1. Institutional Man
Inside the walls I've made to keep out all who reach for me
I might have lost my way and I can't come out again
Don't come around here anymore, you may infect yourself
Don't ever cross this line, you could see monsters in your mind
There just like me!
Have I erased all sense of touch, I don't feel anything
Sometimes they say I need, sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need new parts for my brain
Most dreams, they're black and white, but I must color mine
Each day's another endless night of screaming
Of shouting at the outside, someone let me in
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Stop the water, bags of sand
Institutional man...
Sometimes they say I need, sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need new parts for my brain
Set me free now no-one can
Faces at the window
Lock the cages, tie my hands
Institutional, institutional man...
2. Don't Tell the Kids
Please, please, make love freeze and break apart in the middle
Then they could see the hate when they separate
...and taste the salt of their tears
No, no, it's all about experience
Control, you might as well be wood, no good
Why, why, your questions die in a shout and no attention
You might have said that they both were dead so put the puzzle away
But no, it's all about experience
Control, they're gonna give you none, no fun
Don't tell the kids, they'll never understand it
Don't tell the kids, don't waste your time, no
Get back, it's a heart attack and the planet needs a doctor
We can tell it looks like hell, but they make us close our eyes
No, it's all about experience
And control, you might as well be stone, alone
Don't tell the kids, they'll never understand it
Don't tell the kids, don't waste your time, yeah
Don't tell the kids, they'll never get the picture
Don't tell the kids, you waste your time, yeah
Don't tell the kids, they just don't understand it
Don't tell the kids, don't waste your time... time
Talk to the animals, anyone who'll answer
Any fool will do, just don't tell the kids
3. Black
Identify the real world, investigate the real world
Intensify inspection there for all to see
Here's what lies do: all things turn to
Black... black...! Yeah, no!
Now desensitize your heartbeat, regulate the heartbeat
Sterilize all emotion, justify your needs
Here's what love does: dies and fades to
Black... black!
There are no champions...
...who saves the lonely ones... in the corner!
Black, yeah! Black!
You must identify you and the real world
Interrogate the new real world
Then generate intention, information, please
Here's what I know: soon we'll all go, we must fade to
Black!
4. Hunter of the Heart
Hey liar, tell me your intentions are good knowing it could be a lie
I see how you rise to question the eyes of anyone who promises pain
Contagious, something like a virus of love making the pleasure seem real
Another killing by the villain
Another body on the ground
Here comes the master of destruction again
I knew you from the start, hunter of the heart
Cat crazy, never the predictable one asleep in the sun now the strike
Possession today, then send it away after all the joys in the taking
Another beating by the villain
Another angel fallen down
Here comes the master of destruction again
Perfect for the part, hunter of the heart
Another burning by the devil
And another diamond turned to glass, yeah
Here comes the master of destruction again
I knew you from the start...
Hunter of the heart, hunter of the heart
5. Stay out of My Mind
All you see down there could be yours for the taking
All your heart's desire would be yours but you don't want it
You don't want it, you keep telling me:
Stay out of my mind, stay out of my soul
I can't get you out of my life
So stay out of my mind, stay out of my mind, yeah
What do you want from life, what do you keep living for?
Is it worth the price? It'll cost you nothing
But you won't take it, you won't take it, you keep telling me:
Stay out of my mind, stay out of my soul
I can't get you out of my life
So stay out of my mind, stay out of my mind
Stay out of my mind, stay out of my soul
I can't get you out of my life
So stay out of my mind, stay out of my mind
6. Big Sister
Who controls your mind?
There have been changes: no more giving it all for free
There will be changes: now woman is all you need
Here is a number, you've been given an another name
We will be watching, one might fall but you'll all be blamed, shame, shame!
Here's big sister, we're big sister
Hear big sister, there's big sister
Dancing on your grave!
Who controls your mind? Who's in charge of hearts?
Who controls your time? We're in charge of you
There have been changes: even mother's a soldier now
There have been changes: you can touch 'cause you don't know how, no!
Here's big sister, we're big sister
Hear big sister, there's big sister
Dancing on your grave!
Pretty faces, young and clean watching you from magazines
All they want is something more, kill the king and then we'll crown the whore!
Here's big sister, we're big sister
Hear big sister, there's big sister
Who controls your mind? In charge of hearts
Controls your time in charge of you
Here's big sister, we're big sister
Control
7. Double Monday
When you're alone and the sun's gone down one more time
Must you prentend that some light still shines
- Sounds like double monday, yeah!
Each time you think that you've just begun, it's the end
Oh, someone you love wants to just be friends
- Sounds like double monday, yeah!
Feels like snakes and spiders crawling up your body
Every someday double monday
Like a fly against the wall, just when you think you've seen it all
You lose your special place to hide, so get ready for the ride, ride, ride!
Yeah!
Every someday double monday
8. Golden Rules
Hush now children, lullaby, steal what you can't borrow
Oh, how brave you are and your world has come so far!
Are you saved? Have you been told?
Right is the enemy - too bad, too late
Write this down: I don't believe in sanity
Or reading the instructions, throw 'em all away, hey
Golden rules, sunday school, crazy
Wheels go round, angry machines, designing your destiny
Digital dreams, with no heart, no soul!
Golden rules, sunday school, you're all crazy now
Here's the situation:
The rest are gettin' pretty, you're melting in the city
Father says to mother:
Yeah, if you really wanna trash it go ahead and smash it
Are you saved? Now when you go to sleep tonight one way or another
If you don't die before you wake do it unto others
Golden rules made more fools, sunday school, you're all crazy
Hush now children, don't you cry, we've just killed tomorrow
How sad you are, that your world has gone too far?
9. Dying in America
Once upon a high the streets were gold and blue was in the sky
Riders gone, never could belong, - maybe you still can dream
Sleep through screams while we're dying in America?
Once upon a child the carnival would stop and stay awhile
You were gone, everything went wrong - too soon, cartoon
Dying in America! Dying in America!
In places where aces outnumber the queens
Jack is afraid of tomorrow
Colors are changing to red, white and green
As we all fall down
Once upon a hate they told us they could fix it
If we'd wait for awhile killing you with smiles
Maybe you still can dream, sleep through screams
While we're dying in America! Dying in America!?
"Sex, sex, sex even bigger, even better
Don't lose out, be a winner
Save more, save time and save now
One hundred thirty per cent American people
Would like to be like everyone else..."
10. This Is Your Life
Who cares what came before? We were only starlight
...one day, then nevermore because we're whispers in the wind
Once upon a time the world was never blind like we are
Right now it seems you're only dreams and shadows
If wishes could be eagles, how you'd fly?
This is your life, this is your time
What if the flame won't last forever?
This is your here, this is your now
Let it be magical...
Who cares what came before? We're only starlight
Once upon the time all the world was blind like we are
This is your life, this is your time
Look at your world, this is your life...
