Animal House
Morning is breaking with death on the street
Driving downtown in a red corvette
The daemons and satans are creeping around
La nights are madhouse nights
The murderers — are heroes
They’re speeding all over the town
And justice — is drunken
Im tumbling upside down
Im a madman
Living in an animal house
Im a madman
Living in an animal house
Living in an animal house
Rockers in concert are serving the bible
Praying in public is getting a habit
For selling out everything seems to be right, oh yeah
The sunset is crowded with tramps passing out
They’re sleeping — in trash cans
There’s witchcraft in everyones eyes
Satans and daemons
All dressed up in suits and ties
Im a madman
Living in an animal house
Im a madman
Living in an animal house
Madman — going crazy — living in an animal house
Im a madman...
Break The Rules
Everything is wrong, yet they all deny it
But the time will come, when they can’t hide it
Somebody says hey man- what’s up with you
I say just make way cause Im sick of you
Sick n tired of no good two faced liars
Buck here- buck there, that’s their sole desire
Leaders always put your life in fear
I don’t wanna see the world disappear
You got to burn it up- burn it up tonight
Cause the time has come for us- to put it right
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn em down with fire
No good thinking you don’t have the power
Cause it’s coming soon it’s gonna be our finest hour
All I do is smile because Ive been thru this before
I know just how to play this game- Im kicking down your door
You got to burn it up- burn it up tonight...
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn em down with fire
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn em down with fire

He is a man forced to live with the rats

Two Faced Woman
Miles from home
So many things go round
So far — the fight in me so strong
Years of pain
Ive suffered all the same
Today — I know I will be near
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
Cause you’re a two faced woman
But Im a three faced man
Cause you’re a two faced woman
I got a hangmans hand
Dirty tricks
I found out just in time
Enough — don’t dare to cross the line
You — you fooled around
I found a way out
The tables turned — your bridges burned
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
Cause you’re a two faced woman
But Im a three faced man
Cause you’re a two faced woman
I got a hangmans hand
Cause you’re a two faced woman
But Im a three faced man
Cause you’re a two faced woman
Youll live in nightmare land
Payback time — spin the dime
The balance overdue
Payback time — take a hike
You broke the golden rule
Cause you’re a two faced woman
But Im a three faced man
Cause you’re a two faced woman
I got a hangmans hand
Cause you’re a two faced woman
But Im a three faced man
Cause you’re a two faced woman
You’ll live in nightmare land
Metal Eater
It slits you up- deep inside
It hits you here right between your eyes
Its somehow evil- red-hot and weird
A dangerous feeling- you never want it
It turns you inside out
Don’t know why I can’t beat it
It feels like burning steel
It sounds like grinding metal sheets
Metal eater- it always gets you

If you would know- how to stop
But you’re hooked to the bandits for your life
And as you see it- it’s better than to run

Don’t know why I can’t beat it
It feels like burning steel
It sounds like grinding metal sheets

Desperate Balls
Future Land
It’s a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can’t stand it anymore
All those nightmares — endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of the darkness
Into a land of light
See the world with different eyes
There’s something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You’d better not fall behind
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t take me to the future land
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t take me to the future land
And now I’ve had enough of this ride
Just let me out of this game
So many reasons to step out and pay
Everyday it’s the same
No more hiding — deep inside me
The pictures start to be real
You’d better listen to your heartbeat again
I know I wanna be free
See the world with different eyes
There’s something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You’d better not fall behind
Don’t take me to tomorrow (oh, no)
Don’t take me to the future land (no lying — anymore)
Don’t take me to tomorrow(mmmh, I)
Don’t wanna see the future land
Don’t take me to tomorrow (into the land of light)
Don’t take me to the future land
Don’t trade your life for sorrow (reach out for the paradise)
Stop longing for the future land
So many feelings deep in your heart
Don’t you believe in this dream
So don’t hide them deep inside you
Let them out this time, yeah
Don’t take me to tomorrow (no lying anymore)
Don’t take me to the future land (oh no)
Don’t take me to tomorrow (don’t take me away)
Don’t take me to the future land (without day or night)
Don’t trade your life for sorrow (oh no)
Stop longing for the future land (for the land of light)
It’s a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can’t stand it anymore
All those nightmares — endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of the darkness
Into a land of light
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t take me to the future land
Don’t take me to tomorrow
Don’t wanna see the future land
Don’t trade your life for sorrow...
Independance Day
One electrified eye
Freezing metalized smile
No more cheating the code
The scene is set — emotions disconnected
Welcome to the cyber trail
Laser cops and sirens wail
Held down with magnetic force
Said: come with us — you broke the law
Obey the rules — don’t do no wrong
A thought too loud — and crime is done
No appeal for the common man
Just cold hard facts — in computer land
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
Cyborg arms put the straps around
One more second ’till the switch comes down
Flaching lights — a cage of steel
Turns my head into a dead dogs meal
In this world — robotic rage
You’ll understand the acid pain
Do no right — you won’t last long
Remote controlled — under the heel of submission
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No remorse — for human kind
No recourse — to keep your mind
It’s too late — there’s no escape
Is this the end of the line
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There’s no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No use for humanity
We’ll never ever be free again
No tomorrows
Zero — the number of the year
Zero — the number of the year
They Want War
They are young and they’re kids
And believe what they see
To do what they’ve been told
And so they walk away with open eyes
Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly, and no one knows
Who they are, they’re smaller than the gun they load
See their eyes open wide
They died before they ever cried
They die in the streets and they die in the fields
When they do what they’ve been told
But now they’re lying dead
Their eyes are closed
Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly and no one knows
Who they are, they’re smaller than the gun they load
See their eyes open wide, they died before they ever cried
Who taught them how, how to pray
Who told them they’re in paradise when they’re gonna die
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war...
Youre gonna pay the price, you little devil in disguise
For taking life with no regard, you’ll go to hell
And there you’ll burn
Children in the battlefield, please don’t go
Little birds with fluttering hearts, please don’t go
In The Darkness
Why am I here now
What have I done
Running on empty — I got nowhere to run
Cant get an answer
Cant get it right
Just try to make it
Till the end of the night
Is there a way to avoid doing wrong
Lead me away from the darkness
Light up my day show me where I belong
Please don’t leave me all alone in the darkness
Far in the distance
There is night, there is day
Sounds are waving nets of dismay
Sometimes Im stuck in a shocking delay
Like in a slow motion movie
Im reaching out for something to hold
Life slips away in the cold — in the cold
My heart is so cold — my heart is so cold
Why was I turned down
What’s going on
I wish there was something that could have been done
How can I get there
Where is the light
How can I make it
Till the end of the night
How can I turn darkness to light
Leaving my fear in the darkness
Is there a way how can I overcome
My restless nights and my fear — and my fear
In the darkness — in the darkness — in the darkness
Freelance Man
You are a nothing and deceased
You aint alive at all
Don’t try to be sensible
Ill bang your head on the wall
I got no time to be locked in
Im a dangerous son
Youre always second
Im the number one
Hail the battle
Take a bow
Monumental
Gonna stand my ground

Heart of steel — twisted feel — Im no easy ride
You will never ever lock me up tight
Cause Im a freelance man
And Im breaking and Im taking tonight
No mistake — don’t dictate — Im no easy ride
Don’t you never ever lock me up tight

You make me contemptible
Ill bury you in a hole
Its better you to be locked in
Ill be a terrible guard
Youll never matter

Hail the battle, ...
Cause Im a freelance man, ...
Turn on your brain before you talk
It was no secret what I am
You rue the day — youve been done over
Im just a freelance man
Hail the battle, ...
Cause Im a freelance man, ...
No Limit
One life — never been a riddle
Black nights — live it to the max
It’s all extremely done

Under a blood red sun

Once and for all — once and for all — yeah
We got no limits — no hideaway
We got no limits — live today
We got no limits — the only way to stay
We got no limits
Ev’rybody live the life
