+ 1999 V/A CD Swedish Sins '99.
i blame it on my enemies
blame it on my friends
when all i need's a reason
to love myself again
hateful or depressed
i love myself to death
gotta get out of my straitjacket
gotta get out of my straitjacket
but when i go, where do i go?
another boring story
a western world casualty
contemplate til you're blue in the face
about your useless history
money for nothing
money for something
you can't put your finger on
but it's out there somewhere
but they don't care
don't kill the only one
don't you kill the only one, too
another hollow mother
caught in the same old web
i'd rather be a loser anytime
spit out all what i'm fed
fulfill their goals in the guise of your own
and life lacks meaning and feels empty you moan
c'mon honey you better understand
can't live under their command
come lick the butt of the fuhrer now
all you're good for anyhow
follow the leader all hail the king
the book of law is everything
treat your preacher like a deity
leave all questions to authority
dance away in your uniform
and tell yourself you don't conform
do the adolf hitler stroll
sheep unite in the pit tonight
donate your brain to science
you don't need it anymore
we'll teach you how to smile like you've
never done before
we've got a training camp like
mcdonalds and disneyland
we'll teach you how to sing
like they do in japan
today you will not make inconsiderate requests
today you're gonna do your very, very best
brainwash school b-b-brainwash school
go to brainwash school
employee of the month and you're dying to win?
you just be a moron with a permanent grin
we're your new religion - your entire life
we'll find you a flat and we'll find you a wife
we like to think of this corporation
as one big family
where every single kid's been
through lobotomy
you'll be thinking 'bout us
while we'll be thinking for you
we're the machine you're just the tool
stupid people are easily fooled
you're gonna go to school today
we're gonna take your soul away
so go to brainwash school
now that you're used to
cameras and lie detectors
we'll introduce you
to something more effective
a brave new day and a brave new way
your blood sample's needed
we're gonna check your dna
'cause just your application
and a list of what you've done
is not enough for us to find
our brave new son
brave new science in a brave new world
a brave new day and a brave new invention
this is what we call medical attention
pick the things that you don't understand
pray to god that they're all banned
whoever owns the media
is there to lead you
better do what you've been told
let cops and corporations rule
who-oh baby c'mon
they're the ones that do harm
it must be true 'cause it's all over the news
they've got there message through to you
pornography and videogames =
gangwar and gang rape
stay inside, it's getting late
better vote for a police state
you just made me wanna kill
when you took away my thrill
maybe i'm a violent man
but i don't give a damn
what's not allowed on video
i'm gonna do to you
whatever you may say or do
listen honey i hate you
this ain't no movie honey
you can't cut me away
you were oh so clever
like some wizz kid
so stop complaining
put a lid on it
so won't you keep looking down
down down
where did you go?
where were you
when they got shot
and your ideals
meant a lot?
so won't you keep looking down
down down
where did you go?
western life sure is tempting
to the russian boy or girl
with 15 000 hiroshimas
on a train to the polar world
ss-n-20's waited somewhere under the ice
as we taught the russian outfit
how to sell for the highest price
one more toast before we choke
on ice cold vodka ice cold coke
ice cold winter ice cold war
ice cold winter ice cold war
missiles smuggled 'cross the border
like champaigne and caviar
we used to know who owned them
now we don't know were they are
panic bribes and poverty
brought down the berlin wall
get yourself ready for a
brand new cold war
we don't need to do what you do
we don't need to hang around with you
we don't need to say yes sir or please
we don't need to get down on our knees
you can't grind us down
fuck you
(This track was recorded at the same time as
the first album but only available on the 1999
V/A CD Swedish Sins '99:)
congratulations - you just won an
apocalypse in business class
razor blades and broken glass
neo-nazis, cops, shit kickers
honk-if-you-love-jesus stickers
the chief of police says
''hit the lights so that the TV pictures
turn out nice and bright''
telling hand picked journalists
''this naked man is a terrorist''
as they drag him through the street
apocalypse apocalypse apocalypse
cops on horses start the old riot thing
like the four horsemen when they're riding in
and some ridiculous SWAT type team
is pretending things are what they seem
mr perfect hair your TV host
smiles and says ''good night that's all''
and he fucking means it
stay at home
next week: the fall of rome
apocalypse apocalypse apocalypse
and it's all all over now
the western world
no more fucking TV junk
112 won't help you now
so trade your lies for some real life
