SUPPRESS & RESTRAIN lp/cd/mc
I was walking down the street with my eyes half-shut,Completely
unaware of things to come,When I noticed a big crowd,Heading
towards our direction, One reaches for his pocket and pulls
out a knife, All my friends had split, There was nothing
they could´ve done, My sobby and mumbled words, Didn´t
get my message through, They had chosen their victim, To
target their rage, They knocked me down, A flashing knife,
I woke up on a stitching board
It´s just another hatecrime, In the streets every
fucking day, No one´s gonna hear you scream, And I
doubt that anyone cares
Racism in the streets like a spreading disease, Brother
kills brother for the color of his skin, Something that
they won´t accept, An idea, A pin, Or just a crowd
you´re in, The police is part of the conspiracy ,
Racist, Homophobes roaming with their Billy Clubs, Brutality
condoned by the massmedia, And the government, More lies
and more cover-ups, Bury the files of the racist hatecrimes,
To protect and to serve, But tell me fucking who
What´s the point of getting up now, ´Cause the
train I was supposed to get on, That train, It is long gone,
Some things are meant to be, No matter how hard you tried
to, Wake me up from my daydream, You told me how you could
build me up and pull my strings, I didn´t fall into
your trap, Didn´t get tangled on your web, I set myself
free from all your chains, It’s a chance I didn´t
take, Some things come and some things go, All I know is
how I feel
Something to believe in, Here, Now and always, Don´t
trade your soul for their phony excuses (for life)
I know where things are heading , So I won´t give
in, Hell no, Won´t throw my life away, You see those
days are long gone, The days I´d listen to you, ´Cause
it makes me so fucking pissed off, You say you´re
always right,
I guess it´s better to shape up, And fade away than
to stay strong, And have something to believe, It´s
something that´s gonna stay with me, Like a tattoo,
It ain´t going off, Gotta be proud of what you are
People has brought me in this situation, I´m sick
and tired watching their way of living, Which humiliates
the whole nature´s order, I have lost my hope, Too
many disappointments, For fuck´s sake I´ve tried,
But don´t get what I need, To keep the flame alive
inside of me
Just let it go, Just let it go, As far as it goes Lead me
out of here, I’ve fucking had enough, Lead me out of
here, Just keep the pieces, Get me out of here, Gonna choose
the path of intoxication, And let it go as far as it goes
I see people around me, They´ve got what I need, They
give me time to breathe for a little while, But when the
night is over, It´s all piling up again, I hope there´d
be more than this minority, It´s not enough for me
not to lose my sanity, But there´s no way to make
them understand
A man from the gutter with a cheap-wine breath, Under the
bridge, Alone in the park, Traveller of an abandoned kind,
Didn´t wanna be like the rest of them, A man from
the gutter who´s got a soul, Unlike the ones never
been out in the cold, Rejected and left alone, No money,
Still richer than the most
Forbidden Zone, No room for people from the lower class,
Grab those dirty bags and take your friends with you, Don´t
step on to the forbidden zone, Get out,´cause you´ve
been rejected
Kicked out from the stationhall, Kicked out from society,
Everyone thinks that he´s a joke, I guess they can´t
see above their own lies, No place to stay , No place to
go, No way in, There´s no way out, They just wanna
erase your name, Your existence from their world
He´s everywhere, Just look around, People want him
out, Out of sight, If you live your life being true to yourself,
Could you have done wrong, Just follow the chosen path
Woke up in my vomit, What the mess I´m in, The times
are getting rough, Better keep your heart in it, Thought
it was just yesterdays´ headrush, But the pain is
still there, Things aren´t what they used to be, So
get used to it, This town´s getting smaller, ´Cause
there´s no place to be, A lot of fucked up shit I´ve
done, Yet nothing to boast about
(It´s like) Looking down a barrel of a loaded gun,
Is it gonna go off, When I roll the dice, Didn´t get
along, I´m leaving this town, When it´s getting
sicker, I pull the trigger, And shoot it up to the sky
I´ve been beat up, I´ve been shut down, So many
times dragged down to the ground,
I´m not gonna deal with it a single day more, The
bouncer kicked me out, I´m out in the street, The
streetlight´s getting dim, A feeling of defeat, I
need someone I can trust, Instead of lies&confusion
Beware, Beware, The modern day is here, It moves on to your
home, No matter how you resist, It slowly sucks the life
out of things you used to care for, It slowly kills the
need for you as an individual, We´re struggling, We´re
battling, We´re doing all we can, But they´re
using all means to try and stop us, No one wants to believe
that they´re wrong, The disease is spreading international,
Disconnected from the earth, Get connected to artificial
happiness
Foundation we´ve built our lives on, Progress that
goes on&on, False feeling of security, We´re all
disconnected, Foundation we´ve built our lives on,
And no one believes that they´re wrong, Pursuit of
happiness, Through consuming, We´re all disconnected
Beware, Beware, America is here, Commercializing your feelings
and your thoughts, Buy what you can´t afford and what
you don´t need, To make an impact on your neighbors,
Homelessness rising, The poor made outlaws, Protect the
rich from the horrors of poverty, Computers took over, So
start selling yourself, To strive through the days of mental
emptiness, Disconnected from the earth, Get connected to
artificial happiness
Flag in a pole`s got nothing to do with freedom, Like a
gun in your hand for pacification, So many fools are made
to believe, That they´re in for something good, The
primary goal is peace, Doesn´t matter if we gotta
kill for it
Dropping bombs for peace to stop the killing, Pacified by
war, More bombs is what we need to make the killing stop
The armies´got nothing to do with human rights,The
money spent on arms could save the ones who starve, Mankind´s
quest for dominance and power to control, It´s a needle
in their arm, A drug with no cure
It´s rooted deep in the conservative minds, The love
for country and nationality, The faith in god´s keeping
your eyes shut, From the madness you´re in, From the
blood in your hands, "Just stay away, This country
is ours, This is the soil that we possess", These borders
you made, These walls you built, With the blood of the innocent
and the weak
Boredom and depression, They’re burning me up, The
welfare checks ain’t enough to pay the bills and rent,
Insanity is here, Gotta drink the days away, Staring at
the bottles, Where is this world coming to, I don’t
fit into the description of a model citizen, I might have
choices, some would call insane, But I’m not causing
pain and suffering, To this world by my choices
Tell me something new, Tell me something I can use, It’s
time to tear it down, And build it up again
Looking good on TV, Same shit, Different day, Human rights
and equality, A lotta pretty words, But when you lack respect
and don’t have no trust, People’re gonna come
at you and then you’re outta luck, Rich fucking hypocrites,
The few who hold the power, Wiping out the ones who they
don’t need, They’re gonna laugh, Behind your backs,
When the rest of us cry
Tell me something new,Tell something I can use, It’s
time to tear it down, And build it up again
If that’s what it takes, To make them understand
Can´t see, What you´re thinking, Only know what
you´ll be missing, Fear ,Hate, Or something bigger,
Your life´s going down the sewer, Get a hold of dignity
or it´ll be too far away, Hey, Pull yourself together,
Or you will lose again
Everyday, You´ll be hard-up, Self-respect has lost
the meaning, The path, You have chosen, Will lead to destruction,
You´ll be the victim here, Your mind has split apart,
Hey, Pull yourself together, Or you will lose again
Behind those jaded eyes, You don´t even wanna feel
alive, Behind those jaded eyes, Your heart is gone, There´s
no relief
Can´t see, You´re blindfolded, Won’t know
where you´ll be heading, Things change, You´re
a goner, Bound to the most feared ending, Just waste away
in pain, Don´t wanna hear you whine, Hey, Pull yourself
together or you will lose again
You´ll be the first to go, I see no hope, Your life´s
taken all you were living for, "The failed" in
row, Saw no hope, For somebody else they were living for
Behind those jaded eyes, Struggling to feel alive, Behind
those jaded eyes, Your heart is gone, There´s no relief
From the very first day, You were fed the words, That wealth´s
gonna bring you power and glory, The reason for living is
dehumanized, Money is your god and you´re desensitized,
To see the murdered millions and the third world decay,
People with no rights, You just slowly turn away, You´re
just a prick in the wall of capitalism, "Foundation
to a high-standard of living"
It´s a force that we can´t control, It´s
the root of all evil, You´ve crossed the line, And
there´s no turning back
You might wanna sell your soul, On your endless search,
An endless search of prosperity and power, What we used
to call life, We hardly ever see, It´s not who you
are, It’s how much you make, Money brings greed and
greed brings war, At least you wore a happy face, When you
dropped the bomb, It really doesn´t matter how many
got killed, At least you got the profits and your duty is
fulfilled, Lie for money, Lie for nothing, Cheat for money,
Cheat for nothing, Kill for money, Kill for nothing, All
`cause, If you got it, You could be something, Pray for
money, Pray for nothing, Kiss ass for money,Kiss ass for
nothing, Live for money, Live for nothing, "I´d
sell my soul, I just wanna be something"
Won´t you give me something, That´s not brain-numbing,
Or give me an escape from this humiliation, I´ve got
no choice, And there´s no compromise, I don´t
give a fuck, Gonna leave it far behind, I´m just a
prisoner and this is self-afflicted pain, I´ve got
better things to do, I just ain´t part of your game
It´s a way of life, A conscious choice, But you make
plans, That I destroy, I won´t do, What you expect,
`Cause I know my way out (around)
In this situation, I know what to do, I´m not the
one you can use as your tool, I´m not doing anything
to make your wallet thick, Your dream is far from mine,
Yours just makes me sick, You´re just a prisoner,
Is it too hard to admit, It supports your wife and kids,
But does it support your mental health? I won`t be taken
for granted, I´m not your tool, I won`t be taken for
granted, I´m not your fucking fool
Operation teenage suicide, Starting from the day you found
your way, They made the codes to follow, Disqualify the
ones who cannot fit in your mold
Who the fuck are you to tell what`s right or wrong, Teenage
suicide
Harassment and discrimination, Discourage their true identity,
Depression and isolation, They`re wrapped in a cloth of
quilt, Make a change
Victims of straight society
Living in a world of unquestioned competition, Play the
role you were given, And you get complete satisfaction,
Why oppose, `Cause the role gets you anywhere you wanna
go, "A civilized man" has money on his mind, A
shortcut to success, Only the strong will survive, Don´t
waste no more time or the opportunities will slip away
Life is just a game, Playing the Suppress&Restrain,
Show no fear, No despair, Just a happy smile, Life is just
a game, Playing the Compete&The Gain, Show no love,
Show no hate, Just a happy smile
You´re sailing on shallow waters, `Cause you don´t
wanna drown, Just play it by the rules and you´re
on a winning path, Just keep a straight face, Shake hands
and be discreet, Your emotions aren´t needed, You´re
miscasting your role, No sympathy, No care, You gotta always
beware, Not to feel, ´Cause feelings` got nothing
to do with the number one, I wonder what´s happening,
What´s going on, ´Cause you´re afraid
of dying, Even if you´ve never lived
You´ve been running too fast, You´ve been running
too long, Do you really know what´s happening or what´s
going on, Sure you have a cause, You just change it everyday,
You sway like the leaves of a tree, You never look the same,
Always fight a different war, From a spiky-hair anarchist
to a nazi-skinhead, Swing your hips at the nightclub, Like
a rock star, Never had a clue of where you are
What the fuck are you fighting for? Once you had a cause,
Now you forgot it all, Did it come from your heart, Did
it come from your soul, (Or just a) Passing phase of growing
up?
What will happen next week, You never can tell, Depends
on the magazines or so called friends, One thing´s
for sure, "I´m thinking for myself", With
a stable mind, It may not be trendy to refuse and resist,
So you find another path, And cease to exist, I wish you
good luck on your journey to hell, Someone´s screaming,
Is it just my mind, That wants to get out and be someone
else, It´s something out of my grasp, Something I
can´t understand, You scratch the surface of all the
ideologies, You can´t stay true to yourself, Hey,
Are you really sincere
No matter what the destination, No matter what the situation,
They´ll come and start bombing anyway, Another broken
home, And there´s bodies on the ground, The most are
civil casualties, Do you really think that you can rule
the world, "God bless America"
They don´t give a fuck about you, You´re born
without a face, With no identity, Died under a bomb that
the U.S.A. dropped
Born with no dignity, You´re born without a face,
Your life means nothing to them, And they pledge allegiance
to their bloodstained flag, Which reeks of corruption, Lies
and genocide, Do you really think that you can rule the
world, "God bless the Genocide"
They don´t give a fuck about you, You´re born
without a face, With no identity, Died under a bomb that
the U.S.A. dropped, "One nation, Under god, God bless
the genocide
