But
All our values shattered and our minds bound to decline
a betrayal of what we stood for, keeps us contempt in line
enlightenment ideals, thoughts and rationalities
are probably the quickest ways to create enemies
'united we shall stand' - the war campaign is on
also, the papers claim that we're the good guys who belong
to the western hemisphere, millions suffer - we don't care,
with profit in the air
join to hear the whole damn nation scream
i don't mind refugees, but... whoaho
it's kinda wrong to throw them out, but... whoaho
"it's ok if you're different, but..." there always is this 'but'
which is a but revealing bigotry
the sphere of Academia follows factory paradigms
producing willing zombies with productive, empty minds
they will not question power, they will not disrespect
they write just to deliver what you've come to expect
you believe it is true, 'cause they're experts
throw your hands in the air - for our experts
No!
our middle classes failing - their paradigms live on
their belief systems defining what is right and what is wrong
solidarity is: wrong, goody two shoes: pretty wrong, high complexity is: wrong
join to hear the nation scream for
Another fucking top model, sing whoaho
Another fucking pop idol, sing whoaho
I support asylum seekers, but behind a border fence.
could someone fix their hardships, but not at my expense?
I'm not an outcast of society
I'm the voice of the dumbed down majority - so,
I don't mind homosexuals, but... whoaho
I was gonna pay my income tax, but... whoaho
my conscience is still kinda clear despite my bigotry and fear
I decline any responsibility
for allegedly worse inequality
BLEAH!

Hooray!

|
Hooray !
hooray for the bankers, hooray government
let's cheer for our heroes with all good intent
they hear them whistles blow, but frankly they don't care
in air-conditioned conference rooms almost every deal sounds fair
they all talk common-place, but who talks common sense?
hooray for their incompetence they boast on our expense
hooray education, hooray budget cuts
hooray for tax evading billionaire fucks
a strong economy will serve the 'greater good'
and greater good means barbed wired and gated neighborhood
and security guards that pull the trigger fast
to keep out those whose water supplies sadly didn't last
hooray for stock-market casinos in which
we play the game of inequality that
we win to stabilize the occident that
is under threat by everyone else, we bring
civilization, form wastelands to nations
how come they won't show gratitude
they'd be lost without us
hooray NSA and hooray Privacy
hooray for our half-assed gay rights policy
They watch our every move, 2 weeks later noone cares!
the viewer prefers heart-ache trash to surveillance affairs.
Consenting queer adults, are they really such a threat?
while clerical nobility shows kids how to give head!
so easily misled
morality misread
we swallow what we're fed

Make it Stop
02:50
|

|
Make it Stop
we are scared of our neighbors and afraid of our friends
we are paralyzed by fear so much we tied up our own hands we are scared of wrong decisions and we
fear society's sanctions if we don't comply with its formalities
we see it every day and yet we chose to look away we see it every day and yet we chose to look away
we are scared if too successful but afraid that we might fail we take sides for the rebels until
they're shot or put to jail we are scared if someone's different but strive for diversity
this is not dystopia, this is reality
STOP AND THINK
NO DONT BLINK GO WAKE UP MAKE IT STOP
Please, will you make it stop?
We're scared of other genders but scared of same gender sex We are scared of conformists but we
also fear rejects
our schools are short on teachers but we're buying sentry drones we're scared of terrorism but
who's invading our homes?
our actions make no sense but we're patting our backs
we stopped to search a better way, we stumble off the tracks when will we
STOP AND THINK NO DONT BLINK GO WAKE UP MAKE IT STOP
Please, will you make it stop?

Happy New Year
happy happy crisis, let's buy more fireworks
what could have been improved is what skillfully made worse our planet's population still ain't living free
or can't afford the tickets to join the party
they say it's gonna be - its gonna be ok still we stand - we stand alone!
all the children are born into a world that's so torn I wish you a very happy new year
all the problems ignored, all the school kids so bored I wish you a very happy new year
another year ahead of our war on terrorists modern warfare soldiers playing deadly exorcists
financed by a system that just drowned in stock exchange
I'm not saying "we can" - but don't you see its time to change?
they say it's gonna be - its gonna be ok still we stand - we stand alone!
education ignored cuz states rather save ford i wish you a very happy new year
hungry people aint cool if their food is our fuel I wish you a very happy new year
don't you feel how our guilt will drag us down?
don't you see how desperation makes us drown?
did you ever think 'bout how it all topped being fair?
I wish you a very happy new year!

Your Weakness
02:56
|

|
Your Weakness
work days, competition like a car race you gotta give your life a fast pace
to be up top and take the first place yeah, my routine is competition
I keep defending my position everything I do has to be perfect why am I suddenly burnt out...
Never slow me down, just get out of my way, I never sway!
and ignore all the costs of bein' the better one
empathy, compassion: gone only battles that i've won cure insecurity
focus, and pop another pill, cuz you have to stay awake, cuz sleep is for the weak, cuz
if you take a rest, (don't you fuckin' dare)
you may not look like the best (losers should beware) pull yourself together (you're weak!)
pills will make it better
facing up to challenges of the race sky-high on my pure adrenaline whoa whoa
all deprived of the ego-boost of success my fix is your impending defeat whoa whoa
all in at the showdown of the race, all in: hesitation makes you weak, whoa whoa, makes you weak,
whoa whoa
never slow me down, fuck off out of my way, I never sway costs of bein' the better one
you wouldn't know until you've won with all those problems to outrun
I just outran myself...
your weakness aint my fault
why am I still on my own out in the cold? why am I so alone?

Molochian March
Walking through city streets
swimming up a stream of people
drown in stereotypes that leave me
dizzy tumbling into what's like light
dodge another couple
their stares keep raining over me
and while I wonder what they see
I feel their wall of smiles collapse
and my mind stands still - waiting for sanity to save us
save us from all the wrong reasons
and the vortex of merchandise
pull the breaks - or lost forever
BEWARE BEWARE
beware molochians are marching
in prada-gucci uniforms
pull the breaks - or lost forever
walking down city streets
it seems there's nothing I can't buy
purchase of happiness is far beyond
what i could comprehend
the world is turning too slow
the city's speed's increasing, so
I drown in motion blur and
neon lights overwhelm my eyes
and my mind stands still - waiting for sanity to save us
save us from all the wrong reasons
and the vortex of merchandise
pull the breaks - or lost forever
BEWARE BEWARE
beware molochians are marching
in prada-gucci uniforms
pull the breaks - or lost forever
It's Idiocracy - We're Lost forever
disposable identities - We're lost forever
no tranquility - We're lost forever
Buy the crap we sell to you with pride
success is everything you need in life
buy the crap and you will be alright
buy the crap and you will see!

Mis(s)Information
03:51

|
Mis(s)Information
I never lie, I always tell the truth
I analyze world politics as well as problems with our youth
I know it all, the war crimes and pregnant celebrities
dig my advice on how to fix broken economies
business hairstyle, my designer coat and skirt
a fancy pair of glasses and you believe in what you heard
I get off on the control you give me
you believe in my infallibility
I'm the avatar of objectivity
but sometimes
I doubt that what I said was right, my teleprompter's choosing sides
a way too simple narrative, a scape-goat search imperative
I'm wondering who's pulling strings, I can't keep up with all the things
my research team pulls out its ass, I smile and let it pass,
I smile - and let it pass.
perfect make-up, all spot-lights and all camera-eyes on me
I'm all about the content, don't you call it vanity
my formal voice will help you understand about the mess
sounds so far away you will not empathize with their distress
Merlot and Xanax cocktails are the only way to sleep
I love all of the attention and my smile does not come cheap
with my trust-inducing eyelids I'm the queen of make-belief
my world as artificial as the fame that I achieve -
but sometimes
I doubt that what I said was right, my teleprompter's choosing sides
a way too simple narrative, a scape-goat search imperative
I'm wondering who's pulling strings, I can't keep up with all the things
my research team pulls out its ass, I smile and let it ...
you smile - and let it pass.

Right to Night

Right to Night
you ask the public for support while our rights will be ignored
from civil right to night
you promise financial success if we adapt to your moral mess
from civil right to night
on tv you still deny but we can see
fake smile nicely - a part of all your lies
the day is coming you'll be drowning in a pile of shit
and still deny and not admit
the day is coming you will go to hell
we are our own worst enemy incapable to see
the way it's way too late to hate the ones who fucked our fate
we have already taken the fall
last order, finish call
and you still fake its right?
it's civil night!
what will you offer so i vote for you again
will you promise money or to be my friend?
from civil right to night
or will you say "it's all ok"
will you say others have to pay?
from civil right to night
on tv you still deny but we can see
fake smile nicely - a part of all your lies
the day is coming you'll be drowning in a pile of shit
and still deny and not admit
the day i coming you will go to hell
we are our own worst enemy incapable to see
the way it's way too late to hate the ones who fucked our fate
we have already taken the fall
last order, finish call
and you still fake its right?
it's civil night!

Breakdown Conundrum

Breakdown Conundrum
Do you believe the fairy tale that core values are not for sale?
when they score their weapon deals, done without time for appeals
our politics made by cheap-ass pricks
with identities shaping the disease
of the modern nation-states exported with side effects but we ignored it because prosperity makes us forget
drowning refugees, Primark employees
because we are the cause there is no change of course.
why?.. do we keep on spreading the lie?..
teaching the poor to deny.
that our middle class is a
promise we can't keep, yet they follow it like sheep
who've been overfed, fooled and then misled
by the rich elite who will let them bleed
ignoring their prosperity is based on an economy
exploiting subjects of austerity
waste the Gaza-Strip with a flip-chart flip
cheat Greece and Iran with a business plan
and prevail - make history!
the fairy tale - is bound to fail
are we for sale? - No, we are never gonna
we're not gonna stop to call your names
we're not gonna play your power games
we are not gonna let this go away
we're not gonna buy your fake dismay
we'll make you pay?
Don't you see the pattern on repeat? we're fucking predictable
pushing hateful parties into making use of brand new armies
we have the supplies now all you need is the demand
Don't you see the pattern on repeat? we're fucking predictable
believing in the fairy tale that core values are not for sale.
Believing in the fairy tale?
Do You believe we're not for sale?

Choices

Choices:
So sure I wouldn't even wonder
What it really meant
Decisions made, the reasons simple
A railroad kind of fate
Predictably I sunk in far too deep
And now it makes me choke
The tragedy is how I got here
My life’s a joke that
Doesn’t make you laugh
The premises are sad
and all excuses long gone
the choices that we make
are the ones about to break
our minds and spirits in defeat (I'm wondering bout)
how will I get this thing right? if I lose
control will I find my way out when I'm all
alone
day by day its getting darker
the noose is tightening
the constellation of my faults
became a joke that
Doesn’t make you laugh
The premises are sad
and all excuses long gone
the choices that we make
are the ones about to break
our minds and spirits in defeat (I'm wondering bout)
how will I get this thing right? if I lose
control will I find my way out when I'm all
alone – and hope is gone
searching a way out with damage done
consequences drag me to the ground
where I'm failing and losing
desperately choosing
or throwing it all away.
I'm throwing it all away.

Phil the GeniAss
the words he read they make no sense
but can he read between the lines?
he'll question every word you say
and make up sense along the way
to bother you 'bout some shit that some random dickhead wrote
enlightenment he'll never reach, yeah, at least he tried but failed to note
there is no truth that can be found
no essence in that noisy sound
no "true good" that can be done
complexity reduced to just one
idiotic lesson he will force upon your life
he'll tell you what to think and do, yeah, dr. Phil he has no clue that
I am free to decide if I want to give a shit about the nonsense that he says
I think he just might be a little overconfident in the brains that he don't have
Phil thinks he's really smart
he knows 'bout trash and art
his hipster glasses say
"If my the new MacBook won't fit into my jute bag I'm totally not gonna buy it on release day..."
I am in this to be special
if something helps you comprehend that person didn't understand that
the point is to seem special
if everyone could understand how would they know I'm different
I am in this 'cause I'm special
If I drop another famous name I'll probably get laid
That's what I want, yeah I confess
My Name is Phil - the GeniAss........

Underclass Hell

Underclass Hell
hanging out alone
loneliness is what I hate!
I'm tweeting this, type #SUCKS
if you're able to relate.
this isn't leisure, no
this time truly is to "spare"
so bored, so out of pleasure
I can complain but they won't
care about the dreams I got
this ride was broken from the start
a simple wish / no empty heart
denied
the stuff I'm learning
serves to break and shape my mind
makes me a brain-dead asset
an obedient resource / their favorite kind
there is no future, no
i should have known it from the start
the healthy are the wealthy
making sure that I will not become
smart enough to see the plan
to keep our lives low if they can
education / long life-span
denied
We sold our dignity
to corporate trash TV
the sweatpants suit you well
i see your ass in hell
there's so much time I'm wasting / there are no dreams left / can't chase 'em / love celebrities / TV truncates realities / I'm breaking
I wish I had more money / there isn't much 'bout me to tell / a corporate boredom addict / stuck in a mess / the hell of the underclass

The Ballad of Donkeys and Carrots
you know you want it, and it's just one step away
and you can have it if you play along today
we lead - you follow, your retard mind so hollow
and luckily you'll never know
interlude
we are your teachers, we are your preachers,
we are on TV, we want you to see
the promise to you, is simple and true
this game will make somebody rich
but that surely won't be
you and yet you still don't have a clue bout
how we played this bluff so straight
carrot: only one but still a million donkeys run
to catch the bait, if you read this, it's too late, welcome to your fate
this isn't personal, this is about just control
we don't care who you are, we simply want it all
and we sure found the means of achieving such goal
for us to ride on top, donkeys take the fall
and yet you still don't have a clue about how we played
this bluff so straight
carrot on a stick, but donkeys never get the trick
don't think it's wrong, and on and on you run, below us you belong
and yet you still don't have a clue about how we played this bluff so straight
carrot only one but still a million donkeys run to catch the bait
if you read this, it's too late
welcome to your fate

Cult of the Offense

Cult of the offense
you have to fight for what is yours
ignore the warnings, stay on course,
this is war, we're the west, says a flag patch on your chest
we're the heroes, we succeed
nappyhead-nation will bleed
they stole our oil, the infidels, we'll sell 'em tanks, guns, taco bells,
democracy and civilization.
we teach 'em with TV and tanks, their hearts will soon be won, with a loaded gun.
----------
we are superior, our tanks have mp3 players and gps, and air-conditioned cabin space
poor and illiterate, why do they stick to their ideals 'bout how to live, they should be glad we came to give
capitalist economies and soldiers on patrol, and minefields close to schools we built, wait, what was our goal?
security - perimeter, a dirty house, five tango's in
they're shouting words, that I don't know, surrounded place and I scream GO
all the times I watch TV, prejudices merge, I see
5 grown men pray to false gods, I shout freeze one of them draws
something looking like a book, I hesitate, but my mate took
the shot that killed that bearded man, holding up his old Koran
muzzle flash burned old guy's face, in shooter games this part is ace
tell me now whose faith is true, looks like your god could not save you
our tainted view is seeping through; is killing you.
no respect | we reject | don't reflect | how a fact | becomes fact | how a threat | sneaks through the backdoor into our reality | we are
western empire under god, we're aggression, fear and fraud marginalize enemies, could be cure but are disease! we are offenders, we go rogue, we break our rules, we are a joke an ubiquitous insult to our brains, we are the cult of the offense
