DOOM II
I can’t stand watching the news.
I can’t stand common people.
Everyone out there’s insane.
Oh tell me something I didn‘t know.
My species, stupid to the bone.
Brains like air balloons.
Keep everyone sedated,
that’s how they want it.
At least planet earth made another round
and couldn’t shake us off.
We crawled from the sea
and learned how to breathe.
Now we just poison the air.
My species, dumb and arrogant.
Apparently immune to facts and
oblivious to the damage they do.
Some narcissist will hit the red button
and nuke us all into tiny bits of space junk.
I‘m tied to my easy chair
and watch history repeat and repeat again.
Please just get me daydrunk as quick as possible.
I’m getting by on aperol and my everyday medicine,
a healthy dose of I don’t give a fuck.
DON'T LET THEM TAKE YOU ALIVE
Did you know that today
is the first day of the rest of our lives?
So come on come on come on let’s go!
I don’t wanna blend in with the zombies around.
Living hell is their default state of mind.
You know, all they do is drag you down.
Why settle in with a huge bag of broken dreams?
They go on holidays with continental breakfast
and a guided tour of the city’s worst kept secrets.
Oh, bore yourselves to death!
Don’t let them take you alive!
What’s up with those automatons?
Either dead or waiting to die.
Nod along nod along nod along till their heads fall off.
Semi detached houses all the way down
to the cemetery gates.
Don’t be scared to try or afraid to fail.
we’re gonna be okay.
Cuz we can be anything we want to be.
Think that sounds like a platitude?
Well, I suggest you think again.
Don’t let them take you alive!
GIVEMEABREAK
I just pull a frown
in a world flipped upside down.
Never out of shit to be pissed about.
Well, deal with it.
The whole wide world is starting to get on my nerves,
but I might as well be cursing the sun.
No, I’m not being negative.
I‘m not paranoid.
I’m self-diagnosed annoyed.
I grew a middle finger the size of the sky,
but it’s not helping anything.
This year proved me right in all i’ve known all along.
Pick out my eyes, cut off my ears.
Oh you‘ve heard it before? Tape my mouth.
No, I’m not being negative.
I just ran out of positive things to say.
Givemeabreak.
X-RAY EYES
I’ve got a one track mind that loves to complain,
and a finger that points at people like you.
I can’t help it, I can’t quit,
even if I wanted to.
I know just where you stand.
Yeah, why is it hard for others to tell?
I think I was born with x-ray eyes,
cuz to me it’s written all over your face.
I’ve got this talent, I can tell
a rotten soul through walls and tv screens.
If it’s curse or blessing I can’t say.
But it’s something I do well!
And it’s not me – it’s you and you.
That’s what I figured, and it’s true.
Seven billion kings and queens,
I’m just bored with every single one of them.
I’ve got a sick excitement for mass stupidity.
We’re going down down down,
and I can’t turn my eyes away.
I’ve got a sick excitement for mass stupidity.
We’re going down down down,
and I can’t turn my swollen tired eyes away.
damn my x-ray eyes
damn my x-ray eyes
damn my x-ray eyes
damn my x-ray eyes
SKELETONS
Robots and morons.
All running late for their shit jobs.
Surviving on big mouths and elbows.
Skeletons on ego trips.
If we opened their chests,
I swear their hearts look just like rotten walnuts.
Black and dead inside.
Pick one and we’ll try.
All the good ones hide in the shadows
of a pretentious world.
Are you making up your alibi?
I’m pretty sure we’ve got nothing to prove,
not to anyone.
Killing time till it kills you.
Killing time till it kills you.
Killing time till it kills you.
I’m sick to death with all of them.
I hate the selfish way they act.
They won’t run out fools who’d laugh along
to all their stupid jokes.
Fend for yourself in a superficial world.
Where you’re from, who you kiss.
I give two shits and why can’t everyone?
Dance like everyone’s watching.
Sing like everyone’s listening,
like everyone’s listening.
I’m sick to death with all of them.
Self righteous and ignorant.
Always quick to point their fingers,
lame on words when they’re alone.
Fend for yourself and to hell with their demands.
They worry how we look or dress?
I‘d say fuck them.
Living well’s the best revenge.
Dance like everyone’s watching.
Sing like everyone’s listening,
like everyone’s listening.
LIFE IN GENERAL
A million cars pushing down the street
Everyone’s trying to make ends meet
More sports, less alcohol.
Think I just might start smoking tomorrow.
Life in general must be some kinda joke.
I just don’t seem to get it
Bills to pay, and deadlines to meet,
and bills to pay, and some shit to do
So you found Jesus and that’s good for you.
I’ve read some Stephen Hawking. Good for me.
And if heaven‘s just upstairs, man you gotta be going.
If it’s all God-given,
then so’s the headache that’s keeping you from sleeping.
Life in general must be some kinda joke.
No one seems to get it.
All those bills to pay, and deadlines to meet,
and bills to pay, and things to do that really need to get done,
and they just cant wait, no.
Hands up for the new year,
and just like every new year it’s gonna be so much better.
For all I know, my back hurts.
I’ve got more grey hairs and I’m just getting old.
Maybe at least I’ll start smoking, eventually.
PEACE AND LOVE
The future’s coming and it‘s coming
until it‘s gone.
The dummies will stay dumb forever
they’re just breeding more.
I’m as doomed as anyone.
They’re getting strapped to their teeth.
More money for the militarrry.
I guess it helps you sleep.
Peace and love.
Peace and love if it was up to us.
But the world’s history is a mushroom cloud.
Run for cover.
Aeroplanes cut neon skies
and slowly disappear.
Our decay looks beautiful,
Yeah why should care?
So where do we go on holidays?
Take me somewhere
white men installed peace
and air conditioned hotel rooms.
Peace and love.
Peace and love if it was up to us.
But the world’s history is a 💥.
Run for cover.
The horrors of the world are closing in.
Wish I had some hope left to soothe you now,
but I’ve run dry.
The future’s coming and it’s gonna kill.
Peace and love.
ARMAGEDDON
Vote the biggest dumbass
to be in charge of our damnation.
Get it over with.
Yeah, just get it over with.
You work in simple ways,
And you run on greed and hate.
You’re out of your mind.
What’s up with your common sense?
Here’s a drug called fear.
They slip it into your drink and you’re watching.
You’re armed like armageddon,
and moved your shit
into thick walls of concrete.
Another dumb patriot, who sends his prayers
to Christ and Charlton Heston.
A flag in the yard and pride up the ass.
Just what the fuck is in your head?
Oh what a fool you are
to be fucked over like that.
How can a brain be washed that easily?
Oh what a fool you are
And you don’t even notice.
You’re out of your mind.
What’s up with your common sense?
YEAH, WHATEVER
I quit your shit talking monologue hours ago
when my brain shut down
and my eyes rolled backwards.
Apparently, you haven’t noticed.
I guess you just never notice much of anything.
I’m watching your mouth move
and words just keep dropping out.
Talking to you’s a waste of time.
Standing here’s just a waste of time, too.
Yeah sure you‘ve joined the army and
yeah well I sure didn’t.
You’re talking war, and I wonder
how you spend your life being this giant piece of crap.
Watching our kids play,
you say all the boys are turning soft.
How do you like my flower shirt?
Do you actually think I even give a fuck?
I grab my mind and I’m drifting off.
We’re back when you’re done.
All I’ve got to say to you is yeah, whatever, you know.
Who really cares what you think?
In the end it’s none of your fucking business anyway.
Yeah, whatever, you know.
GREAT BLUE SKIES
It’s just another day of losing a hopeless fight.
You can wage your war against time
the same you can run with two broken legs.
Well, you can try anyway.
If anyone’s ever died for our sins,
we’re free to do whatever our black souls command.
Another good sip out of a glass half empty
before we spill the rest and die from laughter.
You can listen to their bullshit once in a while.
It’ll make you regret you’ve got ears every time.
Last time I checked with the world outside
everyone was just acting out of their minds.
Why waste time fitting into some stupid shape
that they‘ve got hammered into their heads?
We love and we live and we do as we please.
If they don’t approve, oh who gives a shit.
I’m looking up into great blue skies.
Heart beating and a future open wide.
They said we’ll quit the music and skating
once we start a job.
Don’t know what they were thinking?
I’m in the back watching the clouds.
Ears deaf, still slightly drunk.
Do what you love,
keep your head up,
never doubt yourself.
It’s great to be alive.
TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF
A head that’s filled with dreams
is all you’ll ever need.
A head full of doubts
weighs twice as much.
Walk in your own shoes.
Dream your own dreams.
with no limits ever.
with no limits ever.
I hope that you become
anything you‘ll ever dream.
Others grow up to fall in line.
They’re cut to shape and they fit in well.
They love the weirdos,
but they’re afraid to be weird.
And in the end
what have they got to tell?
Keep on chasing joy
all across the universe.
Be kind and be brave.
Be yourself and no one else.
when there’s dark clouds over you
always remember they won’t last.
The sun’s gonna shine.
Sometimes all it takes is
time.
take take the weight off
take take the weight off
take take the weight off
I‘d love to take take the weight off
take take the weight off
take take the weight off
Wish I could take
take the weight off
take take the weight off
