1. Prelude of Pain
2. Independence
get it into your brain
get it out in the open air
and get it into your brain
’cause you know what you want
yeah, you know what you want
when you get it
so get it into your brain
you get peace in our time
you get peace in our time
if you get it
so get it into your brain
it will just be a dream
it will just be a dream
’til you get it
so get it into your brain
independence
get it now!
you can be your own god
you can be your own god
do you get it?
well, get it into your brain
a kingdome will rise
a kingdome will rise
when you get it
so get it into your brain
we will do unto you
we will do unto you
as you do unto us
get it into your brain
there’s no point in life
there’s no point in life
but a big point in living
3. Disembodiment
let your life to politicians
bow unto the lord
put your trust in holy money
if you can afford
it’s your own responsability
to turn life on
time hangs heavy in your hands
and then one day your gone
people keep telling me what is right
the discrimination is justy and might
life is a hell of a beast to track
while still getting lectured behind my back
disgorge the unsaid
disembodiment
the paranoia is eating your brain
reality is shattered with bloody stains
experience life as it passes by
today is as good a day as any to die
free to make my choice!
so batter the preachers, fight their beliefs
don’t let yourself be the one who’s decieved
spare me the crap that i once have declined
and get the hell out ’cause i’m having my line
4. Balance of Pain
good times, bad times
there’s no difference
it’s always the weak who get
shoved down the drain
rich man, poor man
the opposite of divisions
no doubt who’s in control
of the "democratic" decisions
love or hatred
sounds like an easy choice
but it’s hard to be a god of love
with a strangled voice
free or imprisoned
to be or not to be
nothing’s more expensive
than to set yourself free
to hell with their profits
the game of greed
to hell with their politics
we know where it leads
to hell with their promises
the end will be the same
increase the pressure
we need balance of pain
who’s good, who’s evil
in a world where hunger kills
no one’s innocent as long as
there are stomaches to fill
inhumanity, insanity
the scars are deep
only a wind of change
will put reality to sleep
everything or nothing
equality lays inbetween
but the gap is getting wider
smashing our dreams
erase the power
the beast of pain
increase the pressure
the guilty must pay
5. Depression
an atmosphere of agony
a world at constant war
concentration of the power
to enslave the weak and poor
a planet fit for tyrants
obsessed by the language of force
greedy fucking bastards
showing no remorse
i´ve lost my faith in mankind
we´re awake but in different dreams
the time is way past midnight
and what the fuck have we achieved
an atmosphere of emptyness
where no one quite belong
a situation so fucked up
we can´t separate right from wrong
surrounded by darkness
an existance coloured in grey
we´re in this shit together
but the stench won´t blow away
i´ve lost my hope for a future
the seeds are to damaged to grow
the harvest of love and life
a picture, never to be shown
a vacuum of silence
people cold as ice
we´re on our knees
unable to rise
a tumour full of fear
is growing bit by bit
we´re in the fucking middle
trapped and forced to fit
i´ve lost my hope for a password
we all would be able to commit
i wish it was that simple
but then, words don´t mean a shit
6. In League with Baldrick
baldrick´s water, down my throat
smooth for she stomage, a beauty for the soul
no need to hurry, no need for kir
in league with baldrick, i will succeed
can´t hide myself for tomorrow
can´t escape the hangover power
before the pain, the ultimate pleasure
a joyride with baldrick, my bottled treasure
baldrick´s water, top of the class
he does his job, as i finish the glass
an open bottle, for an open mind
in league with baldrick, the ghost of wine
there is no right, there is no wrong
if you want to be straight, then go along
sober and clean or in love with the brew
is doesn´t matter to me, does is matter to you?
baldrick´s water, you sweeten my life
whatever you taste you hit like a knife
no need to worry, no need for kir
in league with baldrick, a pleasure indeed
7. E.E.C.
multinational powers
as if they care about humanity
pure-bread bosses with souls
everything but clean
exploiters of the third world
there’s no cure for their insanity
it seems like we’re falling apart
forced slowly into the dark
mendacious statements
to get us in line for "the only way"
face the fact, once we’re there, we’re there to obey
the european empire of control
created for what, created for who?
a castle for capitalism
with military protection
an evolution of democrazy
but in wrong fuckin’ direction
complacent ministers
alan b’stard-ish fucking scums
on their knees for the market
licking the investors bum
the upper-class circus of credibility
there’s no cure for their insanity
big fat wallets
looking for new fertile property
while the man on the street
got nothing but his poverty
rapists of equality
there’s no cure for their insanity
8. Beneath the Surface
