1. Space Cowboy
Junk will break you
Shit it shakes you
On a trip to hell
Got to face it
You can’t fake it
Like you did so well
Enough is enough, bye bye
Space cowboy, cosmic high
Shoot ‘em up, feel the rush
Think you’re cool, get serious
Cool is voodoo
Think you’re smooth too
Rollercoaster ride
Concept jaded
Blown and faded
Ain’t no sixties child
Enough is enough, bye bye
Space cowboy, cosmic high
Shoot ‘em up, feel the rush
Think you’re cool, get serious
Acid take you
Complicates you
In a world of dreams
Marijuana
Fools nirvana
Got to blow this scene
Enough is enough, bye bye
Space cowboy, cosmic high
Shoot ‘em up, feel the rush
Think you’re cool, get serious
2. Temple Of Deceit
Don’t believe a word they preach
The agenda is deceit
With the grace of a righteous man
The persona hides the sham
Take a cultural warp by fear
And the lies don’t seem so clear
They sit at god’s right hand
This ain’t no promised land
The truth is no high priest
In the temple of deceit
Lies, hate, fear, faith
Just who are these pious few
To lay their guilt on you
With their lies of type and race
Tolerance fades to hate
From the right their factions draw
Bigotry, not holy war
The hypocrisy has no end
In their new Jerusalem
The truth is no high priest
In the temple of deceit
Lies, hate, fear, faith
Until thy kingdom come
The just whos will be done
Prophets of control
Justice without soul
Holy words should not repress
Liberty is no weakness
And where dogma has no sway
There’s no fear come judgement day
The truth is no high priest
In the temple of deceit
Lies, hate, fear, faith
3. Babylon
Some guys greed create the danger
In the air we breathe choking mother nature
Acid rain, seas of emotion
Sails preen peace, drop in the ocean
One world in strife
What hope out tribe
If we speak in tongues
Welcome to Babylon
Babylon
Babylon
Rage, war, hate, cultural confusion
Fools, mass debate, final solutions
Urban decay, over populated
Fields of dead, religious hatred
One world in strife
What hope out tribe
If we speak in tongues
Welcome to Babylon
Babylon
Babylon
C.F.C.s bring global warming
Break the seals, revelation warning
Toxic waste, industial pollution
Ethnic cleansed, revolution
One world in strife
What hope out tribe
If we speak in tongues
Welcome to Babylon
Babylon
Babylon
Babylon
Babylon
4. Rainmaker
Like Cain and Abel
We are brothers
Now we alienate
By creed and colour
Rainmaker
Wash away the sun
Make it rain, we never learn
Naked we are one
Colour us gone
Paranoia fed
By new religion
Cycles of hate
Culture collision
Rainmaker
Wash away the sun
Make it rain, we never learn
Naked we are one
Colour us gone
Ignorance is mine
The guilty claim
Head down in the sand
Deflect the blame
Symptom of the past
The strong enslave
Lessons could be learned
We never change
Rainmaker
Wash away the sun
Make it rain, we never learn
Naked we are one
Rainmaker
Rainmaker
Rainmaker
Naked we are one
5. Snake Dance
Smile that Judas smile
Confident with a hint of style
Doctor spins you twists and lies
Manipulated, paralysed
Read the signs
Enter the realm of the fake
Hypnotized
Witness the dance of the snake
Money talks, the power game
Greace the wheels some gravy train
Kick backs and the slight of hand
Would conscience break a lesser man
Read the signs
Enter the realm of the fake
Hypnotized
Witness the dance of the snake
Beware the tabloid eye
Indiscrete, compromised
Scandal sheet a public face
Profumo, Watergate
Read the signs
Enter the realm of the fake
Hypnotized
Witness the dance of the snake
6. Cyberhead
Game on, techno overkill
New wave laser cyber thrill
Role play disc or CD-rom
Recreate in cyberspace a new millennium
Main frame one million megabyte
Network linkes via satellite
Three-D cyber hologram
Satisfaction guaranteed by artificial hand
Strange days are falling
No way, no stalling
Surf the net
What do you get
Brain dead cyberhead
E-mail sceen communique
P.C. micro data base
Wise up, be chameleon
Silicon technology, the new leviathan
Light scan fibre optic eyes
New world globally digitised
V.R. utopia at hand
Simulate reality by digital command
Strange days are falling
No way, no stalling
Surf the net
What do you get
Brain dead cyberhead
Brain dead cyberhead
7. TV Nation
Destination, tv nation
Vegetating state
Multi-channel mind pollution
Cable surfing slaves
Rating war game
Where is your shame
Rent that video
Sell your soul for remote control
Surround sound stereo
Feed me
Technicolour dream
T.V.
National disease
Conversation, termination
Network microwaves
Friendly glowing cathode ray tube
Counting out our days
Get a wide screen
Play the best scene
Real life make believe
Instant replay any which way
Feed me
Technicolour dream
T.V.
National disease
Feed me
Technicolour dream
T.V.
National disease
Free me
Conversation gone
T.V.
Killer in the home
8. Rat Race
In too deep
Fail to keep in black
Hope to sleep cause
I ain’t all right jack
To run the risk
Faced with this
I sympathise
Fail to find
Your peace of mind
No paradise
Hard way to learn
This time you’re gonna burn
Gotta get some money
Gimme lots of money
Keep you faith in
Your chance to win back
Game on time to
Take on those who lack
Can beat the rest
What they do best
It’s do or die
Trust in fate
Retaliate
No suicide
Solution
Take the green and run
Gotta get some money
Gimme lots of money
Got enough green stuff
To make the world go round
Rat race, get a taste
Might just take you down, stick around
9. Sister Sleaze
All the guys
They dig your live chat lines
Make that call
For sexy touchtone times
Never wanted to
Get a crush on you
She said; come on and play with me
What’s your fantasy
Telephone tease
Sister Sleaze
Pay to play
With feeling lonely boy
No one knows
Relax, it’s safe, enjoy
Never wanted to
Get a crush on you
She said; come on and play with me
What’s your fantasy
Telephone tease
Sister Sleaze
Never wanted to
Get a crush on you
She said come on and play with me
What’s your fantasy
Telephone tease
Sister Sleaze
10. No Ordinary Day
If I sleep I sleep the bed of nails
I dream to dream, reason fails me
If I could save the day, your pain is my pain
Chains and ties of a dying flame
This is
No ordinary day
Try not to give myself away
No ordinary day
If I could fade away
Down the road, confusion as a friend
My faith in me questioned at the end
Sometimes we can’t be all that we believe
Complicated, this wicked web we weave
But now I sleep so deep, I pray the better man
I dream the dream, hope I never can live again
No ordinary day
Try not to give myself away
No ordinary day
If I could fade away
No ordinary day
Try not to give myself away
No ordinary day
If I could fade away
I would
If I should die in my sleep
Will my soul go to the deep
While I live this I can tell
Guilt can be a living hell, burning, burning
