It's all wrong
03:04
|
|||
Let me hear what you believe in
What it is that you stand for
Eventually the truth reveals itself
It’s a lie you’re living for
It’s all wrong, so wrong
All in front of your eyes
We know what’s happening
We just don’t call it by its name
It’s all in the open, no conspiracy, no that’s not the same
Rather call it guilt or even better call it shame
We all lose ourselves looking for someone to blame
Now we’re going through this madness
Try to get your head around this insanity
Keep it together through all the sadness
And pray they will shelter you and me

Killer Queen
03:28
|

When you look at me and you smile
Oh girl, I undress you with my eyes
So easy to fall in love
You’re the one I’m thinking of
Girl you make me wonder
When will you be mine?
Such a killer queen
Midnight teacher
Sex-machine
She said: you better be good to me
When you’re walking down the street
Oh girl, I get weak in the knees
And when you come walking up
Girl you make me wonder
Will you give me the kiss of life?

Say a prayer
03:42
|

When you go to mass on Sunday
Won’t you say a prayer for me?
I’ve called to the stars and far beyond
But no one seems to hear
I wouldn’t know who to turn to
I wouldn’t know who to ask
So, when you go to mass on Sunday
Won’t you say a prayer for us?
Set the sails and raise the anchor
We’re heading out on a stormy sea
We’re heading out to search for my baby
Because she won’t come home to me
At night on a distant shore
I look at the stars above
I’m crying and I weep with the wales
Oh, where are you my love?
Why does this fortune, this destiny
Has to fall upon me?
Time after time I ask myself
My baby where art thee?
Oh, my darling I am longing
Longing to take you home with me
I search and I search
I keep calling for her
But she doesn’t seem to hear

The Holdup
06:05
|

Stockbrokers keep on breaking
Why should it be at our expense?
All bankers act like gangsters
It’s a hold up there’s no defence
Lawgivers keep on taking
They don’t care if we consent
And if we raise our voices the just say…
Put your hands in the air
The money better be there
Put your hands in the air
The money better be there
All workers keep on paying
Who decides how their money’s spent?
Shareholders don’t like sharing
They’re living large and we pay their rent
No sir it’s no mistake, it’s an inside job
So please get back in line, are you ready for the hold up
Put your hands in the air
The money better be there
Put your hands in the air
The money better be there
In order to show all your power
You intend to build the highest tower
To let us know that you’re on top
You seem so sorry for the hold up
The money, it’s all about the money
Nothing tastes as sweet as…
Money tastes as sweet as honey

Masqueraders
02:51
|

I hear them cold hearted preachers talking ‘bout a better world
Them masqueraders got drunk on power and gold
Build on filthy lies, they don’t care if someone dies
Cold investigators looking for what triggers our minds
Don’t you listen to anyone
Listen to your own heart
Deep down you know what’s right
You don’t lead others into the dark
It will all go wrong
When you step aside
When you fail to see
What lies behind
I hear them peace loving soldiers marching on a better world
Them invaders parade as they were told
But what is the truth and what are lies?
Silver tongued devils make it hard to recognize

Rude Boys
02:58
|

Rude boys put your boots on, skank it all night
They take what they don’t own
First steal then cast a stone
That’s how the rude boy name has grown
Strive to overthrow
It’s a crime for a better life
The skanking rude boy’s got his pride
He’s gonna hit this town tonight
Let’s come together rebel youth
When the room is getting dark
And the music’s getting loud
The rude boys want to groove
In the middle of the crowd
Move to the sound, let it all out
The skanking rude boy’s got his pride
He’s gonna hit this town tonight

Shangri-la
03:59
|
|||
Eyes go blind and blood runs cold
You feel so weak you want to explode
Plain fact, got to claim humanity back
I’m calling out to those who better use their heads
‘Cause the cost of living it comes at a price
People hurt each other when they’re being dehumanized
On the streets you see a lot, but all the wrong sights
A fire breaks out in the dead of night
Keep your ears open in Shangri-la
The sun is going down in paradise
Drums beating to the rhythm of the time bomb that’s ticking
Can you hear the message they’re transmitting?
All receivers tune in
Keep your ears open in Shangri-la
The sun is going down in paradise
Can you hear the stirrings?
The sound of insurrection
Revolution’s coming
From every direction

Words & Roses
03:35
|
|||
I wonder if you meant every word you said
You sounded so resentful, so full of hate
It wouldn’t be a fight if words were left unspoken
I feel beaten, bruised and broken
Words can sting like roses
Sometimes it seems it’s all over
But hate can fade it’s not too late
Nothing’s lost at all
Words can sting like roses
I wonder if you’ll give me the chance to defend
I’ll answer you with calm and strength
That’s all you needed to hear
In the end, what we have we don’t pretend
Words can sting like roses
Sometimes it seems it’s all over
But hate can fade it’s not too late
Nothing’s lost at all
And when we wake up in the morning
We’ll laugh about it all

Save the truth

Save the truth for Sunday
When Monday comes, I’ll be on my way
I’m not staying any longer
I’m on the first train out of here
We can go over this time in time again
But it ain’t working any longer than it’s been
You gave me love, I gave you nothing but a kiss
There ain’t no use in crying over this
