Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity I wish I had a bottle Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars To show from where I came We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for life I wish I had a bottle Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars To show from where I came We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for life We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk And we are not allowed to spend As we are told that this is the end A design for life A design for life A design for life A design for... |

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles Organise your safe tribal war Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto Each day living out a lie Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Life lies a slow suicide Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths From feudal serf to spender This wonderful world of purchase power Just like lungs sucking on air Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us All we want from you are the kicks you've given us Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Drive away and it's the same Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim Your joys are counterfeit This happiness corrupt political shit Living life like a comatose Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness |

The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold So if I can shoot rabbits Then I can shoot fascists Bullets for your brain today But we'll forget it all again Monuments put from pen to paper Turns me into a gutless wonder And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next Gravity keeps my head down Or is it maybe shame At being so young and being so vain Holes in your head today But I'm a pacifist I've walked La Ramblas But not with real intent And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next And on the street tonight an old man plays With newspaper cuttings of his glory days And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next |

Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much I am a relic I am just a petrified cry Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir The applause nails down my silence La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I see liberals I am just a fashion accessory People send postcards And they all hope I'm feeling well I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy Where they patronise my misery La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I sold my medal It paid a bill It sells at market stalls Parades Milan catwalks Oh, the sadness will never go Will never go away Baby it's here to stay La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh |

We are not your sinners Our voices are for real We realised and won't be mourned We gonna burn your deathmask uniforms We won't die of devotion Understand we can never belong Throw some acid into your face Pollute your mineral water with a strychnine taste You love us Oh you love us You love You love us You love 'Til I see love in statues Your lessons drill inherited sin Parliaments a fake life saver You better wake up and smell the real flavour You love us like a holocaust Same P.R. problem as E.S.T.

I don't know if I'm tired and I don't know if I'm ill
My cheeks are turning yellow I think I'll take another pill Praying for the wave to come now It must be for the fifteenth time I've been here for much too long This is the past that's mine I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia In Australia Praying for the wave to come now It must be for the very last time It's twelve o'clock till midnight There must be someone to blame I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia In Australia Australia, in Australia I want to fly and run till it hurts Sleep for a while and speak no words in Australia In Australia In Australia In Australia |

Or is it to purify I love you all the same But there's no - no real truce with my fury You don't have to believe me I love you all the same But you stole the sun from my heart You stole the sun from my heart You stole the sun from You stole the sun from You have - broken through my armour And I don't have an answer I love you all the same I paint - the things I want to see But it don't come easy I love you all the same But you stole the sun from my heart You stole the sun from my heart You stole the sun from my heart You stole the sun from You stole the sun from Think I'm - I'm lost among the undergrowth So much so I woke up I love you all the same But you stole the sun from my heart You stole the sun from my You stole the sun from my heart You stole the sun from You stole the sun from I have - I've got to stop smiling It gives the wrong impression I love you all the same |

For you my dear sister Holding onto me forever Disco dancing with the rapists Your only crime is silence Can't work at this anymore Can't move I want to stay at home Tied up to all these crutches Never far from your hands Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Can't speak, can't think, won't talk, won't walk Doctors tells me that I'm cynical I tell them that it must be chemical So what am I doing girl Cry into my drink I disappear Eyes for teeth grating over me Bring down the shadows of my mind Sleep and breathe under our sheets Inhale the anxiety in - between, in - between, in - between, in - between Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Through September under the weather In - between, in - between, in - between, in - between Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Tsunami tsunami Came washing over me Take the GI's I will have the spies |

Hello it's us again
We're still so in love with you And yes we mean it too Yes we're so in love with you Hello it's us again You thought you were our friends Success is an ugly word Especially in your tiny world The masses against the classes I'm tired of giving a reason When the future is what we believe in We love the winter, it brings us closer together So can you hurt us any more Can you feel like it was before Or are you lost for evermore Messed up and dead on alcohol Hello fond farewell my dear I hope you hear this nice and clear Our love is unconditional Our hate is yours to feed upon The masses against the classes I'm tired of giving a reason When we're the only thing left to believe in We love the winter, it brings us closer together The masses against the classes I'm tired of giving a reason When the future is what we believe in We love the winter, it brings us closer together |

I write this alone on my bed
I've poisoned every room in the house The place is quiet and so alone Pretend there's something worth waiting for There's nothing nice in my head The adult world took it all away I wake up with same spit in my mouth I cannot tell if it is real or not I try and walk in a straight line An imitation of dignity From despair to where From despair to where Outside open mouthed crowds Pass each other as if they're drugged Down pale corridors of routine Where life falls unatoned The weak kick like straw Till the world means less and less Words are never enough Just cheap tarnished glitter I try and walk in a straight line An imitation of dignity From despair to where From despair to where A cripple walks in a straight line An imitation of dignity From despair to where From despair to where |

I'm losing all my innocence Door to the river I know I've stopped making much sense Door to the river I think I'll leave and I'll take some rest Door to the river All my best wishes are just lies Are just lies I'd love to see colours like you Door to the river Resurrected and feeling blue Door to the river I've seen the glory and yes it's true Door to the river Fearful of the future now The future is now But it's true the things you feel don't go The people that you love hold on Baby I lost my way Following our star But I guess that's just how you are How you are The majesty, the majesty Door to the river Pre-eminent amongst the free Door to the river Happy and drifting endlessly Door to the river All my best wishes are just lies Are just lies Sun breaks and cloudbursts The hardest of all words The conflict of sin all kept within Baby I lost my way Following our star But I guess that's just how you are How you are Just how you are How you are |

Shed some skin for the fear within
Is starting to hurt me with everything Freed from the memory Escape from our history, history And I just hope that you can forgive us But everything must go And if you need an explanation Then everything must go I look to the future it makes me cry But it seems too real to tell you why Freed from the century With nothing but memory, memory And I just hope that you can forgive us But everything must go And if you need an explanation Then everything must go Freed us eventually just need to be happy, happy And I just hope that you can forgive us But everything must go And if you need an explanation Then everything must go And I just hope that you can forgive us But everything must go And if you need an explanation, -nation Then everything must go |

No one likes looking at you
Your lack of ego offends male mentality They need your innocence To steal vacant love and to destroy Your beauty and virginity used like toys My mind is dead, everybody loves me Wants a slice of me Hopelessly passive and compatible Need to belong, oh the roads are scary So hold me in your arms I wanna be your only possession Used, used, used by men Used, used, used by men All they leave behind is money Paper made out of broken twisted trees Your pretty face offends Because it's something real that I can't touch Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower No god reached me, faded films and loving books Black and white TV All the world does not exist for me And if I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops Your diet will crush me My life just an old man's memory Little baby nothing Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty Dress your life in loathing Breaking your mind with Barbie Doll futility Little baby nothing Sexually free, made up to break up Assassinated beauty Moths broken up, quenched at last The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by You are pure, you are snow We are the useless sluts that they mould Rock n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair You are pure, you are snow We are the useless sluts that they mould Rock n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair |

Things get clear when I feel free When whatever's next comes easily When gentle hands give life to me When your eyes fill with tiny tears When I'm this still you are my life So at ease in the midnight sky But my insides will look like war Paralysed except through my thoughts So why so sad - you live and you love So why so sad - dependent on above Searching for the dead sea scrolls So why, so why so sad My smile as real as a hyena's Burns an expressway to my skull But I'll stick myself together again Spirit so low I no longer pretend So why so sad - you live and you love So why so sad - dependent on above Searching for the dead sea scrolls So why, so why so sad So why so sad - you live and you love So why so sad - dependent on above Searching for the dead sea scrolls So why, so why so sad |

The gap that grows between our lives
The gap our parents never had Stop those thoughts control your mind Replace the things that you despise Oh you're old I hear you say It doesn't mean that I don't care I don't believe in it anymore Pathetic acts for a worthless cause In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine But now unforgiven the everlasting Everlasting The world is full of refugees They're just like you and just like me But as people we have a choice To end the void with all its force So don't forget or don't pretend It's all the same now in the end It was set in a different life Destroys my days and haunts my nights? In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine But now unforgiving the everlasting Everlasting In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine Now unforgiving, the everlasting Everlasting But now unforgiving, the everlasting Everlasting |

Never ever wanted to be with you All you ever gave me was the boredom I suffocate in Adrift in cheap dreams don't stop the rain Numbed out in piss towns just wanna dig their graves Motown, Motown Junk I laughed when Lennon got shot 21 years of living and nothing means anything to me Motown Junk a lifetime of slavery Songs of love echo underclass betrayal Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds I don't want cos I just get All you slut heroes offer is a fear of the future Past made useless cos I'm dying now Communal tyranny a jail that bleeds our wrists Motown, Motown Junk I laughed when Lennon got shot 21 years of living and nothing means anything to me Motown Junk a lifetime of slavery Songs of love echo underclass betrayal Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds |
