Lyrics


1. END UP LIKE YOU

We feed ourselves on things we see
Hungry eyes open it all comes to me
Between the lines we've learned to read
The song's just the same as you can see

And if I close my eyes I can't shake the view
I don't want to close my heart and end up like you

Dehumanized you've got no time to care
If we don't buy your time you will never share
Illegalize what you can't control
Your rules and decrees don't nourish the soul

And if I close my eyes I can't shake the view
I don't want to close my heart and end up like you

End up like you End up like you
End up like you End up like you


2. SOS

I've learned the words I've heard the song
I'm sorry we just don't get along
In other words I don't agree
It's someone's fault and I know it's not me

I know the rules of society
I know the game but I don't wanna play
I do my best and stick to what I think is right
I may not have a chance but I don't give up the fight

It's the same old talk and the same old story
Why can't everybody be like me
Can't things be the way they should be
How can I find a way to make 'em see

This is my world this is my land
And you will never know the hours that I spent
To find the trick to make it bend
It's me who's right and you don't understand

It's the same old talk and the same old story
Why can't everybody be like me
Can't things be the way they should be
How can I find a way to make 'em see

It's the same old talk sos
It's the same old talk sos
It's the same old talk sos
It's the same old talk sos


3. A BITTER TASTE

He left everything and came when you needed some
Hands to build a new world
Sucked to the bones daddy was left alone
When the job was completed
It will come to you like a fist in the face
Sweat scorn blood and tears
It's all flooding back all in one wave
All in one...

We're the second generation now comes the third
With nothing to gain and nothing to lose they're gonna make it burn
Say you're sorry feel ashamed now it's your turn
To lose at your game they just gonna make it
Gonna make it burn....

What is past is dead an gone (you said)
But it leaves a bitter taste when nobody cares
The pie's just too small
And you don't wanna share

Get ready for the fall don't just fake your fear
Expect something greater
Than simply despair
It'll all be bigger

We're the second generation now comes the third
With nothing to gain and nothing to lose they're gonna make it burn
Say you're sorry feel ashamed now it's your turn
To lose at your game they just gonna make it
Gonna make it burn....

Burn the bridges Burn the flags
They're burning buses to be in the mags
Burning anything Burning cars
They're burnt for nothing if it's not on prime time


4. WHO WANTS TO KNOW

Where you come from
Your flag colors
That you're not brown
Where you were born
Patriotic pride we don't care
Hatred inside we don't give a shit
Nationalism bag of shite (scottish)
We all got the same blood inside


5. LITTLE BIRD

Spoiled child of the modern age filled with useless rage
Keeps looking for something that's nowhere to be found
I'm being fed like a little bird who can't seem to fly
I could sit and wonder why but it's easier not to think

I always had more than I needed but still I don't see the green grass green
The land of honey remains out of reach

I'm being fed like a little bird who can't seem to fly
I could sit and wonder why but it's easier not to think

I'm against the grain and I don't make it I'm a peace of the puzzle that just doesn't fit
I'll change the world when I finish my meal I don't wanna face it if it's real

I know I don't know what I like I don't even know what I want
Like a little bird who can't seem to fly like a little bird


6. FINE

Will you believe me when I say I woke up before the sun today (almost...)
Hadn't happened in a while it never happens with a smile
It's funny how things come easy sometimes I cleared out the crap I had inside
From now on I decide I'm taking control taking control

From now on I will decide I'll be looking on the bright side
And today I won't complain and tomorrow I'll feel fine

I won't put my life in other's hands that is more that I can stand
I'd rather play heads than tail and I am never gonna fail

It's funny how things come easy sometimes I cleared out the crap I had inside
From now on I decide I'm taking control taking control

From now on I will decide I'll be looking on the bright side
And today I won't complain and tomorrow I'll feel fine

No matter what they say no matter what they do
No matter what they say today I'm taking control

And if it's for twenty seconds i'm taking control even if it doesn't last longer I'm taking control
From now on I will decide I'm taking control and today I won't complain I'm taking control

From now on I will decide I'll be looking on the bright side and today I won't complain
And tomorrow...


7. Y2K RIOT

The world 's getting so insane
Need something to kill the pain
Turn that shit off the radio
Tell me you're on double zero
Lara Croft's high on dope
My computer starts to ooze
Better go buy me a riot
I've got somes euros left to use

Buy a riot Buy a riot
Buy a riot Buy me a riot

Marc sold his head to a pawnshop
Thinking he could get a better one
Cuz everything's for salein a pawnshop
Why don't you buy me a riot

Buy a riot Buy a riot
Buy a riot Buy me a riot


8. THINKING OF THE TIME

Thinking of the time, we would go to shows
They called it HC, called it punk, it doesn't matter
It was not violent and it was for the cause
Taking a trip was less than this song
After song the heat was rising up
And everybody was getting wet
Diving in the pit moshing in the pit diving
In the ...

We grew up and it was getting harder
Moving and jumping all the time
Twenty years of beer and punk could have
Cut more than one purple spike
Fortunately there were vitamins, dear adrenalin

Just another bass loop
Another guitar trick
A stop and go
Pedal to the metal

Thinking of the time...

Yesterday a kid came to me he said hey grandpa
What's that shit you listen to ?
Some punk from 99
It wasn't violent and it was for the cause
Taking a trip was less than this song
After song the heat was rising up
And everybody was getting wet
Diving in the pit moshing in the pit with

Just another bass loop
Another guitar trick
A stop and go
Pedal to the metal

Thinking of the time...

I heard him say
Man it's too fucking slow
And how could people listen to
That stuff oh no
I heard him say
Man it's too fucking slow
And how could people listen to

Just another bass loop
Another guitar trick
A stop and go
Pedal to the metal


9. AMONG THE STARS

Misunderstood I'm all alone when all my friends are too far gone
To solve my problems it's taking time give me something to ease my mind

You know what I expect cuz you're the guru of my sect
Take my money take the rest take me and answer my request

Lost in a dead a dead end street I'm still trying to feel my heart beat
I'll give my life and all I've got if you can give me what I want

You know what I expect cuz you're the guru of my sect
Take my money take the rest take me and answer my request

I'm uneasy and a little depressed
Wish I could be someone else I'm so sorry and I don't get the best

I'll follow in your footsteps I'll walk on fire if that's what it takes
To reach the sun and let it rise heaven in hell among the stars

Misunderstood I'm all alone when all my friends are too far gone
To care my problems it's taking time give me something to ease my mind

You know what I expect cuz you're the guru of my sect
Take my money take the rest take me and answer my request


10. FREEZIN'

I'm freezing in a warm room the sun is shining outside
Dark thoughts / Bad mood

I can run to another place and try to think of something else
It's just like a ghost haunting my mind pain is still inside
Life goes on outside pain is still inside
And time's passing by

Weird love / Strange reaction Weird pain / Hard decision

Alone in a crowded room I can't speak or talk
There is something I can't explain

You told me I should walk away and turn back when I've found the way
To get it out from my brain pain is still inside
Life goes on outside time is passing by

Weird love / Strange reaction Weird pain / Hard decision

How long is it gonna take to forget you
How long is it gonna take to kill you...
My love / My heroin

Weird love / Strange reaction Weird pain / Hard decision


11. IRON DICK

Power 's in your hand
You stand and decide
It's always been a man
Who starts to write the next line

Money's in the hands
Of a chosen few
There's got to be a man
To think for me and you

But this time you see we know
You don't hold the key we know
This time you see we know
We won't let you go ...

Divided people
Central power
Who's gonna be the next clown
Who's gonna break us down

And if it's not a man
Sometimes it's all the same
Iron Dick vs Iron Lady
Do you really care 'bout me

But this time you see we know
You don't hold the key we know
This time you see we know
We won't let you go ...


12. THIS TIME

I thought you had it all
It's agame that I just can call
Can you tell me what's behind that face
There's something here that I just can't trace

I thought you had it all
You and I'd be the perfect twins
Nice birds above the ground
But nothing is what it seems

I just don't get it
Something just ain't net
Nice birds Bright colours
Are the ones I can't trust

But this time you never told me what was behind that smile
This time there's something that I never get

I thought you had it all
You and I'd be the perfect twins
Nice birds above the ground
But nothing is what it seems

I just don't get it
Something just ain't net
Nice birds Bright colours
Are the ones I can't trust

But this time there is something that I never get
This time and I don't think it's worth another chance
This time worth another chance


13. NO WAY

No class, no job, i'm just a victim and society's a slob
No ass, no head, rather go home jack off instead
No mind, no kind, my brain is jelly and my memory is blind
No way, no way, cannot live in this world these day

No class, no job, i'm just a victim and society's a slob
No ass, no head, rather go home jack off instead
No mind, no kind, my brain is jelly and my memory is blind
No way, no way, cannot live in this world these day


14. BABYLON BY SKATE

Stop crying little sister we're leaving Babylon
No more crying little sister it won't change anything

See the people in the streets fighting for something
They'll never get you never really wanted to be a part of it
But you thought things could work out
If you get in to the big town you've joined the program
Now you're lost in a crowd

And everybody's moving
Everybody's dancing the way they want you to dance
And everybody's listening but no one can get the story you wanna tell
Stop crying little sister we're leaving Babylon
No more crying little sister it won't change anything

Some of them are crying
Some of them are tripping
Some of them are trying to forget to escape from reality
You feel disappointed expecting to be in a world full of humanity
You've lost your illusions I hope it comes again with a brand new solution
We're moving Babylon
Making room enough Making room enough Making room

Stop crying little sister we're leaving Babylon
No more crying little sister it won't change anything
Making room enough Making room enough to you
Making room enough Making room enough to you
