THERE IS POWER IN A UNION *

Would you have freedom from Wage slavery,
Then come join the grand Industrial band;
Would you from mis’ry and hunger be free,
Then come, do your share, lend a hand

There is pow’r there is pow’r in a band of workingfolks,
When they stand hand in hand,
That’s a pow’r, that’s a pow’r
That must rule in every land-
One Industrial Union Grand.

If you like sluggers to beat off your head,
Then don’t organize, all unions despise.
If you want nothing before you are dead,
Shake hands with your boss and look Wise.
Come, all ye workers, from every land,
Come, join in the grand industrial band;
Then we our share of this earth shall demand.
Come on! Do your share, lend a hand

OPERATION: CERTAIN DEATH

Can you believe that we believed
there are good times laying ahead
There is a sun behind the cloud
and new thought in their heads

But the evil goes for another round
and the life’s still somewhere else
This is gonna be a battleground
And we don’t see any sense

Do you wanna go with me
Operation certain death
A Lonely voice of sanity
until our final breath

Again we are on our own
So Let’s bring on the sound
Set your guitar on rapid fire
shoot the boredom to the ground

Evil turns another round
and the song remains the same
if it’s gonna be a battleground
then we’re still in the game

Cause we don’t believe a word they say
Our future wasn’t yesterday
And we stand against the things they do
They’re not fooling me and you

AMERICAN SOLDIER

There’s a million desperate people
and a country in a mess
superpower’s ever ready
for a bloody game of chess

And the pressure’s getting higher
They want government to fall
soon the star spangled banner
will fly above them all

American soldier threatens world with a gun
while the stars and stripes are blocking the sun
American soldier –guarantee of peace
American soldier businessman of war
doesn’t know what he’s fighting for
such firepower needs no excuse

10 years of occupation
and we're in for 1000 more
we swapped the cruel dictator
for an endless civil war

we're no longer in the headlines
our suffering's last year's news
And no one cares if it's a bomb blast
mass slaughter or a truce

Foreign policy, ensure supremacy
enforce democracy, put weapons to the test
we’re all expendable, we’re all collateral, US confederal
Let’s spin the globe and see who’s next?

DISAGREE

If you are sleepless just like me
if you’re gripped by anger fear and shame
If you see things others can’t see
Or they see but they don’t seem to care

Tell me what makes you feel alright
tell me what makes you feel alive
I feel good when I’m not on their side
I just wanna take them for a ride

Disagree, disagree, disagree
with the rest of the world
Disagree, disagree, disagree
how I like that word!

If you’re an asshole just like me
self-sufficient narcissist who dares
with sense of justice buried deep
underneath the layers of blind hate

Tell me what makes you feel alright
tell me what makes you feel alive
I feel good when I’m not on their side
I just wanna take them for a ride

And every night becomes a struggle
I’m counting scars instead of sheep
than it isn’t any wonder that I’m growing out of sleep
I take my anger and frustration
without a medicine -without a handful of pills
sanity against dementia and another night to kill

PARTY PEOPLE

I lost a will of my own when I was five
ever since then  I’m not sure if I’m alive
I went to school but I didn’t learn a thing
and I don’t care what tomorrow will bring

Give me some drugs
cause I can still see reality
war crimes and fucked up economy
gimme some or I will start to think

Play me something
boring and repetitive
all music needs to be a sedative
I just wanna dance all night long

I’ve got no purpose I’ve got no goal
with special interest in nothing at all
I did my best to turn out like this
not aware of all the things that I miss

Whole world is a Disneyland
I’m more stupid than yesterday
