WORK, WORK, WORK

VERS1
The alarm clock goes off at six,
you got Bacon and eggs to fix
You don't wanna live this way,

Your life is planned around your job,
when will it finally stop?

Slave away like a jerk

Fourty hours straight from nine to five,

No meaning left to your work,
your boss is a choleric berk

Clocking off you're already done,
no motivation left for fun
the same old tv shows at night,
and your life passes you by

SOCIAL SKILLS

VERS1
We are the cement that holds,
everything together
Not for love not for money,
and no matter what the weather
We work in any crisis,
You can't switch people off
But at the end of the day,
we still don't have enough

CHORUS
We educate you and care for you,
we feed you and are there for you
Is all we deserve just applause?
(Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey)
The sick and broken society,
and the loss of solidarity
Are just symptoms,
lack of respect is the cause

How dare you not see us,
for who we truly are?
We keep the system running,
we are crucial for all
Taking care of your needs,
producing all your goods
But the everyday living,
we just can't afford

CHORUS
We educate you and care for you,
we feed you and are there for you
Is all we deserve just applause?

I'm your farmer, I'm your cashier,
I'm your hair dresser

VIOLENCE

VERS 1
Violence - is no solution,
it's what they teach,
It's what they preach
Every problem can be
solved with resolutions,
they declare,
but they don't even care

'Cause in the evening
you switch on your TV
you watch the news
and all you gotta see
Grown up people
armed to the teeth,
Filled with
ignorance and grief
wearing uniforms
and killing with ease

CHORUS
(Ohh Ohh) Why, tell me why,
violence is wrong in school,
but right in Syria?
(Ohh Ohh) Why, tell me why,
double moral standards,
don't cause dysphoria?

VERS 2
Violence -
breeds more violence,
says the docent,
to the ignorant,
We are sitting
on a peaceful island,
but we can see,
the wars waged overseas

'Cause in the evening
we switch on our TV
we watch the news
and all we gotta see
Grown up people
firing guns
people losing
beloved ones
Whole nations
under the thumb

CHORUS
(Ohh Ohh) Why, tell me why,
violence is wrong in school,
but right in Syria?
(Ohh Ohh) Why, tell me why,
double moral standards,
don't cause dysphoria?

CHORUS [2x]
(Ohh Ohh) Why, tell me why,
violence is wrong in school,
but right in Syria?
(Ohh Ohh) Why, tell me why,
double moral standards,
don't cause dysphoria?

UNDER THE STATE'S SPELL

VERS 1
I'll be attentive to the rich
and prey upon the poor
Cause it's not about the people
It's the system in its core
I'll be suspicious of my neighbours
I'll spy upon my folks
And in the name of peace missions,
we just march into their homes

CHORUS
I wanna do what my state does,
a one hundred percent
I wanna loot and burn down
villages with my friends
I wanna do what my state does,
a one hundred percent
wanna murder in distant places,
without any consequence

VERS 2
Our museums are filled
With stolen art from abroad
No matter it's plundered and stolen
I don't give no thought
Wanna forget about the past
Build upon the road ahead
Let my values drown at sea
Within sight of our fortress

CHORUS
I wanna do what my state does,
a one hundred percent
I wanna loot and burn down
villages with my friends
I wanna do what my state does,
a one hundred percent
wanna murder in distant places,
without any consequence

BRIDGE
I wanna lie
I wanna scam
Blow everyone up
With my gang
I want profit growth
I don't give a shit
If I don't do my job
It will be done by lobbyists

a one hundred percent
I wanna loot and burn down
villages with my friends
I wanna do what my state does,

EMPTY WORDS

VERS 1
Another racist assault
again innocent are killed,
again lives are destroyed
The same old motives and hate
again the symptoms are fought
of causes you create

Your disbelief - just empty words
Your sympathies - just empty words
But actions - speak louder than words!

your deepest sorrow and regrets
but your might and influence
you use against the powerless
You promise your support and aid,
pretend to be the helping hand
still your might and influence
you use against the powerless

VERS 2
Another bomb hits the ground
again civilians are killed,
no questions are allowed
The same old reasons to flee
again you sell your bombs,
meanwhile they drown at sea

Your disbelief - just empty words
Your sympathies - just empty words
But actions - speak louder than words!

DOUBT

VERS 1
The moment you were born
I nested in your brain
I grew up with your help
and determined your ways
I asked you a million times,
is it right or is it wrong?
I challenged your convictions
and your mindset all along

CHORUS
I'm doubt, I'm here, I'm everything you fear
I'm the reason you're believing that the world is insincere
I'm doubt, I'm here, I'm everything you fear
I'm the delusion in your psyche that the end is near

VERS 2
I saved you from bad decisions
and provide you confidence
showed you different versions
of the same old shit again
If you control your hate,
you can handle my demands
you get to know me better
and we might become friends

CHORUS
I'm doubt, I'm here, I'm everything you fear
I'm the reason you're believing that the world is insincere
I'm doubt, I'm here, I'm everything you fear
I'm the delusion in your psyche that the end is near

BRIDGE
Question everything again and again
Mere in the self-evident death sprouts
For where faith was enthroned for a thousand years,
now there sits doubt.

CHORUS (2x)
I'm doubt, I'm here, I'm everything you fear
I'm the reason you're believing that the world is insincere
I'm doubt, I'm here, I'm everything you fear

A.O.D.

VERS 1
The minority has got everything
while the majority is suffering
the rich are bombing,
the poor are dying
The powerful takes the control
by exploiting the weak, stealing their heart and soul
some are oppressing,
the rest is complying

insisting that's the way it is
You're convinced there'll be no change
cause that is just the way it is

Vers 2

while humanity is not being heard

the good is silenced
stagnation is becoming the norm

the truth is shattered,
lies become standard

insisting that's the way it is
You're convinced there'll be no change
cause that is just the way it is
