Young Angry Punx
01:51
|
|
||
|
The fists are clenched - the boots are laced .
Burning hearts, the eyes full of hate!
Spikes on the jackets, armed with a switchblade.
Always ready to fight, there is no way to hide.
They are hated - young, angry Punx
They are proud - young, angry Punx
It's night in the city, the rats are out.
The rats with mohawks, strong and proud.
The streets belong to them, the streets belong to us.
Punkrock for life, there's no doubt!

Fighting Against Lions
02:27
|
|
||
|
A man with strong convictions.
Cornered by rogue lions.
Lions rule the values of society.
They decide what's wrong what's right.
They decide what's wrong what's right.
Fighting against the lions.
They`re so fucking strong.
Fighting against their ignorance.
Stand up and carry on.
A man with strong convictions.
Cornered by rogue lions.
Lions rule the price of your life.
They decide if rich or poor.
They decide if rich or poor.
Hold on to your values! It´s the hardest way!
Fight for your rights and your family.
No future, for these authorities.

Your Love Is Dead
01:55
|
|
||
|
You felt it was false love, but you repressed this fact.
Low self esteem, was the reason for that.
You've given up on you, to reap some attention.
You did it so often! Now you`re feeling so bad!
Your love is dead!
Your Love is dead - dead and wasted
Your Love is dead - dead and busted
Your Love is dead - dead and wasted
Your Love is dead - dead and busted
Your mind told you, that it's wrong!
But you were addicted, false hope all night long!
Again and again, one more scar on your heart.
Now it`s cold inside you! And you`re feeling so bad!
Your love is dead!

No Rules Just Reasons
02:22
|
|
||
|
I wouldn`t play this game, believing what the media says.
Go to school, go to work,
shut up and never stand out! Always buy the newest stuff,
to be a part of the crowd.
No rules, no authority - Don't tell me what I have to do!
No gods, no masters - You`re not the owner of the truth!
I have my reasons, I have my lessons learned.
No rules, just reasons!
That's what I believe in. Are you the next cash-cow,
on the way to the slaughterhouse?

My City Streets
02:26
|
|
||
|
t's a sunny day, on my hometown streets.
My save harbour, my friend in need.
My heart beats, from my head to my feet.
For all my friends and all these memories.
Every street is a page in the book of my life.
All my friends, all my memories - Are in these streets,
in my city streets.
I see my friends, think about the old stories.
We stand together through all these days.
Nothing can divide us, we go the same way.
This city is our band, and this holds forever.

You feel the shame.
You lost this game.
There is no way out.
Your fire is dead.
You sink your head.
You lost your fucking pride.
Fight alone - believe it - no one can help you!
Stand up - and fight back - no one can help you!
Look in the mirror.
And what do you see?
It's your own enemy .
Be yourself.
And know your way.
It will be a sunny day.

Give It Back
01:59
|
|
||
|
The government makes decisions for you.
Retention of power, is more than the truth.
Lobbying counts more than the future.
How useful can it be? We are the people!
Give the power to the people.
Give it back! Give it back!
We have the power for a change.
Go ahead! Go Ahead!
You are too stupid, no experience.
It's too complicated, that`s their argument.
Diverted from the basic worries.
By prosperity and Hollywood Stories.
Pure democracy, governed from the bottom.
Your way of ruling, is obsolete and rotten.

Wake The Blind
02:01
|
|
||
|
It's their only way to escape.
Escape the misery and war crimes.
But you want to save your nation.
Believing their lies of foreign domination.
Wake the blind - and smash their fucking lies.
Wake the blind - and open their eyes.
Violence fills the air.
A stranger is killed and no one cries.
Blood on the golden bridge.
A wish for a better life was his crime.

Victim Of The Rat Race
02:22
|
|
||
|
Stand up in the morning, after a sleepless night.
Remember the worries, start the daily fight.
The words of your boss, are the first thought in your head.
No chance to escape, you are one of the hundred.
Too much pressure - day by day.
Too much pressure - show me another way.
I'm a victim of the rat race, the modern worlds bad face.
We are victims of the rat race.
Short break, you think about your life.
Is it worth it? This endless strife!
The dreams you had, so far away.
Performance society, it's not my way!

Get Away
02:16
|
|
||
|
Always all alone, always a step behind.
Get away.
Running round in circles , trippin in your mind.
Get away.
Life is simple and reality is cruel.
Get away.
Everytime you try, you think that you will lose.
Get away.
Whohoooooooho - time is runing out.
Whohoooooooho - every second counts.
You live in a world, that still hates you.
Get away.
And the race, is yours to lose.
Get away.
Your mind is a prison, but you stand tall.
Get away.
So you move slowly, with your back against the wall.
NO ! Get away.
You better strike.
Reach for your life.
Take control your time is right.
You better strike.
Reach for your life.
Take control your time is right

Burning Streets
01:55
|
|
||
|
The Yuppie invasion came to us.
Designer bullshit and trendy bars.
We have to pay the higher price.
For their pseudo-alternative lies.
You're out of place, this is our home.
We don't need your kind of shit.
Don't wonder when we fight it.
We don't need your kind of shit.
Don't wonder when we fight it.
When cars are burning every night.
We know our freedom is in sight.
They took our quarters, took our streets.
Now is time to retract it.
It's not too late, we still can fight.
The time is right for Yuppicide.

It's time - to show
who we are and what's the truth.
You spread - fucking lies
now show your face and fight.
We are standing here.
While you hide behind your screen.
You'd rather live in fear.
Create your own ruin.
Ohhhh - We'll stand together.
Ohhhh - Nothing can beat us down.
Ohhhh - Sooner or later we get you.
Ohhhh - We waiting for this day.
Behind - closed doors
grow up a cyber generation.
Try to lead - a war
but you will lose this battle.
We are standing here.
While you hide behind your screen.
You'd rather live in fear.
Create your own ruin.
