Kids of the century

(Kiske)

We poison our hearts, we poison our seas
We burn down the paradise
We're stopping good waves, we're losing our trees
The future looks bright ahead

I don't wonder
We'll go under in this river of lies

We're lost in this time, we create so fine
The future we already fear
Seems like no way out, seems like there's no doubt
The future looks bright ahead

We're the kids of the century, we're lost in our games
No time for the memories, we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century, it wasn't our fault
Everything's done mum, we fall

Let's keep on crying
But sometimes I don't wanna fall

Everytime when you look around things will smile at you
Everytime when you turn around you smell the truth
But you run away from the lies you can't say
Don't run away from the lies you can't say

We're the kids of the century, we're lost in our games
No time for the memories, we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century, it wasn't our fault
Everything's done mum, we fall

Let's keep on crying
But sometimes I don't wanna fall



Back on the streets

(Grapow/Kiske)

I've been told in the name of something
I've got to know what it means to play the game
Too many faces around, they're talking
They play their parts, oh, so well but who's to blame?

Back on the streets
That's where we are
Building a fortress of power
Yeah! We're coming

You know better than me the rules are:
Getting better or fat in the mania
It's good to know who is who in our game
The speed is faster, it's harder to see where we are

Back on the streets
That's where we are
Building a fortress of power
Yeah! We're coming

Please, Mister Know-How, just bring me the news
I'm waiting so long for you telling me all you can tell
There's one thing about you you're dying to prove
The master plan is yours and living with knowledge is hell

Back on the streets
That's where we are
Building a fortress of power
Yeah! We're coming



Number one

(Weikath)

Each time when one more year was over
You refused to hear heaven's bells sound
And the happiness in you heart's been set lower
You were searching for friends but no one seemed to be 'round

You merely should think of the good times
'Cause there are so many ways you can go
Take a look at yourself, you're still very young
And big aims always take very long

Now it's time for happiness
Stay hard and trust your fate
Don't forget you're something else
You'll never be too late

Trust your father's mighty spell
You'll never be alone
Fate will always turn out well
And you'll be number one

Shout at the world, don't care what they say
'Cause your life is now, here and today
Luck is there, everywhere
Go on, reap its goods, that's the way

You wanna have truth, relief from your pain
But life takes its toll again and again
Don't fear the night, your future is paid
And the tracks to your aims are laid

Now it's time for happiness
Stay hard and trust your fate
Don't forget you're something else
You'll never be too late

Trust your father's mighty spell
You'll never be alone
Fate will always turn out well
And you'll be number one



Heavy metal hamsters

(Weikath/Kiske)

There's some fellows soft and mellow
Sitting in the field and play like hell
No one knows the way it goes
But all the songs they play, they sound so well

Tonight we'll go to see the heavy metal hamsters
It must feel nice to be a heavy metal hamster
Nothing sets you free like our heavy metal hamsters

A 20'th century Fox came by
A gold tipped cigarette high in his jaws
Contracts, PD's, nose bags, TV shows
And everything with no remorse

Things are settled now for our heavy metal hamsters
Fame up to your brows, oh, heavy metal hamster
A previously unknown lifestyle, heavy metal hamster

The sweet taste of success is strong
And everything inside goes wrong, you see
With coloured furs, sunglasses
Tons of nuts to eat, they don't feel free

What is wrong with our heavy metal hamsters?
Look what they have done, our heavy metal hamsters
Where is the field to run for our heavy metal hamsters?
Some things are left undone for our heavy metal hamsters



Goin' home

(Kiske)

You think I could be the one
To look inside your mind
Now I don't think we'll have the time
So let us get in line

Another town, another bed
Another thing to go
By now I learned to take it cool
But I don't wanna know

My head is empty
All the stories that I've known I've told
The situation I escaped from
Now it looks like gold

Anyway and anyhow
We did it, it was good
But now I take the time to think
'Bout everything I should

'Cause after this, I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead

I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you

By the time that you think 'bout it twice
No spotlight makes you stay
By the time that you feel you don't know
You have to go

The plane is ready in my head
So many things to do
A few more hours 'till it's over
I reach out for you

A kind of peace inside is growing
Thinking 'bout the shows
Until the next time, I'll be so much better
Yes, I know

Now this is it, I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead

I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you



Someone's crying

(Grapow)

What keeps on telling me
To stay on the way I chose?
What keeps on giving me
All the strength to carry on?

Give me some time, can't sleep anymore at night
I wanna show I'm here with an aim of mine

'Cause I feel strong
But someone is crying, I know
It's so hard to find
A sign of a way to go

Don't need to stone my brain
I need my head for something else
I wanna live and learn
Step by step, I'm going on

Send me a sign, don't wanna resign too soon
What situation will come? I can't endure

'Cause I feel strong
But someone is crying, I know
It's so hard to find
A sign of a way to go



Mankind

(Grapow/Kiske)

Here is our mankind, so proud of achievements
There is a stone that is warmer than you
Look how we stand in the stream of illusions
No one says a word

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move
There's no fear for anything
Anything but you

Animals dying for our vanity
Our world is a beautiful place to be free
Drinking the blood of the weak, it's so easy
No one hears them cry

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain
One day we will face His throne
There's nothing we can say

Prosperity, luxury, fast food is rising
It's the rainforest that dies

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move
There's no fear for anything
Anything but you

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain
One day we will face His throne
There's nothing we can say



I'm doin' fine crazy man

(Grosskopf/Grapow)

Thunder, flash and lightening is working on my back
The tables in the kitchen are trying to break my neck
All the late night memories are leaning in my shoes
My mother's old grey leather gloves are singing loud the blues

I can taste what's in the sun
No time to waste 'cause there is none
When I feel blue I see it shine
But still it's true, I'm doing fine

You can't see me
'Cause now I'm all free
Now you know I'm through
And all that's not new

Sitting on a paperback 'cause I don't know what really cracks
I'm trying to climb my pencil to get high
No one tells me what to do 'cause no one knows what I've been through
'Cause you don't know a thing but you can learn

It's time to touch the sky
My mind is free, I fly

I can taste what's in the sun
No time to waste 'cause there is none
When I feel blue I see it shine
But still it's true, I'm doing fine

You can't see me
'Cause now I'm all free
Now you know I'm through
And all that's not new



The chance

(Grapow)

We're living in a constant fight
Too much pressure everywhere and all around
Don't let it pull you down
Hold on tight, cling to your dreams

Don't you depend on someone else
Think for yourself and win the race

The chance you got comes never twice
Do your best and do it right
The time will come but don't you hide
You are on your way

You're led by God but you're not a pawn
Should live your life, don't care 'bout any scorn
Just let them fool around
No need to cry, don't give up

Try to be as smart as you can be
I know you own so much ability

The chance you got comes never twice
Do your best and do it right
The time will come but don't you hide
You are on your way



Your turn

(Kiske)

Now there is this day, a lot of things are changing
I can't just kick it away, gotta get things right
Sometimes it happens fast and nothing seems to last
The thing that I once started isn't mine anymore

I guess now it's my turn

You've got a face like a child, got a mind like a woman
Your smile is warm and tender
I hear the people say that I should stay away
From you and all the problems you might bring

They'll never know you
Nobody ever knows what to do
They'll never see you cry
They'll never know why

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all, you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life, you've got to see what it means

See the little boy holding mama's hand
His eyes can see the things we've long forgotten
The world is easy now and somehow he's right
Until there is this day when Mickey Mouse must go away

It's your turn to break free
When you want it all, you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life, you've got to see what it means

This world is crying to be free
This world is dying, can't you see?
We need a turn to do it right

We need a mind revolution
To get away from this selfishness
Stop playing blind, break free

It's your turn to break free
When you want it all, you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life, you've got to see what it means
