back cover:
five human beings, five individual ways of life each signed by scars. those we loved the most scratched the deepest wounds. but nothing can kill our love, our passion, our will to resist this plastic society. so, this is our lifesign. we’re not dead yet. you’ll never keep us calm. it’s a full-scale riot, baby…
inner cover:
our world is cold. our society is based on alienation but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. the time has come to rise up and shout out the truth: we are dancing on the deathbed of a society that is seriously poisoned by greed and a nature that is signed by scars. the only cure are radical changes. so, this is our prayer for the youth of today. this is our call to arms. raise your fists and act your anger. there is a freak in each of us. we only have to wake it up. let us stop consuming the pop music diarrhoea they try to keep us calm with. let us reply their fake smile with the distorted faces of the freedom fighters ready to burn down babylon. let us refuse listening to their apologies that are nothing but lies but beat them right in their corrupted faces. one last time: tears for tears. blood for blood.
prayer for the youth of today
don’t want to say everything was better
when we were young
we also wanted to have some fun
but we had ideals
felt like fighting a war
say, can’t you feel that anymore
i don’t want you to repeat
the shit we did
i want you to think
start thinking
go
i say a prayer for the youth of today
is it sarcasm
or did you give up
i hope neither of them g** please
open your eyes, say
don’t you see no hope
do you see anything at all
arm yourself with knowledge
form troops of freaks
start a war
come on
go
i say a prayer for the youth of today
yeah, and suddenly
on a dark and dusty day
millions of them came creeping
out of their dirty holes
the people shivered
they had never seen the gloom in their eyes
and no one dared stopping them
only half a mile away from the centre of the old weak power
they formed an arrow and set themselves on fire
and with 2000 miles per hour they crushed into their aim
and the flames burned everything that wasn’t pure
go
i say a prayer for the youth of today
pop music diarrhoea
i know you are like me
we are the same in fact
still of a different kind
but can we take it back
evolution made its way
the righteous is the freak
the strongest will survive
now everyone is weak
we eat the shit that’s served
costs only sixteen bucks
wrapped up in plastic bags
must be the perfect luck
but i cannot breathe like this
i have it up to here
look at the lipstick crowd
pop music diarrhoea
is there a place for me
down at your new age store
between some piercing rings
and another trendy bore
your breasts are filled with plastic
and plastic is your mind
aged fifteen, life is tough
an exit you can’t find
come daddy pay my bills
i have to have it all
i don’t care where you stand
when it comes to the big fall
but i’ll stand pumped up on drugs
with a gun in my hand
in a small town shopping mall
smiling, waiting for the end
have you seen us
it’s time for war
plastic venus
is on the fall
hey boy, look in the mirror
a trademark is what you are
i wish you’d burn yourself down
burn down your house and car
a smile that seems amorphous
pressed into tiny pills
you never dig on drugs
as long as they down kill
this cannot be my species
this cannot be my time
your new world may be so brave
but i’m on the other side
seeing you, it makes me sick
i feel the gun in my hand
your uniforms are coloured
but you’re a fascist in my head
have you seen us
it’s time for war
plastic venus
soon will fall
that’s why i hide inside my shell
fake smile
why should i believe
in you who did it wrong
i have my own life
don’t need advice, because i am strong
take your fucking sitcoms away
they are annoying
and they are lying
you tell me to smile
but your smile cuts my heart
i dry my tears meanwhile
by tearing your world apart
where is my g**damn place
in this fucking world you offer me
i am strong enough
i don’t need you, because i am free
take your fucking sitcoms away
they are annoying
and they are lying
you tell me to smile
but smiling hurts so much
lost the wish to die
by losing touch
to your world
to your ideals
you better not try
to change me
don’t push me ‘cause i’m close to the edge
i’m trying not to lose my head
listen up
i’m not your toy
i’m not your tool to complete your wasted life
as long as there is a wall to break
i’ll be walking my road
you see, i hold a hammer in my hand
so i can smile when i die
i will smile when i die
tears for tears
your world of hate makes suffering
you’re at war and never giving in
no light in this concrete society
i change sides, from now on live on trees
senseless acts of vandalism
digging holes in highways
i set fire on your suburb mall
and smash the windows of the banks that steal our lives
you can never take back what you’ve done to me
each life lived in vain will rain down on you
and science moves forward
so much knowledge we’ve got
but it’s still
tears for tears, blood for blood
i’m sick and tired of obeying you
the truth you tell has never been true
lady liberty is raped and killed
but your lust for blood can’t be fulfilled
release the tigers from the local zoo
i rob a bank and burn your money
your economy grew me your enemy
every empire bears its own fall
you can never take back what you’ve done to me
each life lived in vain will rain down on you
and science moves forward
so much knowledge we’ve got
but it’s still
tears for tears, blood for fucking blood
