1#CONFUSED CONSTRUCTION
Lyrics by TB

Here we are - bombing you
With words of pain and nothing new
Back to you - shut your mouth
Listen here for the words of peace
I hate you and you hate me
What's the difference, I can't see
You hate me and I hate you
Do you see my point? it's nothing new

C: Life is confused
Nothing to lose
I am confused
Constructed to lose

Take a drink - Fuck all shit
Destroy the city and all you pricks
I say this - hello hooray
C'mon baby let's make my day
This world - so sick and grey
Do you believe we can live and stay?
Sick man - destroy our world
I am confused seeing the final call

2#BET AGAINST TIME
Lyrics by Steffe

Some say: "Death before dishonour"
But there's no pleasure in this pain
They've got a gun with silver bullets
And each bullet's got my name
My body's smashed to ruins
I got nothing you can use
So you say I had it comin'?
Well, honey, faith is no excuse

C: If time is on my side - Then bet against time
If time is on my side - Then bet against time

I asked you for forgiveness
And I offered you my bed
Since my tounge don't speak your language
I gazed in your eyes instead
This submission and degradation
Are not figments of my mind
When I turn a few rocks over
Are you afraid what I might find?

3#TEARS OF REALITY
Lyrics by Steffe

This isn't love, that's something I can't feel
This isn't sex, this is a businessdeal
This isn't love, love wasn't meant for me
This is no nightmare, this is reality

C: Yeah, I'm the greatest actress,
the greatest there will be
But there's no Oscars in this life of misery

There's no surrender, there's just defeat
No name or face, I'm just a piece of meat
There's no tomorrow, I know that goddamn well
This ain't no life, this is a living hell

C: You know I've tried - To hold back the tears
But I've cried - All these wasted years
Hold the stage - Knowing you can't win
Disengage - And push the needle deeper in

All men want, all men want control
And noone cares 'bout the scars on my soul
All men want, all men want me caged
And noone cares 'bout my silent rage

C: Yeah, I'm the greatest actress,
the greatest there will be
But there's no Oscars in this life of misery

And as I cry the world laughs in scorn
And I curse the day I was born
There's no tomorrow, I know that goddamn well
This ain't no life, this is a living hell

C: You know I've tried - To hold back the tears
But I've cried - All these wasted years
Hold the stage - Let 'em get their kicks
Disengage - Dear God, another fix

4#SQUATTING AWAY
Lyrics by TB

Are you awake and out of order?
Sleeping in hell the way of living
Future is dead - punk is alive
System is crap - say no more than that

C: Building a squat... to make my paradise
Building a squat... for a peaceful mind

System is crap - I really hate that
I smoke a pot for the old days
Living in hell in fucked up ways
Building a squat and flying away

5#WHAT OTHER MOTIVES?
Lyrics by Steffe

Tell me, what is progress?
How do you measure wealth?
When Dow Jones is reaching heaven
While the Third World's shot to hell
I heard it's for the common good
But all I fucking see
Is just a case of rampant dollar idolatry

C: You say you don't measure a man
by the size of his purse
So what other motives do you have
for raping the earth?

Investors must get interest
You say it's only fair
What about the destitutes
who don't hold any shares?
Behind words that has no meaning
You're tryin' to fuckin' hide
Exploiting workers ripping them of dignity and pride

C: You say you don't measure a man
by the size of his purse
So what other motives do you have
for raping the earth?

That's how they feed, that's how they feed
Upon homeless, starving human beings needs
That's how they breed, that's how they breed
Fornication in wastelands laid to rest by greed

6#RISE AND SHINE
Lyrics by TB

Let's open up the bottles
Let's take another drink
We just are who we are
For freedom we shall sing
Let's share our souls in peace
Drinking for all better days
Let's be just who you are
A new bottle and sing along

C: Raise up the black flag
And wave our hands
For peace and freedom
All across the lands

We play a tune for the weak
All you who can't speak
Raise your hands in cheers
For all humans with fears
We take a drink and celebrate
All you who will liberate
Liberate your soul today
All the sorrow we drink away
