STAKEOUT
split 7"

One of them

You want a riot, you want a revolution, you make a stand and you'll never give in, but as soon as you realised that now youïve 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 watered 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 youïre one of them

Money buys fame and money buys success, The ones who hand it have got you on a rope and when they realise that youïre not needed, youïre gonna fall as fast as you climbed up, This is an attitude, this is not just music, (there's) an underground web that's out of your reach, We donït need your money or your filthy fucking contracts, bloodsucking managers, We can do it ourselves!

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 youïre one of them
When did you forget who your enemy is?, when did you forget what integrity is? You got bought, you got sold, you sold your soul to the ones you hated!

Open door

Overwhelmed by something, but I just can't figure out what it is, I'm looking for an exit, but I donït seem to find where it is, I'm trapped inside of this prison, a prison I created myself, I want out, but the chances seem weak

In this situation, no escape, no solution, Iïm longing for some action, but I can't move a muscle, Iïm looking for an open, but I just canït find it

I'm locked inside this cage and the key's been thrown away, There's something missing here and I need a chance of pace, Thereïs gotta be another fucking way here, I can't deal with this decay and confusion, I need a cure, has someone got the cure?

I've got a label on my forehead, I got stains which won't come off, Iïm a prisoner of my mind

By the time you're finished with your compulsory schools, don't expect them to stop making plans for you, They'll do anything there's to do to keep you off the dole, And if you don't like the opportunities they offer, theyïll make you work for no single penny or take a useless unemployment course, And if you raise your voice, "Hey, can I make the choice?!", Theyïre telling you to shut up, "This is the way it goes", 'cause we don't want a raise in unemployment rates

It might be going down in statistics, looks like weïre living in a welfare state, but it has no connection with the life of a working man

They're telling we're lazy, they're telling we're dumb, no direction or future, weïre the isolated ones, another wasted life in the eyes of a righteous man, and if I made a choice to start working for you, You'd get richer of me, than I would, sure take it from the poor and disabled and give it to the rich, No one dares stand up, You're too scared to quit, You can't tell yourself you're living in shit, Even you know you're abused, you know youïre misled, youïve been lied to and cheated

It might be going down down in statistics, looks like weïre living in a welfare state, but it has no connection with life hidden from the public eye

Work 'til you're numb, `til your mind and body's gone
