In the name of progress
hey tell me what it means
Does it include the countries raped
and the people you've enslaved?
Cheap labour good labour poor labour and lied to labour
Your philosophy is profit and it includes no such things as human needs no
In the name of progress
hey tell me what it means
Does it include paying cops
to clean up union sympathies?
Cheap labour good labour poor labour and lied to labour
The weapon is called enterprise and it's pointed at the casualties of slavery
And as the world leaders bury their heads in the sand
the exploitation continues...
In the name of progress
hey tell me what it means
Does it include your attempts
to divide this world in master/slave?
Cheap labour good labour poor labour and lied to labour
I cry for all the people abused and used in the name of progress...

Based on inheritance we subscribe to old traditions
These traditions don't include compassion
these traditions don't include equality
Based on ignorance we cling on to old traditions
these traditions suppress individuality
these traditions suppress natural needs
I can't even explain how much I hate it
the way we're herded into our positions
I can't even explain how much I hate it
our lives are made up before we even live them
Based on our own greed we refuse to see other options
these options include compassion and equality
these options include individuality
I can't even explain how much I hate it
the way we're herded into our positions
I can't even explain how much I hate it
our lives are made up before we even live them

Doubtful

I listen to my own soothing words
I cover myself so I won't see the world
if anyone could see me I would cave in
my mind's not really made for living
Can I, can I (is it too much to ask)
have a little peace of mind
I can't imagine being someone else
but sometimes it feels just like an easy way
I manage to control my way of being
maybe I should try and let it rest
Can I can I (is it too much to ask)
have a little peace of mind
What if I feel fine
what if I feel nice
what if I feel great
do I know what I really feel
Can I can I (is it too much to ask)
have a little peace of mind...

It's not about me
01:46
|
|

Sometimes I feel I can't see my own actions
I reach inside and feel my spirit sinking
I turn around and see the unknown faces
I listen but I can't hear what I'm thinking
It's not about me anymore
It's not about me
I ask myself is it way too late for changing
I think I might be right but who is judging
I can't decide if I do make a difference
I try to tell myself I'm making progress
It's not about me anymore
It's not about me
Make me right
please decide
make things right
I can't decide
It's not about me anymore
It's not about me...

Your morality is broken
01:12
|
|
||
You fucking self-righteous bigot
You teach your children to hate
and forbid them to question
Your morality is broken
Your morality is cruel
Pass your fears onto your children
your hatred and your prejudice
You fucking disciple of christian values
Your fear has laid the groundwork for oppression
Your morality is broken
Your morality is cruel
pass your fears onto your children
your cowardice and greed
If your god exists he's a racist
if your god exists he's a sexist
if your god exists he's a homophobe
Your god is full of hate and your religion is a lie...

Phone in sick

Goodbye, I resign
I failed to fit into your adult world
I know I gave up and I let you down
I tried to grab the carrot but I stumbled and fell
Goodbye, I resign
I failed to be a part of your norm
I'll turn myself in and you'll hate me for doing so
the carrot I had slipped out of my hands
Beat the leaderhorse there's blood on the track
Your values were never my friends
I phone in sick I will never go back
to where you put me in line, no!
"We have such high hopes for you
if you stop acting like a child"
but this child is all I have
this child is all I am
Beat the leaderhorse there's blood on the track
Your values were never my friends
I phone in sick I will never go back
to where you put me in line, no!

Character-builder
01:41

Traditions tells us to stand in line and be good citizens,
to take pride in our loyalty
go through life with a sense of duty
and a sense of accomplishment
Our constitution says that obedience builds character...
The freedom to vote is just a big fucking joke,
it only gives us a new set of leaders
to keep the power up at high
and to fan the flames of complete stagnation
Our constitution says that obedience builds character...
Our blind obedience and willing to accept their regulations
cannot lead anywhere else but to the destruction
of our own individuality
Our constitution says that obedience builds character,
THAT'S A FUCKING LIE!!!

Your world of noones
02:16
|
|
||
Time is running out for you
just like the even flow of your own lies
Time was never on your side
but you were too self-righteous to even notice
Your problems are taking over
soon you've got noone on your side
Life wasn't too kind to you I know
but it gives you no right to be a martyr
Life makes its own rules
but you're far too ignorant to face the truth
Your problems are taking over
soon you've got noone on your side
You're number one in a world of noones
flying false flag won't get you far...

Oppression as they wash their hands
in their own incapacity
first we gave them our colours
but now we kick them back to a life of oppression
And just as easy as our state transforms
lives into files they chase down the weak,
line them up and cut them down
It's their blood on your hands
history can't wash it away
Can you bear the conscience for their pain
and their suffering?
It's ignorance as they wash their hands
in their own bliss
A government death-squad performs
ethnic cleansing
And our state will gladly make the arrangements
send the lambs back to slaughter
to a religious fascist genocide regime
It's their blood on your hands
history can't wash it away
Can you bear the conscience for their pain
and their suffering?
Our silence sanctionizes genocide
Silence itself is a form of oppression!
Feel their suffering and their pain...

One bite of your world is enough to spit it out
One bite is enough to make me sick
First I despised you now I pity you
You're truly a slave to what you own
Your whole life is based on wealth
it's not difficult to see that you suffer from your own greed
You're a slave to property
so tell me how am I supposed to envy you
Luxury consumes you in your self-made cage
in your prison where the bars are made of gold
Yes I despised you but now I pity you
You have everything served and do you know
your life requires that a portion of the population
agrees to settle for nothing
The gaps get wider, the rich get richer,
the poor are getting poorer
I am telling you...
From this day beginning now
I will do anything to fight you!
Your life requires that a portion of the population

Dividing lines
01:44
|
|

I'm not afraid no more
These walls we've built
it's about time we tear them down
These walls are only there to separate
what is unity worth when there only are complaints
I'm not afraid, are you?
There are far too many dividing lines
These lines are only there to separate
and to illuminate the lack of unity
Fuck the borders, fuck the dividing lines
Communication that's what it's all about
Unite to win...
I'm not afraid no more
With sincerity and honesty
how can we go wrong
Break down the walls only there to separate
We're all in this together it might not be too late
Fuck the borders, fuck the dividing lines
Communication that's what it's all about
Unite to win...
I'm not afraid...

I've always been impressed with a girl
Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well
That's the way I am
heaven help me
He said we don't like peace campaigners round here
As he nailed another one to the wall
And that's what gets me in trouble
heaven help me
Goodbye and good luck
To all the promises you've broken
Goodbye and good luck
To all the rubbish that you've spoken
Your life has lost its dignity
Its beauty and its passion
You're an accident waiting to happen
There you are standing at the bar
And you're giving me grief about the DDR
And that chip on your shoulder get bigger as you get older
One of these nights you're gonna get caught
It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought
You're a dedicated swallower of fascism
Time up and time out
For all the liberties you've taken
Time up and time out
For all the friends that you've forsaken
If you chose to waste away
Like death is back in fashion
You're an accident waiting to happen
My sins are so unoriginal
I have all the self loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing
In this carnival of carnivores
heaven help me

A job for real men
01:25
|
|

Somewhere inside your empty head
you think you're working-class
but you corrupt the whole idea
with your "white aryan pride"
Solidarity to you,
the word is just a curse
An illusion in your world
where only the strong survive
Everything is alright,
you may have your "white aryan war"
Everything is alright,
but you will be the first ones to go!
A job for real men a job for real saints
a world for real men a world for real saints (?)
Everything is alright,
you may have your "white aryan war"
Everything is alright,
but you will be the first ones to go!
A job for real men a job for real saints...

Even though you will never understand
it seems like your definition of punk is in the bottle in your hand
All I see in your "alternative lifestyle"
is a fashion clown just going through a phase
Your life is for you to live it,
but please don't use punk as a cheap excuse
for acting like an idiot!
All I see in your "alternative lifestyle"
is a fashion clown just going through a phase
Make sure the hole you're digging
is deep enough for you to fall down...
