Brain Sucker 02:29
BRAIN SUCKER When I see him walking up the street In my direction Head down, I walk along the walls Fingers crossed behind my back Stay focus ! No eye contact ! Then I hear his twangy voice say : "Hey punk ! Do you remember me ?" HE PUSHED A STRAW INTO MY BRAIN BRAIN SUCKER GOT INTO MY HEAD Every time I take a step back He takes a step forward He doesn't pick up the signals I thought it wouldn't last long but You suck my brain again and again You drain my energy I don't know how to get rid of you YOU PUSHED A STRAW INTO MY BRAIN BRAIN SUCKER GOT INTO MY HEAD BRAIN SUCKER TIRELESS TALKER BRAIN SUCKER TIRELESS TALKER YOU PUSHED A STRAW INTO MY BRAIN BRAIN SUCKER SETTLED IN MY HEAD BRAIN SUCKER / TIRELESS TALKER YOUR VOICE ON LOOP INSIDE MY HEAD

On The Alley 01:47
ON THE ALLEY One, two, FUCK YOU ! I walk alone on the pathway I just can't stay with those guys Now I feel much better On the alley I'm fucked for life but it's fine You look at me sideways IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'M A WEIRDO ALORS LAISSE BETON COUNT ME OUT I wander around for a while and I Wish I've left some good behind So I've played my part On the alley I think I'm lost but it's fine You look at me sideways IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT I'M A WEIRDO ALORS LAISSE BETON COUNT ME OUT We couldn't break the ice So count me ooooo-out I'm a person just like you but I have other things to do I'm a person just like you but I'm a weirdo I'm just out of step with your world Maybe someday You'll realize We don't need no compromise That maybe someday you could count me in

Freaks 01:32
FREAKS You're so strange, so weird I feel like something can happen They're so normal, so lame You can say hello to boredom STAY WEIRD, STAY EDGY STAY STRANGE, STAY DIRTY STAY WEIRD, STAY FILTHY LET THEM BE ANGRY On magazine on tv screens They show us models of clean living I know it's all bullshit, it's all lies Look in the junk, search in the trash STAY WEIRD, STAY EDGY STAY STRANGE, STAY DIRTY STAY WEIRD, STAY FILTHY LET THEM BE ANGRY

Kids Return 02:18
KIDS RETURN A bunch of lazy kids It's been some time Braindead child, harmless mind Old friends are away Long time no see you We didn't say goodbye WE WERE NOT THAT CLEVER CHEEKY KIDS WE HAD OUR MOMENTS IN STITCHES What's the point if we can't have fun Leave the adult life Fear the grown-up trap Long time no see you We didn't say goodbye WE WERE NOT THAT CLEVER CHEEKY KIDS WE HAD OUR MOMENTS IN STITCHES WE WERE NO BRIGHT KIDS IN STITCHES

COLD IN YOUR BONES You didn't eat, you didn't sleep You cannot breath, you start to dig For a long time you've been sick No pills could ease your grief TONIGHT YOU FEEL THE COLD IN YOUR BONES IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TRAPPED IN A TOMB A light at the end of the street A friend to buy you a drink A warm hand on your cheek Your back against the bricks TONIGHT YOU FEEL THE COLD IN YOUR BONES IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TRAPPED IN A TOMB YOU'LL FIGHT FOR THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE A FRIENDLY CROWD THAT KEEP YOU ALIVE Cold in your bones Trapped in a tomb For the ones that you love A crowd that keep you alive

I LOVE NOTHING / I HATE YOU I got no play, I got no pay I live on a couch, do no nothing all day I don't dream to go on vacation I hate this world, I have no fun You talk to me but I don't listen Everybody sucks, people are poison Don't get along with others I stay out of sight cause I don't need NO SYMPATHY NO COMPANY I LOVE NOTHING / I HATE YOU No love, no pain, no feeling inside No dream, no goal, I feel alright Don't wanna go nowhere Everyday's the same but I don't care You tell me I'm too negative There's no future, no cure for me As soon as I wake up I'm bored to death I'm sinking down and I don't care Cause I love nothing and I don't need NO SYMPATHY NO COMPANY GOT NO EMPATHY I LOVE NOTHING / I HATE YOU

HEINEKEN BLUES When I feel good, when I feel bad When there is no one left by my side A treasure in my plastic bag My only friend, my aluminum can THERE IS NO MORE I'M DRYING UP IT'S NEVER ENOUGH HEINEKEN BLUES I love you running through my veins It feels so good when I hold you in my hand Cheap drunkenness, drunk on happinness I got addicted to this losing game THERE IS NO MORE I'M DRYING UP IT'S NEVER ENOUGH HEINEKEN BLUES 24 Market, I'm out of stock Another awakening on the floor Same sick routine but I need more Not even able to walk to the door THERE IS NO MORE I'M DRYING UP IT'S NEVER ENOUGH HEINEKEN BLUES

LIVING OUTSIDE REALITY The sun rises, so I close my window I don't wanna face the day I feel down but the dime bag is full I take a puff, my problems go away Thinking about nothing makes me feel good That's why I never read the news I got no money, I'm living in a hole I don't need more cause it's all in my head LIVING A BORING DAILY LIFE ALL I WANT IS TO GET AWAY LIVING A BORING DAILY LIFE THAT'S WHY I AM LIVING OUTSIDE REALITY When everything sucks, when I need an escape I take a look at my punk records I think of Darby, Sid, Johnny and Dee Dee I'm not alone with ghosts around me LIVING A BORING DAILY LIFE ALL I WANT IS TO GET AWAY LIVING A BORING DAILY LIFE THAT'S WHY I AM LIVING OUTSIDE REALITY

DIRECTION NOWHERE Back seats of the bus Got no sleep, got no ticket I must look dirty Nobody sits next to me People look the same Under my hood I duck my head At the back of the bus Back seats of the bus In my black leather jacket I put my headphones GG's screaming in my ears I take a look outside Everything is ugly to me At the back of the bus Back seats of the bus Nothing in my pockets The driver doesn't stop Still nobody next to me I'm the last passenger Direction nowhere At the back of the bus

DIG YOUR HOLE Go to school, get a job Work hard to pay your bills Is that really what you want ? Is that really what you want ? You wake up every morning To sell your body to your boss Be nice with everyone Tie your tie and be a good boy DIG A HOLE YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF DIG A HOLE YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF Coffee machine TV tonight Do you feel alright ? Take your car to go back home The dog has to take a shit Cries of your children Calls from the banker Go to beach two weeks a year Surrounded by fools like you Is that really what you want ? Is that really what you want ? DIG A HOLE YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF DIG A HOLE YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF DIG YOUR HOLE, DIG YOUR HOLE DIG YOUR FUCKIN' HOLE DIG A HOLE YOU CAN'T GET OUT OF

Cockroach 02:37
COCKROACH Can't remember when our lives took a turn We never knew how to adapt with the world It creeps in slowly, it's been a long time now That we all became alcoholics, drug abusers I know what's in your mind I know what's in your eyes All you see is just a bunch of losers But we have no fear We never walk alone As a cockroach we survive But don't think we suffer It's for better and for worst There's a war in our head Always on the run In the darkside of the town It's always been like that It's not gonna change Don't give a fuck It's just the way it is

ENDLESS SUMMER They're afraid of the end Bad news keep coming, everflowing They're scared but they're still hoping Nothing is gonna stop this disaster Until we abandon They're scared and it's just a start BLINDED BY THE LIGHT SEARCHING FOR A WAY OUT, AN ESCAPE BUT IT'S A TRAP WAITING FOR THE COLLAPSE YOU NEED TO REST, ANOTHER BREATH IN AN ENDLESS SUMMER They prey for a fresh start but it's too late, no turning back The fortress will fall apart They've started this rat race Played a game where everybody loses Now watch them decompoooooose BLINDED BY THE LIGHT SEARCHING FOR A WAY OUT, AN ESCAPE BUT IT'S A TRAP WAITING FOR THE COLLAPSE YOU NEED TO REST, ANOTHER BREATH IN AN ENDLESS SUMMER Until matter turn to dust, among the ruins We laugh cause they fall And with a smile, joining hands We remember those who sang "no future" BLINDED BY THE LIGHT SEARCHING FOR A WAY OUT, AN ESCAPE BUT IT'S A TRAP WAITING FOR THE COLLAPSE YOU NEED TO REST, ANOTHER BREATH IN AN ENDLESS SUMMER
