Track Name: It doesn't matter
It doesn’t matter

You can get anything you want today,
Your shopping list, the sky’s the limit,
Super-sized the new cliché,
We ingest, grow fat or vomit

It doesn’t matter what you want to get
Credit cards to save the needy
Shopping binge, creating debt
We consume, grow numb and greedy

It doesn’t matter what you want to buy
You can pay it later on
It doesn’t matter, any time you want
24/7, dusk to dawn
It’s an insatiable hunger,
An urge, acquired greed
It doesn’t matter what you want, create need.

It doesn’t matter where you burn the cash
Magazines stir up the passion
Today’s hype, tomorrow’s trash
Keep in style, stay in fashion

The flashing neon signs,
Pointing our thoughts direction
If economy declines
Pray for its resurrection
Track Name: You & I
You & I

Is it an instinct, a common reaction,
A prehistoric way to survive.
I rest my case, please don't ruin my face
As long as you spare me this riot.

Every other choice than to raise our voice
Seems appropriate we use it instead
An act out of self-preservation
That later turns into regret

You & I
Keeping the silence
You & I
Feeding the violence
You & I
Keeping the silence
Cause only the actual facts seem to speak themselves

Without a reason, a good explanation
It looks like the shit hit the van.
Reach for your crotch, while the bystanders watch
And now you're waiting for the Good Samaritan.

Every other choice than to raise their voice
Seems appropriate they misapprehend
It's their act of self-preservation
As you feel silence means consent

It should be
You & I
Breaking the silence
You & I
Facing the violence
You & I
Breaking the silence
Cause only the actual facts seem to speak themselves
Track Name: Break down the wall
Break down the wall

They feed us fear
through TV dinners all year
and we swallow whatever they serve

They spice up the lies
making sure it's suffice
And intentionally striking a nerve

It's just like that
We don't seem to care
They do it every day
turn off the news
I am getting confused
The truth is drifting away

They read us stories
about victory and glory
from good over evil each night

Isn't it great
when you know who to hate,
So much easier to be on our sight

It's just like that
We don't seem to care
They do it everyday
Whether it's treason
Religion or reason
The truth is drifting away

Break down the wall
That narrows my mind
Look for an opening, that's so hard to find
Break down the wall inside my head
Never to build it again

We close our eyes, cover our ears
We see what we see, hear what we hear
Confirmation of opinion
Blame it on the ones we fear
Track Name: Saturday
Saturday

Wake up cause duty calls again
to work on a chain gang of modern men
finding my way somehow to make it through the dayshift
this week

Head numb walk the assembly line
whistle blows it’s clocking time
open the gates just four more days and I’ll be celebrating....

Saturday my liberation day
Thank god for Saturday
I loose my leash and I cross my limits
Give me some oblivion
cause it’s Saturday
I loose my leash and I cross my limits

Wake up to the call of recovery
last night a distant memory
The party’s over and I am picking up the pieces
again

Feels like personal rise and fall
Head hurts fell from my pedestal
Next week I will be crawling back up there to celebrate my

Saturday my liberation day
Thank god for Saturday
I loose my leash and I cross my limits
Give me some oblivion
Cause it’s Saturday I loose my leash and I cross my limits

My life’s as empty as the glass I hold
a predictable strong weekly routine
another shattered dream
of which I am running once a week to be
king for one day

I am on a roll
I am on a mission
Out of control it’s my tradition
Track Name: killing anger
Killing anger

Alienated
Alone all the time
With your parents always working
The TV was your babysitter

Building bombs,
Just passing your time
Loving guns and playing violent games on your computer

Bullied around, one thing on your mind
They read it in your essays (your essays had it coming)
Full of violence, always hate related

What the hell
The shrink said you were fine
Some blame it on you listening to Marilyn Manson

Unhappy, a loser, depressive, abuser
A feeling for violence
This massacre is making no sense
neurotic, obsessive, pathetic, aggressive
expression is so cool
Killing all the anger, bring your gun to high school

Walking to school one thing on your mind
today is gonna be the day that everybody will remember

You were hurt
And now it's their time
Taking your gun and turn this school into
a shooting ally
Never were so
Trigger happy
Track Name: Every generation
Every generation

Hanging around being bored to the core
looking for liquor but too young to score
Nowhere to party, get into a fight!
fuck the world it is friday night

Hate our songs, hate our fashion
put us down we don’t need compassion
We give you the finger and laugh in your face
Don’t you know it’s just a passing phase...
Every generation has a youth of today

Disagree, never listen
We’re taking all that you’ve been missing
how we end up, we haven’t a clue
but probably the same as you
Cause every generation has a youth of today

Through my eyes you’ll never see
We agree to disagree
I took the torch and now
I pass it on to you
Cause every generation needs its youth of today
Track Name: Big old boring man
Big old boring man

Easy to condemn
the big old boring man
turned down garbage can
the big old boring man

this couch’s his home
he never leaves
sitting around, the curtains closed
the world outside’s shown on TV
the world inside suppressed bij medicine

therapy caries little weight
it took to long, his mind is closed
his body is a rubbish dump
frustration’s fed, filling up on discontent

the big old boring man
turned down garbage can

please believe me, this is true
you point the finger
someone else is judging you
just beware that all you do
don’t close the curtains, grow big and bold and boring too
please believe me, this is true

Easy to condemn
the big old boring man
Track Name: Brains on bleach
Brains on bleach (Hydrogen Peroxide causes Xenophobia)

You say our land’s invaded
Talking rubbish, spreading hatred
and putting all the progress in reverse

Freedom of speech
you say, gives you the right to
put morality aside
your arrogance is making matters worse

Is paranoia getting hard to bare?
or could it be the chemicals
with which you die your hair?

Damned your brain’s on bleach
your brain’s on bleach
it causes tunnel vision
your brain’s on bleach
your brain’s on bleach
starting an inquisition

You’re breaking news again
Inflaming hatred everywhere you can

Ad fuel to the flames when
fire burns you run away and
we hardly ever hear a solution

freedom of speech you say
gives you the right to
put morality aside
and broadcast cinematic frustration

Is paranoia getting hard to bare?
or could it be the chemicals
with which you die your hair?

Damned your brain’s on bleach
your brain’s on bleach
it causes tunnel vision
your brain’s on bleach
your brain’s on bleach
starting an inquisition

You’re breaking news again
Inflaming hatred everywhere you can

bleach causes a narrow-mind
Xenophobic going blind
Saw your movie, stupid flick
Propaganda politics
You and I never agree
Your hair contains more chemicals
Then there will ever be between you, me and your ideology

Add fuel to the flame
Provocation is your game
You start a fire
Cross my wire
Track Name: Rat race
Rat Race

Up and down and round the bend
we go again,
countdown has begun,
Turn the ignition on

Moving into gear,
And here we go again
We can't afford to rest,
Got to keep up with the best

Living in the fast lane's much too slow, so sorry
Add a little extra now you flow, just hurry
Step on it, rise above the crowd
Overtaking is allowed

Hurry up, make haste,
Here we go again,
We're stepping on the gas,
heading for success

This rat race never stops,
So here we go again,
The rear-view mirror shows,
The competition grows

Living in the fast lane's much too slow, so sorry
Add a little extra now you flow, just hurry
Step on it, rise above the crowd
Overtaking is allowed

Don't slow me down,
don't slow me down,
don't slow me down,
let's hurry

On the outside we look cool,
but we're running out of fuel
Trying hard to keep up pace,
Trying not to lose our face,

We are getting round the rules,
We are agitated fools,
Victory's our only drive,
Let's hear it for this hectic life!
Track Name: Animals
Animals

I know they fed us with a reason
Slaughterhouse it smells like treason
I don’t want to go there

Where can we fight this resolution?
We want a trial before an execution
I don’t want to go there

Animals have no human rights
Animals have no human rights at all

The trucks outside match my assumption
We are the victems of the mass consumption

Some say you die you go to heaven
I think we end up in a 7-eleven

Animals have no human rights
Animals have no human rights at all
Track Name: Rise again
Rise again

See the sickness fill the skies
The heat is on, Kyoto cries
Optimism’s slowly wearing thin

Highways jammed with SUV’s
causing clotted arteries
cardiac arrest is kicking in....

And emissions rise again
we’re turning up the heat
they rise again
Rise again
Emissions there on the rise again

Make a-mends
For the mass
Let’s make amends
For the mass
Let’s make a-mends
Are we still in time to make amends?

fuck the forest, can’t you see
that money doesn’t grow on trees
Selfishness polluted our minds

Giving in to simple greed
Taking things that we don’t need
eventually we’re robbing this world blind

And emissions rise again
we’re turning up the heat they rise again
Rise again
Emissions there on the rise again

Make a-mends
For the mass
Let’s make amends
For the mass
Let’s make a-mends
Are we still in time to make amends?
Track Name: Whose side are you on
Whose side are you on?

It's so easy to provoke
Calling every one a joke
don't think I am a sitting duck
The sermon you deliver sucks

All you do is criticize
try to convince us with your lies
I don't convert in any case
I spit it right back in your face!

You look down on us from up your pulpit
I try so hard to understand
But all the words you're throwing at me
Just fade like footprints in the sand

Bore us with your prophecies
(But) you won't get me on my knees
I'll conduct my own defence
I'll just ignore your ignorance

It won't matter what we do
Your arrogance will pull you trough
And all your fundamental rage
Will still be sounding from some stage

You look down on us from up your pulpit
I try so hard to understand
But all the words you're throwing at me
Just fade like footprints in the sand

Whose side are you on?
Track Name: Voices
Voices

Life sucks, it shows
It's difficult dealing with feelings you hardly know

Time cures, they say
If it isn't the case will you try to move on anyway?

Into your world
where you hear the voices screaming
where living is like dreaming
Into your world
Where the inside's always aching
Where reality is faking

You changed, you did
You used to be different by being a regular kid

You're fucked, they say
They don't understand the battle your facing each day

Into your world
where you hear the voices screaming
where living is like dreaming
Into your world
Where the inside's always aching
Where reality is faking

I know they're mistaken
I know your world is breaking
Your world is breaking down
Track Name: Lucky loser
Lucky loser

Watching them burn
some of the bridges of my past
way too hard to make them last
I separate my rights from wrongs
and put them down into a song
trying to unfold
this story is getting old
but I believe I never told
I am cleaning up the mess
I am taking out the trash
Try to erase

my gloomy point of view
but here we go again
fucking far from Zen
running round in circles
heading for a trench
can’t stand the thought of losing
that’s why I’m digging in
Hope I am a lucky loser
there’s a chance I just might win

Letting it go
try to clear my worried head
and just enjoy the ride instead
destination is unknown
hope to reap what I have sown
try to erase

my gloomy point of view
but here we go again
fucking far from Zen
running round in circles
heading for a trench
can’t stand the thought of losing
that’s why I’m digging in
Hope I am a lucky loser
there’s a chance I just might win

The road ahead can look so scary
different than the ordinary
Is this what I want
Please tell me what I want today

Bang here we go again
fucking far from Zen
running round in circles
heading for a trench
can’t stand the thought of losing
that’s why I’m digging in
Hope I am a lucky loser
there’s a chance I just might win
