Angry, raw and percussive, Union Jack have been spreading their rock & roll, punk and ska influences since 1997. This distinctive combination, refined over the years, results in a unique and powerful sound, made of catchy melodies and musical dissonances
After 7 albums and EP’s, co-produced with labels Beer Records and Guerilla Asso, the power trio releases its new album “Violence”. Ten frenzied songs where energy meets rage and where lyrics deal, among others, with the position of women in the world or the illusion of choice in our democracies.
Armed with their latest release "Violence", Union Jack continue to spread their message with passion and conviction, touring frequently in Europe and Canada.
Bored of being sick, soon six feet deep My body is wrecked, my feelings are dead
Hard to find hope when you can’t even sleep My days are hell, my nights as well
I feel so bad and I’m looking so sad Nothing to lose, nothing but bad news
I need to go or I would become mad I see my time has come
Sad like the end of a book I am drifting away
The last page you never dare to look It’s only a matter of days
I'm falling falling down, I'm falling falling
Is this hell not real? I'm falling
Is this hell not real?
I am trapped in this cold reality ‘til my last breath, no escape but death
In this mirror my own worst enemy Can’t stand what I see, when I look at me
A life of pain and chemistry I guess there is no remedy
This smell of death sticks to me And darkness surrounds me
Sad like the end of a book I am drifting away
The last page you never dare to look It’s only a matter of days
Sad like the end of a book, when there's nothing behind
Sad like the end of a book
The last page you never dare to look
Is this hell not real? I'm falling
Is this hell not real? I'm falling
My own worst enemy
My own worst enemy
Burn the system down, close the circus and kill the clowns
Yeah burn, burn the system down in every city and every town
Let’s burn it fuckin down !
They say I should be moderate, but that's untrue
I’m sick and tired of shutting my mouth, when shit happens you’ve got to react
This current social violence is real and true, one three one two
And the ones who pay are us, not you
Time flies and things get worse, while the banks are doing well
The whole system is insane and keeps people enchained
And it will never stop, because we buy, they sell
The whole system is insane and keeps people enchained
Will it ever stop? Will it ever?
Will it ever stop?
Give me something good to think about and something thrilling to dream about
Inequality is what makes people shout Give us a positive vibe to hold on to
Let’s change the way it goes !
We are billions of voices Billions against their choices
Cause we’re the people
Time flies and things get worse, while the banks are doing well
The whole system is insane and keeps people enchained
And it will never stop, because we buy, they sell
The whole system is insane and keeps people enchained
Let’s change the way it goes !
And the answer is sedition!
Let’s change the way it goes !
And the answer is sedition!
Time flies and things get worse, while the banks are doing well
The whole system is insane and keeps people enchained
Will it ever stop? Will it ever?
Will it ever stop? Will it ever?
Will it ever stop?
And the answer is sedition! Will it ever stop?
Your life is what you make it When you fail you're the one to blame
Change your patterns, transcend it Follow your heart, don't listen to sirens sing
Do as you feel, make your dreams real Deal with self-doubt, trust yourself again
No rules, but the ones you’re setting Free yourself from fears
Dance in the fire, jump over barbed wire, choose where and what you want to live
And then your heart starts beating because you found life’s meaning
Dance in the fire Dance in the fire, jump over barbed wire
And then your heart starts beating because you found life’s meaning
Live each day as if it was your very last That's why we put our heart on wax
Look forward, don’t focus on the past One more promise that we can’t keep
But living is inherently risky Just follow your intuition
Mine smells like a goddamn whisky Just enjoy the best occasions
Dance in the fire, jump over barbed wire, choose where and what you want to live
And then your heart starts beating because you found life’s meaning
Dance in the fire Dance in the fire, jump over barbed wire
And then your heart starts beating because you found life’s meaning
We’re here now, trying to live somehow
We’re here now
Dance in the fire, jump over barbed wire, choose where and what you want to live
And then your heart starts beating, because you found life’s meaning
Dance in the fire, jump over barbed wire, choose where and what you want to live
And then your heart starts beating, because you found life’s meaning
I love that feeling on my skin, thrills and warmth freezing my heart from within
It’s slowly taking its toll on me, you’re both a friend and an enemy
You call it chemistry, I call it toxicity
I know I know you'll take everything from me
It’s such a trap, but I can’t do without
I know I know you'll take everything from me
It’s such a trap, but I can’t do without You feed this dark side of me
Always up to you
It’s up to you
Some say the choice is yours, quit bad habits and wildlife
Decide, oh decide and you’ll have a beautiful life
It was a dream that became hell I should have known how it would end
Yes I fell, no more stories to tell Turning from good to evil
I know I know you'll take everything from me
It’s such a trap, but I can’t do without
I know I know you'll take everything from me
It’s such a trap, but I can’t do without You feed this dark side of me
Always up to you
It’s up to you
You poison me from the gutter to bankruptcy
I know you'll take everything from me and leave me feeling empty
It’s such a trap, but I can’t do without You feed this dark side of me
I know you'll take everything from me and kill all of my energy
What are the reasons to lie about your mother’s death
Three thousand times you tried to find the reason why he lied
Some wounds just can’t be healed, when the silence is loud
Some stories are painful, they're floating in my blood
It's just a matter of time to find the truth behind the lies
Always a matter of lies to destroy a whole life
Couldn't imagine all the pain / that was hidden behind your smile.
You've been cheated, you've been betrayed, a wasted life and wasted time
How can a boy, how can a boy, how can a boy
How can a boy, how can a boy go through hardship like this
How can a boy?
Listen motherfuckers, this one’s for you
Conservative and oppressive regimes must stop, it’s over, it’s over
Misogyny and war on women must be brought to an end
Critical thinking, culture and caring Reject sexism, obscurantism
You know that religions lie And put women down Be a smart guy Open your minds
I ask for more, cause she, cause they deserve better
Now take a stand, don't judge, and try, try to understand
Now every woman has to be respected in every land
...respected in every land
Fear must change sides, to be fair, so every girl can feel safe anywhere
This bullshit’s been going on for too long, let’s smash patriarchy and right the wrong
The problem is not the way she dresses, the way she looked at you or how short her dress is
I know your behavior is just symptomatic
I Hate assholes like you, the problem is you
Rape culture destroys so many lives, let’s educate and let’s change minds
I ask for more, cause she, cause they deserve better
Now take a stand, don't judge, and try, try to understand
Now every woman has to be respected in every land
Now every woman has to be respected in every land
Equal treatment and equal rights, support the cause, let’s keep up the fight I'm by your side until things finally turn alright

I ask for more, cause she, cause they deserve better
Now take a stand, don't judge, and try, try to understand
Now every woman has to be respected in every land
Too clever to not mind, like a wolf in a cage I can’t keep my rage
I tried I can’t walk this line, time to turn the page, my place is on stage
You live, you learn, I dive, I burn, why should I suffer for what I earn?
I wanna cry, I wanna run, I wanna scream from the top of my lungs
I'm looking for some better days Live like a king Look the other way
Spending my life on holidays Reaching my dreams Always
I'm looking for some better days Live like a king Look the other way
Spending my life on holidays Reaching my dreams Always
Life’s too short to not do what I love I'm maybe older but not wiser
Don’t wanna let frustration bring me down Bored of this weight on my shoulder
Take back control before the day is done Close this chapter, time to get bolder
Goodbye routine Welcome adrenaline A life of sins, an endless spring
I'm looking for some better days Live like a king Look the other way
Spending my life on holidays Reaching my dreams Always
I'm looking for some better days Live like a king Look the other way
Spending my life on holidays Reaching my dreams Always
Frustration, frustration, yeah let it go
it's time to succumb to temptation, go go, go
Do what makes you happy, stagnation, no no no
Action! Reaction! Ignition! Let it flow!
I'm looking for some better days Live like a king Look the other way
Spending my life on holidays Reaching my dreams Always
I'm looking for some better days Live like a king Look the other way
Spending my life on holidays Reaching my dreams Always
I'm looking for some better days Live like a king Look the other way
Spending my life on holidays Reaching my dreams
Work, consume, eat and sleep
Come to the marvelous country, work, consume, eat and sleep
Public must stay in its place and yours is in the shopping malls
Go buy things which you don’t need, there are hungry mouths to feed
They profit from your obedience, jump in the customer experience
Stay passive, pay your taxes, take your chance and be a prophet for the masses
Don’t ask any questions, follow the instructions, relax and enjoy consumption
Keep focus, just notice all the goods sold by hypocrites faces
No money? Get credit to buy more stuff, you’re dying for it
Nothing’s subversive anymore, power is starving the revolt
They push you to buy more and more, their business is rotten to the core
When they control everyone's choices Your freedom is an illusion
Stop listening to these voices You’d better follow your own opinion
Work, consume, eat and sleep
Stay passive, pay your taxes, take your chance and be a prophet for the masses
Don’t ask any questions, follow the instructions, relax and enjoy consumption
Keep focus, just notice all the goods sold by hypocrites faces
No money? Get credit to buy more stuff, you’re dying for it
Stay passive, pay your taxes, take your chance and be a prophet for the masses
Don’t ask any questions, follow the instructions, relax and enjoy consumption
Stay passive, pay your taxes, take your chance and be a prophet for the masses
No money? Get credit to buy more stuff
Don’t trust them, they'll stab you in the back, they’ll steal your soul and pride like a kleptomaniac
Don’t trust them, they'll stab you in the back, they’ll steal your soul and pride like a kleptomaniac
They swear everyone’s equal, but they’re so cynical They pretend to make your life so wonderful
You sow but they reap Truth is, their only interests are political
You can believe, but you should doubt, one thing I'm sure, you will pay until your dying day They’re liars to the bone
Off with their heads
Don’t trust them, they'll stab you in the back, they’ll steal your soul and pride like a kleptomaniac
Don’t trust them, they'll stab you in the back, they’ll steal your soul and pride like a kleptomaniac
Don’t trust them Don’t trust them
We are living in this old illusion of choice
You maybe know which one you'd choose but I know all the things you’ll lose
Don’t trust them, they'll stab you in the back
Don’t trust them, they'll stab you in the back, they’ll steal your soul and pride like a kleptomaniac
Don’t trust them, they'll stab you in the back, Don’t trust them
The apple’s all rotten inside
Nothing will change my mind
Nothing will change my mind
Nothing will ever change, God bless the stock exchange
Nothing but thieves and liars, nothing but thieves and liars
You’re one in a million, so they say They manipulate you to get their way
Choose not to trust while you may Your voice never counts anyway
Doesn’t count anyway
That's why your voice will never count anyway
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway
I’ve sold my soul, I’ve lost control, I think she set me free
Here comes the night, rock & roll's bite, the light is blinding me
Nightmare or dream, I follow you, no one to trust, don't know what to do
I'm bored as hell, never feel well, except when the night rings her bell
She’s the one Wild and true I hear she calls my name, I hear she calls
She’s the one Wild and true I hear she calls my name, I hear she calls
I twist and shout through her flame
She’s the one Wild and true I hear she calls my name, I hear she calls
She’s the one Wild and true I hear she calls my name, I hear she calls
When the sun goes down, that’s when I feel alright Guided by the moonlight
And all my troubles come back, at the end of the night I’m bored and uptight
There is darkness and there is light, I need the night to write it right
I can’t stand this light, bring me the night
She’s the one Wild and true I hear she calls my name, I hear she calls
I twist and shout through her flame
Fighting my demons, as the day is done
Chasing boredom until the morning comes
I don't care, nocturne like hell, mayhem and noise yeah suit me well
I can trust you
when I am feeling blue I can trust you
when I am feeling blue I can trust you
when I am feeling blue I can trust you
I am a monomaniac, listening to the same song, over and over, day and night, two weeks long Music’s my soulmate, to me she’s perfect, as long as I’m not deaf I’ll enjoy myself It's my passion, my addiction good sound without restriction No prescription to sing this song all day long Oh sing along
There's no dosage recommendations when you choose your own medication I can’t live without music, she nurses me when I’m sick, a guaranteed result, it’s no homeopathy Music is my medicine, more addictive than heroin When I’m in lack of adrenaline Play this song again over and over again It came from my heart to your brain
Sometimes I fear, the only thing that keeps me here Are these songs and I'm never coming home son I might of dipped from the scene like soft serve ice cream But the music never left my soul, GO! I abuse the music; quarter jack attached to my vein Cause the tunes I feel the only thing that keeps me sane Hold myself hostage with one fucking song Now I'm blasting Union Jack through these headphones
There's no dosage recommendations when you choose your own medication I can’t live without music, she nurses me when I’m sick, a guaranteed result, it’s no homeopathy Music is my medicine, more addictive than heroin When I’m in lack of adrenaline Play this song again over and over again It came from my heart to your brain
You are what you listen to, so I am awesome I do hope so! Energy, Glee, Hello Nasty, The Dirty Boogie The soundtrack of my best parties!
1 pill, two pills, three pills, four, these pills just fuck you up, shut the fuck up, pick it up Bring in the medication I want my songs injection, sensations that turn my world upside down Music is my medicine, more addictive than heroin When I’m in lack of adrenaline Play this song again over and over again It came from my heart to your brain
Confront the beast every day Write, read and live your own screenplay Word after word, page after page, reading is dope when life is not Can't stop, won't stop, until I reach the final dot In a dark pub or under the sun, I devour my book and lose track of time From dusk to dawn, you can't escape when you've been caught
Once I’m done with a chapter, I can’t wait to start another I feel alive, it feeds my soul I love to be in this imaginary world Gimme some books, some sun, some booze, some rock & roll, literary chills Your life may be empty, let them feed you when you're hungry I’ve found my therapy in a library
Reading is like a drug, medicine without prescription Thank you Irvine for everything and for this great | addiction It’s my daily pleasure, more than a treasure, the most exciting leisure
Once I’m done with a chapter, I can’t wait to start another Gimme some books, some sun, some booze, some rock & roll I’m hooked on the books, my brain’s on a loop, these stories fill my dreams every time I snooze I've learned to let it go
Gimme some books, some sun, some booze, some rock & roll I’m hooked on the books, my brain’s on a loop, these stories fill my dreams every time I snooze Nothing is unreal, unless I stop dreaming, writing, smiling, reading and living I’ve found my therapy in a library
Letters on sheet give me more thrills Than TV screens A few words can brighten my day and it does work every day
I’m out tonight for some fun and action, celebration’s my part time addiction I drink when I'm blue, I should not and it’s true, it makes me smile for nothing when nothing makes me smile, it helps me to see on the other side, my glass, never empty Life feels perfect in this moment, it’s total bliss, and instant perfection
You better not know how much I must drink to run away from my reality Booze is a true friend, the reason why I can be lonely and happy Partying & drinking prevent me from thinking about all the bad things Fill my glass buddy Not over the edge just a lil’ sip Not over the edge just a lil’ sip
Don't waste my time oh no baby, I do it so well by myself lately I'm a moonshiner, a beer lover, most of the time a bad writer Just a shadow of myself, I don’t wanna be anything else I’m up for another drink, not the last probably the start of a long list
You better not know how much I must drink to run away from my reality Booze is a true friend, the reason why I can be lonely and happy Partying & drinking prevent me from thinking about all the bad things Fill my glass buddy Not over the edge just a lil’ sip Not over the edge just a lil’ sip
Blackout blackout, my turn to pay the shots, let’s party baby, gin, martini, whisky I cannot find another way to express my pain Don’t blame me, there are the rules of the game I should slow it down if I want to stay sane The idea swimming in my brain I know you hurt me I'd better drink tea
Partying & drinking prevent me from thinking about all the bad things Drinks after drinks Staying up all night, pretending I’m allright
You better not know how much I must drink to run away from my reality Booze is a true friend, the reason why I can be lonely and happy
Let’s start a new war, spread terror again Spread terror, Spread terror Our planet is your playground, don’t wanna be part of your game Spread terror, Spread terror Shoot, kill, destroy, but not in my name
Drop drop bombs, for a better future, your rules, your lies as only suture This world is sick, that's almost a culture, some starve, some binge, sad bulimia picture Sad but true but you choose we pay, somehow you know we have nothing to say You kill in our names and lie under oath, there's no shame to stimulate growth Morally wrong or right, the world is blind the world is blind
This vicious society, a so called democracy, feels like modern slavery Child labour to sew the clothes, poor workers to clean the homes Exploitation for a stronger nation
Corruption, ambition, terror and violence, fuck you it's over, people can't stand it more Resistance, persistence, I hope the day will come, the one that we were waiting for
Tear down the walls
Who sells the weapons, who feeds his greed, that kills your kids? The boomerang comes back Who pays the price when they roll the dice ? The boomerang comes back
Let’s start a new war, spread terror again Spread terror, Spread terror Our planet is your playground, don’t wanna be part of your game Spread terror, Spread terror Don’t ever wanna be part of your nasty plan Shoot, kill, destroy, but not in my name
I don't play your rules
Fuck you, let me screw who I want, don't judge me, please don't tell me What’s good or what is not for me, none of your business, I decide freely
What makes you think you can judge me, why do you think you are better than me? We're not the same, this ain't no shame I’m what I am
Let me live the way I want to Your moral values pretending to reach out to others, mind your own affairs (Love is love) No matter the gender
Nevermind what you say, no matter what you think My body belongs to nobody but me
Nevermind what you say, no matter what you think My body belongs to nobody but me
My body belongs to nobody but me
We're the fags, we're the dykes, we're Molly and Tommy Pride for L.G.B.T. and unity
Feeling like nothing but a prey, I'm not ok, I'm not ready to obey. (But) I'm ready to fight for the women’s rights to be respected, but the road is still long, I need to find the strength for this battle and carry on
I know a lot of you feel the same, It’s such a shame Not deaf not blind Not deaf not blind Not deaf not blind Everything is meant to debase women
Abused and insulted Threatened and neglected Oppressed and ill treated Ignored & Humiliated
No one reacts but everyone sees, cowardly men are guilty Signs of a sad, sick society
I know a lot of you feel the same, It’s such a shame Not deaf not blind Not deaf not blind Not deaf not blind Everything is meant to debase women
I no longer want to feel afraid Don't have to feel like this no more And still I hope for a big change There's such a lot of things to change
I remember a time when I felt alright, a wife, a home, I was on cloud nine They've made my day, lit up every day, will these feelings ever go away? In the blink of an eye, your dreams collapse, and you relapse, since that day I was fired, everything is falling fuckin'down
Cause you don’t know what it feels like, to shiver alone outside Indifference makes my heart melt, although I’m frozen on the inside Locked in the street, shuffling my feet
You can't imagine what your brain can do when you're thirsty and hungry too, I could kill for a cozy bed or just a place to rest my head Social tragedies happen every day, you’re in a dead end way (when ) there’s nothing left for you to cling to
I think of you, I wanna be you, I wanna hot meal every day Winter is long when things go wrong, I'm waiting for better days
It's like nowhere I feel at home Even if everywhere is home … rummage through your trash rummage through your trash
If I stay one more day out here, I am sure I’m gonna disappear It's cold, deep inside my bones / Living outside ruins all my hopes I feel like a shadow, I am tired and i'm so cold
Winter is long, endlessly long, your heart is cold cold as a stone Everything goes wrong, it’s hard to stay strong your heart is cold cold as a stone Winter is long, endlessly long, Everything goes wrong, Everything goes wrong
When you cant get any lower, the only way to go is up. When nothing ever seems to get better, we all feel the same, that our lives are vain Depression strikes again, no use in blaming yourself, a lower self esteem always leads to distress Don't mope, things have to change Bounce back, things always rearrange
Don't look back, keep your head up, stay strong when it’s hard to cope The future’s always brighter than the past, the worst moments don’t ever last
Trouble happens everyday, stand your ground to keep them away You're free to choose to not be sad, you only live once, life is not so bad Problems always come to an end, so don’t kill yourself
Don't look back, keep your head up, stay strong when it’s hard to cope The future’s always brighter than the past, the worst moments don’t ever last
We all have something we'd die for, a piece of happiness that we're looking for Stay focused on the best, and don’t waste yourself
Don't look back, keep your head up, stay strong when it’s hard to cope The future’s always brighter than the past, the worst moments don’t ever last Don't look back, keep your head up
Good bye summer, I will miss you We had so much fun under the blazing sun I can’t believe you’ve left, now I feel all alone Was it worth it to leave me blue? How will I ever get through? I’m bored to death without you We had the best times, us two No one could save me, save me but you
Summertime, summertime, I loved these times when we stayed up all night Summertime, summertime
Your touch was soft and pure, like a dream come true I still love you, yes I do You’re my all time favorite, on top of my wishlist I’ll marry you if you ask me to
Summertime, summertime, I loved these times when we stayed up all night Summertime, summertime, Fell in love with you at first sight Summertime, summertime
I’ll see you soon, my lovely summer
Night and day when you think that you need to leave this all behind, and clear your mind Take it like a reminder, to pack your bags, and book a flight Destination relaxation, no place for hesitation, follow your aspirations Time waits for no one, get your things done, the world is yours if you want to

It's never too late, it's never too late to find yourself. If you want something done right, do it yourself.
I'm noisy when you're quiet / I criticize when you praise I refuse when you accept / I follow my line while you compromise
I sleep when you wake up early / You sleep when I'm drinking whisky I'm dancing when you're seated Oh you and I
You walk your dog, I play with my cat / You watch when I act You give up when I’m still standing / You feel big when I'm small
It takes all sorts to make a world But maybe you’re not essential You claim we get what we deserve You get on my nerves
I laugh when you cry / I succeed when you try You’re down when I feel high / I love when you lie
Oh you and I, I wear in black when you're in white
I'm true when you're fake / I swear when you pray You're proud, I'm ashamed / You’re heaven and I'm hell You buy when I sell / you're busted when I'm saved by the bell by the bell I'll never be you and you'll never be me You’re sad and so ordinary
You're an asshole and I am not, You think you're smart, I think you're not My nights are funnier than your days, we’re different in so many ways I enjoy my life when you work hard, you’re no fun I don’t want you around I party when you go to bed
I often think about the person that you would become, But it's a waste of time cause my friend you're gone, and since you're gone life's a bit less fun Time eases pain, words can do so too, I was so down when we lost you I wish you were still around
You left a place empty Like a party with no whisky A wilted flower, a broken dream, you meant a whole lot to our team A void that never will be filled, a pain that won’t ever be healed
The world has changed, not for the best, conformism has won the game We see the same brands everywhere, I see the same bands everywhere From NYC to Tokyo, overwhelmed with commercial logos Standardized music for the masses, if you were still here we’d kick some asses
World is so sad below now Hipsters play on my stereo Not a pretty picture, what about the future? Mediocrity is taking over, we expected something better We all miss you back here
You left a place empty, like a party with no whisky A void that never will be filled, a pain that won’t ever be healed
We are we are not all the same Originality’s not a shame, enjoy your life outside the frame I wish you were still around
You left a place empty A fuckin’ place empty
There was a time when music meant something. Punk was a sound, a working class alarm, Call it rebellion, revolution, but never fashion. Fuck these clichés, fuck these kids and their dress codes. Punk means freedom you probably missed or misunderstood something. This world is sad, apathetic and amnesic. I'm bored of hearing the same songs, from the same bands, see the the same brands in every fuckin citiy all around the world. Capitalism breeds conformity, and we're all guilty, conformism is capitalism's weapon. Everybody watches and likes the same movies, reads the same books, it's so boring, don't forget we are fucking unique
Kill, kill, kill, is the aim that is proclaimed War has been declared There’s no survivor in this game All doomed in the end Old, young, male and female, it’s all the same, its helpless targets Millions of prey will pass away
Who's to blame when you're disarmed to fight pain? Battle’s unfair, there’s no happy end It took my child, my love away and soon enough it will catch me If god exists, please let me know what it means You can pray, you can pay, but your loved ones will die anyway
The fight is lost before it started No matter the therapy> When the disease strikes with no mercy You can’t be saved by the chemistry You can’t escape your destiny, just a number among the casualties It crushes you insidiously, no one has found a remedy
Struggle in vain, then believe again. This vicious enemy has come to get you Silent, hidden, this shit will only take, the best of you, the best of you It will never leave you alone Like your own shadow, worse than thousands of black widows Nothing but skin and bones, a damn scarecrow, weakened before the deathblow
Who’s the next in line in this death row, Here comes the deadline the countdown ends now And you fell apart Too soon, too fast It stopped your heart, destroyed you at last Rest in Peace Now you've been released You will be missed Forever be missed Rest in Peace Now you've been released Forever, Forever
Just one more shot, strong like a bomb, I've only one knee on the ground With or without, I’m already drowned I hit the bottle, ease the pain, forget the troubles of my soul, Facing the wall once again, I feel like I’ve lost control
… I never thought I’d get so low Day after day, I sink How could I let all my dreams go? Sip after sip I swear to quit Can’t crawl out of this hole I fell into Some choose to live, I chose to drink
I just can't stop. Booze makes me blind I can’t restrain myself I’m not so fine when reality comes to my mind I’d truly love to free myself and start it all over again All over again But I confess I’m not against just one last glass to kill the night
So long so wrong I built my own tomb that’s all I’ve done, see what I’ve become Can’t count the tears I spent to drink They’re lost forever in the sink Day after day, I sink My will is strong but my body’s weak Sip after sip I swear to quit Take me out, show me the exit Shut off my thirst before I’m dust Calm down the beast, break the habit May I have one for the road ?
Life is short, life is now, what you reap is what you sow It may take years to understand, because things never go as planned Don't be fooled, you've been schooled, the media spread lies Don’t be surprised! I think it’s time for you to realize Laziness is killing you smoothly, Too many years wasted in front of the screen Think for yourself, don’t swallow their stories Read more books and throw your tv out!
Change the channel, do your own thing Turn off the radio and live for real The clock is ticking, my friend, the night comes to an end, another day in vain Again and again Time flows, no procrastination, Action Reaction, two different options
This whole system’s built to keep you enslaved Then they make believe that they make the war for peace So question everything, all information is biased Complete the puzzle, some pieces are missing Misinformation is a common weapon, mass alienation is called communication So stop watching it, and get up from your seat! Do things for real, you won’t be deceived!
There are so many facts that you can't deny You’re only good to buy, you’re hypnotized The tv stupefies. Wake up, open your eyes Manipulated, like if you’ve been blinded You’ve better things to do than waiting to die Cut down the puppets’ strings
I am so wild that I can’t be tamed, a tormented soul not for sale, Excuse me baby I can't be chained, so I wrote this song to explain Got so many troubles that they can't be named, I’m not easy to understand, Misanthropist I must admit but I am working on it My heart is filled with sorrow, inside tears flow But I have never shown I’m lonely but glad to be free, don’t stick with me, you’ll never catch me
You’d better be reckless I’m not easily impressed I want you to know, I'm cynical, too critical, and hard to control We all have our faults, be patient and lenient, meet me in my wildcats paradise
I’m sensitive, not negative That's what I will try to make you believe Wistful feelings torment my dreams I try to forget and even to forgive Living with me ain't easy. I need to learn diplomacy Like a fine wine I get better with age, but for some things, I can’t turn the page
You’d better be reckless I’m not easily impressed I want you to know, I'm cynical, too critical, and hard to control
I’m torn apart, I feel so sick inside, I’m all worn out, so please stand by my side I’ll take you for an introspective ride, you might find out the secrets that I hide
You’d better be reckless, I’m not easily impressed I want you to know, I'm cynical, too critical, and hard to control We all got our faults, be patient and lenient Meet me in my wildcats paradise
Stand back from our damn mass consumption The snake’s biting its tail and shows no reaction We are customers and therefore concerned We must think more responsibly Tons of useless items, overproduction, food bleached in the dustbins for no reason, while people die in the streets from starvation, the system goes on... Take the stand respond for all your actions, Wash these blooded hands and stop filling the garbage We'd better understand before it’s too late Consume the less we can and we’ll feel better then
Humankind can’t get so blind this will lead us all to destruction Life is not buy, buy and die try to opt for a different option Take a breath and feel alive feel alive, feel alive Don’t need no ads to survive to survive, to survive
Set new rules and engage in action Find a new balance, another direction There’s not even time for hesitation Change must be done with massive conviction We’ve all got the choice yeah think it twice or we’ll pay the invoice so become wise The things that you think you need are superficial They give you a feeling of joy that’s artificial Consumption’s encouraged by the many commercials We should all go for a quick return to the essential Please beware of this needless production Choose, don’t suffer, stop alienation It depends on you and me we can go for sobriety Or we’d be guilty of what we’ll see it’s our responsibility Reduce consumption is the only solution Useful frustration for this overfed nation Do you disagree? change your opinion The only way I see this is the final caution
Welcome to a world where violence grows, your life doesn't weigh, but the crime does pay As you gonna see, nothing is safe, take care of your security I’ll tell you son the ugly truth, this place’s not fabulous, it’s dangerous and if you don’t wanna waste your youth, look out for yourself...
>…when you hit the city ain’t no pity, only brutality, no one’s gets off scot free in this J-U-N-G-L-E Swear that you will always use your mind and avoid these wicked traps Hey kid, beware and you’ll be fine, this is my advice Violence spreads like a disease, in the streets and the alleys, all around the seven seas This world is insane and mean, I hope you know what I mean, look at the deep shit we’re in
Another night, another fight, It’s easy to beat someone when it’s ten on one, Weak people don’t act alone, they can beat you till death
Violence spreads like a disease, in the streets and the alleys, all around the seven seas One day, wrong way, you may have a fight, for just a glance This world is insane and mean, I hope you know what I mean, look at the deep shit we’re in The worst exists, there’s no limit to violent tales
Hate, fear, pain & violence, stop suffering in silence
Don’t turn the other cheek as Jesus said / or you’ll regret it, dead on the street Save your honor and find your balls / try to survive, fight for yer life Break some bones / and shoot the bastards / Smash some jaws / Beat up these cowards Forget rules / They won’t protect you / Never lose / No other way out
Some people create their own shell, A mental wall that protects them We mustn’t trust appearances / go find this shelter you can’t see from the outside Go beyond all differences / enter it to get to know what’s on the inside Who cares about those who need it most? Past troubles and doubts weigh on their minds Some hearts should be just listened to Give a hand, try to comprehend / No need to judge, just go ahead
We’re like this, you’re like that, our worlds, a long way apart Feel dismissed, bleeding heart, don't look back, get a fresh start Everybody deserves serenity Everybody must face reality
If they need to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, they would be relieved to know (that) they can count on you Never easy to deal with their own / history Bad memories always remind them of / their frailty
An insidious kind of social discrimination, a complete absence of friendship and compassion Look around, they’re always rejected, victims of a lack of understanding
Even little things are good to give / a smile & some warmth to help them feel better Depression is our century’s disease / so break their fucking shell....break their fucking shell...break their fucking shell Put yourself out of your misery
Financial worries don’t mean much to me It's time to pay for your treatment You’re weak and poor, your liability don’t bother us with your problems We may help you if you can pay fees your health will cost you more than your rent You should bear in mind, there’s nothing for free you’re such a lucrative client
Vaccines and pills, an eternal business, poverty kills more than anything else No choices left, suffering from sickness, doctors won’t help and they couldn’t care less Try to raise a child when you got no dough, some just didn’t choose, I’d like you to know They work hard for what ? They’re treated like rats, with more chance to sink rather than swim
Corporate pharmaceutical industry What do you stand for? Got no values apart from the money I was waiting for more Never showing any empathy, (I) thought you'd be my saviour Causing death through your laboratory It's rotten from the core
Bad Health, bad luck, sad reality, I feel so sick with this misery Tell me what’s wrong with our society, people are dying coz of their poverty
Vaccines and pills, an eternal business, poverty kills more than anything else No choices left, suffering from sickness, doctors won’t help and they couldn’t care less Try to raise a child when you got no dough, some just didn’t choose, I’d like you to know They work hard for what ? They’re treated like rats, with more chance to sink rather than swim
Things won’t change as long as money rules this world Things won’t change as long as we don’t change
Time goes by quickly, soon you will be an ancient story, an old memory, But until your final breath, as long as you’re on this earth, you’d better enjoy your stay, Take your chance, don’t miss it, Life is a one way trip, no return and no exit
Reach your aims before you fade away There’s not any replay, find and draw your way You can’t rewind, live life to the full, you may There’s no one here to stay, so enjoy every fuckin'day
Life’s tough this evening, I feel like crying / I'm weeping sometimes Stop hesitating, follow your feelings / Don't waste your lifetime Don’t have any regrets Do not be upset
A new life's starting each day Don’t run away let your passion show you the way Find it someday It could all just end up today Maybe today Use your time, never give it away Not here to stay
It's time for resilience ! Ease the pain by dropping out won’t set you free from your anxiety Black thoughts, swearing that black is white, will catch you suddenly Stages make sense, so try your best to jump the fence
I sing at the top of my lungs from the first day Some dreams have now gone away, but the next are on the way My vision has changed with age, but the years can't touch my rage Getting older gives more ink, so enjoy and fill the page! Don't know what tomorrow is gonna be like, Whatever, I am not feeling uptight, I'm having good times thinking of the past, I'm looking forward to the future acts What's going on next? / No matter, I'll change the text / I live in the present tense / And I enjoy this vortex Each day may be so different / a new step in my existence / That's why now I am this man
I grew older but I'm still the same, I put new pictures in my ancient frame My own book will not be arranged until I write down the last page I follow this damaged road, sometimes I'm blinded by the rain, sometimes I hit the sauce till six, sometimes I wonder who I am
I know some people think that age will bring them wisdom, but to me it rhymes with more problems and less fun Age it's all in the head, don't take yourself seriously, take your heart as the only guide, never stop dreaming freely Don't believe your grandpa, when he tells your mama he's happier than ever and he wouldn't want to be younger You know what life is worth when you lose what you have loved, enjoy your time on this earth, it's short Unconcerned when you're twenty, still happy when you're thirty, troubles come when you're forty, with your job and your babies. From your birth to your death / we all learn from our mistakes and / Life never has the same taste
I would have liked to stay longer To get to know you a little more It was quite brief, I’ve come and gone / it lasted shorter than I hoped I fought but lost armageddon / I wasn’t strong enough, I feel numb
How could I do better to avoid this end without leaving you broken and sad I wonder if love can last when we’re so far, You'll have to find a new shoulder to cry on
I wish I could tell you the truth / but it hurts so much and I can’t We should have enjoyed more of our youth / These past times were always pleasant Not enough time by your side / Death separated us Out of the blue, from the inside / sick and nauseous
I feel weaker every second but my memory still strong, I’m still wondering what happened, some questions never have answers I did my time, I don’t decide, death is quick when you’re that sick Here it’s so bleak, I feel so weak, I miss your warmth far from your arms I know we’re through / too late to regret It’s time to leave you / not ready yet
How could I do better to avoid this end without leaving you broken and sad I wonder if love can last when we’re so far, Now all we were, will always shine in all these shooting stars
Things were outta control / Now I’m all alone Six feet deep in this hole / my remains and bones Why did I sell my soul? / and quit you quickly? I’m gonna miss you lovely doll
Music changed my life in a single song; “Lithium”: a shock from the first second And she brings back my memories, it’s a never ending story Special tunes have this unique taste that’s so much better than the rest You’re my best antidote against loneliness, you keep me afloat
Always true and always there, she cares for me when I’m down In the pain she’s next to me / with her can’t ever feel lonely All along I knew that this road would be long and beautiful You and me, we live in complete harmony All along I knew that we would last forever You and me, we live in complete harmony
I can’t imagine a day without you / You stand by me when I’m feeling blue I’m stuck in your sound, I take off the ground / You’re the best comfort I’ve ever found Stay as you are, sweet and intense, haunt my guitar, you are my chance M.U.S.I.C., my one and only My reason to be, my life’s philosophy
You still bring back my memories, it’s a never ending story
Banks are running dry, the money’s all gone, politicians are adamant : “it’s necessary to spend billions to refill their funds”, they fear the system’s explosion It might be embarrassing, when half the world is still starving Banks debts evaporate, markets are corrupted, money’s value is overrated They’re stronger than the states, they rule the whole planet, their profits and their debts are emptying our pockets It’s a tragic scheme, their methods are obscene, they sow poverty and then harvest dirty money A profit-based economy distributes earnings differently It thrives on poverty, in sparing no country, fuck you if you’re hungry
Cash flow’s getting big, debt’s eliminated, more profits for the rich / There is no justice No hope for you and me, in this mad economy, there’s no solidarity / This is a standoff Constant crisis and recession, the reasons for massive starvation / Know your enemy These malfunctions cause no reaction, the system’s locked and under protection
Government and Establishment are infested with these First class criminals / White collars and traders Money controls the way they think, they’re devoid of all feelings They’re obsessed by benefits / They earn tons more than they can spend Their greed is only pride / power’s always by their side / without any common sense / we’re all bored with their offence Life means less than their damn gold / these crooked bastards are cold / Pay their moms they can be sold
Cash flow’s getting big, debt’s eliminated, more profits for the rich / There is no justice No hope for you and me, in this mad economy, there’s no solidarity / This is a standoff Constant crisis and recession, the reasons for massive starvation / Fight the right enemy> These malfunctions cause no reaction, the system’s locked and under protection
Money doesn’t grow on trees / Do you think they fuckin’know?/ They don’t cause they have no worries/ Now react, don’t let them go Enough paid for their mistakes / Their death should be listed on /on / the stock exchange
These small things always made my day / These pleasant times come to my mind A smile, a laugh and then I’m feeling great / Happiness ain't hard to find And I’ll always keep in mind all the lil’ positive signs that life can show you sometimes, every now and then your star will shine Be upbeat bro, don't covet what you don't own, the void will be filled anyhow Consider every detail but allow yourself to fail / try and be curious, but don’t be too zealous Life is a gift and you should care / happiness comes in many ways There is nothing you can compare / a precious thing that you should share
Life’s got this little something, I... I don’t expect anything from ...life Life’s got this little something, I.. I’ve been upset and I wonder If it’s a real nightmare or a constant pleasure, life’s a bitch when you go from failure to failure Back to black when you’re caught by your setbacks, feelings are drowned, I am down in the dumps now
As the sky darkened / Everything’s going wrong today / Is fate against me? / Bad things happen to my dismay My mood depends on things that are not worth the trouble / I woke up on the wrong side of my bed, full of dread, thinking I would soon be dead, mistreated, defeated, cursed by a nasty godhead Control your temper when the clouds become darker, the world is not so manichean!
Life’s got this little something, I... I don’t expect anything from ...life Life’s got this little something, I.. I’ve been upset and I wonder If it’s a real nightmare or a constant pleasure, life’s a bitch when you go from failure to failure Back to black when you’re caught by your setbacks, feelings are drowned, I am down in the dumps now
This little something, that means everything, surrounded by feelings of sadness and joy Try to catch the magic hidden in each moment of life In every shiver and every laugh, in every kiss and every eyes It feels like a breath of fresh air/ It’s real and free / Better days are always ahead / Yes believe me If you look on the bright side of life / I’m sure you’ll see / Don’t miss these wonderful instants / Between you and me
You're just living, man. You're just there, in that moment, in that special place and time. Maybe when I get back, I can write a book about my travels. Yeah. Why not ? You know, about getting out of this sick society. Society ! Society ! Society ! Society, man ! You know, society ! Cause, you know what I don't understand ? I don't understand why people, why every fucking person is so bad to each other so fucking often. It doesn't make sense to me. Judgment. Control. All that, the whole spectrum. Well, it just... What "people" we talking about ? You know, parents, hypocrites, politicians, pricks.
I shoot some hope To forget how life is unfair, the more you're sick the more you sink, obviously Profits lead society, we're just pawns, this game is fucked up and you have never won Now that human life's been privatized, everything has a price Even security is sold like merchandise Every activity is a new source of benefit, let's create new needs and cash in on the gains
Selfishness is the rich man’s sickness They inject billions into businesses but would not give coins to the homeless I’m so sick of the human weakness But some people have interests in perpetuating the distress
Profitization is the first priority / nothing's as important as the money Your health and your well-being can be neglected / No one gives a damn about it!
Auctions raise! Selfishness is the rich man’s sickness They inject billions into businesses but would not give coins to the homeless I’m so sick of the human weakness But some people have interests in perpetuating the distress Life is expensive, without dough you're captive / everything will collapse and then you’ll pay the price You'll even pay once you're dead to get a nice wooden grave / that’s how life goes even at six feet under
Property & consumption, it don’t mean nothing to me Poverty is spreading like a fucking epidemic
Whatever happens to me, I lived my own reality (To) reject conformity and blind morality Go on, travel around the globe, Meet open minded people & fuck the norms That you've been following since the beginning There are bunch of things to make yer life exciting Real life's outside, go out & make it through Go out & make it through Whatever happens to you / Just take it easy & stop feeling blue And make your dreams come true / No time to waste today, write a new screenplay
You'd better choose, you'd better move when everything just falls apart It's up to you, watcha wanna do, maybe you just need a new start Before you lose, just when you snooze, wake up and listen to your heart It's up to you, watcha wanna do, maybe you just need a new start
Sometimes life's a struggle, a fuckin' constant battle Left alone in that jungle, you get treated like cattle Bungled by boredom and willing to run away, Looking for brighter days, pissed off but not jaded Write your own history, stay as free as you can be, Go find as the world can be homey and this life so peachy
You pray with blind fascination / And believe in the priest's incantations Waiting for god's revelation / Quietly listening to the sermon Dreading the final destination / We're doomed and there ain't no solution I have my own explanation / I don't need you to give me the direction You're trying to impose your views to the whole society / By repeating bullshit written in a book Patriarchism, fake compassion, straight morality Unfortunately I am not weak to agree Spreading your vision and teaching the lesson it's nothing more than a sect for me Religion's a poison, a fucked up illusion
Two Thousand years they've been spreading the fear The christian nations were built on a fiction, a bible-based story of resurrection Indoctrination of the population is the best way to control a civilization Every morning of every day, I see you prayin and I'd like to say Stop trusting what they claim, don't perpetuate this wicked game After all you have to know (that) God is just a placebo, you're devoted, so submissive to the oldest trick on earth
You're down on your knees now , praying among this crowd full of pricks and you hope to be saved once you're dead, but there's no one up there, hell is on earth, god's just a statue in your church Naive and credulous, what they sell is fabulous, they duped you unscrupulous, but you don't feel ridiculous One day you'll see the light and it's not a pretty sight, forget this shit downright, it's time to say bye bye Brainwashing the youth through theological education / learn well your verse to avoid the curse Manipulating the truth to condition the opinions/ follow and pray, you're a slave of your faith It's a long established organisation / I can't disregard all your very dark past I'll never join your faction of intolerant morons / I'll never die for your religious war
Walking around in my city today Stinky cities The buildings and people, they all look dead/ The squats are closing, now the "artists" get paid, to pretend that there's something happening Tell how I am supposed to survive in these dead cities? The dream is so bad and the people so sad, the reasons why I never feel glad And they're cleaning every street, destroying everything For a brand new building You gotta pay to eat & sleep, survival is not free It’ll never be
Non commercial activities are banned in most of the cities/ Squatters get evicted from their home, but the flats remain empty/ It's a constant search for profit and standardized habits The goal is the destruction of the will to live free Every day I stray and try to do my best to live through this hell and forget all this present stress Share my distress, all my life I feel oppressed, it’s a whole mess and I do it with success When I see what's going on, it's hard not to feel down & out / and I feel ashamed When I see what's going on, it's hard not to feel down & out / I feel the same Everybody’s looking for the same thing / Less authority, more solidarity Everybody’s looking for the same thing / Reach autonomy by any means necessary Homeless and hopeless, I cannot call it progress / Days go by, situation gets worse, the fight is almost lost Happiness and joy are my only quests / Will I reach them someday and feel alive for real? Everybody’s looking for the same thing / Less authority, more solidarity Everybody’s looking for the same thing / Reach autonomy by any means necessary What’s the other choice? / a more violent approach? Is there a place in the sun for everyone? / or are we doomed to a lifelong boredom?
Money bought something in the way, that’s our humanity Surrounded but fuckin’lonely, usual urban story From block to block, in stinky flats, freedoms are locked and rents are high The autonomists slowly disappear, the poor and weaks live in fear It seems like everybody's dead Only yuppies all well fed A strange feeling when I'm in my bed Wish I'd never wake up again And I’m dyin, and I’m dyin, you don’t even know And I’m dyin, and I’m dyin, right in front of you It seem like everybody's dead Only yuppies all well fed Right in front of you
Hold up your fist / Civil rights are threatened" You're on their list / And soon it'll be your turn No justice, No peace / How long until the next crackdown? They load the dice / Take action against them!
Restrictions on your freedom Justified by security reasons You're regarded with suspicion, In each one of your daily actions
One two three, dream of liberty While they're throwing hundreds of innocents in jail Already guilty in your own country And your freedom of action is now between their hands Stand up brotha / they still rule the roost One way powa / Gov'ment sets the rules Avoid murda / Or they will break your soul I've got cop's phobia / ……if ya don't react now they'll get ya
Terror is the easier way to Dominate, control all what we do Guardia, Policia & Militia, sing that shit muthafucka Fuck the pigs!
You pushed that door now you're trapped for sure We sound like dopes, but with a lot of hope Addictives tones that run through your bones UJ without drug prescription, more explosive than a gas station It's the soundtrack to our lives, it sounds better than The Hives Unlike most of the bands you love, we're not wearing the shirts of the Ramones We're spreading around, like oil on the ground, The sky is falling down, under this wall of sound We keep the true sound of the underground, Along with other bands, activists and friends This shit's not so bad since 97' we've been around And we wanna make it last until the end No concessions cuz we're stimulated by true passion Music's keeping us alive, gives us the strength to survive Open your fuckin'ears, are you ready for your new addiction Forget all you've heard before, sing along 1-2-3-4
All my friends and I love Rock & Roll We're here to blast your fuckin'soul We like when it sounds cynical, Raw dirty, and a bit radical We're the most original We want to drive you up the wall Thanks to the music we are eternal & soon we will come to your town, no matter how far it's from home, we'll come to your town, to speak up and sing these songs
We can not and we won't stop / We've done it from scratch, we've never asked for anything But nevermind we play sub Pop / From the start, there was no other alternative Love it or not we pack a punch / and make you want to start an everlasting riot Get ready for the latest crop / it's the sound that you've always wanted us to drop
This one's for the family, proudly and noisy, we riprizent the BSC, Bad Ska do you know? We created the style and you use it now
From Goober P. to Op Ivy / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ... From Choking V. to Beastie B. / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ... From Hüsker D. to MDC / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ... From Johnny C. to Social D. / Bad Ska C-O-R-P, ...
Hey, you seem to know everything on everything But your lack of knowledge makes you a fuckin’upstart Damn, you are so close minded, a stupid redneck kid, The ideas you convey are nothing but clichés, Intolerance & ignorance are leading your sad existence Let’s try to live in peace together / it would make things much easier Always learn and become clever / knowledge's in books, not blockbusters Give to the others a little of your time / and share with them, it'd be just fine Let's make our world a better place to die / Open up & swallow your pride
Why are you afraid of everything that seems just different? What are your reasons for feeling superior above the disabled? Didn’t your mama teach you how to show some respect? Nothing is worse than your constant disdain
Discrimination among the population / Fuck able-bodied pride Based on handicap, health reasons and eugenism / Just open up your mind
I’d like to dedicate this one to the deaf, dumb and the blind Forgotten in our society, the ones that the life punished cruelly People should be more altruistic, humanistic less individualistic We need to harmonize, To act rather than to promise I wish a world accessible to all, France is late, so hear this call Stop all kinds of discrimination and restore real communication People can change this world, spread the word, we can afford it Try to live in a Wheelchair and understand how life can be unfair When all eyes are on just on you. One day this person may be you
Fuck mainstream, we're out the commercial scheme Your music industry has never interested me Indoctrination and standardisation Bad Ska resistance for only subsistence Corporate Medias define the tastes of the Mass, Mediocrity gets sold at a very high price There's no content, but the package is nice, Lobotomized again, they'll even buy things twice! Passive audience / a lovely bunch of naive students Absolute obedience / they keep repeating the artist's statements Swindle evidence / Greedy promoters and shitty bands For your empty existence / none of this makes any sense!
Tic Tac Toe, the devil plays the game Nothing's exciting, everything's boring, the songs he sings are all the same You can run, you can hide, but you're always running dry Keep music outside of this whole business, Not for sale/Not to buy Broken bones and broken voice, my heart and my brain are full of rage D.I.Y. my only choice to spread my ideas, my message All these shits make me ill and never gave me a thrill These tunes always get played on the TV in exchange for a lucrative deal
Music has to remain a way to change the world It ain't no product, or a TV add support Majors, you're choking with all the lives you wasted So many artists that you've never supported Authenticity is the thing you can't afford Cause you're only choosing those that follow all the trends We gonna teach you what's the real underground and you'll discover the values that we want to defend
There is no chance for originality, They traded art for rentability You just can't stay You have to pay Gotta pay to play...
I was told that nothing was planned / and that the future was unwritten Carpe diem, heaven is a dreamland / enjoy life, as long as you're not rotten Don’t wait to be saved by the bell / or you'll miss your chance again And realize your life was a hell / like if you had been locked in jail
Forget all your fears and Follow your instinct, but Spend some of your time To take care of your friends Tomorrow they may be dead
Some left us too fuckin’ early / going through all this loss ain't easy They still live through my memory / and their ghosts haunt my life daily Sometimes death comes very quickly / only the good die young, it is true, can't you see? But music’s for eternity / it'll help you to forget all your fears
...and follow your instinct Take care of your friends Tomorrow they may be dead.. Oh oh
I know that we will meet again, dear friend, the world is small if you keep your mind open I’m glad to rub shoulders with you, but I must say that I fuckin’miss you You will always mean a lot to me, in my heart & part of my history You were, will always, be my bro
Any of your actions has its own repercussions The car you drive, the food you eat, the garbage you throw on the street The consequences of your daily selfish behaviour will be endangering the planet's ecosystem Everything I know is that we should change all what we do Our consumer habits are criminal and you know that it’s true Everything on earth has been over-exploited by men, They will rape and rob again and again until the end Soon you'll be turning in circles, realizing the damage's done We have reached the point of no return Making the same mistakes as the previous generations Are you waiting for the next caution? It's time to take action
They couldn't care less about the Earth or about us They wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice people's health Every lobby manages the world / as if it was theirs and nobody cares Even Nature can be sold / a brand new market to fill in their pockets
Everything we do has an unsuspected impact, sign the suicide pact, every resource has been attacked Monsento controls the fields for more more yields, increased profit for deceased life, your kids are gonna pay the bill So start thinking, about the way you're living, the pollution you're creating and the waste you are producing You are part of this destructive chain, implied by this whole system, can you tell me who's to blame? Why is the environment not a priority for the government?/ How can they consider this subject is not important? Globalization encourages overproduction/ We should participate in reducing our consumption And we suffocate again /This shit's making us insane They manipulate our brain / With chemical aliments It’s all about responsibility / and making the right choices / If it were up to me / I'd opt for many changes
I dreamt a thousand times ‘bout a new world, new world Without any pollution, any humans, any wars I dreamt a thousand times of saving the world, saving the world Eh man now choose your team, you are the gleam of hope
Soon you'll be turning in circles, realizing the damage's done We shall have reached this point of no return Making the same mistakes as the previous generations
Love is such a pain, all these feelings are my bane Only tears remain, and I know I should refrain It’s hard to feel so high and realize promise was a lie Harder to say goodbye, everything has gone awry Life brought me disappointments, I never found the good treatments Pronouncements and engagements, girls always need more statements Things have been pretty bad lately, For now I am trying hard not to expect anything from anybody Trapped into deception, false hopes and illusions, I am annoyed by this fucked up situation Scars remain as inked pains, it's inside you until the end Mixed feelings of love & hate, can't get rid of this ball & chain Time has not erased my wounds, love haunts me like all these songs The sad feeling of being left alone invades me strongly and it brings me down Every dug up memory comes back as a ghost to haunt me This story was / so destructive / as magnetic as hopeless
Heartbreak I took the wrong way, right now I'm gonna pay Now I pay, I pay I'm sad & broke now, waiting for better days..
Ups and downs, that's just how my life goes, depression and sorrow I've overdosed Now I hope that the worst is behind me, I weathered the storm and no-one ever helped me Nothing has ever been easy or free, middle class whitey with not much money I was often on the rocks, But I've lived through it and have always heard this little vox that was telling me never to give up cuz the best would was coming up I've always been wild but lonely, like a stray cat in a city
All these past years I bit the dust, the lust for life as a co-pilot But now I always land on my feet, even when streets are badly lit Don't try to stand in my way, if I were you I'd keep away Every night I sharpen my claws, the cats obey their own laws
Engaged in a fight for independence, don't mess with me or I will make you shit your pants Don't lock me up inside or I'll kick you out, I get nervous when I feel trapped like a rat This cat's life doesn't have a place for mistakes, if you fuck up, there's no beefsteaks Tomorrow may never come, I'm not waitin for any angels, just a phone call from my mom Many times I wonder if it'll get better/ sometimes freedom let me feel a little bitter My loneliness grows & my sorrow's stronger/ I gets me down but I get by without downer There is not much to expect from this life on earth / I've reached the abyss, there is no bliss The game is over when you know you're cursed/ I've reached the abyss, there is no bliss
You're preaching about the world security But you're just breeding insanity Army only spreads mediocrity They bought your soul but they'll never get mine And the army's defending our so called liberty In our names they're invading the poorest countries Looking for new cities to spread their democraty Looking for new markets for their dirty economy I've reached a better destiny than die for my country Check out the History, I could never be A slave and a bug in their bloody supremacy make sure the choice is yours and join tha Anti> The east, the north, the south & the west The whole world is in a mess Rape, torture and distress, Now Mr. soldier it's time to confess
All these dead, what does it mean? Whose freedom are they defending? All these dead, what does it mean? Which people are they protecting? All these dead, what does it mean? Who are the real ennemies?
One more step for the next genocide But who the fuck are you to decide? Who has to live, who has to die You make jesus cry so stop your lie Thousands of dead bodies, devastated cities, Let's start a war to solve the international crisis Western countries economic interests mean more to you than some respect for the human race It's you, not me who brought down a whole society But all these starving people are good for your economy Less and less liberty in every big city But not for everybody, thanx to the army Shoot the ministry Bomb down their industries Their fucked'up glory Is based on atrocities
Now I'm dead and in my grave, rotten by worms until my bones I rolled the dice and payed the price, but all i've done is in the past My life was so tame, now I play a new game, I'm a skull with no name with a fuckin' bad aim I can do what I want cuz I don't feel no pain, I will come back again and realize my plan Out of control, coming out from my hole, I will do what I told coming back for the fall Here's my revenge, I'll do honour my pledge Never again sage, now I will express my rage
Living dead haunting the streets Supported by ugly freaks Preparing some dirty tricks Torturing these fuckin' pricks
Now I'm on your track, ready to stab you in the back No time to react when I'll smoke all your crack Ghosts control the night under pretty moonlight We are waitin for midnight and looking for a fight And out come the freaks smoking dope on the hills Giving us a thrill, letting me feel for real Climbing over the wall, shop lifting at the malls Giving the cops a kick in the balls From dawn to dusk, still standing smoking dust No I can take your drugs on trust I've sold my soul, that's i've always told I'll never give back all the things I stole Ghosts have no fear and will yell in your ears Listen to our mix and bring us beers Life was boring I choose to quit Let's move your feet on this fuckin' bad ska beat End of ... pressure
It makes me bleed since i can read, it wastes my dreams to pay his bill Every day I work and feed his banks, fuck that, I don't want to take part in that I never had the feeling I belonged to a nation, a thousand rules and laws , a fucked up constitution I don't want to work to build this fucking kingdom, I'm not ready to waste my time & loose my freedom

Wake up man ! The choice is yours, change this state, nothing to loose Just pay the tax, we must be making tracks, pack your bags, you know we can't change the past Think for yourself and choose your own way, don't act as they do and pretend it's okay Watcha gonna say when they'll ask for their due, it's time to react cause this hell is true And it's getting worse & worse, your whole life seems like a curse You're suffering in silence, now that they've bought your conscience You owe them a complete obedience, and they profit from your ignorance Take a look at what's going on, can't you see the damage done? Refuse this state and choose your own way and maybe one day you might say...
What is that shit? Ok, right now, all over this great nation of ours, 'hundred thousand white people from the suburbs are cruisin' around downtown asking every black person they see "You got any drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?" *Think* about the effect that that has on the psyche of a black person, on their possibilities. I... God I guarantee you bring a hundred thousand black people into your neighborhood, into fuckin' Indian Hills, and they're asking every white person they see "You got any drugs? You know where I can score some drugs?", within a *day* everyone would be selling. Your friends. Their kids. Here's why: it's an unbeatable market force man. It's a three-hundred percent markup value. You can go out on the street and make five-hundred dollars in two hours, come back and do whatever you want to do with the rest of your day and, I'm sorry, you're telling me that... you're telling me that white people would still be going to law school?

When I'm coming home I'm feeling so alone, there's nothing to help me except tha good old 2-tone I don't fell well tonight, ain't nothing going right, time to take flight Sunday evening is so depressing, Isolated, no one's coming
Fuck your uniform, it puts me in the norm I don't like to work, gimme back my freedom I refuse your crown, I've already mine >All the orders you give me won't bring me down You can't feel satisfied, you want me to justify You work hard, your life sucks & you're just a pawn You're waitin' for me to fail, I'd rather go to jail You feel free & powerful but yer mind's in jail You're the boss but I'm free, So don't try to fuck me I'll never eat yer poison, you can't keep me in prison Now I raise my finga up to the sky, to show that I wanna die...

Now the choice is yours, how long are ya gonna wait? Be one of them, or fight this fuckin' state How long will it take you to admit you've been exploited & they've treated you like shit Eating, working & sleeping is yer ordinary day and society grants you 5 weeks of holydays You're part of this system, you all act the fuckin' same but if yer life is lame then you're the only one to blame
You're waitin'for luck, life's better with more bucks No one’s gonna help you to make this true / stop dreaming cause yer money won’t save you You think you’re free but you can't see / they smile like friends & act like enemies They feel for you just apathy / you’re just a slave in this society
Steal everything you can from the shops and if ya get arrested, give the finger to the cops Destroy the corporate companies from the inside & if ya need some help ya know that we'll be by yer side Take some time to fight the laws cause it's not worth living if ya always doin as you're told Stop believing in their fuckin' lies I hope someday you'll realize, realize
Now try to get your own fuckin’ vision, God is a myth which helps these pigs To serve their domination, Union Jack is fightin’against all that exploitation, here’s our only reaction A whole life to refuse what they give us to eat , bring back their shit and give’em your feet Their lies seem to be true but we all hate boys in blue, this menace is true >My mates and I will burn this state, you know we need to express our hate My mates and I will go down the street and reclaim it, hey! come down the pit
You judge me but you ignore my name I hate you so much, you feel strong with your gang You stupid rich I can't stand you and I claim for my rights, I'm true and will be there till the end Pathetic, hypocrite, you look like a famous chick> Without your friends and your costume, you feel so weak, you're in a panic You think you'e smart, trapped like a rat, can't stand you art It sounds like a fat crap, fuck that, no way, no claps U-N-I-O-N J-A-C-K & Ekkeh waiting for a melo-deca Your music ain't no P-U-N-K, you're not here to stay anyway You ain't more dangerous than mickey mouse, you feel safe in your big house Always acting like the mass, it's so cool to smoke some hash !
You seem to know the real underground You're a poseur and you're gonna hit the ground You're always a part of the trendy crowd Stop Slamming and don't mess around - Get ready for the final round.
Always busy, you're too lazy, the life for you is too easy You can't sing just like me, the difference is the integrity What's your message and where is your rage, your punk music is a sabotage You look so wise in spite of your age, express yourself through your badge Hard times for the underground culture / surrounded by so many vultures trying to establish the rules / we're longing for a better future Fake rebellion & heavy rotation on empty V, the complete collection How come their lyrics are as empty as my bottle of whiskey
