Clawfinger

speak the truth don't you dare lie to me
I've seen it all before the way you disagree
the way you always attack all the things that you say
the way you turn your back and then you walk away
shut your mouth and open up your eyes
you better take your time and try to realize
that no-one's free from sin and when I look at you
I scream within WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
you raise yourself up to a higher degree and look down in disgust at our
misery
you're no better than your enemy
but it's easy to hate what you just can't be
don't deny the fact that you're a mortal man
you can't escape from death when it's close at hand
don't sit upon a pedestal and raise your voice
if you're too deaf to listen to the people's choice

truth, tell me the truth, the truth motherfucker
tell me the truth, tell me the truth, tell me the truth
the truth you sucker

you play us out and take us all for fools
but I never understood who even made the rules
I'll make my stand against supremacy
cos hypocritical governments threaten me
I know you ain't blind and I know you're aware
but you ego's too big for you to even care
the doors are wide open but your eyes are closed
you're unable to look any further than your nose
you open your mouth and all I hear is lies
you keep spreading your message that I despise
because the game you're playing is so easy to see
it's just another repeat of our history
you talk about peace it's a very strong word
it's always being said but it's never been heard
hi-tech weapons are here to reassure it
but I've never seen a time when they've done shit for it

Chorus

kick it to me now cos I just can't figure
take a small mistake and make a small one bigger
equality's a word have you ever even heard it
I guess not and you don't deserve it
turning your backs on the problems that surface
I get a feeling that you're doing it on purpose
your mind is SLIME so please resign
you can't control your own life don't try to rule mine

Chorus

Biggest & The Best

Nobody Is Perfect But I'M Pretty Fucking Close
And I'M Here To Give You All A Heavy Heavenly Dose
I Think You'D Better Listen 'Cos I Know Who You Are
And I Think That You Should Treat Me Like A Superstar
Because I'M More Than Just A Human I'M A Gift To All Of You
And I'M Here To Make Sure That My Message Gets Through
I Wonder If You'Re Really All As Dumb As You Look
Or Are You Smart Enough To Learn The Rules In My Book
I Hope You Understand That The Knowledge I Bring
Puts Me In The Position Of A God Or A King
'Cos I'M Blessed With The Gift Of The Magic Touch
And I Wouldn'T Say That I'M Asking For To Much
All You Have To Do Is Get Down On Your Knees And Pray
And I Promise You The Remedy Is On Its Way
But You Can Never Be Like Me So Don'T Waste Your Time
Because I Reign Supreme And My Position Is Divine

What'S Wrong With Being Self Possessed?
Nobody'S Satisfied With Being Second Best
I'Ve Got The Gift And I Know That I'M Blessed
And I'Ve Got To Get It Off My Chest

I'M The Biggest The Best Better Than The Rest, Better Than The Rest X 4
I'M Not Afraid Of Competition 'Cos I Know That I'M The Best
And You Haven'T Got A Chance To Even Pass My Little Test
Even If You Wanted To You Couldn'T Pay The Price
There Ain'T No Room For Losers In My Perfect Paradise
'Cos Life Is Always Based Upon The Weight Of Your Success
So I'Ll Make Sure That I Get The Most And Nothing Less
If I Love Myself Then Everyone Will Love Me To
And There'S Nothing You Can Do For Me That I Can'T Do

Chorus

So Welcome To My Kingdom And Enjoy Your Little Stay
Even If You Can'T Afford It I'Ll Still Make You Pay
So You'D Better Come And Get It And Enjoy It While You Can
Don'T Tell Me That You'Re Dumb Enough To Think I Give A Damn
I Couldn'T Care Less About What You Achieve
And There'S Only One Thing That You Have To Believe
The Only Thing Important That You Have To Understand
Is That No Matter What You Say It'S Still A God I Really Am

Chorus

How many times will it take before we pull the breaks
Will we learn from all the past mistakes
That it's all about give or take
How many times will it take before we start to make
Can we make hope out of hate
Can we set the records straight
Now I want to get the message through to you
How can I make you understand
You've got to give a helping hand
What do we need, is it to achieve and believe
Is it that we've got to be true
Is it just a point of view

Some day there will be a tomorrow
Another day another vice another roll of the dice
Some way there will be a tomorrow tomorrow

Too many times there has been too many different signs
That too many people's minds
In the past have been blind
How much of our time can we spend wasting our time
Even all the biggest crimes
Are coming from inside our minds
It's up to you, will you do what can be done
Will you let the rat race be run
Do you think it can be won
So what's the cause, why do we need so man
We can't win them any more

Chorus

How many times will it take before we start to make
Can we make hope out of hate
Can we set the records straight
What can we do
What can we say
Is there a way
To get the message through to you

Chorus

I try to hide and deny my inner thoughts and true reactions
By fooling myself with ill-concealed dissatisfaction
I can't take it any more I can't stand the situation
I don't want to be a victim of another confrontation
I'll pretend that I know I need you to sympathize
I'm so unsure of myself so please don't you criticize
You can bend me and shake me you can twist me till I break
And whatever you do I'll take the blame for your mistakes

Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth
When I need to shout you pin me down
I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out

You want to shape me up so that you can mould me in
You want to fold me out just so you can fit me in
You feed me full with your discriminating terrible lies
What do you want from me should I believe in all your alibies
I don't know where to go so which way should I turn
I try to understand but you don't want me to learn
You tie my feet to the ground there's not a chance I can walk
I want to scream but you gag my mouth so I can't talk

Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth
When I need to shout you pin me down
I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out

You want to stretch me out just so you can pin me down
You want to dry me out just so you can watch me drown
You want to watch me starve so you can force me to eat
And then you knock me down when I'm back on my feet

Pin me down I put my hands over my mouth
When I need to shout you pin me down
I learn to hate myself instead of letting it out

do you know how it feels to be down in the dirt
with a bullet in your breast and blood on your shirt
lying in a bloodpool down in a pit
covered with the corpse and the blood and the shit
how does it feel to have a gun to your head
when you know that you'd be much better off dead
looking right down through the barrel of a gun
don't try to tell me that you think it's fun
praying for your mercy don't say you see the light
what difference does it make if the good lord's right
at the end of a war the survivors are none
b'cos war is a loss a war can't be won
you're just another soldier and you're doing the dying
you're a symbol of a nation so boy stop crying
hero of a war such a man so brave
a medal's worth nothing when you're lying in your grave

do you know the pain
marching into history marching into war
can you feel the shame
marching into misery you function as a whore

5 o'clock in the morning and they shout out your name
but they don't really care cos you all look the same
now this is the army and we train to kill
our job is to give you that fighting will
so get off your knees and stand straight like a man
do I have to tell you twice to make you understand
freedom has a price and that price is blood
so chase the motherfucker right down in the mud

Chorus

ignore all your feelings just go all the way
if you don't then death is the price you have to pay
this ain't peace and love no man this is war
don't even dare to ask what you're fighting for
just search and destroy never question a lie
you don't want to bite the bullet boy you don't want to die
don't try to tell me that you couldn't kill a man
that's a load of fucking bullshit boy I know you can

Chorus

speak the truth don't you dare lie to me
I've seen it all before the way you disagree
the way you always attack all the things that you say
the way you turn your back and then you walk away
shut your mouth and open up your eyes

you can't control your own life don't try to rule mine

Chorus

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say

Don't do this don't do that
Don't you ever talk back
Don't speak with food in your mouth
Just keep quiet while the grown ups are talking
I'm not being mean I'm just being fair
It's just because I really care
You know that I love you
But shut your mouth you just have to do what I say

I don't want you to lie
You're much too old to cry
You're just to young to know
But when you're older you'll understand
You are mine I own you
Look at me I'm talking to you
Don't use that tone to me
So shut your mouth you just have to do what I say, do what i say

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way, my way

I've paid to raise you good
Done everything I could so don't you dare to say
That I never cared about you anyway
I gave you food to eat
I kept you on your feet
I gave you all my good advice
Not once did I hear you thank me for all that I've done

You don't know anything
About my suffering
I went through a lot of pain
Just to get you where you are today
If I ever hit you
It's because I have to
You have done something wrong
And you deserve the punishment, you'll have to pay, do what i say

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way, my way, my way, my way

Don't you ask me why not
Be glad with what you've got
Don't tell me you're alone
You should be glad that you have a home
Just look me in the eyes
You have to realize
I make the rules that's it
It's for your own good so you have to do what I say,
do what I say, do what i say,do what i say

When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do what I say
When I grow up there will be a day
When everybody has to do it my way

There's nothing a god can give to me that i can't give to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself
there's not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time
It's not that I don't believe at all but I don't need a heavenly sign
I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees
I can respect your religion but i don't want to pay your fees
I don't want to hear you talk about the things you think that i need
so don't help me back on my feet again until you can hear me pled
Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find
all the rules and the regulations made to manipulate your mind
don't pretend that you're blind just open your mind and study historical times
the bigger the loss the bigger the cost the bigger the cross and it's crimes

I don't believe in a god that I need to worship
I don't believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don't believe that a voice from above can help me
I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve

Whatever belief you belong to there is always a reason to doubt
and there's always another opinion as to what life is all about
there's always a bigger dimension and a different point of view
so I don't want to try to change you that decision is up to you
Whatever your final choice is and however you choose to live
you better be happy for what you can get and happy with what you can give
there's only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do
and that is to do unto others as you'd have others do unto you

Chorus

Two sides two sides to every story
two stories more makes four new ones to choose
Four sides four sides to every story
four stories more makes eight new ones to choose
Eight sides eight sides to every story
eight stories more now which one should you choose
now which one can you use

First of all I make sure I've got the right ingredients
Before I heat up the pan
I take a little bit of bitterness to grease it up
And keep everything close at hand
Then I add a few ounces of fresh frustration and half a cup of attitude
A rush of adrenaline to spice things up
And then half a spoon of bad mood
One bottle of my sweat one bottle of tears
A few drops of my own blood
It all blends together like a cat and dog
And the result is as clear as mud
I pick the worst situation out of the bunch
And throw it right into the mix
And last but not least I add a little bit of spit
Just a few little nasty cliques

That's my recipe for hate

I turn up the heat to 400 degrees and go to work on the attitude
I shake it all up in a provocative way to make sure it comes out rude
Then I grind down the frustration hard so that all of the scents can blend
I pour the sweat on top and then the tears
To make sure that I don't make friends
When the mood is wrong, everything is right, I can add the adrenaline
But I've got to be careful with the dose I use
The effect shouldn't wear to thin
The blood comes last cos' it always has a tendancy to cool and coagulate
So I calculate and make no mistakes
It's so fresh that it still pulsates

That's my recipe for hate...

When the meal is done you get a spoiled appetite
And a dish full of disagree some ignorance on the side
A plate full of hate, served with a fistful of me

I know you know I know you know
what is the truth what is the truth who knows
you know she knows they know we know
what is the truth what is the truth who knows
I do do you will you won't you
what is the truth what is the truth to you
will you won't you do you don't you
what is a lie gave it a try won't you I know nothing you don't know
don't get me wrong don't get me wrong
don't get me
love me shove me kiss me hug me
what is my love what is my love tell me
fuck me kick me suck me hit me
what is a fuck what is a fuck tell me
take it shake it bend it break it
what is my life what is my life take it
thrill me kill me fill me make it
what is the truth what is the truth fake it
see me be me hear me fear me
what is the truth is the truth near me
school me fool me rule me drool me
what is the truth what is the truth fool me
can you can't you do you don't you
hear my reply don't ask me why will you
help me leave me feed me bleed me
need me to lie what is a lie tell me
I know nothing.....
I know you know I know you know
what is the truth what is the truth who knows
he knows she knows they know we know
what is the truth what is the truth who knows
I do do you will you won't you
what is the truth is the truth to you
will you won't you do you don't you
what is a lie give it a try won't you
I know nothing.

Chorus

Goddamn my man you see I can't understand
Why you wanna say Nigger to your brother man
Talking black pride then you call yourself a Nigger
Don't bring yourself down cos it just don't figure
Take a look at yourself and your history
You don't look like a goddamn Nigger to me
It's a negative word and the white man made it
Gave you a name to dominate and trade it
Making blood money of his very own race man
And all of this because the colour of your face man

Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger

Placed and educated in a neighbourhood of crime
Taught from the beginning that you weren't worth time
Liquorstore and gunstore next to one another
With only one purpose so you all kill each other
Leaving one less problem to worry about
That's the way they do it this is how it turns out
And justice for all with the American goverment
I wanna know where all the goddamn money went
We didn't see it and it didn't do no good
I guess you couldn't give a fuck about a black neighbourhood

Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger Nigger
You're the real Niggers,
You're the real Niggers,
You're the real Niggers

There's always gonna be fanatical minorities
The ku klux klan and fucked up authorities
Conservative cunts and religious preachers
I don't care cos they ain't our teachers
Living a life they say is free from sin
Then they judge another person by the colour of their skin
I feel ashamed of myself I'm a white human being
Surrounded by suckers to afraid to be seeing
There ain't such a thing called superior race
And there ain't nothing special 'bout colour of your face
You've got a one way ticket to a dead end street
The pressure is on so feel the heat
Media pollution is a very bad solution
Hypocriticat hype is your only contribution
So leave us alone and give your brothers some space
Cos you're a lousy contribution to the human race

Nigger Nigger ...

There's no god for you to worship, no master to obey
There's not a soul that you can blame for all the stupid things you say
There's nowhere you can turn to, no words to justify
Cos' no currency is valid for the faith you want to buy
No more excuses, no need for blind belief
There's no one to accuse to break yourself a bigger piece
No books to follow, no quotes to twist around
There'll be no more bending over just to reach for higher ground

GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD
GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A MONSTER UNDER YOUR BED
GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD
GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A GHOST UNDER YOUR BED

There's no need for false confessions, no more feeling guilt
No powerlords to kneel before, no crosses being built
There are no rules for you too live by, no other cheek to turn
Stop begging for forgiveness, there's no lesson you must learn
No future conflicts no opinions that collide
There's not a trace of blood on your hands you don't have to choose a side
No pointless killing and no more feeling shame
No sacrifices being made in someone elses name

Chorus

It's all make believe it's all conceived in your own dreams
You're painting pictures of imaginary scenes
It seems like you're looking for some kind of confirmation
But you're in desperate need of a different revelation

Chorus

I'm two steps away from stepping over the edge and getting lost in the great unknown
Because one small step in the wrong direction is enough to shake the cornerstone
Whereever I'm thrown no matter where I end up it can't be any worse than here
If I'm sincere with myself then tell me what else is there really left for me to fear

I'm two steps away from just killing myself because I'm sick and tired of being the prey
but when I'm dead everything that I've said will lose its meaning and fade to grey
I'm not ready for that I'd rather counterattack Instead of leaving my own song unsung
Because I'm too young to die and I can never justify not breathing air into my lunges

I'll take one more step until somebody stops me
I'll take one more step until somebody stops me
I'll take one more step until somebody stops me
I'll take one more step until somebody stops me

I'm two steps away from making somebody pay for every time that I've been deceived
How can I believe a single word you say when I know you've got a card up your sleeve
I might be naive but I'm still forced to believe that all the best in life is yet to come
That's why I refuse to lose my faith in myself even after all the wrong that you've done

(Chorus)

They're out get me,I can't escape cos' they won't let me
They won't forget me,They'll get me in their grip and sweat me
They'll wait me out,and then move in under my skin
They'll make me doubt,They're out to make me let them in

I can't escape them, there's nowhere I can run and hide
Make one mistake and, that's when they work their way inside
They'll try and take me, they'll break me down and suck me dry
I can't' let them shape me, they'll make me up and make me cry

They're out to get me
I want to leave but they won't let me out
They're out to get me
I wan't to leave but they won't let me out
They won't forget me
They'll get you in their grip and sweat me out

They're gonna hit me, cuff me up and then bullshit me
Then they'll outwit me, dress me up and make it fit me
They'll lock the door now, Keep it shut and throw away the key
They'll turn the lights out, What no one knows, nobody sees
