Every road that I've walked down somehow always leads me right back to you If push comes to shove and I'm forced to fight there's nothing that I won't do Come sunshine come rain, come pleasure come pain, half of me belongs to you And I depend on you [Chorus] 5. Breakout (Embrace The Child...) Embrace the child in you don't hesitate to let him shine It takes a laugh or two go with your heart and free your mind Don't try to be adult it doesn't lead to anywhere It's no one else's fault your own emotions make you scared Just face the fool in you and let that sucker slip on out Don't try to play it cool that's not what life should be about It only takes a smile and suddenly you've dropped your guard And made another friend it doesn't have to be so hard Breakout, embrace the child inside you Take off that mask and show your face Breakout and face the world around you Wake up and cut straight to the chase You're chasing waterfalls instead of racing up the stream Just make the most of life and live out all your wildest dreams Just let the fuckers out let go of everything you've got Instead of wasting time by being someone that you're not You're place is here and now don't let nobody grind you down You can't be ridiculed don't be afraid to be a clown Let go of all your pride and find your way down to the core A stuck up attitude turns you into a crashing bore [Chorus] 6. Right To Rape What kind of world is this that we're living in when a man accused guilty of rape Is still freed from the charges miraculously if he confesses that he's made a mistake Is a woman supposed to just spread both her legs and let the sexual ritual proceed If she doesn't say no do you have her permission to treat her any which way you please Does the fact that she's wasted somehow make it accepted That she can't tell what's right from what's wrong Are the clothes that she's wearing an obvious signal That the rape is allowed to go on You take it for granted cos' you've got the advantage It's a logic that I find hard to follow It still doesn't mean that the decision is yours And I find your excuse hard to swallow He wins the game, & she gets all the blame (you clear your name?) If a woman raped a man, would the verdict be the same Tell me what were you thinking, if you even were When you forced her to go all the way Did you feel like a big man when you were on top of her Did you make that bitch pay You're not a man, you're the scum of the earth You had the whole thing planned from the start & you've got the guts to say you feel like a victim there's not a soft spot in your heart [Chorus] you make it seem as if she should have seen it coming as if that was a valid excuse but whatever you say you still know what you've done and NOTHING justifies the abuse It takes two too tango so don't you try and tell us That you were sure that you heard her say yes We don't believe you it's your cock doing the talking So why don't you just fucking confess 7. What We've Got Is What You're Getting We fake it all & make it real We sign the line and break the deal We take it all and give it back We talk of peace and then attack Start a war and then retreat Win the game and then get beat Break on out and then get stuck We keep on fucking it all up Like it, hate it, leave it, take it x4 What we've got is what you're getting We break it down and build it up We pick a fight and then make up We step aside and block the way Buy you out and make you pay We love you and we break your heart Fix it and pull it apart Speed it up and slow it down We're just a bunch of fucking clowns [Chorus] We make a hit and then we run We shake your hand and pull a gun We break the charts and then break up We spill it out and fill the cup We close the door and let you in We're guilty and we're free from sin We're in the game but out of luck But we don't really give a fuck [Chorus] 8. Sick Of Myself I'm good for nothing, I'm a fucking bad excuse The truth is that I just can't be of any use So show me where the noose is and watch me when I die I've made so many knots that I don't know how to untie I've tried every angle, tried to handle my emotions I'm strangeling myself up to the point of self implosion I'm drowning in an ocean full of thought so self abusive It's a downward spiral, it's the hate that hate produces I make myself, so sick of myself x3 I hate myself I'm stuck in a corner this is my own private casket Four walls around me I feel like a sitting target I can't find the exit without asking for directions But I can't find it in me, to ask you any questions I don't like suggestions and I hate to take advice Cos' that's a sign of weakness, I can't make that sacrifice The vice is that I'm selfish but I still need recognition I fear and loathe myself when I'm forced into submission I make myself, so sick of myself x3 I hate myself All the hate I hide in me is constantly misguiding me And all my mixed emotions slowly building up inside of me It's like an evil guide in me is breaking down the pride in me I don't know what's right from wrong my feelings are dividing me All the hate I hide in me Is building up inside of me And breaking down the pride in me It's like something has died in me 9. Hypocrite It's funny how my title puts me in a position Where I'm allowed to say I represent the opposition Like I'm on a mission to overthrow the government As if my ambition was to try and seem intelligent I'm not even competent enough to win an argument Or ignorant enough to be a little disobedient But I still believe that what I say can make a difference The problem is I can't hear what I'm sung from a distance No matter what I say, no matter what I do No matter what I think, I'm not as good as you I'm such a hypocrite, I'm so full of it I'm such a hypocrite, I need another hit It's funny how I come across as some kind of a teacher Considering I never even liked my fucking teachers Now it's reached the point where all the expectations Are building up a barrier creating limitations While you're debating if I've got the right to an opinion Well silly me I thought I was allowed to be civilian All I ever did was say exactly what I'm feeling Without filtering my thoughts to make myself appealing [Chorus] 10. Without A Case Why do I pay you to insult me and make me feel like shit I can't believe I've worked this hard to let you benefit For every slice that I get, you get two slices more You've become my pimp and I've become your little whore It goes around in circles, the torture never stops You get all the earnings and all I get is props Wipe that smile from off your face You're in court without a case, and you'll get nothing I do all the dirty work and you make all your plans You pull my strings and I play right into your hands What's wrong with this picture, someone's playing tricks How come I always end up with the short end of the stick It really makes me question why I go with your advice You make me hate the job that used to be my life [Chorus] I end up giving more, but still receiving less I do all the cleaning up and you make all the mess Your enemies are useless if you don't have any friends And all your great connections are just people you offend I'm sick of being ass fucked, god knows how much you owe You took more than what was yours but you can't steal my show [Chorus] 11. God Is Dead There's no god for you to worship, no master to obey There's not a soul that you can blame for all the stupid things you say There's nowhere you can turn yo, no words to justify Cos' no currency is valid for the faith you want to buy No more excuses, no need for blind belief There's no one to accuse to break yourself a bigger piece No books to follow, no quotes to twist around There'll be no more bending over just to reach for higher ground GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A MONSTER UNDER YOUR BED GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A GHOST UNDER YOUR BED There's no need for false confessions, no more feeling guilt No powerlords to kneel before, no crosses being built There are no rules for you too live by, no other cheek to turn Stop begging for forgiveness, there's no lesson you must learn No future conflicts no opinions that collide There's not a trace of blood on your hands you don't have to choose a side No pointless killing and no more feeling shame No sacrifices being made in someone else's name [Chorus] It's all make believe it's all conceived in your own dreams You're painting pictures of imaginary scenes It seems like you're looking for some kind of confirmation But you're in desperate need of a different revelation [Chorus]

Carnivore 12. Dying To Know 13. Picture Perfect Skies 1. The Price We Pay things never seem to go according to plan so we always end up compromising we're not smart enough to have a plan B at hand so we always end up improvising it's killing us to settle with the cards we get when we know there's much more at stake but giving in to pressure is the safest bet and it's also our biggest mistake that's the price we pay [x8] we never asked to be put into this position we never had high demands we never claimed to be on some kind of mission like we had some kind of master plan it's not as if we know exactly what we came for so we settle for what comes our way we're always unprepared for the final encore what the fuck are we supposed to say that's the price we pay [x8] every rule we break every move we fake that's the price we pay [x3] 2. Life Will Kill You you can't escape life just because you stopped living but you're dead the same second you decide to just give in and given the choice between your own life and death i suggest that you cherish the time you have left cos time waits for no one and we're all growing older i've found myself looking more over my shoulder i like to say fuck it i could be dead tomorrow and deal with the stress the pain and the sorrow life will kill you in the end we're all gonna die life will kill you it doesn't matter how hard you try life will kill you even if you don't give a damn what part of your own death that you don't understand death comes in all sizes all shapes and all colours but we like to believe that it only happens to others the closer we get we try to avoid it we've tampered with nature so much we've destroyed it it slips through our fingers the more we live what the fuck are we thinking acting like we control it it's a cold fact of life but we should try to be brave how brave can you be with one foot in the grave life will kill you in the end we're all gonna die life will kill you it doesn't matter who hard you try life will kill you even if you don't give a damn what part of your own death that you don't understand life will kill you [x5] it's all a part of the great big plan life will kill you even if you're in a rock and roll band life will kill you so you might as well enjoy each breath and now you're three minutes closer to death 3. Prisoners It's all in your head the thoughts you have that build your world illusion, the faith you need so you can proceed and build a sane solution is it the truth, is there any proof to back up the things you believe in, or is it a dream to make it seem like a goal that you're achieving [Chorus:] We are the prisoners, of the system we create We are the prisoners, stuck inside the space we made to escape What can you do to make it through the mindtricks you're producing learn to live with the faith you lack, the hope that you're reducing, you can be cruel and ridicule the current situation, but what will it take for you to break the self humiliation? [Chorus:] We are the prisoners, of the system we create We are the prisoners, stuck inside the space we made to escape We're stuck in a rut, we keep on mixing things up and we can't tell what's fiction from fact, the more we all try to live up to the illusion the more we all fall through the cracks. [Chorus:] We are the prisoners, of the system we create We are the prisoners, stuck inside the space we made to escape 4. Final Stand I see the truth in the eyes of the sky And since I was a baby I've been destined to die, This life it has no meaning, I greet death like a friend, I'm in a state of worship, I've got a faith I must defend, My ticket to the heavenly, My salvation from Hell, My gateway to eternity, My escape from this insanity. [Chorus:] My death will be my final stand, my death will be my sacrifice my death will be my last command And be my guide to paradise My grave is open, I've said my good-byes, My path has been chosen, My faith can't be denied, A better life awaits me if I make my sacrifice, My sins will be forgiven when I reach my paradise, My ticket to the heavenly, My salvation from Hell, My gateway to eternity, My escape from this insanity [Chorus 2x] 5. None The Wiser you want a piece of the cake it's not yours for the taking, you make a hen out of a feather with the proof that you're faking, you play your cards like you're sitting on all of the aces, but you don't even know what a real poker face is you take what you can get from what's left on the table, you make facts out of fiction based on rumours and fables, you're waiting for a chance to get a share of what they created, you want a foot in the door when history's in the making you're chasing waterfalls to make your way upstream, you're eating sleeping pills to reach your highest dreams, your mediocracy takes you to new extremes, you're two times bitter but you're none the wiser you never participate in the collective agreements, but take credit where you can for other peoples achievements, then you break down and cry when all your great expectations, are pulled from under your feet and turn into desperation you're chasing waterfalls to make your way upstream, you're eating sleeping pills to reach your highest dreams, your mediocracy takes you to new extremes, you're two times bitter but you're none the wiser where can you go, what can you say, who can you turn to, to get it into your head ? 6. Little Baby You're my little baby, there's nothing to be scared of, I promise you'll be safe right here with me, You don't have to cry now, just keep a little secret, You'll never know where daddy hides the keys. just do what I tell you if you don't try to fight it then I promise you that it won't hurt. You know you can trust me, so move a little closer and let me put my hand under your skirt. This house is not a happy home [4x] I just wanna touch you sneak on down beside you and feel the softness of your perfect skin. Don't feel bad about it, I promise you it's normal, 'cause loving you could never be a sin. Don't you talk about it 'cause no one will beleive you, they'll say it's just one of your bad dreams. and mummy isn't home now, there is noone to disturb us, so nobody will know where daddy's been This house is not a happy home [8x] 7.

Falling I can't say I've been saved after all of my sessions Despite having dealt with my faults and depressions A lesson's been learned though it taught me to listen To all of the thoughts I've been busy dismissin' I'm still dealing with feelings of under achieving And I've always had issues when it comes to believing They say time is healing you forgive and forget But it just doesn't feel like I've gotten there yet I'm creeping, I'm crawling I'm screaming, I'm calling I'm climbing the walls but I'm falling I've made mistakes and I've learned a few lessons And I've come to terms with a few strange obsessions Cos we all have our issues that we need to take care of The less appropriate sides we're not always aware of I crawl back in my shell each time I take a beating Think positive thoughts is what I keep on repeating I'm learning to deal with the cards I've been given Cos my confidence fails me the further I'm driven I'm creeping, I'm crawling I'm screaming, I'm calling I'm climbing the walls but I'm falling 11. Carnivore Give me a reason i´ll give you good advice Consider all the options and think it over twice the perfect execution has got to be well planned get yourself the right tools and wash those dirty hands fast and painless sharp and stainless creatures always have to die fast and painless hard and shameless no remorse make sure they fry carnivore until i die don't think it's over once the work is done throw away the skin and bones and wipe away the crumbs invite you're friends lay it up and hope that they can't tell if no one smells the difference you know that it's done well fast and painless sharp and stainless creatures always have to die fast and painless hard and shameless no remorse make sure they fry fast and plainless sharp and stainless creatures always have to die carnivore until i die don't forget to watch the clock that's a big mistake the more severe the damage is the less you can escape regrets are fucking pointless once it's overdone the last advice i give you is don't tell anyone fast and painless sharp and stainless creatures always have to die fast and painless hard and shameless no remorse make sure they fry fast and painless sharp and stainless creatures always have to die fast and painless hard and shameless no remorse make sure they fry creatures always have to die 12. Dying To Know [Bonus Track] my own death becomes me i'm a victim of my device i haven't got enough clarity to dwell upon the afterlife the need to have the patience and i don't wanna wait in vain so i set up for the simple logic that only my bones remain i'm not dying to know and you're not living to tell me i'm not dying to know and we're not gonna find out until it's time to go i can't rely on a theory so i might as well expect the worst which is just like questioning which of the chicken or the egg came first it doesn't make an difference and i'll be dead before i find out for that reason i can't give you the benefit of the doubt i'm not dying to know and you're not living to tell me [x2] i'm not dying to know and we're not gonna find out until it's time to go if your life's that precious then what's the fuss about i don't care what's in store for me so you can count me out i'm not dying to know and you're not living to tell me [x2] i'm not dying to know and we're not gonna find out until it's time to go 13. Picture Perfect Skies [Bonus Track] if you're looking for some kind of answer if you're searching for some kind of clue if you're looking for some kind of guidance well there's nothing i can do for you you can draw your own conclusions that's the way you wanna draw the line i was hoping that you could come up with your own solutions that would be just as good as mine ask me no questions i won't tell you lies i can't paint picture perfect skies ask me no questions and i won't tell you lies i can't paint picture perfect skies if you're waiting for my final verdict and you're working on the masterplan but you seem to be heading in the wrong direction well i'm sorry but i'm not your man so you better make your own judgements based on everything you believe and i'm sure that you could come up with an resolution that will get you what you need ask me no questions i won't tell you lies i can't paint picture perfect skies ask me no questions and i won't tell you lies i can't paint picture perfect skies there's no happy ending there's no perfect life there's no given answer there's no good advice you win some and you lose some just learn to live with it just roll with all the punches and deal with your own shit ask me no questions i won't tell you lies i can't paint picture perfect skies ask me no questions and i won't tell you lies i can't paint picture perfect skies
