1. Evolution
As i opened my eyes
i was blind
everything was a sound
and i had to find my
way by feeling it with
my hands
one day i could stand the
next day i could walk
one day i could scream
the next day i could talk
from that day on i knew
i wasn't dead anymore
One day i could see
what was in front of me
back then i knew,
how it felt to be free
one day i began to change
the things around me
from that day on i knew
what was good for me
That was when i realized
i was the ruler of this
world
I ruled this world for
a thousand years
i marched through seas
of blood and tears
one day i dropped
the deadly stone
and threw myself
from my own throne
A million years went
on by then
i wake up now
i'm blind again
2. Halo
You preach me tolerance
you preach my peace
to love all creatures
plants and trees
You ordered crusades
to the east
you burned the witches
call yourselves priests
heretics were killed
your attitude is shit
you called it religion
i call it murder that's it
Irritating light
halo on your head
blinds the living
burns the dead
"Holdout your hands
donate" you say
"to save your souls
for it's god's way"
for all you preachers
here's what i say
it's all for money
it's not god's way
I pray to god
i still believe
but not in your ways
you cause misgrief
Irritating halo
blackening it shines
intolerance and greed
that's what it defines
Money is your god
in money you will rot
money for your souls
money controls
3. Looking at you
I'm looking at you
oh yes i do,
you're looking at me
but that's not what it
seems to be
your empty eyes are
staring right through me
can't you see i'm looking
at you, oh yes i do
your eyes used to shine
now their darkness blinds
me
their emptyness it chills
me
like i was not there your
empty eyes are staring
through me
drown me in your apathy
you're not what you used
to be
drown m in your apathy
for all eternity you will
be me
4. Conviction
He who joyfully marches to
music in rank and file
has already earned
my contempt
he has been given a large
brain by mistake
since for him the spinal
cord would fully suffice
This disgrace to
civilisation should be
done away with at once
Heroism at command
senseless brutality
deplorable
love-of-country stance
how violently i hate
all this
how dispicable and
ignoble war is
i would rather be torn
to shreds than be part
of so base an action
It is my conviction
that killing under the
cloak of war is nothing
but an act of murder
5. Sex & Crime
Going to the newsstand
every morning
buying a copy of
sensational press
reports of crime is
everything
nothing about political
mess
Crime and sex and sex
and sex and crime
press is present everytime
On page three you see
a pin-up girl
naked objects are used as
decoys
murderer runs amock
"how sensational"
that's what a housewife
really enjoys
