1. Power
Youīre politically correct no matter what you say
Convincing us all in every single kind of way
Cos you frame the words so that we really believe
That thereīs a depth in the message that youīre trying to achieve
So you twist your tongue to make it all sound true
Making us believe that we havenīt got a clue
You tell us all exactly what you think we want to hear
With theatrical tactics to boost your career
Every promise you make is just a promise you break
And you can never admit that you could make a mistake
Because you say one thing and you mean something else
You only care about yourself and your wealth so all I say is
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Do you want it why do you want it
With your military mind you were born a leader
And discipline and order is an everyday procedure
Sp bring out the man in every innocent boy
Amd teach them how to kill so they can search and destroy
To protect and to serve and to die with honour and pride
You say youīre fighting for peace but thatīs the biggest lie
Youīre preparing for war and your martial law
But you donīt know what itīs for any more so all I say is
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Do you want it why do you want it
Power is a sickness power is to blame
Power is a weapon and itīs driving me insane
Power is an enemy, power is pain
Power is a war but to you itīs just a game
Power is glory, power is gold
Power is chaos and youīre out of control
Power isnīt freedom, power is a cage
Power is your sin and it feeds my rage
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Power to the one who doesnīt want it
Do you want it why do you want it
2. Pay The Bill
I canīt complain Iīve made myself a name
And all I really want is five minutes of fame
Some material wealth and a life in good health
Cos all I really care about is myself
I donīt know a single thing about the situation
But why should I care about the next generation
Iīve got everything I need but I still want more
I canīt understand why you complain cos youīre poor
I donīt feel sorry for you weīve got the same possibilities
Itīs all about taking your own responsibility
I took mine so I deserve what I got
Iīve got my name on the wall of fame Iīm going straight to the top
It cost me a lot of money but I took my degree
And thatīs the biggest difference between you and me
Thereīs not a thing in the world that my money canīt buy
I canīt understand why you didnīt even try
So why complain I feel no shame Iīve used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill
So why complain I feel no shame Iīve used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill
You canīt blame me because youīre underfed
You should be glad that youīve got a roof over your head
If you worked for a living you could pay your rent
Instead of begging me for help when all youīre moneyīs spent
You wonīt ever fool me because I know your type
I see you standing on the corner like a parasite
Youīre a loser and you know it but you donīt even care
I canīt understand why you say life ainīt fair
So why complain I feel no shame Iīve used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill
So why complain I feel no shame Iīve used my skill
And the next generation has to pay the bill
Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay the bill
The next generation has to pay pay the bill
Give me one good reason why I shouldnīt complain
Iīve done everything I can but itīs still the same
Iīve got nothing to lose so why should I give a fuck
My lifeīs a piece of shit and thatīs where Iīm stuck
I never got a fair chance to even prove myself
So tell me why should I be nice to anybody else
You say you canīt understand why I say life is a bitch
I canīt understand how you can be so rich
So what do you mean weīve got the same possibilities
I havenīt even got your educational abilities
I dropped out of school before I took me degree
Cos the welfare line made more sense to me
I try to work for a living so I can pay all my debts
And Iīve come to realize this is as good as it gets
I hate my fucking life more than you hate me
I just canīt understand why this is how it should be
So I complain itīs still the same
Weīre standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill
So I complain itīs still the same
Weīre standing still while the next generation has to pay the bill
Pay the bill pay the bill the next generation has to pay, pay the bill
3. Pin Me Down
I try to hide and deny my inner thoughts and true reactions
By fooling myself with ill-concealed dissatisfaction
I canīt take it any more I canīt stand the situation
I donīt want to be a victim of another confrontation
Iīll pretend that I know I need you to sympathize
Iīm so unsure of myself so please donīt you criticize
You can bend me and shake me you can twist me till I break
And whatever you do Iīll take the blame for your mistakes
Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth
When I need to shout you pin me down
I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out
You want to shape me up so that you can mould me in
You want to fold me out just so you can fit me in
You feed me full with your discriminating terrible lies
What do you want from me should I believe in all your alibies
I donīt know where to go so which way should I turn
I try to understand but you donīt want me to learn
You tie my feet to the ground thereīs not a chance that I can walk
I want to scream but you gag my mouth so I canīt talk
Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth
When I need to shout you pin me down
I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out
You want to stretch me out just so you can pin me down
You want to dry me out just so you can watch me drown
You want to watch me starve so you can force me to eat
And then you knock me down when Iīm back on my feet
Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth
When I need to shout you pin me down
I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out
4. Waste My Time
From the white manīs mouth and the white manīs tongue
Thereīs been hundreds of years of diabolical dung
So much prejudice piss has been trickling down
And I can smell the shit coming from miles around
Youīre so full of shit youīre out of your mind
What the fuck is wrong donīt waste my time
Waste my time
Iīm not white Iīm punk the but colour of my face
Represents a fucking farce called the superior face
White power bullshit Iīll wipe my pink fucking ass
With your swastika flag cos it belongs to the past
You want me to believe that dark skin is a sin
Well wake up itīs 95 where the fuck have you been
What are you trying to achieve with your racist crap
That shitīs coming out the crack from the bottom of your back
Youīre so full of shit youīre out of your mind
What the fuck is wrong donīt waste my time
Waste my time
You are making me sick with your pathetic ricks
You try to tell me different colours donīt mix
You tell us so many lies that you believe them yourself
You spent your whole life blaming everyone else
Youīre so full of shit youīre out of your mind
What the fuck is wrong donīt waste my time
Waste my time
5. Die High
Going down slow, how low can you get
Before you break yourself and wake up in a sweat
On the killing floor with the damage done
You can pity yourself but your race is run
You can climb the walls without reaching the top
And the higher you feel the further you drop
But you just want to get high
Going one step further, slipping down the line
Youīre living your life on borrowed time
How much abuse can you take from yourself
Is your addiction worth more than life itself
When you make the bet you have to pay the debt
And if youīre lucky you can live with your own reget or you can get high
Get high push your luck to the limit
Youīre gonna die high
Get high if you think you can win it
Youīre gonna die high
Donīt lie cos youīre stuck right in it
Youīre gonna die high
Get high why the fuck are you in it
Youīre gonna die high
Thereīs a lot of good reasons but no excuse
You can never justify your drug abuse
You can legalize the hit but the problems remain
You still feel like shit the effectīs the same
Youīre wasting your time with that fucking crap
The choice is yours and I can give you that
And you still want to get high
Get high push your luck to the limit
Youīre gonna die high
Get high if you think you can win it
Youīre gonna die high
Donīt lie cos youīre stuck right in it
Youīre gonna die high
Get high why the fuck are you in it
Youīre gonna die high
You can never rely on the drugs you buy
You can never deny all the tricks you try
You can do anything just to get your fix
You can try anything just to get your kicks
You donīt hesitate to cheat or lie
And bad excuse is a good abili
You say you hate yourself and you want to die
But itīs all the same you still want to get high
Get high push your luck to the limit
Youīre gonna die high
Get high if you think you can win it
Youīre gonna die high
Donīt lie cos youīre stuck right in it
Youīre gonna die high
Get high why the fuck are you in it
Youīre gonna die high
6. It
I can hear it in your voice I can see it in your eyes
I can smell it in the air I can hear it in your sighs
The way you look at me and the way that you act
The way you make me feel I have to react
Is it beautiful enough to keep you begging for more
Itīs painful to see I canīt take it any more
I know what it is I can see it in my dreams
I know what itīs like I know what it means
I can make it go away I can make it disappear
I can make it right I can make it happen here
Feels like I have to do it it has to be done
Itīs time to get it over with itīs useless to run
It could have been something nice you said to me
But I can hear it in your voice you just pity me
You make fun out of me and every word that I say
And I can hear you laugh when I walk away
So donīt try to be nice and donīt you try to pretend
You donīt know who I am Iīm not your friend
You donīt think I know but I can read between the lines
Donīt smile Iīm not your clown I can see all the signs
Nobody knows it and nobody can see
Iīm not talking to you but youīre smiling at me
I know itīs gonna happen but I donīt know when
But itīs happened before and it can happen again
I want to do things to you that youīll never forget
Itīs not an empty threat you deserve what you get
7. Do What I Say
Donīt to this donīt do that
Donīt you ever talk back
Donīt speak with food in your mouth
Just keep quiet while the grown ups are talking
Iīm not being mean Iīm just being fair
Itīs just because I really care
You know that I love you
But shut your mouth you just have to do what I say
I donīt want you to lie
Youīre much too old to cry
Youīre just to young to know
But when youīre older youīll understand
You are mine I own you
Look at me Iīm talking to you
Donīt use that tone to me
So shut your mouth you just have to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way
Iīve paid to raise you good
Done everything I could so donīt you dare to say
That I ever cared about you anyway
I gave you good food to eat
I kept you on your feet
I gave you all my good advice
Not once did I hear you thank me for all that Iīve done
You donīt know anything
About my suffering
I went through a lot of pain
Just to get you where you are today
If I ever hit you
Itīs because I have to
You have done something wrong
And you deserve the punishment, youīll have to pay
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way
Donīt ask me why not
Be glad with what youīve got
DOnīt tell me youīre alone
You should be glad that you have a home
Just look me in the eyes
You have to realize
I make the rules thatīs it
Itīs for your own good so you have to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way
8. Undone
When I was young I was taught to throw sticks and stones
Because sticks and stones they could break your bones
The only way to get ahead that made any kind of sense
Was to enrich myself at other peopleīs expense
I could walk over corpses to make myself a name
I would cheat and I could lie without showing no shame
People tried to stop me but they didnīt understand
I wasnīt looking for affection or a helping hand
Why doesnīt anybody listen
Why doesnīt anybody hear
Why doesnīt anybody see me
Why doesnīt you interfere
Donīt ask me why
I never told the truth cos I believe all my lies
I believed that if I made my own alibis
I would find a good reason and a better excuse
So I could justify my hate and my self abuse
I would satisfy myself in any way I could
Because I knew that I would always be misunderstood
I did a lot of mean things that are hard to forgive
But all I ever wanted was a life to live
Why doesnīt anybody listen
Why doesnīt anybody hear
Why doesnīt anybody see me
Why doesnīt you interfere
Donīt ask me why
Looking back at my life thereīs a lot I regret
I made a lot of mistakes that I can never forget
But I didnīt know better I was insecure
I guess I never took care of my problems before
I feel bad about the people that I pushed around
I feel bad about the people that I let down
I put the blame on myself I canīt look the other way
Living with my guilt is the price I have to pay
Why doesnīt anybody listen
Why doesnīt anybody hear
Why doesnīt anybody see me
Why doesnīt you interfere
Donīt ask me why
9. What Are You Afraid Of?
What a scam, you see Iīm living in a land
Where the present situation is getting out of hand
Racist brutalityīs an everyday reality
It doesnīt take more than a different nationality
Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time
To get abused or accused of committing a crime
If itīs a sign of the time then itīs time to change your mind
And leave your fucking ignorance way behind
So face the facts cos that shit is played out
You havenīt got the slightest clue what youīre talking about
Because the problem is you and your racist buddies
Prejudice right wing small time nobodies
What are you afraid of
Whatīs your prejudice made of
What are you afraid of
The only one thatīs coming with a threat is you
So what the fuck are you afraid of
Itīs about true the real problem is you
Because youīve made up your mind to hate them all
Except you say send them all back to where theyīre coming from
But it ainīt that fun to be living on the run
You wouldnīt want to age a gun blow the brains out your head
So try to understand the shit theyīre going through instead
Because a woman or a man with a different face colour
Is exactly the same as your own sister or brother
What are you afraid of
Whatīs your prejudice made of
What are you afraid of
So first we let them in and then you want to throw them out
Well Iīd really like to know what all this shit is about
Is it you are you afraid of whatīs new
Are you afraid of everyone that doesnīt look like you
Itīs just a colour and Iīm colour blind
The only colour I know is the colour of my mind
Thereīs only one race and thatīs the human race
And every human beingīs got the right to feel safe
So stop this insanity and take a look around
Get a hold of yourself and get your feet on the ground
Stop playing around this shit has got to cease
In the name of understanding in the name of peace
What are you afraid of
Whatīs your prejudice made of
What are you afraid of
10. Back To The Basics
ack to the basics supernaturalistic
Baby put away your make up and your lipstick
High heels tight skirts the rest of all your plastic
Iīm telling you itīs making you look even more spastic
Hanging at the hot spots looking for attention
Showing off your brand new silicone extension
All the menīll be staring but they only want to slam it
They couldnīt give a fuck about your inside damn it
Back to the basics living as you earn
So forget about your money let it burn baby burn
You canīt have it all how hard to ever try
No matter what you get thereīs always more you can buy
So walk it like you talk it forget about your street smart
The friends in your surrounding love you for your real heart
Spending all your money, boy donīt waste it
Right about now weīre going back to the basics
I know where I want to go but in case you didnīt know Iīm going
back to
the basics
Donīt be ashamed about the way you might look
Because you donīt read a person like you read a comic book
Thereīs a whole lot more than meets the eye
And if you hear something else then itīs a goddamn lie
The way youīre going out is really getting to me
Cos people only see what they want to see
If life ainīt more than money and a facelift
Right about now weīre going back to the basics
I know where I want to go but in case you didnīt know weīre going
back to
the basics
11. Easy Way Out
Introspection self perfection
Are you scared of your reflection
Suicide is no solution
Try to make your contribution
Donīt believe in resurrection
You wonīt find the lost connection
Life is only what you make it
So decide if you can take it
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
Do you like the situation
Can you take the penetration
When youīve made your reputation
Take care of your own frustration
Life is hard donīt make it worse
Donīt tell me your lifeīs a curse
You canīt regret the choice youīve made
If you decide what chords are played
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
Can you feel your own frustration
Can you grip the situation
Do you feel determination
Do you feel the suffocation
Do you feel the sterilization
Do you feel the strangulation
Donīt say that you donīt want to live your life anyway
Donīt say that you canīt take another day
Donīt say nobody cares about you anyway
Do you know what your friends would say
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
There is no easy way out
12. Tomorrow
How many times will it take before we pull the breaks
Will we learn from all the past mistakes
That itīs all about give or take
How many times will it take before we start to make
Can we make hope out of hate
Can we set the records straight
Now I want to get the message through to you
How can I make you understand
Youīve got to give a helping hand
What do we need, is it to achieve and believe
Is it that weīve got to be true
Is it just a point of view
Some day there will be a tomorrow
Another day another vice another roll of the dice
Some way there will be a tomorrow tomorrow
Too many times there has been too many different signs
That too many peopleīs minds
In the past have been blind
How much of our time can we spend wasting our time
Even all the biggest crimes
Are coming from inside our minds
Itīs up to you, will you do what can be done
Will you let the rat race be run
Do you think it can be won
So whatīs the cause, why do we need so many laws
We donīt need another war
We canīt win them any more
Some day there will be a tomorrow
Another day another vice another roll of the dice
Some way there will be a tomorrow tomorrow
How many times will it take before we start to make
Can we make hope out of hate
Can we set the records straight
What can we do
What can we say
Is there a way
To get the message through to you
Some day there will be a tomorrow
Another day another vice another roll of the dice
Some way there will be a tomorrow tomorrow
