Social incompetence you´re talking loud, but saying nothing / you have no clue, you´re fantasizing you claim engagement would take us further / you lack ideas, we don´t get together in your own world you lead the trend / and it´s your aim all the others to bend the unprepared you´re hypnotizing / I know that game, you´re cheating and lying speak true words to me don´t tell stories you know they ain´t real communication is a one way street reminds me just of one president´s tweet your bliss is your ignorance with distorted perceptions that is what your nature is: crippled social competence but beware! don´t expect! hear my words! just don´t take my respect for guaranteed you aim to shine the brightest star / in your personal kingdom you give a fuck about people´s things / or any opinion your view is right, you´re never wrong / the one and only way is yours, you won! all the others were just satellites / resources to exploit, that´s what counts you live in your dream world there´s no believe in just one word you only celebrate your fantasy far away from reality your bliss is your ignorance with distorted perceptions that´s what your nature is: crippled social competence but beware! don´t expect! hear my words! just don´t take my respect for guaranteed Liar! You´re a liar! You bloody scumbag turn good vibes into hate and fire

Limited Brain 04:04
lyrics

Limited Brain I´m fine with my limited brain the single output for just one question More of that would drive me insane I can´t deal with too much suggestion An easy story contains just one plot In real life you´ll have quite a lot of that Many of yours won´t make it through Ending up wasted and frustrated too Trust me life is easier - having just no clue Better you train your limited brain to process just simple facts Too much performance will drive you insane Better don´t think about the world´s gone nuts I´m fine with my limited brain Processes data for just one task There is no danger for headaches and pain Short-time confusion just won´t last Limited! just one solution Limited! no need for brain pollution Limited! the chance to be Limited! easy! and feelin´ free I don´t read the intellectual menu I feel no need to try something new I´ll choose the right way for me, the most convenient, simply mainstream Don´t try another lifestyle or venue There´s no need to try something new I know the only way for me, the most convenient, simply mainstream Shout out loud: wracking my brain is no option There´s no doubt: I want a storyboard with a conclusion It´s a fact: I give a fuck about your know-all suggestion Just respect: things I don´t get them all, mostly inscrutable I´m not sorry for my limited brain I like that output for tricky questions Complex thoughts would drive me insane Can´t deal with too many options You better train your limited brain To process just simple facts Too much performance will drive you insane Better don´t think about the world has gone nuts Limited! just one solution (...) I´m a Low brain!

Inside Hope Day by day I see deep thoughts that are haunting you Light fades away, I don´t know what you´re going through If there´s a chance to ease your bitter agony That would be my wish, it would raise hope in me If I could see the monsters I would fight them away Yes, I can feel your sorrows That are haunting all your days Day by day I see deep thoughts haunting you Light faded away, imagine what you went through Yes, there is a chance to ease your bitter agony That is my wish, there´s raising hope in me Salvation is near No more pain and no more fear If I could fight the doubts and the nightmares too and the pain that follows I would break it - yes! - in two Salvation is near No more pain and no more fear I will catch your fall Trust me, hope! that´s all you have to do

Ekelpaket Du bist ein armer Wicht, denn Du merkst ja nicht was Mensch so über Dich spricht, hinter deinem Rücken sitzt man zu Gericht Du bist ein armer Wicht, der Hochmut steht Dir im Gesicht Scheinst in Wahrheit als kleines Licht, nur ein Popanz ohne jegliches Gewicht Hör mal zu und halt die Klappe! Ja, Du da mit der Narrenkappe Hast jetzt Pause, stopp das Nichts, was Du ständig Dir erbrichst Deine permanenten Laute sind nur Ausdruck geistiger Flaute Oh, Du bist ein toller Hecht und keiner wird Dir da gerecht Du hast für nichts und alles keinen Plan - dabei bleibt es, Chance vertan Willst nicht wirklich was bewirken - nur gut da steh´n, keinen Finger rühren Siehst gut aus und bist auch wichtig, Empathie kennst Du nur flüchtig doch mit hellem Heiligenschein willst Du Held des Universums sein Typen wir Dich gibt es zu Hauf - mach mal selbst, wir scheißen drauf zu ertragen deine Macken - ist nicht mehr lustig, nee, nicht zum lachen Du bist ein armer Wicht, denn Du merkst ja nicht was Mensch so über Dich spricht, hinter deinem Rücken sitzt man zu Gericht Du bist ein armer Wicht, der Hochmut steht Dir im Gesicht Scheinst in Wahrheit als kleines Licht, nur ein Popanz ohne jegliches Gewicht Willst Du den großen Boss bloß spielen, Superlativen bilanzieren „ich will das jetzt! macht Ihr mal hinne!“ sitzt fett im Netz, Du dicke Spinne Am Ende heisst´s, was auch passiert, Du hast´s gestemmt, jetzt wird kassiert Da muss man schon dem Drange trotzen, Dir einfach vor den Latz zu kotzen Ich hab kein Bock mehr auf die Scheiße, werd mich nicht mehr zusammenreißen Wann kapiert die dumme Welt, dass Du spielst nur Ihren Held Zeit wird´s nicht mehr dem Drang zu trotzen, dir einen vor den Latz zu kotzen Zeit wird´s dass das Ekelpaket, unehrenhaft entlassen von der Bühne geht Du bist ein armer Wicht (...)

Krautz (of the 21st century – Skinheads dead) 03:42
lyrics

Krautz (of the 21st century – Skinheads dead) Come on little motherfucker suck my dick. Isn´t it the thing that your mind is sick? You tiny faggots can´t tell me lies. I ever disliked you kind of guys. You shaved your hair screaming shit in the air. With you there´s nothing I wanna share. So piss of now, fuck yourself, go ahead! Out of my way, your idea is dead! Skinheads dead! Krautz! You shaved your hair, screaming shit in the air. With you there is - nothing I wanna share. Racism changed somehow, looks like my neighbor now, I don´t know what to know about - about the new Krautz. The changes now I see, racism turned mainstream. That´s what we have to deal with - just new styled weird Krautz. Shouting out loud their fears, mixed slogans no ideas, radical stupid dreams - unlike the old Krautz? Skinheads dead! Strange symbols everywhere, disgusting they don´t care, still screaming shit in the air - just like traditional Krautz. There´re no more Springer boots. Establishmental fools, angry birds rule now - the scene of weird Krautz. Strange crowded planless scene, I don´t get what they mean. They just march and scream: „we are the real Krautz!“ Skin, what´s your aim instead? It´s not enough to shave your head I guess your scene is dead - replaced by weird Krautz. Skinheads dead! You shaved your hair, screaming shit in the air, with you there is - nothing I wanna share. Racism changed somehow, looks like my neighbor now, I don´t know what to know about - about the strange Krautz. The changes now I see, racism turned mainstream. That´s what we have to deal with - with new styled weird Krautz. Shouting out loud their fears, mixed slogans no ideas, radical stupid dreams - same shit as the old Krautz did! Skinheads dead!

Think first! Then talk! 03:55
lyrics

Think first! Then talk! Think first! Then talk! A word is a sword! Think first! Then talk! A cruel word could be a sword By claiming the strangers are to blame, you´re ignoring the facts For you it´s always the ugly others that stink like rats If allegations spread viral, it finally happens, offending and impertinent words turn into weapons. Think first! Then talk! Think about, your word is a sword Think first! Then talk! Your word cuts like a sword You created dangerous species with no controls, to infect the people to mutate into brainless dolls Is that your desire or are you blinded by mistake? Abuse of freedom of speech that´s your business Incendiary words were spoken and then it's too late. Think first! Then talk! Think first! Think about what to talk! Yes, there are rumors in the street day after day Opposing parties spread hatred in every way First radicalism, then brutal roughness Out of control until there is death on both sides Stop! Poisoning of people's thoughts Stop! Trivialization of aggressive tunes Stop! Moral depravity Stop! Inflation of insanity Don't blame others for your own false Imagine you would suffer from racist taunt What the fuck you think you are doin´? Your aggression against the house we live in brings it to ruin Serious you mean it, despite your excuses But a leader should beware of headless speech and hate and roughness Think first! Then talk! Think about what to talk!

Solidarity on top We are the people and we shaped the land Cultural achievements just not built on sand We have the duty and that´s just one fact Social essentials to defend and protect Inner voice proclaims a prophecy, the need to fight brutalization of society We face jealousy, hate and pure grudge From mental terrorism and human sludge We want to be welcomed, demanding our rights So every fellow we have to grant all the same things are you handy? are you noxious? gave you pleasure? who is scum? do you believe in morality? solidarity on top? am I useful? am I harmful? gave I fun? or am I scum? do I believe in morality? solidarity on top? Inner voice proclaims a prophecy, the need to fight brutalization of society Every subject should be rich by his rights Inequality is fundamental cause for future fights We are the people and we shaped the land Cultural achievements just not built on sand We have the duty and that´s just one fact Social essentials to defend and protect Yes I believe in morality! Solidarity on top!

Freier Fall 04:50
lyrics

Freier Fall Du strebst der Sonne entgegen, sag, was hält dich noch hier? „das Leben kann mir nichts mehr geben“, ist ein Gedanke von Dir Je weiter entfernt von der Welt, das treibt Dich an Je höher der Flug desto größer der Kick, nicht nur dann und wann Du fühlst Dich frei und erfüllt, hast das Licht geseh´n Die Lösung für alles erfüllt dein Gehirn, so oft möchtest Du geh´n Bewusstsein erweitert, in Watte gepackt, glaubst Du fest Du könntest weit weg und in die Sphären entflieh´n ohne Sicherungsnetz (doch:) Warum glaubst Du kann der Mensch nicht fliegen? Höhenflüge, wie Du sie willst, sind schwer zu erleben Deine Wünsche sind arg übertrieben Den freien Fall kann ich Dich nicht lehren Blutzirkulierende Weisheit kann nicht für ewig sein Erfahrungen die Du erträumt hast, sind nicht wirklich Dein Die Realität holt Dich ein, egal, wo Du bist Besser, Du erkennst den Betrug, bevor Du noch tiefer fällst Warum glaubst Du kann der Mensch nicht fliegen? Höhenflüge, wie Du sie willst, sind sehr schwer zu erleben Deine Wünsche sind ganz arg übertrieben Einen freien Fall kann ich Dir nicht empfehlen Denn der Mensch kann nicht fliegen So ein freier Fall ist schwer zu überleben

Trying out new ways in songwriting, music changed from RAGATAG Rock'n Ska into a 70's PUNK, 80's New Wave (incl. electronic) and Rock crossover. Simply: catchy tunes and mostly telling stories about our weird world and some human fleabags. ... more
