OVER & OUT
We could have seen it coming
But we just looked away
All eyes on what’s important
Just ourselves so come what may
We’re deaf to all the warnings
Got used to over the years
Fade out disaster soundtracks
Pesky ringing in our ears
Bye-bye, this time we can't talk it over
Bye-bye, we can't work it out
Bye-bye, denial just won’t get us nowhere
Bye-bye, we can't work it out
So we just let it happen
And simply blanked it out
Way better to live like that
Than to deal with all the doubts
We constantly pretended
We‘d keep the end at bay
In fact we always knew
It will catch up with us one day
Bye-bye, …
We’re on our way to the point of no return
We ignore all ample warnings
Well I guess we'll never learn
Bye-bye, …
Over and out…

DESPERATE LULLABY (Song for Alan)
Soon our journey will come to an end
And then you’ll wake up in the promised land
I know that you are scared and so am I
Rest in my arms this will all soon go by
We will make it one day
Somehow, we’ll find a way
When we are lost and all our hope is gone
Desperation keeps us going on
And we’re drifting for days
Plaything of turning waves
Until - we are washed to the shore
Sleep some more
Hide in my arms from all that you fear
My voice and my heartbeat is all that you hear
I’ll sing in the dark to soothe you and me
Desperate lullaby of where we long to be
We will make it one day
Somehow, we’ll find a way
When we are lost …
When we are lost and all our hope is gone
Desperation keeps us going on
And we’re drifting for days
Plaything of turning waves
But hey, we will make it one day
Somehow, we’ll find a way
We will make it one day
Somehow, we’ll find a way
We will make it one day
Sleep some more

THIS MEANS WAR
Get out of my way
I had a fucking day
I’m armed just like a ticking bomb
To blow up in your face
I am so fed up
But you still don’t stop
To play with fire, light the fuse
Until it burns me up
There is this rage I can’t ignore
It eats my soul
Now this means war
Shut the fuck up
‘Cause I can’t take it anymore
All systems overload
I’m about to explode
And you try to defuse this bomb
By cutting all the wires
You drive me fucking mad
And all I see is red
You better get out of my way
Before I lose my head
There is this rage I can’t ignore
It eats my soul
Now this means war…
I should calm down
And wipe off that frown
So I bite my lips bloody
Swallow my anger
And start to count
But there’s this rage I can’t ignore
It eats my soul, war
Now this means war…

NO PASARÁN!
Hey you fascist idiots
You’ll never get through
Take down your flags and banners
Back off and fuck you!
When you march we’ll be there
To stand in your way
When you shout we’ll scream
So you can’t be heard
We will fight and resist
Wherever you show up
Fight and resist ‘til you’re gone
We will fight and resist
Wherever you show up
Fight and resist
No pasarán!
Hey, all you worried assholes
Why are you so afraid
In fact you are quite scary
Idiots on parade
When you march we’ll be there
To stand in your way
When you shout we’ll scream
So you can’t be heard
We will fight and resist…
Hey, indifferent people
Speak up and join in
Come on, the more the better
This time we must win
We ain’t those to blame for
What happened back then
But we are those to care for
It doesn’t happen again
When they march we’ll be there
To stand in their way
When they shout we’ll scream
So they can’t be heard
We will fight and resist…

Wake-up call

WAKE-UP CALL
This is your wake-up call
You gonna kill us all
How many meltdowns do you need
You can’t control the flame you feed
This is your wake-up call
Burry all atomic waste
Out of sight out of mind
Leave it to future generations
Maybe they will find
A way to finally get rid of
Our toxic legacy
So let’s all enjoy the comforts
Of this “clean” technology
This is your wake-up call…
Whitewash all statistics
Single cases trivialized
Praise the safety like a mantra
We’ll forget that it’s all lies
You just have to keep it secret
When radiation is set free
And we all enjoy the comforts
Of this “safe” technology
This is your wake-up call…
Fukushima, Chernobyl
Are memorials to show
This is a ticking timebomb
And we all know
We can’t just wait for the next
Worst case scenario
Shut them off, tear them down
This is your wake-up call…

Set on fire

SET ON FIRE
A little spark is all it takes
Set on fire
To let this place go down in flames
Set on fire
And you’ve got plenty up your sleeve
Set on fire
To make this world a burning hell
Set on fire
On and on and on and on
You won’t stop until you’re done
Fire
You add fuel to the fire
Set on Fire
You add fuel to the fire
You’re drenched in gasoline
Soaked to your skin
You’ll get more than your fingers burned
Set on fire
And I am sure that day will come
Set on fire
Then you’ll reap what you have sown
Set on fire
A fire starter on the run
Set on fire
On and on and on and on
You won’t stop until you’re done
Fire…
And on and on and on and on
I hope you burn before you’re done
Fire…

Here I am

HERE I AM
Here I am
Still ready to rock because I can
Let yourself go
Because we’ll have a perfect time
Have a perfect time
Here I am
If you wanna freak out I’m your man
Don’t put the blame on me
Because I can’t control myself
Can’t control myself
Some people say
I make them feel good
Some people say
I’m dangerous
Some people say
I am addictive
Some people say
I blew their mind
Here I am
Always by your side like an old friend
You can count on me
Because I’ll never let you down
Never let you down
Some people say…

FOR A SECOND
Come take my hand
Let’s try to make this moment last forever
I ain’t scared
As long as you and I stand close together
Destroy the clock
Stop marching to its steady beat
For a second
How I wish the world stood still
For a second
Right now
One day, one week
What are we waiting for?
One month, one year
Do we just hope for more?
One day, one week
The precious time is gone
One year, one life
So we regret and carry on
For a second…
Come take my hand
Let’s try to make this moment last forever
I ain’t scared
As long as you and I stand close together
Time flies so fast
A memory is all that’s last
And we can’t bring back time
For a second…

So pretty

SO PRETTY
High heels and endless legs
Gracious gate and sexy back
When she walks down the street
All the men are at her feet
They stop their talks and turn their heads
‘Cause she’s so pretty
So pretty, so pretty
She’s so pretty and she knows
So pretty, so pretty
She’s so pretty
Perfect body, long black hair
Mysterious, exotic air
She winks at them with almond-eyes
Still the men don’t realize
That she ain’t what she seems to be
‘Cause she’s so pretty
So pretty…
Dressed to kill
A tourists’ toy
Sell your body
They will buy
Oh, pretty ladyboy
So pretty…

TURN ON THE RADIO
All alone, I am back on the highway
Radio keeps me awake on my way
Sob stuff, tear jerkers
As I switch the stations I hear it
I can’t believe it
This one goes out to the world
They play my song turn on the radio
They play my song do you hear it
They play my song turn on the radio
They play my song, they play my song
Turn up the volume ‘til my ears bleed
I watch the world fly by at full speed
If I could then I would
I’d make this moment last forever
I can’t believe it
This one goes out to the world
They play my song …

Breakdown

BREAKDOWN
Baby, baby put away that gone in your hand
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Please believe me it will all turn good in the end
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Baby, baby you know this might hurt a bit
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Just one more step and you will surely lose your grip
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Calm down my friend
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Breakdown
Nowhere to go and nothing left to lose
Breakdown
Last chance to get your head out of the noose
Baby, baby please don’t take that switch blade knife
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Take my advice, you better try to save your life
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Calm down my friend
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Tell me why you’re so down and out again
Breakdown…

STRAY KID ROCK
With his shabby skateboard
He’s cruising around the city
Nothing happens in this fucking town
He’s bored stiff that is tricky
He’s got a lighter
He’s got a can full of gasoline
Doesn’t need a key for this town
With that bottle of Gin he fills the power in
Stray kid rock
Kicking up dust
Sixteen years, so snotty nosed,
Brat so lost
Checking up the meeting points
No one out there in the streets
He won’t stay the night in bed
Skating to the Scallwags beat
That good piece of shit
Makes him dizzy and forget
No one waits for him at home
He makes a night of it
And paints the whole town red
Stray kid rock…

SAVE THE WORLD
I pretend that I don’t see
How you suffer
I ignore your agony
Got nothing to offer
Shed a tear, wipe away now
Fake a smile I am ok for today
I pretend that I don’t hear
My conscience calling
Always tried to keep it clear
But qualms come crawling
Shed a tear, wipe away now
Fake a smile I am ok for today
Yeah, yeah, I am not the one to save the world
Yeah, yeah, not today
Yeah, yeah, I am not the one to save the world
Yeah, yeah, not today
I am ok
You may call it indifference
I answer you back there
It is an act of self defense
To save me from despair
Shed a tear, wipe away now
Fake a smile I am ok for today
Yeah, yeah, I am not the one …
