Small parts isolated and destoyed

DARK AGES

We are living in the, in the dark ages 

Haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages 

All the information is locked far beyond 

Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon 

And we're fast asleep with our dreams seething in 

And though all is still we are still breathing 

But it's him in the dark, he makes me null and void 

But it's him in the dark, 

I think I m paranoid 

A world of half-truths, what goes 

Unspoken lines of communication are stripped and broken 

And the dark is cold with hands freezing 

But this deep-freeze seems strangely pleasing 

And the powr-trippers receive facelifts 

And the button-pushers all work night shifts 

And the misdemeanors seem so ghastly while the media punch is so lasting 

And the eastern comrades find out much too late 

And free men are free to subjugate under megashadow, under nine to five 

Still it's self-extinction that keeps us alive 

We are living in the, in the dark ages haven't seen some daylight in what seems ages 

All the information is locked far beyond 

Locked in circuits and bathed in silicon 

I don't know go to sleep we are in the dark ages 

JUNK

He thought he was putting his things in the right place 

Everything had a name and everything had a place 

But now there's so much of this stuff around 

That when we look down on the ground 

There is nothing there to see 

Well, you're probably saying to yourself, 

„I guess they buried it somewhere else" 

Wait a minute, wait a minute, please wait a minute 

Just bend your neck, just crane your neck, just twist your neck 

But don't break your neck and look above you, look above you 

Above us is the garbage, below us is the earth 

Above us is the garbage, below us is the earth 

And each day, each hour, each minute, each second 

We're crawling, crawling, clawing, falling more, more, more, more it's junk 

AND THAT'S SAD

We should not make a fuss what would become of us 

We should not 

And that's sad and that's sad 

We must hold on tight 

Hold on with all our might all our might 

And that's sad 

I demand what you should be in the name of decency 

You'd do the same for me and that's sad 

SMALL PARTS ISOLATED AND DESTROYED

It's been said before but I ll repeat it 

Don't you feel like you've been cheated? 

It's been shoved down your throats, you eat it 

They say it's true, you believe it 

chorus: 

Small parts isolated and destroyed 

See the big boys play with their toys 

There is one thing I will never do 

Trust you 

There's one thing that I have learned 

All god's children will get burned 

And if it comes down to me or you 

Who do you think I will choose? 

What's the deal? 50% of the door? 

Well, then, come on in, come on in for more 

What's that you say, we get a guarantee? 

Then fuck right off, you mean nothing to me 

Isn't this a sweet romance so why don't you get off your ass and dance? 

"What about me? What about me? Can I get in for free? Can I get in for free? 

You know me, you remember me 

Can I get in for free? can I get in for free?" 

Come on in! Come on in for free! 

Don't mind the heat, don't mind the smoke 

All that screaming? It's just a joke all that screaming? 

Nah, it's just a joke come on in! Come on in for free! Come on in! 

It's on me! The joke's on me 

I'm tired of being close and feeling abused 

And all those deep discussions make me wanna puke 

And you're all going to see a lot less of me 

I'm not the comrade that you hoped I d be 

chorus: 

Everybody's in the groove filling the dance floor, 

Two by two (hey boy, I might want to fuck you) (hey girl, I might want to fuck you too) 

There's liquor on your breath and magic in the air 

Now we're really going to get somewhere 

This is for all you girls and boys 

Small parts isolated and destroyed 

It's too late baby It's too late man oh baby, oh baby 

You've been beaten up inside 

You've been beaten up inside 

That's the high point of your life 

That's the high point of your life 

I was beaten but I died (or is that just another lie?) 

It's been said before but I ll repeat it 

Don't you feel like you've been cheated? 

It's been shoved down your throats, you eat it 

They say it's true, you believe it 

Small parts isolated and destroyed 

I'd rather die than be a toy 

There is one thing I will never do 

Trust you 

VICTORY

When I set out on this journey I thought it would never end 

When I started down that road I could not see the end 

And when I took that first step I fell in so deep 

And all those things that were so hard-won I thought I would always keep 

Now what do you think I see standing like a wall in front of me 

Defeat, not victory 

Defeat, not victory 

Defeat, not victory 

chorus: 

So what are you going to do? Die? 

No you gonna lay down and die? 

No I will not admit defeat I will not admit defeat 

I will see victory 

Pride and deceit have choked my life like weeds 

And I lost sight of what I really had what I really need 

And all the things I should've valued 

I gave away for a prayer and a song 

And now when I reach out for them they are gone 

Now you know what I see standing in front of me 

Like a headstone a fucking monument to human misery 

Defeat, not victory 

Defeat, not victory 

Defeat, not victory 

chorus: 

Do I have any friends here? 

I can't see are any of my friends here? 

I can't see what about you? 

Will you be a friend to me? 

What about you? Will you be a friend to me? 

I've got a question to ask you and then you can ask it of me 

It's a simple request and then you can make it of me 

Can you forgive me? Can you see what will be? 

Is it victory? 

Now I can't show you all the things I ve seen 

And I can't make you feel anything 

Certainly not what they meant to me 

And someday I know, no matter how hard we try 

We are all going to have to lay down and die 

So maybe I should just tell you what I hope and believe 

For every defeat there will be a victory 

For every defeat there will be a victory in defeat, 

victory 

TERESA, GIVE ME THAT KNIFE

Can you picture me standing there? 

I see it can you picture me way up there? 

I see it now my whole life 

I see it now my whole damn life 

Teresa, what would you die for? What would you die for? 

What would you die for, teresa? What would you die for? 

Teresa, give me that knife give me 

That knife teresa, give me that knife give me that knife teresa 

Can you picture me there? 

There I m almost there 

I'm almost there I m almost there 

Teresa, what would you die for? What would you die for? 

What would you die for, teresa? What would you die for? 

Teresa, give me that knife teresa, give me that knife teresa, 

Give me that knife teresa, give me that knife teresa 

REAL LOVE

Real love is scary 

You try to hide when it looks for you 

You never know what it will do 

Not real love 

Not real love 

Real love is a long stone bed, he said his face a mask of indifference 

And it don't care about me or you 

Not real love 

Not real love 

Real love on a sunny day is a crow on a telephone pole with something to say 

And you feel like someone has just walked on your grave 

That's real love That's real love 

The glory of love The glory of love 

That precious rain that falls from above 

First a gentle murmur that calls from the heart 

And then a great wind that will blow you apart 

That's real love 

That's real love 

Like a ghost it will pass right through you 

A spirit that lives on when you are through 

And there is nothing that you can do 

The wind in the trees 

The smell of wet leaves 

The rumble of a passing truck 

A streak of blood 

Please forgive me for what I ve done to you 

And lord forgive me for what I m going to do 

In the name of... 

Real love is scary 

You try to hide when it looks for you 

You never know what it will do 

And it don't care about me or you 

And there is nothing you can do about real love anyway, 

That's what I heard a crow say but who cares what a crow say anyway? 

Especially about something, something something so strictly personal (real love) 

Can you feel it? Can you feel it? 

That wind on your face 

You can get down on your knees and pray 

But nothing that you do or say will make it go away (real love) 

It's like thunder, 

Like lightning the way 

You love me the way you love me 

The way you love me it's frightening 

LONELY

You tell me I should not be all by myself, 

That's good advice 

I'll hum a tune and break the ice 'cos I m lonely 

Everyone looks good to me 

But I m afraid that I can see that good intent and honesty do not redeem stupidity 

When all is said and all is done 

You either know or down you go into the pit of shallow wit with all the other hypocrites 

You're not bad, you're not good 

You're a solid block of wood 

You have eyes but cannot see why I despise your company 

I am lonely 

People come, people go 

They put on their little shows 

See them laugh, see them cry 

See them live their little lies 

I'm alone with you and I m lying too 

I'm alone with you and you're lying too 

Oh, we are all liars and that's all that's true 

I'm alone with you I m alone with you 

I'm lonely lonely lonely just a lonely guy. 

Yup, that's me...
