1. ANIMAL HOUSE

Morning is breaking with death on the street
Driving downtown in a red corvette
The demons and satans are creeping around
L.A. nights are madhouse nights
The murderers - are heroes
They’re speeding all over the town
And justice is drunken
I’m tumbling upside down
I’m a madman
Living in an animal house
I’m a madman
Living in an animal house
Living in an animal house
Rockers in concert are serving the bible
Praying in public is getting a habit
For selling out everything seems to be right, oh yeah
The sunset is crowded with tramps passing out
They’re sleeping - in trashcans
There’s witchcraft in everyone’s eyes
Satans and demons
All dressed up in suits and ties
I’m a madman
Living in an animal house
I’m a madman
Living in an animal house
Madman - going crazy - living in an animal house
Yeah
I’m a madman
Living in an animal house
I’m a madman
Living in an animal house
I’m a madman
Living in an animal house
I’m a madman
Madman - hahaha - living in an animal house


2. BREAK THE RULES

Everything is wrong, yet they all deny it
But the time will come, when they can’t hide it
Somebody says hey man - what’s up with you
I say just make way cause I’m sick of you
Sick an tired of no good two faced liars
Buck here - buck there, that’s their sole desire
Leaders always put your life in fear
I don’t wanna see the world disappear
You got to burn it up - burn it up tonight
‘cause the time has come for us - to put it right
You gotta break the rules
So keep the aces high
Break the rules - break the rules
Burn ‘em down with fire
No good thinking you don’t have the power
'Cause it’s coming soon it’s gonna be our finest hour
All I do is smile because I’ve been through this before
I know just how to play this game - I’m kicking down your door
You got to burn it up - burn it up tonight
'Cause the time has come for us - to put it right
You gotta break the rules
So keep the aces high
Break the rules - break the rules
Burn ‘em down with fire
You gotta break the rules
So keep the aces high
Break the rules - break the rules
Burn ‘em down with fire
You gotta break the rules, ...


3. HEART OF GOLD

He is a man forced to live with the rats
But he is dying for a smile from you
He is a man without a home in his life
Is that a reason to walk on the line
It’s like a game - don’t mess around
Don’t be a fool so just go on
No life of double standard what he’s looking for
Only a dream of tender delight
No more a bloody fool in this dirty town
So get away take your own line
Hard is the game - don’t turn around
You make the rules so hold your ground
He’s got a heart of gold
The brain to realise he leads the better life
He’s got a heart of gold
So free your mind - live with a smile
Heart of gold - just like a diamond in the rough
He is dying for a touch from you
No more a bloody fool in this god damned town
Please be strong for just one time
So play this game and move the pawns
It’s up to you so just go on
He’s got a heart of gold
The heart to free his soul - the heart to reach the goal
Sweet little heart of gold
So free and fine - live with a smile
Live with a smile on your face
Hard is the game - don’t turn around
No more a fool so just go on
He’s got a heart of gold
The brain to realise he leads the better life
He’s got a heart of gold
So free your mind - live with a smile
He’s got a heart of gold
The heart to free his soul - the heart to reach the goal
Sweet little heart of gold
So free and fine - live with a smile
Just live with a smile on your face
He is dying for a smile from you
So just go on - go on - go on
With your heart of gold
Don’t turn around
You make the rules - so hold your ground
Sweet little heart of gold
Sweet little heart of gold


4. TWO FACED WOMAN

Miles from home
So many things go 'round
So far - the fight in me’s so strong
Years of pain
I’ve suffered all the same
Today - I know I will be near
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
'Cause you're a two faced woman
But I’m a three faced man
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
I got a hangman’s hand
Dirty tricks
I found out just in time
Enough - don’t dare to cross this line
You - you fooled around
I found a way out
The tables turned - your bridges burned
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
But I’m a three faced man
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
I got a hangman’s hand
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
But I’m a three faced man
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
You’ll live in nightmare land
Payback time - spin the dime
The balance overdue
Payback time - take a hike
You broke the golden rule
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
But I’m a three faced man
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
I got a hangman’s hand
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
But I’m a three faced man
'Cause you’re a two faced woman
You’ll live in nightmare land


5. METAL EATER

It slits you up - deep inside
It hits you here right between your eyes
It’s somehow evil - red - hot - and weird
A dangerous feeling - you never want it
It turns you inside out
Don’t know why I can’t beat it
It feels like burning steel
It sounds like grinding metal sheets
Metal eater- it always gets you
Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine - metal eater
If you would know - how to stop
But you’re hooked to the bandits for your life
And as you see it - it’s better than to run
But you’re deadwrong - it’s gonna kill ya
It’s gonna smash you after all
Don’t know why I can’t beat it
It feels like burning steel
It sounds like grinding metal sheets
Metal eater - it always gets you
Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine
Don’t know why I can’t beat it
It feels like burning steel
It sounds like grinding metal sheets
Metal eater - it always gets you
Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine
Metal eater - with a smile - it’s gonna kill ya
Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine
Metal eater - burning steel - it’s somehow evil
Metal eater - no one stops the money eating murder slot machine


6. DESESPERATE BALLS

You always tried to be so nice
But you always got it wrong
Day by day you played your games with me
But there’s no way you’ll win
But the time has come
I’ll start another fight
And now I’m gonna stand
Stand on my own - I’ve always been a man
Kick your desperate balls
It’s my command the mighty fall
Kick your desperate balls
Received the blow forever tall
You got desperate balls
Double talk and desperate lies
You failed to see and recognise
So sorry for your puny minds
No salvation for your kind
You tried to take me on
For you I’m way too strong
I showed you how to stand
Stand on my own - I’ll always be a man
Kick your desperate balls
So watch your back or I might call
Kick your desperate balls
From left or right or from below
You got desperate balls
You call those balls?
Feel the weight of mine!
You tried to take me on
For you I’m way too strong
I showed you how to stand
Stand on my own - I’ll always be a man
Kick your desperate balls
It’s my command the mighty fall
Kick your desperate balls
Received the blow forever tall
Kick your desperate balls
So watch your back or I might call
Kick your desperate balls
From left or right or from below
You got desperate balls
Feel the weight of mine!


7. FUTURE LAND

It’s a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can’t stand it anymore
All those nightmares - endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of darkness
Into a land of light
See the world with different eyes
There’s something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You’d better not fall behind
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t take me to the future land
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t take me to the future land
And now I’ve had enough of this ride
Just let me out of this game
So many reasons to step out and pay
Everyday it’s the same
No more hiding - deep inside me
The pictures start to be real
You’d better listen to your heartbeat again
I know I wanna be free
See the world with different eyes
There’s something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You’d better not fall behind
Don’t take me to tomorrow ( oh, no )
Don’t take me to the future land ( no lying anymore )
Don’t take me to tomorrow ( mmh, I ... )
Don’t wanna see the future land
Don’t take me to tomorrow ( into the land of light )
Don’t take me to the future land
Don’t trade your life for sorrow ( reach out for the paradise )
Stop longing for the future land
So many feelings deep in your heart
Don’t you believe in this dream
So don’t hide them deep inside you
Let them out this time, yeah
Don’t take me to tomorrow ( no lying anymore )
Don’t take me to the future land ( oh no )
Don’t take me to tomorrow ( don't take me away )
Don’t take me to the future land ( without day or night )
Don’t trade your life for sorrow ( oh no )
Stop longing for the future land ( for the land of light )
Don’t take me to the future land
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t trade your life for sorrow
Stop longing for the future land
It’s a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can’t stand it anymore
All those nightmares - endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of darkness
Into a land of light
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t take me to future land
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t wanna see the future land
Don’t trade your life for sorrow, ...


8. INDEPENDENCE DAY

One electrified eye
Freezing metalized smile
No more cheating the code
The scene is set - emotions disconnected
Welcome to the cyber trail
Laser cops and sirens wail
Held down with magnetic force
Said: come with us - you broke the law
Obey the rules - don’t do no wrong
A thought too loud - and crime is done
No appeal for the common man
Just cold hard facts - in computer land
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
Cyborg arms put the straps around
One more second ‘till the switch comes down
Flashing lights - a cage of steel
Turns my head into a dead dogs meal
In this world - robotic rage
You’ll understand the acid pain
Do no right - you won’t last long
Remote controlled - under the heel of submission
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No remorse - for human kind
No recourse - to keep your mind
It’s too late - there’s no escape
Is this the end of the line
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No use for humanity
We’ll never ever be free again
No tomorrows
Zero - the number of the year


9. THEY WANT WAR

They are young and they’re kids
And believe what they see
That to do what they’ve been told
And so they walk away with open eyes
Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly
And no one knows
Who they are, they’re smaller than the gun they load
See their eyes open wide
They died before they ever cried
They die in the streets and they die in the fields
When they do what they’ve been told
But now they’re lying dead
Their eyes are closed
Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly
And no one knows
Who they are, they’re smaller than the gun they load
See their eyes open wide
They died before they ever cried
Who taught them how - how to pray
Who told them they’re in paradise when they’re gonna die
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war, ...
You’re gonna pay the price
You little devil in disguise
For taking life with no regard
You’ll go to hell and there you’ll burn
Children in the battlefield
Please don’t go
Little birds with fluttering hearts
Please don’t go
They are blind, ...


10. IN THE DARKNESS

Why am I here now
What have I done
Running on empty
I got nowhere to run
Can’t get an answer
Can’t get it right
Just try to make it
'Till the end of the night
Is there a way to avoid doing wrong
Lead me away from the darkness
Light up my day show me where I belong
Please don’t leave me all alone in the darkness
Far in the distance
There is night, there is day
Sounds are waving
Nets of dismay
Sometimes I’m stuck in a shocking delay
Like in a slow motion movie
I’m reaching out for something to hold
Life slips away in the cold - in the cold
My heart is so cold - my heart is so cold
Why was I turned down
What’s going on
I wish there was something
That could have been done
How can I get there
Where is the light
How can I make it
'Till the end of the night
How can I turn darkness to light
Leaving my fear in the darkness
Is there a way how can I overcome
My restless nights and my fear - and my fear
In the darkness - in the darkness - in the darkness - in the darkness
In the darkness - in the darkness - in the darkness


11. FREELANCE MAN

You are a nothing and deceased
You ain’t alive at all
Don’t try to be sensible
I’ll bang your head on the wall
I got no time to be locked in
I’m a dangerous son
You’re always second
I’m the number one
Hail the battle
Take a bow
Monumental
Gonna stand my ground
I’m gonna stand my ground
'Cause I’m a freelance man
I ain’t walking I ain’t talking tonight
Heart of steel - twisted feel - I’m no easy ride
You will never ever lock me up tight
'Cause I’m a freelance man
And I’m breaking and I’m taking tonight
No mistake - don’t dictate - I’m no easy ride
Don’t you never ever lock me up tight
I’m always doing what I please
I’m always having a ball
You make me contemptible
I’ll bury you in a hole
It’s better you to be locked in
I’ll be a terrible guard
You’ll never matter
I’m still the number one
Hail the battle, ...
'Cause I’m a freelance man, ...
Turn on your brain before you talk
It was no secret what I am
You rue the day - you’ve been done over
I’m just a freelance man
Hail the battle, ...
'Cause I’m a freelance man, ...


12. NO LIMITS

One life - never been a riddle
Black nights - live it to the max
It’s all extremely done
No way - to colonise the middle
Ride hard - desperadoes at your back
Under a blood red sun
In this world - up to us
We stand or we fall - yeah
We got no limits - no hideaway
We got no limits - live today
We got no limits - the way to stay
We got no limits - no limits all the way
Gear up - life is what we make it
Rock hard - shaft it to the top
We’ve only just begun
Sun’s up - we’re gonna do some shakin’
Break out - we give it all we got
Make way ‘cause here we come
In this world we decide
To answer the call - yeah
We got no limits, ...
Power ‘n’ riches ‘n’ rank
Mean nothing at all
Render the game to the end
Once and for all - once and for all - yeah
We got no limits, ...
We got no limits - no hideaway
We got no limits - live today
We got no limits - the only way to stay
We got no limits
Everybody live the life


13. TIMEBOMB

If God would be a liar
He would be just like us
We think he knows of madness
Who says he’s got to be real
We can’t wait another day
Where do we go from here
A sin is not the only way
But that’s how it seems to be
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
The world is spitting fire
On sun and moon and stars
It can’t be our desire
Writing the rules on the wall
We can’t wait another day
Where do we go from here
A sin is not the only way
But that’s how it seems to be
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We can’t wait another day
Where do we go from here
A sin is not the only way
But that’s how it seems to be
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We are timebombs - cold killing machines
We are timebombs - cold killing machines


14. LOVEMACHINE

If you need - need a one-day lover
Just call 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - one-day lover
If you need - need a two-days lover
Just call 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - two-days lover
'Cause the love - the love I will give you
'Cause the love - the love I will give you
Is sweeter than anything else
I'm the lovemachine in town
The best you can get - fifty miles around
I'm the lovemachine in town
The best you can get - fifty miles around
If you need - need a one-day lover
Just call 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - one-day lover
'Cause the love - the love I will give you
'Cause the love - the love I will give you
Is sweeter
I'm the lovemachine in town, ...


15. I'M REBEL

They say I won’t make it to the top of the hill
Won’t take the fruit of a tree
And ev’rybody says I’m out for the kill
They’re all laughing at me
They’re all laughing at me
I’m a rebel - rebel - don’t you just know it
I’m a rebel - rebel
And they’re all laughing at me
They say I’m a danger to the public and all
I only wish they would see
I’m just a product of a screwed up world - but they’re all
They’re all laughing at me
But they’re all laughing at me
I’m a rebel - rebel - don’t you just know it
I’m a rebel - rebel - don’t you just know it
I’m a rebel - rebel
But they’re all laughing at me
Never ever wash my old blue jeans
And brush the smile off my face
But still I’m a member of the
Human race - human race - human race - human race
I’m a rebel - rebel - don’t you just know it
I’m a rebel - rebel - don’t you just know it
I’m a rebel - rebel - don’t you just know it
I’m a rebel - rebel
And they’re all laughing at me
I’m a rebel


16. FACELESS WORLD

Listen to me - this is a warning
You have to wake up out of this dream
Don’t be a member of this lifestyle, please
I hear the beat of your heart
So better watch them - don’t be frightened
Can’t you feel it - can’t you see it this time
So many things appear like wonders
Be shameless my friend - save what you’ve got
Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone
See the stars and see the rainbows - see it all
Don’t turn away - you’re all you’ve got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you can’t hide
It’s yourself who waits for you inside
So believe me, it’s not evil
To break out of this spell
Don’t be wasting a whole lifetime
Don’t betray yourself anymore
So hear me calling - this is a warning
When you feel it - don’t lose it this time
One day you will be way stronger
Be clever old friend, cause then you’ll be free
Welcome to this crazy world
You cannot blame everyone
Dreams can come true
See the stars and see the rainbows - open your eyes
Don’t turn away - you’re all you’ve got
In a faceless world
You can run - but you can’t hide
It’s yourself who waits for you inside
So hear me calling
Don’t wanna mistreat anymore
Just one desire
I want to break this spell
No more wondering
I wanna be clever this time
I hear your warning
I just wanna be myself
Saw the stars and all the rainbows - you’ve seen it all
You realised - you’re all you’ve got
In the faceless world
You tried to run - but couldn’t hide
It was you who found yourself inside
So hear me calling
Stop betraying yourself
Don’t waste all your lifetime
You’ve been mistreated so many times
In this faceless world
You’ve got to break out of this spell
Listen to your heartbeat
Be restless my friend
Just one desire: I just wanna be myself


17. THE KEY (BONUS TRACK)

Sometimes I have this scary dream
In my head
Apocalyptic scenes
It makes my instincts mad
Surrounded by machinery
The warheads never ever rest
It’s an untrustful century
So open up
You hold the key in your hand
Unlock the door to the future
You hold the key in your hand
The end of all the torture
And all the time I wake and scream
Where’s a lead
Assassinated hopes
They make my body bleed
We’re running out of energy
How did we generate this mess
Made ourselves the enemy
So open up
You hold the key in your hand, ...
Nobody’s there to help - we’re just
On our own
The epidemics rage
We rally to the call
We’re the leaders of our destiny
It’s the only other chance we’ve got
Why are we unable mentally
To open up
You hold the key in your hand, ...
You hold the key in your hand
Never say no one told ya
You hold the key in your hand
I hope the message will reach ya
You hold the key in your hand
