Straitjacket society
all the rebels dead or gone
you try to tame the shrew
before they breed another one
we're just a part of the machine
always walk in line
we try to keep the motor clean
all I want is to be free
in this straitjacket society
put me in that uniform
in my cute straitjacket
I just perfectly fit the norm
make me sing the company song
the anthem of collectivism
hey everybody: sing along!
all I want is ...
oh sweet dictated harmony
the means to force it are
condoned by group society
watch out if you step out of line
it's not the easiest way but
we all should try from time to time
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta break free from this
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta break free from this
does anybody dare to join me now?
all I want is...

Sad story
I turn around as someone calls my name
I see your face and I remember everything
I often think about those good old days
we used to waste our time in oh so many ways
these days are past and gone for so long
you say things changed since I've been gone
timmy couldn't get away from drugs
he tried it several times but he had no luck
he lost his car, he lost his money and he lost his wive
so he finally killed himself with a switchblade knife
to me it all seems like yesterday
she looks quite sad as she asks me
sad, sad story, tell me where have you been so long
sad, sad story, tell me
carry always loved to drive men mad
she used to hang around in almost every bed
she said they always are so good to me
now she's got something they call HIV
to me it all seems like yesterday
she looks quite sad as she asks me
sad, sad story, tell me where have you been so long
sad, sad story, tell me...

you're so randy, sexual raider
just get back in line, I gonna kiss you later
girls used to ignore us all the time
but now they stand and wait in line
and when they curry favour with me
I'm about to go insane
but I don't complain
obtrusive girls, they make us run
to look that good ain't always fun
the thought, that all they want is sex,
is driving me insane
but I don't complain
you're so randy, sexual raider
just get back in line, I gonna kiss you later
you're so randy...

Pretender
my friendly smile is all you see
-it's just a grin, I sneer at you
we shake hands, I clap your shoulder
- I'd rather punch your mean face, too
I am so glad that I have met you
- don't mean a single word I say
you look so good, you are so handsome
- it's nothing but base flattery
watch me I'm the great pretender
the king of hypocrisy
tell me your secrets, you can trust me
- your little stories are a crack
I promise that I keep all inside
- spread pretty rumors behind your back
I am the friend you always wanted
- this is what you want me to be
the shocked and sympathetic listener
- you won't ever unmask me
watch me ...
in the moment you expect it least
I'll shout "surprise" as I let out the beast
I'll show my real face and I'll put you down (sucker)
I'll beat you down (sucker)
I look forward to see your dumb face
a little startled and a little dazed
hello and welcome to reality (sucker)
enjoy your stay (sucker)
watch me ...

mary jane I promise you won't feel pain it's just a
blink of an eye and it's over
what's this noise all about why this great agitation
just try to calm down
why are you so pissed off, what was your expectation
there's no need to frown
mary jane I promise you won't feel pain it's just a
blink of an eye and it's over
yes I have to admit it's a strange situation
but I know what to do
please don't call me insane I just end our relation
gotta get rid of you
does she like poisened tea
or arsenic coffee
I could even drown her
should I choke her in bed
should I just shoot her dead
what would you prefer?

blink of an eye and it's over

We don’t care

We don't care
today we've lost another friend
he drank too much and now he's dead
they say that we could be the next
but we don't care
lets drown our sorrows in a drink
we have to bury our old friend
but we're too drunk to dig a hole
hey we don't care
they say that we don't care
(right, we don't care)
they say that we don't care
lets raise the bottle in our hand
"hey cheerio" you faithful friend
oh what a fucked-up funeral speech
but we don't care
what shall we write as epitaph
some nice words should be enough
orthography ain't our strong point
but we don't care
"You lived a short and reckless life
you drank too much and beat your wife
you'll burn in hell eternally
but we don't care"
so let this be a warning to you
what do they mean, we have no clue
they say that we don't care at all
and they are right!

Six feet under
now I'm flying across the sky
as I say to you good bye
don't feel any tightness,
hate, life or loneliness
farewell to all of you
I couldn't find love for me and you
now as my clock speaks another time
I realize that life is the crime
now my body lies in a wooden coffin
six feet under in my grave
something's creeping on my chin
and it's warm, quiet and I feel save
farewell to all of you
I couldn't find trust for me and you
I see your tears so I'm happy
there's no need to cry for me
the meaning of life is an unimportant question
when you're six feet under
the whole life I lived and all I've done
there's nothing I've won
farewell to all of you
I couldn't find hope in me and you
all the lies I don't have to hear any more
and that's the live you're used to live for
the pain in life is an unknown feeling
when you're six feet under
was I too scared to live or too young to die?
tell me why
the meaning of life is an unimportant question
when you're six feet under
was I too scared to live or too young to die?
tell me why

Take away the pain

Take away the pain
Johnny was just 18 when his car hit the tree
they said he was drunk and much too fast
luckily he was thrown out 'cause the car burned at once
his girlfriend had no chance, she died that day
now look at poor Johnny, he's shattered and confused
trying to kill the memories in his head
but every now and then the pictures come back
sometimes he thinks he'd be better off dead
take away the pain
save me from going insane
sometimes poor Johnny frightens up at night
the pangs of conscience steel his sleep
the more he tries to push away the more he has to realize
you cannot wipe out memories
Johnny was just 18 and now he's 29
he considered this step for so long
they say time is a healer you just have to carry on
but the pain was just too strong

Loser
you failed a million times
you're not able to win your mind
there is no way you can find
you're the greatest loser in the world
I know that is you
and you know that it is true
and it will always be the same
you try but you miss the aim
there is no use for you to cry
and you ask, you ask me why
why does this happen to me
You're a loser so can't you see
You're the greatest loser in the world
desperation growing every day
it's a long way to get away
and it will always be the same
you'll try hard but you miss the aim
you'll miss the aim, you'll miss the aim
it will always be the same
you'll try hard but you miss the aim
be the same, be the same, it will be the same
everything you do you'll miss the aim

In the army
there are some brainless people
they've got nothing better to do
than to fight for religion, the state, the race
you're ready, proud and a slave
just like little Rambos
pretending to be so cool
to be in the army now
is the last hope for them fools
you wear a uniform
to build up your weak personality
like a sheep in the drove
in this game you have no say
just like little rambos
pretending to be so cool
to be in the army now
is the last hope for them fools

The art of making enemies
he doesn't like to talk and when he speaks it is to hurt
full of suspicion, friendship is an unknown word
offensive appearance, affection denied
a contemptuous attitude towards everyone who tries to be polite
hiding behind an angry face
it is too late before he sees
that it won't, it won't pay out
the art of making enemies
the art of making enemies
don't try to tell me, you don't need anyone
when you insult me, I know you feel alone
and you may show off, but you are not that strong
accept the helping hands before they all are gone
hiding behind an angry face
it is too late before he sees
that it won't, it won't pay out
the art of making enemies
the art of making enemies
my friend!

Nuts about butts
I'll go out tonight
you'll be there, too
I'm gonna get me some fun
and so will you
everybody's there, you're pretty late
you better hurry up to catch your special date
no one gets out, there's nowhere to hide
get a grip below my hip
yes you are so horny tonight
and you touch, touch, touch
you're nuts about butts
you're nuts about butts
everyone is through
your job is done
a grin on your face
did you have fun
only for tonight you're satisfied
goodbye then we'll meet again
if you want to fuck tonight
don't ask me
look for our green helpers
they do it for free

Bye bye
now he's sitting in his room
staring at the wall he's realizing
somehow things went wrong
a piece of paper in his hand
just a short 'good bye'
and he recalls the words that she said
why, why won't you try to get along
living without me
why is love not built to last
feelings once so true
are someday replaced by reality
and all happened so fast
now it is too late
and he recalls the words that she said
why, why won't you try to get along
living without me
bye bye, bye bye, bye bye...

Kill your friends

Kill your friends
don't try to be honest
teach your grandmother to suck eggs
and don't be in the club
when you're on your last leg
you have to bite the bullet
they are marching with the company
are you in the same situation like me
so kill your friends
before they kill you
the shit is going to hit the fan
you worked your ass off
and you're choking in the whole shit
they run away, they fuck off
so give them a smile
and throw it all at them
don't give a damn
and fuck your friends
before they fuck you
friends are boring
friends aren't good
friends are beastly
friends are in need of food
so eat your friends
before they eat you
