Lyrics


1. SLAVE

Lived too long now you've come to take me
To a place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Can't be something but I'll try

Lived too long and waited to just drown
In my self pity I keep falling down

Want to be your soldier
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself

Only book that I own is called 'how to lose'
Pick a chapter, I know them all, just choose

Lived too long and waited to find
A place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Give me something but I'll try

Want to be your solider
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
That's how I behave


2. FINDAWAY

You've been locked up, and you need to escape
You broke the law, it was your first offence
Drug addiction, subtracting all your privileges
But giving up just makes no sense

[Chorus]
We'll find a way
We'll find a way

Don't give in, don't give in
Don't give in, don't give in
Ohhh

All you can think about is breaking free
You can't make it on your own
You're thinking negative, nothing can go right
It's eating you down to the bone

[Chorus]


3. SUICIDAL DREAM

I dream about how it's going to end
Approaching me quickly
Leaving a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear

People making fun of me
For no reason but jealousy
I fantasise about my death
I'll kill myself from holding my breath

[Chorus]
My suicidal dream
Voices telling me what to do
My suicidal dream
I'm sure you will get your's too

Help me, comfort me
Stop me from feeling what I'm feeling now
The rope is here, now I'll find a use
I'll kill myself, I'll put my head in a noose

[Chorus]

Dreamin' about my death, dream...

Suicidal, suicidal, Suicidal dream


4. TOMORROW

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town
The only way to get there's to go straight down
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink
Very hard to drink

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow

You say that money, isn't everything
But I'd like to see you live without it
You think you can keep on going living like a king
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it

Very hard to drink

You gonna wait til, fat boy
Fat boy, wait until tomorrow


5. NEW RACE

There's gonna be a new race
Kids are gonna study up
I'm gonna mutate
Can't you say "yeah, ha!"?

[Chorus]
Yeah, heah, ha, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, heah, ha, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, heah, ha, we're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, heah, ha, we're really gonna punch you, oh, yeah

Sick of waking up late
Gotta get some control
Kids are gonna mutate
From an endless grow

[Chorus]

Seeking sacking lay down
Youths taking us out
Kids are gonna regect
Yeah, they're gona punch you

[Chorus]

(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you out
(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you out
(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you out
(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you

(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you
(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you
(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you
(Yeah heah ha) Really gonna punch you


6. FAULTLINE

Unexpecting brother
Doesn't know what to do
When everything just falls to the ground oh
He runs to find some cover
He doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found
When he's informed that he
Will never see the boy
Will never see the boy
You'll never see him open his eyes
We'll never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries

Oh yeah oh oh oh

Thinking of the past,
It's all over now,
Mother nature's striked once again,
It happened oh so fast,
Now the question's how,
How could they let that building descend

Oh, yeah, oh

You will never see the boy,
You will never see the boy,
You will never see him open his eyes,
You will never see the boy,
Never see the boy,
You'll only hear his heavenly cries

Oh, yeah, oh, oh, oh,
Yeah, no no never, no oh

After your life, I leave, I'm dead,
Leading me off through the night,
If he's born again, I need you to find,
Need you to find, where he is.


7. LEARN TO HATE

I wanted to be friends with her too
So my relationship could be the same as yours
I hated everyone just like you
Hating you should be introduced as a new law

Take the time to learn to hate
Come and join the mass debate
Take the time, take the time
It's all uphill you've gotta climb

You betrayed all the trust I gave you
Now I need therapy to hate a little more
You cannot help me to forgive you
The drugs have given you all kinds of different sores

As you pump drugs into your bloodstream
I sit observing in disgust
Hoping that you will finally come clean
So I don't have to use this gun


8. PURE MASSACRE

People dying for no reason at all
Age is no difference or if you're large or small
Families been torn apart
Doesn't have to be this way
Some people just have no heart
It's happening every day

Pure massacre
Pure massacre
Pure massacre
Pure massacre

Machine guns pumping
Hearts thumping
Death is all around yeah
People crying for freedom
No one hears the sound oh

Pure massacre,
Pure massacre
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre alright

There's people crying,
There's people dying,
But someone's taken it all, yeah

Machine guns pumping,
Hearts thumping,
Death is all around,
People crying for freedom,
No one hears the sound

Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
It's gonna be,
A pure massacre
Yeah


9. ISRAEL'S SON

Hate is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
You're late for the execution
If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead

[Chorus]
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to

I hate you and your apathy
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here
I'm playing this pantomime
But I don't see you showing any signs of fear

[Chorus]

This time I'm for real
My pain can not heal
You will be dead when I'm through

[Chorus]

Pain and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air... yeah

I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air


10. BLIND

I need to get out
There's something wrong round here
I have no doubt
We're all really down from fear
Everything's dark
And I cannot find
What I've been looking for
So I have to say I'm blind
But he cannot see
But he cannot see
Yeah

If you do
Shed a tear
Don't go near my place
Because I I won't be here
There's no love lost between you and me
And that's the way that I like it
I want to live life like a normal man,
And I think I can, yeah,

But he cannot see,
Yeah, he cannot see,
He's blind, oh yeah,
Ooh, fuck, yeah, alright,

I'm blind,
Oh I'm blind,

If you do,
Shed a tear,
Don't go near my place, baby,
Cause I, I won't be here,
There's no love lost between you and me,
And that's the way that I like it,
I want to live life like a normal man,
And I think I am,

But he cannot see,
Yeah, he cannot see,
He's blind, oh yeah,
Oh, fuck, yeah, alright
Yeah, oh, no, yeah,
Fuck, oh, alright.


11. UNDECIDED

Ohh, there's no time
To choose for yourself
It's like the candle's lit at both ends now
Deteriorating health

Parent's breakin' up
Wish they would decide
Whether to stay together
Can't make up their minds

They wonder why you need someone
You get no freedom at all
They want you to drop down and conform
They make your self-esteem fall

[Chorus]
Undecided, can't make up their mind
Your parents collided and left you behind

If there's a lock to their minds
Can you tell me please
I'll be straight
Straight to get the keys

[Chorus]

Her mother doesn't even know her name...
Undecided
If there is trouble, well she just gets the blame
But denies it

[Chorus]


12. LEAVE ME OUT

Ohh, you can lead a throne
But I'm something you don't own
No...

Greed is a sin
So don't lead me in
Ohh...

Ohh, you can leave me out
Leave me out
Leave me out
Ohh, yeah


13. FREAK

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Freak


14. YOU

Addiction's held you back
But you don't care
'Cause you're on a high again
And it's not fair
Consuming alcohol
While I gotta drive
Take a hit from the drugs you stole
And try to survive
Since your life was over
You haven't yet been sober
You have held me back so long
Everything you do is wrong

Now I gotta dump you
Continue my life too
I tried to help you
Don't care what you do

Your state of mind's improved
But we're still apart
I visited you'd moved
Don't know where to start
Your life's and open cold sore
Got to get out of the cream
Now I'm thinking positive
But I know it's a dream

You dies yesterday


15. MADMAN

I can't release you
You're a mad man
Need help to
Madman, Madman

You're tied to alcohol
It starts to take its toll
Madman, Madman
Oh, Madman, Mad

Mind filled with confusion
Your life's an illusion
Madman, Madman...
