Remember the old days
When everything used to be fine
You changed a lot as you grew old
Nowadays your sky is gray,
Your veins are fi lled with poison
Feel like a zombie
Feel like not going anywhere
You’re not alone but on your own
Anyways, we’re all robots and we are living a lie
Well it’s a sad world after all
And after all you’ve seen
The witness of a world that could
Or should have never been
And everywhere I look I see
So many mouths to feed
Disasters by the hundreds
and it’s too late to redeem
Although you cannot quite afford
To look back on your fallen dreams
How many more will have to die
To start to make us realise
How many more still have to die
Who’s gonna tell us what to do
Our expectations fade away
I’m just like you
Hope is a distant memory

Flavor Of The Weak
01:58
|

Everything is so nice and clean
And your food looks more like plastic than protein
Television is gonna make us stars
Yet we don’t care about the confl icts afar
We wanna live our lives inside a screen
A shot of collagen to forget the spleen
When the night comes we stay locked up at home
The outside world is a perilous zone
Mass-Media Domination
Now’s the time to scare the nation
Never trust the screen
What you see is never what it seems
And our values are drifting away
Everything is a lie
A chemical reaction in your brain
And the whole world is going astray

Damages Done
01:41
|

It’s hard to believe that it came to an end
It’s hard to conceive that you did it again
But we’re such a mess, drowned in raw fallacies
Unacceptable is what you did to me
Forgive and forget, it’s more complex than that
When trust is all gone it might never come back
There’s no time enough to waste
in brawls and arguments
It hurts both of us but I’d rather be alone
Well I’m not to blame if you regret
what you have done
We’re parting ways, too bad for you,
What’s done is done

PhD In Punk
02:38
|
|||
Didn’t go to school long enough,
Got kicked out way too early
I wasn’t quite social enough,
I got too many enemies
I wasn’t cool, not very smart
and far from being funny
I was bound to live in the basements of society
I’ll never be a somebody,
I’m not gonna grow old peacefully
I’ll never retire in Miami, cuz’ I ain’t got no money
I don’t know shit about anything,
Except for a thing or three
Out in the streets is where I got my PhD
Here’s to Crass, Black Flag and The Ramones
To all our friends in the gutters and the clubs
To all the misfi ts all around the world,
Awake until the break of dawn
To anyone always a day late and a buck short
And if you’re not one of them, then you’re one of us
So raise a glass and sing along and be alive
If you feel like you have no reason to live,
then you are straight welcome to the club,
You’ll get your Phd in Punk, It’ll be allright

Swan Song Forever
02:48
|
|||
This one goes out to all our peers,
Down in the basements, up in top-fl oor fl ats
For all of the outcasts with their hearts full of pride,
Because only passion is where it’s at
This is for not getting paid,
But sharing a priceless bond,
Tired at the crack of dawn but fulfi lled
With the satisfaction
Of endless chats of records, of concerts and bands
This is for all the guys like us,
Who never got tired of their favorite tunes
And this is dedicated to anyone
Still believing in punk-rock unity
This is about this brilliant day,
When our lives got changed for good
That record that kept spinning around
And would eventually defi ne us
For the rest of our lives
Let’s have our fun altogether
Singing our swan song forever
The world might as well just crumble away
We’ll dance and sing and we will have our say
We know that the world has gone awry
And we know that we’re gonna die
But not without a song and not without a fight
Not without a sing-a-long that goes
Through the night
We’re not gonna die
Not without a fight
That goes through the night

To Change And Succeed
02:45
|
|||
So you wake up one fi ne day
And half your life has passed
And you’re getting nervous
About the stuff you never had
The wrong choices you’ve made,
That led you where you are
The things you should have known,
The aim you never really found
But you gotta admit it, Yeah it’s time to confess
The blame is all on you for having never even tried
To do the things for fun,
And just because you can
And when you look at the old man,
In the mirror in front of you
Through washed out eyes
You perceive a worn-out life
And the clock caught up on you
And made you really tired
And yet you gotta think
About pushing things forward
Nobody really wants to spend his life complaining
Nobody wants to listen to
Your never-ending moans
Cuz He not busy being born is busy dying
And the only thing you like,
The only thing you know
Is to play this goddamn guitar yeah
But how far will it go
When you have a family and friends
Counting on you
And you can’t aff ord to show them
All the scars and the doubts
It already happened once, contemplating suicide
Well it won’t solve anything,
Only make a few really sad
So you pretend that you’re fine,
But inside you’re burning!
You gotta try to
Change and succeed
But that’s no easy way
Change and succeed
There ain’t no other way

Zero Intolerance
02:09
|

To all our brothers and sisters from the LGBT
Anyone down by the prejudice of society
To all the convicts of a “crime” that isn’t one at all
To anyone willing to fi ght, this is a wake-up call
So many times I’ve heard people calling for unity
They talk about tolerance and life in community
But why be anti racist when you’re a homophobe
Let’s make no diff erence! Zero intolerance
Be who you wanna be
Or be who you feel like bein’
It doesn’t matter much to me
You’re just another human being
Do what you wanna do
Make sure you do what makes you happy
You can be anyone it’s true
It’s all the fuckin’ same to me
To all our brothers and sisters from the LGBT
There ain’t no problems with a little more variety
To all the convicts of a “crime” that isn’t one at all
Let’s make no diff erence! Zero intolerance

Superficialistic
02:27
|
|||
6 am and I’m crawling out of bed again
Coffee, Shower, Coffee
And I’m running out of time again
Riding the bus with my fellow zombie faced friends
Not enjoying this once, but praying for an end
Oh my dog, How did I end up like this
Working 9 to 5, but ignorance is bliss
So I just keep on doing it, everyday I’m doing it
Staring at a screen all day, wasting life away
Hey ! I don’t wanna work today
I just wanna stay at home
I just wanna run away
Hey ! I’m not gonna work today
I would rather have a drink
Lay down in the sun and sleep all day!
Just like anyone I want a lifetime party
I wanna sleep late
And do this again and again and will
Travel the world, I’ll never come back
I’ll ride a Mercedes and be superficial

A Life Well Wasted
01:32
|
|||
A life of frustration
A life without luck
A life where you do what you do for the buck
A life without purpose, a life without God
This life that we live is a life well wasted
Not knowing where we come from
And with nowhere to go
Sitting on a bench of confusion
And disappointment
Not approving what we are
but still going with the flow
What else do you expect than panic
Or recurrent depression
A life way too long or a life much too short
A life with no exit with no last resort
A life where we fuck up, a life where we kill
This life that we live is a life well wasted
Not in control of our fate but still part of the show
Not agreeing with the concept of a test to undergo

The Social Ladder
02:14
|
|||
Here’s a song that they’re gonna sing
All the way to the back of the food stamp line
A few words that are gonna bring hope
And peace in shelters everywhere
It’s a song you might think about,
Whatever lousy job that you’re in
If you struggle to keep your head up high
Feel like you’re not going anywhere
The world is unfair
And it doesn’t care
Whether you are going to make it or not
The social ladder
Is a slippery trail
Life is confusion
So don’t fear exclusion
It’s not going to last long anyway
We’re all gonna plunge
Down the social ladder
Someday…

Backlash
01:29
|
|||
Throw them away ! You’ve got plans,
But you’re gonna fall
Through the darkness you’re gonna crawl
Give it all up ! Admit defeat once and for all
You’re still alive, but you’re approaching a black hole
There is a dark and threatening cloud in front of you
There’s no one around to blame or to hold onto
The shit that you’ve done,
Is about to snap back at you!
Enjoy the void !

Võõras Sõda
03:25
|
|||
Eesti mehed läksid sõtta ei tea mille eest
Hoolimata emade ja laste silmaveest
Võõras oli rahvas võõras oli keel
Mille eest nad elu jätsid võõral sõjateel
Küsimuse ees nüüd seisis eesti talumats
Ole mees ja vali oled punane või nats
Mõnigi mees sihtis seal oma lihast venda
Kui läks mööda maha nottis väikevend ta enda
Eesti mehed eesti mehed suures ilmasõjas
Näitasid et neid ei häiri surm ja vereojad
Teineteist seal maha tapsid vennad isad pojad
Eesti mehed eesti mehed suures ilmasõjas
Ära mine kallis poiss seda teed ei minda
See tobe sõda pole väärt su noore elu hinda
Sealt võid saada kuuli pähe või siis täägi rinda
Suudlema jääd mitmeks päevaks
Võõrast mullapinda
Poiss ei kuula läheb ikka vaatamata taha
Paarikümne meetri pärast langeb näoli maha
Jällegi on surma saand üks eesti idioot
Enda meelest kangelane vist või patrioot
Teised veel said veidi aega olla kaevikuis
Põgenevad põlluhiired võisid kuulda kuis
Laulsid nad veel viimast korda kangest koduõlust
Mahajäänud talust ja eesti naise ilust
