FREEDOM

so that you don't escape
they chain your thoughts
with links of 
honor and morality
I find freedom
in the madness of breaking
the cage that
they call reality

DRUGS

I don't want to think I don't want to be sensitive
I'm still awake I want as much as possible
I want to stop time
the present for myself
I'm already tired
I need a lot to stand out
my brain needs stimulation
you can give a damn about everything
and create your own world
you can close yourself in 
and escape by closing your eyes
you can try to stop time
and escape from the future
to find yourself in the same place
but moved back a few lots
the euphoria is gone and the colors
are only the rags you wear
you shake and tremble
from fear and hunger
you reach out your hand begging
for just one centimeter
the illusion of shelter
the stop of nightmares
your brain is frozen as if in jelly
your time is coming
do drugs kill?
are you killing yourself

PUNX

disagreement with reality
rebellion against its mechanisms
strength individualism
independent thinking
punk is destruction destroying patterns
rules and forms in thinking and action
it is removing boundaries between people
our no future is rejecting
a "normal life" devoid of prospects
so-called "normal work"
"normal society"
it is saying NO to the state, church
social opinion and fascism
don't be just an ordinary consumer
sex and money really aren't everything
put your beliefs into action
and you put your beliefs into action
and rebel against every fashion
against those who tell you how to act
live your own way according to your own reason
reject patterns and false morality
believe in the power of your reason

CIVILIZATION

tired, devoid of feeling
rotten lepers
organisms hollowed out
destroyed by a disease
conventionally called civilization
industry that destroys
torns the body
poisoned hands
bloodshot thoughts
ever shorter
flashes of consciousness
ever longer lethargy
producing to live
producing to destroy
elimination of colors
gray instead of warmth
steel and concrete
instead of green
we slowly destroy
the universe of our body
we cut off with a blunt
industrial knife
our hands and feet
brain vasectomy
we obediently open
cracked lips
and the steel hand of civilization
slowly tears out our hearts

I AM STRONG

I think and act
I don't try to be strong I am strong
because I have one hundred percent faith in myself
I know who I am I know where I'm going
I don't swallow the crap of the masses
I destroy discouragement I destroy stagnation
I don't doubt myself I'm not afraid of aggression
It's easier to believe in anything
It's easier to be weak
You follow the line drawn for you
You say - "it doesn't concern me"
You go and live a lie forever
You believed your parents in television school
It's strength, not passive resistance
that will crush the hordes of fascist bastards
It's our desperation that makes our enemies have to reckon with us

YELL

moloch - moloch
moloch - the specter of moloch
moloch - without feelings
moloch - moloch of the mind
moloch - cruel judge of man
moloch - incomprehensible prison
moloch - with crossbones
moloch - soulless jail and congress of grief
moloch - mighty boulder of war
moloch - governments for which the crowd is mad
moloch - whose mind is pure machinery
moloch - whose blood are streams of coins
moloch - whose fingers are dozens of armies
moloch - whose chest is a cannibalistic dynamo
moloch - whose ear is a smoking grave
moloch - whose eyes are a thousand blind windows
moloch - whose factories dream and cackle in the fog
a behemoth - whose antennas and chimneys are the crowns of cities
a behemoth - whose love is the vastness of oil and stone
a behemoth - whose soul is electricity and banks
what a sphinx of cement and aluminum
has smashed their skulls
has devoured their brains and imagination

DON'T KILL

we have been taught at school and at home
on TV and in newspapers to accept violence
rape and killing as natural
components of life, which they are not
don't kill and don't die for god, honor and country
being a pacifist won't stop the war
but by not being part of the war
you are taking the only possible step
a step towards life in a normal world
fuck your nationality
throw off the shackles of your homeland, patriotism, the shackles
trample on the flag, spit on the eagle
destroy the symbols, go beyond the framework
I can't get a hard-on when I listen to the anthem
honor can be bought and sold
I will not kill in the name of god
stick your banner up your ass
by opposing the tradition of violence
you stand outside it and no longer support it 
in other words you do something for peace
even if it seems to you
that nothing is changing

POEM

listen until you go deaf
stare until you go blind
breathe until you lose your breath
think until you annihilate
bleed into the sun
love until you are disgusted

TV

like a butcher skins animals
television strips us of our feelings
overload of information makes it difficult to understand
overload of information makes it difficult to understand
illusion of life murder of feelings
indifference
like a butcher skins animals
television strips us of our feelings
slouched in an armchair you look indifferently
at people being killed, at starving children
raped women you snack on crisps
you change the channel with the remote control, it's about to be horror

MY LIFE

no one has the right to 
devour my life
with obligations to the state
and other such nonsense
no man has the right to decide for me
even if he thinks
that it will be better for me

WHEN

when they take you into the army
they'll cut you down, they'll disguise you, and you'll stand in line
just like everyone else
suppressed and leveled, and you'll be given an order
and you don't have to follow it 
but the later consequences of insubordination
will mean you have no alternative
don't be afraid, they know
how to force you to obey
they'll teach you how to lose
they'll destroy your self-confidence
and your individuality
they'll teach you that you're weak
you think that when you get out
everything will change
you'll do your part and you're free
but the seed of training
is sown in you
to live independently, you won't be able to anymore
fuck the army, fight for your ego
fight for peace of mind

PARANOIA

don't you see the hypocrisy on politicians' faces
when they babble about common interests
in a mad race for profits
big corporations are killing nature
do you see yourself in a society
sick with an excess of lack of feelings
among people who in banks called churches
exchange their fear for paranoia
no more entrusting your life
don't let people decide for themselves anymore
the authorities lie, the clergy also lie
they act in their own interests
turn your pain and fear into hatred
don't exchange reason for paranoia

HATRED

imprisoned in the cells of unconsciousness
we find freedom in the super-reality
we tear false faces to blood
we turn pain, fear, suffering into hatred

AWARENESS

you look at the world through the eyes of institutions
that have been kneading your mind since childhood
you perceive reality in one dimension
the dimension that was imposed on you
but all is not lost yet
as long as there is a chance that you will realize
what they are doing to you
what they have already done to you
you blindly follow the path of knowledge
perception of phenomena according to established rules
you think you are thinking, but it only seems to you
they are thinking for you, the thoughts in your head
somewhere on the side of the path of knowledge
there is a place for your harmless rebellion
don't go this way, break the herd
open your eyes, understand that this is not the way
I am looking from a different point of reference
stand with me and look through my eyes
you will experience a powerful sense of freedom
which is based on the awareness of enslavement
awareness
