DOWN AND OUT lp/cd/mc

It won´t go away

Politicians are striving for a doublepay, when a poor old worker may not make it through the day, the more useless you are, the more money you make, behind closed doors, they seal your fate, it´s a white-male dominated world, the supreme being, you stole every culture and then call it your own, you sold us an illusion that this is what we want, this is how it goes in a civilized world, I´m not a criminal, but I´d steal from the rich and give it to the poor

can´t close my eyes and shut off my mind, can´t close my eyes and pretend that I´m blind, can´t close my eyes, but sometimes I wish that I could, but it´s not gonna make it go away

I´d never trust a thing you´re telling me, I´ve seen so much evidence that you´re full of shit, the mother earth rape, the nuclear disaster, light it all a blaze and it all goes down a little faster, I can´t be surprised if people go insane, it´s just a sane reaction in this world full of hate, I never wanted to be a citizen, if it means being what you represent, I´m not a criminal, but I´d steal from the rich and give it to the poor

can´t close my eyes and shut off my mind, can´t close my eyes and pretend that I´m blind, can´t close my eyes but sometimes I wish that I could, but it won´t make it go away

Payback time

We´ve got a new disease, where did it come from?, more&more signs of extinction, can´t drink the water, can´t breath the air, earthquakes and floods, let them fucking sink

This is a wake-up call, which no one seems to hear, It´s time to face the consequence of our greed, this is the payback time for the humanrace, now pick the fruits of progress

I never chose to be a part of this, but we all suffer the same, what goes around, it´s gonna come around, It´s coming with a vengeance, so say goodbye

In our superiority, we are so weak, It´s power is too strong for us to beat, we´ve got a timebomb we can´t defuse, If you fuck with the law of nature, it´s gonna fuck with you

No end in sight

when you seek refuge, when you seek home, there´s no one there to help you and you feel all alone in this world where they try to control everything you wanna do, a kid who was rejected will never be ejected, ´cause now he´s respected for what he wants to be, now he´s proud to belong, being part of something that´s real

no end in sight, there´s no end in sight

we gotta redefine the word unity, ´cause what´s the fucking use with a divided scene, we got too much in common to separate, stop fighting one another, there will always be bigots and "punk scientists", they´re here to remind us the way we´re supposed to live, the´re here to judge rather that give something that keeps us bound

no end in sight, there´s is no end in sight

new generation coming, kids with new ideas, bringing in their share too, this goes out to you, this is something real, this is something true, sticks us together like glue, there´ll be no end in sight, when all of us unite, we have all the keys to make it how we want it to be, an open mind to a different view

no end in sight, there´s no end in sight

The corner

I don´t want a future in a factory, I´d have a boring fucking life ahead of me, I don´t want a career, I´d end up in a rut, I just can´t relate, Is it all they got, Won´t waste my time for following suit like you, I´m too restless to be in that rat race with you, I ain´t looking for directions or answers, not a single fucking truth from you

I´m standing on the corner, which way to go, I´m standing on the corner and I´m all alone, I just go my own lonely way

Everybody´s telling me, you gotta make a choice or you end up in the gutter like all the lost boys, but what are you gonna go, when the only thing they offer is empty fucking pockets and a ball and chain, it´s your upper-class laws, no equality or justice, you outlawed freedom and individuality, in the quest of complete control, you might have fooled the most, but you can´t fool me

I´m standing on the corner, hey, what is true, I´m standing on the corner, I can see you through, I just go my own lonely way

I don´t need your values and hypocrisy, I don´t need your mental slavery, you got no respect for humanity, you got no sense of morality

Two-faced

I was out in the streets, I was down and out, I was out in the parks and stairways, passing out in the pubs, I was destined to fail, looking for something to get a hold of, then you showed up, came telling me what I was about, just showing off, not knowing nothing about respect

Two-faced, so fucking fake, two-faced, just dropdead

You used to tell me how fucked up I am, outlook on the world and distorted values, if I needed help, sure you were the first to turn your back on me, just ignore me, now you come along, start telling me we´re such good friends, you used to hate me so why did you stop, don´t pretend

Two-faced, so fucking lame, two-faced, just dropdead

just drop the act, ´cause you´re not my friend, we share nothing, got nothing in common, you weren´t there for me, just fucking let go, just fucking shut up, I´ve had with you

now you come along, start telling me we´re such good friends, you used to hate me, so why did you stop, don´t pretend

One of them

You want a riot, you want a revolution, you make a change and you´ll never give in, but as soon as you realised that now you´ve hit the bigtime, you took the money and forgot where you came from, "fuck the rich and their capital goal!", you say, but now you started working for the ones you hated, your waterered down crap to entertain the masses won´t make a difference, no one gives a fuck you´re saying

you sold your soul to the ones you hated, when did you forget who your enemy is, another story how rebellion faded, you got traded and now you´re one of them

money buys fame and money buys success, but the ones who hand it have got you on a rope, and when they realise that you´re not needed, you´re gonna fall as fast as you climbed up, this is an attitude, this is not just music, an underground web, that´s out of your reach, we don´t need your money or your filthy fucking contracts, bloodsucking managers, we can do it ourselves!

when did you forget who your enemy is? when did you forget what integrity is? you got bought and you got sold, you sold your soul to the ones you hated!

Daily supply (of vanity)

Is this a fucking doomsday or have we all lost our minds, people are running like starving hyenas, they all want their share of the luxury, a daily supply of vanity, mass comsumption´s like mass hysteria, it can´t just be the basic needs of an individual, corporations dethroned the government and the state, the world markets will control you now and the corporate scam will hit you like a stealth missile

this generation´s lost, to compete is their goal, mass comsumption´s like mass hysteria, generation´s lost, the blind leads the blind and the scientists have lost it, they are cloning me&you

Striving for approval, striving to be on top, you gather things around you, is it gonna make you whole, advertisers will tell you how to act cool, international and successful, all of these consumers are living a lie, they have all swallowed how freedom is defined, now you are free, you can choose what you buy, choose what to wear and to read, and the corporate scam, they got you like a stealth missile

they´re degenerated, they don´t know what to do unless someone tells them to, the´re degenerated, they don´t know what to do unless someone shows them how to get their daily suppy of vanity

Reality check

Up above in an ivory tower, he´s got the privilege, he´s got the power, born with a fortune, born with a servant, wiping off the sweat out of white man´s collar, down below in bombshelters and banks, shit for food and piss for drink, a tainted black skin, he´s waiting in silence, ´til the village is emptied by the white man´s law

It´s time for changing roles, forget all you were living for, They´re burning your house down, unveiling the truth, you´ll die, It´s time for changing roles, forget all you were living for, They´re coming to get you, you cannot run and hide, rearrange the li(f)e you lived

Artificial life on a golden plate, your feet´ve only touched the cement that leads to your cars and on to the mall, reality filtered through the TV-set, now go working 15 hours on a field with no pay and a gun points at your head, all your friends are killed by the government, don´t even crack a smile, ´cause your turn is next

Scarred

another night, another story how things will go wrong when you least expect it, I´m sick and tired of all these cages we always lock ourselves in, we gotta break them, before the sparks, all of them are gone

another night, another fight, another sign that we are running out of time

My lust to live started shaking, it seems that some things need some rearranging, I´ve been betrayed of the ones I trusted, I gotta fight my way through these clouds of lies and hatred

another night, another fight, another sign that we are running out of time

lost in confusion, the mirror casts despairing looks on me, piling up to an overload, can´t pretend that I care, burn the bridges I leave behind, all I got´s this blank stare, I gotta call it quits, ´cause my heart is no longer there

In the suburbs

your mouth is wide open, but your eyes are cold shut, you´re running on a dead-end street, your heart is on scabs, no one could tear it open, you´re running on a dead-end street, dysfunctional homes, building sites for more broken homes, dysfunctional homes, no light beyond the factory smoke, grab the bottle in the closet when you´re over the threshold, you´re running on a dead-end street, mommy´s in bruises and the kid´s already jailbound, you´re running on a dead-end street, hell in the suburbs, here they come the lost ones, there ain´t no light beyond the factory smoke, hell in the suburbs again

you struggled all your life to be an underpaid worker, you´re running on a dead-end street, you chose not to care, love is buried in disgrace

Wounds

A little did you know that it all could end up like this, an innocent game turned into a sick nightmare, you thought that the hand that touched you was a loving one, it´s anything but that, you didn´t understand that what happened that night left emptiness and wounds that can never be healed

you just broke something that was all too fragile, something that can never be fixed, an innocent child, a sick man´s mind, it left a hole that can never be filled, when you turned the lights out

a crack in the skull can always be fixed, what about a crack in self-respect and dignity, since that night you´ve been living in denial, it´s buried in silence, you don´t wanna believe it, let the truth come out, let the truth be heard, no one can do it but you, it´s sickness beyond grasp, can´t fucking understand, don´t know, do you deserve to live, made her life a living hell, those wounds will never heal, fuck you, don´t know how the fuck can you live with yourself

Recruits

Feed me a good proportion of your war propaganda and I follow you ´til I die, my father told me, it ain´t no lie, go now for god and country, kneel down and pledge allegiance, and I know my conscience´s clear, ´cause I do it for national security

We need you to protect us and the interests of our nation, interests of the government, the capital, the police and the priviledged, join the dehumanization, join the mass destruction, say would you die for your country?

They´ll tell you it´s the only solution, when it´s a fucking revolution, religion and war go hand in hand, an excuse to call it justified, we don´t need no social welfare, ´cause now we got chemical warfare, if we can´t be as one, it´s time for another genocide

wipe out the enemy, the ones like yourself, I say the real enemy are the ones you´re working for, people who don´t learn from the past are living in the past, and when it´s all over, tell me who has won, no one lives to tell it...

Fuel

I feel so frustrated, I feel like I´m dying, The world is a cold, lonely place, there´s no denying, I´ve been running so fast, let´s see how long long it´ll last, will I fall off the track and hell, if I do, I pick myself up again, It´d be easier to give up, just pick up the bottle and forget the struggle, but we got the strength in numbers, if we are one

Armed with my voice and fueled by my anger, It´s up to you, if you wanna win or lose now, just grab a hold of your hopes and dreams now, ´cause we´re all in this together!

I don´t give a fuck about what you think of me, but I gotta face it, I´m not alone here, it´s knowing your enemy, taking responsibility for your actions, The world has seen too much ignorance, indifference and greed, gotta give it a try, instead of sitting on your ass and wasting your life, you can point your rage at something more useful

Not from your world

A little boy is ready to go, grabs a gun and then goes to war, standing strong and proud with his uniform, he pays obeisance to the flag, a little does he know where he´s heading, sure doesn´t the one who was troublebound, he´s trying to make it all up by becoming a cop, it´s an escape for no matter the cost, the cost may be your life, the choice is yours, you´re paying the price, but the streets are burning tonight

I´m not from your world, I´m not the one

the lies are becoming stronger than the truth, no questions, no answers, just deny, we are giving the power to somebody else, no control in our own lives, the cities are building, they are covering it up, it won´t make the problems go away, shine on the outside, rot on the inside, turn it inside out, a kid´s had enough, grabs a shotgun and shoots his familys´ brains to the walls, the papers are cheering, they got a best-seller and economy is on the rise, I won´t your teacher, won´t be your preacher, won´t be a ruler or a boss, won´t be a killer under your oppressing machine, won´t be a man in a suit

I´m not from your world, I´m not the one, you can count me out, your world, count me out, my world, fuck the rest
