1. OPEN ALL NIGHT



Our favorite joints in town

Close down at two, what can we do?

Darkness...

Walking drunk through empty streets

We have nowhere to do

'Cos there's no place where you can drink

I think this situation stinks

Hopeless...

This law can't be the right way

We want our beer night and day



Open all night - closing time chock

Can't take it no longer

Fight for your right - whiskey and beer

Straight into the morning

Open all night - please! All night!



The drinks are locked away

The crowds are moving towards the place

Where automatic Emma stands

Thirsty...

Dispensing beer and more

A dream machine, a gift of God

Empty...

Out of luck, this evening sucks

Those drinks we always need'em

Let's fight for beverage freedom



Now that the city's dead

You can't get home without a car

Subway

Doesn't run past one o'clock

You stagger home on foot

The wrong direction mile for mile

And getting sober all the while

Panic...

Don't want no more frustration

Make this an all night nation



Where can we hang out later?

At home? They'd tear the place apart

Chaos...

Just one way: don't close the bars





2. WE ARE US



You're such a down in your wig and your tights

You look so silly, silly tonight

Trying to be like your favorite star

Why don't you stay just the way that you are



Be you, don't try living a lie

We too are true! Never a lie

We are true



Who are you? We are us!

Be a man you can trust

Being who you are is the key to yourself

Who are you? We are us!



What is the sense of a second hang life

That's no solution - it's a disguise

Just set your own personality free

Look in the mirror and find your identity



Don't pretend that you're someone you're not

Pride in yourself, man, that means a lot

Stick to your guns, do what you can do best

And you will find that's the best way to have success





3. DANCING ON OUR GRAVE



This living planet is dying fast

Beset by parasites a terrifying plague

Does mankind have a right to live?

We take the earth for what she has and death we give

Atomic powers and acid rain

The ozone gone, you ask what's going on, we're



Dancing on our grave - careless with no regrets

Dancing on our grave - there's no more turning back

Eons of evolution ravaged by pollution, now we are

Dancing on our grave



Civilization reeks of its waste

A toxic curse that lies forever on the race

Emissions killing silently

Get in the ground, the air, the water, every tree

Tipping the balance that nature held

We aimed at others but we shot ourselves, we're



An eco-revolution is the sole solution, but we're

Dancing on our grave



Pleading for nature is trendy now

Deeds are replaced by words while time is running out

We didn't care for much too long

Catastrophes, extinction, cancer prove us wrong

The train of "progress" still races on

Straight to the gates of Hell, bid you farewell



Once man has been erased, the world might be a better place, we're

Dancing on our grave





4. MECHANICAL MAN



Part of the nameless masses

Part of the big machine

You're nothing but a cogwheel, man

Well died, conform, replaceable

Think - sometimes you wake up

Act - and wonder why

You're free to think that you're free

But somewhere truth is lost

The drudgery you like each day

Is all you know, you don't complain



Do you want to be a mechanical man?

Don't you want to be free?

Do you know your mind is no longer your own?



You will always be a mechanical man

You can never be free

Being unaware of the powers you serve

You life's a vicious circle

You move but get nowhere

The only way you know to break out

Is dreaming on the video

Think - you've got to shape up

Act - to make a change

But then you're just a chess piece

In someone else's game

He makes the move, you have your place

And destiny is preordained



So many others like you

They're living senseless lives

They will obey and walk their way

With vacant stares and empty minds

Think - sometimes they wake up

Act - and wonder why

But we are much too burned out

To light the flame of hope

The revolution will not come

Our minds are tied behind our backs





5. BEERMUDA



I'm feeling low, to much frustration

I've gotta get away

Do not want to stay in this boring place

Getting crazier day by day

I see in my imagination

The place I want to go

An island for away, unbeknown to most

Where it's warm and the beer streams flow

Sandy beaches and a deep blue ocean

The water tastes like premium brew

Nobody works, it's against the law

Gorgeous woman waiting there for you

Easy living makes me feel alright

This paradise is mine tonight



I wanna go to Beermuda

No more sober life without fun

I wanna move to Beermuda

I wanna live in Beermuda

Live it up in the tropical sun

I wanna go to Beermuda



The trees are full of snacks and sixpacks

And they don't cost a dime

There's just a single rule: No sobriety



Nobody thinks about tomorrow

The good times never stop

Under the summer sky, getting really high

We'll go on drinking 'til we drop

This is life as it always should be

Noone could find a better place

Too bad it can't be reality

I'm just dreaming, it's a fantasy

Easy living makes we feel alright

This paradise is mine tonight



I see in my imagination

The place I want to go

An island far away

Waking up from my crazy daydream

Brew in my hand, hey, where am I?

Can it be true that I'm really here

On Beermuda with a girl and a beer

Easy living makes me feel alright

This paradise is mine for life



I'm gonna stay in Beermuda

No more sober life without fun

I gonna live in Beermuda

I'm gonna stay in Beermuda

Live it up in the tropical sun

I gonna live in Beermuda

I'm gonna stay in Beermuda

No more sober life without fun

I'm gonna live in Beermuda





6. THE MEANING OF LIFE



It's such a mystery

Can someone tell me the meaning of life?

It's really killing me

Who's got the rap on the meaning of life?

Kama Sutra, Bible and Koran - no answer, man

Not a clue from Marx to Socrates - I'm on my knees

Gotta find it in my own

Sober, drunk or maybe stoned

Grow myself a wisdom tooth

Ask him, if he knows the truth

I can't rest 'til I've discovered why - we live and die

Desperation's driving me insane - pain in my brain



It's such a mystery

What is the key to the meaning of life?

I have to be sure

What are we living for?

It's such a mystery

But I'll uncover the meaning of life



What's the use of fighting for rebirth - What is it worth?

Born to live the dreams of our parents - What is the sense?

If your life is from above

There's no need for making love

Be the best that you can be

Working for the family

A weekend escape is only fantasy - Life isn't free

So I work in hopes I'll get away - Maybe one day



Sometimes I think that life's a game - But who's to blame?

Or is life for love and charity? - I disagree

Life is just a money grab

Taking all that's to be had

I can never be complete

Everybody wants a piece

Will I ever find some happiness? - Before my death

But what if there's an afterlife - In Paradise?



The end of the mystery

Think for yourself





7. SPACE BEER



Read in the morning paper

They're shooting up another satellite

Experiment on the final frontier

To create the ultimate beer

Precious yeast spinning in orbit

Unrestrained gravity fades

Nobody knows what this brew will be

A magic potion? Chemistry?

Everybody loves the new beer

So good you want to drink it day in night

It's better that and Pils, any Ex

Makes you feel like really good sex

If you're sick, don't fear the doctor

'Cos he has wonderful news:

a case of Beer will replace the pills

A drink of healing cures your ills

A new idea - great innovation

Future beer - it's a sensation



Chuck it down, tap another barrel

Magic potion out of space

Chuck it down, it's a drinker's heaven

Live it up and drink this beer

Space beer! Space beer!

Space beer - this is what I like

Space beer - it tastes alright



If you stick to drinking Space beer

Hangovers - headaches will be in the past

The Sci-Fi-booze makes you healthy and wise

Your dick and brain will grow in size

If you're bald, it'll make your hair grow

If you're not, drink it for fun

Your liver wants more and more of it

It keeps your stomach strong and fit

We love it - a beermaniac Utopia

We want it - oktobertest comucopia



Future beer is so fantastic

There is no end to what this stuff can do

It multiplied - it's no trick of the light

Empty bottles fill overnight

It's the best nothing can match it

Number one - galaxy wide

The aliens from all over space

Will come to earth to get a taste

A new idea - great innovation

Future beer - it's a sensation





8. ALWAYS THEM



The hate in your eyes

As one more victim dies

The ghetto in flames

Another day of shame



Will you kill them all

'cos they're not like you?

Whether someone's skin is black

Or he calls himself a jew

It he comes from a foreign land

What's all that in you?



All are equal - stop the bigotry

All are equal - lace is only ideology



Misfortune mayhem

You blame it all on "them"

They're dirty and mean

You want your country clean

What does it mean "clean"?

If they're not like you

Then they don't belong

Everyone's a foreigner

Almost any place he's in

Tolerance is the better way

In friendship all win



Soveto, the Klan

Treblinka in the end

These names they spell out

What you are all about





9. WHEEL OF REBIRTH



Subterranean Urban Network

Year Twenty Fortyeight

System condition stable

All data - flow intact

Control - the human items cloned and bred

Cast from genetic mold

Optimized for future role

World manager controllers

Reside beyond the drones

Immutably, undying

By hi-tech providence

Eternal life by mind transplantation



Don't miss the chance

The chance of rebirth

Book your place on the wheel



A perfect body chosen

To host the aging brain

Restricted access only

High asset clientele

No more fear of senility and death

We sell eternity

Take control of destiny

Transplant complexes often

Selections of young flesh

To those who seek a new life

To live their old life in

Escape your judgement day - invest in time



Hi-tech reincarnation

The cult of science reigns

Payment for paradise is

Not prayer, just currency

Buy life! We'll save you from mortality

Don't fall for those who say:

Madness lies in eternity

Death must submit to finance

He dwells among the slaves

Control is universal

The end of history

But is eternal life heaven or Hell





10. BARFLY



D.T. empty stare and body shiver

Whisky - need a shot to stop the quiver

I've been here for days or minutes

Where is here? I couldn't tell

Somewhere in the outer limits

Pretty close, I guess, to Hell

Hazy names and places

Foggy memory

Help me - Mister, can you spare a dollar?

Need a drink before I start to holler

Seedy bars is where I hang out

Crawling up the Strip all night

Dodging tabs and seeking spenders

Passing out or starting fights

It's a way of living

In the underworld



Close to the edge - Barfly

Ready to fall

Walking the ledge - Barfly

Nothing or all

Playing your part - Barfly

Searching... Barfly



Barrooms - stench of beer, the smell of losers

Lowlifes - aging whores and senile boozers

We're a family of zombies

But a family nonetheless

Gotta hang on to each other

When your life's a filthy mess

Fighting for survival

Fighting loneliness



Way out - got a choice, I'm not a dumb one

Create - write a book and be a someone

Memoirs very popular

In those intellectual circles

Barfly turns to cult - scene start

Sleaze can be attractive

Viewed from safer shores



Close to the edge - Barfly

Ready to fall

Nothing or all - Barfly

Searching... Barfly
