Another Monday morning
Don’t wanna work - I need some sleep
Life might be hard and life might be fun
But it certainly isn’t cheap.
My motivation: make a livin’
Keep the balance with what I'm givin’
But when what I'm givin’ is my time
No sum could come up with what is mine
Can you relate, can you relate?
With this song full of hate
Can you relate, can you relate?
With this song full of hate
Can you relate?
I’ve become so bitter, I’ve been so alive
I’m stuck in the past, and my life is a lie
The explanations I give to myself
Keeps me calm and from killing myself
Every second of every second dream
Reminds me of what my life could have been
And I am so close to going insane
And nothing but memories will remain
Can you relate, can you relate?
With this song full of hate
Can you relate, can you relate?
With this song full of hate
Can you relate?
And a blast
From the past
Made me realize at last
The teenage years are finally over - and what is done is done
You're a grown-up now - you're a grown-up now
Now start to act like one
You're grown up now - you're grown up now
Now start to act like one
Can you relate, can you relate?
With this song full of hate
Can you relate, can you relate?
With this song full of hate
Can you relate?

Never Paid My Dues
02:14
|

Everyone is guilty
Guilty just as me
Everyone is guilty as part of
Our society
See, I told you I’m not breaking
And I will not back down
The goal - not to show weakness
Hold the fort and not the town
And I never paid my dues
All I do is sing the blues
And I never paid my dues
All I do is sing the blues
It’s not a win-win situation
At least not for you
I will get my bonus
And there’s nothing you can do
To keep your job or keep your house
I´m the cat – you’re just the mouse
To keep your job or keep your house
I´m the cat – you’re just the mouse
And I never paid my dues
All I do is sing the blues
And I never paid my dues
All I do is sing the blues
Our everyday life
Is bound by laws
But when we talk about economy
It’s total anarchy
We trusted non-existing morals
To beat the oh-so-human greed
And now it’s pretty obvious
We didn’t get what we need
But we got what we deserved
We got what we deserved
We got what we deserved

This Might Be A Warning
02:36
|
|||
This just might be a warning
This just isn’t our fault
This just might be a warning
This just isn’t our fault
Here we go
When everything turns against you
And everyone knows just why
Everyone knows what to do
And you won’t even try
To understand, to empathise
He knows the truth but he denies
His guilt and his visions
Our future has been circumcised
This just might be a warning
This just isn’t our fault
This just might be a warning
This just isn’t our fault
Can it get any better?
Without drastic changes
Didn’t know it was coming?
Cause I knew it for ages
This just might be a warning
This just isn’t our fault
This just might be a warning
This just isn’t our fault
Do I have a solution? – No!
I don’t know what to do
Do I know better? – No!
Not better than you do
It will get worse, better deal with it now
It will get worse, better live with it now
It will get worse, better deal with it now
It will get worse, better live with it now

We Forget
03:00
|
|||
Remember last year
Remember years ago
Remember all you’ve ever known
Now take the right part of it
How could you ever forget?
Everything’s important
I know that
We get angry
We tend to speak our minds
But we forget all the time
I don’t know why we forget
It’s just something that we do
I don’t know why we forget
I forget but so do you
We forgive, not cause we want to
But because we can
I forget, because I have to
Because that’s who I am
We get angry
We tend to speak our minds
But we forget all the time
I don’t know why we forget
It’s just something that we do
I don’t know why we forget
I forget but so do you
I don’t know why I did forget
It's just something that I did
So how can we choose and decide
I know something isn’t right
Our system is flawed by design
Our system is flawed by design
Our system is flawed by design
Accept your situation
Like I did mine
I don’t know why we forget
It’s just something that we do
I don’t know why we forget
I forget but so do you

That One
02:55
|
|||
You’re fading away
Got nothing to say
You’re fading away
We’re not getting ahead
With what is said
We’re standing still instead
He’s the one to hold you when you cry
He’s the one to hold you when you die
He’s the one to shake your hand when you lie
That one, that one
Will be relieved when it’s done
That one, that one
Will still grieve when you’re gone
When you’re gone
No one listens to what that you say
You get accused, anyway
I don’t (really) care about how you roll
You never had a chance with me at all
He’s the one to hold you when you cry
He’s the one to hold you when you die
He’s the one to shake your hand when you lie
That one, that one
Will be relieved when it’s done
That one, that one
Will still grieve when you’re gone
That one, that one
Will be relieved when it’s done
That one, that one
Will still grieve when you’re gone
It’s all over now
It’s all over now
It’s all over now
It’s fuckin’ over now
It’s all over now
The face of our problems is now gone
It’s not all over now
Cause the problems they live on
That one, that one
Is just the better solution
That one, that one
Is just the better solution
Solution

Ordinary Me
03:25
|
|||
Basically,
You tried to invent
Something new, but in the end
All you did
Was sit around
And enjoy yourself
And enjoy yourself
As long as you can
As long as you can
As long as you can
As long as you can
Ordinary
You don’t want to be
Ordinary
Just like me
I failed to
Impress you
I’ll stop to
Harass you
I made a point
By failing all the way
At least I don’t need to
Tell myself every day
How good I am
At everything
And try to be different
Just to be different
Ordinary
You don't want to be
Ordinary
Just like me
I failed to
Impress you
I’ll stop to
Harass you
You wanted to be different
You wanted to be different
Cause all you wanted was
Not to be, not to be
Ordinary just like me

Believe In Me
02:06
|
|||
I am the state, I am your fate
I am your dream and nightmare
I am the law, I am the war
I am a weapon, why would I care
The day you told your lies
Was the day I realized
That we could believe
In almost anything
Believe it or not
Is the option you got
The day that you were born
So decide on your own
Believe in
Believe in me
Not to believe
Believe in me
Believe in
Believe in me
Not to believe
Believe in me
I am the state, I am your fate
I am your dream and nightmare
I am the law, I am the war
I am a weapon - Why would I care?
So please tell me
That you won’t let
Someone else decide for you
Not even me
Educate yourself
Knowledge is the key
That you have to know
Believe in
Believe in me
Not to believe
Believe in me
Believe in
Believe in me
Not to believe
Believe in me

An open letter that you'll never read
Or even get to know what it is about
Still it should be better
Cause those aren't
My best manners
When I scream and shout
And I did scream and shout a lot
About my little world
And I did scream and shout a lot
About my distrust in god
We’ve got great expectations
Great expectations
In this new generation
New generation
We’ve got great expectations
Great expectations
In this new generation
New generation
Hard to satisfy easy to accept
Cause of the low bar that was set
So easily with so much care
I knew it wasn’t leading anywhere
We’ve got great expectations
Great expectations
In this new generation
New generation
We’ve got great expectations
Great expectations
In this new generation
New generation
I was scared shitless - and now it’s okay
I was scared shitless - and it didn’t go away
I was scared shitless – didn’t know what to do
I was scared shitless - and you should have been too
We’ve got great expectations
Great expectations
In this new generation
New generation
We’ve got great expectations
Great expectations
In this new generation
New generation

Failure and Excuses
03:22
|
|||
When falling is so easy
The hardest thing is rising up
Or masquerading the whole fact
That you came from the top
And so failing is so easy
It’s impossible to succeed
It’s not easy to maintain all the things
That we think that we need
And like a phoenix from the ashes
We will rise again
And again, and again, and again
Like a phoenix from the ashes
We will rise again
And again, and again, and again
So while we discuss it all once more
I see her saying what we need to do
But all I hear is tactics for
Her own benefits
Measuring with different standards
And the future in the eyes
How she handled these decisions
Was not a big surprise
And like a phoenix from the ashes
We will rise again
And again, and again, and again
Like a phoenix from the ashes
We will rise again
And again, and again, and again
When falling is so easy
The convenient thing is falling down
Never knowing what
The day would bring
Cause failing is so easy
There’s nothing to expect
Use this power
To overcome the past
And resurrect
Resurrect
Resurrect

Career Suicide
02:52
|
|||
It’s not a crime to set a friend straight
But it’s a crime to realize to late
What you did to yourself
This is just a cry for help
So I keep on doing what I do
My career suicide...
So I keep on doing what I do
Cause I think it should be right
You’re a friend, you’re a father
You’re a puppy, you’re a dog
And to a certain degree you do rock
You’re a friend, you’re a father
You‘re a puppy, you’re a dog
And to a certain degree you do rock
I think it’s hard to trust in myself
I betrayed everyone around
And my path is leading to hell
It’s not as bad as it sounds
You’re a friend, you’re a father
You’re a puppy, you’re a dog
And to a certain degree you do rock
You’re a friend, you’re a father
You‘re a puppy, you’re a dog
And to a certain degree you do rock
Maybe then one day
I will set you straight
Maybe then one day
I will get things made
I hope that on that day
Everything will end up okay
And the trouble will go away
With every word that I say
But you wouldn’t understand it
Your accusations would just blend in with
The typical ending of a friendship
And the headache triggered by a bad trip
You’re still a friend, you’re a father
You’re a puppy, you’re a dog
And to a certain degree you do rock
You’re still a friend, you’re a father
You‘re a puppy, you’re a dog
And to a certain degree you do rock

My Privacy 2.0

Dear Mister Minister
When did you get so sinister
Everyone’s a criminal in your eyes
No one is innocent
Found myself living in
This land
Of murderers, thieves and terrorists
But you tell everyone
That they are what they’ll become
You self-fullfill the prophecy
In your eyes
In your eyes
There is this fear
This fear of disguise
The fear in your eyes
In your eyes
Is why you are
You are out of control
You are out of control
Dear Mister Minister
Time machine set on ‘84
But so much worse than before
What’s your idea of our futures
Build Detention-Centers
And go for the kill
In your eyes
In your eyes
There is this fear
This fear of disguise
The fear in your eyes
In your eyes
Is why you are
You are out of control
You are out of control
Am I on your list now
Did I end up on it
On it somehow
You’re accountable for this
And once again
Ignorance is bliss
It’s all in your head
All in your head
All in your head
All in your head
This fear in your head

Hey Hey, this is me
Chocking on this since 2003
In case you forgot
That to me and you it meant a lot
I lost something that year
Something I don’t wanna hear
Me singing all over again
Seems like I lost my masterplan
And it won’t come back again
And it won’t come back again
and I won’t go back again
No I won’t go back again
Remember when we had that dream
And we once fought to make it real
Even though we already knew
It was way past what we could do
I lost something that year
Something I don’t wanna hear
Me singing all over again
Seems like I lost my masterplan
And it won’t come back again
And it won’t come back again
and I won’t go back again
No I won’t go back again
Did you forget, did you forget
What an easy life we had
Did you forget, did you forget
When black and white turned into that
Endless black
When black and white turned into that

Eco-comical
01:54
|

For years you’ve been making profits
You collected everyone’s deeds
You’ve been the devil’s advocate
You deny the connections
You deny your own actions
You are the devil’s advocate
Now you can drown in your own soil
And if you drag me down
Down to the ground
I'll still be around
Now you can drown in your own soil
And if you drag me down
Down to the ground
I'll still be around
Economically speaking
You’re the disaster
You’re the monster that we’re after
Hope and resignation
Are fragile companions
You fuck the world we’re just the minions
Now you can drown in your own soil
And if you drag me down
Down to the ground
I'll still be around
Now you can drown in your own soil
And if you drag me down
Down to the ground
I'll still be around
Unlike you - cause of what you do
We need to get rid of you
Unlike you - cause of what you do
We need to get rid of you

A Life To Remember
03:17
|
|||
Could you please explain
Why some memories remain
And sometimes I don’t know
What I did the day before
They say: Life is the moments you remember
I don’t remember much
I hear me saying: You can't live forever
Always stay in touch with yourself
So make this day, a day to remember
This day, this week, this month, this year
And certainly this life, forget to be at strife
Cause it is the only one you’ll have
Make this day a day to remember
Make every day a day to remember
These are days that make you remember
The good times and the bad
Let’s just hope there are more memories
Of the good times that you had
That’s the way to live your life
Don’t let the bad times take control
Let’s make it the way that you won't regret
A single day when you are dead
So make this day, a day to remember
This day, this week, this month, this year
And certainly this life, forget to be at strife
Cause it is the only one you’ll have
Make this day a day to remember
Make every day a day to remember
Unlikely the truth is
That’s easier said than done
Life is hard - struggle -
Try to keep it fun
Forget you’re feeling old
Forget what I told you
Make every day
A day to remember
Make every day
A day to remember
Every day
A day to remember

I Will Never Know
01:59
|

I will never know, how it feels to you
What satisfaction's like, from your view
Low expectations had it’s way with me
Both a blessing and a curse - you see
I'm living in the fast lane
My songs sound all the same
Not a song that really makes you smile
Music changing our lives
While we are having fun
Don't ever forget to let me
Know when you’re done
I will never know, how it feels to you
What satisfaction's like, from your view
Low expectations had it’s way with me
Both a blessing and a curse - you see
I don’t expect much
And I usually
Settle for less
It’s my way of life
It’s how I progress
Cause it’s sometimes okay
To settle for less
I will never know how it feels
I will never know how it feels
