1. LIGHT

The blind inspiration, total disillusion
Instant consecration, mind and body fusion
Frontal assault on the seven senses
Orgasmic waste, eccentric and pretentious

KMFDM, doing it again
A treat for the freaks, truth or dare
Are you ready for this? we don't care

Deify data, hard but true
Godlike nonsense being thrown at you
We keep simple, tough and outright
Easy to swallow, KMFDM light

KMFDM, doing it again
A treat for the freaks, truth or dare
How low can you go? we don't care

In a world of deceit, open your eyes
What we do for you, so good for you
Don't be afraid and you'll realize
What you do for me, so good for me

One way or another, now or later
Bow down and worship the true creator

Musik ist macht, eine ausgesprochene
Verbindung von Schlau und Dunn.
Geruschschtigen wird unter immensem
Druck und Leidenschaft grosste
Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt.
Der Heldenriff ist der Froschfresser.
Der Rhythmus ein schoner Schwan.
Nur die Worte ein Blutegel an deinem gehirn.
Keiner macht fur dich mehr.

Take a good plunge and out from the masses
Bend over backwards and kick some asses

Call 1-800, accept no imitation
KMFDM, one world, one nation


2. A DRUG AGAINST WAR

Television, religion, social destruction
Sex and drugs, violent seduction

Crystal dawn, ecstatic explosion
Parental advice leads to mental erosion

Stronger than never ever before
KMFDM is a drug against war

Line after line, round after round
Empty shells fall to the ground

Faster than lightning, high as a kite
Sonic bombardment brighter than sunlight

No need for needles, no injection
The substance substitutes love and affection

Total sedation of longing desire
Cremation of senses in friendly fire


3. BLOOD (EVIL MIX)

Whatever is to be shrunken is first stretched out
Whatever is to be weakened is first made strong

Whatever??
What will be thrown over is first raised up

Open your senses in a sexual union
There's a face behind the curtain
Be a help and not a burden

Try to wash off blood with blood
Fake no evil

Do without doing
Know without knowing
Kill without killing
Going out of nowhen

The heart that is strong will never surrender

Put no hand higher than your own
Fake no evil


4. LUST

Tief atme durch
Es ist erlaubt zu geniessen
Sei ohne furcht
Werde fast taub

Nicht wahrzunehmen - es zu erleben
Dich begehren heisst dir vergeben
Liebe ist raub

Halt mich fest
Lass nie los
Eins mit dir
Geh nie fort

Beruhre mich
Kusse den himmel hier auf erden
In mein geheimnis weih' ich dich ein
Sinn und sein
Heilung und lust
Sei mein leben
Sei unvernunftig
Baby sei mein
Lass mich glucklich sein

Breathe deeply
It is permitted to enjoy
Be without fear
Almost lose your senses

Not to perceive - to experience
Desiring you is forgiveness
Love is robbery

Hold me fast
Never let go
One with you
Never go away

Touch me
Kiss the sky here on earth
I will let you in on my secret
Meaning and being
Cure and lust
Be my life
Be unreasonable
Baby be mine
Let me be happy


5. GLORY

War and slavery, exploitation
The common faces of the western nations
Official version, a falsified story
The truth lies buried in a shroud of glory

Influential people aren't serving time
For being involved in organized crime
But stashed away in beautiful mansions
Guess who provides for their generous pensions?

Oppression, ignorance, censorship rule
Education is more than what's taught in school
Forced in the mold, held down by threats
Decisions are made over our heads

But there is a way to refuse and resist
We don't need to be ruled with the iron fist
We are the people, we are strong
Let's make up our minds and call them wrong

Black man, white man, yellow man
Rip the system

Religion and TV, we're under the thumb
Grown to believe because we're already numb


6. MOVE ON

Reflect in the mirror, revenge is redundant
Resurrect your idols, return to the basics
Realign your thoughts, relocate to zero
Reverse into backward, repossess your soul

Now is the time, reassess your values
Going back to the basics, to powerful means
At the end of the day, it's an incredible scene
We are ready to rock, get ??? or die

My inner circle's helter skelter, echoes loving ecstasy
I know I'll find a way to live, a way for you and me

Stuck in the past, with a ??? to suck in sadness
Don't pretend understanding, understanding the ???
???
Generational madness is crawling again

Right on the edge of a nightmarish war
Roaming the land like never before

Center yourself now, the trouble of helping
The details of ???, like in the past
Introducing the power of surviving the contest
Believe in your own strength, and now is the time

Doesn't really matter what you believe
Doesn't really matter if you belong


7. NO PEACE

Without rhyme, without reason
Blabbering ??? treason
A place for the people and hands of the fools
How much longer will ignorance rule?

We'll get it all, we'll get it all
You have to know that we'll have it all

So, face it the place is a mess
No, no good don't act like you should
We, we're doomed, right from the start
No, no don't the choice is too hard

Now it's your turn to fight
Armed and ready, famous and rich
Now it's your turn to fight
The time has come to flip the switch
Now it's your turn to fight
So what do you know and how does it feel?
Now it's your turn to fight
No peace without justice and that's for real.

Reserve, a much better life
Control a harmless obsession
We, ???
You, your days are numbered you bet


8. A HOLE IN THE WALL

When I have to die I want to strangle myself in your black hair
When I have to die I want to suffocate between your sweet breasts

When I have to die I want to be blinded by your brown eyes
When I have to die I want to cut my veins on your lips

I have not yet ruled enough
My hands in chains
The break, the hole in the wall

When I have to die I want to starve in your lap
When I have to die I want to burn in your bed

When I have to die I want to drown in your heat
When I have to die I want to be poisoned by your blood

When I have to die I want to melt away from your kiss
And then when I'm dead, bury me close to your heart


9. SUCKS

We like talking dirty, we smoke and we drink
We're KMFDM and all other bands stink

Our music is sampled, totally fake
It's done by machines 'cause they don't make mistakes

We don't have no lyrics, our message is nil
We hate all DJ's, they're making us ill

Whatever we tell you is meant to be crap
We hate all music and especially rap

We don't like Michael Jackson, we hate Depeche Mode
We don't care for Madonna or Kylie Minogue

Our records have stickers with a warning from Tipper
'Cause they're no good for kids if we'd get her we'd strip her

KMFDM forward the ultimate sound
And a message from Satan if you turn it around

Hey Satan its En Esh talking down/now, let me know whats going on man,
call-call me anytime man, anytime man, I dont know its your call ??

You might think we're stupid but we're way above it
We don't give a shit and the kids just love it

We wouldn't sell to a major for a couple of bucks
No doubt about it, KMFDM sucks


10. THE PROBLEM

There was a hearing.
The rules were broken by one, followed by another.
The evidence was presented, an overwhelming list of infractions.

An overwhelming re-presentation
Of his maladjustment to the system
The hearing was about him, about his attitude, about his behavior.

He is, he represents (No)
He implies the problem
If he is expelled, the problem will go away

Responsibility, relationship, mutuality, absolution.

A person with a problem, I believe there's no such thing
As a person with a problem.
If there is a problem it's a problem with the system.
The system of home and family, of school and community.

He is not in this alone.
He is not the problem.

A refelction of the system.
A mirror image of ourselves, and our work.

We acknowledge not all kids fit our ancillary desires
And when they don't fit, they become the problem

Expell the problem, make it go away.
