Marching, fighting, shoot and kill. Taking a life has never been my will. But order is order, so I have to murder. But order is order, so I have to murder. But order is order, so I have to murder. All of this sucks! Do you think it’s worth it? Worth all the pain. Staying here, my family’s so far away. Do you think that’s worth it? All that remains, is staying here, crying to the saints. Dreaming, crying, harm and pain. Fall asleep every night there’s no way. But order was order, so I had to murder. But order was order, so I had to murder. But order was order, so I had to murder. All of this sucks! Do you think it’s worth it? Worth all the pain. Staying here, my family’s so far away. Do you think that’s worth it? All that remains, is staying here, crying to the saints. Do you think it’s worth it? Worth all the pain. Staying here, my family’s so far away. Do you think that’s worth it? All that remains, is staying here, crying to the saints.

The sky is dark when I leave home 
and it’s dark when I return. Working all day from nine to five is not really what I wanted for my life. I will break the rules and I will still be free. Life is good for you and me. Sun is up, high in the sky, summer comes you can’t deny. Do what makes you happy.
 Do what makes you laugh. 
So then the sin will climb the clouds 
and you will stand above.
 Break the rules, still breath free.
 Life is good for you and me.
 Do what makes you happy.
 Do what makes you laugh.
 So then the sin will climb the clouds
 and you will stand above. Break the rules, still breath free. Life is good for you and me. I will break the rules
 and I will still be free.
 Life is good for you and me.
 Sun is up, high in the sky,
 summer comes you can’t deny. I will break the rules
 and I will still be free.
 Life is good for you and me.

Grey & Red 03:13
Try to separate what’s good and what’s bad. Everything seems to be grey and red. You have to find your own way. Through those streets can’t reach an end. An ending story never thought to bend. I don't know what to believe in. In whom I want to trust. Because this world we are living (in) is more than smoke and dust. It all has gone to pieces like mirrors falling down. A happy world to live in and call it my hometown. To all of our leaders ruling the whole world: You’re not honest even to yourselves. All day long you screw us, tomorrow I will realize everything is an intended move. I don't know what to believe in. In whom I want to trust. Because this world we are living (in) is more than smoke and dust. It all has gone to pieces like mirrors falling down. A happy world to live in and call it my hometown. I don't know what to believe in In whom I want to trust. Because this world we are living (in) is more than smoke and dust. It all has gone to pieces like mirrors falling down. A happy world to live in and call it my hometown. Call it my hometown Call it my hometown

Worries 02:42
There is so much music and art, I always wanted to take part. But it’s not really done with playing the same old song. You have to be patient and cool. And if genius won’t come don't be a fool and throw away what you’ve made I know that worries fade away for new ideas someday How hard can it be to write this simple song? How hard can it be, write it all on my own? How hard can it be, write it with passion and soul? How hard can it be? Thought it will be easy to glow, but then I saw how much it takes to grow. My head collapsed and said goodbye. Said goodbye, understood bone dry how hard it is to be the cheered and all the hopes have disappeared. I know that worries fade away for new ideas someday How hard can it be to write this simple song? How hard can it be, write it all on my own? How hard can it be, write it with passion and soul? How hard can it be? Trying Sort the weird thoughts in my head. Find the right words in my mouth. Just trying Set the sick notes on my sheet. And just create a simple song. Trying Sort the weird thoughts in my head. Find the right words in my mouth. Just trying Set the sick notes on my sheet. And just create a simple song. And just create a simple song! How hard can it be to write this simple song? How hard can it be, write it all on my own? How hard can it be, write it with passion and soul? How hard can it be?

Good Times 04:00
One time of the year, vacation with your dear. Cute, nice, everything - she‘s perfect Live this life of dreams. All‘s just what it seems. It feels like I‘m back on the right path Try to understand the beauty in your hand. Take a minute open your eyes. Don‘t waste your time. Depart from the straight line. Turn night to day and wash away your fears Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It‘s the best day of your life — of your life Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It is dancing on the knife — on the knife Forget the tough old days. Live your life without delays. Don’t look back and run straight into the light. A light that shines so bright, that makes you always feel alright. Sense feels deeper than it ever seemed Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It‘s the best day of your life — of your life Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It is dancing on the knife — on the knife Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It‘s the best day of your life Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It is dancing on the knife — on the knife Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It‘s the best day of your life — of your life Let the good times roll Everything you need to know It is dancing on the knife — on the knife

Do it better, make it faster buy it cheaper, sell it higher. You’re a liar, not a sire! ...to admire? Find the reason, get the credits, know my pants fit, check the limit. You’re a good guy, I’m a bad guy! ...but tell me why? Do you really want that, want to go this way? And is it really worth it, worth it to risk it all? Counting days, counting nights, Counting everything she likes. Hit the brakes, stop the bike! ...do you like? Pros and cons, dos and don’ts. Good or bad, Mum and Dad Go to bed, fall asleep with useless worries in their heads. The evolution isn’t always good. I wonder if you know or not. It’s rather worse than better. Now it’s time to leave this stormy world, where everything is trashed and burned. It’s rather worse than better. Do you really want that, want to go this way?

It's too late for you So let's be late together It's too late for me Go to that place you wanna be It’s too late for you Let us explore together Too late for me Can’t you see the beauty of this land? Where we can be together till the end Never look back just follow the track and go full attack cause there’s no way back To the world you’ve left behind Never look back just follow the track and go full attack cause there’s no way back Is that your state of mind? It's too late for you So let's be late together It's too late for me Go to that place you wanna be It's too late for you Let us explore together Too late for me Now we see the sunset in the sky Together we don’t care about their lies Never look back just follow the track and go full attack cause there’s no way back To the world you’ve left behind Never look back just follow the track and go full attack cause there’s no way back Is that your state of mind? It's too late for you So let's be late together It's too late for me Go to that place you wanna be It's too late for you Let us explore together Too late for me It’s too late for you It’s too late for me Too late for you and it’s too late for me It’s too late for you It’s too late for me Too late for you And it’s too late for me It’s too late for you It’s too late for me It’s too late for you And it’s too late for me It's too late for you So let's be late together It's too late for me Go to that place you wanna be It's too late for you Let us explore together Too late for me

Friendship 03:03
Friends will come and friends will go. There’s one thing that you need to know: The best remain like blood in your vein. Friends will come and friends will go. Another thing you need to do: Keep their energy in your memory. Eight o’clock in former times, school started, now be quiet. Just sitting right there and waiting for noon, didn’t ever come too soon. But when the bell rang at last, every one of us got fast. Quit and play the same old game. A game that we played with all of our mates whereby one of us gets fame. Friends will come and friends will go. There’s one thing that you need to know: The best remain like blood in your vein. Friends will come and friends will go. Another thing you need to do: Another thing you need to do: Keep their energy in your memory. I remember the nights we had vodka and sprite with our friends and your affair. If we couldn’t get a girl like that, the way was short to play voyeur. Day by day one by one dispersed away, bye for now was easy to say. But the truth really wasn’t our friend. Relations found an end. Friends will come and friends will go. There’s one thing that you need to know: The best remain like blood in your vein. Friends will come and friends will go. Another thing you need to do: Keep their energy in your memory

Planet B 02:39
Imagine you’re a fish in the sea with a plastic ring around your neck and your stomach’s empty, except for a bottleneck. Imagine you get caught by a trawl net illegally with all your friends, but you're not big enough so that’s why your journey ends. We’ve got no planet B, please care about her she’s for free. No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! We all know the key is our responsibility. No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! Imagine you’re an outback farmer, the next city is far away. You get the water for your family out of your own fountain. Imagine one day the pipes stay dry and you don’t know why. Could the reason be the new big company nearby? No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! We’ve got no planet B, please care about her she’s for free. No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! We all know the key is our responsibility. No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! We’ve got no planet B, please care about her she’s for free. No planet B! No planet B! No planet B! We all know the key is our responsibility. No planet B! No planet B! No planet B!

Always looking nice and clean, get up early, go to work. Don’t drink and drive be Mr. Nice Guy, in my world you’re a jerk. Get a new ride, you think you have to hide. Go to church and He will thank you. ‘Cause image, that’s the clue. Publicity is what it’s about, but sure not for me. Your way leads into the blackout with your suburban identity. Publicity is what it’s about, but sure not for me. Your way leads into the blackout with your suburban identity. I don’t really give a fuck how people are looking down on us. The only thing that really matters you will find in mirrored glass. Where you’re watching all the others without seeing your own face. It’s not about publicity, it’s about your happy place. A happy place per definition is a place. . . . . .where you feel free and love yourself. Publicity is not helpful at all to find your happy place. Publicity is what it’s about, but sure not for me. Your way leads into the blackout with your suburban identity. Publicity is what it’s about, but sure not for me. Your way leads into the blackout with your suburban identity.

Hey darlin’, how are you? Are you fine? Tell me about you. Tell me your thoughts and tell me your sins. Tell me everything. Let me be the passenger who sits next to you. I will listen to your stories and you will tell me about yourself. Dance, like nobody’s watching. Love, like you’ve never been hurt. Scream and shout, sing it out loud. Let’s go and spin it around. All those thoughts reminded me, of the hard times I’ve had. Of all the times I went through hell, to find myself. Let me be the passenger who sits next to you. I will listen to your stories and you will tell me about yourself. Dance, like nobody’s watching. Love, like you’ve never been hurt. Scream and shout, sing it out loud. Let’s go and spin it around. Dance, like nobody’s watching. Love, like you’ve never been hurt. Scream and shout, sing it out loud. Let’s go and spin it around.
