With the letter I found from the tax man
I realized that the trouble went off
years of uncoordinated correspondence
file 16 in the big brown paper bag
So I had to appear at the tax office
a severe lady waiting there for me
called me foe of the country and it's people
told me of a 1000 Euro fee, I thought
anyway...
Left the building, heavy raining started
all I saw was my car on the hook
and this uniform under this umbrella
with a strong face, a pen and her note book
200 just to get the fuckin' car back
50 for having overseen the sign
saw the smiling face of a satisfied bitch
and my thoughtlessness really made her day, I thought
anyway..
anyway, she's got nice tits!
anyway, she's got nice tits!
Wet I was when I headed for the subway
when a truck hit the puddle right in front of me
crossed the street at the Saab dealer's corner
when I felt I would really loose my religion
I was just about feeling a little better
just as if this day wasn't hard enough
saw my ex-wife doing window shopping
with her 300 pound bald-headed love machine
anyway..
anyway, she's got nice tits!
anyway, she's got nice tits!

This tragic story starts with elections in 2000
Our proud democracy was the joke of the world
But no one's laughing now
This pampered idiot's a real scary clown
As he pays for the silver spoon
With tax breaks and rebates and fields of crude
Who won elections in the year 2004?
The leader of deficit, intolerance, and war
And you call this liberty
When only those with money are really free
How much worse can it become
Than being led by the blind who are deaf and dumb

Buying fruit from a toothless woman
Eating out on the dollar menu
Paying the landlord a pittance for rent
Hooray! To be American
I can have the things you can't
Compared to you I'm a millionaire
And cuz your money's the same as mine
You know the temptation
It consumes your whole nation
But it's locked behind the shiny glass
3-legged dog smiles as it falls behind
Crippled man happy just to get some fries
Build us some roads, we're bringing equipment
To take from you all that we can get
Indigenous people fall under our power
All hail! The Gods of Money
We give a few cents and take over your lives
The more you'll want and the less you'll keep
And soon your customs are gone forever
You cannot stop us
We'll pay off your leaders
And buy up all your land
3-legged dog smiles as it falls behind
Crippled man happy just to get some fries
Wright
So it is quite some time ago
since I felt it
and not just any girl will do
I'm complicated
laughing together and we touch
as we're eating
our hearts and minds are just one beat
time is fleeting
and as you leave and close the door
I'll be waiting
until your laughing smile is back
in my arms again
the time we spend is so intense
I'm addicted
we want to have this night again
and we get it
Be sure I want to
stay by your side
Merlot, candle light
and we talk
and we laugh
and then
maybe fuck you
Be sure I want to
sleep by your side
hold you, be tied
under moonlight
it's all right
and maybe fuck you

I better roll another one
and have breakfast in the sun
Called the office
told Esther: this day I am off
Coffee and the morning news
and a nice b.j. would do
Many things to mind, but pretty far away
life is short, sit down, relax and seize the day
I think: I'm calling Richy
and meet him in the park
Staring at the peaches
and let our minds flow
And once we're suffering
we have a mass or two
Many things to mind, but pretty far away
life is short, sit down, relax and seize the day
Life is your career, so be in time and hurry on
dying, looking back, you maybe think you have been
Made a business plan
wrote a song or two
And I won't go to bed at night
'cause this is my day off
Singing songs
and do the things I love
Many things to mind, but pretty far away
life is short, sit down, relax and seize the day
Life is your career, so be in time and hurry on
dying, looking back, you maybe think you have been wrong
Thiel
In the name of profit
We gobble up with greed
Thank you Uncle Sam
For your healthy subsidy
Oh, you're very welcome
The people want fast food
So we'll widen out their graves
Today they will save, but tomorrow they will pay
Are you hungry?
But you haven't got much money
Have we got something for you
Oh, how we love it so
It's softened up with fat
We could eat it everyday
Before we were fit, but now we need a diet
Oh, lucky day
You can have it your way
And all you'll have to do is change
How do you expect me to?
I haven't got the time
For my money I work all day
Again and again, I'll eat your poison

Were it unripe cherries from your garden?
Moldy salami from my tank back bag?
The red wine was waiting for a fortnight,
made me pray to the ivory god.
Was is cause I realized, I lost you?
That I met you with another man?
Was it, cause I really saw it coming?
Sometimes my mistakes evolve and revolve.
Sometimes you feel bad, wondering
what caused the pain
sit back and listen, what
the inner voice is saying
Feel bad,
never try to fuck a fucker
instead
live with lie and self-deceit
Told me, you no longer have these problems
when it happens that I talk to you.
Ever thought, that I'd be looking through you,
all those silly games and lies that you try
You don't pick up, when you read my number,
you don't call back from your hideaway.
Was it something deep down in our childhood
Was it something that I did do or say?
Sometimes you feel bad, wondering
what caused the pain
sit back and listen, what
the inner voice is saying
Feel bad,
never try to fuck a fucker
instead
live with lie and self-deceit

It's fuckin' cold here
It's really cold, dear
And now it's snowing
It's fuckin' cold here
I've been a year here
It's fuckin ' cold, dear
Even though you're here
It's fuckin' cold, dear
No one denies...
It's cold here, it really is
No one denies...
It's cold here, it's really cold
When it's a-freezin'
It isn't easy
So I complain, I know
But it's a hardship
Cuz when my boots grip
I find it hard to go
Wright
I was not the all time loser
but I never cared a lot
if these square heads point their fingers
I just like what I have got
I was not the all time hero
but I learned to raise my voice
and if no one else is talking
is there any other choice?
I was not the all time poet
but sometimes I write a line
even all these love filled poems
didn't really make you mine
Once we're big enough
we gotta get
out of this place
Once we're big enough
we gotta get
out of this place
out of this town
out of the sun
out of the face of the human race
I was not the all time winner
and the chances were a few
and if no one cares about you
there is something you can do
I was not the all time lover
but my ratings were quite high
if you want to be my lover
have a try as you walk by
Thiel
I'm an information junkie
need always something new
if you can't give impulses
there's nothing I can do
Is my thought of more interest
than the words that leave your brain
find me on the seventh floor
in this world of mine
Information, facts, impulses
on the hunt for something new
new dimensions, new perspectives
and there's nothing I can do
My mind is always wandering
so beautiful the world
with all my tender senses
I suck it dry
Took some time to see behind
what's the center of it all
the one whose learned what really counts
will stop talking too much
Information, facts, impulses
on the hunt for something new
new dimensions, new perspectives
and there's nothing I can do
Thiel
If you want it,
Go out and buy it
Because you have all the money
That you need in this world
But if you buy it,
You'll have to work more
Work takes time and life takes time
Which one do you want?
Time's always running
It's never there waiting
For you to decide
Life's always fading
And anticipating
For you to arrive
If you want time,
You'll have to find it
As you wait the better times
Are passing you by
So if you wait long,
The time that you'll find
Will never be as pleasant
As it once could have been
Time is here and now
Life is gone too soon
We must choose between
What can be done today or tomorrow

When you told me it was over
I was not prepared at all
wish that somebody had told me
that the border's crossed
I was running round in circles
driving drunken with my car
it's the same old tragic thing
it's men, suffering
I was roaming through your quarter
throwing tin cans at your door
climbing rooftops, just to see your
face once more
it's the time for being drunken
it's the time to run away
it's the same old tragic thing
it's men, suffering
It's men suffering from loss
it's men suffering from loss
you called me, it killed me
Nothing else in life's important
never was, not anymore
future day'll be filled with mourning
and I'm getting grey
I already fear the winter
and the darkness to go through
it's the same old tragic thing
it's men, suffering
It's men suffering from loss
it's men suffering from loss
you called me, it killed me
it's men, suffering

Shadows conceal knives
From the pages
To the reader's mind
From the white
An ink that blackens
Twisting thought to the darkest of life
Murder is a play
See it happen
On channel 8
Shining light brings the fear of darkness
Come inside
It's the only safe place
Wright
There was a time
I really thought I knew
now I don't know
what to do
And if I could
would I be strong enough
to overcome
my old me
And I go for
another new years day
watch me take off
turn to light
When I was young
all things were clear and fair
it didn't get
me anywhere
Father excuse
that I woke up that late
does it make sense
is it fate
And I go for
another new years day
watch me take off
turn to light

We are no double solar system, our masses can't equilibrate
We are no double solar system, our masses can't equilibrate
We didn't grow to keep each other, our radiation's not the same
We might end up as double planets, quit rotation, keep the pace
Too weak to balance out our masses, and slowly be drifting apart
Just like planets, just like planets, we're subject to nature's law
Just like planets, we can't fight the master plan
The mass that would help to protect you, the proximity that you look for
will suck the stellar stones, that hit you and push you towards your doom
So once you get stuck in my orbit, electricity will pull at you
My magnetism just might crush you, leaving asteroid dust behind
Just like planets, just like planets, we're subject to nature's law
Just like planets, we can't fight the master plan
I never claimed to be a black hole, so, do we really know ourselves?
My matter's polarized the right way? Who made the rules that lead our lives
Maybe I am a supernova, I burn the small particles quick
You delicate, little blue planet, it's better that we both move on
Just like planets, just like planets, we're subject to nature's law
Just like planets, we can't fight the master plan

I admit, I was trying to be happy
I was trying to find luck in your middle class values
I went to live the life of my
parents generation just like job, home, family
And I stuck to my aims no
matter how much energy went off my trembling soul
I look back, should have quit much
earlier cause life did happen on the other side
Stop living in a dream world
I was free, but the freedom was terrific
and my vision dark and grey, I was getting depressed
I came back to reestablish my position in this brand new world of mine
in the center - me
And my mind - dreamt the really possible and lived the dream
to the bitter end
And god's gift - I did nearly loose it on my private quest
for the holy grail
Stop living in a dream world
I admit, I was trying to be happy
I was trying to find luck in your middle class answers
I went to live the life of my
own generation just like dope, fags, alcohol
And I stuck to my life no
matter how much energy went off my trembling soul
I look back, should have quit much
earlier cause life did happen on the other side

I woke up the other day and thought,
'Hey, what am I doin' today?'
There's a sale goin' on
I said, 'Hey, what are we doin' here?
Let's go!'
I wanna save some, I wanna discount
I shop at Lidl, I shop at Penny Markt
Hey, what's wrong with that?
I just wanna save a buck or two
The sign said it's all right
Is it all right with you?
She wants some good stuff, she wants some specials
She shops at Aldi, she shops at Tchibo
Hey, what's wrong with that?
She just wants to save a buck or two
The sign said it's all right
Is it all right with you?
Brauche ich das wirklich?
Do I need this really?

I thought I'd seen it all before
And now there seems to be more
I love my satellite
Another day of violence
It's the thing that never ends
My life is going well
But...
What if I told you some of the things on TV are real
Would you care anymore?
Or would you say to me, 'I know, so...
What're you telling me for?'
You told me before, but I ignore
Just think that spring will come again
And summer has no end
And don't you think of pestilence
Oh great! Now there you go again
It's a coincidence of life
That I am living so high
Or is it absurdity?
So I shrug and shake my head
And wait to see what happens next
And worry only 'bout myself
Wright
High tide, water all around
Landslide, falling through the ground
It can happen
On a beach, in a pleasant dream
Waves come crashing through
They'll take you
Along with debris
Of your fragile life
There's no time to ask why
Sunshine, feel it coming through
Your mind, making something new
Pretend, we can
As the waves crash over
And the water covers
Will the sun come shining through?

Woke up one morning in the early eighties
had a melody in my mind
Couldn't tell a bass from a guitar, baby
green and shy, it's damp hard to find
oh - emotion in motion, oh - distorted emotion
oh - it never stopped, turntable in my head
Started to play music for money, baby
quit it 'cause it wasn't my track
Spent nearly ten years as a zombie, baby
thought I'd never ever come back
oh - emotion in motion, oh - distorted emotion
oh - it never stopped, turntable in my head
Met a heartfelt person for sensuous moments
thought that what I'm doing is great
Bought a Fender bass and I started playing
still I am if it's not to late

Thank you so much,
the paradise we’re given
was beautiful
But we lost our touch,
what happened
ignoring the manual
Progress & evolve,
and only the strong will survive
The winners take all,
and by the way they took our lives
So this is our way,
our dampened materialism,
takes all away...
Sun, once we depend, burns us in the end
Life meant water then, now we’ve poisoned it
Earth enough to feed, raped, wrecked through our greed
Air, clear, have a breath, kiss of death is left
In the year 2200, no more fun
in the year 2200, we are gone
Hunger, dying on the street, although, we could feed
Feel the people’s rage, we never left the middle-age
War, we’re fighting for, keep the gods that we adore
Get what we deserve, paradise, it wasn’t worth
In the year 2200, no more fun
in the year 2200, we are gone
Thiel
