Hard As
01:26
|
|

The muscles flex so hard
The music gets lost
Trying so hard to be tough
But what comes across?
Bigotry and violence
Achievements to be proud
But who gives a fuck
As long as the music’s loud
An idea whose time has come - it came and went, sorry guys
Oh, so, harder than harder than hard
So unconcerned with your actions
So unconcerned with this divisive show of force
Where are the ideas
to be retrieved?
They’re nowhere.
And there’s nothing left
Fucking nothing at all

Our Scene
00:17
|
|
||
Blindfolded youth afraid to hear
Others speak their mind
Accepted conditions – Acceepted topics
Nothing left to talk about
Scene full of violence
Closed ears & minds
Hang out with your friends and weapons
NY? Who gives a shit...

On the Need To
01:07

On the need to need
I think I do
And I'll never see how that's wrong
Try to deny humanity – Silly human
Wake up and your whole life will be gone
Another human, looking towards the heavens
So above and aloof with self-centered "purity"
On the need to hold, to touch
I'll please guilty
But your courts emit no judgements to which I'll abide
The folly you use to divide falls flat
Give no reason to pretend or to hide
Reaching for the stars
Another goddamn human
Such a shame
Do books define your feelings?
On the need to be
Existence
So often such a trying task
But when desire falls victim
To repression
How long will this "virtue" last
Trying to prolong life - Wishful thinking
So above aloof
Just another human

Decide
01:08

Made a date and broke it once again,
should I have been surprised?
Yet I dropped by your work just to talk
And you gave me those eyes
Oh that smile & silver tongue worked overtime
But why can't I rely?
You've got me on this roller coaster ride
Why can't you just decide?
Maybe you feel it
And maybe you don't
Tell me you will when I know that you won't
Should I learned by now to never trust that feeling inside
Well, somehow - I think I'll survive
Spent last night sitting in and playing records
And waiting for you to call
But not a ring did happen, man
You knew that I was home
These expectations I place
Built up a certain feeling in my mind
Yet in actual practice and no more theories
Once again I'm left behind
Does it at all make sense?
Maybe you feel it
And maybe you don't
Tell me you will when I know that you won't
It's a letdown
But I'll survive
Somehow - I think I'll survive

Why Suffer?
00:43
|
|
||
We read along
and turn the pages
to see the last chapter
in this book
And I... see no regrets
I’ve got no need for this world
It’s just not made for me
Eyes wide open
I see for the first time
Life and death have no meaning and I realize
Why suffer when it’s all in your head?
Candles aboud, and these tears of emptyness
The meanings lost behind
a veil of propriety
Why live a life
so irrationably based?
The end faces us all
It’s not too much to grasp

A Day to Fight For
00:38
|
|
||
This life's not for apologies, excuses or justifications
It's not for running or hiding or pretending to be anything at all
Stand hard against their lies
Never compromise the position
Why not be Gay and be loud?
It's time to fight discrimination
We're not sick or perverted
Don't need pity or patronization
We're queer now and always were
No matter what idiocy you say
We cannot rest
So much to do
The rights you take for granted
Are ones you never knew
Working for a day of peace for Lesbians and Gays
and a world where no one is afraid to say
I am what I am - nothing more, nothing less
A day to fight for
A day to strive for

Me and John Jersey
We needed a laugh
So down we went to Giants Training Camp
We got some pictures and we got some autographs
We met the Giants at Giants training camp
Giants Training Camp
Giants Training Camp
Giants Training Camp

Just Say GO!
00:23
|
|

I've got not time to sit down
No time to waste
I've got so much to do
Ain't got not time to wait
No, I can't spare no time for you
'Cos you move way too slow
I've got no time to stay
I've just got time to go - GO!
