What'cha Gonna Do?
05:30
|
|||
Anything you say or do
You know they keep an eye on you
Anything you’ll try to say
They’ll check if it would sound ok
But you were told
You live in a free world
But lately it seems
They were completely wrong
Stupid TV shows and ads
Created needs you never had
You buy an expensive phone while
The bank confiscates your home
And every day,
You feel you lose control
And pretty soon
You know you’ll lose it all
I don’t want it
You don’t want it
What'cha gonna do?
Now that they will come for you…
Air and water
Sons and daughters
All sold to the firm
So what is left for you to do?

Some people like to walk
And some like to run.
Some of them let you down
And some lift you up.
Don’t ever let them fuck with your mind
And never trust a stranger with your heart.
Some faces shine too bright
But have a painted smile.
Sweet words leave poisonous lips
With arsenic vowels…
Don’t ever let them play games with your mind
And never trust a stranger with your heart.
Be yourself, ‘cause everyone else is taken

Dirty Little Secrets
03:39
|
|||
I am your consciousness so you can’t hide from me.
We’ve been together since you were a little kid.
I know your hopes and fears
Your wounds, you try to hide…
I know you’re not the one that you pretend to be ‘cause I…
I know your little secrets
Your dirty little secrets

Hell bet on me to lose
And now I have to choose
It’s you or me, my Babe
Well, we all learn the hard way
You’re wrong – when I am right
You say Black – When I say White
I’ve had all this before
So now Baby, I choose to go
‘Cause
Hell bet on me to lose
More work with less to gain
I love living, but I hate the pain
My job is not good for me
Let’s call it quits, I’ve had enough of this…
Hit the brake, step on the gas
Police are after me, I gotta be fast
I will get busted for driving drunk
Life is bittersweet and I am out of luck
But
Hell bet on me to lose
“That’s all that I did, Judge”
And he shouted, “Guilty as charged”
And sentenced me for life
To have you as my wife
You’re wrong – when I am right
You say Black – When I say White
I’ve had all this before
But there is a guard outside my door

Rock'n'Roll Puppet
04:14
|
|||
One day he was offered a deal he couldn’t resist.
Every dream he ever had would come true as long as he would offer his services to them…
Rich and famous, sharp and beautiful, a harmless role model for society.
In exchange they wanted
Every note he ever played
All the talent he ever had
“Happiness” was not mentioned in the contract ‘cause… Hey, wouldn’t he be happy with money and fame?
He had to give them his body and soul
He signed with his blood and became their rock’n’roll puppet
Once, in a little town, a gifted kid came to life.
He was the youngest one in a family of five.
He had great talent
Played harmonica like no other
Soon he became the talk of his little town…
Then came a day he realized that everything was a lie
That flickering light inside him was about to die
Try to do something about it,
Cry for help and live without it,
See someone and talk about it,
Move your feet and go around this mess you got yourself into ‘cause they fucked up your mind turning you into their puppet, their rock’n’roll puppet…

Busking
01:29
|
|||
Being lonely and blue doesn’t help remain true
To yourself and to those you really care for.
As we all need a friend,
We all do pretend to be accepted.
This ends here for me,
For all to see,
That I stand corrected.

Big
04:25
|
|||
Mother says, I gotta make it big
No matter how big, I will always be her sweet boy.
Father says, I’m a worthless shit
I gotta make it big, to prove that he is wrong.
Brother says, he’s gonna make it big
‘Cause the bigger he gets, the more his life has value.
Sister takes no part in this
The only thing she wants is to make it out of this place…
But I…
Have my dreams
Safely locked
In a musical box
What makes you feel's always real
While all the rest
While all the rest, is what dreams do best...
Yeah babe
It's what dreams do...
Big Time
Big dreams ahead
Big Time
It’s what dreams do best
Big Time
What parents dream for you
Sometimes I have this feeling and I can’t breathe
My sight gets all blurry and everything turns scary…

Mother Nature
04:12
|

Good morning Mother Nature
What do you have for me?
Some cute little creature or nice scenery?
I’ll hurt you,
‘Cause this is all we humans do.
I’ll make you bleed
But first I’ll rip off what I need from you
Mother Nature
What do you have for me?
Mother Nature
How grateful we should be
Instead of loving you
We kill you day by day
We poison you any way we can
Oh this trip, around the sun…
Thank you for every given day
(Earth’s average orbital speed is about 19 miles per second)
For every day
For everything you give

Last Day of Sorrow
02:09
|
|||
This is your last day of sorrow
A breed of Druids rules this planet
Priests of a huge divine orb.
They come through crystal balls in each believer’s home
Preaching your last day of sorrow…
Do you wanna be rich? (Yeah)
You wanna be happy? (Sure)
Just stay true to their rules
If you got the message shake your chains like you just don’t care at all
There won’t be pain in this new world
They promised one day loud and clear
Just mind your job and they might keep their word
For this to be your last day of sorrow
A breed of Masters rules the planet
Planning their profitable move
Could be a war or an untreatable disease
A non-stop last day of sorrow…
Don’t see the world through rose-coloured glasses
Don’t you believe this world, no more…

That Part of The Show
03:02
|

…And now, the part of the show
That she goes on stage
And we all go, you know… WOW
She’s perfectly shaped
So don’t be late
Make your move
She’s the perfect date
Not so fast
It might not last
You’re both caught in a trap
Check again your feelings ‘cause it’s that part of the show now…
It’s that part of the show now
It’s that part of your life
Don’t ever use the word “forever”
For vows you’re not able to keep
No one’s on top
Cause this might not last
You’re both caught in a trap
Deal with your egos cause it’s that part of the show…

Man: "Would you give me back the silk soul I had when I was a child?
Sniffing new smells like a puppy full of bliss.
Fighting imaginary dragons that later came alive…"
Woman: "I think I saw you the other day on a Vivian Maier's photo...
I always wanted to meet ya, I'm a big fan of yours.."

Evolution
02:55
|

From deep dark caves – to outer space
We’re done with our world, and we’re coming your way.
Man #1 - Fast cars and fancy clothes
Man #2 - White lines up your nose.
Scientist - We are doing Experiments on other creatures
Dark witness - Corporations with big secrets.
Tele Evangelist - Spread the seed of hate and racism
Drop some bombs, looks fascinating.
Secretary - Session with your therapist in 3,2,1

Carry On
04:03
|
|||
I know you’re looking for some answers
In this journey we call life
I know you’re looking for some guidance
To find your way through the night.
There are no available directions…
There is no map to help you out…
Only this little voice inside you
That leads you all the way around…
So carry on
Carry on
It’s a harsh world out there
But you can get along.
Carry on
Carry on
Make your dreams come true.
Role models seem to be confusing
While you try hard to free your mind.
And stuff they say it’s for your healing
It’s just the stuff that turns you blind.
I know, you know, they know… sometimes
Their ways seem to work just fine.
But there are times you feel you’re lost and
You turn your face and start to cry…
So carry on
Carry on
It’s a harsh world out there
But you can get along.
Carry on
Carry on
Make your dreams come true
