chasing trends

They burn it in our heads
everybody must be perfect
exploit the weakness of the sick
and the sad ones swallow your lies
you put us down to lift us high
go with the trend to be someone
2012, this is life. everyone's alone and sad
feelings are dead and all we want
is to be liked. we seek for attention
watch me, myself and I. hipster shit and teenporn style
watch me, myself and I. all I want is to be liked
you become the part, just walk their walk
and talk their talk
go with the flow
and do what they want you to do
must be individual in mainstream
it's hip to be the „one“
buy reputation, style your image
it's all about watch and being watched
we're all chasing trends
we all get caught again
the fish is fished
we all get dished
blinded by our disappointments

No sign of hope at the end of the day
just the assurance that it will never be the same
They take away your love, (and) rip out your heart.
Powerless, lost, left alone and the world looks away
Everybody wants a piece of the cake
Deal with our lives.
we are just goods in their eyes
the human trade is alive.
just pay the price
kidnapped, bought and sold, raped and murdered
people vanish, gone, headlines in the news
This constant fear keeps the men small
heads down, a wrong word and you lose it all
Everybody wants a piece of the cake
Deal with our lives.
we are just goods in their eyes
the human trade is alive.
just pay the price
There are people who rise against
these people fight against
they give it all and end up dead
feel organized crime
there's no (right) side to decide
Corruption brings us to our knees
and in silence we bleed
When all your hope is dead
and you lost it all
how deep can you fall
bring light into the dark
make a mark
Tell your story
again and again
until it feels your pain
until it feels the same
The whole world looks away
as long as we're all not affected

progress
02:13
|

We're living in a world
affected by aspiration
for more and more
blinded by the propaganda of progress
Less and less watch their step
own needs give way to social pressure
more and more lose their faith
more and more (they) burn out
progress (has) replaced God
we always strive for "the faster the better"
but the faster we go the more risks we take
and commercial lies "it doesn't matter"
fuck you for this society. fake!
the cult of speed and acceleration
that technology has engendered
it will be the death of us all
nothing built lasts forever
and nor will you
flesh and bone may be replaced someday
but they can't take our souls

appeal to humanity
02:07
|
|||
We have so much need for help
everything is given but not for everyone
Our health lies in your hands,
you play your ace and we are powerless
You let (the) mankind believe that with
your product, they are on the mend.
What a worthwhile branch of trade.
demand and supply, they won´t end.
You keep us ill and offer us solutions in pills for everything
all you want, it´s all inside.
all you need, just pay the price.
advertise hope and betterment, appeal to humanity, fuck you!
You have the power to heal the world,
but you just fill your already full pockets.
Rape animals in the name of research,
offer us cheap products aware of the side-effects.
We're no longer patients, no, we are customers.
As long as we suffer the more profit you spit out
You keep us ill and offer us solutions in pills for everything
all you want, it´s all inside.
all you need, just pay the price.
advertise hope and betterment, appeal to humanity, fuck you!
You parasites, subsist from our weakness.
Walk over dead bodies for the big hit.
We give our lives and you give a shit.
Without dignity we are treated like labor rats.
Welfare protects.

something reasonable
02:02
|

With the belief to do something reasonable
Defeat your fears and fight the tears
Left it all behind to fucking give it all
A young man died at the age of 24
they did it for a reason, to protect home and families
be strong for the weak and be brave for the afraid
every battle has its victims
every war (has) its dark sides
keep on questioning and the answers
are right before your eyes
if you survive today
you fucking die tomorrow
or you'll be broken in the end
where is the sense in this nonsense?
we kill for greed and not to protect peace
Create a belief
this is the art of misleading
a soldier of rich men’s chess
no need for defense
when you attack the weak
nothing is won but you lost it all
There are billions like him and they all once had a life
they give it up for the fight
the fight “of justice”
every battle has its victims
every war (has) its dark sides
keep on questioning and the answers
are right before your eyes
