Nowhere to Hide
I can hear the scream of despair It's shooting through my body I can't speak or feel or see I just can't believe it Torture's laughter echoes through the land The weeping children cannot understand So much blood So much pain Too much death No hope, no help, no end The shadows of fear eclipse the land Deprived of liberty They will never laugh again The mothers tears The fathers sorrow The weeping children cannot understand Is this really our civilized world Where love and reason stand as sacred words If that's the way it is, then this world is no place for me

You ran for your life from the fireball While death rained down and the skies did fall Cities wrapped in a fiery shroud And the land beneath a mushroom cloud How can you live you twisted thing Once the great uranium king What life now in your nuclear bog You're a twisted wreck, a strontium dog Before your fall a number one guy But even then you blackened the sky Polluted rivers and poisoned the rest Dear mother earth was this incest Writhe on your back and look at the sky What do you see with your mutant eye The skies are black when they should be blue Who pushed the button you know it was you Can you cry and will you weep For the millions now in endless sleep Dreams of a race immersed in fire Your final result a nuclear pyre

In a time when mother earth Gets laid by father concrete All the trees and all the plants Will have gone there's no comeback Concrete chokes our pleasant lands Lying there so cold 'n' dead Now we stand in a concrete desert With no chance to survive Racing through the concrete jungle Lookin' for a better place to live Concrete, concrete grey 'n' dead Get back to your fountainhead Lead us to a last island Where we can live our days Where we're safe and feel the glory That once ruled all the world Where we're safe to find conviction To start another life To an island that will save us Where the last trees have survived Concrete - product of illusion - jungle Concrete - downfall of the human race - jungle The human race is in decline concrete takes revenge Skyscrapers high 'n' proud reaching to the skies Empty now threaten to break down Time's healing power is the only cure we all must Pray for Human race wake up now Think of what has to be done

Read it in the paper, watch it on TV War, crises, radiation, revolutions, disasters The world seems to go round the bend And everywhere there is corruption Bribed politicians - see! Corrupt cops - see! Power hungry presidents - see! We let ourselves be blinded, nobody sees the truth Opposition eliminated and the media says Just an accident Anyway a lot of palms are greased Is this right? - no ! What can we do? - fight ! Against King Corruption ! - yeah! Before our blind eyes King Corruption reigns supreme How to tell the children the difference, between good and bad? Even if we don't know where the border lies Break, break, break, the power of corruption King Corruption reigns Who can really see King Corruption reigns? Moguls wallow in intrinsic power They control us because they constitute law They plunder our world and sell it back gift wrapped Everywhere - see! Dying of starvation - see! Charity arriving - too late! We shouldn't fight them with weapons, but with reason and resolution Otherwise the day will come, when we get blown away Let's declare war on King Corruption Remember it's them or us Everyone - yeah! Has the right to live - yeah! And to fight for right - yeah!

There is the light that saves their lives In the storm and darkness of the night The tower, the last hope, To survive deadly cliffs Where is the light of the tower The light everybody longs for? A hundred pairs of eyes hopefully look Through the dark of the night With shivering hands and a feeling Of dread A shout goes out they've seen the light Tower's proud light is yet in sight Tower high on the cliffs Your light it means survival Forgotten tower high on the cliffs Standing through the ages In every one of us there is a burning light A light of hope, a light of salvation A light to lead us through this world of cruelty A light that lets us forgive, cry and laugh But is it the light of life Or the light of death?

I made an experience It just happens once in a lifetime Speed this is the thing It's never been like this before Cos you haven't felt it yet This product of time and distance Now you feel a rush of speed Something you'll never forget So take my hand! I lead you to a place Where you will feel the real speed Slipping between time and space You will find a new dimension Faster, faster we cut the air We break the walls of sound Our thoughts are one, one is our aim Now we understand the principle of speed We accelerate there's nothing To stop us now All energy set free We give ourselves up to madness Spitting fire all around And thunder is pumping in your veins Now shifting to overdrive Flashing across the sky At breakneck speed we reach the limits now We'll never feel like this again Raging on to eternity But never forget the principle of speed
Do you know the story of poverty and suffering? Do you know the story of shame and loneliness? A cold winter and a cold heart that stole the life Of an old man No pity and an ice cold room now he was left alone In loneliness He met his doom Ignorance - we feel it To break out - of this game Blow for blow - we fight back Shout it out - we are men 'Subhuman creatures' got to die for industry and science Just to make Mrs. Rich smell nice Watch the many beggars roaming streets and doorways Just a piece of bread, just a coin and for them a dream Comes true It's a shame to have money and ignore the need Closing your eyes makes your mind turn greedy Want and need are the same for us all Black or white, rich or poor Can you sleep quietly when you hear the cries of despair? Can you live your life without fear? Look at those wankers they don't care what's going on People, people like that just think of number one We're not able to cry We suppress the truth

High on the hill he was standing there, The guardian of his tribe The clans they looked up to him With risen hands he started to speak All life is equal, therefore we live together With all living things But then came intruders, sick with greed And hungry for power He's the Lord of his people He's the Lord of his tribe He's the Lord of this land He's the Lord of this paradise He's the Lord of his people He's the Lord of this tribe Over thousands of years He led his clans through this paradise This race makes laws that the rich can break But not the poor Giving to the rich and stealing from those Who want for more They rape the earth as if it was their own They stripped it bare right to the bone Let's search for a place to live A valley of freedom where we still can give

If you wanna be in my gang Stand up with me We'll start a revolution And make the streets free We'll never weaken We'll give it our best Can't be defeated We're better than the rest Shoulder to shoulder, we're gonna stand We're gonna fight to the very last man Can't be defeated, don't know the word Shoulder to shoulder, we'll fight the world We can't be beaten What'll we tell them boys We can't be beaten There comes a time when every man must fight When he believes in justice and right He'll take so much, 'til he takes no more They'll hear us coming when they hear the mighty roar! Now listen everybody out there that really cares You gotta realise that you're the real power We can rule the streets It's just up to you and me
