Intro 02:22
2.
Hey Heads Heads of Nations Declaring responsibility For better life of millions of lives In reality you cause even more deaths Being responsible for millions of lives You kill more people in every war You deserve a punch To your face Go to war yourself or make it end You deserve a punch To your stupid face Go to war yourself or make it fucking end You liar! You murderer! You hypocrite! Left or right wing Is the same direction Open your eyes And look beyond The show is on Don’t be blind
3.
Fucking indifference of humankind Affected our world Blood is flowing on the streets How can you still be so blind? You’re fucking blind They take control of you By scaring you with terrorism To make you feel safe They're gonna put a chip under your skin Infected with a virus They’ve put us in credit chains They chained us Take a loan, buy a new car Mark your child, this is the new law And go to war, create new states What is next? New World Order! Open your eyes, not so many of us left Those fuckers are implementing new plan Where human life is worthless New age, new world New order, new war
4.
Your God 02:53
Who gave the rights to judge other people? Who invented racism to make us feel unequal? Who breath in people so much hate? They can’t even use their brains Why they’ve got a heart if they can’t even love? They can’t even love so why they’ve got a heart? Wasn’t your God created by yourself? Wasn’t your God sent down from heaven? War should’ve begun in your mind War to conclude a peace inside It’s not too late to open your mind To change the world into a better place Without the war and without the worries World without the war and without the worries Give me your hands I will open my heart Let’s change the world to a better place War should’ve begun in your mind War to conclude a peace inside your mind War!

1984 02:43
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better. Happiness or Freedom? War is peace! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength! Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then? What then?
6.
You said to me One day there will be No violence, no hate, no crime You said peace is the way I believed But I’ve seen so many creatures Put down with cold blood And I cried Eye for an eye The world is blind My heart is burning And I’m dying inside You said to me That one day the world will be at peace But first we need to kill Maybe die But first we must fight My fist was bleeding And the smell of blood of a stranger Made me cry Eye for an eye And the world Will be blind One day there will be No violence, no hate and no crime One day there will be peace And we don't have to kill And we don't have to die

Rat Race 03:06
Are you scared when you falling asleep? Do you have nightmares in the middle of the night? When you wake up are you full of life? Do you still want to live and fight for all your dreams? Does this race ever end? And is there any happy ending? Do we have to fall down? When we come so high How heavy is your cross you bear on your back? Maybe it is time to take it down? Do you live in peace with your own soul? And if you will be gone will anybody cry? I am scared I don't want to fall I’m not in, not part of this Fuck you all, I’m out of this race I’m not a part, part of this race I’m not scared anymore
8.
Lying on the floor, trying to reach the sky Pleasure just begins, music flows in veins You can hear your heartbeat and your growing hair Pleasure just begins, music flows in veins You feel so good, that you can hear your heartbeat You feel so good, you feel your growing hair You feel so good, that you could die! Feeling so divine you'd like this to remain Physicality doesn’t count only state of mind Lying on the floor, twisted body and soul Your eyes rolled up, just look at you Music stops playing eyes are open now In the darkness you are trying to find You’re trying to find your healing stuff But this time you will not find Cause this time, this time You will not hear This time, this time Your liberation melody
9.
Prisoners 01:57
In this cruel world In this hopeless place We have to fight for them Until we pass away We don’t have to kill Can survive anyway Until we pass away We have to fight for them You can’t see the eyes, eyes full of pain Consumption prisoners, at the end of life's way You like the taste, you like the taste You like the fucking taste of fear On this planet life doesn't mean anything Fucking ignorants you cannot see the tears And when you are seating, seating comfy on your chair Enjoy your meal, enjoy your meal Enjoy your fucking meal of innocents When you pay for that you’ve got blood on your hands You’ve got blood on your hands
10.
When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun? When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement Or waiting in death row You can crush us You can bruise us But you'd have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton The money feels good And your life you like it well But surely your time will come As in heaven, as in hell You see, he feels like Ivan Born under the Brixton sun His game is called survivin' At the end of "The Harder They Come" You know it means no mercy They caught him with a gun No need for the Black Maria Goodbye to the Brixton sun You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have to answer to oh, the guns of Brixton When they kick at your front door How you gonna come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun? You can crush us You can bruise us And even shoot us But oh, the guns of Brixton Shot down on the pavement Waiting in death row His game was survivin' As in heaven as in hell You can crush us You can bruise us But you'd have to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton Oh, guns of Brixton Oh, guns of Brixton Oh, guns of Brixton
