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 always 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
Solo: Axel, Andy
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?
Lying in my bed! With a swollen head!
What did I do? I always regret
the morning after!
2. 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
Solo: Axel, Andy
Rejoice I The time is now
Fulfill Your sacred vows
Pay need 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
Solo: Axel, Andy
Repeat 1st verse
Laws misplaced for centuries
Where can they be? The brewery!
Refrain 2 times
3. 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
(Chorus) Alien, Alien - he's a drunkard
Alien, Alien - he ate my food
Consumed my chow 'til nothing's left every week
Are you happy now? I cannot avoid it!
Nosey! He snoops around my private stuff
Porno! And sold my stack of magazines
(Chorus)
(Solo: Andy)
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
(Chorus)
4. Open All Night
Our favorite joints in town
Close down at two, what can we do?
Darkness...
Walking drunk through empty streets
We have nowhere to do
'Cos there's no place
where you can drink
I think this situation stinks
Hopeless...
This law can't be the right way
We want our beer night and day
(Chorus)
Open all night - closing time chock
Can't take it no longer
Fight for your right -
whiskey and beer
Straight into the morning
Open all night - please! All night!
The drinks are locked away
The crowds are moving towards the place
Where automatic Emma stands
Thirsty...
Dispensing beer and more
A dream machine, a gift of God
Empty...
Out of luck, this evening sucks
Those drinks we always need'em
Let's fight for beverage freedom
(Solo: Andy)
(Chorus)
Now that the city's dead
You can't get home without a car
Subway
Doesn't run past one o'clock
You stagger home on foot
The wrong direction mile for mile
And getting sober all the while
Panic...
Don't want no more frustration
Make this an all night nation
(Chorus)
Where can we hang out later?
At home? They'd tear the place apart
Chaos...
Just one way: don't close the bars
(Chorus)
5. Maniac Forces
Bombs of destruction threaten our world
They say: We need'em for defending
Millions of citizen must
hunger for their insanity
Wiping out our whole planet
Maniac forces
Russians and Americans 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
Maniac forces
6. 666 Packs
We have a deal with Satan
A contract signed in Hell
We sacrifice a virgin
He makes our record sell
SATAN! - To Antichrist we pray
EVIL! - To hit the charts one day
(Chorus)
666 Packs - Seven days of death and pain
Satan - Thirteen hours blood will rain
666 Packs - Nine black bats will eat your brain
Satan - Good with numbers? Join our cult
We have the baddest evil
Come buy our merchandise
A plastic scull, a T-Shirt
That says "I shit on Christ"
SATAN! - is thrashing to the beat
EVIL! - on seven days of week
(Chorus)
(Solo: Axel, Andy)
On stage we slaughter poultry
In songs we slaughter man
Black masses, guts and torture
We do the worst we can
SATAN! EVIL! - on blood and gore we feast
SATAN! - I am your Judas Priest
(Chorus 2 times)
7. 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
Solo: Axel
Went downtown - forgot the keys
We climbed into someone's window
But they shot teargas in our eyes
Didn't - 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
Raise some Hell!
Refrain
8. Space Beer
Read in the morning paper
They're shooting up another satellite
Experiment on the final frontier
To create the ultimate beer
Precious yeast spinning in orbit
Unrestrained gravity fades
Nobody knows what this brew will be
A magic potion? Chemistry?
Everybody loves the new beer
So good you want to
drink it day in night
It's better that and Pils, any Ex
Makes you feel like really good sex
If you're sick, don't fear the doctor
'Cos he has wonderful news:
a case of Beer will replace the pills
A drink of healing cures your ills
A new idea - great innovation
Future beer - it's a sensation
(Chorus)
Chuck it down, tap another barrel
Magic potion out of space
Chuck it down, it's a drinker's heaven
Live it up and drink this beer
Space beer! Space beer!
Space beer - this is what I like
Space beer -it tastes alright
If you stick to drinking Space beer
Hangovers -
headaches will be in the past
The Sci-Fi-booze makes
you healthy and wise
Your dick and brain will grow in size
If you're bald,
it'll make your hair grow
9. Zombie Attack
I'm just hanging around tonight,
just watching films
I am on the Zombie Trip and brutal things I like
Zombie attack
The film I saw is over now and I leave my home
Brutal Zombies are shouting so hard,
is it real or not?
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
Zombie attack
10. Alcohol (Gang Green cover)
11. 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
12. (Empty) Tankard
Drinking and fucking through the whole night long
Partying with friends 'til 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're well known for their bloody fight
Wodka and Cognac are our leaders
We've the best, we fuck the fuckin' rest
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
Empty Tankard
