It's about time for an innovation
Very few have come close
So clear so right in time
The past died painlessly with me
The incident was over
Now things looks so fine
So vast and divine

I was a sucker for it
It tasted worse all the time
But I can't get it out of my mind
What have I been using for brains

When being parted with it
Is like a fly with one wing
Hating it with the whites of my eyes
I was such an angleworm
A slave to the addiction king

The state I was in
A will to escape
I need to reinstate
Led astray but the delicious bait

I was a sucker for it
It tasted worse all the time
But I can't get it out of my mind
Got a will to escape
I need to reinstate
Led astray but the delicious bait

Been cracking this nut for a lifetime
To see where it all goes
But the moment you're finding out
What nobody knows
The door close
Nature found a way today
To say it's not ok
No way

Well I'm the one who sets the stage
I pull all the strings
I'm the tickle of butterflies
That temptation brings
I'm the air beneath the wings
The things you never seem to see
It's all part of me

The sympathy you offer for me I reap
But every night when you sleep
I destroy your world
Complex simplicity
Dissensions that I sow
That's why I don't tell you more
Than I need you to know
It's all in what I show

And your ignorance I bliss
What you don't know you won't miss
The apathy you find in me runs deep
Some secrets some reasons I will keep
The sympathy you offer me I reap
But every night when you sleep
I destroy your world

Is there anything worth fighting for?
Where do we go but nowhere
I lean against my own restraints
Traffic noise deflect the voices
Felt strewn down but I still ain't
Heading for defeat
Strong in mind

A will to win
I stand my ground
There's a first time for everything
Strong in heart I stalk my path
Narrow minded but oh so wide
Seldom seen a view so clear
Force the enemy on my side

It came so vast
It's all one to me
Struck down my past
It's about time to break free
Heading to win
Strong in mind

A will to win
I stand my ground
Heading for one
Strong in mind
A will to win
I stand my ground

Hell, it sticks up so hard
It hurts my spine
Half bottle planked upon the bible
I curse the day I was born
Notch some nice moments
I do whatever it takes
But when the words start to get around
I feel so torn

Most of my teeth feel loose
I stare at the walls
Get angry at myself for a while
Life's a kick in the head
It's so easy to crack
I'm dying in my heart
I'm afraid I'll become a vegetable

Counting minutes
Watch the world go by
I've learned to keep my mouth shut
What you think is a smile
Is a grimace of strain
Look at myself in a smashed up mirror
I feel like shit!
Life's a kick in the head
It's so easy to crack
I'm dying in my heart
I'm afraid I'll become a vegetable

The more I know
The less I doubt
That you know less
The more you are finding out

There's no denying
And if anything I'm telling you to do
Makes you feel as if you're coming through
At least I'm trying

Yeah, you better know my name
I've come this far
To play the game
I look out for the one
I have a green and washed-out smile

You honour me
But I'm a liar
Cannot explain
I cannot violate the face
Became a part of me
But I don't buy it

Yeah, you better know my name
I've come this far
To play the game
First things first
And then I ride
Turn my head
Side to side

...Same difference
Gonna be a riot here, yeah
Same difference everywhere
Gonna be a riot here, yeah
Same difference everywhere

Where are we going
Well, place your bets
Know all worth knowing
Know nothing yet
Full speed ahead
Quickly, no-one's been
I don't know who you're racing
But let me know if you win

Where are we going
Well, place your bets
Know all worth knowing
Know nothing yet
We don't deal the deck
Close but nowhere near
Only play percentages

Down here
We don't deal the deck
Close but nowhere near
Only play percentages

Down here
Close but nowhere near
Don't deal the deck down here
Close but nowhere near

Pleasure through comparison
Never out of debts
Inflatable relationships
And electronic pets
What ever you desire
Just let it bleed

A new pair of every thing's
What you need
Pleasure trough comparison
Never mind the past
Same script now as it was then
It's just a different cast
What ever you desire
Just let it bleed

A new pair of every thing's
What you need
Damned if you do
Damned if you don't
Damned if you try

And if you won't
Damned if you stand
Damned if you kneel
Damned if you don't
Have the sex-appeal
What ever you desire
Just let it bleed
A new pair of every thing's
What you need

Stripped of all emotions
Ready to play ball
Rolling with the punches
Never stealing small

Lay it down dirty
Play it back clean
I hear what you´re saying
Don´t know what you mean
It´s a scheme

I have to say
You´re only facing me
To turn away

But I´m here to stay
Swallowed by pride
I´m gonna need you
So I´m on your side

Turning in the same coin
No one seems to mind
Total social failure
Always paid in kind
What a find

All burn in grey
When you have nothing
You can´t turn away

But I wanna stay
Came on the line
High waters later
It fell from my hand

But I´m on the way
Still far to go
Caught in my head
Can´t dig it
Some will say the father is prey

What can I say?
There´s just no way, is there?
So I act as if it´s ok mister
I am who I am
I say goddamn
Goddamn I give whatever I can
Now that is what a nice guy I am

I have no need to be a part of thee
Spare me your terrible uncertainty
I am who I am
I say goddamn
Goddamn I take care while I can
Now that is what a nice guy I am

You gotta be human to be inhumane
Gotta be crazy not to go insane
Gotta be a fool not to be a fool
And you gotta rule not to break any rules
Don´t be to smart
Or to high priced
Now that is where the snake
Comes into paradise

I am who I am
I say goddamn
Goddamn I give whatever I can
Now that is what a nice guy I am

Rejected by my own kind
Don't understand the crime I've done
Should never have trusted that hatebreed
Maybe I'm better of gone

Is this a punishment for being scared
Cause that's what I've always been
And now that I stand here alone
Must be the saddest sight ever seen
My eyes work slow

It's not easy to express a feeling
When they think my heart is of stone
With one square foot and a ceiling
Even the toughest feel like a pulverised bone
Now I'm not even close to my former self
I'll be nothing if they go on like this

Hope they will be satisfied now when I'm low
Beaten down and left in my own piss
I'm sorry to say, I don't care if you pray
It can't go on like this
Just leave me alone, let me rot to my bones
My eyes work slow

I'm so smart Aleck
The world spins around my head
Got lots to learn
Although everyone´s so full of lead

Silent almost rigid
Cut off as by a switch
I won´t comprehend
Until they all lay down dead in a ditch

Things don´t concern me at all
My eyes are shut
The hat low over my eyes
I´m the devil in disguise
I look at things from a certain view
Looking with distaste
No, I would never ever compromise

I´m so smart Aleck
The world spins around my head
My eyes are vague and empty
Just as the light behind them is dead

Things don´t concern me at all
My eyes are shut
The hat low over my eyes
I´m the devil in disguise
I look at things from a certain view
Looking with distaste
No, I would never ever compromise

You say it don´t concern you at all
I say you´re blind
With that hat low over your eyes
You should compromise
You see things from a certain view
Shut your ego down
You fell for your inbred lies
You should have compromised

Jack worm came to conquer this world
We all knew that was his intention
To strip the financial market to the bone
And he wouldn't make an exception

Jack was a man with a confidential mind
A great deal of flesh and blood
No doubt about him being the king of the ring
As long as the dough kept coming in

Jack was a healthy man with very steady nerves
His concept was to never think twice
He had the world in his greedy fat hands
He'd succeeded with his made-up device

Jack always wonders what else there's to buy
Worm being worm had it easy to get by
The entire world ate out of his hand
You better figure out away to take a stand

I am a wealthy man
This is just how I am
It's time to take a stand
This is just my lousy plan

Jack rose from the seat at his desk
Pulled aside the curtains for a peak of the street
Set down again and smiled wistfully
It all became clear as he said

I am a wealthy man
This is just how I am
It's time to take a stand
This is just my lousy plan
I am a wealthy man
This is just how I am
It's time to take a stand
This is just my lousy plan

Listen it's still parted
This doesn't match the price I pay
What you end up saying
Is what you swore you'd never say

Well, I like you like you like me
I pass out wolf tickets

Nothing's left and nothing's right
Looks as dark as can be
Maybe I'm as weird to you
As you are to me

Well, I like you like you like me
I pass out wolf tickets
I'll be as blunt as I can be
Stay away from me

"There are more people alive today than have ever died
Now, if this is true
And if you believe in reincarnation
It means there are a lot of people around without souls
Doesn't that make sense?
I've met some of them
Haven't you?"

We're all just humans down here
Big or small
But some can be so full of
Nothing at all

Well, I like you like you like me
I pass out wolf tickets
I'll be as blunt as I can be
Stay away from me
