When I was younger than before
I was the one against the tide
I listened to music you think is old
And I still wear the same old clothes
I hung out with many whores
Many will be someone’s moms
Surely those who went out with a rifle
To shoot someone
We liked weird haircuts
We inhaled many strange things
And we could hear the bells
We could, very well!
We were traveling for whole days but
Many did not come back safe
And sound from those days stoned
They had bad trips
And love had almost won
But some of them were
Frozen at that point
Some of them became such
Great great assholes
Now they teach in schools what they hated they didn’t believe in nothing
We expected the war
And I thought I was going to leave
We are the same as our parents instead
The world that was there is no longer there
I don’t need all this stuff
When I was younger than before
I was the one against the tide
I listened to music you think is old
And I still wear the same old clothes
I hung out with many whores
Many will be someone’s moms
My dear motherfuckers you deserve to die
Now like before I hate everyone I know
I hate hunters and tamers from the circus
They’re a bunch of cunts
I hate this fuckers
When one dies I’ll drink another bottle
I’m happy because you shoot yourself
So one more idiot’s gone
When I was younger than before
I was the one against the tide
I listened to music you think is old
And I still wear the same old clothes
I hung out with many whores
Many will be someone’s moms
When one dies I’ll drink another bottle
I’m happy becouse you shoot yourself
So one more idiot’s gone

Dr. Tombstone
What did you build in this land?
Dr. Tombstone it’s too much for a man
Dr. Tombstone
What did you build in this land?
Dr. Tombstone it’s too much for a man
A party inside of the white rabbit hole
I lived this day more than ten times or more
I died and rose on this park bench
Like penguin, boy, seal and president
Dr. Tombstone
What did you build in this land?
Dr. Tombstone it’s too much for a man
I hated the circus since the first time
Small cages, whips, humiliation, sad eyes
No ideas and ridiculous clothes
Stupid men, so goes this world
Dr. Tombstone
What did you build in this land?
Dr. Tombstone it’s too much for a man
Do you know exatly what we need?
Do you know what we see?
We go out on LSD
On a purple grass upon lysergic trees

I'm the only one
I'm the best and this is fun
Nobody beats like me
If you want to challenge me I am ready
Go ready steady
Do you wanna, do you wanna
Do you wanna be the one
I’m the storm, I’m the night
I’m the fire, I’m the light
I’m the power, I’m the one
I'm the one that makes you sound the alarm

I’ll tell you the story you’re getting to know
My reckless life, my dreams and the drugs
I lived years that I can’t even recall
Please call me professor Tombstone
From the first time to the last time
I had a long life with ups and downs
I screwed the devil many times
And thousand times I sold my soul
I don’t think he believes me, no more
I brought the penguins from south to north
I changed my path, that leads me forward
A spark of my intelligence
That I gave to someone
Someone who could change the world
First of all
Fuck you all!
Hunters of trophies
And small shits
Politicians with ambitions
I’m sorry the world is not yours
Sleazy bats, little brain, you are a shame!

She Reads My Mind
01:43
|

She smile when I leave all behind
She knows I’m in a fool state of mind
If I’m not perfect she doesn’t mind
She has never done anything unkind
She knows my words before the answers
Yeah yeah
She knows everything, and everything
Everything I need
She smile when I leave all behind
She knows I’m in a fool state of mind
If I’m not perfect she doesn’t mind
She has never done anything unkind
She knows my words before the answers
Yeah yeah
She knows everything, and everything
Everything I need

I've been here and nobody knows
How things are and everything will go
Please listen
Will the fact lead us to decide, tomorrow never knows?
What we are or what we will become
Stop, we are the cure
I'm feeling what I'm telling you
We are the cure
Men or penguins, I'll tell you so
What we are... I'm not sure
I lived here and I’ll never go
As far as the history of humans goes
What we’ll do
We will decide whether to be part of the penguin world
What we are or what we will become
Stop, we are the cure
I'm feeling what I'm telling you (we are the cure)
Men or penguins, I'll tell you so
What we are... I'm not sure

If you felt this song, you would know me
If you learnt what I learnt in a tour
And if the world did no stop turning
What do we do it for?
Now we can talk
Here we are now
Of what has been and what will be
There is a world out there, waiting for us
And there are no things that can compete
With the life we have lived before
Colors, sounds and what they had: denied
All the teachings of the past have made us
Take wrong decisions. That’s all!
You know I lived my life
Like an endless journey
You never stop learning
My scars are my eternal tattoos
What do we do it for?
Now we can look back laughing
Tight-lipped
Of what has been and what will be
There is a world out there, waiting for us
And there are no things that can compete
With the life we have lived before
Colors, sounds and what they had: denied
All the teachings of the past have made us
Take wrong decisions. That’s all!
In the end we won’t regret too much
Of the things we could do and
We will have learned that
We know you’ll never control us
You know that we’ll
Never be as one, unique
We’re an entity apart
There is a world out there, waiting for us
And there are no things that can compete
With the life we have lived before
Colors, sounds and what they had: denied
All the teachings of the past have made us
Take wrong decisions. That’s all!

Anthropocentrism Is Over
04:32
|
|||
|
Life runs off like the roller coaster
Because we have to suffer
Let’s remove the mask
And look into each other’s eyes
Everyone wants a poster
Nobody wants to fall too low
Life runs away like a lobster
Because you have run so faster
You burned like a silly moth in the blue light
You flew too high and lost your wings
Humans were not made to fly
Think of everything
You’ve lost so far but
Start again quickly
Cause that’s what you can do
Your time is over (Wake up!)
Anthropocentrism is dead
No week of discounts (No petrol)
You will not buy a new car (No wi fi)
Today is a beautiful day
Think of everything
You’ve lost so far but
Start again quickly,
‘cause that’s what you can do
Your time is over (Wake up!)
Anthropocentrism is dead
Write it on the books (Oh yes!)
Darwin sneers from hell
Today is a beautiful day

Empty Cages

Living in a jail
Until the end from the beginning
There no confrontation between the
World outside and what you can see here
Dreaming of all the places
That you can go and you can live
I wonder if it’s possible to
Get out of here and run to be free
Born and lived without knowing freedom
Now listen to me
Animals in cages that is not a great idea
Zoo is like a jail and you
Never want to be in slavery
Humans are so foolish
One hundred years ago
The attraction was the people
You were in the cages, and that is the truth
Born and lived without knowing freedom
Now listen to me
Borders are like cages and they
Must be destroyed
Where imprisonment and death are silenced
They flow beside us with dreadful crimes
They won’t steal more lives, my cage is open
Now you must fear me

Loukanikos
01:06

This song is dedicated to the dog Loukanikos
Of square and fights he was the boss
Always in the midst of protests and demonstrations
Those that, for a long time, have raged the Greek nation
He knew where to stay and was always in the right one
Distinguished good and bad, and part was always that
And he was biting
Always the right jab
Urban guerrilla, the
Black block dog
Respected by his opponents
Even by the cops
Symbol of greece like the parthenon
For the students and against the cosh
This is the one for Loukanikos

There’s nothing that makes me
Just so more blue
Those things just can be sad but true
If anybody listen to me
We are worse than, worse than humans!
If should anyone knows how
To change direction, let us know
What are we gonna be
We are more than wrong
If we go on so badly, where we will go?
Destruction without return
All we want is a stable world
Instead of greed, pollution and war
Because we can not stop what leads us
To be worse than those who preceded us
It is not evolution, it’s dissolution
We have only one world
If should anyone knows how
To change direction, let us know
What are we gonna be
We are more than wrong
If we go on so badly, where we will go?
Destruction without return
There can not be a surrender
(Go down so low)
We are better than what we are
(Where we want to go)
Before being at a point of no return
We can not go down so low

I’m halfway to Hell in the middle of my life
I got no return ticket and I really don’t mind
There’s no time, it’s over
Nobody here is sober
There’s no time to go back
Cause I’m going to Hell, yeah!
I’m halfway to Hell, like a fly on the wall
Listening to TNT and I’m not coming home
Going back is so useless
And I don’t need more excuses
Like Angus and Bon Scott
I never get old
Going fast from here
Hell is a place to see
Like Malcolm and Bon Scott
They never get old
I’m on the razor’s edge
And Hell is my home
Sorry guys I’ve to go
I got the Devil on the phone
I’m halfway to Hell

Can you hear
The cries of the others
Some of those are standing still
What they lose
Will not come back
You can only hear the last roar
Feeling lost, feeling lonely
Like an elder lion
Screaming against the wind
Then screaming out the anger
To everything that’s against you
You can feel
The voice of the last ones
The last representatives
That will be lost forever
You can only hear the last roar
All is lost
History always regrets
The reckless choices
Try to save me before my last roar
Cause you’ll lose me my old friend
Into the void inside us
Everything will resound
Live together, die alone
This is the last roar
