The Doom Song
01:35
|
|||
|
Here we go, we're going nowhere fast and kicking
no solo's, no double bass or finger picking
let's drink booze 'till someone pukes and we all get sick and
still some pricks will ask why, oh why
oh why, oh why, oh why?
Because we're doomed
yeah we're doomed
because we're doomed
in free will we trust
We're doomed!
Not to slow,
those glaciers won't stop melting dammit!
party fast, 'cause shit draws near
and soon we're in it
only punk can give you three great songs
in a single minute
still you're asking me why, oh why
oh why, oh why, oh why?
The reasons that they give us
for the shit we see today
are pretty much first grade baloney
it's hard enough to find, a single drive in life
so what if ours lacks subtlety,
common sense and dignity
it's the only thing left keeping us alive
because we're doomed, doomed
doomed, doomed!
doomed, doomed, doomed, doomed!
doom doom doom doom doom!

Carnival of Metaphors
01:22
|
|||
|
I spoke with god at the carnival of metaphors
to shed some light on the destruction we're headed for
he shuffled the cards and my heart sank
as the fictional cunt had drawn me a blank.
Ran to the news stand for a paper to see if they'd explain to me
War, plague, famine, death and fake morality
they feigned to indulge but the whole thing stank
their only intent was to draw me a blank
Draw me a blank, draw me a blank.
Draw me a blank it did not explain
what I see, what I hear, what I'm feeling
the best they could do was draw me a blank.
I fell in love with the conspiracy scene
felt closer to the truth than I was sure I'd ever been
but their words were wine and that's why I drank
when push came to shove they'd only draw you a blank.

Better than Jesus
03:00
|

|
Scrape out the metal and sift out the seas
level the forest and scour for weeds
gather it all in a delicious heap
and then fuck what you can fuck
and eat what you can eat
you're an animal, domitable
and through it all insatiable
transmogrify entropic land
into a form that you can understand
in all of civilization
is this all that we've ever done?
Let's build a tower to store all our crap
make it a square so it fits in our heads
this world ain't getting better
we all feel like shit
but at least it will be over
when we've eaten all of it
I'm not making a statement here
just expressing another fear
what's economic growth my friend
when all of it comes out the other end?
We did better than dollphins
We did better than whales
we did better than monkeys
and we did better than gales
and we did better than rodents
and we did better than bats
we did better than canines
and we did better than Ted
We did better than spiders
better than tapeworms
better than any and all insects, in fact
better than any that came before us
better than a fucking tyrannosaurus
better than marsupials
senior and juveniles
all of the bacteria
from the cafeteria
even better than the mighty amoeba
the mighty amoeba...

Marketing Guy
01:45
|
|||
|
So I hear you're in marketing
a commercial mind, the saddest thing
just spending all, just spending all your time
you think you're making money
all you do is take it from me
spending all, just spending all your time
wasting mine.
Marketing guy,
wast of time
walking lie,
walking lie
you've got a severly distorted mind.
wasted mind
I imply
your design
is only holding back all of mankind
The truth is your competitor
or a luxury you can't afford
just spending all, just spending all your time
You think you are the norm
but you're a parasite in its purest form
just spending all, just spending all your time
wasting mine.

Zombies
02:08
|
|||
|
It's so obscene now
I'm feeling shame
so fucking lame
these walking corpses
they're fully tame
and they're always the same
they're looking for a brain
I'd say
shoot 'em in the head now
shoot 'em in the brains
shoot 'em in the head now
shoot 'em in the brains
shoot 'em in the head now
shoot 'em in the brains
shoot 'em in the head now...
...Brains!
They're in the theatre
and at the shopping mall
there's no help to call
on sundays they dress up
converge to drink blood from the cup
and celebrate the fall
and empty out your skull
all they ever want is a brain
must be why they seem so insane
so won't someone just get them a brain?
won't someone just get them a brain?
won't someone just get them?
I'd tell these zombies
you're out of time
leave life behind
you've got your problems
and I got mine
but they're of the same kind
we're both after my mind

Zucht... Werkwoord
01:56
|

More persistent than the fact
that every living thing must act
and eat and breed and throb and draw its breath
Is what I will now defend
everything on earth must end
and nothing's quite as vital as our death
Some things have to die
for others to survive
it does not seem wise or benign
but some things have to die
To the microscopic race
the ocean was a hostile place
but death would mould its form until it fit
From the sea to the land and into the trees
back on land into homes and onto the seas
without death our life would not exist
Look outside there's billions of 'em
heading straight towards their coffin
desperately clinging on to life
but it's allready a fucking crowd
hot long do you think untill it all breaks down
if every single cunt is to survive?

No Way Up
03:49
|
|||
|
Juvenile delinquents roam the street at night
skyscraper wall clogging up my sight
and most of us will die all alone
staring at the telephone
life's a sham, society is a scam
we're a million miles away from bethlehem
Sit and pray, get drunk on wine
but at least in heaven all will be fine
But who the hell are you
of the safest richest tribe
to be unhappy with your life?
there's no way up, there's no way up
it's all in your head
this is the best we'll ever get
on a suffering planet
You're as miserable as hell
and you're the saddest sod I've seen
you wish to leave the earth
to find the planet of your dreams
but modern technology cannot do
what'd find that paradise for you
so you wait around ignoring
your world reached it's final days
a whole planet that's suffering
yet you dare to complain
Because if scientists succeed in time
at least you can leave all this shit behind
But who the hell are you
of the safest richest tribe
to be unhappy with your life?
there's no way up, there's no way up
it's all in your head
this is the best we'll ever get
on a suffering planet

Piracy
01:40
|
|||
|
If I could have a little bit of fun
without handing my money to someone like you
boohoohoo, that's exactly what I'll do
'Cuz I'm a stranger and I'm faceless
and on the world wide web quite tasteless
There's music and porn, more than any other store
and lot's of other junk that I would never pay for
But if I could have a little bit of fun
without handing my money to someone like you
boohoohoo, that's exactly what I'll do
There's no authority or nation
to the governments frustration
it's a borderless town where copyrights drown
we're ripping everything that's not nailed down
'Cuz if I could have a little bit of fun
without handing my money to someone like you
boohoohoo, that's exactly what I'll do
and there will be no money through
and if you still don't have a clue
I'm not a criminal or fool
I'm just the same as you

Hi-Tops
03:14
|
|||
|
A good shoe aspires to the top
of course it's built from the ground up
and that is why
all my shoes have soul
but still that cannot be enough
in environments so rough
and stinging winds
that eat the ankle whole
Hi-tops, they got nothing on you
I'm wearing hi-tops, it's the superior shoe
I'm wearing hi-tops,
wearing hi-tops getting high
I'm sure that in 1882
ankles were thought of as taboo
but I'm not to sure because I don't remember long
but it would if indeed correct
make for an interesting fact
whatever all these cunts
won't know I'm wrong
I'll tell you with all these tops I've burned
there must be lesson to be learned
but I'll be fucked if I can think of even one
apathy is a disease escape not equal to release
but when I learn to tie my shoes
I'm sure to run.

Fire with Fire
01:53
|
|||
|
My expectations exceeded no bounds
with the lack of common sense that's going around
but when the two towers fell starting fires for ourselves
seemed like giving water to the drowned
Fighting fire with fire, we've wasted our turn
Fire with fire, though it's none of our concern
and in the end even the president will learn
given time, given time to burn
It's not a single madman's sick cabaret
the greater crowd will allways wanna fight some other day
they're begging for war, well here comes some more
wasting our chances away
Of all the dumb things human beings do
fighting fire with fire comes in at number 2
because the greatest flaw achieved by modern man
is to make the same mistake again, again and again
