Hospital

hospital
take me to your hospital
stitch my eyes, stitch my mouth
don't need to see
don't need to speak
take me to your hospital
remove my heart and my soul
i don't need to love
i went inside your jail
behind your bars, in your cell
paid a visit to this girl you left behind
and i laughed a bit with her
and i pulled myself around her
and i told her that this thing
won't turn out fine
take me to your bank
and close my account
can't afford me anymore?
take me to your specialist
remove my data from your disk
i am such a viral risk
i sold my expectations to the pawnshop
and i hold my thumb up in the air
and the cars hiss like a rhyme
all waiting was in vein
i'll face the sun
i'll face the wind
I'll face the rain

Bulletproof Vest

bulletproof vest
nothing in the world is gonna make me stuck
nothing in the world is gonna pull my plug
even if i fall the world demands me to get up
i'm too stubborn, too stubborn to stop
if it's bout the money
i'll plow
if it's bout your future
i'll grow older somehow
i say goodbye to all my wishes
right here right now
take care of those boys, they want to jump in your bed
take care of those boys, they offer nothing but cigarettes
but see that this world won't spare you no lesson
and you're just an artist in one big jam session
if you beg them mercy they'll laugh
if you are in debt you'll see their wrath
but you will find your own solution
for this big mess
I'm your bulletproof vest
i wear your heart in my chest
i'm your bulletproof vest
an everlast

No Offense
03:13
|
|||
no offense
hold your guns
i'm just here
cause it was funny
meant no offense
i didn't mean no harm
hold your tongue
you will say it cause you're angry
but you can't make it undone
i cant make it undone
i play cards
with the bosses
but i'm not lucky
you have to bail me out
bail me out of here
found myself
in a state
where no doctor
took the chance to send me home
but i just gotta go home
i'm a clown
who sets his stage on fire
cause i'm afraid
you wouldn't like my show
Keep your clothes on
i'll pay the night
don't worry
i just need a hug
i just need a hug

The Informer

the informer
you're so happy
you're a disgrace
you're so free
i have no space
but if i pull your leg
a little here
a little there
you'll lose the race
you're a disgrace
see i wrote down
the very moment that you left
and i wrote down the very moment that you came
i know your name!
i know your name!
so give me another reason
one dirty spot in front of your door
i hate my life
i hate my wife
well, i don't know what am i doing here?
but it*s an
an awful feeling
if i have to think about you
i don't have to think bout myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
you're a dreamer
you're such a shame
you think the world's yours
i'll put you back in the frame
cause if i tell a little story here
a story there
the wind will turn
and you will burn
so give me another reason
one dirty spot in front of your door
I'll make a call
and that would be all
see i don't know what are you doing here
but well, i have this feeling
and if i hink what they all think
i don't have to think for myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself
spread the word!
this guy's a nerd!
keeping his sheep
far from our herd
spread the word!
this guy's a nerd
spread the word!
let's shoot this bird!

Moses

moses
why would i need a shovel in my hand?
what's here to dig man? my own grave?
i don't need your haircut
i don't need your shave
why would i need money in your bank?
what's here to pay man? my own bone?
i don't need your palace
i don't need your throne
say, why would i need your whip to lick my back?
what's here to sweat for? a bed and bread?
since i know you
i've got the rats in my shed
i won't bow, i won't beg
to your lack of respect
the big desert you spread
in my head
i won't beg, i won't bow
to your glamour and your show
the big mountains you pull
in front of my window
let my people go
let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!
why would i need your words to cut my tongue?
what's here to speak bout? that's your lie!
i won't greet you
i won't wave goodbye
why would i need your rifle in my hand?
what's here to fight for? that's my land!
i don't trust you
i don't shake your hand
you're not what i'd call a friend
a friend won't spill no tear
and a friend does not appear
in all this army gear
is that what you call kind?
kind men don't act like rats
kind men don't hang out
with the bats
i won't beg, i won't bow
cause no justice and no law
will stop this river of blood
that just reached my doorstep
let my people go
let 'em go
let 'em go
let my people go!

We Don't Give A Damn
04:07
|
|||
we don't give a damn
mr. testosterone bought a fancy new car
dr. sex pumps up boobs till they burst
colonel hate tells his men bout the beauties of war
preacher black is awaiting the worst
they squeeze our souls in their juice
they cook our brains in their jam
they grill our hearts on their barbecues
but we don't give a damn
yes we don't give a damn
no we don't give a damn
i wasn't out on the borders
don't know, if i am that bold
they list me in their folders
i am lucky to live in their vault
but i see what i see
and i smell what i smell
and if i see and smell right we will
all go to hell
well
they wash our minds at 95 degrees
drain those too fine for the sieve
they bleach, hang and dry our belief
but we don't give a damn
no we don't give a damn
yes we don't give a damn
and the poets repeat their stories
and the beggars beg their dime
the children play
and the parents have their worries
and nobody has time
while they lift their eyebrow
while they write the news
while they kneed us in their dough till we're soft and smooth
but we don't give a damn
no we don't give a damn
yes we don't give a damn

juanita guerolita
the specialists you hired seem to worry
and your search warrant's expired, i'm sorry
the weapons you fired hit nothing but dirt
all your spies have been unwired to the skirt
you should have retired without a word
now the boss is tired of your work
don't you dare a riot
you wouldn't even want to try it
you can't deny it, you better buy it
apply it, take your diet
coke
say, what's your favorite quotation
does your wife know 'bout your strange relation
with this young lady at the service station
what d'you think 'bout emigration?
you know boss don't like no stagnation
what?
you don't believe in reincarnation?
too much talk is masturbation!
think about every word
my boss is tired of your work
you know what happened if i dial this number again?
well, our torturer is a very inspired man
your friends have conspired, yes
you're in a pretty admirable mess
you ought to know it best
juanita guerolita is the boss
she's the last you wanna cross
she'll charge you the cost
juanita guerolita is the boss
you're the guest she's your host
she'll get back you get lost

Don't Forget
04:00
|

don't forget
don't forget i come
from far a way
and i sure speak my own
language
i know i've learnt yours now
but that won't mean, that i don't need my words
well, i need my words
not to be
misunderstood
don't forget i work
out on the fields
i leave early
come back late
but i bring fruits
we will share
i stay healthy
in the fresh air
don't forget i work
hard
don't forget we'll go
far a way
and we sure have our own
luggage
but i feel as light as i can be
i will fly all around the world you'll see
don't forget that
cause i won't
i won't, i won't forget

Warm

warm
would you please brew a medicine for me
i heard you learned the art of alchemy
something that makes me breath out
i appreciate your loyalty, sure i do
see all the needs of morality to
but still, this leaves in nothing for me, but me
bury me inside that hole
but i will keep the thoughts i stole
from your heart
i'm sure it won't break apart
cause on my long dark day
those thoughts they are my sun ray
they keep me from harm
warm
you see, you couldn't strengthen her back
you couldn't ease her tensed stomach
you couldn't cure the pain in her legs
maybe you would have had
a medicine for all of that
but i played my last card
i threw my best dart
i broke a triangle apart
but still i sing my songs alone
the happy and the sad
still, i'm like a stone in her bed
still i lose so many melodies
you wouldn't give them birth
we could keep us from harm
warm

Troubled Waltz
04:26
|

troubled waltz
you're leaving all your troubles home
cut your skin from your bone
crawling on the battlefield
your style as your shield
but my mirror was breaking
you know gods bakery is baking
humans of wisdom
or poor condemned souls
but i learned what time is
and it ain't my business
i sure feel fine
but brother, can you spare a dime?
the doors through which i wanted: blocked
i wasted my life to unlock
but then there was no wealth beyond
but i was oh so fond
of a world where money replaced the flower
where the liars own all power
where the drones march out to work
devil lurks even under your skirt
things worth to live for
all locked up behind your door
i spent my holidays on the shore
bought my luck in the store
but the irony behind it all
the liars have grown tall
so when i lay once buried dead
the'll put a store on my head
and there they drive a million cars
there they fight a hundred wars
soldiers lying dead
over my head
and the last bullet's used
and the fog is amused
for it will last a thousand years
and damp the dead with its tears

Good Friends

good friends
don't have no money, no
hey, how about a hat?
no money, no
not even for the cab
but it's a good cause, a good crowd
it's a good cause, a good crowd
but hey, don't sing too loud
don't have no money, no
but hey, how about a cd?
no money, no
but i work for the tv
and i can put you in a great show
yes, i can put you in a great show
but we pay no money, no
we do have some money, yes
hey, how about a song?
just two chords, a good groove
please don't get us wrong
we just wanna dance, dance, dance
dance, dance, dance, dance, dance
with our friends
and now that we're good friends...

Rootless Tree
07:20

rootless tree
winter's over, it's over
but i'm a rootless tree
bird, sing your song
but i disagree
my branches just won't blossom
not even grow a leaf
since all the roots are rotten
even fire would be a relief
the crows, they gather
in my groaning dead twigs
and the woodpecker drilled
his home deep in my bone
this is over
i lost my grip
i rip my feet off your soil
and i toil up the rocky path
yet i find no green grass
it's over, no bee
will ever land in my hair
there's no spring for me
the rootless tree
i got no fruits to bear
but the storm brought the scent
of your blossoms so fair
and since the roots are rotten, dear
i'll just walk away from here
i grew so thin in my thick bark
the long cold winter left its mark
see, your muddy soil just couldn't feed me in the end
i long to explore this exotic land
all the birds they sing about
and i dare to step into her garden there
i'll wait for her at her mountain stair
for i know my roots will grow fair
when the sun shines through her hair
i'm going south
and i'll keep the blood on my hands
i shot my mouth
i don't care if you understand
