well there must have been a reason for the smile that you had upon your face last night are you the cat that got the cream did you lick your lips did you close your eyes can you imagine how it feels it′s so hard to reveal oh i can′t get through and i′m falling i′m getting out i′m losing ground the spanish archer′s gonna bring you down
is there someone somewhere waiting in the wings to take my place let′s not drag it out like a cagney death scene in this season of change it′s not hard to explain like the leaves on the trees i′m falling and as you turn don′t look away the spanish archer′s gonna make you pay
do you remember when the sky was blue we used to talk for miles and now we drive along in this thundering silence it′s such an obvious lie with that easy smile of yours i′m letting go and i′m falling i′m getting out losing ground the spanish archer′s gonna bring you down
well is there something i can say as we stumble to the edge have we gone too far why don′t we call it a day before we call it a nightmare darlin′ if we made a mistake then all that it takes to be free is the wave of a hand and you′re falling and as you turn don′t look away the spanish archer′s gonna make you pay
The day is gone when the angels come to stay And all the silent whispers will be blown away And lying in the corner a pair of high heel shoes Hanging on the wall gold and silver for the blues
One too many wasted sunsets One too many for the road And after dark the door is always open Hoping someone else will show
Someone is waiting behind an unlocked door Grey circles overhead empties on the floor The cracks in the walls have grown too long The slow hand is dragging on afraid to meet the dawn
One too many wasted sunsets One too many for the road And after dark the door is always open Hoping someone else will show
Sweet child in time You′ll see the line The line that′s drawn between the good and the bad See the blind man shooting at the world Bullets flying taking toll If you′ve been bad, Lord I bet you have And you′ve been hit by flying lead You′d better close your eyes and bow your head And wait for the ricochet
If you fool around With the dealer Remember soon You′ll have to pay He′ll creep behind you Like a hunter Just to steal your soul away I don′t want no one Messing with my woman But just the same I don′t see nobody Fooling with you If you′re snowblind Madonna can hold you But if you don′t understand There is nothing she can do for you
Running from the dealer Trying to save your soul
I can feel the fire Coming from inside you I know what it′s like Cos I′ve been burned before Ain′t no mercy In the hunger but You′re a fool to yourself Cos your dealer keeps you begging for more
Running from the dealer Trying to save your soul
In the beginning all you wanted Was the calm before the storm If the bluebird plays the eagle He finds his song will turn to stone Dealer
I don′t care if my lady′s gone as long as you give me just what I want. I′ve been losin′ my direction, got to find a new connection.
You have wasted the love I tasted, now I′m really gettin′ hungry more and more. Been a long time, had a bad sign. Tell me what am I fighting for?
Let me know you feel it, you know I really need it. Keep on pushin′ for more, lay down, stay down. I got something to find, there′s one thing I really need. I′m gonna tell you right now, lay down, stay down.
Lookin′ for trouble, I guess that′s right. When I was young I was taught to fight. It′s been long gone since I had known, now I′m headin′ for some more.
Let me know you feel it, you know I really need it. Keep on pushin′ for more, Lay down, stay down. I got something to find, there′s one thing I really need. I′m gonna tell you right now, lay down, stay down.
Let me know you feel it, you know I really need it. Keep on pushin′ for more, lay down, stay down. I got something to find, there′s one thing I really need. I′m gonna tell you right now, lay down, stay down.
I′ve been mistreated, I′ve been abused. I′ve been struck downhearted, baby, I′ve been confused ′cause I know, yes, I know I′ve been mistreated. Since my baby left me I′ve been losing my mind, you know I have.
I′ve been lonely, I′ve been cold. I′ve been looking for a woman to have and hold ′cause I know, yes, I know I′ve been mistreated. Since my baby left me I′ve been losing, I′ve been losing, I′ve been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
I′ve been mistreated, I′ve been abused. I′ve been looking for a woman, yeh, I′ve been confused ′cause I know, yes, I know I′ve been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh. Since my baby left me I′ve been losing, losing, I′ve been losing my mind, baby baby babe. Oh oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.
Can you remember remember my name As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time Distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known And laughing as the spirits appear All your life Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind You′ve got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Is aching with the dead of the night Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain)
And if you hear me talking on the wind You′ve got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers
Oh you′re all looking up With hearts of devotion Through the dust and the heat lost to me In a cloud of emotion I have no motivation To keep this breathless pace I′m more inclined to stay here In this breathing space
And the sun goes down And the moon comes up
I never tried to walk the walk ′Cos the steps are elusive The membership is too costly And exclusive Hey, the more I′ve got The more I stand to lose So I′m gonna unpack my bags And take off my shoes
And the sun goes down And the moon comes up
Let me tell you there′s no point knocking At the big oak door Can′t you see that it′s all full up They can′t take no more The line′s so long It′s almost Disney Ooh… Wont somebody kiss me
You keep on moving Far away far away You keep on moving Far away far away Everyday wheels are turning And the cry still returning
Dawn will soon be breaking The day has just begun You put your arms around me Like a circle ′round the sun Dance across the seasons To a place that no one knows Where angels fear to tread
I have often told you stories About the way I lived the life of a drifter Waiting for the day When I′d take your hand And sing you songs Then maybe you would say Come lay with me love me And I would surely stay
But I feel I′m growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin′ ′round I guess I′ll always be A soldier of fortune
Many times I′ve been a traveller I looked for something new In days of old When nights were cold I wandered without you But those days I thougt my eyes Had seen you standing near Though blindness is confusing It shows that you′re not here
Now I feel I′m growing older And the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance Like the sound Of a windmill goin′ ′round I guess I′ll always be A soldier of fortune Yes, I can hear the sound Of a windmill goin′ ′round I guess I′ll always be A soldier of fortune
We all came out to Montreaux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a Mobile We didn′t have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water And fire in the sky
They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky and Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water And fire in the sky
We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds We make a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know we′ll never forget
If you′re leaving close the door. I′m not expecting people anymore. Hear me grieving, I′m lying on the floor. Whether I′m drunk or dead I really ain′t too sure.
I′m a blind man, I′m a blind man And my world is pale. When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there aint no sadder tale.
Had a friend once in a room, Had a good time but it ended much too soon. In a cold month in that room We found a reason for the things we had to do.
I′m a blind man, I′m a blind man, Now my room is cold. When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.
Infidel can you hear Would be strange delight I need you to give your sympathy tonight When you hear what I say Deeds I′ve done Realize I′ve never lost and never won
I′ve got a feeling that it′s never right There was a reason but it′s out of sight It′s going down somewhere tonight Under the gun
Put death in my hand Learn to fight Who could care if it′s wrong or if it′s right We got no choice Under command We′re ordered to die or take this land
Stupid bastards and religious freaks So safe in their castle keeps They turn away as a mother weeps Under the gun
When brave men fall Under crimson skies There′s a sadness reflected in a soldier′s eyes Tears will dry For those I kill Remember no more their names but someone will
The only way to be victorious Screw the fools who think it′s glorious Who gives a toss about the likes of us Under the gun
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
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
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
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
It′s your life, it′s in the making Crap a slice, it′s all for the taking, ′cause it′s Fast fun and it′s cheap tricks, you know the pants on hang you get your kicks
You want it, you need it, you get it and then You loose it, you win it, you been it, you truce it, You love it, you hate it, you give it and then You take it, you live it, you leave it or break it. Steal the moment and enjoy the game of life, Make the most of where you are right now! Get your last drain make by our teasing life, Being our be, sit together somehow – cause it′s your life!
It′s your race from the beginning, Set the pace make sure that you winning, ′cause it′s Be first or it′s be nothing, so do what it takes, even if it means bluffing.
You want it, you need it, you get it and then You loose it, you win it, you been it, you truce it, You love it, you hate it, you give it and then You take it, you live it, you leave it or break it.

What kind of world is this that we′re living in when a man accused guilty of rape Is still free′d 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 get′s 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
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
18 years since I saw you the first time and I′m still here right next to you we′ve had our ups and our fair share of downs that we′ve both been through you know I′ve done wrong but I′ve tried to be strong and give in to you if that′s what it takes to make everything work out then that′s what I′ll do to get through to you
The best and the worst, the last and the first The love of my life is a blessing and curse
I don′t believe that there′s more to achieve in this love affair And I can′t just swallow my pride and pretend I′m prepaired to be there If you can′t trust me there′s no gaurentee that I won′t disappear I′m so sick of these mindgames, it′s time to confront all of our greatest fears & just be sincere.......
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
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
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
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
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 [2x]
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 [2x]
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 [2x]
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 binch of fucking clowns
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
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?
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...
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
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?
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
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 wrongdon′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
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
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
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
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
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
I end up giving more, but still recieving 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 assfucked, god knowws how much you owe You took more than what was yours but you can′t steal my show
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 onnothing 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
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
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
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
You treat me like I′m fucking useless, what makes you think I even care I think this whole affair is fruitless and it won′t lead to anywhere
I never said you had to like me, I never shoved shit down your throat But you still act like you′re above me, with all that heartless crap you wrote
You try to suffocate me, you try to violate me You try to fill me full with all your dirty lies You try to ridicule me, but I won′t let you fool me Cos′ you′re so pitiful and easy to despise
What have you done that might impress me, I can′t think of anything at all Don′t even want you to adress me, it′s not as if you make the calls
You compensate your lack of talent, talentlessly slagging what you hate How does it feel to kill a debutant, so you can put food on your plate?
I don′t know how to rate a failure, so I got nothing more to say And I′m so sick of your behaviour, so watch me when I walk away
You try to suffocate me, you try to violate me You try to fill me full with all your dirty lies You try to ridicule me, but I won′t let you fool me Cos′ you′re so pitiful and easy to despise
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
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
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 and 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 and 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 and throw it right into the mix and 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 and 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 and a dish full of disagree some ignorance on the side, a plate full of hate, served with a fistful of me
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
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
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 and 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 and 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
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 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
Give me a reason i give you good advice coz′ we are all reactions we′re thinkin over twice the public execution is got to be well planed get yourself the right tools and watch those good events
fast and painless sharp and stainless creatures always have to die fast and painless hard and shameless no remorse make surely fry carnivore until i die
don′t think it′s over once the work is done throw away the skin of bold and walk away the crumps invite you′re friends make 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 surely 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 worst of real the demages the last who can escape we grant some fucking pointless once it′s over done 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 surely fry fast and painless sharp and stainless creatures always have to die fast and painless hard and shameless no remorse make surely fry creatures always have to die
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
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 elses 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 gaurd 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 waasting 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
