Bastards

I was looking at the t.v. news

People everywhere blowing a fuse

People everywhere under the gun

Little kids dying never had no fun

Human beings ain't got no brains

Think you're better but you're all the same

Think you're clever but you're all to blame

Here we are again in the same old frame

Shut up, I'm talkin'to you

It's on television so it can't be true

And I can't play the game no more

Wake up and see it through

Kill the many to save the few

I know what the blind man sees

On your feet or on your knees

Headline terror crime on rise

Half ain't true and the rest is lies

Same old smile on the same old face

Same old horse with the same old race

I wouldn't smile if I was you

Don't relax, 'cos it ain't so new

Watch your back, light the light outside

Somebody coming that you just can't bribe

Shut up, I'm talkin'to you

It's on television so it can't be true

But I can't believe their lies no more

Watch out, I'm coming through

Boogey man gonna bite you too

I know what the blind man sees

On your feet or on your knees

I was reading some magazine

It was written for human beings

Can't believe the stuff I read

Human trash for the human head

You humans don't be so proud

You humans don't talk too loud

You humans just ain't too smart

It's enough to break my human heart

Listen up, I'm talkin' to you

Pay attention 'cos I mean you too

And I will tell you something new

Your values ain't worth a dime

Human rights just human crime

I know what the blind man sees

On your feet or on your knees

Riots in the burning street

Crystal night outside

Brutal music in the night, enough to make you cry

Nobody knows how it is to scream and drown the world

I am the midnight snake to bite your little girls

Outside in the distance, the city in the fire

See the houses burning down, mile after mile

I don't think you know about your future yet

I don't think you're gonna like the one you're going to get

Ghost rider in the sky

Burner

Lights outside my window, victims on the floor

Rats in all the bedrooms, thunder at the door

Nobody knows anything, kill and wear a smile

Here comes the pirates baby, don't' you touch that dial

You will never hurt me, you won't put me down

This ain't no circus and I sure don't need no clowns

I will be the one you can't be

I will see the things that you can't see

Demons blind your eyes

Burner

Beat me like a hammer, baby, stick me like a pig

Throw me to the lions, baby, wear me like a wig

I am not only one to walk into the fire

I would rather burn than let them make me a liar

I cannot be beaten, I cannot be like you

I cannot be otherwise, no matter what you do

I am the voice of broken glass

I am the voice to drive you mad at last

I am the truth, the liar turned around

Burner

Burner

Burner

Burner anyway

I saw the millions, the naked and the dead

I saw the city streets running bloody red

I saw a thousand bombers circle in the sky

I saw the firestorm fifty stores high

I saw a hundred thousand scream and burn

I saw the armored wheels grind and turn

Universal soldier, doomed to live to tell

Fight and die forever, burn in bloody hell

Death or Glory, Death or Glory

March forever in the sound and fury

Death or Glory, Death or Glory

Blood and iron it's the same old story

I held the Iron Cross, first class with the swords

I marched with Hitler down the bloody road to war

I was at Jutland loding 'till the gun was hot

Killed at Trafalgar without firing a shot

I was at Moscow, burning in my tank

I was at Shiloh, marching in the ranks

I was a Sturmbannfuhrer fighting in Berlin

I was a Russian Hero dying for Stalin

Death or glory, Death or glory

March forever in the sound and fury

Death or glory, Death or glory

Blood and iron it's the same old story

I swung a saber and I was a young Hussar

I was a Cossack, fighting for the Czar

I was a Viking, Berserker from the North

A Roman Gladiator murdered just for sport

I was with Bonaparte I died at Waterloo

I was a Frankish Knight, a Polish Jew

I was a Spartan in the Trojan Wars

I was a warrior for Crazy Horse

Death or Glory, Death or Glory

March forever in the sound and fury

Death or Glory, Death or Glory

The Loner Survivor but no comfort for me

Death or Glory, Death or Glory

Executioner, Judge and Jury

Death or Glory, Death or Glory

Blood and iron it's the same old story

Auf Stehen!!!

Murder I am, you know it was me

I was the one, that you didn't see

I was the cut, down to you bone

I put you there under that stone

I, I am the blade, I am the dream of the brave

I, I am the knife, I bring grief to you wife

I, I am the sword, I am the word of the Lord

Do what you will, I bring you the edge

I am the one to sever your head

I cut so deep, I can cut straight

All depends on the moves you make

I, I am the blade, I am the promise unmade

I, I am the knife, I bring death to your life

I, I am the ax, to stop you dead in your tracks

I, I am the sword, I bring the fear of the Lord

Centuries pass, dust in the wind

I shall remain, shining in sin

The metal I am, the iron you feel

The song of the dead, the chorus of steel

I, I am the blade, I break the oath that you made

I, I am the mace, I am the blow in the face

I, I am the ax, to cut down heroes like rats

I, I am the sword, I do the work of the Lord

Listen up here, I'll make it quite clear

I'm gonna put some boogie in your ear

Shake and bop, don't you stop

Cance like a maniak until you drop

I don't mind, I don't mind

I can tun a razor right up your spine

What are you waiting for

What do you think you were created for

Show us, you care, show us you dare

You don't know what happened, not if you weren't there

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

We know how to do it and we do it real well

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

Voodoo medicine cast my spell

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

Play that guitar just like ringing a bell

Take it or leave it

Going for broke, rock 'til you choke

It don't matter if you drink or smoke

Speak through the beat, get up on your feet

Sweating like a hpund dog, white as a sheet

Don't you be scared, don't you be scared

Everybody terrified, it don't seem fair

What are you waiting for

What do you think you were created for

Out of your seat, blind in the heat

Do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

We know how to do it and we do it real well

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

We know how to do it and we do it real well

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

Go back to zero take a pill and get well

Be a good soldier and die where you fell

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

We know how to do it and we do it real well

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

Go on out and boogie 'cos you never can tell

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

Be a good soldier and die where you fell

Born to raise hell, Born to raise hell

We know how to do it and we do it real well

Little girl sleeping in dreams of peace

Mommy been gone a long time

Daddy comes home and she still sleeps

Waiting for the world worst crime

And he comes up the stairs like he always does

And he never turns on the light

And she's wide awake, scared to death

She smells his lust and she smells his sweat

Curled in a ball she holds her breath

Praying to a God that she's never met

Don't let Daddy kiss me, don't let Daddy kiss me

Goodnight

Little girl lies by her Daddy's side

And she listens to him breathe

She knows there's something awful wrong

That she's far too young to see

And she knows she can't tell anyone

She's too full of guilt and shame

And if she tells she'll be all alone

They'd steal her Daddy and they'd steal her home

And it's not so bad when Daddy leaves her alone

Praying to her God with his heart of stone

Don't let Daddy kiss me, don't let Daddy kiss me

Goodnight

Why, tell me why

The worst crime, in the world

And so Daddy lies by his daughter's side

And he sleeps deep and well

No nightmares come to him tonight

Though his daughter lives in hell

For his seed is sown where it should not be

But the beast in his mind don't care

And the only sound are tears that fell

Little girl turns her face to the wall

She knows that no-one hears her call

But it seems that God hears nothing at all

Don't let Daddy kiss me, don't let Daddy kiss me

Goodnight

Shoot me down, baby look at you move

Dancing like you ain't got a thing to lose

Your fight for breath

Way you look scare a man to death

I can't speak, my heart's on fire

You're the focus of my desire

Can't be real, can't be true

You might be a virgin, but you ain't brand new

I know you're a bad, bad woman

Turn around and you'll see me coming

I know you're a bad, bad woman

Good enough for me

Here I come baby watch my smoke

Gotta getcha and it ain't no joke

I hope your body ain't telling me lies

You bring a tear to my lying eyes

I wish I could, I wish I might

Get the wish I wish tomight

Drive me crazy turn me inside put

Gotta have you baby, ain't no doubt

I know you're a bad, bad woman

Turn around and you'll see me coming

I know you're a bad, bad woman

Good enough for me

Give it up baby, let me jump your bones

Fired up, almost grown

Can't believe you want me too

Here I come honey, woop - de - do

I know you're a bad, bad woman

One look and you set me running

I know you're a bad, bad woman

Good enough for me

Liar- you take your hand from me

I'll tear it from your wrist

Just take your hand from me

Liar- your mouth is ashes dog, do not presume

To fool me with your tales of god

Liar- Promises of Heaven now

You cannot truly think you are the seven now

Liar- And I will challenge you

All my life I swear that I will challenge you

I will be the watcher, and I will never sleep

Many miles before me, and promises to keep

Driving out the demons, and bring them all to trial

I see the face that cannot smile

Liar- You should be burning now, I know you are

The face and it is turning now

Liar- Your words are filth and false

You are the vile partner in the final waltz

Liar- Will be rid of you, a good day in any life

Will be rid of you

Liar- I see you eyeless smile

There is no other thing upon this world so vile

I will be the hero, and I can do no more

I can be the hero, as I have been before

I can take you places that you have never seen

I can make you pleased that you are clean

Killer- Do not presume I'm fooled

You kill the hearts of many but I'll break your rules

Killer- Don't show your teeth to me

I'll put your teeth and feed you with them count on me

Killer- I am thy killer too

I am the frightful thing that always follows you

Liar- I am thy nemesis

I always knew one day that it would come to this

Why the world is wicked

I know the reason why

Why the world is wicked

I know that it's allowed

I can never leave it the way it was before

I can never disobey - the law

I am a drifter on a hungry empty sea

There is no one on earth to rescue me

The winter storms they freeze me

Summer burned alive

I can't remember when another soul passed by

Marooned and stranded, on the Islands of the Damned

There is no one on earth to take my hand

There is no voice to speak, no soul for company

The sun goes down like blood into the Western Sea

Alone and dying, and a thousand miles from home

I know I never was so bvroken and alone

I searched the sky for God, shivered to the bone

Drowned in sorrow, Lost in the Ozone

No hand for me, abandon me

Wash over me, watch over me, drowned forever

Alone and crying, and a thousand miles astray

Alone upon the cruel sea, forsworn and cast away

I turned my face to God, but his fase was turned away

Lost in the Ozone, nothing left to say

Lost in the Ozone, nothing left to say

Nothing left to say, nothing left to say

Wash over me

Back to back, you see me now

Show me what you're hiding here

I can't move if I don't sing

I can't stand I got no chair

Can't see me, I'm the man, ain't no joke

Can't see me, master plan, up in smoke

Can't hear me, I'm so loud, suits me fine

Can't hear me, I ain't proud, all the time

Follow me, and don't you move

Stop at nothing,show your teeth

I can see you I'm not deaf

Two years later, twice a week

Can't see me, I'm the man, laid in bad

Can't see me, give a damn, Motorhead

Can't hear me, up your way, ring your chimes

Can't hear me, I can't stay, all the time

I can tell you it ain't me

I won't be no beast up there

Turn me 'round 'cos I can't dance

Be a spaceship, I don't care

Can't hear me, stand up straight,row my boat

Can't hear me, hit the deck, fishtail goat

Can't see me, on the game, ain't no crime

Can't see me, aeroplane, all the time

We bear your names, we come to you

We own the game we run to you

We bring the blazing sun to you

We bring the blazing gun to you

We are your children grown and strange

We are your children unashamed

You breed contempt we mock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

We bring the shake, we bring the shake

We say these things to shock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

We climbed into the mean machine

We saw the ad, we bought the dream

We rather victims of neglect

We will not be what you expect

We are your children, strange and weird

We are your children, free and clear

You breed contempt we mock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

We bring the shake, All hearts to break

We bring these words to mock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

We bring the shake, All hearts to break

We bring these words to mock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

The only thing that I regret

I didn't take what I could get

You owe us much, you owe us life

We owe you nothing eat the knife

We are your children chosen few

We are your children come for you

We bring the world to shock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

We bring the shake, for goodness' sake

We bring the truth to mock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

We bring the shake, we bring the shake

We bring the shake to shock you now

We bring the shake to rock you now

Hear my voice, hear my voice, hear my voice

Make your choice, make your choice, make your choice

Beat the drum, beat the drum, beat the drum

Hide the sun, hide the sun, hide the sun

Devils in my head tonight

All is wrong if it's not right, take care

Whispers in the walls I hear

Nothing ever made quite clear, beware

Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell

Make me well, make me well, make me well

Show your hand, show your hand, show your hand

Make a stand, make a stand, make a stand

Angels in my heart tonight

Say the word and make it right, so dark

Angels flying in my dreams

All is never what it seems, take heart

Speak my name, speak my name, speak my name

Feel no shame, feel no shame, feel no shame

Take your time, take your time, take your time

You are mine, you are mine, you are mine

Monsters in my eyes today

I can't make them go away, it's true

Strangers in the world it seems

Nightmare visions, fever, dreams

I dream of you
