I don’t need you to tell me how to live I’ve seen your kind here before I’ll still be here when you have packed your bags I’ll show you to the door Wont let you ruin this once again This is the end of your reign my friend Punk rock conformist, now get out of my face You’re a contradiction to what you preach If this movement is dead, its all because of you A supposed equal environment but with an elitist few I came here to get away from people just like you This time I’ve had enough of your restrictions and rules

Democrazy 02:40
I’m free to decide who’s gonna rule over me In this system we call democracy I can speak my mind, I can have my say Cause no one cares anyway Give me one reason why I should listen to you You never kept a single promise that you made This time you wont play me for the fool I don’t believe a single word you say You sell your lies, but I’m not buying it Just forget it, I wont vote your way Its every headline news, on every TV-show They’re telling me the things I don’t wanna know Just get out of my face, you make me fucking sick I’ve had it up to here, don’t wanna deal with it Now give me something to believe in Because so far you’ve given me nothing But hate and despise

I just feel that we’ve been down this road before And we know where it ends I just know that this story’s already been told Again and again and again We’ve walked through hard times And come a long way since -34 But despite that journey you just haven’t moved at all As if nothing has changed I’ve got to let it out, cant keep it inside, inside! Your lies, your birthright, You’re everything I despise Your strife, your white pride, out of line and out of time Can’t stand that point of view, I don’t believe this world Was made for a chosen few So just stay out of my sight cause you are everything That I despise A cleaned up act but their past shines through Just the same, just the same They wear suits no boots, but the colors hasn’t Changed, still the same propaganda I’ve got to let it out, cant keep it inside, inside! Your lies, your birthright, You’re everything I despise Your strife, your white pride, out of line and out of time Can’t stand that point of view I don’t believe this world was made for a chosen few So just stay out of my sight cause you are everything That I despise There has to be something more We need a future we all can believe in And some things are still worth fighting for

I'm so sick of these new times This cold disheartening age we've reached It's all for one and nothing for some It's the same old scam but now it seems legit Empathy and solidarity, you selfish fuckers Do you even know what that means Chasing the sick and striking on the poor Your fascist policies are just protecting the rich Desperate minds with nothing to live for Are a dangerous kind you better watch out for Fuck your alliance and the climate you create Look at this mess, you never learn from your mistakes I used to feel some kind of pride Don't want to live here anymore You're selling out this country piece by piece How do you sleep at night and keep your mind at ease The wallet-vote you always made, what did it change? What did it change? I may not be an intellectual But at least I can differ what’s right from wrong And now they’re back for another set I think this charades been going on for too long And now they say we have to move away From this house we love and this place we trust They’re shutting down the last factory Taking away what’s left of our hope Desperate minds with nothing to live for Are a dangerous kind you better watch out for Fuck your alliance and the climate you create Look at this mess, you never learn from your mistakes I used to feel some kind of pride Don’t want to live here anymore You’re selling out this country, piece by piece How do you sleep at night and keep your mind at ease The wallet-vote you always made, what did it change What did it change?

When we’re on tour, don’t need no gas Just need space for my ass We put some Guiness in the tank It gives the van an extra spank Stop the van, we’re out of brew! Another twelve pack for me and my crew We’re gonna drink until we die Cause it’s the only time we feel alive Don’t need no food, don’t want no job I’ll always be a punk rock slob! Get drunk or get the fuck out! This band runs on beer Total addict while on tour There’s no stopping now, we need some more Heineken & Northern Gold We love them all, they never get old
6.
Why are we afraid of what’s to come Stuck on a path that we’ve known so long I wanna go for that unknown road See what can be found Moments will pass and memories fade We keep on searching for those yesterdays Never stand still, always moving on Don’t be afraid, just stand fucking strong I refuse to stay the same I will always embrace the change Don’t let your life pass you by If you keep looking back I cant see your smile I once came to a point in life Where I had to choose what its about And I went for that unknown road Now I know what I found And if you think that you’re better than me And if you think that I’m selling out Just remember what I tell you now I always have and always will follow my heart I refuse to stay the same I will always embrace the change Don’t let your life pass you by If you keep looking back I cant see your smile

I can’t forget the pictures of our past Those seemed to be the days When we were so alive, we used to look for better Ways, and now its all a haze Been down this road before And now I need some more I’ll keep on screaming My hearts still beating I’m gonna live to see another day I’ll keep on screaming The sound of your voice takes me to a better place where I can catch my breath I know we’ve grown apart and it kills me everyday But I wont let it be my death Now I’m looking for better ways Heading for brighter days I need something to believe in To hear the sound of hope Give me something I can feel The search for something real I’ll keep on screaming My hearts still beating I’m gonna live to see another day I’ll keep on screaming
8.
Now here I stand in the twilight of my life Picking up the pieces of a youth gone by I didn’t have the time to reflect It went so fast, in the blink of an eye I’m knee-deep in my own self-doubt So afraid that I might drown I cant keep up with the pace Laugh at myself with a frown This war in my head gives me no peace I cant figure it out Now I see my peers chasing their dreams While I’m just petrified Everyone around me seem to be so sure Never afraid to take a leap of faith I wish I could let go of my fears They keep me down while they keep me safe This war in my head gives me no peace I cant figure it out Now I see my peers chasing their dreams While I’m just petrified I’m standing by a red light that never turns green From where I stand, your life looks like a dream Still waiting for that day, when I make ends meet Wishing for the day when I can stand on my own feet This war in my head gives me no peace I cant figure it out Now I see my peers chasing their dreams
9.
I have no faith in the afterlife I don’t believe in god I guess I wont be seeing you when my time has come I just wish that all my memories would remain and stay clear Instead of becoming fuzzier just to finally disappear I have no faith in the afterlife There is no fucking god Live your life the way you think it should be Just don’t tell me how to live mine You get yours in eternity I’ll try to live during life I have no faith in the afterlife I don’t believe in Christ I feel no gratitude towards him for being sacrificed I choose to live my life while I’m still here Instead of living by your rules until the day I disappear I have no faith in the afterlife There is no fucking god Live your life the way you think it should be Just don’t tell me how to live mine You get yours in eternity I’ll try to live during life
10.
No more laughter and no more cries It’s the sound of a world that slowly dies Cut down trees and poisoned lakes Deep inside we all know its too late Still building bombs and making threats A travesty how easy we forget What did we learn from past mistakes Nothing at all and now its all too late We don’t deserve this place It’s the end of the world It’s the end of the world There’s no turning back, no making it right It’s the price we’ll pay, no need to fight It’s the end of the world, and were all gonna die We rape our home and kill all we see The modern man breeds misery We don’t deserve this planet at all The human kind will be this worlds downfall
