Pizza for breakfast, my mouth is dry. I can't remember what I've done last night. One beer for lunch and a song for a dime. My friends go to work and I waste my time? But as far as I can see, this new day will be exciting, at least for me. Hay for the horses and beer for me Yeah as far as I can see singin'songs is still for free. So dudes won't ya sing with me: „Gimme a reason to believe!“ Donuts for dinner I take one shot. I guess I'm on a roll, hope my friends put me up. Red wine at midnight the bottle gives blood. After 27 drinks, I pull the plug ® Dance! Pills in the morning reduce my pain. 2 Pints of Lager and I'm back in the game. As long as I'm solvent, I know there's no end. The echos remain and I'll do the same. And when the world decides to put an end to itself Then maybe I'll stop drinking and start thinkin' of myself

We've got the same dream in the depth of our mind, meeting real friends, having fun all the time. Who cares about the stuff, threatening our lives? I must confess that I'm one of that kind! Eating fish containing poison we've made. Tell me how does it sound to you? What gives us the right, to set the world alight? Nothing will ever happen, if we won't start to change. Don't blame a few scapegoats! I know we're all the same. Under the same sky we walk the same earth. We forget about things of common worth Consuming more than we need 'til the last tuna's gone. No sharks are left, but the trawling goes on... You're reading books describing how it must end. I beg your pardon but you don't understand! Expanding companies suggest what we need We are destroying ourselves by our greed Employing people for subsistence wage. Tell me how does it sound to you? What gives us the right, to set the world alight? Oceans have suffered from our mistakes but we keep on gambling and raising the stakes, Even though we know our life is involved. Will we get these problems solved?

One thing makes a difference, finding someone dead on the ground. She was gone, didn't left hope nor tried everything to make life count. Every buidling has a rooftop, everybody knows about this fear. There's no break letting it stop. I never felt myself so clear. That was the minute right before I closed my eyes. Trying to save a child is worth it losing your own life No more blood and broken bones but life goes on. Cardiac Arrest. She was too young! I've tried to stop her from doing something wrong. But she bent over to fall and said „Life goes on!“ Some days better never start or pass by before noon I used to think I'll go my way travel the world below the moon Every bridge is a symbol, everbody choose to stay or leave I didn't expact anyone sharing the same sort of grief That was the minute right before I closed my eyes. Trying to save a child is worth it losing your own life Then she overbalanced with folded, strong hands. I had to watch her fall. I guess there's no way to feel more helpless! It makes my skin still crawl.

It took my mind, I don't know what to believe. Mr Jobs ate my Creativity Sometimes I hate this crap the large letter C. No life without light, no C without P. A Ministry of truth. Orwell had known what might come true. Big Brother keeps watching you. Dear Agents who read my message. We make the same mistakes and go down the same road again It looks like we go astray and love to give up our plans All we need is a spade and a heart of gold In times of darkness use your head led by hope We give all rights to IT companies but I don't give a damn what's been displayed to me They’re tryin' to take over control of me but at least I'll choose to switch off machines

The Wall 03:00
I shouldn't mourn for the debris from my shattered dreams I better hope for tailwind blowing 'em across the sea How lucky I am to have something that makes Saying goodbye as hard as loosin' a friend I shouldn't cry for the ruins that were built upon traitorous soil I show a lack of wisdom every time I come to that point I'm ready for take-off to leave home behind There's no beloved ground when two jets collide Recently I've been building a wall Intended to shelter my sanctums from all Someone breathes new life into my soul Makes me remember that I've left a little (hole) Wise men reported from walls destroyed by horns I do believe in a power bigger than a war How lucky I am to have something that makes Saying goodbye as hard as loosin' a friend

You're a Fool! She is playing with your heart, until your heart is going to break apart. Time sucks! You will never win this game No Chance! Some things never change You know what it's like to get hurt all the time But the beauty of her body brings darkness to your mind Time to forget! If these are the good times? Never look back, but open your mind. Time to forget! If these are the good times? Clean out your head and learn to be blind. A dirty Queen. She is fooling you around. Playing a role. She will let you down Love sucks! You will never win this game. No chance! It's happening again. You know what it's like to feel burnin' flames inside But the scent of her pillow won't be worth it to fight

I could cut myself and write a letter with my blood That’s so dumb you would send it back I could buy for you a diamond and a ring, Then I'm broke, because of shit. But that’s not comparable to what I feel inside. And this time, I’m sure, it's right. I've got no words to say, got no time to waste Now it's much too late. I'm sorry that I've missed your birthday! No more games to play. Nothing to give away There's no need to fake it. Sorry, I forgot your date! I know I've messed it up a couple of times. I think I've found a way and this time it's all right. I wrote a song for you, with a catchy tune, as hot as June like Ninety-nine balloons. And this time, I’m sure, it's right. I'll pick you a rose on my way down to hell, but a song is like the scent you have smelled. I know that I will obliviate again, but these words of this piece will be always the same.

This is the anthem for those who wanna make a difference at all, with dreams from the future and memories of war. In times of wasting it's hard to create. We are part of a system which is shifting the weight This is the anthem for those who take a look at themselves, eat mostly plants and focus on health. Don't live your life under neon lights. Try to abstain, start a fire for the night. And I've asked myself quite often. How many days are left for us? Who puts the final nail in the coffin? Senators go out and the peasants go bust! Don't give up, don't give up your peaceful fight for the value of nature and freedom of Life. Get rid of some stuff, start a fire for the night. Don't give up, don't give up your peaceful fight for sustainability- Nothing is right. Let's start a fire tonight. This is the anthem for those who wanna have less to find more, feel free to leave and open the door. No matter what you're going through. Keep always on searching and love what you do! This is the anthem for men who have a heart to shout Out disregard people who spread fear and doubt. Don't give up, don't give up your peaceful fight for justice and living your life.
