Our clean-cut leaders In dirty money they deal Transactions undercover They bribe, divert and steal Industry bosses And the political class Scratching each others back and Kissing each other's ass for cash Where do you see a just society [Chorus]: Fuck the law! Fuck the law! They can do it in your face Fuck the law! Fuck the law! When the're in a higher place Who said we're equal? Laws only govern the slobs No one goes after those who Do the white collar jobs For tax evasion A fine you maybe will pay But as a demonstrator They will lock you away for sure Equality is just a fantasy [Chorus] Fuck the law! Fuck the law! They can do it in your face Fuck the law! Fuck the law! When the're in a higher place Crime and punishment? The law is sacred It makes most people behave But if you have the power You make the law your slave There is no justice That's what the proverb says The small ones always get caught The big ones always get away Where do you see a just society? [Chorus] Fuck the law! Fuck the law! They can do it in your face Fuck the law! Fuck the law! When the're in a higher place [Chorus]: Fuck the law! Fuck the law! They can do it in your face Fuck the law! Fuck the law! When the're in a higher place Fuck the law! Fuck the law! They can do it in your face Fuck the law! Fuck the law! When the're in a higher place

Images flooding all of your channels and Senses down inflated facts All is now is all Meshes Where is the catch in the net of a World of words Appropriate reality meaningful fluidity Disconnected symbols signify no more In decontextualizing fuckers Of the TV's amputated signs is it [Chorus1]: Mediation the screen is hiding a meaning Fragmentation broken mirror Performation the mind assembles the pieces Information reconstruction? Memory passing into oblivion History postmodernized into the present Distance Collapse into a design of coincidence No tomorrow in today and tomorrow No today Arbitrary symbols signify no more In uncontextualizing fluidal Collages washing it away Give me [Chorus2]: Mediation the text is hiding a meaning Fragmentation broken mirror Reformation the mind assembles the pieces Information reconstruction? Where am I, I need to clutch a Solid word that simply means Nothing real is here around me Language is reduced to schemes S.O.S. communication Breaking down without a code Free but lost without a limit Endless nothing in the way Anarchy but the language is violent Is there no escaping it without destruction Meaning the final quest leading into obscurity Curses on a conscious mind reiteration endlessy Unremitting spirales Twisting common sense Is there no communication Silence no solution Neither is the word Is there [Chorus3]: Mediation is mind is hiding a meaning Fragmentation broken mirror Reformation the mind assembles the pieces Information reconstruction?

Violent chambers, neon glaring off the white tile walls Ethical sterility aims to quelch the smell of fear We know of the agony you tend to here We know pain just as you Remember this forever [Chorus1]: Master of life, your soul is so clinical To heal, you maim, your reason's too cinical Mindwild - you shall feel the pain you give Mindwild - you will die if we can't live Now that we're mindwild, you're one of us Something binds you, spikes of metal piercing through your thoughts Mice and man are much the same, toxing pumping through your veins Remember to take your pulse and chart the pain You and me, eye to eye I whisper through your nightmare [Chorus2] Master of life, a demi-god they call your like Angel of death, now bleed red your robe of white Mindwild - you shall feel the pain you give Mindwild - you will die if we can't live Now that we're mindwild, you're one of us Silent chambers, empty cages, shattered means of pain Human, creatures, leave behind ruins of an evil dream The final experiment has ceased the scream You and we are of one Remember this forever [Chorus3] Master of life, your kind is not masterly Lay down the crown, your reign is mere anarchy Mindwild - you shall feel the pain you give Mindwild - you will die if we can't live Now that we're mindwild, you're one of us

Woman of my dreams, so blond and beautiful I just got to have that lady, so sweet and dressed to kill We went out on a date I took here to my place She whispered in my ear She'd do anything for me When she got undressed I found to my surprise Padded bra and cotton stuffing, a whig and jelly thighs She was not what she was cracked up to be [Chorus]: What you see is awful beauty Don't you be a sucker for some gaudy illusion What you get is pretty ugly Look behind the picture for a different conclusion Going on a trip, I've got to get away Makes me feel so free and easy when I lay myself a line No troubles anymore I float above the floor But now I'm crashing down The world is spinning round Need another kick, I got the Junkie blues Down and out I feel like dying, my mind is so confused Lies and self-delusion, heaven is hell [Chorus] What you see is awful beauty Don't you be a sucker for some gaudy illusion What you get is pretty ugly Look behind the picture for a different conclusion Everybody's dream, money and luxury All my wishes and desires, I buy 'em just like that Ten cars and twenty whores Wild parties, been galore A golden toilet seat But still I feel like shit Now I realize you can't buy happiness Everybody loves my money, but my life is a mess Everything that glistens need not be gold [Chorus]: What you see is awful beauty Don't you be a sucker for some gaudy illusion What you get is pretty ugly Look behind the picture for a different conclusion

Does she walk? Does she talk? Does she come complete? My homeroom angel Always pulled me from my seat She was pure like snowflakes No one could ever stain The memory of my angel Could never cause me pain Years go by I'm lookin' through a girly magazine And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between [CHORUS]: My blood runs cold My memory has just been sold My angel is the centerfold Angel is the centerfold (Repeat) Slipped me notes under the desk While I was thinkin' about her dress I was shy I turned away Before she caught my eye I was shakin' in my shoes Whenever she flashed those baby-blues Something had a hold on me When angel passed close by Those soft and fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch Too see her in that negligee Is really just too much [CHORUS] It's okay I understand This ain't no never-never land I hope that when this issue's gone I'll see you when your clothes are on Take you car, Yes we will We'll take your car and drive it We'll take it to a motel room And take 'em off in private A part of me has just been ripped The pages from my mind are stripped Oh no, I can't deny it Oh yea, I guess I gotta buy it! [CHORUS]

Rumors growing like a cancer From the rotting fester of envy Sleazy liars, character assassins In the shadows lay their seed These two-faced snakes Crawling before you Serpents, vermin, waiting to jump you Weaving webs of poisonous chatter Sweet-talk facing you in daylight Spitting venom in the dark [Chorus]: Behind the back - what you cannot see (B.T.B.) - They pull the knife on you, the hypocrites fight cowardly Behind the back - (To) get the best of you (B.T.B.) - when you've got friends like that you don't need any enemies Greedy, groping for attention Always hiding their real intentions Never honest, ever intriguing Sing a poisoned song of praise They never say What they are thinking Phony brothers speaking with two tongues Join our posse, dis 'us the next day False friends, we can do without you We have others we can trust Beat it if you want to kiss ass If you want to give us the back stab We don't need you spreading dirty stories We just want to bang in peace You'd better not Play us for suckers Say it, shout it, tell me to my face I would like to get it from you straight You got anything to say, man? Do it like you're not a rat [Chorus] Behind the back - what you cannot see (B.T.B.) - They pull the knife on you, the hypocrites fight cowardly Behind the back - (To) get the best of you (B.T.B.) - when you've got friends like that you don't need any enemies Get off our back, Mac

Still all this party, raising hell to get my beer I will go crazy, if I don't find it here Someone snatched my only joy If you touch it you will die I'll never give up, I will kill to get it back Which dirty bastards stole my beloved suds? [Chorus1]: Curses by the sixpack cast on you! Merciless I'll break you, thief of brew Still I am getting ill Need my regular fill I will have to kill For my rightful beer They all look guilty, it's a damn conspiracy I'll spare nobody fighting for liberty Crash the party with a cry Either they will die or I Fists in my stomach, kicking me in my poor face Bleeding and hurting, they call me a disgrace [Chorus 2] Curses by the sixpack cast on you! Merciless you broke me, thieves of brew Still I am getting ill Need my regular fill I will have to kill For my rightful beer Slumped in the corner, feeling like a total dope My head is spinning, no friends, no booze, no hope Nothing left but suicide Bid this evil world good-bye But there's my beercan, recognize it on the spot Must have forgot it when I went to the pot [Chorus 3]: Time for celebration, laughs and cheers Reunification with my beer Now - no more getting ill Got my regular fill I won't have to kill For my rightful beer
