Worn out words
02:17
|
|

|
Worn out words and platitudes, the more they talk the less we understand
Shoved around in circles
Like pieces of dirt while the oppressive forces alter back and forth
Between left and right [x2]
You went caught in the middle
Between a rock and a hard place
Raise their own salaries, increase the gap of social standards between themselves and the people they're supposed to represent
Someone please explain
(Someone pleas explain)
Tell me where's that welfare state that they speak so highly of
Yeah, tell me where's that welfare state that they speak so highly of
Do we need more people living on the streets, do we need more people living on the streets before they'll open up their eyes?
Choose between the lesser of two evils, vote for none of the above, do we really have a choice anyway?

Wishing you were here
01:58

Saw a recent picture of you, it brought tears to my eyes when I realized that it's been so long, too long since I saw you last
And I felt the distance cut like a blade through my wirst, you looked different somehow
Older perhaps
Different somehow
I used to think we'd never be too far away from each other but it feels like we're growing apart
And the absence of you is leaving
A hollow space in my heart
[x2] Guess you're happy where you are but I can't help wishing you were here
(Guess you're happy) [x2]

What ever

I have my opinions and I try to stick to them, call me childish if you want
But I guess the concept of that depends on who sets the norm
And if submitting to the expectations of our surrounding means growing up
I'll try wholeheartedly to refuse and I hope you're wrong, you say I'm acting like a kid and one day I'll grow out of it
There's clearly a difference on what we define as significant matters
But isn't it funny how everything that's important to me is trivial to you?
And it's hard not to notice when you express yourself so explicitly with harsh words and pleasantries to ridicule me
(Harsh words)
Harsh words
(Harsh words)
So many harsh words
I have my opinions and I try to stick to them, call me childish if you want
But I guess the concept of that depends on who sets the norm
And if submitting to the expectations of our surrounding means growing up
I'll try wholeheartedly to refuse and I hope you're wrong, you say I'm acting like a kid and one day I'll grow out of it
You can say whatever you might have to say 'bout me
But that doesn't mean that I have got to give a shit

Blissfully ignorant
01:01
|
|
||
|
Yeah, I agree with you there's a lot of shit in this world but it's not in my backyard so it's really not my problem
Disinclined, safe from knowing better
Just lean back and sit comfortably
[x2] It has nothing to do with me
(Nothing to do with me) [x2]
Blissfully ignorant
Uh, I don't care
Uh, I don't care, I'm happy where I am
Blissfully ignorant

The boss told the worker should be glad that he's got a job
There's a lot of people out there who in fact do not
So don't join the union boy, "is that an implicit threat?"
Set us up 'gainst each other, divide and conquer, fire me if you want but I won't back down, it just ain't fair that you should benefit from us being overworked and underpaid
So the boss pays on of his employees a little bit more, "keep an eye on the others" but the workers united
(Will never be invaded)
Yeah, the workers united
(Will never be invaded)
So fuck you very much
Yeah, fuck you very much indeed
That's the story so far of Gonzo Babbleshit [x2]
So don't join the union boy, "is that an implicit threat?"
Set us up 'gainst each other, divide and conquer, fire me if you want but I won't back down, it just ain't fair that you should benefit while I'm trying so hard to get
Paid

Out of touch
02:33
|
|
||
|
I remember when we started
And this was not what we wanted, seems we lost perspective of our goal to have fun in the first place
Cause right now this feels more like a day-job to me
And my head aches, sore from countless sleepless nights, overcome by stress
The pressure of a time schedule and short, short coffee breaks
But when I search through photographs reminiscing good times we've had
I know you get that feeling back
Yeah, we can get that feeling back if we put down a little time and effort to
Manifest our independence, regain control
(Regain control)
Have we taken it this far to leave it in the hands of someone else
Who'll be making decisions we should be making ourselves?
Someone we don't even know, someone we've never met, miles away from here
(Miles away from here)
Yeah, we can get that feeling back if we put down a little time and effort to
Manifest our independence
(Regain control) [x2]
And everything's so out of reach and everyone's so out of touch, just wanna get back to where we started [x2]
|

8. |
Discontent
00:44
|
|
||
|
We feel compelled to express our discontent and that direction to days back, some things have changed but we haven't noticed, really don't think you give a shit, nothing here will bother this insulation, killing our will and inspiration, someones's decides it but we just can't buy, the talent forces will never die
|
||||
9. |
Big bad wolf
01:47
|
|
||
|
[x2] There's nothing wrong with having dreams and trying to fullfill them
Cause there's no easy answers, life's a never ending lesson, never know what's around the corner unless we go there and see for ourselves, discover what lies hidden in time
We don't know what we can achive unless we try, we don't know what we can achive [x2]
Somebody save me
Somebody save me from the big bad wolf, somebody save me from the big bad wolf, somebody save me from the big bad wolf called reality
|

10. |
Institutionalized murder
01:46
|
|
||
|
We don't have to feel it
The pain behind what we are served, just food on a plate, a disintegrated creature
(How much do we know)
About what we eat and where it comes from?
We know we are superior
But we sure as hell don't act responsible, no, instead we inseminate, force feed and cage them
And we call ourselves civilized
(Call ourselves human)
Yeah, we're so fucking civilized when we act like savages and speak of a higher morality
We wash the blood from our hands as we
Institutionalize murder
We wash the blood from our
We wash the blood from our hands
Will the cloning of animals bring us to a new dimension of cruelty, a step further on the scale of efficiency of production?
I mean we already inseminate, force feed and cage them
Yeah, we're so fucking civilized

That song
01:49
|
|
||
|
I could write a thousand songs about my anger but it wouldn't change a thing in this world
I know that for a fact but it makes me feel a whole lot better
That's why I do this in the first place
I could write a thousand songs about my anger but it wouldn't change a thing in this world
I know that for a fact but it makes me feel a whole lot better, that's why I do this in the first place
It's not my purpose to speak for anyone else, hold no answers
Nor solutions, that song can only bring consolation for a while but it cannot act on your behalf so if you are aware and you know where the problem hides, don't sit around blaming it on society, that song might be a tool of revolution but it sure ain't meant as a commodity so
Sing along to the slogan filled refrain but don't let it numb your brain, change doesn't come in any song
That song won't save us [x2]
|

12. |
Lean onto you
02:42
|
|
||
|
The way you look at me with your thoughtful blue eyes makes my heart smile and the sound of your sweet, unrestrained laughter fills my whole world with joy
It feels so good having you around, you cheer me up when I feel down, I can lean onto you
You support me in everything I do, when I give up you give me hope and I hope one day I'll find a way to show you how much you mean to me
It feels so good having you around, you cheer me up when I feel down, I can lean onto you
I think it's long and it's
Simple the proximity, I think it's long and it's
Complex inclusively
When I feel down I can lean onto you [x3]
[x2] (Lean onto you)
When I feel down I can lean onto you [x2]

Traditional security
01:30
|
|

|
He comes home late from work, expects dinner to be served, a big steak cause real men need meat, has two kids already, a third one on the way and a grown man who takes her for granted
(So many dreams)
So much potential settled for traditional security
Life's a scary game to play where men set the rules
And men possess all the assets
Hits her heart then comes crawling back with tears in his eyes to apologize
She looks in the mirror
A black eye stares back at her
Wishing she hadn't been so afraid
To stand on her own but it's never to late to take control of her life
Might be a scary game to play where men set the rules
And men possess all the assets but girls kick ass too

Evil III
01:33
|
|
||
|
Yeah
I'm the son of a evil one
That's right, I'm the devil's son
Werewolf when the full moon shines, turn to witch round Eastertown
Evil
Oh, evil
And down by the river your blood will run like a river
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gimme some sugar baby
