1. ANTHEM FOR THE YEAR 2000

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
in the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you


2. ANA'S SONG (OPEN FIRE)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you


3. DO YOU FEEL THE SAME

Moon covered determined to find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach, try to decrease
To make it easier on me
Despise myself for what you've done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself 'cause no one will
I'll make it easier
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come

Stay alert cause I'm obsessed
Surely I can't be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine

Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine

Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway

Hold yourself 'cause no-one will
I'll be there to take the spill
Cleanse your soul, change the tide
And ride the wave back here to me

Be the one
Without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come


4. TOMORROW

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town
The only way to get there's to go straight down
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink
Very hard to drink

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow

You say that money, isn't everything
But I'd like to see you live without it
You think you can keep on going living like a king
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it

Very hard to drink

You gonna wait til, fat boy
Fat boy, wait until tomorrow


5. ISRAEL'S SON

Hate is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
You're late for the execution
If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead

[Chorus]
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to

I hate you and your apathy
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here
I'm playing this pantomime
But I don't see you showing any signs of fear

[Chorus]

This time I'm for real
My pain can not heal
You will be dead when I'm through

[Chorus]

Pain and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air... yeah

I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air


6. FREAK

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Freak


7. ABUSE ME

Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue

C'mon abuse me more I like it

Well I don't think you like me
Well I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell

C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

Throw the sailors overboard
