Lyrics

1. MADHOUSE

White coats to bind me, out of control
I live alone inside my mind
World of confusion, air filled with noise
Who says that my lifes such a crime?

Trapped, in this nightmare
I wish i'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
Four walls, surround me
An empty gaze
I cant find my way out of this maze

Cause i dont care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I cant take the blame
They dont feel the shame

Its a madhouse
Or so they claim
Its a madhouse
Oh, am i insane?

My fears behind me, what can i do
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no, wont learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then they see the light


2. A.I.R.

Young and free, something youll never be
A childhoods end, its lunacy
Pure dictation, they dont listen
And youre just waiting for what youre missing

Welcome to your nightmare
You just cant walk away
Its time for you, to choose, your fate
You just cant let it lay
Welcome to your nightmare
Your whole lifes on the way,
Today

Youre no good, misunderstood, a.i.r.
All their hopes and visions, of what they want you to be
Crucial times, made up minds, a.i.r.
So high and mighty, though much too blind to see

Who are you gonna live your life for?
Conformity will trap you like a locked door
Independence means owning your decisions
Authority will put your soul in prison

Fight, or go insane, theres no one else to blame
Stop, their influence, you cant give them a chance
Break, right through the wall, that separates us all
Start, your second life, without their hands in sight

You got your pride, you got your visions
Dont subside, dont ever give in
Dont compromise just keep on grinning
The games they play you just keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
Keep on winning
A.i.r.


3. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN (SEX PISTOLS COVER)

God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential h-bomb

God save the queen
She ain't no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want
Don't be told what you need
There's no future, no future
No future for you

God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves

God save the queen
Cuz tourists are money
Our figure head
Is not what she seems

Oh god save history
God save your mad parade
Oh lord god have mercy
All crimes are paid

When there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future, your future

God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves

God save the queen
We mean it man
And there is no future
In England's dreaming

No future, no future
No future for you
No future, no future
No future, no future for me

No future, no future
No future for you
No future, no future for you
