Stereotypes
04:50
|

A life like this
Is nothing new
A great divide
Connects them too
These boys and girls
Have little they share
The boys’ swagger
Makes them laugh
And no one’s conscience cries
Welcome to a world of stereotypes
Brand name products
Define their style
Mobile phones
Close at hand
Leant against
German sports cars
Nationalism
Waves its flag
A generation’s feeling
Can be deceiving
They haven’t got the faintest idea about that
Who can tell?
What’s right or wrong?
Experience tells us
It’s difficult at all
Who do we think we are?
To bring in a verdict
Without running the risk
Of being prejudiced

Piece by Piece

Whirling twirling
So many years
Have gone by now
Most things changed
But some remain
Undeniably
Certain moments
Seem to recur
Eternally
Piece by piece
You put them up
Turn them over
More and more
You will realise
How far you have got
Consider the past
That had been shared
With some future ahead
Thoughts and feelings
Kept in your memory
No button of reset
There’s no use in trying
To await the outcome
To feel regret

Spilled
03:05
|

You can’t deny
You did your best
A promising start
Turned into a mess
Things were not always
What they seemed
Suspicion arose
You know what I mean
You can’t deny
You did your best
A promising start
Turned into a mess
Who will be next?
To turn his head
To point a finger
At someone sad
And times are getting rough
And if you had enough
No duty would be fulfilled
Just so much ink being spilled

Feelings Collide
03:56
|

She’s moving up and down
Two feet above the ground
Playing the see-saw
Aping the crow
Biting the apple
Watching the ripple
Smiling at me
Who sits in a tree
Her local fame
All call her name
Akin to a flower
I witness her power
As she commands
Her servants in advance
All the other boys
She treats like toys
Feelings collide
(Love and pain)
Lie closer together
Feelings collide
(Love and pain)
Lie closer together
Her aim is clear
She has no fear
She will target me
She will tempt me
By playing tricks on me
In order to mock at me
Aching to see me
Falling from the tree
Feelings collide
(Love and pain)
Lie closer together
Feelings collide
(Love and pain)
Lie closer together

Triple Existence
03:27
|
|||
First I’m here,
Then I’m there,
You won’t catch me,
You’d better not care
Places to hide,
Places to rest,
Hunting me is pointless,
I’ll stand the test
You might attest me some quality,
By detecting my quicksilver shape,
No need for any double life
In the middle of a triple existence
Time and space
I’ve overcome,
When I’m on my way
Through different dimensions
My absence here,
My presence there,
Avoiding any kind
Of prediction

Choices of Masses
05:04
|
|||
Let’s put it down
As a kind of fate
Predestined by birth and by status
The principle is
To help oneself
To have something in the bag
They don’t trust in state
They don’t care for others
Demanding welfare for their own sake
And I don’t feel bad about it
No, I don’t feel bad about it
I don’t feel compassion for them
Their behaviour is disgusting
They won’t give a damn
About me and what I think
They’re proud
To be ignorant
Everything shall be cheap and abundant
Consumption becomes a political right
Weaving a band between winners and losers
Rejecting education
Unless it results
In some material benefit
And I don’t feel bad about it
No, I don’t feel bad about it
I don’t feel compassion for them
Their behaviour is disgusting
They won’t give a damn
About me and what I think
