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 ...
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 ....
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 ....
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 ....
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 ....
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
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 ....
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 ....
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 ....
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 ....
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

To bad you never really understood the way of time
I never looked into my mind
I always meant to be the element of your crime
And don't ask me why

Why doesn't anybody listen
Why doesn't anybody hear
Why doesn't anybody see me
Why don't you interfere
Don't ask me why

I never told the truth cos I believed 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

To bad you never really understood the way of time
I never looked into my mind
I got to get yourself back to the sky
Don't ask me why

Why doesn't anybody listen
Why doesn't anybody hear
Why doesn't anybody see me
Why don't you interfere

Why doesn't anybody listen
Why doesn't anybody hear
Why doesn't anybody see me
Why don't you interfere

I just can't disguise your heat
Never need to know your beat
Don't ask me why

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

Why doesn't anybody listen
Why doesn't anybody hear
Why doesn't anybody see me
Why don't you interfere

Why doesn't anybody listen
Why doesn't anybody hear
Why doesn't anybody see me
Why don't you interfere
Don't ask me why

Don't ask me why
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

2.We're naive to believe that we've come to the right conclusion, revolution
1.will we ever find the right solution

This is our evolution
and this is how we progress
Is this the final solution
Is this the way to success
Is this the way to success
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
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
Hocus pocus bogus bullshit you're so fucking full of it
Commit yourself to jesus christ as long as you can benefit
Profit stealing,money dealing heartless piece of human trash
The only god you follow blindly Is a pocket full of cash

Thank's to god you're rich and healthy but what is that funny smell
I know you've built your church on other peoples misery & hell
God gave you his greatest wisdom but I say your god's a dog
another holy cow to milk,another dead horse you can flog

I say you'll pay
I pray you'll burn in hell
I pray you'll burn in hell

You say Cash is king and God he can't afford to help me yet
then you tell me he'll arrive as soon as I write out a cheque
I don't need religion if you say I have to pay to pray
So I shake my head and turn the other cheek and walk away

I say you'll pay
I pray you'll burn in hell
I pray you'll burn in hell
I pray you'll burn in hell
I pray you'll burn in hell
liar
liar
liar
liar

I can help you see the stars shine all I'll do is clench my fist
If I need to see the light then I can just turn on the the switch
Bending over's just like kneeling you're fucked over when you pray
If god is all that you believe in then you're being led astray

I say you'll pay
I pray you're gonna burn in hell
I pray you're gonna burn in hell
I pray you're gonna burn in hell
I pray you're gonna burn in hell
Liar
Liar
Liar
Liar
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
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

Like a fool in paradise.......I?m a fool in paradise
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

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
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
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

We're all heros, we're all zeros.......
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
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

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?
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.
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
Give me world domination

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
Give me world domination

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
Give me world domination
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
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
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

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.....
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

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 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

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
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
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

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
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

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?
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
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

                                                                    
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

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

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
Yes sir, no sir anything goes
Change your looks and change your clothes
Get in where you fit in play by the rules
Masturbating with the fools

Play the game, choose a side
Learn to lose, fuck your pride

Taking no chances making safe bets
Acting like a teachers pet
Making your way but still not climbing
You're too worried about your timing

Shake those hands, fake that smile
Kiss that ass & sit back & hate yourself with style

Photostat copycat imitator
Faker traitor moneymaker
You're not a giver you're just a taker
Good for nothing impersonator

Yes sir, no sir anything goes
Change your looks and change your clothes
Get in where you fit in play by the rules
Masturbating with the fools

Play the game, choose a side
Learn to lose, sit back & hate yourself with style
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 address 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 debutante, 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
Cos' you're so pitiful and easy to despise
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 prepared to be there
If you can't trust me there's no guarantee that I won't disappear
I'm so sick of these mind games, 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
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
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

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
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

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'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
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
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 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
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

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
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
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay

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
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay

every rule we break every move we fake
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
that's the price we pay
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 
life will kill you 
life will kill you 
life will kill you 
life will kill you 

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
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

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?

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.

We are the prisoners,
of the system we create
We are the prisoners,
stuck inside the space we made
to escape
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.

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

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 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
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 ?
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
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home

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
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home
This house is not a happy home

                                                                    
New crimes come with new treasures
new times call for new measures
new dreams come with new let downs
lost games come with new rebounds

new love comes with new losses
new faith comes with new crosses
new cash comes with new winnings
new life comes with new beginnings

where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?

new signs come with new warnings
new walls come with new morning
new laws come with new leaders
new lies come with new decievers

where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?

where do we go from here
where do we go from here
where do we go from here
where do we go from here

it's a part of the game part of the gamble
we go we left this handles
screw you're hand with you're lucky strokes
and the loosing street coming up with stakes
can you reach the P
speak you're mouth co's we are sure what everybodys gonna do
what a dirty work for you
the winning to winning or you choose to loose
when you wanna be just a days news

where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
where can we go from here?
where the fuck can we go from here?
It's your life, it's in the making
Grab a slice, it's all for the taking, 'cause it's
Fast fun and it's
Cheap tricks, it all depends on how you get your kicks

You want it, you need it, you get it and then
You loose it, you win it, you bin it, you truce it,
You love it, you hate it, you give it and then
You take it, you live it, you leave it and break it.
Steal the moment and enjoy the game of life,
Make the most of where you are right now!
Get your act straight - make priorities in life,
Be here now, piece it 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 bin it, you truce it,
You love it, you hate it, you give it and then
You take it, you live it, you leave it and break it.
Steal the moment and enjoy the game of life,
Make the most of where you are right now!
Get your act straight - make priorities in life,
Be here now, piece it together somehow - cause it's your life!
It's your life!!!
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
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
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

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

i'm not dying to know
and we're not gonna find out
until it's time to go
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
