// hello / welcome to our world / it will blow your mind away / so enjoy the horrorshow / oil's floating out / out for something new, out for something new / while we want more / out for something new, out for something new / we made fun of those who said we're running out / out of time to save our precious planet / now we're irritated, got a real big shock / where is the clear water we used to swim in once / now we're asking ourselves what went wrong / should we care 'bout what we do / but hey we live for today / live for today / need our time to watch tv / live for today / we see queen mum and scream hooray / and scream hooray / just sit back and forget the pain / live for today / hey hey hey hey / switch on your i phone / hey hey hey hey / gimme more gimme more gimme more / hey hey hey hey / that media overkill / hey hey hey hey / too much is not enough / should we stay forever how we used to be / can't we change the way we act / but hey we live for today / live for today / need our time to watch tv / live for today / we see queen mum and scream hooray / and scream hooray / just sit back and forget the pain / and who should care about what we can't change now / so just let it go / forget the bad news and try to help to raise / the goddamn gdp //

// do you know that ken / who shot himself down at the skaterpark / just put a gun into his mouth and pulled the trigger down / and pulled the trigger down / i don’t know, i don’t know, i don’t know why / i don’t know, i don’t know, it makes no sense at all / i don’t know, i don’t know, i don’t know why / i don’t know, i don’t know, and i don’t really care / cause i’ve got my own bunch of problems / like my drunk-ass dad / he always tries to bring me down / down, down, down, down, down / but he beats me not that hard / and he really loves me / when he’s coming to my room late at night / i don’t know, i don’t know, i don’t know why / i don’t know, i don’t know, it makes no sense at all / i don’t know, i don’t know, i don’t know why / i don’t know, i don’t know, and i don’t really care / behind white palisades old shawn gave his girlfriend’s mom a lick / and tate killed his grannies to feel some happiness / why does peaches look so low, her daddy loves her so / why doesn’t anybody care / this is suburban paradise, this is suburban paradise / it looks so fine / this is suburban paradise, this is suburban paradise / it feels like hell //

Tabula Rasa 03:24
// come, take my hand / don't halt, we're out for trouble / take the stairs up to the rooftop / down there lies the city we once built / look at the streets / they're cramped with dirt and rubble / brownfield sites of our society / the proof of our guilt / so much went wrong / so many times we lost our way / for far too long / we're waiting for a better day / you've got the matches / i'll bring the kerosine / tonight we'll burn this city down / till nothing remains / leave all our vices right behind / don't need 'em no more / and when the rain begins to fall / the flood will wash away all the smoldering ruins / tonight we'll burn this city down / and nothing remains / the match hits ground / and fast the fire's spreading / hungry flames enlight the pavement / reflected by the tears in your eyes / i'll take your hands / they're burned and need some vetting / scars will stay as a reminder / we've paid the price / perverted dreams / through pink glasses they're shining bright / but eyed up / somehow it all won't fit in right / let's pull the trigger / we'll start from scratch again / tonight we'll burn this city down / till nothing remains / leave all our vices right behind / don't need 'em no more / and when the rain begins to fall / the flood will wash away all the smoldering ruins / tonight we'll burn this city down / and nothing remains / and when the rain will stop to fall / there will be no regrets looking back / we'll head for a brand new day //

// we are the good guys / help us rising / we come from god / so never question / the words we say to you are the only truth at all / we keep on preaching, so you keep on praying / you never leave the holy path / keep on praising / it takes the pain away / and if you doubt it / burn / so be a good boy / if you're a sinner / then pay to god / your indulgence / the words we say to you are the only truth at all / we keep on preaching, so you keep on praying / you never leave the holy path / keep on praising / it takes the pain away / and if you doubt it / burn / keep on praising / be our devotee / and if you doubt us / die / die, die, die, die, die //

// this times are getting worse / it causes tongues to wag / these times are foundering / why ain't all hands on deck / another desperate cry echoes through the alleyway / people shake their heads, they close their doors, they walk away / where have all the heroes gone / secure your sitting in your home / don't care about that this girl dies alone / with her hand held out for a straw of hope / she dies alone, she dies alone / next time it could be you to pray for helping hands / next time it would be you to curse those ignorants / so where's the one / where's the one that saves the world tonight / who is brave enough to show a heart that cares / you'll be the one / be the one who makes the difference / when all hope seems lost will you be there / another shot breaks through the silence of a dawning day / people shake their heads, they close their eyes, they look away / where have all the heroes gone / still pleading 'bout the world's downfall / don't you see this mom cries in vain / with her dying child in her loving arms / she cries in vain, she cries in vain / next time it could be you to pray for helping hands / next time it would be you to curse those ignorants / so where's the one / where's the one that saves the world tonight / who is brave enough to show a heart that cares / you'll be the one / be the one who makes the difference / when all hope seems lost will you be there / so now it's time for us to show / the time is up / that our hearts are made of gold / have heart / the helpless cries won't be unheard / so now it's time for you and me / the time is up / to finally raise our hearts and see / have heart / when all hope is lost will you be there / so where's the one //

// place your bets / so much to win, don't care about the loss / we gain / and other ones will have to pay the bills / we owe / all of our lifestyle to all the skulls piled up / it's just a second and billions transferred / it's just a second and all hope is dashed / some digits changing on a panel far away / it can ruin lives / it can crush a state / it will twist our world / do you find sleep when you lay down tonight / does the money tell your conscience everything's alright / this ain't no game at all, your guilt grows tall, one day you will fall / and when nobody's there, who's taking care, do you think that is fair / rien ne va plus / let's save a million or two / less safety will also do / time is money, no risk, no gain / tell me, what is a life worth? / and now there's fire, you hear people cry / deep water horizion's workers they die / all of your ignorance is set ablaze at once / when your children ask, will you tell 'em what you've done today / do you find sleep when you lay down tonight / does the money tell your conscience everything's alright / this ain't no game at all, your guilt grows tall, one day you will fall / and when nobody's there, who's taking care, do you think that is fair / rien ne va plus //
