Moral law! The drinker's guide Was handed down by god Sacred law for man to follow Revere them as your own Life's too short to waste your brew It's plain to see - obey the rules [Chorus]: Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill Just drink your beer - Commandments Thou shalt not puke cause there's no excuse Just drink your beer - Commandments Mankind was long deprived Of the rules encased in stone Ten written, the rest were lost When will they be found? Laws misplaced for centuries Where can they be? The brewery! [Chorus] Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill Just drink your beer - Commandments Thou shalt not puke cause there's no excuse Just drink your beer - Commandments Rejoice! The time is now Fulfill Your sacred vows Pay heed to the blessed stone Respect the holy law Life's too short to waste your brew It's plain to see - obey the rules [Chorus] Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill Just drink your beer - Commandments Thou shalt not puke cause there's no excuse Just drink your beer - Commandments Moral law! The drinker's guide Was handed down by god Sacred law for man to follow Revere them as your own Laws misplaced for centuries Where can they be? The brewery! [Chorus] Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill Just drink your beer - Commandments Thou shalt not puke cause there's no excuse Just drink your beer - Commandments Thou shalt not waste and thou shalt not spill Just drink your beer - Commandments Thou shalt not puke cause there's no excuse Just drink your beer - Commandments

Nice hotel - place to stay We sought a place to get some rest The owner said: "Please keep it down" "We're good boys" - so we lied Raise some Hell! Two days passed - fuckin' mess The maids refused to clean our stys Ravioli neath the rug Stench of beer - everywhere [Chorus]: We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun Fuckin' shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms One week down - place was fucked We tore the heater off the wall And broke the windows in our room No one cared - we were drunk Raise some hell! Bed diving - brand new sport From our beds we'd start to leap And dive into the cabinets They broke too - nothing spared [Chorus] We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun Fuckin' shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms Went downtown - forgot the keys We climbed into someone's window But they shot teargas in our eyes Didn't work - locked outside Raise some hell! Place destroyed - where to now? We moved into another room Five minutes passed and it was thrashed Last warning - they kicked us out [Chorus] We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun Fuckin' shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms Raise some hell [Chorus] We were shit-faced - relieving stress is so much fun Fuckin' shit-faced - getting sick and thrashing rooms

Monday morning horror, breakfast on my shirt Everything is wrong today Traffic drives me crazy, my blood is running hot Time is always slipping away Bum! Jerk! Piece of dirt! The bosses welcome knocks me down Kiss my ass! I'll get you someday Revenge is sweet and I will make you pay Just you wait and see, there's an animal in me You can't run or hide from the demon deep inside Friday night avenger, slamming of the door Set the record straight and pay it mean Kick around my woman, show her who is boss I'm the master of the video - machine Rocky, Rambo, Zombies, Cannibals or Snuff What's it gonna be tonight? Cambodial I can't enough Of watching yellow bastards die Pushing of the button, let the deadly game begin Can he tell the real world from the nightmare he is in? People cashing in on pushing terror up your brain You will go insane! [Chorus]: TV hero - mutilation TV hero - on the screen Rape the women, slay the children Violence like you've never seen TV hero - gory vision TV hero - in my head Zombie slaughter all night long A thrill you won't forget Stumble over corpses, wade in seas of blood Slaughter to the rhythm of a million guns Random execution, my face is full of crud From the guts of Charlie dying in the mud Just you wait and see, there's an animal in me You can't run or hide from the demon deep inside Ecstasy from viewing murder on TV Orgy of insanity and pain Killer in the armchair, satisfying lust Watching victims of a deadly game More! Death Heat me up My pint is hard from seeing blood The climax! I'm shooting my gun Brutality is sex for men Pushing of the button, let the deadly game begin Can he tell the real world from the nightmare he is in? People cashing in on pushing terror up your brain You will go insane! [Chorus] TV hero - mutilation TV hero - on the screen Rape the women, slay the children Violence like you've never seen TV hero - gory vision TV hero - in my head Zombie slaughter all night long A thrill you won't forget Another war is over, this battle you have won Rewind and put it back upon the shelf Your dreary life's returning, but now you've had your fun So you will take another day of Hell They're selling you aggression, to simplify oppression Numbing your emotions and your mind Pushing of the button, let the deadly game begin Can he tell the real world from the nightmare he is in? People cashing in on pushing terror up your brain You will go insane! [Chorus] TV hero - mutilation TV hero - on the screen Rape the women, slay the children Violence like you've never seen TV hero - gory vision TV hero - in my head Zombie slaughter all night long A thrill you won't forget [Chorus] TV hero - mutilation TV hero - on the screen Rape the women, slay the children Violence like you've never seen TV hero - gory vision TV hero - in my head Zombie slaughter all night long A thrill you won't forget

Something's wrong! Last night's gig didn't go too well! People fighting near the stage A cable ripped and fucked the sound [Chorus]: Fighting! Beating! There must be another way All we ask is to have a good time You don't need to start a senseless fight Have yourself some F.U.N. Macho man! These homos have to strut their stuff So they can show how cool they are But we know they're knuckleheads [Chorus] Fighting! Beating! There must be another way All we ask is to have a good time You don't need to start a senseless fight Have yourself some F.U.N. Mellow out! Just kick back, enjoy the show Spare us all, don't prove yourself Why ruin someone else's night [Chorus] Fighting! Beating! There must be another way All we ask is to have a good time You don't need to start a senseless fight Have yourself some F.U.N. Something's wrong! Last night's gig didn't go too well! People fighting near the stage A cable ripped and fucked the sound [Chorus] Fighting! Beating! There must be another way All we ask is to have a good time You don't need to start a senseless fight Have yourself some F.U.N. Fighting! Beating! There must be another way All we ask is to have a good time You don't need to start a senseless fight Have yourself some F.U.N.

Try! When every day life starts to get you down And your problems seem too many When your job is shit, the rent is due And you're down to your last penny Where do you go? Who do you count on When there's no place left to hide? When your parents don't like you and they told you so They wish that you had died [Chorus]: I look at you - and I know what to do I look at you - I know what to do I look at you - and I know what to do I look at you - I know what to do They gotta try! Now I'm not here to preach or tell you The way you got to live Just stop and think about what you want And what you want to give Goddammit life is what we're here for Not to watch fuckin' TV But if that's where you think the answer is Then better get away from me [Chorus]: I look at you - and I know what to do I look at you - I know what to do I look at you - and I know what to do I look at you - I know what to do Try again! You got to get up in the morning and try again Not tomorrow - do it today Young or old, it don't matter man Don't let your life slip away You got take a chance - push yourself Stand up for what you know is right Don't take no shit from anyone Let'em know that you're ready to fight Try again! Now, there's no easy answers But here's my final advice to you Take control of your life, man Work hard and follow thru And if a friend is travelling a rocky road Then help him on his way Tell him that he's got to try again And try harder every day [Chorus]: I look at you - and I know what to do I look at you - I know what to do I look at you - and I know what to do I look at you - I know what to do You got to get up in the morning and try again Not tomorrow - do it today Young or old, it don't matter man Don't let your life slip away You got take a chance - push yourself Stand up for what you know is right Don't take no shit from anyone Let'em know that you're ready to fight

Can this be or am I dreaming? What a mess! Woke up drunk lying on the floor This cannot be, my place is trashed Broken bottles everywhere Vomit oozing down the stairs I asked myself how did this happen Don't recall Why the nasty, pounding headache? I need relief, where's the Tylenol [Chorus]: Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? I always regret the morning after! Morning's passed, now I think I remember Holy shit! Ugly bitch playing with my member Mutated sow with an extra tit Senseless ruckus late at night That's when we began to fight Four a.m. and we were hungry Cooked some food Ate until the fridge was empty Then they left, all their bellies full [Chorus] Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? I always regret the morning after! Now my brain feels like mashed potatoes Getting sick I swear to kick this nasty habit And never drink for ever more Headache ceases, all is fine Getting thirsty, where's the wine? I cannot stop though I'm seeing double Sloshed again I know it's sad but I really need it 'Cause alcohol is my only friend [Chorus] Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? I always regret the morning after! Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? I always regret the morning after!

Always the same - I postpone things to the very end No one's to blame - except for myself, I'm a lazy sod I've had three weeks to write this song - I put it off - Too tired! Tomorrow it's due now I must compose - I'm really wired - Too bad! Absence of mind - my brain's still void of inspired thoughts Falling behind - the hours pass on my digital clock [Chorus]: Desperation, desperation I don't know what to write - Falling prey to desperation Plaglarism sure sounds nice - I'm forced into desperation Back's to the wall - the pressure's up and I start to sweat But that's not all - The group's impatient and they start to bitch I waited 'til the last minute - I've got no time - Your fault! Can't even seem to think clearly - I've lost my mind - So what? I paid the price - a meltdown and a sleepless night But that's okay - I drew a blank so I wrote this song [Chorus]: Desperation, desperation I don't know what to write - Falling prey to desperation Plaglarism sure sounds nice - I'm forced into desperation Always the same - I postpone things to the very end No one's to blame - except for myself, I'm a lazy sod I've had three weeks to write this song - I put it off - Too tired! Tomorrow it's due now I must compose - I'm really wired - Too bad! Absence of mind - my brain's still void of inspired thoughts Falling behind - the hours pass on my digital clock [Chorus]: Desperation, desperation I don't know what to write - Falling prey to desperation Plaglarism sure sounds nice - I'm forced into desperation Desperation, desperation I don't know what to write - Falling prey to desperation Plaglarism sure sounds nice - I'm forced into desperation ...Into Desperation ...Desperation ...Into desperation ...Desperation

Was it destiny that one day it was born Drunk creature of the night who haunts us for our brew It was dark, midnight or so, when most had left for home Breath of life, Lohocla lives, the barley entity Now it is alive spawned from the loins of beer Throat parched and on a quest to quench his die-hard thirst All he asks is to oblige him in giving up your drink It's okay, don't shit your pants, he's tamer than you think [Chorus]: Where is he from? Why is he here? Nocturnal boozer on a pursuit of beer So set him free from sobriety - tonight! Inebriate! One of his favourite words Control his state of mind though he has no dime Out of cash and out of stash, he's coming off his high Time to cruise the local joints to mooch liquid food Wading through the bar and wasted off his ass Lohocla's drunk again yet still he begs for more [Chorus] Where is he from? Why is he here? Nocturnal boozer on a pursuit of beer So set him free from sobriety - tonight! One day you'll encounter him, you'd better share your beer
Holy wars, insane crusaders Killing in the name of god Ayatollahs with machine guns Iran, Iraq must drown in blood Beirut, Belfast, Sikhs and Hindus Everywhere you look today Messages of all religions Lead their followers astray [Chorus]: Help yourself! (Help yourself) We need no fucking preachers in our life (Help yourself) Help yourself! (Help yourself) And all you mighty gods can go to hell (Help yourself) Opium for brainless masses Inane blabber from the pope Always on the side of power Giving people foolish hopes Birth control is called a sin, when millions don't have any bread Praying in your gothic palace Doesn't get the hungry fed [Chorus] Help yourself! (Help yourself) We need no fucking preachers in our life (Help yourself) Help yourself! (Help yourself) And all you mighty gods can go to hell (Help yourself) TV Jesus, phoney prophets Halled by superstitious fools Preach the gospel of the dollar Praise the lord while money rules This is not the middle ages but it seems we haven't grown Still need ancient faiths to cling to Can't we make it in our own? [Chorus]: Help yourself! (Help yourself) We need no fucking preachers in our life (Help yourself) Help yourself! (Help yourself) And all you mighty gods can go to hell (Help yourself) Let everybody hear the message It's time to heal the deaf and blind Cast away your false religion People, start to use your mind [Chorus]: Help yourself! (Help yourself) We need no fucking preachers in our life (Help yourself) Help yourself! (Help yourself) And all you mighty gods can go to hell (Help yourself)
I want you my baby I need you my sweetheart My heart Is full of love for you I need you to stroke and I need you to kiss Lying In your arms And touching your skin I can't describe this feeling I have I want you to get and I want you to feel [Chorus]: Mon cheri - I love you so Mon cheri - I need you my baby Your lips like red roses Your eyes like the blue sky Your legs and your hair are driving me insane I can't take a breath without you my darling
