1. NOW OR NEVER

We’re the voice of a generation
We’ve heard too many lies
We’re gonna hit the streets
We’ll be knocking down your doors

[Chorus:]
Now or never - We’re gonna strike back
Now or never - We’re on the attack

This is a call on our brothers
Together we can make a change
The time has come to take some action
Tomorrow nothing will ever be the same

[Chorus]

We’re not just gonna watch you destroy
We won’t let faith decide
We’re gonna take the world in our own hands
Decide ourselves what’s happening with our lives

[Chorus]

... Skinhead!

Now or never ... (x2)

[Chorus]

Now or never ...


2. REJECTS OF SOCIETY

I see them look at me
When I’m passing by
I see their faces turn,
I see them wondering why
When I’m walking down the street
They see my scarred-up face
It’s the cross I bear, I stand on trial
Every fuckin’ day

When we’re walking down the road,
With our tattooed arms and rings in our ears
They’re just afraid of the unknown
They try to blame us for their fears
So why should I even try?
What’s the use anyway?
You’ll never know what it’s like
To be convicted every day

[Chorus:]
You will never understand,
This is the way it’s gotta be
You will never understand,
What this life means to me

... to me (x4)

I see them point their fingers
They call us the enemy
The media likes to portrait us
As the rejects of society
You’re just looking for a scapegoat
Someone who can easily be blamed
But I’ll never except my part
To be crucified for their mistakes

[Chorus]

... to me (x4)


3. HOOLIGAN HEAVEN

His mom is always complaining
That nothing can save his soul
He doesn't give a damn about anything
Just football, drinks and Rock'n'Roll
But he ain't nothing special
He is just like the rest of his mates
Fighting for his colors and getting in trouble
From time to time a guest of the state

[Chorus:]
This is Hooligans Heaven
Hooligans Heaven (x3)

Another Saturday afternoon
He has gotta hurry to the square
Just a few hours to go
And all the lads are already there
We're walking towards the station
And all the boys are ready to go
Soon the train will be coming in
We're gonna have a fuckin' go

[Chorus]

10 to 2, it's gotta go off
A stab, a cry, another life is lost
20 years old, a good future ahead
Five minutes later he's fuckin' dead

[Chorus]


4. FUCK YOU ANYWAY

When I open my eyes nowadays
And take a look at society
They’re all just running around useless
They ain’t got no identity
Call me a rebel, an outlaw
A devil with a dirty face
Well, at least I got a goal in life
So make room cause I’m coming your way

[Chorus:]
Fuck you, fuck you - I don’t wanna be like you
Fuck you, fuck you - Fuck you and your system too
Fuck you, fuck you - Don’t care about the people today
Fuck you, fuck you - Fuck you anyway

Don't wanna be a part of your fashion show
Cause we don't fuckin' care
It's time to face the music
You all just better beware
That we're pissed off and mad as hell
So fuck off with your fake ideals
You'll never understand us
For you we're much too real

[Chorus]

... Don't care about to die

When I open my eyes nowadays
And take a look at society
They’re all just running around useless
They ain’t got no identity
Call me a rebel, an outlaw
A devil with a dirty face
Well, at least I got a goal in life
So make room cause I’m coming your way

[Chorus]


5. ROAD TO NOWHERE

.. Gonna break away!

Woke up one day and it was plain to see
I was going nowhere, it was a dead end street
So I burned my bridges that made me bound to lose
My life was a mess, so I had to choose
It was the time to get rid of all the losers
To seperate my ways from all the sluts and the users
Do what you wanna do, work hard every day
If you really want something, there's always a way

[Chorus:]
Ooh - You're on a road to nowhere (x4)

... Nowhere (x2)

I'm gonna break out and leave this life behind
Break out and see what I can find
I might lose, I'm gonna try my luck
I might win, I really don't give a fuck
So if I can do it, you can do it, too
Why don't you try it, you got nothing to lose
A road to nowhere, it's the same every day
Do something different, try to break away

[Chorus]

... Nowhere (x2)

[Chorus]

... Nowhere


6. HATED, DAMNED, DESPISED

I’ve been working for so long
Try to make it on my own
It ain’t easy every day
Working 10 hours for a lousy wage
A day late and a dollar short
I got to pay the rent
But I’ll never, I'll never surrender
Why do you fight this in the end

[Chorus:] (x2)
Hated, damned, despised - Just give me one good reason why
Hated, damned, despised - You'll never know what it's like

But you kings and queens will never understand
To fight against defeat
You're living your lives in fairy tales
You never have to make ends meet
Always looking down on the common man
Who works hard and might survive
You've never had no worries
And so you judge my life

[Chorus] (x2)

... What it's like (x2)

I’ve been working for so long
Try to make it on my own
It ain't easy every day
Working 10 hours for a lousy wage
A day late and a dollar short
I got to pay the rent
But I’ll never, I'll never surrender
Why do you fight this in the end

[Chorus] (x2)

Hated ... and hated ... and hated ... and despised (x2)


7. UNION WORKER

They're closing down the factories, they're shutting the gates
The union went on strike for days but it was already too late
The company moves on, they take it to another land
Don't care about their workers, leave 'em behind with empty hands

[Chorus:] (x4):
Just a Union Worker ...

... Worker (x2)
... He's gotta go

30 years of his life he dedicated to his job
From one day to another he's put aside like a dog
But the rich man doesn't care about the ruined lives he leaves behind
Because there's just one thing and that's money on his mind

[Chorus] (x4)

... Worker (x2)
... He's gotta go

So, now he's unemployed, he has got 3 kids to feed
He's standing in the welfare line, he's a victim of their greed
He has lost his selfrespect, his honour and his pride
This honest working man, they took away his life

[Chorus] (x4)

... Worker (x2)
... He's gotta go (repeat)


8. PRISON BOUND

Well I'm going to a place
Where the tough guys go
And come out even tougher
A place where a man don't show his feelings
A place where a man don't cry
Well then I'm being punished
And they say I can be reformed
But some day I'll return
Did they really think
That this time it would work
You knew all along it wouldn't

[Chorus:]
Ooh, I'm prison bound
I did a crime one too many times
It's on the outskirts of town
By the railroad tracks
Where the country moon shines
Ooh, I'm prison bound
Tell my girl, I'll be back one day
Ooh, I'm prison bound
I may never know any other ...

... any other way (x2)

Well they take away my freedom
Of expression and action
Johnny says I'll walk the line
With three hots and a cot
And a lot of talk
With lock-up, concrete and steel
Well it's cold and it's clammy
Man, it's colder than a pimps heart
But I've gotta do my time
There's a lesson to be learned here
But what a price to pay
You know I may never learn

[Chorus]

... any other way (x2)

[Chorus]

... any other way (x2)


9. DEVIL IN DISGUISE

Well once there was a time
My life got off track
When everything went downhill fast
There was no turning back
I spent my days hanging in the bars
And drinking my pain away
Then one night a girl walked in
I’ll never forget that day

[Chorus:]
Devil in disguise - She took me by surprise
Devil in disguise - She paralyzed me with her eyes
Devil in disguise - Taking control of me
Devil in disguise - I was too blind to fuckin’ see

From the very moment
She took me under her spell
I lost all control
It was a one way ticket to hell
She was the thief of hearts
I was too blinded to see
That she was sucking all the life
All the life out of me

[Chorus]

Well, then came the day
That she finally left
Sucked up and dried out
She left me for dead
But I crawled up from the gutter
And found my joy for life again
I got rid of the past
I'm living my life again

[Chorus]

With her eyes ... (x2)
By surprise ... (x2)
Only lies ... (x3)
With her eyes ... (x2)
By surprise ... (x2)
Only lies ... (x3)

Only fuckin', fuckin', fuckin', fuckin' lies


10. 24 HOURS

I've been away for days
I've been away all these nights
I've been gone way too long
Locked up inside
I've been there and done that
I've been there all the way
Now I'm just lonely, lost and sick
I just gotta get away

[Chorus] (x2):
24 hours away
24 hours to go
24 hours and I'll be back
I'm coming home

I've paid my debts
I've done my time
Never, never again
Loneliness is killing me
But finally it's coming to an end
Just hold on a little longer
I've done my time
I've had my share
24 hours and then it's over
I'm never gonna go back there

[Chorus] (x2)

[Chorus] (x2)


11. FORGOTTEN HEROES

10 years in the service
He was willing to give his life
For a country that he loved
He served his time with pride
When the war was over
Johnny went back home
His wife and kids had left him
He had no place to go

[Chorus] (x2):
Ooh - Forgotten heroes

He ain't looking for handouts
Just wants some peace of mind
All that he wants
Is to build up a new life
But nobody looks after him
They just let him burn
Risking your life for all these years
And you get nothing in return

[Chorus] (2x)

... And nobody gives a damn (x3)

Once a nations pride
Is now lying on the streets
Drinking away his misery
No shoes on his feet
Once a young strong man
Who was proud to serve his land
Now being spit on
And nobody gives a damn

[Chorus] (x4)


12. THIEF OF HEARTS

I was walking down the freeway
I felt the thunder in my heart
I knew it all along
It was clear right from the start
That she was the one and only
The one and only for me
We were brought together by fate
This is how it was meant to be

[Chorus:]
Thief of hearts - For me
Thief of hearts - For me
Thief of hearts - For always fighting for you and me

Well, I've known some dark days
Days I'd rather forget
For all the hearts that I broke
I'm filled with pain and regret
That's the way it goes
The story of the king of tears
This time I lost my baby
The one for all these years

[Chorus]

I was walking down the freeway
I felt the thunder in my heart
I knew it all along
It was clear right from the start
That she was the one and only
The one and only for me
We were brought together by fate
This is how it was meant to be

[Chorus]

I was walking down the freeway
I felt the thunder in my heart
I knew it all along
It was clear right from the start
That she was the one and only
The one and only for me
We were brought together by fate
This is how it was meant to be

[Chorus]

... Forever me
... For you and me
... Forever me
... For you and me


13. THESE STREETS

When I walk these street today
They remind me of yesterdays
When I see these streets today
It's like I've never been away
When I'm driving through this town
I see the faces all around
They remind me of the past
And all the good times we ever had

These streets are tattooed in my heart
They'll never go away
This is where it all started
It still makes me feel proud today
These streets they got a history
The forgotten memories still remain
These streets have eyes and ears
They've dealt with joy and pain

[Chorus:]
On and on - It feels like yesterday
On and on - I would never trade my place

Through these streets when I was young
We used to walk to school
In these streets I got my first black eye
Drank a bottle and acted cool
These streets are dirty and old
But I would never trade my place
All the lessons we learned out there
Can never be taken away

[Chorus]

These streets are tattooed in my heart
They'll never go away
This is where it all started
It still makes me feel proud today
These streets they got a history
The forgotten memories still remain
These streets have eyes and ears
They've dealt with joy and pain

[Chorus]

I would never ... (x3)
Never ... never trade my place
I would never ...
Never ... never trade my place
I would never ...
Never ... never trade my place

We're going on and on, and on and on, and on and on ...
We're going on and on, and on and on ... forever yesterdays
We're going on and on, and on and on, and on and on ...
We're going on and on, and on and on ... until the end of days
