BETTER STOP IT NOW
Over the clouds and far away
into the deep blue sky
I find me a better place to stay
leavin ´all this mess behind.
We don´t need no wars and all that hate
better stop it now before`s too late,
better stop it now before`s too late.
Listen to the news we hear today
you won`t believe your ears:
fighting and disease is ev`rywhere,
all these troubles let me freeze.
We dont need no wars and all that hate
better stop it now before`s too late,
better stop it now before`s too late.
No witches brew no magic spell
can bring these problems down.
If we don´t stop, we go to hell,
we better turn around !!
Over the clouds and far away
into the deep blue sky
I find me a better place to stay
leaving all this mess behind.
we can tear it down that wall of hate
better stop it now before´s too late,
better stop it now before´s too late.
CHIEF JUSTICE
(a modern days version of the “Zorro” legend)
I promised them the world before Election Day
but finally they found out who will have to pay.
Once a leading politician, but now it´s plain to see
that my long black car has run all over me.
I sell you any weapon, as long as you can pay.
I´m trading death around the world, get richer day by day.
No matter who the winner is, my war is always won,
but here and now I end my life at the wrong end of a gun.
So all you evil guys beware,
better watch out, better take care,
Chief Justice on the hunt!
Watch his posse on the prowl,
Can you hear them hellhounds howl?
Chief Justice on the hunt!
On the hunt.
As a hedge funds manager gambling was my fate,
many a poor family lost their savings through my trade.
From a 6th floor window I´m falling to the ground,
and while falling I suspect this trip ain´t heaven bound.
So all you evil guys beware,
better watch out, better take care,
Chief Justice on the hunt!
Watch his posse on the prowl,
you can hear them hellhounds howl
Chief Justice on the hunt!
On the hunt.
On the hunt.
On the hunt.
BRAINLESS TIMES
I wrote a letter to the government
“What´s going on here in this poor old land?
Some nuts go crazy, out of control,
innocent people have to pay the toll!”
Wreckless, senseless, useless, brainless times, we see
Wreckless, senseless, useless, brainless times.
Now fear and laughter roam the land,
disillussion´s creeping out of the sand.
We need your help to carry on,
standing in line to stop the devil´s run.
Wreckless, senseless, useless, brainless times,
Wreckless, senseless, useless, brainless times.
So if you hear our call, catch us if we fall,
please take off that burden.
Truth is turned around, world is upside down,
ev´ryday it´s going worse.
I wrote a letter to my congressman
“What are you doing, is there any defence?
Stop these misleaded people out of control,
we all are tumbling in a deep black hole!”
Wreckless, senseless, useless, brainless times,
Wreckless, senseless, useless, brainless times.
So if you hear our call, catch us if we fall,
please take off that burden.
Truth is turned around, world is upside down,
this is only hurtin.
So if you hear our call, catch us if we fall,
please take off that burden.
Truth is turned around, world is upside down,
ev´ryday it´s going worse.
BUSY DOING NOTHING
I´m a European Congressman working at Bruxelles
What I get my money for is kind of hard to tell.
It´s really not my fault that our law´s no good for you,
It´s just that our lobbyists have told us what to do.
Making millions over night is certainly a thrill
by trading goods that don´t exist and maybe never will.
I really just can´t stop it, but I´d love to lend a hand,
But as long all this is legal I make sure it pays my rent.
So I´m busy doing nothing, busy doing nothing
While Standard & Rich make sure you get poor.
I´m busy doing nothing.
No agreements anyhow on things that really matter,
So we deal with peanuts and pretend they´re getting better:
The curve of a banana or the length of a cucumber,
emissions of a light bulb are what might disturb my slumber!
We can´t deny the problems that threaten all mankind,
But still we think the future´s bright and act as if we´re blind.
We meet on summits and discuss, but never get it straight
And once we do we hesitate until it´s far too late.
So I´m busy doing nothing, busy doing nothing
While Coldman & Sax are breaking your backs,
I´m busy doing nothing.
So I´m busy doing nothing, busy doing nothing
While Standard & Rich make sure you stay poor,
While Coldman & Sax grub cash to the max,
While Heman Brothers deceive all others,
and Crédit Suisse turns over in bliss,
I´m busy doing nothing.
TRYING THE GODS
Will the wind have blown us all away?
Will we still be here on judgement day?
Trying the gods is called the game we play,
we can only loose.
Will the time soon dust off all away?
The clock is ticking day by day
Trying the gods is called the game we play,
we will loose for sure.
Taming mother nature, fracking mother earth,
we sacrifice our future - tell me what it´s worth.
We cause the mighties anger, we´re on the rim of hell.
Reflect and think it over is all, that i can tell.
Will the wind have blown us all away?
Will we still be here on judgement day?
Trying the gods is called the game we play,
we can only loose.
We always play with fire poisoning land and sea,
we never do admire the beauty that we see.
Trying the gods of nature it makes no sense at all.
Reflect and think it over, listen to their call.
Will the wind have blown us all away?
Will we still be here on judgement day?
Trying the gods is called the game we play,
we can only loose.
DEBORAH
Dressed up in white she walks down to the lakeside
Between dusk and night
Lost in her thoughts she throws stones in the water
Like pieces of life
Then she puts stone after stone in her pockets
and she cracks a smile
Rising her arms to a mysterious goddess
Sighin' "so long" and waving good bye
Oh my Deborah, what's on your mind
Oh my Deborah, life's not unkind
Oh Deborah, oh Deborah, oh Deborah,
You lonely child
Deep breathing the night air her blood's running
colder
The die is cast
No more forces and no more depressions
She'll break free at last
And while her body drowns deep in the water
A sweet angel takes her hand
Shows her all the secrets of dying
Leading her to another land
Oh my Deborah, what's in your mind
Oh my Deborah, life's not unkind
Oh Deborah, oh Deborah, oh Deborah,
You silly child
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
Tell me what you see,
I guess I need advice.
how to keep in track,
thrown out of paradise
Tell me what to do,
I must fight my fears.
Guess this world is through
drowned in a sea of tears.
We can´t go on like we did before
loosing direction more and more.
What we need is solid ground
stop my friend we´re upside down....
Tell me how you feel
at the gates of dawn.
Ev`rything´s unreal,
ev`ryone „ forlorn“
Tell me what to do,
I must fight my fears.
Guess this world is trough
drowned in a sea of tears
We can´t go on like we did before....
DIZZY HEIGHTS
A voice, dark and hollow, it said: “come with me”
No choice, I had to follow on wings of mystery.
I saw blinded angels as I travelled by
I faced mysterious shadows waving me good bye.
How I wished you were by my side
close to me up in those dizzy heights
There were saints and sinners standing all in line
Equal in vanished beauty at the end of time
“Don't look back in anger” the voice said to me
Watch out this man in danger - I knew that man was me.
How I wished you were by my side
close to me up in those dizzy heights
How I wished you were by my side
close to me up in those dizzy heights
How I wished you were by my side
close to me up in those dizzy heights

DOWNLOAD MESSIAH
“Sacrifice a goat at the full moon light
Or rain will stay out for years!”
Is a waste of time and goats
And won´t cause heaven´s tears.
Sacrificing goats at the full moon light
Didn´t help a lot since Old Abe
Prayers are useless though faith is strong
There´s no one to hear them around.
There´s no guiding light, no guardian angel,
We´re bound to die from the day we were born.
No download messiah, no five & dime prophet
will come down to save any soul.
No Jahwe, no Allah did anything
to save the world from the mess it is in.
If they had the power to set it all straight
They´d better do it now and don´t let us wait
So don´t tell me your truth unless you wanna hear
mine.
No Jahwe, no Allah did anything…
No instant karma, no cheap salvation
We will return to the dust we came from.
So we might fall into deep desperation
Or else live our lifes as we want.
There´s no guiding light…
JIMI
It was a Friday night in early sixty-nine
and when the day was gone ev´rybody was feeling fine.
Yeah, we were all so keen for the star that we would see -
it was the night when we saw Jimi,
it was the night when we saw Jimi.
Experience on stage, the wizard on the run,
the audience went wild we had a lot of fun.
High fly, right time, it was the place to be:
it was the night when we saw Jimi,
it was the night when we saw Jimi.
Just one year later Jimi sadly died,
we all remember that memorable night.
The rest is history we never will forget,
this fine experience we all together shared
we do appreciate the magic we could see -
it was the night when we saw Jimi,
it was the night when we saw Jimi.
