Lyrics

1. FREE YOUR HATE

Silence is golden
Ingorance bliss
Better off not asking
What you'd rather forget

And as the vice grip choke holds
All of our freedoms are meeting their end
And for the wars they wage
Numberless troops lie wounded or dead

The beatings will continue
Until morale improves

Free your hate
Crusade in the days of rage
Perilous folly
Rise up against your fate
Free your hate
Crusade in the days of rage
Tireless cunning
Stampede and break your chains

Terror at gunpoint
Torture at large
Enemy combatant
Labeled a threat
Without trial or charge

Repetition of history
Messenger, prophet, martyr for god
All for once and for all
Reclaim your power
The tyrant must fall

The beatings will continue
Until morale improves


2. HAU RUCK

Malt doch nicht immer
Den teufel an die wand
Euer ewiges gewimmer
Kostet den verstand

Krempelt hoch die ärmel und
Atmet tief durch
Wir werden es schon schaffen
Trotzet eurer furcht

An deck jetzt alle
Drauf und dran
Spuckt in die hände
Packen wir's an

Hau ruck
Ruck zuck

Macht gute meine
Zum bitterbösen spiel
Ihr habt nichts zu verlieren doch
Gewinnen könnt ihr viel

Schnallt den gürtel enger
Nähret euren zorn
Den letzten kriegen die hunde
Schaut entschlossen nur nach vorn

Zusammen jetzt alle
Zieht den karren aus dem dreck
Unsere rücken unsere fäuste nur das
Mittel zum zweck


3. YOU'RE NO GOOD

Deceitful unforgiving
Whoever the hell you think I am
Bring me to my knees
Let me be myself again
Forgive, forget
Hold it against me in contempt
Drowning me in tears
Bitter salt that knows no fear

I'm better off alone
Keep to myself so nobody knows
Misery follows me everywhere I go

Hello hello I'm back again
Run run run run while you can
Hello hello I'm back it's me
The mother load of misery
You're no good
Misery follows me wherever I go

Deranged in paranoia
I am just no use at all
Don't count on me
I won't be responsible

Punishing discontent
Gotta get a grip
My mind's working overtime
Twisting in a tourniquet
Ticking like a timebomb
Another pound of flesh
Red alert emergency
I'm headed for a crash

To have to hold
All in good time
I'd ruin that too
I'm better off alone
Keep to myself
So nobody knows
Misery follows me wherever I go


4. NEW AMERICAN CENTURY

Count your blessings
Walk the line
Don't move too fast
Or fall behind
There are rules you must obey
They get re-written by the day
Don't do this - don't say that
Your every move is logged and tracked
By the all oppressive eye
Spy satellites in friendly skies

The new american century
Has only just begun
No one exempt from the tragedy
Counterattack start pushing back

Fight the power
That chokes your speech
Fight the power
That makes you bleed
Fight the power
That propogates lies
To keep you weak
Keep you in line
Fight the power that reigns you in
Divides and conquers
Defines your sin
Fight the power
For one and all
Before the power swallows us whole

No one dares to say a word
Our panic drives all human herds
In the land where cash is king
Our silence bought and sold for free
The future's banging on our door
When real I.D. will be the law
Love thy neighbor and turn him in
It's call patriotism

The world is watching in disbelief
Chanting shame on you
How can you stand by so quietly
Letting them rape your liberties

You can't be bothered or concerned
You see no reason for alarm
Prejudice, religion hate
Usher in new mandate
Absolute and resolved
One nation under one god
Lack of interest has its price
As we're stripped of all our rights

Those who cannot learn from history
Are doomed to repeat it!


5. REAL THING

Cracking under pressure violently
Chaos eats away the best of me
A former shadow of myself
Porcelain doll, just an empty shell
Bug in amber that can't be reached
Choking on fear that stings like bleach

Gimme the real thing
Gimme the life
Give me something deep
Something straight
Like a sharpened knife
Gimme the real thing
Give me the life
Gimme a fresh start,
Like a new born child
Gimme the real thing

I have no friends
I'm always by myself
I cannot pacify my shame and doubt
Drained them dry
And damned them all to hell
I've no control or any will to stop

Everything perfect just melts away
I've got the touch like evil prey
Talking pictures in black and white
Spitting their venom back at mine

Everything old is new again
My only crime buried under cold skin
In the quiet of my tiger's eye
Cross my heart and hope to die


6. EVERY DAY'S A GOOD DAY

The biggest mistake was to let you near me
I'm speaking to you but you won't ever hear me
Close to the touch but aeons away
On a distant planet on another day

I thought we were even I hoped it was cool
Your guilty pleasures made you a fool
I extended it all but you turned it to dreck
You keep trashing my name and stabbing my back

I shall not be terrorized
You will pay for all those lies

And every day's a good day to die
Fucka, fucka, die, mutha fucka, bye-bye

A spewing volcano of distortion and hate
You plead and beg me to spare your fate
You evoke our friendship and the days of old
But I know a dish that's best served cold

The gleaming blade a muffled cry
You won't live to testify

I gave you it all
I let you perform
You sowed the wind now you'll reap the storm
In the coldest blood steady-handed
I take no prisoners the eagle has landed

Idiot!


7. MINI MINI MINI

Petit, petit, petit
Tout est mini dans notre vie
Mini-moke et mini-jupe
Mini-moche et lilliput
Il est mini Docteur Schweitzer
Mini mini ça manque d'air
Mini-jupe et mini-moque
Miniature de quoi j'me moque
Ministère et terminus
Minimum et minibus

Petit, petit, petit
Tout est mini dans notre vie
Mini-moke et mini-jupe
Mini-moche et lilliput
Il est mini Docteur Schweitzer
Mini mini ça manque d'air
Mini, mini, mini
Mini, mini, mini, mini

Moi je préfère les maxis
Maxi-moke et maxi-jupe
Maxi-moche et maxi-pute
Il est maxi Docteur Schweitzer
Maxi maxi ça respire l'air
Maxitère et termaxus
Maximum et maxibus
Maxistère et termaxus
Maximum et maxibus
Maxistère et termaxus


8. PROFESSIONAL KILLER

Conquer your world
Study you quietly
Count the ways
I'll do anything you say
There will be no holding back
Legions of me

So cruel
Longing eternally
Bitter sweet possibilities
A tiger on the attack
Ready to bleed

Tragically yours
Obey and submit to me
I will find you
Wherever you hide
Got a thrill for the hunt
A skilled criminal mind

So calm
Tracking your every move
Unrelenting my conscious clear
Beyond a shadow of doubt
A force to be feared

Wretched and pure
Tricky and dangerous
Do not question
Or challenge your fate
A promise written in blood
Take life for pay

Yours is not to ask why
Yours is to do and die
Professional killer


9. FEED OUR FAME

Watch you as you eat your own
Half truths mixed with lies
Defending what you think you know
Changing stories all the time
Talking til your face is blue
Tripping on your words
Righteous in your knowledge
But you haven't got a clue
Laughing as the web you weave
Tangles til you choke
We are here and still the same
It's you that has become the joke

We are the ones you love to hate
Sleaze makes you wet below
Aching for a taste
Nothing but the best for you
All your little fits and starts
Crumbs that satiate
Urban legend drama
Only serves to feed our fame
Feed our fame

Our celebrated legacy
No flimsy house of cards
Hero worship or disdain
We take you all
For what you are
Chitter chatter jabber
You're the pilot to our shark
We've toured these oceans long before
Our territory firmly marked

We are the ones you love to hate
Sleaze makes you wet below
Aching for a taste
Nothing but the best for you
All your little fits and starts
Crumbs that satiate
Only make us stronger
Only serve to feed our fame
Feed our fame


10. READY TO BLOW

I can hardly breathe
Lost and hopeless
Down so low
Something died inside
I just can't believe it
Violent tendancies
Murder, madness
Good gone bad
Try to talk about it
Nobody believes me

Static in my head
Lines blur red
Got my mind made up
And my trigger finger ready to blow
Finger on the trigger I'm a barrel of a gun
Ready to blow

Life draws out of me
Spent and broken
All mixed up
Crying out in vain
Somebody release me
Evil speaks to me
Caustic rage I've no control
A living hell of hate
Sinister deceiving

Out of my mind in this fucked up head
I want everything that I never had
A little something a reason why
Ready to blow I'm ready to die
Depart this world on a silver bullet
I never believed I would ever pull it
Now's the time, here's my show
Ready to go I'm ready to blow

Time stands still for me
Black and blistered
Drown my sleep
Let thy will be done
Make it out quick and easy


11. AUF WIEDERSEH'N

Alt und müde
Fett und kahl
Ausgesetzt im jammertal
Dumpf und trübe
Hohl und leer
Aus dir wird ganz bestimmt nicht mehr

Nimmermehr

Schwach und grau
Der blanke hohn
Scher dich fort
Du stinkst ja schon
Ab der lack
Aus der traum
Schall und rauch
Das nackte grauen

Aber ich
But I
Ich bleib nicht stehen
Will never stop
Es muss weitergehen
It must go on
Auf wiederseh'n!
Aber ich

But I
Ich bleib nicht stehen
Will never stop
Es muss weitergehen
Not for you
Auf wiederseh'n!

Die letzte fahrt für's alte wrack
Aus der traum und
Ab der lack
Schluss vorbei
Die luft ist raus,br. Spiel zu ende
Ofen aus

Dreckschleuder
Rattenfänger
Ausrangiert
Abgeschossen
Durchgeknallt
Abserviert
Umgestürzt
Eingesackt
Angeschmiert
Abgekackt
Abgekürzt
Abgefuckt
Und ausradiert

Ab der lack
Aus der traum
Schall und rauch
Das nackte grauen
Schluss vorbei
Die luft ist raus
Spiel zu ende
Ofen aus

Schatten deiner selbst
Lügenverschwörung
Gift und schnaps
Und selbst zerströrung
Ausradiert
Verlorene zeit
Folterqual in ewigkeit
