Crazy Silence
04:41
|
|||
Maybe you are little
Maybe not brave
Maybe if you raise your hands
You’ll be tall again
Maybe you work
Or maybe you gain
You know that in the end
The numbers will say
And it’s this crazy silence
That we’ re livin’ in
That we’ re livin’ in
Maybe it’s a fairytale
To sleep at night
And then you take a pill
And you wake up alive
It is a machine
Built long time ago
And it’s goal is damage control
And it’s this crazy silence
That we’ re livin’ in
That we’ re livin’ in
It’ s the frustration that lies within
Maybe it’s your neighbour
That shouted at night
Or is the old man who died in the fire
Maybe it’s a homeless child
Cried out for your help
Or is that woman who was rapped till the death
And it’s this crazy silence
That we’ re livin’in
That we’ re livin’in
It’ s the frustration that lies within
Maybe it’s the young man
Beaten by the cops
Or maybe it’ s easy to stare and not react
Maybe it’s the immigrants
In the border lines
Or maybe the big brother is forcing your hand
And it’s this crazy silence
That we’ re livin' in
That we’ re livin’ in
It’ s the frustration that lies within
And it’s this crazy silence
That we’ re livin' in
That we’ re livin’ in
It’ s the frustration that lies within
Maybe it’s a mountain
Maybe just a hill
Only if you walk you will find out yourself
Maybe it’s a crossroad
Maybe just a sign
Or maybe you’ve reached the end of the line
And it’s this crazy silence
That we’ re livin’ in
That we’ re livin’ in
It’ s the frustration that lies within
It’ s the frustration that lies within

Business Man Way
04:40
|
|||
Well i’m not your little dog
Obey in what you say
I’ve heard it all before
It is the business man way
It is the lack of respect
That really pisses me off
It is the business man way
To profit from us all
And when the leaves of this tree
Fall down i’ll be gone
You know you work night and day
And you don’t have a say
It is the business man way
Wait until you get paid
I know you stay awake at night
Thinkin’ what you’ve done
It is the business man way
To keep you under his thumb
And when the leaves of this tree
Fall down i’ll be gone
i’ll be gone
It seems you’re small and his big
Oh my god i cannot breath
It is the business man way
To break you down when you dream
You’re like a rat in the trash
Searchin’ the cheese of hope
It is the business man way
Maintain your will in a jar
And when the leaves of this tree
Fall down i’ll be gone
And when the leaves of this tree
Fall down i’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone..

The Machine
04:21
|
|||
I’m hungry and i have no home
My kids have no place to grow
And i might get, i might get sick and die
Is it the virus that will get me sick
Or is this system, that we all grew in
And i might get, i might get sick and die
And it is this machine
That destroys your life
I’m a doctor and i have no mask
I’m a fighter in the front line
And i might get, i might get sick and die
I’m your neighbour and i have to go to work
I need the money or else i will starve
And i might get, i might get sick and die
And it is this machine
That destroys our lives
I’m a rich man and i stay home
I have no worries i can pay it all
And i might get, i might get sick and die
I’m a president, a religious man
Now it’s my chance to destroy the weak
And i might get, i might get sick and die
And it is this machine
That destroys our lives
I live in a ghetto, in a refugee camp
Nobody cares if i survive
And i might get, i might get sick and die
I’m an old man and i have a disease
Nobody gives a shit if i live
And i might get, i might get sick and die
And it is this machine
That destroys our lives
And it is this machine
That destroys our lives
And it is this machine
That destroys our lives

It’s time again for you
To divide the earth
With blood and money
And killing the innocent
When your business plan is failing
You down South
You know where
To Chile to Argentina to Bolivia
But people there they are free birds
They are free birds
Yeah they are free birds
They are free birds
A bag full of dollars goes from man to man
Once there was Pinochet
Now there’s another scum
He wants to burn down the Amazon
And vanish the native tribes
But short memory is not their kind
But people there they are free birds
They are free birds
Yeah they are free birds
They are free birds
Their grandfather told them
Long time ago
That this bullet is going to
Wake them all up
And the remembered
That they are free birds
They are free birds
Yeah they are free birds
They are free birds
Washington says that people need their help
But oil and animals and nature
Have money as well
Shoot at the children and anyone that moves
Nobody cares if their telling the truth
But we know that we are free birds
We are free birds
Yeah we are free birds
We are free birds
We are free birds
We are free birds

This is the West
04:56
|
|||
This is the West, the liberal land
These are the countries
That thrive in the mud
They got blood in their souls
And money in their hands
They built this castle
With dirt and pain
And then the crisis came in 2008
They got a bump in their texture
A knife in their heart
We are the lost children
The expendable kind
We lost our jobs
Our pride and ourselves
But it’s alright
Cause the banks are not dead
We got low expectations
On this lonesome road
Save the markets or
Save your souls
Destruction follows where money flows
There is no promise land
No future and no light
We are the lost children
The expendable kind
An endless crisis
The circle of life
This is a nation of rats in disguise
We are a doomed generation
In a desert of hope
This is the West
A king without a throne
A rotten system
A big dark hole
We are the bricks of this wall
That separates the world
We are the lost children
The expendable souls
We are the leaves of this tree
And the roof is on fire
We are the lost children
The expendable kind
We are the lost children
The expendable kind

Call It A Day
04:03
|
|||
What is done is done
No time for anything more
It was day when you started
And now the night is long
I know you’ re tired and alone
In this place that you call home
Ease your mind and
Call it a day
You struggled in every step
Life never treated you well
Your hands are tight the debt is huge
But it’s not time for you to loose
I know you’ re tired and alone
In this place that you call home
Ease your mind and
Call it a day
The dice are rolled once again
Maybe now it is your turn
Go and shout about what’s right
Don’t stop until you see the light
I know you’ re tired and alone
In this place that you call home
Ease your mind and
Call it a day
Call it a day
Call it a day

Prison for Human Souls
04:46
|
|||
When life doesn’t mean anything
Human rights are history
Raise your guns
When you don’t agree
Pure madness that’s what it is
There is no free man in this land
There is no free man in this land
When right is now wrong
What was just doesn’t apply anymore
Raise your hands
when you want to kill
I wonder do we have democracy
There is no free man in this land
There is no free man in this land
Build a prison for human souls
That’s the deal
We made with our lords
Raise your glass
When you wanna drink some blood
There is no free man in this land
There is no free man in this land
Send the pigs to devour it all
Disembark and ready to roll
Raise your shields to say hello
Are they hungry yet we don’t know
There is no free man in this land
There is no free man in this land
Well the crows gathered last night
To celebrate the news of the fight
Raise your pen when you want to lie
We were blind but we’ve seen the light
There is no free man in this land
Build a prison for human souls
That’s the deal that
We made with our lords
Raise your glass
When you wanna drink some blood
There is no free man in this land
Build a prison for human souls
That’s the deal that
We made with our lords
Raise your glass
When you wanna drink some blood
There is no free man in this land
This is the prison for human souls
This is the prison for human souls

Common people in our times
Trapped in a cage and
They can’t get out
And the sun is not shining today
When they pray and
They search for God
But nothing happens anyhow
And the sun is not shining today
If you don’t rise
You’ll never break this chain
My whole life was erased
That summer night
When those flames
Were burning my wife
And the sun is not shining today
My only child
Was drowned In the dust
And then a cloud came
And covered him up
And the sun is not shining today
If you don’t rise
You’ll never break this chain
A whole town is grieving their dead
The blame is huge
But who’s there to care
And the sun is not shining today
If you don’t rise
You’ll never break this chain
If you don’t rise
You’ll never break this chain
If you don’t rise
You’ll never break this chain

Jolly Ride
03:42
|
|||
I lost my money
When i got robbed yesterday
I was returning home from working very very late
The bus i’m takin’ is
Full of drugs n’ crime
And it’s not a good idea
To travel by night
No salary in my pocket
And i know how it’ s going to be
I hope the man that robbed me
Lives better than me
Enjoy the jolly ride
On a crowded bus to hell
Enjoy the jolly ride
Oh god help me to get out of there
Enjoy the jolly ride
And i take this bus
Everyday to go to work
But i guess it’s better than gettin’
Bitten by a dog
I return home
To my lover my best friend
And he says honey be patient
We have to pay the rent
I think i’ m going to quit my job
Cause i don’t like it really much
But every time i close my eyes
The money is not enough
Enjoy the jolly ride
On a crowded bus to hell
Enjoy the jolly ride
Oh god help me to get out of there
Enjoy the jolly ride
Enjoy the jolly ride
On a crowded bus to hell
Enjoy the jolly ride
Oh god help me to get out of there
Enjoy the jolly ride
So let me tell you brothers n’ sisters
Finally i got it right
I turned the plug and everything is going fine
When i’ m getting on this bus
I just sit down and smile
I’ m looking outside the window
I’m having a good time
Enjoy the jolly ride
On a crowded bus to hell
Enjoy the jolly ride
Oh god help me to get out of there
Enjoy the jolly ride
On a crowded bus to hell
Enjoy the jolly ride
Oh god help me to get out of there
Enjoy the jolly ride

Mr. P
04:28
|
|||
When he was a little child
His mama said beware
You need a job, a house and
A woman to give you kids
And he’s busted
A god blessed boy
Later on when he grew
He was 30 years old
He was the biggest snitch
Mankind ever saw
And he’s busted
A god blessed boy
You know Mr. P
Is the nation’s pride and joy
Mr. P is a thirsty man for
Money power and fame
He is the kind of man
That will kill you when you sleep
And he’s busted
A god blessed boy
You know Mr. P
Is the nation’s pride and joy
Mr.P is a hateful man
Sad and alone
Nobody wants him
Not even his dog
And he’s busted
A god blessed boy
You know Mr. P
Is the nation’s pride and joy
He’s gonna tell your name
He’s gonna take your house
And then he’s gonna sell it to
The highest bidder in town
And he’s busted
A god blessed boy
You know Mr. P
Is the nation’s pride and joy
You know Mr. P
Is the nation’s pride and joy
You know Mr. P
Is the nation’s pride and joy

Dig Down Deep
02:53
|
|||
Are you a woman
Are you a man
We’ re both trapped inside this can
Are you rich
A big boss man
You’ d better dig down deep in the mud
I’m gonna dig down deep in this hole
I’ll put my face inside the mud
I‘m gonna dig down deep in this hole
And i will rise up again when i’ m strong
Are you religious
A right wing soul
You’ d better get back in your hole
Are you a left wing
A union man
Where is the power that you once had
I’m gonna dig down deep in this hole
I’ll put my face inside the mud
I‘m gonna dig down deep in this hole
And i will rise up again when i’ m strong
Are you a priest
A god blessed man
Oh! Heads up you’re gonna burn in hell
Are you a deceiver
A fake human being
You’d better rot inside your filth
I’m gonna dig down deep in this hole
I’ll put my face inside the mud
I‘m gonna dig down deep in this hole
And i will rise up again when i’ m strong
Are you tired
Are you bored
This is your blood
They‘re drinking all day long
Are you a believer
Of this dream
I’m sorry man you ain’t gonna succeed
I’m gonna dig down deep in this hole
I’ll put my face inside the mud
I‘m gonna dig down deep in this hole
And i will rise up again when i’ m strong

Some people were born
Without anything at all
Some other people enjoy
A life that’ s not their own
I had a life i had a home
I had family and friends
But i lost it all when a bomb
Exploded on my head
Give me water
Give me fire
So i won’t die alone
All of my children were drowned in the water
Send me the key and let me go
Maybe i’m from the Middle East
Or maybe i’m from deep South
I’m black, i’m red
I’m yellow and i’m white
And i’ m running away
From misery
From war and despair
I have an empty soul
I’m in sorrow
Cause my children are dead
Give me water
Give me fire
So i won’t die alone
All of my children were drowned in the water
Send me the key and let me go
Maybe i am from those people
Who are doomed
Or powerful men decide
What will happen to you
I had a life, i had a home
I had everything i guess
But i lost it all
When the war begun
And now i’ m in despair
Give me water
Give me fire
So i won’t die alone
All of my children were drowned in the water
Send me the key and let me go
Give me water
Give me fire
So i won’t die alone
All of my children were drowned in the water
Send me the key and let me go
