Arms in arms

I am sitting here and I watch the news,
see all this hunger and the greed.
Another man has killed himself,
he could not feed his family.
Another war for money,
children die in ‘friendly fire’,
tell me where does all this hate come from,
how long’s the killing going on?
Arms in Arms and armed up to the teeth, power and money is what they believe. They stand in line and fight a war against our rights and against us all.
They keep us down, they feed us lies.
Spy out our lives and bomb our minds.
Take a look down to Greece
and you’ll find out that George Orwell was right:
“The further a society drifts from the truth,
it will hate those that, those that speak out loud.”
Arms in Arms and armed up to the teeth, power and money is what they believe. They stand in line and fight a war against our rights and against us all.

With your fists burried in pockets and your worn out Guevara Shirt,
You talk about a revolution, one day it will work.
With a mouthful of beer the working class will change the world
And wipe off slavery across the planet earth.
Peace, freedom and socialism that sounds like a plan.
Oh hey hey hey, the revolution’s just a beer away.
You grew up a punkrocker and you talk all day long,
about all the important bands, you know every song.
You stop immediately every time you see a cop on the street,
but run away long before you even know what’s going on.
Peace, freedom and socialism that sounds like a plan.
Oh hey hey hey, the revolution’s just a beer away.

Decisions

Life is full of surprises both of good ones and of bad
You cannot always know what will come next
But you have to make decisions which way you wanna go
And I can only tell you it’s not an easy thing to do
Some people become lawyers, doctors or scientists
Making a good living stay on the safe side of the road
But what can they do with their money and no time to spend
Work all day long never see their children play
No – oh, I don’t know where to go
Having to make decisions (I don’t know)
No – oh, I just don’t know where to go
I don’t wanna get crazy
Others are making music, write poems, paint or act
Living their dream with empty pockets
But how wrong can it be doing something you really love
Living a life full of passion what more could you want
And when is the right time to grow uo and raise a family,
for giving someone else the gift that you once received
Cause how cool is it to stay young when you’re living in a nursing home and wait all day long for someone who’ll never come
No – oh, I don’t know where to go
Having to make decisions (I don’t know)
No – oh, I just don’t know where to go
I don’t wanna get crazy
The only thing that I know for sure is when the final day has come
I don’t wanna look back and regret a thing I’ve done.
