Virtual reality

Have you ever asked yourself “What the hell am I doing here?”
This strange thing called life is so weird
What's its goal? What's its sense? Yesterday it started, tomorrow it ends
Sometimes you feel joy and sometimes pain.
It's so confusing, It's like a game
Do you know this feeling? Everything feels unreal to me
Just can't understand it this so called reality
Being born, going to school, getting a job, being fooled
People tell me what to do but they ain't got a friggin‘ clue
What life is all about - keep on living without a doubt
Power structures reproduced although there's better ways to choose
Feels like virtual reality

Smash the rackets
01:30
|

|
Gang thugs, violent fucks
Macho methods with a disgusting style
You felt repressed now you will repress
Sacrificing yourself for your asshole friends
Smash the rackets
Bäm!
Frat boys, elitist fucks
Chauvinist demeanor with slimy styling
Never been repressed but want to repress
Keeping white male asses on the economic top
Enlightment is good, laser cannons are better
But as long as it helps it doesn't matter

Let's start with you

„Too many people in this world
The planet is overcrowded
Resources are too few
It's not enough for everyone
Another world war could
improve life for the survivors“
Well that sounds great but please
Just let me add
Let's start with you
I don't need to hear your stupid ideas anymore
No more of this bullshit anymore
„No no don't get me wrong
I'm not a misantroph
Let's do it more naturally
Diseases will do the job“
Another plague? Black death?
Contagious diseases stealing your breath?
Sounds even better but still
Just let me add

Social control
02:02

It's your secret service, nice to meet ya
We supervise every square and street
Got our eyes on every spot
Profiling is an intensive job
Orwell described this pretty clear
Societies based on repression and fear
You wanna know what’s the goal?
Social control
What are you writing on the internet?
Could you be a security threat?
Watch out what you say on the phone
You’re not alone
We're hunting down the terrorists
Don't even dare to raise your fist
Against prejudices and opression
Emancipatory thinking? A transgression!
We send the cops to put you away
Lock you up, make you pay
Expressing your own opinion?
Sorry dude, that's our dominion
I don't wanna live in a police state
Yet we're not working with perfection
But society will scream for action
After terrorist acts where people died
Our efforts can be intensified

Small town punk

So much shit you have to eat
Not allowed to puke
Disgusting things to see
Your fellow men are rude
So many callous words soiling your ears
Stand alone in this mess
Feeling rage, disgust and fear
There's nothing left but your intention to fucking destroy
Small town girl, small town boy
Don't let 'em drag you down
Don't you know you're not alone
Small town queer, small town punk
You never cried to them
Just to your soul
You try to raise your voice
To distance yourself from
This cold-hearted injustice
All the shit that's going on
Pushed around and kicked around
But now you will fight back
Destroy, refuse, resist, confront and still keep your head up

21st century digital goy
01:33
|
|||
|
Sitting at your computer, checking the screen
21st century digital goy
the hottest news from the conspiracy scene
Freemasons, communist threat
Bilderberger, lizard people
East coast, Wall street, state debt
I'd love to laugh about it but I'm concerned
Knowing where your weird beliefs will end
You and your pals are antisemitic crooks
You ask „cui bono?“ I say „fuck you“
The world's a mess but who's to blame?
Powerful forces avoiding their fame?
Fake media, Hollywood
Chemtrails, mind control
Skywalkers and the deathstar

Laugh/Cry
02:05
|
|||
|
Come on, don't be like that
Why are you so grumpy?
Cheer up already
Do you wanna ruin my mood?
Laugh and the whole world will laugh with you
Cry and you will cry all alone
Dear mister, do your job
there's no place for your depression
We all have to do our share, we all have to function
This world is such a huge pile of shit
Sometimes I just can't cope with it
Gimme painkillers for my head
This society drives me mad
What to do to make a change
A better world seems out of range

Why?

Jan Bausch, 17 years of age
Young punk, drummer, first band on stage
Didn't know him for long but we shared a lot
Wonderful memories until the band split up
One early morning in november he went off to the tracks
Why did you do it? Was there no other way?
Was there nothing in this world that could have made you stay?
Why did you do it? Was there no other way?
But now it's too late and you faced your final day
Tódor Marcel, 24 years old
The story of a skate companion being told
Drugs couldn't help, this world was too grey
Psychiartric ward, where he wasn't allowed to stay
Smoked his last cigarette and stepped on the tracks

Walk alone
01:40

Hier regiert der Unverstand
Alleinherrschaftsanspruch - Hegemonie
Machtdemonstrationen - Massenhysterie
Verklärte Überhöhung, den Verein verehren
Den Gegner zum vernichtenswerten Hassobjekt erklären
Seid ihr noch ganz sauber? Was soll der ganze Zauber?
Entwürdigungskultur kultivieren und schüren
Krieg um Territorium und Ehre führen
You will never walk alone – Peer pressure
Totale Linientreue - Vernichtungsphantasien
Sich auf das Recht des Stärkeren beziehen

Power in a union
01:10
|
|||
|
There's power in a union
Where is it?
You believe in just wage for good labor
Fair competition on the free market
Capital interests equal the common good
It‘s all for the sake of the national economy
Neo classical thinking indoctrinated
Workers will profit from succesful companies
The invisible hand will set it right
Markets tend to a natural balance
Liberal bullshit
There's power in a union
But I can't see shit
There's power in a union
Where is it?

So gen-ious
02:01
|
|||
|
It's so genious
When people think they have to change
The genetic code of plants
And they know shit about it
and think it's an advance
Release your crap all over us
Don't stop! Don't stop!
The government has got your back
No more world hunger, yeah right
Feed us more economic lies
Plants that produce pesticides
Thank you aggro-business crew
Supported and protected by the law
Let's get dependent on you
