What do you think when you spit in my face?
How does it feel to accuse and to haze? Now look at me, I'm not one of your kind, And I prefer to stay behind. And walk the wicked way! We don't wanna be like you, Don't you get the King Of Fools? We don't mind your life is trite, You are the King Of Fools. We are never gonna be like you, We don't follow - King of Fools, You're the blind who lead the blind. And walk the wicked way! You feel at ease as you flock with the masses, What do you see with your heads in their asses? Keep on railing at what I believe , Call me insane and I am proud to be. And I walk the wicked way! We don't wanna be like you, Don't you get the King Of Fools, We don't mind your life is trite, You are the King Of Fools. We are never gonna be like you, We don't follow - King of fools, You are the blind who lead the blind! - Guitar Solo - We don't wanna be like you, Don't you get that King of Fools? We don't mind your life is trite, You are the King of Fools! We are never gonna be like you, We don't follow - King of fools, You are the blind who lead the blind. You are the King of Fools! 02. New Age Messiah
Countless pointing fingers
A nameless crowd too swollen to analyse Takes a rise out of the stranger Don't know where he's come from Bumfuck raises birds of paradise They surmise - very wise One night they witnessed How he lit his backdoor winds Fire turned the night into day And they prayed, fell on their knees And turned their glances off his face, They know they've been chosen to obey Pardon me Raise a graven image I'm the new messiah for the world You can't see the splendor of my nimbus But I'm the new messiah for the world For the blind The word shall spread like wildfire You got a new messiah holding sway Delightful game Don't you give away: I'm no redeemer But bring me grapes and diamonds right away And a maid to lay... One day oblivion will swallow up my fame The common run of mankind will forget my name Forget my name Like a phoenix rising someone else is gonna reign 'Til then you know that you are to obey me Pardon me... Gluttony and ecstasy, there's velvet on my dais Lions, ladies, rotaries they never spare with praise A million pointing fingers Have turned to clapping hands Now I'm off to Betty Ford, See you in hell my friends Pardon fucking me, who the fucking fuck is Jesus Motherfucking new messiah For the fucking world ;) Pardon me... 03. The Savage Union
Here I'm standing at the junction of my life
So many ways, I don't know which one is the right Do I wanna keep it up or throw it all away Or close my eyes, go on and live just for today I'm alive, I'm alive We're gonna dive into madness of life Heatstroke and nuts, don't live a lie No one to blame, we don't play your game We don't give a fuck, we're savage united Savage united we stand! Life is what happens to you while you're making plans It's time to find your mental equilibrium again Pedal to the metal and hit the passing lane Kill the demons, cut the crap, quit their wicked game I feel high, hell I'm high We're gonna dive into madness of life... 04. Holy Water
Waiting all the time to erase it from my mind
I feel like I've been left behind, my heart is frozen Pushed to rush and fall and again I'm gonna crawl Is there really no return from the life been chosen You wanted more from me than I could ever be Rain is falling, pouring down on me Holy water to ease my pain, purify me Rain is falling, pouring down on me Holy water to ease my pain I'm driving down my way to digest yesterday Under rain clouds towards the sundown to be devoured And then come out alive Dripping wet but purified Ready to bear the memories of golden hours No, there's nothing else that we can do We gotta walk on through Rain is falling, pouring down on me... 05. Life And Times of a Bonus Track
Poor artist went to a label, truckloads of money in mind
Rich artist left the building Cause all the labels had been standing in line And so they signed Artist wrote rock'n roll history Concentrated on an album so strong But business claimed limited editions Insisting on additional songs That was the time when I had been born When I first saw the light of day And even if you got a different opinion From my point of view - needless to say - That I'm happy to be Even if you don't want me to be The world wouldn't go round without me I'm a bonus track on my way to Japan And I'm gonna be spread on the Internet I'm a bonus track, to Brazil and back Enjoying worldwide fame They'll screw the industry, pay no royalty Burn me on CD, all illegally Chinese bootlegs, Russian piracy Cuthroat Germans they all copy me And I don't give a shit, to me it's all the same As long as I get all the fame And the girls know my name I don't give a fucking shit, no, I don't give a shit Don't give a fucking shit, no, no... Not a single little fucking shit Oh this is it... This is it! It! I'm a bonus traaaaaaaaaaaaack... |
