Has time changed or is it still the same but in a different way did we evolve or did we fail? Everything was better then – we‘ve never done so fine like we’re doing now just wanna know where do we go Is it getting late or is it getting better So many good ideas we used to know a lot so many we forgot it’s said to be progress but it is not It took five billion years to let that whole world grow – that awesome unique show – a hundred years to burn it down Is it getting late or is it getting better We should be pilloried – wearing sackclothes (and ashes) with our heads bowed (and full of shame) it’s us to blame
Old Lady Blue
You’ve seen pleasure you’ve seen pain you’ve seen the sun you’ve seen the rain you are so old but always new you are the good old lady blue you’re always there and never gone although you’re always on the run you may be bent but never tamed maybe slowed down but never lamed You get me out you guide me home you’re listening when I’m alone this one’s for you Old Lady Blue So
many nights right by your side the moon is our guiding light you unite and you divide what is left and what is right You’re always there and never gone although you’re always on the run steady flowing and never tired into the rising sun from the dark woods to the city of rain meandering to the black sea steady flowing and never tired forever and eternally You keep going on with might not snotty - sure - but with some pride if someone is allowed to be proud it’s only you Old Lady Blue
High Time
It`s high time we went dancing again all through the night from the start to the end it`s high time we went dancing again my little sweetheart you and me Oh my sweetheart you`re my little sweetheart I love you so oh my little sweetheart My little sweetheart havn`t told you for a while that I love you that I need you so let`s leave our troubles and our worries far behind let`s dance the night away Routine may have killed the romance in our lives but believe me I still love you let me prove it to
you get into the night come on let`s make it right Let`s dance the whole damn night away let`s dance and make this feeling stay
Let’s get cracking
Still so much left to do still so much left to push through still so much to clear and so much to correct so much to fight so much to protect Still so many walls to build up still so many walls to tear down still so many borders to cross so many to reform still so much rain and so much storm Let’s drink a last time mates to forget our hate let’s pluck up some courage friends to succeed in the end with the past in our heads the future in our hands Let’s get crackin tomorrowlet’s drink tonight ignoring all worries and sorrows let’s drink and get prepared for the final fight Still so many minds to change still so much to rearrange so many dales to stride so many mountains to climb many to lead back on the right track The sun will rise again and we’ll be there wide awake and stout-hearted to rock this place join us come along
Don’t ask where I come from ask where I’m going to don’t ask where I was born ask where I’m living now Don’t ask me about my grades ask for the lessons I have learned Don’t judge my job don’t judge my shape not the colour of my skin not the music I am in Judge the words i gotta say not the god to whom I pray It’s not the surface it’s far beyond Life is more than a haircut life is more than clothes Life is more than a uniform the core is far beyond Listen what I gotta say hey man watch what I do all day
The assembly line just started rolling your biggest dream became true the devil inside of you is calling we’re complaining but nothing’s going on The assembly line is rolling faster unstoppable on and on my paycheck is a horrible disaster one day a week that I’m at home while you’re playing with your balls behind your big desk you expect us to produce more you take away our money radioes and cigarettes we’re complaining but nothing’s going on The assembly line is rolling faster exhausting and cold the pressure’s rising and it’s getting nasty, you make us cribs until we’re old while we‘re slaving ourselves and going high speed you still claim for more if it is so easy come and prove it we’re complaining but nothing’s going on Anonymous money tells us how to work ridiculous theories thought up by jerks while you’re trying to squeeze out a little more risking our lives I promise you can’t fool us forever you’ll be burning when something’s going on
No one is sober and noone is able to to drive the bus to drive it safe oh no our knight in shining armour the mighty 4-string man takes responsibility going on and on Ohh Mr. bus-driver ohh you will bring us home tonight 500 miles later 500 miles from home and still a last leg that we have to go but he keeps on driving unhurried and unimpressed the heating’s off and Psycho on the radio Ohh ohh Mr. bus-driver ohh you will bring us home tonight ohh Mr. bus-driver ohh thank you for bringing us home tonight So many times so many nights sacrificing yourself for us you’re drinking water and driving the bus our knight in shining armour the mighty mighty 4-string man takes responsibility going on and on
Have you ever seen 22 men hunting for a leather ball coloured black and white I’ve seen 'em all kicking fighting running it’s going forward backward left and sometimes right ways It’s just a game and it’s mostly the same but I simply like football A cold beer in my hand a thousand people screaming for their football team celebrating every goal don’t know what makes me cheering dancing singing with obsession devotion and forever Your team may win on away goals but I don’t mind I simply like football A 90-minute fight the battle of our lives full of hostility full of hate and swears but friends again drinking dancing singing and kicking out the ones who have drifted apart.
Young men are dying and you’re keeping on lying to you and to me all the time why can’t you understand that more blood in the sand is not the answer no it’s just a crime can’t you hear babies crying whose daddies are flying into the unknown between heaven and hell will they return noone can tell Come on and wake up it’s time for reality come on and wake up When old men talk and young men die well then it’s war You gut the guttersnipes who cut guts with guts who snipe for hot meals for a place to sleep you abuse their fears take their hearts full of tears drag them into it much too deep just ignorance and arrogance no respect for common sense believing still spreading the truth eye for an eye tooth for a tooth
Silence wakes me up like a dead man calling hello and welcome to paradoxia good day bad news forever fades away you`re the last man standing now everything is cheesy and noone`s really got a soul And I hope you could read between the lines and I hope that you could read between the lines and please go ahead don’t stop asking why Big big emotions what you never seem to show your life in slow motion good times bad times and the light begins to faint and colours turn to grey the atmosphere is greasy and noone’s really got a soul Holy Maria the air is on fire everything goes down to the wire Big big emotions what you never seem to show your life in slow motion reverse and rewind a wonderful flavour tonight
You tell us what to see to hear to wear what to afford and what to bear you keep choosing the truth for us you tell us where to go and where to smoke who are the right guys who are the wrong blokes you still claim it`s all just for our best stop choosing the truth Mighty man please stop this propaganda only lies only lies only lies and take warning We abandon our privacy for security we take the blame for your nonconformity you still claim it`s all just for our best we like to find our own truth and not the truth you choose
The night downtown to feel the heat just guys around I do not need what is going on? how do you do? some things are bad and some are good he’s got a new job and those are married and someone comitted suicide everyone‘s cool everyone’s hot some are on top and some are not rumours and gossip a lot of hot air unimportant words here and there stop dissembling interest I can’t pretend to be polite go ahead and vanish into the night Talking talking talking nothing’s said your bland words bore me to death talking talking talking a shot and then I see a bullet crossing your head
So many miles we went together hand in hand we’ve been walking upright side by side fearing to lead a bad life more than an early death never on our own always standing one for all and all for one cause It’s so easy stand tight and tall what can’t kill us makes us tough and strong forever going on and standing strong Getting closer to the wall to the edge about to fall I won’t tumble cause you’ll be right there you’ll be two steps behind me or behind my enemy never on our own always standing one for all and all for one Sisters and brothers lads and friends standing strong
