Standing on corners
And begging for quarters For what? for you! (and you) Busting my head Cos that's what you said For all of us - fuck you! Just like you! People are happy When they're not so trapped By someone just like you! (and you) Many more years Of nothing but fear Of anything you do! 1980's was run by A person who's crazy -- like you! (and you) The 1990's will be Unkindly, exactly like you! (and you) Just like you! (and you) You! When one dictator Is the same as the leader -- just like you! (and you) We work, we survive Just like you! (and you) We work, we twitch You! (and you) Just like you! 02. We Believe Music & lyrics by Alain Jourgensen
Standing round the table
Spinning fables And signing autographs Can't you hear them laugh Ha ha ha ha ha In their secrecies They plan their strategies It's called hypocrisy And we believe Mornings They tell me everything That i need to know Or i care to know Well i can visualize The look in your eyes The horror As the plane goes down And the siren sounds We can't believe We can't believe In the east where the bear is dancing In the west where the eagle flies In the middle we stand our ground The forces pull us down down down Tensions on both sides We're paralyzed and victimized We're terrified and petrified Demoralized and mortified Of genocide and suicide And patricide and cyanide We're pacified by every side Force-fed pride and then we die for them We die for them In the east where the bear is dancing In the west where the eagle flies In the middle we stand our ground The forces pull us down down down We believe... 03. All Day Music & lyrics by Alain Jourgensen
Well i'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun
And i keep on working till the work is all done But a voice in my head keeps ticking away As the sweat's hosed down from yet another day Well he works hard And he lives hard And he breaks his back without nothing to gain While the boss man sits around and drinks champagne All day (you work and you work and you work and) In life, there's just one transition All day (you work and you work and you work and) In life, there's just one decision Well i'm peeling the blisters off my working hand Is that what it takes to make you understand? That it's something you read, not something you meant To be slaving away without a shred of integrity He worked hard And he lived hard And he broke his back without nothing to say While the man in control was just laughing away All day (you work and you work and you work and) In life, there's just one transition All day (you work and you work and you work and) In life, there's just one decision Was it something you read? Was it something you meant? Was it something you said? Or was it heaven sent? All day (you work and you work and you work and) In life, there's just one transition All day (you work and you work and you work and) In life, there's just one decision... 04. The Angel Music & lyrics by Alain Jourgensen
Now is an angel there?
Now is an angel there? Now is an angel there? One left out When they passed heaven about What about me Sitting here in my purgatory So left out He's dead I'm alive He's spared Always an angel who cares Always an angel there One like me We try so hard Five like you Someone dead again Where's your angel now? Where's your angel now? Where's your morals now? Where's your morals? Always an angel there Where's your angel now? Always an angel who cares Always an angel there Where's your morals? There's always an angel who cares There's always an angel there No more people staring No more fatal dares Like a baby grabbing at Something that isn't there But it is But it is Always an angel there Always an angel who cares Always an angel there Always an angel who cares... 05. Over The Shoulder Music & lyrics by Alain Jourgensen
Big size, small size
Any size, round and round We need, we take Burn it all to the ground Started over and learned to walk We teach you how to talk Please try and understand We're helping all mankind We use them a while then it's over the shoulder We use them a while then it's over the shoulder We are serious O, serious Dollar here, dollar there Dollars flying everywhere We're only here to please Stop the killing, trust me We'll only be a while Big while, big big smile We use them a while then it's over the shoulder We use them a while then it's over the shoulder We have in our hands Every woman and every man Things are gonna go far Down a real big fast car And what you see is what you get Keep 'em hungry, you bet You need security To keep you from the enemy We use them a while then it's over the shoulder We use them a while then it's over the shoulder... 06. My Possession Music & lyrics by Alain Jourgensen
Hanging and banging and cussing and bitching
And scratching and twitching at my demand Grabbing and poking and bruising and choking I'm sprinkled i'm tinkled i'm losing my man I found a new way I found a better way I found the only way To cure frustration I don't care what you say About my moral ways Get on your knees and pray Cos you're slaves anyway Coming and going and moving and groaning And hitting that kitten and making him yowl Wailing and flailing and trudging and flogging And punching my doggie and making him howl I found a new way I found a better way I found the only way To cure frustration I don't care what you say About my moral ways Get on your knees and pray Cos you're slaves anyway My possession, my possession, my possession, mine, all mine Kicking that butt now licking that butt Now kneel on that gut now the red light's on Pushing and shoving that bread in the oven I'm paying them back for what they've done I found a new way I found a better way I found the only way To cure frustration I don't care what you say About my moral ways Get on your knees and pray Cos you're slaves anyway My possession, my possession, my possession, mine, all mine... 07. Isle Of Man Music & lyrics by Alain Jourgensen
Nice place
Clean water Fresh air Blue skies Like pirates We tried it We took what we deserved Half million Years later We'd used up Our reserves We're crying 'What happened?' We get what we deserve We get what we deserve We get instead the isle of man The isle of man I've wandered Through forests With our garbage Waist-high Can't clean it I mean it We get what we deserve Rainy mornings Dry evenings It's growing On my nerves Just gases You fascists You get what you deserve You get what you deserve You get instead the isle of man The isle of man I'm writing This letter So no one Will forget Some future Cave dweller Will find these notes an isle of man... |
