1. YOU IGNORE THEM ALL

The conflict has been fierce from the start.
Too many people, a lot of brain, a lot of heart.
Building the foundation of violence to be.
Bloodstain on the VCR, radio and the TV.

Acting like we didn't see this coming.
Ignoring all the bombings
And the war with the king
Who's pulling the strings.
He's on top of the food chain,
But without the wings.
Without the wings.
Without the wings.

I can't (live with this)
Need to take a stand
(We need to resist.)
If nothing really happens
I'm truly ashamed
And I might start a riot
And take full blame.

Sending your judgements on the weaker, poorer,
Sicker. You ignore them all because you're smaller.
And you want to put yourself up in the sky,
Can I ask you why?
[x2]

I know I should be better
But I can't take this shit
I'm just a stupid guy
I'm the first to admit.
You say you have no part.
I'm not gonna buy it.
The same type of lie,
I got a big supply of it.

Acting like we didn't see this coming.
Ignoring all the bombings
And the war with the king
Who's pulling the strings.
He's on top of the food chain,
But without the wings.
Without the wings.
Without the wings.

Sending your judgements on the weaker, poorer,
Sicker. You ignore them all because you're smaller.
And you want to put yourself up in the sky,
Can I ask you why?

2. PERFECTLY BROKEN

First came the shock then came the pain.
Then came the waves and washed the pain away.
The TV, magazine and DVD,
You ego wannabe, want to be on TV.
Secondly, and remember this perfectly,
That even though you disagree
I feel free to tell everyone about you and me
And the stupidity, that lays deep within.

Sitting here in my locked up living room.
Trying to find a good TV-show to consume.
But as I lay my pride aside,
Fury rises inside.
And I can't hide that I'm angry,
And I must admit that I feel sorry,
For you and everyone around you.
Call it friendship or not.

I remember this perfectly,
Even though that you disagree.
(You can take these lines and make them open up
Your eyes or you will stay blind.)
And I must admit that I feel sorry
Disappointed and totally broken.
(You can take these lines and make them open up
Your eyes or you will stay blind.)

Do you have a problem understanding me.
I'm begging you, almost down on my knees.
You have to agree that we need to let it be.
Secondly, and remember this perfectly,
That even though you disagree
I feel free to tell everyone about you and me
And the stupidity, that lays deep within.

I remember this perfectly,

Your eyes or you will stay blind.)
And I must admit that I feel sorry

I remember this perfectly,
Even though that you disagree.
And I must admit that I feel sorry,
And totally broken.


3. SUNLIGHT

There is a storm in my heart that tears my inside apart.
It's not so smart standing in a corner when it's time for us to,
Start up this engine that took us this far,
Not reaching for the stars, you know how we are,
And we will keep it that way, just make the feeling stay,
And when we're down, we must say that this can brighten up our day.

This is the sunlight that brightens up my day.
Stepping up on stage when everything feels dull and gray.
And we can't keep this inside, how we're feeling this time.
You're half of it so we cannot quit,
Keep building it up with brick after brick.

And when we go out on tour and return home
We'll be asking for more of what they have in store.
Like I said we're bored when we can't see you
Dance on the floor, under the stage and scream for more.

This is the sunlight that brightens up my day.
Stepping up on stage when everything feels dull and gray.
And we can't keep this inside, how we're feeling this time.
You're half of it so we cannot quit,
Keep building it up with brick after brick.

This is the sunlight that brightens up my day.
Stepping up on stage when everything feels dull and gray.
And we can't keep this inside, how we're feeling this time.
You're half of it so we cannot quit,
Keep building it up with brick after brick.

This is the sunlight that brightens up my day.
Stepping up on stage when everything feels dull and gray.
And we can't keep this inside, how we're feeling this time.
You're half of it so we cannot quit,
Keep building it up with brick after brick after brick.


4. SOUND OF THE REPUBLIC

Bringing to light what the media will not
The business fucked up and you suddenly forgot
Always in the background sketching out the plot
You are devoted to destroy more often than not
Bringing all your friends in just to make a mess
Moving all your pawns in like a game of chess
You're holding your breath and let me guess
This is where you want me to get real stressed

Everyday you sit there with your friends at the cafe
Talking shit about me, and all the people on the street
That doesn't really agree,
And I find it hard to cope with this insanity and jealousy
That comes from people with a guarantee to
Fail, still blaming it on me

This is the sound that will make you go sick
Building it up with brick after brick after brick
We don't care about how you keep on dissin' it
(This is the sound of the Raised Fist Republic)
This is the sound of the Raised Fist Republic

Whispering about this and that I don't know what
Want me to remember, already forgot
Want to have a leading role, take your best shot
Want to have what I got, you want a lot

Screaming about this and that I don't know what
Want me to remember, already forgot
Want to have a leading role, take your best shot
Want to have what we got, you want a lot

Everyday you sit there with your friends at the cafe
Talking shit about me, and all the people on the street
That doesn't really agree,
And I find it hard to cope with this insanity and jealousy
That comes from people with a guarantee to
Fail, still blaming it on me

This is the sound that will make you go sick
Building it up with brick after brick after brick
We don't care about how you keep on dissin' it
This is the sound of the Raised Fist Republic

This is the sound that will make you go sick
Building it up with brick after brick after brick
We don't care about how you keep on dissin' it
(This is the sound of the Raised Fist Republic)
This is the sound of the Raised Fist Republic


5. KILLING IT

This comes as no surprise,
We're emptying our supplies
We're only thinking about the
Size of the pile of shit to buy
Over and over we take what we want
To take even if the bond with nature will break
And when I lay me down to sleep
I wonder why I'm feeling fucking incomplete
I must try to be the guy that defeats all the lies
Wiser than the ones that I despise
So listen now

We're living in this world and we're killing it
It's so absurd, and for dollar bills
We keep on drilling it, until we're mentally ill

A big burial site, no light in this endless night
Please let me rewrite the story to get it right


6. BACK

Anger all around the world
Spreading these vibes that is making us whole again
And I want to spit these lines right in your face
Wreck this fucking place, make the people know that we're back

BACK!
Back in the right track
Sending all the posers back
Down to the ground
BACK!
Back in the right track
With more energy than you can possibly imagine

With Burning Heart holding our back since
More than 10 lovely years, nothing could go wrong
And they never let go, from the first show, the right choice cause now we're back

BACK!
Back in the right track
Sending all the posers back
Down to the ground
BACK!
Back in the right track
With more energy than you can believe

To be a superstar, drive fancy cars
And lose the grip over whom you are
It has never been our goal to come this far
But with this track we want you to
Understand that we're back
Back in the right track
Spreading these vibes that is
Making us whole again

BACK! (Back)
BACK IN THE RIGHT TRACK!
BACK!
Back in the right track
Sending all the posers back
Down to the ground
BACK!
Back in the right track
With more energy than you can believe

We will continue to make all the songs exactly
How we like them no matter what
We will go out on tour and make all the people go insane whether they like it or not
We will continue to make all the songs exactly
How we like them ready or not
We will go out on tour and make all the people go insane
Whether they like it or not


7. HERTZ ISLAND ESCAPADES

As I pull myself together
For the first time in a minute
I think about some of my friends
Who have left this time, this route
And as I lay me down to sleep
For the 10,000th time in my life
I realize what i've got
And what I have to cherish

I remember the days, I remember the place
And I remember your ways and I can still see your happy face
I remember the days, I remember the place
I remember your ways and I can still see the smile on your face

As I pull myself together for the second time in a minute
I think about the times we had rehearsing in
Pete's bedroom and his Dad came in really mad
When we're drinking beer and skating at ؤngskolan
Sneaking away, smoking cigarettes
Cause none of us could think of death


8. SOME OF THESE TIMES

As I walk through memories
And at the end of these
I've burned a lot of pain to see you within
Deep powdered my skin and it's ( burning )

And I wanna break through to you
Try to speak to you ( and I )
And I seem to get to what's right
But you're not listening right

When you went through my head
Turned it upside down
Fuck you, sick of you all the time
( I'm sick of you all the time... )

And some of your shit, reaches my evil side
And I can't deny, some of these times
I wish you would die

Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just cannot see it
( Sick of you all the time )
Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just cannot see it

Why can't you learn to read the sign
Read between the lines
Closer to what I want to say
And now I totally feel

Instead I have to put all this in rhymes
On a CD you still gotta buy
Does it make you feel fine
( No resisting )
( Sick of you all the time )

When you went through my head
Turned it upside down
Fuck you, sick of you all the time

And some of your shit, reaches my evil side
And I can't deny, some of these times
I wish you would die

Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just cannot see it
( Sick of you all the time )
Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just cannot see it
( I'm sick of you all the time )
Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just cannot see it
Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just can't believe it
( I'm sick of you all the time )

Went through my head
Turned it upside down
Fuck you, sick of you all the time

Some of your shit, reaches my evil side
Some of these times
I wish you would die

Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just cannot see it
( Sick of you all the time )
Listen up, Suck it up, Listen Up
You just cannot see it
( I'm sick of you all the time )
Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just cannot see it
Listen up, All the time, Suck it up
You just can't believe it
( I'm sick of you all the time )


9. NATION OF INCOMPLETE

Prosperity of your business
How ready is your conscience to dismiss
The reality that comes along?
Once you start to dig, you'll be scared
It won't take too long
All this built for business and not for the people
You are preparing to fall
Down on your knees for the people who
Want it all instead of breaking down the walls

Tale of treachery, hate and tragedy
And a little grain of truth
Just remember it's eye for an eye
And tooth for a tooth

Tale of treachery, hate and tragedy
And a little grain of the truth
Just remember it's eye for an eye
And tooth for a tooth

All about growth and expansion
Securing all the funds for the nation
The competition is intensified
There's no supply because of sanctions
The result of your actions
Is visible to me and it's easy to see
Dead bodies, blood on the street
All in the name of incomplete

Tale of treachery, hate and tragedy
And a little grain of truth
Just remember it's eye for an eye
And tooth for a tooth

Tale of treachery, hate and tragedy
And a little grain of the truth
Just remember it's eye for an eye
And tooth for a tooth

Dead bodies, blood on the street
All in the name of the nation of incomplete
Dead bodies, blood on the street
All in the name of the nation of incomplete


10. AND THEN THEY RUN

There is a story that I want to tell
A little story from the inside of hell
There wasn't anything that she could do
She was trapped to the shit like glue
Infuriated by the problems at his work
The fucking jerk went berserk and let his anger
Run the way up her back, a disgusting attack
And then everything went black

Shut your mouth and feel the pain
You're a prisoner at your own domain
Where no one can hear you complain
You're locked away in chains and emotions
Doesn't help you
Shut your mouth and feel the pain
You're a prisoner at your own domain
Where no one can hear you complain
You're locked away in chains and emotions
Doesn't help you now

When he promises it won't be the same
It takes a couple of days then you feel
Ashamed again, but the worst part of the
Game is to be afraid all the time, in good or bad
And I feel so sad when he treats you like a punching bag
And your so called friends pretend like they can't see it
They defend the bastard until the end
And when it hurts me I can only imagine how it hurts you

And you can't feel free, like me, and you can't run
And people act like they don't see this and then
They run away from what they can't handle
But no one thinks about how you handle this


11. BLEED UNDER MY PEN

So many questions lines up in my head
Like many others I cannot seem to understand
Why they prefer some people to be dead
This is something that haunts me
Every minute in my bed
Sleepless nights, it's tearing up my mind
I need to go ahead

With the help of Christianity
And a weak touch of insanity
Not associated with democracy
In this world of hypocrisy

Temporary insane states followed in their trail
This led to killings on an unimaginable scale
With political speeches composed by, and for,
Elite men I wish that Barbie and Ken would
Bleed under my pen, time and again, over and over again
Amen

With the help of Christianity
(MY DREAM IS DEAD! MY DREAM IS DEAD!)
And a weak touch of insanity
(MY DREAM IS DEAD! MY DREAM IS DEAD!)
Not associated with democracy
(MY DREAM IS DEAD! MY DREAM IS DEAD!)
In this world of hypocrisy
(My Dream Is Dead! My Dream Is Dead!)


12. TIME WILL LET YOU GO, ALL ALONE, I BREAK

Time will let you go
All alone I break
Time will let you go
All alone I break

I don't know why you're wasting your own time
I don't know how you see this when you're not bleeding with me
Is believing in me, With nothingness in everything
You're leaving with me
I don't know why you're changing all the time
You're trying to slow down and fall behind
All this tension, no comprehension
Losing yourself in delusional dimensions

Time will let you go
All alone I break
Time will let you go
All alone I break

I don't know why you're wasting your own time
I don't know how you see this when you're not bleeding with me
Is believing in me, With nothingness in everything
You're leaving with me
I don't know why you're changing all the time
You're trying to slow down and fall behind
All this tension, no comprehension
Losing yourself in delusional dimensions

Time all alone when I break
Controlling my breath for my own sake

I don't know why you're wasting your own time
I don't know how you see this when you're not bleeding with me
Is believing in me, With nothingness in everything
You're leaving with me
I don't know why you're changing all the time
You're trying to slow down and fall behind
All this tension, no comprehension
Losing yourself in delusional dimensions

I don't know why you're wasting your own time
I don't know how you see this when you're not bleeding with me
Is believing in me, With nothingness in everything
You're leaving with me
I don't know why you're changing all the time
You're trying to slow down and fall behind
All this tension, no comprehension
Losing yourself in delusional dimensions
