Альбом Powerman 5000

Spinning complacently in the darkness,
Assses the mess. Indeed, indeed
Famine, bullshit, corporate greed,
Elections stolen like a bird steals seed

Space shots, stations, circling high
Trillions for each and every try,
Down here, we simply, daily die

i'm not a spaceman but on the other hand
i never really did fit in this world
hands up to misfits, the ones that don't fit
i know that you know that you know who you are

this is a theme to a fake revolution
a battle won and lost with confusion
this is a theme to a fake revolution
make no mistake there is no solution

we are the kings of misery
born and raised with no ability
'good luck suckers' is the battle cry
finally a purpose a reason to die

this is a theme to a fake revolution
a battle won and lost with confusion
this is a theme to a fake revolution
make no mistake there is no solution

finally a message, a meaning, a thought
to help you remember all you forgot
to wash that illusion out from your head
and rebuild the nonsense that you were fed

Let’s go

Everybody needs to start their own fire,
Everybody needs a riot of their own,
Everybody needs to be something that they are not,
Everybody needs to go it alone,
Because…. Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can’t be what you want to be,
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can’t see what you need to see,
Okay !!

In all the time spent hanging on to anything,
In all the time spent knowing that they’re wrong,
In all the time wasted, stolen back, innocent
You won’t get a second more, so move it along,

Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can’t be what you want to be,
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can’t see what you need to see (2x).

Wishing and hoping and thinking, it’s you,
Who’s got this all under control,
Never a minute has passed you all by,
When they haven’t invaded your soul,

It’s not something you can hold,
It’s not something you own,
It’s not something you can buy or steal,
You’ve got it when you’re alone,

Being free is a tragedy,
When you don’t know yourself,
Being free is a tragedy,
When you don’t who you are,

Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can’t be what you want to be ,
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can’t see what you need to see (2x).

Let’s go ! Hey, hey, hey,
All right man…. This is the story of your life, man.

the sky is falling
it's a curious condition
it ain't a fallacy
it ain't superstition
you live your life
like you're some kind of actor
but this scenario
you cannot manufacture

we're gonna need some action
we're gonna need some action soon!
trapped in a world of ordinary madness
it's all the same, there's nothing new

where'd you learn how
to be so complacent?
they beat you down
and you might as well face it
your heroes lied

I wanna be the richest American
I wanna live out on the street

So many reasonsto just do nothing
To walk around like you're out on your feet

So here we are now running in circles
We shoulda listened to H.G. Wells

We're living in the age of frustration
We're giving in but we can't even tell

And all you need is one good reason
One good reason you don't believe

You want a mapped out blank Existance
So you don't feel stupid before you leave

Everybody's here but nobody showed up

A is for apathy
For apathy
For apathy

A is for apathy
For apathy

For apathy

I wanna be the richest American

Green says go blood red stop
You gotta hit the bottom before you hit the top

So make the call which side you on
Back with the weak go down with the strong

Do you understand
Its not too late!

Oh yeah
How come everything is not like it used to be
And how come everything is never the same
Your head spins, turns around a look of confusion
This can't be real, I think it’s only a game

They said one way, you’re going
One way to be and
I can’t believe in those words

The truth is there is no truth
Mystified, can't compute
Well I said forget about
Everything you’ve heard

You won’t last that long
You won’t last that long
You might as well transform
You won't last, you won't last

How come everything is not like it used to be
And how come everything is never the same
There you wanna, gonna get, first time, last place
Nothing stays the same here, including your name

I’ve seen it all twice before
They try to be original
Disappoint the way of the world

The truth is there is no truth
Mystified, can't compute
Well I said forget about
Everything you’ve heard

You won’t last that long
You won’t last that long
You might as well transform
You won’t last, you won’t last

[Oh yeah, baby - be your right man that’s the truth]

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

What's the meaning
You must be dreaming
To want the meaning of life
I heard you screaming
To know the meaning
To know the meaning of life

You won’t last that long
You won’t last that long
You might as well transform
You won’t last, you won’t last

You won’t last that long (you won’t last that long)
You won’t last that long (you won’t last that long)
You might as well transform (you might as well transform)
You won’t last, you won’t last

You won’t last that long
You won’t last that long
You might as well transform
You won’t last, you won’t last

You won’t last that long
You won’t last that long
You might as well transform
You won’t last, you won’t last

Oh Yeah! Yay!
Baby, baby!

Look around
Look around
Tell me what you see
It's going down without you

Look around
Look around
Show me anything
That makes you feel like I wanna belong

What have you got
What do you need (from me now)
What do you think
There's no difference between me and you

Hey!
What’s on top of the world when you get there
What’s on top of the world (hey, hey!)
What’s on top of the world when you get there
What’s on top of the world

Step it up
Step it up
Before you disappear
I'll crawl a mile 'neath your shoes

Step it up
Step it up
It's the payback
The fix told you what you needed to do

What have you got
What do you need (from me now)
What do you think
There's no difference between me and you

Hey!
What’s on top of the world when you get there
What’s on top of the world (hey, hey!)
What’s on top of the world when you get there
What’s on top of the world

What’s on top of the (hey!)
What’s on top of the (hey!)
What’s on top of the world (hey, hey!)

What’s on top of the world
When you get there
Waiting for me

Hey!
What’s on top of the world when you get there
What’s on top of the world (hey, hey!)
What’s on top of the world when you get there
What’s on top of the world

What’s on top of the (hey!)
What’s on top of the (hey!)
What’s on top of the world (hey, hey!)

What’s on top of the world
When you get there
And who's selling it to me

It's here, It's gone, The sound, Its gotcha
It's here, It's gone, The sound, Its gotcha
It's here, It's gone, The sound, Its gotcha

It's here, It's gone, The sound

Yeah, yeah

This could have been about a lot of things
But it's not so don't stop and try to look for the message
The world moves and it don't ask why
Your kids will burn red hot like the fourth of July

I could have told about what's in-between of the head and the hand
But you wouldn't even understand
I could have told about the rise and the fall
But this time I swear it's not about anything at all!

This ain't a song about nuthin'
This ain't a song about nuthin' at all
This ain't a song about nuthin'
This ain't a song about anyone or anything

[Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah]

This could have been about a lot of things
But it's not so don't waste time to look for the meaning
You heard so many things you couldn't recall
But this time I swear it's not about anything at all

This ain't a song about nuthin'
This ain't a song about nuthin' at all
This ain't a song about nuthin'
This ain't a song about anyone or anything

This ain't a song about nuthin'
This ain't a song about nuthin' at all

Not anyone, not anything
Not anything, not anyone
Not anyone, not anything
Not anything, not anyone
Not anyone, not anything
Not anything, not anyone
Not anyone, not anything
Not anything at all, anything at all

This ain't a song about nuthin'
This ain't a song about nuthin' at all
This ain't a song about nuthin'
This ain't a song about anyone or anything

This could have been about a lot of things
But it's not so don't stop and try and to look for the message
This could have been about a lot of things
but it's not so don't waste time to look for the meaning

Trap door in every step
Truth is I can't connect
Move along I work in stages
Where you at
It looks like cages
See a little, see a lot
Come around see what you're not
Up and down, but never out
Last one here is left to shout

You’re just a stereo
Stereo
Stereo
You’re just a stereotype
(You’re just a stereotype)

You’re just a stereo
Stereo
Stereo
You’re just a stereotype
(You’re just a stereotype)

Sometimes the worst is best
Pick it up and beat the rest
Dig deep to find every scrap
Tragedy can make you laugh
Sign up and sell your soul
What's that
It's rock and roll
Don’t get it, you never learn
Where it's cold, it's where you burn

You’re just a stereo
Stereo
Stereo
You’re just a stereotype
(You’re just a stereotype)

You’re just a stereo
Stereo
Stereo
You’re just a stereotype
(You’re just a stereotype)

You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereotype
Oh yeah!

You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereotype
Yeah, yeah, alright

Now gather round
Look what I found
For you to duplicate
It's easy now
To hear the sound
It's time to recreate

You’re evil rebel tortured soul has been rejected
Now walk the line and act exactly as expected
Let’s go!

You’re just a stereo
Stereo
Stereo
You’re just a stereotype
(You’re just a stereotype)

You’re just a stereo
Stereo
Stereo
You’re just a stereotype
(You’re just a stereotype)

You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereotype
Oh yeah!

You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereo
You’re just a stereotype

You’re just a stereotype
You’re just a stereotype
You’re just a stereotype
You’re just a stereotype

*in reverse: You’re just a stereotype*

The opposite of bravery
Has always been conformity
Don't trust your friends they'll sell you out
Cause they don't know what you're about
They wanna change everything
To make you think you'll be so strange
But listen up and see it through
I'll say it now: They don’t listen to you!

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it was true
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, So why didn't you?

The enemy within yourself
Is always blaming someone else
Don’t trust yourself, you’re not okay
Your time will come but not today
They clamp down on your neck
You’re giving up with no respect
I think I know what’s up your sleeve
But what you see now you cannot believe

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it was true
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, So why didn't you?

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it was true
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, So why didn't you?

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it was true
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, So why didn't you?

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it was true
I knew it, I knew it, I knew it, I knew it was You!

I'm the king of the air
Not that you really care
I'm the one that sends all those messages
The ones that help you survive
And make you feel so alive
The ones that sound like the voices in your head!

Hey!
That's right!
Hey!
That's right!
Hey!
That's right!
Hey!

Sent to you from above
With the lies that you love
With a voice that can tell you anything
Now the message is clear
Put your hands in the air
It's time to take on the world one last time

You like it louder
A little louder
You can't stop (can’t stop)
And it's not up to you

You need it louder
A little louder
You can't stop (can’t stop)
And there's nothing you can do!
Let's go!

Hey!
That’s right!
Hey!
That’s right!
Hey!
That’s right!
The sound that they give you ain’t the sound of the nation!

Ten songs in a row
And this is all you should know
I really hope I can become one of them

Fix it up like a hit
In stereo make it fit
But can you really tell one from the other

You want it louder
A little louder
You can't stop (can’t stop)
And it's not up to you

You need it louder
A little louder
You won't stop (can’t stop)
And there's nothing you can do!
Let's go!

Hey!
That’s right!
Hey!
That’s right!
Hey!
That’s right!

The sound that they give you ain’t the sound of the nation!
