| Death Row | |
|
Iım dead meat - you took away my rights
To be a part of your society
A life-time in prison wouldnıt justify
You wanna blow away a sucker -
so I have to die
Iım still waiting for the final call
I wanna meet my maker -
Iım ready to go
Kill me - kill me - kill me -
please, kill me
Give me a reason why youıre gonna
let me wait
Some kind of punishment before
you terminate
Youıre taking my life for your
peace of mind
So letıs go - start the show
Death row - Iım ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - Iım ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go - death row
Iım a dead man walking so get
outta my face
Rather die like a man than rotting
this way
I hate you and you hate me
You can come and kiss my dignity
Youıre taking my life for your
peace of mind
So letıs go - start the show
Death row - Iım ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - Iım ready to go - death row
Iım ready to go - death row - death row
Your justice is not mine
You punish a crime with another crime
If you need to kill me for your
peace of mind
Then letıs go - start the show
Death row - Iım ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - Iım ready to go - death row
Iım ready to go - death row - death row
Death row - open up cause here I come
Death row - knock, knock, knocking
Iım no heroıs son
Death row - thereıs no tears that
you can sell
Death row - paid my ticket through
the gates of hell
Death row - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - death row

| Sodom & Gomorra | |
|
Ever since the stone-age
Manıs been on the hunt
We were born to kill
Fighting for survival
All in self-defence
It was do or die
Now weıre living in jungles
The concrete age
A maximum overdose of pleasure and
pain
Self-inflicted - life corrupting
Antisocial - controversial - living
in sin
Sodom and Gomorra
Let me tell you what I see
Sodom and Gomorra
Got not law and order
Ruled by anarchy
Itıs here to stay
Chaos in the classroom
Kids are killing kids
Getting outta hand
Mothers and fathers - the sickening
ones
Raping the children
At the end of a gun
Self-inflicted - life corrupting
Antisocial - controversial -
living in sin
Sodom and Gomorra
Let me tell you what I see
Sodom and Gomorra
Weıre in a burning hell for all eternity
Sodom and Gomorra
You mustnıt look back
To Sodom and Gomorra
Donıt you look back -
to the essence of evil
This universe of hatred
Aggression is the force
Heading for oblivion
Weıre on collision-course
Evolutionıs over
The devil has prevailed
Heaven screams for vengeance
This is judgement day
Self-inflicted - life corrupting
Antisocial - controversial -
living in sin
Sodom and Gomorra
Let me tell you what I see
Sodom and Gomorra
Forever ruled by anarchy
Sodom and Gomorra
Forever damned to purgatory
Sodom and Gomorra

| The Beast Inside | |
|
My mind is razor-sharp
And Iım wild-cat-mean
Iıd like to shred your face
A danger to you
When I feel the urge
Deep down inside
I lose my human touch
Iım like a killing machine
I want to resist - but I canıt hold
it back
The beast is unleashed - itıs got
to attack
Again and again the force is too
strong
Itıs breaching the chains
Iıve got the beast inside
Donıt you trust in me
Iıve got the beast inside
Craving a victim - itıs telling me
to kill
I look through evil eyes
Prowling in the streets
In the dead of night
Iım a man on the hunt
I know my soul is under siege
Canıt somebody stop me now
cause Iım losing control
Iıve got the beast inside
Donıt you trust in me
I know it must have been
the beast inside
Itıs driving me to kill
Itıs gotta be the beast - the beast
- the beast
The beast - the beast - the beast
- deep down inside
But when the deed is done
And the pain is gone
I feel renewed within
Until the voices return
The beast - the beast - the beast
The beast - the beast - the beast
My mind is razor-sharp
And Iım wild-cat-mean
Iıd like to shred your face
Iıve told you before
When I feel the urge
Deep down inside
I lose my human touch
Iım just a killing machine
I want to resist -
but I canıt hold it back
The beast is unleashed -
itıs got to attack
Again and again the force is too strong
Itıs breaching the chains
Itıs gotta be the beast inside
Never ever trust in me
I know there is a beast inside
Inside in all of us
I feel Iıve got the beast inside
Iım screaming for help from this
monster within
The beast inside - take a look in
the mirror - itıs staring at you
Even at you - the beast inside

| Dead On ! | |
|
Zooming through the universe -
on collision course
A meteor from outta space -
gonna smash the earth
Head down to the trenches -
to watch the bloody war
Nothingıs gonna stop -
the metal dinosaurs
Runaway train lost control -
a thousand tons of steel
Overheated engines - the screaming
of the wheels
A fighter in a boxing ring -
takes the final blow
Opponentıs on the canvas -
lost by t.k.o.
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
From Belfast to Jerusalem -
itıs the living hell
Tuzla to Afghanistan -
fighting tooth and nail
Death is irreversible -
no matter what we try
Life is not recyclable -
we are born to die
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
He was a teen spirit idol -
loaded up his veins
He couldnıt stand the pressure -
so he terminates his brains
A renegade Red Indian -
they called Geronimo
Cracked the white manıs head -
like the raging buffalo
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
Dead on - in a head-on collision
Dead on - like the hammer and the nail
Dead on ...

How about a mega-store
Full of guns to start a war
Weıre selling toys for fatal games
Weıll take the credit not the blame
When they shoot the neighbours
Shoot the daughters
Shoot the sisters
Shoot the muthaıs
Itıs a billion dollar industry
All in the same name of liberty
Guns rı us
Guns rı us - big toys buy big toys at
Guns rı us
Guns rı us
Living out the fantasy
Buy a dozen - get one free
Radar-guided - laser speed
Devastation guaranteed
Then they shoot the neighbours
Shoot the daughters
Shoot the brothers
Shoot the dog
Itıs a billion dollar industry
A constitutional guarantee
Guns rı us
Guns rı us - big toys buy big toys at
Guns rı us - get a free magazine
with your M-16
Guns rı us - itıs a one-day-sale
Gunned down int he neighbourhood
In the same of brotherhood
Black or white ainıt worth a dime
Cut em down in zero time
Itıs shoot to kill - they shoot to kill
Itıs a human thrill just to shoot to
kill
Then they shoot the neighbours
Shoot the daughters
Shoot the sisters
Shoot the muthaıs
Itıs a billion dollar industry
All in the name of liberty
Guns rı us
Guns rı us - a final mega-blow-
out-sale at
Guns rı us - get your armour-
piercing son of a bitch at
Guns rı us - we accept your cash
or credit cards

| Like A Loaded Gun | |
|
Iım victimized and tantalized
Brutalized and chained
Theyıll devastate - intoxicate
Theyıre driving me insane - forever
They regulate - investigate
Complicate my life
Everyday insanity
Thereıs nothing going right -
I mean forget it
Iıve been there before
Canıt take it no more
Thatıs why Iım like a loaded gun
A man with a mission
Like a loaded gun
Iım human ammunition
They mutilate and penetrate
They masturbate my brains
When all I need for sanity
Is love to ease my pain
Iım tortured, sick and tired
Iım that weapon to be fired
Overloaded - unexploded
Donıt you make me cross the final
line
Iıve been there before
I canıt take it no more
Thatıs why Iım like a loaded gun
Iım a man with a mission
Like a loaded gun
You can pull my trigger
Just like a loaded gun
On a social collision
See my eyes - I mesmerize
Read my lips - itıs time to cut the crap
Iıve been there before
I canıt take it no more
Thatıs why Iım like a loaded gun
A man with a mission
Like a loaded gun
Iım human ammunition
Like a loaded gun
On a social collision
Like a loaded gun
Iım ready to explode -
like a loaded gun

| What Else | |
|
Heroes - keep dying
Nations - dividing
Principles - theyıre gone
Itıs war
Wallstreet - buy in politics
Jesus - up for sale
Do anything - for money
Iım a whore
What else - whatıs in it for me
What else
What else - whatıs in it for me
What else
Deadlines - headlines
Make me - the biggest star
I donıt need personality
cause itıs war
Iım greedy - Iım deadly
Donıt give a fuck anymore
Anything for money
Iım a whore
What else
- whatıs in it for me
What else
What else
- whatıs in it for me
What else
What else
- whatıs in it for me
What else
What else
- whatıs in it for me

| Stone Evil | |
|
They terrorize and
tyrannize democracies
Their narrow minds still nothing
learned from history
The seeds of hate acquired from
their ancestry
Spreading like a cancer in societies
Theyıve got the poison inside
Rivers of pesticide
Skin-headed minions -
theyıre deaf, dumb and blind
Machind-like in body - robotic in mind
Stone evil - inherited sin
Stone evil - infected from within
They canıt leave it -
they canıt break the spell
Under orders to obey
It was meant to last a thousand years
It took the world into dismay
Stone evil - stone evil
If youıre gonna throw the torch at us
Donıt expect to not get burned
Itıs time to stand - and fight the right
This is the lesson we have learned
Theyıre marching to a different
beat and glorify
The darkest times when innocent
were crucified
They paralize and sterilize the
massesı minds
They desecrate manıs dignity -
desensitize
Theyıve got the poison inside
Rivers of pesticide
Skin-headed minions -
theyıre deaf, dumb and blind
Machine-like in body -
robotic in mind - evil
Stone evil - inherited sin
Stone evil - infected from within
Stone evil - inherited sin
Stone evil

| Bad Habits Die Hard | |
|
One step forward - two steps back
Living on the edge -
itıs as simple as that
Iım no Mr. Lucky - Iıve never been close
Iım higher than some -
but Iım lower than most
Just when you thought that
youıd got it made
The bitch draws blood again
You sow as you reap - the same mistakes
Buddy rings the bell - begin the same
Bad habits - bad habits die hard
Bad habits - bad habits die hard
Iım stuck in a rut -
but Iım burning inside
I am what I am - just a low-down bum
Always end up in trouble -
just trying to be good
But with tumbling dice -
the sixes will come
Bad habits - bad habits die hard
I know I got a lot of bad habits
- bad habits die hard
I bet you got em too
One step forward - two steps back
I get caught in the middle -
nailed to the rack
Got a load of bad habits -
corrupted within
Iım a freak of nature -
full of vices and sins
Just when you thought that youıd
got it made
The bitch draws blood again
You sow as you reap -
the same mistakes
Buddy rings the bell - begin the game
Bad habits - bad habits die hard
Bad habits - bad habits die hard
I know I got a lot of bad habits
- bad habits die hard
Everybodyıs got bad habits -
bad habits die hard

| Prejudice | |
|
We grow and fertilize the semen of hate
Ignoring our ignorance - daring our fate
Predictions were made -
generations were lost
While the seed is growing day by
day in front of us
We buried tolerance and our respect
Became a breeding ground for
social dismay
Whatever happened to the
love-generation
With black and white hand in hand
side by side
So preacher donıt you preach
Hey teacher donıt you teach
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ainıt losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ainıt losing my faith
If we could manage just to get along
Instead of blaming each other for
whatıs going wrong
Education is the secret -
the futureıs in our hands
Burn the fields of hate and
believe again
Teacher donıt you teach
Preacher donıt you preach
So teacher donıt you teach me
Hey preacher donıt you preach
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ainıt losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ainıt losing my faith
Prejudice - prejudice
Judging one another by the
colour of skin
Carefully covering our feelings within
We solve our problems with a kick
in the face
Weıre living in a world judged by
colour and race
So preacher donıt you preach
Hey teacher donıt you teach me
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ainıt losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate
No more prejudice -
I ainıt losing my faith
Prejudice - stop the hate - prejudice
Prejudice - stop the hate - prejudice

| Bad Religion | |
|
As long as I remember -
I was left all by myself
When trouble crossed my way
I stood alone
My old man hit the bottle -
my mom was running scared
The old forgotten prayers turned
to stone
Iım searching for identity -
I donıt show who I am
The past has cast a shadow over me
Like a bad religion -
the only one I know
I never had no shelter - never had
a place to go
A bad religion - my life
is make-believe
Bad religion - Iım begginı for relief
I tried to break the circle - to
break the vicious spell
But the past is always heavy
on my mind
Iım dancing with the devil -
a dangerous romance
A daring way to leave it all behind
Iım searching for identity -
I donıt know who I am
The past has cast a shadow over me
Like a bad religion -
the only one I know
I never had no shelter
never had a place to go
A bad religion - my life
is make-believe
Bad religion
I need someone to talk to -
someone to understand
I need a friend to lend a helping hand
Iım gonna pull myself together -
shed this battered skin
Iım ready for the challenge -
this loserıs out to win
Like a bad religion -
the only one I know
I never had no shelter -
never had a place to go
A bad religion - my life
is make-believe
Bad religion - Iım begginı for
relief - bad religion

| Generation Clash Ii | |
|
Warnings surround you
That life ainıt long
Same old stories
Youıve heard em before
They tell you to listen
To be like theyıve been
You carry a burden
Whatever you do
They never approve of
The things that you do
Revolution
In the heart of your home
But what do they do
To comfort you
At times when you donıt feel alright
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go
Bitching forever
For wasting time
You better not worry
Youıre doing alright
They tell you to listen
To be like theyıve been
But what do they do
To comfort you
At times when you donıt feel alright
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go
Generation Clash -
kiss those times goodbye
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go
Generation Clash -
kiss those times goodbye -
the times are gone for good
Generation Clash - you got
the guts to go
Generation Clash - oh itıs the
generation Clash
Generation Clash - nothing ventured
nothing gained - so get alive
Generation Clash ...

| The Writing On The Wall | |
|
A thousand years from now on
The flame of lifeıs gone out
The earth - a frozen wasteland
No living trace - no sounds
The world did die in anguish
The ashes turned tu dust
Fire and ice - blackness of night
Manıs evolution has lost
Donıt tell me that we didnıt know
And that we havenıt been told
The final S.O.S. we all ignored
Weıve seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
The science of the madman
Was getting out of control
For every creature comfort
There is a heavy toll
We turned on mother nature
Stabbed her deep in the back
We ripped out her lungs - poisoned
her veins
Internal acid attack
Donıt tell me that we didnıt know
And that weıve never been told
The final S.O.S. we all ignored
Weıve seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
Seen the writing on the wall
Iım just painting a picture
Of how it could be
But timeıs running out - the lockıs
ticking down
Youıre not blind - canıt you see
Donıt tell me that we still donıt
know
And that weıre not being told
The final S.O.S. we shouldnıt ignore
Just read the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
Read the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
