1 - BEAUTY

What should I do?
Risk my innocence,
take your advice
and burn the bridges behind?

Tempted, I'm tempted
to throw away the key
and change personality.
But I need security
and beauty surrounding me.
How can I get it all?

Well, my friend.
Your life's what you make it (aha?)
No-one said
you cannot live in beauty…just because you're cool………..oh no ha ha ha!!!

You talk the talk, but are you right?
How can I shape my life?
How can I overcome it all?

I've lived with beauty all my life
keeping trouble out of sight
dwelling in my world of innocence
---------------
And what will change my friend,
in case you just give in
and leave your inner self in charge?

To live your life extreme
is not as it may seem.
There's room for beauty by your side3

We who live by the sword
take what we need.
If you cherish beauty then please, go ahead
Why despair, why regret?

The guys I know who live extreme
will never ever feel
how beauty makes you warm inside

Instead they spend their energy
on beating up the weak,
or laugh as they escape in fright

Tough guys who use a fist
instead of mental skill
just prove their lack of self esteem

There is no dignity
or masculinity
in beating up a helpless guy

We who live by the sword
fight for our right
But only a fool would declare an attack
if a kiss could accomplish the same4

It's all about honor at the bottom line
…our goal is the same
There's always a beauty who'll live by your side
If you know how you gain respect



2 - SELFISHNESS

1.verse
Yourself, my friend, I tell you that's the keyword
to all the things you seek.
You haven't learned the value
of feeding your own needs
I know your life is boring
I know you've lost belief
Endless annoying duties
Have torn away your dreams

Devoted to your employer
your friends, your family
You concentrate on how to please them
ignoring your own dreams

1.Chorus
I give a fuck about the way you judge me
Don't treat me like a fool
In case my life is boring,
just tell me what to do
I know I've got a problem
that's why I came to you
So skip the “Mr. Know-it-all”
and tell me what to do

2. Verse
Yourself, my friend, I tell you that's the keyword
Embrace your selfishness.
You need to change the daily routines
and focus on yourself
When you wake up each morning
you better ask yourself:
How can I please my own needs?
What do I want today?
---
And by the way it's no rebellion
to think about oneself
We all do, we just won't admit it.
So cut away the shame
Those who have won't share it
reap what they've sown – alone
Near is the shirt, my friend
but nearer the skin

2.Chorus
How can I turn my back on all my duties?
How can I feed my needs?
As I depend on others
they, too, depend on me
I'm living in a network
with friends and family
I even like to please them,
so don't you lecture me

Outro:
Your friends won't mind if you're behaving selfish or satisfy your needs
They benefit their own way, by facing your relief
There's nothing wrong in pleasing your friends and family
Just do it when you want to, not as a strict routine
