Us And Them

(part 1 )
Can you hear them ?
Can you see them ?
Can you hear them suffering ?
Can you imagine
ten thousand miles
faraway from death, but lives at risk
"Monsters, murderers, terrorists"
all in your tortured mind
Ignorance and paranoia
make you really blind
"Monsters, murderers, terrorists"
all in your troubled mind
the conspiracy behind the screen
make you really blind
(part 2)
other side of the world
the happy family
the father on business
the daughter in glitters
she dreams to be a popstar
to be on television
the son is on drugs
prozac and painkillers
depression and isolation
a scream
a word
SUICIDE
( part 3 )
So don't stress me with your "Us and Them"
I don't need your "Us and Them"
Get out now with your "Us and Them"
So fuck you with your "Us And Them"

We are ignorant and we are proud
we are idiots and we are proud
we are paranoid and we are proud
we don't know nothing but we are proud
We are sovereign citizens of Tinfoiland
Paranoia is our way of life
Conspiracy is what we believe
Ignorance is our virtue
we don't know nothing and we are proud
We are sovereign citizens of Tinfoiland

Suggestion
03:48

Could an addict quote the Scriptures,
share conspiracies and fake dreams of rapture
someone says:
"It's the gift of prophecy"
Chanting gibberish in ecstasy
non-sense words in apathy
but this is just suggestion
Yes, it's just suggestion
Can a drunkard refute the climate change
now that his vomit accumulates in his brain
I can feel the smell from afar.
Paranoia is more a curse than a gift
I can see it in your face of addict
you know, it's all suggestion
Yes, it's all suggestion

Prophets And Clowns
03:52

I see the horde of drunks all around
cursing and vomiting on the ground
I see their faces with all those creeps
they don't look humans, they look like pigs
And I saw prophets looking like clowns
and I saw clown acting as prophets
Give me a reason to believe you
you're just a fake martyr
give me a reason to believe you
but you're part of the circus (x2)
Prophets and clowns
Kings with tinfoil crowns
Let's wait to another Jonestown
This end-times boner won't go down (x4)

Remember our youth
remember those years
remember our beautiful noises
buzzing in our ears
remember the landscape
the sun and the fog
the prairie and the factory
at the end of the road
Remember our sessions
and our only one concert
december 2001
youth energy
Bring me the cassette
I just want to hear again
all those great moments
between the wilderness and the killing fog
Remember that winter
that incredible snowfall
the frozen weather
that almost killed us all
It looks like yesterday
18 years went too fast
our story there among
the snow, the ice and the killing fog
(Choir of dead in reverse)

I saw so many bands breaking up too soon
and I saw an entire scene fading into gloom
Nostalgia is a cancer
and turning back is useless
this void is so irreversible
I heard about many venues closing down
and a grey dome of sadness falling down
Nostalgia is a cancer
a zombie on a wheelchair
preaching on a square a dumb memento mori
We used to play so fucked up r'n'b
for drunken idiots who don't know where they should ne
now it's all history
and all that I need now
is a feedback noise to destroy everything
(feedback)
Down in the hall another zombie preaches
on absurd war scenarios and imaginary conspiracies
the entire crowd agree in their comatose blind faith
and a choir of dead sings the Requiem

Faith
05:33
|

|
I heard the wrong people in the right places
talking to me about faith
but I saw all the hypocrisy
and I've almost lost my faith
but I didn't give up, didn't let the enemy in
with all my strength I stood still and I didn't give in
so if you know my story you know why
I've never lost my faith
if you know my story you know why
I've never lost my faith
I remember I was singing and a storm came
and I almost lost my voice
but the power of God is more than a hurricane
and what I chose is my choice
life is full of trials to be overcome
sometimes strengths give in and sometimes come
but if you know all my story, you know why
I've never lost my faith
if you know all my story, you know why
I've never lost my faith
if you know all my story, you know why
I've never lost my faith
if you know all my story, you know why
I've never lost my faith
