1. The Morning After
Can this be or am I dreaming?
What a mess!
Woke up drunk lying on the floor
This cannot be, my place is trashed
Broken bottles everywhere
Vomit oozing down the stairs
I asked myself how did this happen
Don´t recall
Why the nasty, pounding headache?
I need relief, where´s the tylenol
Refrain:
Lying in my bed! With a swollen head!
What did I do? I regret the morning after!
Morning´s passed, now I think I remember
Holy shit!
Ugly bitch playing with my member
Mutated sow with an extra tit
Senseless ruckus late at night
That´s when we began to fight
Four a.m. and we were hungry
Cooked some food
Ate until the fridge was empty
Then they left, all their bellies full
Refrain:
Lying in my bed! With a swollen head!
What did I do? I regret the morning after!
Now my brain feels like mashed potatoes
Getting sick
I swear to kick this nasty habit
And never drink for ever more
Headache ceases, all is fine
Getting thirsty, where´s the wine?
I cannot stop though I´m seeing double
Sloshed again
I know it´s sad but I really need it
Cause alcohol is my only friend
Refrain:
Lying in my bed! With a swollen head!
What did I do? I regret the morning after!
Refrain:
Lying in my bed! With a swollen head!
What did I do?
Lying in my bed! With a swollen head!
What did I do? I regret the morning after!
2. Alien
It come to earth three years ago from deep in space
A brilliant U.F.O.! I could not believe it
Refuge! I let it stay with me a while
Stupid! Now I with that he would go
Refrain:
Alien, Alien - he´s a drunkard
Alien, Alien - he ate my food
Consumed my chow ´till nothing´s left every week
Are you happy now? I cannot afford it!
Nosey! He snoops around my private stuff
Porno! And sold my stack of magazines
Refrain:
Alien, Alien - he´s a drunkard
Alien, Alien - he ate my food
He broke into my well stocked fridge and drank my beer
I can´t get really drunk tonight, the stores are closed
Leave now! You drive me nuts, don´t want you here
Oh no! He locked the keys in his spacecraft
Refrain:
Alien, Alien - he´s a drunkard
Alien, Alien - he ate my food
3. Don't Panic
Do you care for the world we live in?
Are you aware?
Death! Kill! War's running rampant
Kill! Die! Your children are dead
But there's a cause - that's what they tell us
So they lie
Off to war - inflicting terror
Millions die
Refrain:
Yet they say: Nothing's wrong at Chernobyl
And they've found another cure for AIDS
Send their guns to Nicaragua
And shake their fingers at Afghanistan
Don't panic - it's just our world
Fatal disease killing society
Safe sex?
No! Hope! They're all drossy cures
Last! Chance! Time's running out
Russian meltdown - People dying
Is it fair?
Poison clouds - water our cities
Loss of fair
Refrain:
Yet they say: Nothing's wrong at Chernobyl
And they've found another cure for AIDS
Send their guns to Nicaragua
And shake their fingers at Afghanistan
Do you care for the world we live in?
Are you aware?
Death! Kill! War's running rampant
Kill! Die! Your children are dead
But there's a cause - that's what they tell us
So they lie
Off to war - inflicting terror
Millions die
Refrain:
Yet they say: Nothing's wrong at Chernobyl
And they've found another cure for AIDS
Send their guns to Nicaragua
And shake their fingers at Afghanistan
Refrain:
Yet they say: Nothing's wrong at Chernobyl
And they've found another cure for AIDS
Send their guns to Nicaragua
And shake their fingers at Afghanistan
Don't panic - it's just our world
4. Zombie Attack
I'm just hanging around tonight, just watching films
I am on the Zombie Trip and brutal things I like
Refrain:
Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack!
The film I saw is over now and I leave my home
Brutal Zombies are shouting so hard, is this real or not?
Refrain:
Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack!
I wake up, this was a dream, I drink my beer
But then I see a Zombie killin’, I know I must die
Refrain:
Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack! Zombie Attack!
5. Chemical Invasion
STOP THE CHEMICAL INVASION
German beer's among the finest
The beer is pure and chemical free
A standard set which we are proud of
A standard met by no other land
Purity laws and chemical free
No body pollution - no change!
Preservatives shall soon be common
And the beer will be bastardized
Chemical invasion
Fight for your right to drink pure beer
Chemical invasion
It's your right the time is here
Make a stand and try to fight it
They'll poison us with import beer
'Cause German beer - it is the purest
And there's no room for chemical here
Purity laws and chemical free
No body pollution - no change!
No loss for us - refuse to buy it
We'll rather keep our bodies clean
6. Commandments
Moral law! The drinker´s guide
Was handed down by god
Sacred law for man to follow
Revere them as your own
Life´s too short to waste your brew
It´s plain to see - obey the rules
Refrain:
Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Thou shalt not puke `cause there´s no excuse
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Mankind was long deprived
Of the rules encased in stone
Ten written, the rest were lost
When will they be found?
Laws misplaced for centuries
Where can they be? The brewery!
Refrain:
Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Thou shalt not puke `cause there´s no excuse
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Rejoice! The time is now
Fulfill Your sacred vows
Pay heed to the blessed stone
Respect the holy law
Life´s too short to waste your brew
It´s plain to see - obey the rules
Refrain:
Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Thou shalt not puke `cause there´s no excuse
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Moral law! The drinker´s guide
Was handed down by god
Sacred law for man to follow
Revere them as your own
Laws misplaced for centuries
Where can they be? The brewery!
Refrain:
Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Thou shalt not puke `cause there´s no excuse
Just drink your beer – Commandments
Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill
Just drink your beer - Commandments
Thou shalt not puke `cause there´s no excuse
Just drink your beer - Commandments
7. Tantrum
I came to party with a thirst for beer
I wanna drink, so give one to me
My body aches and I need one now
I´m gonna get drunk and beer is the key
I set my brew down for one second
Went to the toilet - I had to pee
When I came back it wasn´t very long
For me to notice: My beer was gone
Refrain:
Tantrum – Who stole my beer?
Tantrum - you must die!!!
I searched the house from
top to bottom
Checked all the closets and under the couch
Came up empty nowhere to be found
Guess you stole it and I will kill
Is this a joke or some kind of nightmare
I want my beer and I want it now
I gotta gun and know how to use it
And I will the choice is yours
Refrain:
Tantrum – Who stole my beer?
Tantrum - you must die!!!
Who stole it?
I came to party with a thirst for beer
I wanna drink, so give one to me
My body aches and I need one now
I´m gonna get drunk and beer is the key
I set my brew down for one second
Went to the toilet - I had to pee
When I came back it wasn´t very long
For me to notice: My beer was gone
Refrain:
Tantrum – Who stole my beer?
Tantrum – I think it was you bastard!!!
8. Maniac Forces
Bombs of destruction threaten our world
They say: We need ’em for defending
Millions of children must hunger therefore
They are wiping out our whole planet
Refrain:
Maniac Forces! Maniac Forces!
Russia and America accuse each other
Of having more bombs than the other one
We live in an uncertain world
Be afraid of the beginning of World War 3
Refrain:
Maniac Forces! Maniac Forces!
Bombs of destruction threaten our world
They say: We need ’em for defending
Millions of children must hunger therefore
They are wiping out our whole planet
Refrain:
Maniac Forces! Maniac Forces! Maniac Forces! Maniac Forces!
9. Shit-Faced
Nice hotel - place to stay
We sought a place to get some rest
The owner said: "Please keep it down "
"We´re good boys " - so we lied
Raise some Hell!
Two days passed - fuckin´ mess
The maids refused to clean our stys
Ravioli `neath the rug
Stench of beer - everywhere
Refrain:
We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun
Fuckin´ shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms
One week down - place was fucked
We tore the heater off the wall
And broke the windows in our room
No one cared - we were drunk
Raise some Hell!
Bed diving - brand new sport
From our beds we´d start to leap
And dive into the cabinets
They broke too - nothing spared
Refrain:
We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun
Fuckin´ shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms
Went downtown - forgot the keys
We climbed into someone´s window
But they shot teargas in our eyes
Didn´t work - locked outside
Raise some Hell!
Place destroyed - where to now?
We moved into another room
Five minutes passed and it was thrashed
Last warning - they kicked us out
Refrain:
We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun
Fuckin´ shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms
Raise some Hell!
Refrain:
We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun
Fuckin´ shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms
10. (Empty) Tankard
Drinking and fucking through the whole night long
Partying with friends ’till fucking dawn
Let’s go thrashin’ and stagedivin’
Feel the power and sound again
We want to drink some fucking beer
we want to drink some whiskey
Frankfurt’s thrashers will rule tonight
They are well known for their bloody fight
Wodka and Cognac are our leaders
We are the best, we fuck the fuckin’ rest
Refrain:
Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard!
We have come to slamdance tonight
Bangin’ and bleedin’ till the fuckin’ end
Playing fast and running free
Stand up maniacs, you have to fight
We want to drink some fucking beer
We want to drink some whiskey
Liver is broken down so bloody hard
I keep on drinking until I drop
Bang your head against the fuckin’ wall
Show the damned whimps who we are
Refrain:
Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard!
Drinking and fucking through the whole night long
Partying with friends ’till fucking dawn
Let’s go thrashin’ and stagedivin’
Feel the power and sound again
We want to drink some fucking beer
We want to drink some whiskey
Frankfurt’s thrashers will rule tonight
They are well known for their bloody fight
Wodka and Harris are our leaders
We are the best, we fuck the fuckin’ rest
Refrain:
Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard!
Refrain:
Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard! Empty Tankard!
We need another beer…
