01. Reality

Nothing but a widely advertised product
now it's so popular it's everywhere you go
takes up the space in front of you so you can't see beyond it
it's just a book with billions of words "yes" and "no"

Reality must be easy
for moms and dads to explain
and reality must be made for you
so all your work hours aren't in vain
reality must be simple
so it could fit in a TV
nothing but a killer
of your brain's artillery

For every question it offers a uniform perspective
we don't want you to think too muck so you don't get confused
it's the basic assumtion for the functioning of the system
but with every step you just get further from the truth

Now I don't do drugs
nor I drink every day
but If I said this to someone
I'd be labeled insane
but reality isn't the truth
no, reality isn't the whole truth
and reality isn't nothing but the truth
so help you god



02. Outbursts of philanthropy

It's only recently
that you've become aware
but before you didn't give a fuck
just like they weren't even there
now you're listening
to their joyful cries
but what about the tens
the hundreds who will die tonight?
Simply because you chose another
place on the map instead of theirs

Who cares?

You did your best-can't give it all away
helping the poor goes well with fortune and fame
feed the starving child-that's great publicity
but excuse me if I don't applaud
to your outbursts of philanthropy

Donating 50 million
is useful for sure
but isn't it to little
when you've got a hundred times more?
You are just using them as a tool
so you can get
even more popular back home
and get more money
for you, of course
not for them
where does it end?

You're doing your best-can't give it all away
doesn't really bother you if the hunger stays
the favorite pastime of celebrities
but excuse me if I don't applaud
to your outbursts of philanthropy

Now you can capitalize
on your new found compassion
it's not just altruistic, there's a business side to it
Live 8? Bill Gates?

You dare call that charity?



03. Making friends with the usa

Do you remember what they did to you?
Dropped the bombs, now they're the ones turning the screws
when our economy deteriorates
and when the time has come to pay for past mistakes
now, I don't say there's a better way
but I don't want to sing no songs of praise
just because...

We're making friends with USA
'cause in this world we cannot stay otherwise
We're making friends with the empire
and what's ours is theirs, but what's theirs is not ours

So high and mighty with their foreign policy
I guess the goal really does justify the means
and when retaining whe world democracy
means boosting your own economy
no one cares and they're all doing really fine
while the 3rd world nations are still standing in line
waiting to be...

Friends with the USA
oh what a small price to pay
Join the club!

Take a look at the mirror, one day you'll see
a worker of multinational company
a little dot in the sky of global industry
a little Chinese boy who seems so happy
with his 20 cents a day salary
so come on, hey
let's be friends with the USA!



04. National pride

What makes us so important?
Tell me what's the deal
when half of us still stab the others
for our next meal
or am I being paranoid
or herar voices in the night?
In darkness it's not so easy
to remain free from fright

The prophets of war
made profit from the war
but you say you've got pride
was that worth dying for?
Your national pride
never came from inside
it came from all the battle chants
and your TV full of lies

Our fucking people, oh so great
barely makes it throug the day
it seems to me that the little guys
are living more like little mice
and it makes me wonder
how it's gonna fucking be
in a year or so, you wanted more
with no one there to give

The prophets of war
made profit from the war
where are you in that picture?
Was the pride worth dying for?
Xenophobes and racist say:
It's going great
don't feel yourself, you shitbag
true patriots don't hate



05. Small town morals

Just sit back and relax
relax
everything is fine
I'm gonna go down to this fucking planet's core
I gotta get some fresh air
you see, I just can't stand your small town morals
in my big city
and to me you're all ugly, greasy and stinky
like that general on TV

And now you wonder why I'm a bitter man
why I'm so full of misanthropy
I'm just sick of your primitivity
numbness and apathy
and revolotion can't help you
what you need is a cultural nuclear bomb
to erase your memory
and that grin from your face

So don't you impose your ways on me
just leave me alone
let me walk along my own path, I've got a mind
and reasons of my own
you're not to blame for the way you turned oud
it's someone else's fault
but there's a time when you quit being a victim
or did you forget that part?
Did you forget that part?



06. Every vietnam

Every day you start a war
you've got the world but you want more
but you know they got weapons too,
death of the American boys
whose brains are too small to see
that they're not fighting for their country
but their dear president and
their shady goverment

When will you put an end to all your lies?
How many more soldiers will be sent to die?
Your hipocricy makes everyone sick
your own people are suffering

Dropping bombs on women and kids
cause there ain't no soldiers here
they're the worst bunch of cunts
but their kind never dies out!
They drug you like an animal
wash your brain for the holy war
and they won't let you get high
till you secure their oil supply

And every Viet Nam you make
won't get you the best of friends
in foreign lands little soldiers say
oh god will it ever end?
Now everyone knows of Baghdad
where all your flags burn so bright
and everyone knows of Afghanistan
it's just like every Vietnam
