MY IMAGINARY FRIEND
WHEN I WAS YOUNG I NEVER USED TO TALK THAT MUCH
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SCARED ME A LOT
IT FELT LONELY UNTIL HE CAME ALONG
I WAS CRYING AND HE CHEERED ME UP
HAZY EYES AND A MADMAN LAUGHTER
CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND NEVER LEFT
HE'D SIT WITH ME AND HAVE A CHAT
ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL BETTER
'CAUSE HE'S LIKE NOBODY ELSE
HE DOESN'T JUDGE ME OR THINK I'M QUEER
AND HE'S AFRAID OF OTHER PEOPLE TOO
SO WE BOTH HIDE FROM THEIR VIEW
MY IMAGINARY FRIEND IS ONE OF KIND
HE NEVER CHEATS, LIES OR FAILS
STAYS BY MY SIDE AND NEVER LEAVES ME BEHIND
EVERYTIME I TRIP OR FALL
HE'S SURELY THE BEST THING BORN OUT OF MY MIND
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME
THAT HE DOESN'T EXIST
HE KEEPS ME COMPANY
IN MY MISERY
I NEVER HAD A FRIEND AS SUCH
TELLS ME WAHT TO DO WHEN I LOSE CONTROL
IT FEELS LIKE WE SHARE THE SAME SOUL
AS I GET OLDER HIS POWER GROWS
WHILE MY WILL GETS WEAKER AND WEAKER
I'M SO THANKFUL HE TAKES CARE OF ME
I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A THING
IT'S MUCH EASIER LETTING GO
MY IMAGINARY FRIEND IS ONE OF KIND
HE NEVER CHEATS, LIES OR FAILS
STAYS BY MY SIDE AND NEVER LEAVES ME BEHIND
EVERYTIME I TRIP OR FALL
HE'S SURELY THE BEST THING BORN OUT OF MY MIND
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME
THAT HE DOESN'T EXIST
HE KEEPS ME COMPANY
IN MY MISERY
HE WAS IN MY HEAD
NOW NOT ANYMORE
HE WAS SHY
NOW HE'S HARDCORE
AND HE THINKS FOR ME
SPEAKS FOR ME
BREATHES MY AIR
HOLDS MY HEART
IT'S TOO LATE NOW, HE'S PLAYING MY PART
NOW I SEE MY LIFE THROUGH A SCREEN
I LET HIM IN CHARGE AND HE CONFINED ME
HE WON'T HIDE ANYMORE
REATALIATE IF HURT
FIGHT TO BE HEARD
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON
BUT THEY CAN SENSE SOMETHING'S WRONG
I LOOK SO STRONG
MUM CALLS THE DOC AND HE THINKS I'M MAD
SO HE THROWS US IN A PADDED CELL
AND IT'S HARD TO TELL
IF WE'LL EVER BE FREE AGAIN
WHEN I WAS YOUNG
I NEVER USED TO TALK THAT MUCH
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE SCARED ME A LOT
IT FELT LONELY UNTIL HE CAME ALONG
NOW WE SHARE THE SAME EMPTY BOOTH
BECAUSE HE'S CRAZY AND I AM TOO
DIZZY DIZZY DIZZY FEEL
THESE DRUGS ARE GOOD
BUT THEY CAN'T KICK MY FRIEND AWAY
'CAUSE I WANT HIM TO STAY
MY IMAGINARY FRIEND IS ONE OF KIND
HE NEVER CHEATS, LIES OR FAILS
STAYS BY MY SIDE AND NEVER LEAVES ME BEHIND
EVERYTIME I TRIP OR FALL
HE'S SURELY THE BEST THING BORN OUT OF MY MIND
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME
THAT HE DOESN'T EXIST
HE KEEPS ME COMPANY
IN MY MISERY

POPTHRASH
NO DIRECTION AND NO CONTROL
I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S MY PLACE IN THIS WORLD
30-SOMETHING AND STILL A LONG WAY TO GO
BUT THE CHOICES I MADE
ALREADY SET OUT A PATH
I'M NOT SO SURE ANYMORE THAT THIS IS WHAT I WANT
BREAKING MY BACK JUST TO KEEP A ROOF ON MY HEAD
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO MY R'N'R DREAMS
MAYBE I GAVE UP TOO SOON, I DIDN'T HAVE FAITH
I AIN'T NO REGULAR ONE AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY
KEEPING IT REAL NEVER WORKED OUT FOR ME
WHAT REALLY DRIVES ME MAD
IS THAT ONCE YOU CHOOSE THERE'S NO GOING BACK
EVERYTIME I LOOK AROUND
WHAT I SEE MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM
I HATE TO LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE ALL I LOVE IS NOW DEAD AND GONE
FUCK YOU AND FUCK MY AGE
I WANNA MAKE A CHANGE BEFORE I WASTE AWAY
THRASH DOWN YOUR FEAR
THRASH DOWN THE PAIN
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
ALL I GOT IS RAGE
YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT WHO YOU WANNA BE
WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG AND NAIVE AND DON'T KNOW LIFE'S A BITCH
THEN YOU REALIZE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE LEFT
IN YOUR FIGHT WITH THE MAN
EVERYONE ELSE JUST GAVE UP, ESTABLISHMENT WON
BUT YOU CAN'T IGNORE HOW YOU FEEL, A MISFIT AT HEART
YOU MUST TEAR IT APART
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO MY R'N'R DREAMS
MAYBE I GAVE UP TOO SOON, I DIDN'T BELIEVE
I AIN'T NO REGULAR ONE AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY
PLAYING BY THE RULES NEVER WORKED OUT FOR ME
WHAT REALLY DRIVES ME MAD
IS THAT ONCE YOU CHOOSE THERE'S NO GOING BACK
EVERYTIME I LOOK AROUND
WHAT I SEE MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM
I HATE TO LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE ALL I LOVE IS NOW DEAD AND GONE
FUCK YOU AND FUCK MY AGE
I WANNA MAKE A CHANGE BEFORE I WASTE AWAY
NEVER ACCEPT
ALWAYS SECOND GUESS
WHAT REALLY DRIVES ME MAD
IS THAT ONCE YOU CHOOSE THERE'S NO GOING BACK
EVERYTIME I LOOK AROUND
WHAT I SEE MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM
I HATE TO LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE ALL I LOVE IS NOW DEAD AND GONE
FUCK YOU AND FUCK MY AGE
I WANNA MAKE A CHANGE BEFORE I WASTE AWAY
THRASH DOWN YOUR FEAR
THRASH DOWN THE PAIN
NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE
ALL I GOT IS RAGE

DESERT RIDE
FRIDAY NIGHT
CITY'S BUZZING OUTSIDE
HAD A HELL OF A WEEK
A MONTH, A YEAR
GOTTA GET OUT
OUT OF THIS HOUSE
GOTTA GET AWAY
AWAY FROM THE CROWD
JUMP IN THE CAR, DRIVE IT FAST
I CAN HARDLY CATCH MY BREATH, OPPRESSED
I REALLY NEED TO CLEAR MY HEAD
SO GO ON
STREETLIGHTS, PASSERS-BY FADE IN A BLUR, A WHIRL
FINALLY OUT OF CONTROL I'M ON A ROLL
DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE
DRIVE IN THE BLACK OF THE NIGHT
TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
RIDE RIDE RIDE
RIDE TILL MY HEART STARTS TO SLOW
AND MY MIND IS UNFOLD
FAR FAR FAR
FAR FROM THE PEOPLE I LOATHE
AND THE PAIN I ENDURE
SO SO SO
SO TEMPTING GOING BACK NO MORE
FEEL FREE ON MY OWN
DESERT RIDE
NO ONE LEFT IN SIGHT
ALONE ON THE ROAD
AND A FULL MOON ABOVE
FUTURE UNKNOWN
I LEFT MY BURDEN AT HOME
THAT WEIGHT ON MY CHEST
IS GONE AT LAST
SPEED IT UP, DRIVE IT FAST
FILL MY LUNGS WITH COOL AIR, SO CLEAR
I REALLY NEED TO DISAPPEAR
IT'S SO EASY
JUST TO BE NO ONE IN NOWHERE LAND, A TRAMP
FINALLY OUT OF CONTROL I'M ON A ROLL
DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE
DRIVE IN THE BLACK OF THE NIGHT
TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
RIDE RIDE RIDE
RIDE TILL MY HEART STARTS TO SLOW
AND MY MIND IS UNFOLD
FAR FAR FAR
FAR FROM THE PEOPLE I LOATHE
AND THE PAIN I ENDURE
SO SO SO
SO TEMPTING GOING BACK NO MORE
FEEL FREE ON MY OWN
NO I'M NOT RUNNING AWAY
I'M JUST TAKING A BREAK
BEFORE I SUFFOCATE
DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE
DRIVE IN THE BLACK OF THE NIGHT
TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
RIDE RIDE RIDE
RIDE TILL MY HEART STARTS TO SLOW
AND MY MIND IS UNFOLD
FAR FAR FAR
FAR FROM THE PEOPLE I LOATHE
AND THE PAIN I ENDURE
SO SO SO
SO TEMPTING GOING BACK NO MORE
FEEL FREE ON MY OWN
DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE
DRIVE TILL THE END OF THE NIGHT
NEVER LOOK BEHIND
RIDE RIDE RIDE
RIDE UNTIL I LOSE MY WAY BACK
AND I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I MEANT TO FORGET

THE FIRST DRAFT
WAKE UP
MY FRIEND WAKE UP
IT'S ALMOST SUNLIGHT
WAKE UP
YOU'RE FACE DOWN ON THE FLOOR AGAIN
IT'S NO GOOD
TO KNOCK YOURSELF OUT LIKE THIS
IT'S THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK
I KNOW HOW IT FEELS
BEING OVERWHELMED BY YOUR FEARS
THE CLOCK'S TICKING AWAY
BUT DON'T LET IT GET TO YOU
DON'T YOU KNOW
THAT LIFE HAS A WAY
OF ALWAYS TWISTING THINGS 'ROUND
JUST WAIT
AND SOMEDAY YOU'LL BE OK
AS THEY TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL
THE FIRST DRAFT IS NEVER THE GOOD ONE
JUST STAND TALL AND PROUD
AND YOUR KARMA WILL TURN AROUND
AS UNLIKELY AS IT SEEMS
YOU'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
AS HARD AS IT IS
YOUR TIME WILL COME, BELIEVE ME
AGAIN
ONE MORE STAB IN THE BACK
AND AGAIN
YOU TAKE ONE FAULT STEP
NO MONEY NO FRIENDS
WHAT'S LEFT? YOU ASK
YOU'RE STILL THERE, AREN'T YOU?
AS LONG AS YOU BREATHE
IT'S NOT OVER
AS THEY TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL
THE FIRST DRAFT IS NEVER THE GOOD ONE
JUST STAND TALL AND PROUD
AND YOUR KARMA WILL TURN AROUND
AS UNLIKELY AS IT SEEMS
YOU'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
AS HARD IT IS
YOUR TIME WILL COME
JUST WAIT AND SEE
AS THEY TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL
THE FIRST DRAFT IS NEVER THE GOOD ONE
JUST STAND TALL AND PROUD
AND YOUR KARMA WILL TURN AROUND
AS UNLIKELY AS IT SEEMS
YOU'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
AS HARD IT IS
YOUR TIME WILL COME, BELIEVE ME
THERE'S NO FIGHT WITHOUT BLOOD
THERE'S NO GAIN WITHOUT LOSS
IN THE END
IT'S ALL WORTHWHILE

DIKTOCRACY
I TRAVELLED SO LONG
FAR AND WIDE
AND I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH
NO PLACE IS WHAT IT SEEMS
AND IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
THEY JUST SHOW YOU WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO SEE
ON THE SURFACE
IT'S SUCH A PRETTY VIEW
POSH BUILDINGS AND NEAT AVENUES
BUT IF YOU SCRATCH UNDERNEATH
IT'S LIKE A ROTTING DISEASE
WHERE THE REAL PEOPLE LIVE
BEHIND THE FACADE THEY BUILT
AND IT'S JUST SO SICK
THAT YOU'RE SO ASHAMED
OF YOUR CULTURE AND RACE
THAT YOU'RE BENT ON YOUR KNEES
BEFORE THE WESTERN DEITY
ALL WILLING TO PLEASE
WHILE YOUR OWN KIND LIVES IN RAGS IN THE STREETS
DOES IT REALLY MAKE SENSE
SELLING YOUR COUNTRY TO THEM
FOR SOME FAKE LUXURY
LOSE YOUR IDENTITY
BETRAY YOUR OWN KIN
FORGET YOUR BELIEFS
WEALTH SHOULD BE A COMMON GOOD
NOT A PRIVILEGE OF FEW
LAUGH AT ME
DON'T GET A WORD I SAY
LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M AN ALIEN
WHILE YOUR GOVERNMENT
IS TRYING AS HARD AS IT CAN
TO TURN YOU INTO SOMETHING YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
DON'T TRY TO LOOK GOOD FOR US
IT'LL BE NEVER ENOUGH
ALL WE WANT IS MONEY MONEY MONEY
AND THE OIL THAT YOU SELL
AND WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT YOUR CITIES FAKER THAN DISNEYLAND
SO PLEASE STOP THIS CHARADE
NO ONE BUYS IT ANYWAY
WHAT A ROLE MODEL YOU PICKED
WHO PUT YOU IN SLAVERY
ALTOUGH RECENTLY
MOST CONVENIENTLY
WE'RE STUCK, COMPLETELY MINDFUCKED
AND IT'S JUST SO SICK
THAT YOU'RE SO ASHAMED
OF YOUR CULTURE AND RACE
THAT YOU'RE BENT ON YOUR KNEES
BEFORE THE WESTERN DEITY
ALL WILLING TO PLEASE
WHILE YOUR OWN KIND LIVES IN RAGS IN THE STREETS
DOES IT REALLY MAKE SENSE
SELLING YOUR COUNTRY TO THEM
FOR SOME FAKE LUXURY
LOSE YOUR IDENTITY
BETRAY YOUR OWN KIN
FORGET YOUR BELIEFS
WEALTH SHOULD BE A COMMON GOOD
NOT A PRIVILEGE OF FEW
NEVER TRUST A MAN IN A SUIT
NEVER IF HE HAS A GOLDEN TOOTH

GET LOST
COME, TAKE A TRIP TO THIS PART OF THE WORLD
YOU'LL BE AMAZED BY WHAT YOU SEE I'M SURE
A COUNTRY LEFT ON ITS OWN 'CAUSE POLITICS A JOKE
AND AS IF IT WASN'T ENOUGH WE EVEN GOT THE POPE
DO YOU THINK WE EVER SAY A WORD?
NO SIR! WE JUST COMPLY
WE'RE THE SHEEPS, WE BUY WHAT WE'RE SOLD
AND WE'LL DO AS WE'RE TOLD
AND I FEEL THAT I DON'T BELONG
YET HERE I AM WATCHING IT ALL FALLING APART
I DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER THAN THIS
THERE'S NO POINT TO PRETEND
BUT I STILL GOT SOMETHING TO TELL
YOU: POLITICIANS, UPTIGHT BIGOTS AND CHEATERS
GET LOST!
AND YOU FAKE ROCKSTARS, GREEDY RICHMEN AND MOB
GET LOST!
WHAT ABOUT YOU, NEVER TAKING THE BLAME FOR YOUR FAULTS
YOU, ABOVE ALL, SHOULD GET LOST
OH LOOK WE GOT A NEW NATIONAL SPORT
IT'S NOT ABOUT KICKING A BALL
IT'S CALLED COMPLAINING AND WE ENJOY IT A LOT
THERE'S NO PURPOSE AND THERE'S NO USE
ONLY MOANING AND WHINING ARE INVOLVED
BUT YOU'D GET THE IDEA OF MASSIVE DISCONTENT
ONLY WHERE IT STARTS THAT'S ALSO WHERE IT ENDS
PLEASE DON'T ASK ME WHAT'S THE POINT THEN
'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE A CLOU
AND I FEEL THAT I DON'T BELONG
YET HERE I AM WATCHING IT ALL FALLING APART
I DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER THAN THIS
SO I WON'T PRETEND
STILL, I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO TELL
YOU, FOOTBALL JUNKIES, PARASITES AND SCROUNGERS
GET LOST!
YOU RELIGIOUS FREAKS, HOOLIGANS AND CORRUPTS
GET LOST!
WHAT ABOUT YOU, DULL HOUSEWIVES AND APATHIC TEENS
TIME FOR YOU TO WAKE UP!
I SAID I FEEL THAT I DON'T BELONG
YET HERE I AM WATCHING IT ALL FALLING APART
ALL I KNOW IS HOW TO WRITE THIS SONG
BUT I'LL JUST PRETEND
IT'LL REACH SOMEONE OUT THERE
I'M CALLING OUT FOR YOU
CRYING FOR A CHANGE
CALLING OUT TO YOU
CALLING OUT TO YOU
'CAUSE I KNOW THERE'S STILL HOPE FOR A CHANGE

KILL THE MUSIC
DAMN IT
HERE WE GO AGAIN
ANOTHER MAIL
ANOTHER NO THANKS
IT DOESN'T SUIT US
YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH
BUT PLEASE, TRY AGAIN
WHEN YOU'RE PRETTY AND THIN
WE NEED A MONEY MACHINE
I NEVER KNEW HOW TO BE COOL
NEVER KNEW HOW TO LOOK SHARP
NEVER THOUGHT IT MATTERED AT ALL
THIS IS ROCK, NOT PHONY TOP40 POP
I'M SORRY
I'M JUST A WRITER WITH A BUNCH OF SONGS
DON'T YOU CARE WHAT THEY'RE WORTH?
THAT CUTE PUPPET YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
NO NO NO THAT'S NOT ME AT ALL
I'M SORRY
I WON'T BE BOTHERING YOU ANYMORE
I'LL HOLD ON TO MY BRAIN AND SOUL
BLASTING FROM A LOUSY STAGE
WHILE YOU KILL KILL KILL ROCK'N'ROLL
DAMN IT
HERE WE GO AGAIN
ANOTHER GIG, ANOTHER FAIL
NO MONEY AT ALL
AN HALF-EMPTY CLUB, A CRACKLING P.A.
BLANK STARES AND CHEAP BOOZE
UNTIL SOMEONE COMES UP AND ASK FOR A SONG
SORRY WE'RE NOT A JUKEBOX
AND FRANKLY I HATE THAT ONE
IT'S NOT WHAT WE DO
IT'S NOT WHO WE ARE
I'M SORRY
WE'RE JUST A BAND WITH A BUNCH OF SONGS
DON'T YOU CARE WHAT THEY'RE WORTH
THAT COVERBAND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
NO NO NO THAT'S NOT US AT ALL
I'M SORRY
WE WON'T STAND HERE IGNORED
HOLD ON TO OUR BRAINS AND SOULS
BLASTING FROM THIS LOUSY STAGE
WON'T LET YOU KILL KILL ROCK'N'ROLL
SO, WHO'S NEXT?
A BLONDE DUMB BIMBO OR A TEENAGE SENSATION?
AND THE SINGLE?
ROMANTIC BALLAD OR SOME R&B DANCEY THING?
IT'S OK, KILL THE MUSIC AND SAVE YOUR JOB
MAKE IT SOMETHING WE ALREADY HEARD
IT'LL COME AND GO, WE WON'T KNOW
EXPIRING DATE DRAWING NEAR
HOPE IT SELLS ENOUGH BEFORE IT DISAPPEARS
WE'LL STILL BE HERE
SCRIBBLING LYRICS, WORKING OUT TUNES
WHILE YOU PULL YOUR NEXT SHAM OUT OF A TV SHOW
YOU'LL NEVER LEARN
WHEN YOU'LL COLLAPSE ON YOUR ASS
WE'LL PLAY THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THAT
I'M SORRY
I'M JUST A WRITER WITH A BUNCH OF SONGS
DON'T YOU CARE WHAT THEY'RE WORTH
THAT CUTE PUPPET YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
NO NO NO THAT'S NOT ME AT ALL
I'M SORRY
WE WON'T STAND HERE IGNORED
HOLD ON TO OUR BRAINS AND SOULS
BLASTING FROM THIS LOUSY STAGE
BRING IT ON

2 PM AND I'M STILL IN BED
ROOM STINKS OF CIGARETTES
AND AGAIN, THAT SONG'S RINGING IN MY HEAD
I AIN'T GOT NO PLANS FOR TODAY OR THE NEXT
SO MUCH TIME TO SPEND
AND I KNOW HOW TO ENTERTAIN MYSELF
OPEN THE DRAWER
HERE YOU ARE MY LITTLE FRIENDS
I HAVEN'T BEEN SEEING YOU FOR A WHILE
BUT NOW IT'S THE RIGHT TIME
BITTER SPONGY THINGS
OPEN THE DOORS TO MY DREAMS
IT'S COLD AND RAINY OUTSIDE
SO BRING SOME COLOURS INSIDE
YELLOW, RED AND GREEN
NEVER LOOKED SO BRIGHT TO ME
SOMEHOW COFFEE TASTES LIKE BLUE
AND ALL MY PLUSHES SING IN TUNE
WHO'S THAT GNOME IN THE CORNER?
IS HE SPEAKING TO ME?
ALL THOSE SMURFS SURE ARE CUTE
BALLET DANCING IN PINK TUTU
AS I SIT HERE ON MY COUCH
I FEEL LIKE I'M SINKING DOWN
DOWN DEEPER INTO THE CUSHIONS, INTO THE UNKNOWN
I DANGLE FROM THE CEILING OVER A LAND OF FAULTY SPRINGS
IT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME
I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE I SWALLOWED LSD
WAIT, JUST A SECOND
I SUSPECT I'M TAKING A NAP
SO HOW THE HELL DO I GO BACK NOW?
I'D BETTER START THE CLIMB...
POP OUT OF THE PILLOWS
HERE YOU ARE MY LITTLE FRIEND
HAVEN'T BEEN SEEING YOU FOR A WHILE
I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME
GREENISH SMELLY THING
SOOTHE THE MADNESS OF MY DREAMS
IT'S DARK AND RAINY OUTSIDE
SO BRING BACK THE COLOURS INSIDE
YELLOW, RED AND GREEN
NEVER LOOKED SO BRIGHT TO ME
SOMEHOW COFFEE TASTES LIKE BLUE
AND ALL MY PLUSHES SING IN TUNE
WHO'S THAT GNOME IN THE CORNER?
IS HE SPEAKING TO ME?
ALL THOSE SMURFS SURE ARE CUTE
BALLET DANCING IN PINK TUTU

HIPSTERYZE ME
SO LONG
SINCE THE LAST TIME WE TALKED
I STILL REGRET THOSE LAST WORDS I SAID
YOUR FEAR
I COULD NOT HELP TO SHOUT OUT
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
I WAS SO YOUNG
SCARED JUST AS MUCH
SOMETIMES
IN MY DREAMS YOU'RE NOT YOU BUT I'M STILL ME
YOUR GHOST
MY GUILT AND MY REMORSE
WILL IT EVER STOP HURTING SO MUCH?
WILL IT EVER STOP?
CAN YOU STILL HEAR ME SING?
CAN YOU STILL FEEL ME ACHE?
'CAUSE FOR ME YOU NEVER LEFT
YOUR BLOOD STILL RUNNING IN MY VEINS
ARE YOU HERE WITH ME?
DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
I WISH I COULD PICK UP THE PHONE
AND HEAR YOUR VOICE JUST ONCE MORE
CAN YOU FORGIVE?
BECAUSE I CAN'T FORGET
IT'S A WOUND THAT NEVER HEALS
A HOLE IN MY SOUL THAT I CAN'T SEAL
I CAN'T FILL
SUNLIGHT
SHINES ON YOUR FACE AND YOUR SMILE
ALWAYS SO BRIGHT
IT FEELS LIKE HOME
SO SAFE
IN MY MEMORY
I PICTURE YOU LIKE THIS
YOUR EYES
COULD NEVER CONCEAL YOUR SORROW
THE BITTER DESTINY
YOU COULDN'T LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANTED
BUT STRUGGLED THROUGH THE ONE YOU HAD
UNTIL THE END
TIME
GOES BY
BUT IT WON'T GET ANY BETTER YOU KNOW
TOO BAD THAT'S A TAPE I CAN'T REWIND
ALL THE MEAN WORDS, THE TROUBLES I CAUSED
I WISH I COULD TAKE THEM BACK
ALL THE LAUGHS, THE SHARING, YOUR TRUST
I WISH I COULD HAVE THEM BACK
I WENT VERY FAR LOOKING FOR YOU
IN THE CLOUDS AND THE SEA
ON THAT SHORE YOU WERE THERE WITH ME
AS YOU PROMISED YOU'D BE
AS I PROMISED YOU'D BE
AS A WHISPER IN THE WIND
CAN YOU STILL HEAR ME SING?
CAN YOU STILL FEEL ME ACHE?
'CAUSE FOR ME YOU NEVER LEFT
YOUR BLOOD STILL RUNNING IN MY VEINS
ARE YOU HERE WITH ME?
DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
I WISH I COULD PICK UP THE PHONE
AND HEAR YOUR VOICE JUST ONCE MORE
CAN YOU FORGIVE?
BECAUSE I CAN'T FORGET
IT'S A WOUND THAT NEVER HEALS
A HOLE IN MY SOUL THAT I CAN'T SEAL
CAN YOU STILL HEAR ME PLAY?
CAN YOU STILL HEAR WHAT I SAY?
THERE'S NO WAY I CAN LET GO
I NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE

THE DRUMMER IS DEAD
1, 2, 3, 4
IT'S A TOUGH LIFE
IF YOU WANNA BE IN A BAND, OH YES
FIRST, YOU HAVE TO FIND A NAME
A REHARSALS SPACE TO PLAY
AND WHEN YOU LOOK FOR BANDMATES
PUT AN AD ON A MUSIC BOARD

GUITAR, YES WE'VE GOT THAT
BASS, I'M THE BASS MAN
SINGER, YES WE HAVE ONE
AND THE DRUMMER?
THE DRUMMER IS DEAD
MUSIC MATE

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO GIGS
SOMEONE'S MISSING, WHO'S THAT?
IT'S NOT THE GUITAR, WE HAVE ONE
NOT THE BASS, I'M THE BASS MAN
NOT THE SINGER, 'CAUSE THE SINGER IS HERE

RANDOM
I WOKE UP TODAY WITH A DISTURBING FEELING
A FEELING THAT WON'T GO AWAY
RUNNING 'ROUND, IN OUT OF TOWN
TO WHAT? TO WHERE?
OH THIS CRAZY WORLD IS A SPINNING DISASTER
AND THE STRUGGLE GETS ON 'N ON
IT'S A SYSTEM THAT SWALLOWS YOU WHOLE
IT FEEDS ON YOUR SOUL SOUL SOUL
SO WHAT'S THE POINT IN DOING ALL OVER AGAIN?
EVERYDAY'S LIKE GROUNDHOG'S DAY
SOMEONE FIGHTS AND SOMEONE PRAYS
BUT NO ONE EVER ASKS FOR A CHANGE
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TRY TO IMAGINE A LIFE BRAND NEW
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
IT'S BETTER THAN THIS AND IT MIGHT EVEN WORK
STOP RIGHT THERE
IT'S NOT ENOUGH JUST MAKING IT UP INSIDE YOUR HEAD
IT'S NOT REAL
IT'S NOT REAL
BUT SO FAR IT'S YOUR BEST IDEA
YOU WERE BORN A PERFECT AND SPOTLESS BABY
JUST TO GROW UP INTO AN HELPLESS ADULT
BUT MY FRIEND, THIS IS NOBODY'S FAULT
IT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BE
BECOME SOME VERY MESSED UP HUMAN BEINGS
WHO FORGOT THEIR TEENAGE DREAMS
OUR BELLIES GROW, OUR MINDS GET SLOW
AS WE DWELL IN THE DAILY ROUTINE
OH PLEASE OH PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT AWAY
IT FEELS SO NUMB IT FEELS SO SAFE
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
CLOSE YOUR EYES 'CAUSE YOU'RE TOO SCARED OF SOMETHING NEW
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
YOU MIGHT WAKE UP WHEN YOU'RE TOO OLD
STOP RIGHT THERE
WILL YOU TAKE A CHANCE OF MISSING ON IT, ARE YOU AWARE?
THIS IS IT
THIS IS IT
LIFE IS GONE AND IT'S YOUR DEFEAT
DESPITE RELIGIONS AND ALL THAT CRAP
AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS ALL YOU GET
MAKE IT GREAT BEFORE YOU'RE DEAD
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
EYES WIDE OPEN YOU START TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING NEW
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
IT'LL SURE BE BETTER THAN BEFORE
GO ON THERE
I'M SURE IF YOU'RE TRYING HARD ENOUGH YOU'RE GONNA GET SOMEWHERE
YES IT'S TRUE
IT'S TRUE
YOU'RE OUT OF THE PAIN-CHAIN, I'M PROUD OF YOU

THE BIAS EXPERIENCE
HEY
DON'T YOU KNOW
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD
A NEW CENTURY HAS COME ALONG
YOU WOULD THINK
IT IS ABOUT TIME
TO CHANGE THE RHYME
AND RECOGNIZE EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS
THOSE LIGHTS
JUST RUIN THE SKYLINE
HOW DO YOU DARE
WE PAY YOUR RENT
DON'T YOU FORGET
WHY ARE YOU SO SCARED
WE'RE PEOPLE TOO
AND SURPRISE SURPRISE
WE MATTER AS MUCH AS YOU
DON'T CALL US FAGS
DON'T CALL US DYKES
AND IF WE'RE TRANS
WELL... YOU STILL DON'T GET WHAT'S LIKE
OPEN YOUR MIND
LEAVE YOUR PREJUDICE BEHIND
NO LAW OF NATURE
SAYS WE'RE AN ABOMINATION
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL
IF YOU WEAR BOOTS
AND I WALK ON HIGH HEELS
I DON'T REGRET
BEING WHO I AM
WHILE YOU'RE SO REPRESSED
YOU PERCEIVE ME AS A THREAT
FREELOVE
IT'S NOTHING NEW
WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT UP
IT WAS THE HIPPIES 50 YEARS AGO
YET LAWS
ARE NOT UP TO DATE
RATHER THAN EMBRACE THE CHANGE
YOU INVENTED FAMILY DAY
BUT IN THE BACKSEAT OF YOUR CAR
DOWN AN ALLEY IN THE DARK
YOU KNOW A HOLE'S A HOLE
AND IT WON'T DOOM YOUR SOUL
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL
IF YOU WEAR BOOTS
AND I WALK ON HIGH HEELS
I DON'T REGRET
BEING WHO I AM
WHILE YOU'RE SO REPRESSED
YOU PERCEIVE ME AS A THREAT
RAINBOWS AND FLAGS
COLOURS AND LIGHTS
IT'D BE SUCH A DULL WORLD
IF WE WERE ALL ALIKE
EQUALITY
IS NOT JUST A WORD
IT'S WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
AND IT'S NOT YOUR CONCERN

IN BETWEEN
BOOM
ONE DAY YOU'RE THROWN INTO LIFE
A RANDOM SELF WITH RANDOM GENES
YOU MUST WORK YOUR WAY THROUGH
SOMEHOW
SO YOUNG
BUT YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
YET IT LEAVES EVERYBODY CONFUSED
FOR YOUR RANGE OF COLOURS
IS SO MUCH WIDER THAN PINK AND BLUE
(BOY/GIRL)
IT'S A THIN LINE YOU KNOW
AND YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE EDGE
DON'T LET THEM PUT YOU IN DOUBT
IF BODY AND SOUL DON'T MATCH
(ASK YOURSELF)
HE OR SHE DOES IT MATTER
YOU SHOULD SEE ME
NOT THE LABEL YOU'RE TRYING TO STICK ON ME
I WON'T LIE
IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER
WHILE YOU'RE GROWING UP
LOVE, SEX AND EVERYTHING ELSE
ONLY ADDS UP TO THE MESS
IT HURTS
THE MISUNDERSTANDING, THE REJECTION
IT'S THE BARGAIN FOR BEING AN EXCEPTION
A PAIN YOU'LL LEARN TO IGNORE
JUST KEEP IN MIND
NEVER APOLOGIZE
(BOY/GIRL)
IT'S A THIN LINE YOU KNOW
AND YOU'RE RIGHT ON THE EDGE
DON'T LET THEM PUT YOU IN DOUBT
IF YOUR BODY AND SOUL DON'T MATCH
(ASK YOURSELF)
HE OR SHE DOES IT MATTER
YOU SHOULD SEE ME
NOT THE LABEL YOU'RE TRYING TO STICK ON ME
X2
BELIEVE
THAT YOU HAVE TO BE TRUE
BELIEVE IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE FREE
BELIEVE
SOMEDAY THERE WILL BE NO MORE BOUNDARIES

THIS SONG HAS NO CHORUS
WEAR A UNIFORM
IF YOU WANNA JOIN THE ARMY
OR RESIGN YOURSELF TO MISERY
IF YOU WANNA BE AN ARTIST
SELL OUT TO SOME EVIL CORPORATION
IF YOU'RE DEAD INSIDE, SOUL DEPRIVED
AND MOST OF ALL
IF YOU WANT TO BE AN ASS-KISSING HYPOCRITE
YOU SHOULD TRY A CAREER IN POLITCS
I THOUGHT I CHOSE WISELY
BEING A WASTED PUNK WITH PROBLEMS WITH AUTHORITY
BUT TURNS OUT I GOT IT ALL WRONG
AND NOW WHAT?!
IT FEELS LONELY
ALWAYS BEING THE ONE
WHO RUNS AGAINST THE TIDE
SMASHING THROUGH A WALL
EVERY FUCKING TIME
SO THIS IS WHY...
THIS SONG HAS NO CHORUS
BECAUSE IS JUST LIKE LIFE
YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD TUNE
FINE LYRICS WITH RHYMES
BUT IT'LL NEVER REACH ITS PEAK
QUIETLY FADING OUT
LIKE A COITUS INTERRUPTUS
A MOVIE WITH WITH THE ENDING CUT OUT
AND I PLAYED MY PART
BUT THE SCRIPT WAS NEVER RIGHT
I HAD A WHOLE OTHER ONE PLAYING IN MY MIND
ALWAYS HAD A THING FOR THE UNDERDOGS
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THOSE AT THE TOP
THEY DON'T NEED ANYTHING AT ALL
EVERYONE LOOKS UP TO THEM
I'D RATHER TURN AWAY
I LOVE ANY KIND OF WEIRD
THAT WEED REFUSING TO DISAPPEAR
THAT'S THE SORT OF CROWD
I BELONG TO AND SING ABOUT
SO THIS IS WHY...
THIS SONG HAS NO CHORUS
LIKE OUR LIVES
IGNORED BY HISTORY
STEPPED ON ALL THE TIME
BUT WE'RE THE BUG IN YOUR SYSTEM CORE
READY TO DEPLOY
TO CUT SOCIETY'S LIFE SUPPORT
AND WE WON'T GO AWAY
(UNTIL IT'S DONE)
NO WE WON'T GO AWAY
(UNTIL WE SEE THAT DAY)
AND WE WON'T GO AWAY
(UNTIL YOU'RE THROUGH)
NO WE WON'T GO AWAY

EVERYTHING DARK
EVERYTHING'S DARK
EVERYTHING FALLS APART
I WISH YOU'D SEEN WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SHOW YOU
I WISH YOU BELIEVED IT WAS POSSIBLE
BUT NOW...
GAME IS OVER AS IT SEEMS
MY MIND IS NUMB BUT MY HEART STILL BLEEDS
TAKE A CHANCE AND WE MIGHT BURN OUT
BACK INTO THE BLACK, WITH NOTHING LEFT
TAKE A CHANCE AND IT MIGHT WORK OUT
SAVE US BOTH, 'CAUSE WE DON'T BELONG
SOMETIMES IT SHINES
SOMETIMES IT FEELS DIVINE
LISTENING TO OUR SOULS VIBE
BUT THE SOUND OF ALL THE THINGS WE LEFT UNSAID
STILL ECHOES THROUGH ME
GAME IS OVER AS IT SEEMS
MY MIND IS BLIND BUT MY HEART STILL BLEEDS
TAKE A CHANCE AND IT MIGHT BURN OUT
BACK INTO THE BLACK, WITH NOTHING LEFT
TAKE A CHANCE AND IT MIGHT WORK OUT
SAVE US BOTH, 'CAUSE WE DON'T BELONG HERE
NEVER TOOK A CHANCE WE COULD BURN OUT
AND NOW I'M BACK TO MY OLD SELF
NEVER TOOK A CHANCE TO WORK IT OUT
LEAVE US BOTH ALONE
AND WE STILL DON'T BELONG
AND WE STILL DON'T BELONG
PAIN, COMES IN COMES OUT
PAIN, COMES IN COMES OUT
EVERYTHING'S DARK
EVERYTHING FALLS APART
I'VE REACHED ROCK BOTTOM BEFORE
BUT YOU HURT ME MOST OF ALL
'CAUSE YOU GAVE ME HOPE...
AND NOW I WANNA GO BACK
AND NOW I WANNA GO BACK
AND NOW I WANNA GO BACK
AND NOW I WANNA GO BACK
BACK WHERE I CAN FEEL NOTHING ANYMORE
BACK WHERE I CAN FEEL NOTHING ANYMORE
BACK WHERE I CAN FEEL NOTHING ANYMORE
BACK WHERE I CAN FEEL NOTHING ANYMORE
NOTHING ANYMORE
NOTHING ANYMORE
ANYMORE
ANYMORE
ANYMORE
ANYMORE
ANYMORE
ANYMORE
ANYMORE
ANYMORE

MonkeyBiz Milan, Italy
We’re a power trio with a punk-rock in-your-face attitude and a vintage sound. Our setlist is made of original work: catchy
tunes with scathing lyrics.
We want to provoke, upset and make people to actually listen to what we play, especially in this day and age where everybody is too afraid to stand out of the crowd and being
outrageous.
We are the black sheep.
We want to be that black sheep.
