Shit
How the fuck can we believe in a God or Spirit that's never been seen. Just made up to exploit and deceive every weak human intellect, try to see. It's just another instrument to oppress the poor and strengthen the upper class. I can't see how the fuck you can buy this shit, try to understand this is just another fairy-tale, but you swallow everything anyway. But I have hope for humanity. We're all equipped with a mind to see, through this bullshit hypocrisy made up to fuck up equality. You say that I'm just another boy on this world who's trying to romanticizes the struggle, but i know when im talking about love. You say that im just an immature kid who's always, always looking for trouble, but you cant avoid it if your trying to be heard. We got so little to lose and so much to win, why dont we realize how fooled we have been? Why do we sell ourselves for the price they give ? They let us down and we forgive. Now it's all for one and not all for all. The greed keeps the people the masses in control. We got so little to lose and so much to win, why dont we realize how fooled we have been ? We got so little to lose and so much to win why dont we realize that greed eats from within. Oh mama, mama life can get so lonely, Oh papa life can get so strange. In times like this we have to stick together. Brothers, sisters, workers, comrades and everybody, yea ! We got so little to lose and so much to win, why dont we realize how fooled we have been? We got so little to lose and so much to win why dont we realize that greed eats from within. When i was younger me and my friends saw the Exorcist. Thomas got so scared he couldn't sleep for days and he wouldn't listen to me when i told him its not for real. Itold him it's make believe and that there is no heaven or hell even if DIO sings about it so well. Even though no gods exists and i'm an atheist the Exorcist got me so scared, got me so scared. Some years went by then came the Heretic Exorcist 2 starring Linda Blair and Max von Sydow too. It had none of the mood and the tension it was not a worthy continuation, a category B and a big disappointment for me. Even though no gods exists and im an atheist the Exorcist got me so scared, got me so scared. Since then i´ve seen a thousand films, none with same tension and not to mention credibility. In 1990 came Exorcist 3 based on the novel legion by William Peter Blatty. It was not as bad as i thought it would be, not as good as the book, but it was still worth to see. It´s time to pack , load the van and go. Hit the road again, do another show. We try to sleep or listen to the radio. Might as well get comfortable we´ve got a long, long way to go. If we get there early, we park the car. Then we try to find out where the record stores are. Then we unload our stuff and hope we get some food. It always taste like shit, but we try not to be rude. Me and the boys ain't afraid to raise our voices, but we hardly ever act it is sad but it´s a fact. There is much for us to do, tear down and build up new, but we speak from our heart and that´s a start. Then its time to play, oh man the crowd is crazy. At least the two drunk punks, who ever said that punks are lazy? When the show is over and all of the people has gone, we talk about the gig and all the mistakes we´ve done. I never thought we´d go this far, i mean, we even got our own car and it takes us where ever we want to go. We get to play in lousy bars and hang out with the superstars from the local support act. Another war, a thousand dead passed from the screen into my head. Upset for a minute but in a while I change channel and my anger is replaced with a smile. Suffered destruction of my mind, the same as the rest of all man kind. Blockades the head from everything, that makes you feel guilty, sick or sad. Still I believe there got to be a way that makes everybody feel OK, but when I listen to what people have to say, I think it seems like they are all afraid to react, and take stand, against this Ignorance, that rules this world. Infect people's mind, with virus you can't find. A gigantic reformation of this whole society is the only way to see the end of this malady, spreading rapidly. Keep up your spirit, keep your dream. Keep up your hope and self-esteem. Try to react on inequity. Together work to achieve equality. Look at this fucking world everybody wants to be on TV. Is five minutes in the spotlight supposed to make you feel free? Anything goes, the price is high if you want to be seen. Some people do just about anything to get their face on the screen. This society treats celebrities and so called stars like fucking Gods. Even though the majority of them are fucking frauds. They hear it on the radio and they gladly sing a long. They watch it on their television screens and they dont think that its wrong. Look at this fucking world, people do anything to get on TV. Anose job and plastic breasts guaranties a place on the screen. What kind of sick society can accept something like that? Cause what difference does it really make if you are a size "D" or if you're flat? They hear it on the radio and they gladly sing a long. they watch it on their television screens and they dont think that its wrong. they hear it on the radio, they watch it on there television screen, they read it in the papers they read it in the fashion magazines. And they dont think that it's wrong that children act like sex-symbols and dresses like their favorite superstars. I've got to tell you about a strange, poor man. I met him at our concert, now he's a legend in our band. He claimed we had to sell him a T-shirt for one mark. I explained we really try to be as cheap as we can, but that didn't get through to that man. Yeah it is cool that you believe in us, but you have to understand that, we're not Peter K, Emma, Gandhi and Marx reincarnated as a punkrockband. And even if we found our major enemy in the core of this capital dynasty we're still a part of this goddamn money machine. Right after the show, strengthened with a bottle of wine. He said to me: -"Diese T-shirt ist ja mein, You capitalistische schwein" !! He grabbed an empty bottle of beer and aimed right at my head. I got scared and took shelter right behind my own amp and the glass swished above my head, crash! But it's so fucking hard to be the perfect human that you demand of me. But I want everyone to know that we really try to practice what we preach. But I guess the reason for this fight is just your own bad conscious that bleeds. Baby, now I see, from what that man did to me, I could surely have made the funniest song that the world's ever seen. But still now when I've found I'm the worst storyteller around I will keep up my reading, I will keep my pen bleeding, 'Til everybody's free. For some talk is cheap, action is what counts, when it comes to saving animals to cut down the murder amounts. For others it ´s hard to see the easiest of thing,s as the pain and suffering the meat industry brings. Some choose to see just what they want to see, but to put the head in the sand has never worked for me. I try to examine myself for deficiencies, be as strict as i can be, then find the remedy. There are not many good things that I´ve done, but giving up meat is most certainly one. You are what you fight for, your actions and your thoughts and words. There's still parts of me that Idon´t like. Iwatch way to much TV, Ii drive a car instead of riding a bike. I'm not proud over all the things I am, I'm not proud of being white I'm not proud of being man. This last years I have changed my personality, from passive to revolutionary... They fear us Borders and customs prevents people to travel and live wherever they want. How can anybody say that they own a piece of this world ? The world belongs to everybody, every corner and street, every ocean and beach, all the deserts and mountains too, they all belong to you. Theories like this is what the upper-class fears cause white, rich, males knows nothing worse than share. Their greed, their lack of care, is far more than i can bare. All i want, all i need is some solidarity, some equality and freedom. It's a question of responsibility, this world can become what we want it to be, its all up to you, its up to me, things dont change by themselves, you'll see. It's our responsibility to act, to make sure that the environment stays intact. All the pollution and damage they do, they do it to you. The companies that put profit before environmental care, should be boycotted its your obligation to stay aware. Their greed, their lack of care is far more than i can bare. All i want, all i need, is some solidarity, some equality and freedom. Freedom under responsibility, I don't need anyone to decide things for me. When you look back on our history, all you see are war and misery. Caused by humanity, controlled in the hierarchy. But I don't agree, we're not born to be evil, corrupt, inclined for tyranny. Instead I, would like to claim that we're changed by the powergame that they play. Oppressing masses, preserving classes. Institutions to confine revolutionaries in line, Yeah, make the people blind. When you look back on our history, all you see are cults and mystery. Constitutionalized hypocrisy. To silence demands for democracy, that they fear. So they're oppressing masses, preserving classes. Institutions to confine revolutionaries in line. Take a look around, yeah; take a good look around. Can't you hear what I'm trying to say? It's time to choose a different way. No longer slave and passively be the perfect part in their machinery. No, no longer, longer, baby! I never claimed myself to be, the world's most perfect human being. I try to do my best, but i fail like all the rest. I'm not strong, smart or well-dressed, but I'm tougher than the rest, cause I believe that we can make things better… Now and forever and for everyone out there. In school i fucked up every test. Iwas never ever best on anything. I had poor grades and a terrible hairdo, if you where fifteen in the eighties, so did you. I'm not good- looking or well-dressed, but im more naive than the rest, cause Ibelieve that we can make things better… Now and forever and for everyone out there. I hear you talk, talk, talk, talk the talk but can you walk, walk, walk the walk? Now and forever and for everyone out there... After eight long hours of working in the factory, his legs were tired as he walked out through the door. His hands were dirty and his head was aching. He said it's like a sickness but I think Iknow a cure. It's friday night, the time is right, my mind is set, I'm going out tonight. I'm gonna dance ´til i cant dance no more, swinging my feet out on the floor. This is music for the working class radio. This will make you dance, dance, dance tonight. After spending fiftteen hours in our tour bus. After we´ve been sleeping on some madrasses on the floor. After we´ve been playing in front of a crowd of twenty morons, it's nice to know that life can offer something more... Racist issues are subject of discussion again. The conditions are the same, but the problems still remains. And just like so many times before, we come to no conclusion, we achieve nothing more. Yes, I'm sure that they mean well by those T-shirt they sell, but this time I've had it with their crap, I feel like a mission on my own...Ijust wanna step outside. Strike a blow for the ignorant masses. I just wanna step outside. Strike a blow for you. You can blame it on depresion, blame it on whatever you choose. But it's still out on the streets that people really paying their dues. Yeah, we all want integration, we all ant this violence to end. But I ought to think of something better than where and when the violence began. Yes, I'm sure that they mean well by the T-shirt they sell, but this time I've had it with their crap, I'm on a mission on my own... |
