from the album 
MEGALOMANIAC
Die Wunder dieser Welt werden dir geschenkt.Glück ist nicht käuflich, Sehnsucht bleibt unerreicht.
Preisrätzel winken nimmersatt, Kein Mitleid für die Mehrheit.
Nihilistic mystics, apostolic alcoholics, messianic manics, cataclysmic and prolific.
In the age of super boredom, hype and mediocrity,
Celebrate relentlessness, menace to society.
This is counterculture from the underground.
Eternal revolution, this is our sound.
KMFDM, better than the best: megalomaniacal and harder than the rest.
Refuse is our inspiration, terrorism our trade,
Sabotage and piracy, chaos our mental state.
Mesmerising, festering, intended for the faint of heart,
Cultish and anthemic, until death us do part.
This is counterculture from the underground.
Eternal revolution, this is our sound.
KMFDM, better than the best: megalomaniacal and harder than the rest.
Wenn der Untergrund bebt ist die Ordnung eschüttert.
Der Verrat an der Seele macht Leben ungesund.
Mit unschlagbaren Reimen werden wir uns vertreiben.
Die Zeit der langen Weile bis zum grossen Bums.
Like a fiendish tropic virus spitting bile on all you whores,
Razor sharp tongue in cheek poking in your open sores.
A wolf in sheep's clothing, the ultimate disgrace,
Wrapped up as a gift of God exploding in your face.
This is counterculture from the underground.
Eternal revolution, this is our sound.
KMFDM, better than the best: megalomaniacal and harder than the rest.
STRAY BULLET
I am your holy totem, I am your sick taboo.Radical and radiant, I'm your nightmare coming true.
I am your worst enemy, I am your dearest friend.
Malignantly malevolent, I am of divine descent.
I am your apocalypse, I am your belief unwrought.
Monolithic juggernaut, I'm the illegitimate son of God.
Stray bullet from the barrel of love, stray bullet from the heavens above.
Stray bullet, ready or not, I'm the illegitimate son of God.
I have come to rock your world, I have come to shake your faith.
Anathematic anarchist, I have come to take my place.
I am your apocalypse, I am your belief unwrought.
Monolithic juggernaut, I'm the illegitimate son of God.
Stray bullet from the barrel of love, stray bullet from the heavens above.
Stray bullet, ready or not, I'm the illegitimate son of God.
(Even if God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish Him.)
I am your unconsciousness, I am unrestrained excess.
Metamorphic restlessness, I'm your unexpectedness.
Stray bullet from the barrel of love, stray bullet from the heavens above.
Stray bullet, ready or not, I'm the illegitimate son of God.
LEID UND ELEND
Dein Boot verlässt den Hafen unserer Stadt.Alleine fährst du in die klare Nacht.
Nur noch fünf Minuten wünsch ich dir.
Meine wahre Sehnsucht kommt mit dir.
Ich liebe dienen Mond in meiner Nacht.
Ohne deine Sonne ist kein Tag.
Du bist doch mein Stern am Firmament.
Ich bin der Stein und du bist mein Zement.
Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid, mein Herz ist dein Herz.
Geteiltes Glück ist halbes Glück, dein Schmerz ist mein Schmerz.
Dein Leid, mein Elend, mein Leid, dein Elend,
Mein Elend, dein Leid, dein Elend, mein Leid.
Du bist meine Taste am Klavier.
Alles was du wolltest spiel ich dir.
Deiner süssen Wunde süsser Saft
Macht mich sehr getrunken ohne Schnaps.
Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid, mein Herz ist dein Herz.
Geteiltes Glück ist halbes Glück, mein Schmerz ist dein Schmerz.
MERCY
I went through too many people, I went through heaven and hell.I went from Rome to Baghdad, too many stories to tell.
What do you mean by that? Mercy is all you get.
Do what you won't regret. Freedom's your self respect.
I lived through too many æons, I've risen up and I fell the fall.
I have been there and I have done that, I've seen it all and all.
What do you mean by that? Mercy is all you get.
Do what you won't regret. Freedom's your self respect.
My time is running like water, deeper I dive and deeper.
Last of nine lives of the cat, I saved my soul for the reaper.
What do you mean by that? Mercy is all you get.
Do what you won't regret. Freedom's your self respect.
TORTURE
My motivations unresolved, things are just never what they seem.Apathy's currencies, deceit, pitch bending, radiated dreams.
The jackal's wishing well forgotten, dark cloud sunrise.
The view of someone somewhere else is burned in my eyes.
(How long?) Dug up remains, the rotting fame to see right through the hole I knew,
The clear eyed stain to set aflame, to be set up and taken out.
The antlike karma from the crack in the head,
Full painting on a mural in a foreign landfill,
Mind controlled by the pulling of the strings,
So remote, the view from the puppetry swing set.
My reservations have evolved; scenes once negated, ushered in.
Mercy killings, one to one defend, the visionary criminals descend, on knees all burning.
A term of lifeless, useless thought, what a paid ride.
Alchemic gaol cell vivisection, test subject day job.
(How long) to pacify? You still deny from up above, the tripping sound
To kick back down the creeping crown, the holy cheat, the leap of faith.
These revelations undermined, controlled belief in leads mankind.
Each penny sold and mesmerised, twofold reversal beckoning.
The binding crayon words inverted: in justice travestia.
(How long?) Dug up remains, the rotting fame to see right through the hole I knew,
The clear-eyed stain to set aflame, to be set up and taken out.
We worship acid moans and curbside holidays,
Recycle shit we throw away in glossy packaged craze.
Maybe in a day or so I'll stumble on that grassy knoll
To set the record straight, announcing to myself, wake up.
We kill everything that's not tied down.
We euthanise but keep alive the lowest form of prison life.
So useful and experimental, treatment of the sick and dying.
What about the torture?
SPIT SPERM
I keep account of my hits and my misses, the bottle makes the final call.Fuel me with some of your kisses, turn towards the weeping wall.
Distilled within your discipline, return to go and start again.
Bleeding on your hallowed ground, I'm gonna lay this sodden soul right down in spit, sperm.
Your TV is my teacher, confessional and preacher, forgive me Lord for all this hate, I simply am inebriate.
See the gun, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck; see the gun, let it lie, you'll want that gun before you die.
This moral bankrupt stinking vat of shit-fuelled lies and empty highs,
Bled between these piss stained lines and hid behind my glazing eyes.
ANARCHY
Break my back, you won't break me; all is black, but I still see.Shut me down, knock me to the floor, shoot me up, fuck me like a whore.
Trapped under ice, comfortably cold, I've gone as low as you can go.
Feel no remorse, no sense of shame, time's going to wash away all pain.
I made a god out of blood, not superiority; I killed the king of deceit, now I sleep in anarchy.
Sacrifice to the cause, turn your code into law; compensate to validate the loss, take a thief, nail him to a cross.
Gospel of rage, faction of hate, deviate from the absolute; born of revenge, raised on cement, chaos created government.
I made a god out of blood, not superiority, I killed the king of deceit, wake me up in anarchy.
DOWN AND OUT
Welcome aboard the crazy trip, circle of fools say hi.Watch your step or you might trip, we're glad you came on by.
The guys and I prepared a brew you really ought to taste.
It makes you strong and makes you
, don't let it go to waste.All of us are going down.
Great that we pretend that we are all that.
We enjoy ourselves; should we get some help?
We have always failed, yet there is no doubt,
Can't go wrong from here; we are down and out.
Care for some sweets to chase your drink? I see you've quite a thirst.
No, you can't yet go, first things must come first.
All of us are going down.
Great that we pretend that we are all that.
We enjoy ourselves; should we get some help?
We have always failed, yet there is no doubt,
Can't go wrong from here; we are down and out.
Delicious, not? You feel alive? You need a little space?
So, you're not feeling well? What's wrong with your face?
Great that we pretend that we are all that.
We enjoy ourselves; should we get some help?
We have always failed, yet there is no doubt,
Can't go wrong from here; we are down and out.
Holy smokes, we goofed again, the brew was not quite right.
We'll throw him back behind the pen and try again tonight.
Welcome aboard the crazy trip, circle of fools, say hi.
Watch your step or you might trip, we're glad you came on by.
Great that we pretend that we are all that.
We enjoy ourselves; should we get some help?
We have always failed, yet there is no doubt,
Can't go wrong from here; we are down and out.
UNFIT
You are the sweetest disease for me. I can't hear you say please to me.There's nothing you cannot say to me. Come on, get down and pray with me.
Get down, shut up, come on in, it's time to take your medicine.
I'm unfit, I'm unfair, you can't feel, and I don't care.
Get down, shut up, come on in, it's time to take your medicine.
I'll wipe a stripe on you tonight, I'll tee you high and you will fly.
There's no feeling inside of me. You'll see nothing can hide in me.
You'll find nothing can feed on me. Don't look, listen or believe in me.
Get down, shut up, come on in, it's time to take your medicine.
I'm unfit, I'm unfair, you can't feel, and I don't care.
Get down, shut up, come on in, it's time to take your medicine.
I'll wipe a stripe on you tonight, I'll tee you high and you will fly.
You are the sweet disease in me. I cannot hear your pleas to me.
There's nothing you can't say to me. Come on, get down and lay with me.
Get down, shut up, come on in, it's time to take your medicine.
I'm unfit, I'm unfair, you can't feel, and I don't care.
Get down, shut up, come on in, it's time to take your medicine.
I'll wipe a stripe on you tonight, I'll tee you high and you will fly.
WASTE
What I don't know I don't like, what I don't like I don't want, what I don't want I waste.I hypnotise with alibis and fingers made of lead, I sympathise with frozen eyes turned inwards in my head.
I realise to my demise it's better left unsaid that columns crash down endlessly and I will end up dead.
What I don't see I don't know, what I don't know I don't want, what I don't want I don't need, what I don't need I don't feel,
What I don't feel I don't say, what I don't say I don't do, what I don't do I don't like, what I don't like I waste.
I theorise I'm on the rise when all I do is fall, I victimise my love of life; I've seen and done it all.
Ready, steady, stop, hurry up and wait, the ticking of the clock delineates your fate.
What I don't see I don't know, what I don't know I don't want, what I don't want I don't need, what I don't need I don't feel,
What I don't feel I don't say, what I don't say I don't do, what I don't do I don't like, what I don't like I waste.
Ready, steady, go, finish off your plate before you even realise it's gonna be too late.
I don't know what I see, I don't want what I know, I don't need what I want, I don't feel what I need,
I don't say what I feel, I don't do what I say, I don't like what I do, I just like to waste.
from the album "ADIOS"
ADIOS
It's been too many times that I stuck out my neck for you.It's been too many times that I spoke my mind to you.
It's been too many times that I caught all the flak from you.
Apathetic crap is all I can find in you.
I don't want no part in this, I don't feel the need to score.
Burnt all bridges, closed my heart. I don't want to be a part no more.
До сведаня, ciao, adieu, hasta la vista, I'm on my way.
Goodbye, さようなら, auf nimmerwiedersehen, over and out and down the drain.
It's been too many times that I raised my voice at you.
It's been too many times that I walked the line with you.
It's been too many times that I've had no choice but you.
Hypocritical slime, I've had it this time, fuck you.
I don't want no part in this. I don't feel the need to score.
Burnt all bridges, closed my heart. I don't want to be a part no more.
До сведаня, ciao, adieu, hasta la vista, I'm on my way.
Goodbye, さようなら, auf nimmerwiedersehen, over and out and down the drain.
SYCOPHANT
I'm the liberation of intoxication, the abomination of infatuation,The epitome of the enemy, perfect agony until infinity.
I'm the indication, not the conformation; I'm the inclination, the determination.
I'm a helping hand down in neverland, I'm a sycophant, I am mega man.
I'm the falling rain, I'm your brother Cain, I'm a shot of pain right into your brain.
I'm an accident, I'm a dissident, the empowerment of the incompetent.
(So many jokes, so little time.)
(KMFDM's gonna rock the house.)
(Expect the impossible.)
D.I.Y
A new revoution, the ultimate war, KMFDM is back for more.Twice the mayhem, triple the force, ten times the action, total hardcore.
Shanghai, Stockholm, Berlin, Tel Aviv, the world rotates to the ultra heavy beat.
From the gutter to the top, KMFDM will never stop.
Violence, anger and anarchy, a megaton load of toxic debris.
Money, power, all you can eat, the manifestation of ultimate greed.
Tokyo, Moscow, Chicago, Madrid, the world rotates to the ultra-heavy beat.
From the gutter to the top, KMFDM will never stop.
Rip the system, throw it away, no legislation can stand in our way.
Anti anti in the USA, ends with an M, begins with a K.
D.I.Y, destroy what destroys you. D.I.Y, do or die.
TODAY
Isolation, when you leave it's like I disappear.Desolation, every time you go it feels like seconds slowly turn to minutes, a month of Sundays coming up.
Time again it pulls me under, wonder if I'll ever rise above, it's too much, but not enough.
Misery loves company for a little bit of sympathy.
It's here today, but it's gone tomorrow, it's here today, and today will never come again.
Desperation, sinking into somewhere dark and cold; deviation: a place I knew I didn't want to go, to forget is all I know.
Misery loves company for a little bit of sympathy.
It's here today, but it's gone tomorrow; it's here today, and today will never come again.
Minutes slowly turn to hours, another moment passes by, seconds of eternity, I wonder if it's time to say goodbye.
WITNESS
Interplanetary frequency, alteration of destiny.Interplanetary frequency, surrendering to my ultimate destiny.
The spaceship will come to take us away, out of the orbit and into the light.
We're gonna be picked up and sent a flight, get ready to join us, escape the destruction, enjoy the abduction.
Surrender, supernova.
I will always praise my maker, I will always return to my taker, I will never be a faker, I will never be a forsaker.
They are visiting us for their genetic testing, I don't think it's such a blessing.
Then again, how can I know? I must not judge so much, you know?
The message I've got is simple and easy, when we get on the spaceship, we must not flip.
We have to be fearless, it helps to keep smiling, are you ready to join us, avoid the disaster and be with the master?
Surrender, bend over.
I will always praise my maker, I will always return to my taker, I will never be a faker, I will never be a forsaker.
Immortality, mortality, I am unsterblich, sterblich, I'm a witness.
A UFO factory, with millions of robots around.
One of the entities drew blood from my finger into a syringe.
Was it against my will? It was a thrill.
Hey, you, humanoid. Where do you come from? Do you know your maker?
I think they need us, and I think we don't need them.
Don't try to rationalise it, just analyse it, advertise it, be fearless.
R.U.OK?
That's fine with me, don't think I care, do what you want as you see fit.That's quite alright, it's all okay, just be yourself, it's fine with me.
For a second you might wonder if it's real.
If that's alright, just say okay. If that felt good, let's go again.
For a moment you might question what you see.
For a second your whole world will disappear.
This is mind control and you know it. This will shut you up and you know it.
What's wrong with you? Are you okay? Are you still here? Don't slip away.
Just breathe in deep and stay awake, don't close your eyes.
For a moment you might question what you see.
For a second your whole world will disappear.
This is mind control and you know it. This will shut you up and you know it.
That's all you get; it's all you need.
THAT'S ALL
Read the vision, map the system, soon to look into the mind.Rediscover one another from abnormal points in time.
Fascination, wish a way in, to depart before they find.
Get defamed in isolation, two plus one, negate divine.
Feed the vicious escalation, never felt such close connection.
Feel the fever patch persuasion, newsprint, newspeak, never mind.
Suffocation and delusion from what angle see the truth in.
At an angle, point of friction, freefall tip off destiny.
I've got a fistful of money, I'm down with the twist.
There's plenty of ways, no way to resist.
Every little thing is gonna be fine, what I like is gonna be mine.
I've got a fistful of money, I'm high at risk.
There's plenty of ways I couldn't resist.
Six billion souls and one urge to live.
I've got a fistful of money and nothing to give.
Free the hostage situation, taken as a simulation.
Never was a war more real taken for a dollar bill.
Currency add more corruption, added population problem.
Feeding hunger, starve the weak, newsprint, newspeak, never mind.
I've got a fistful of money, I'm down with the twist.
There's plenty of ways, no way to resist.
Every little thing is gonna be fine, what I like is gonna be mine.
I've got a fistful of money, I'm high at risk.
There's plenty of ways I couldn't resist.
Six billion souls and one urge to live.
I've got a fistful of money and nothing to give, that's all.
Hate in love, desert in good favour, diversification of the current flavour.
Speak in tongue like empathy's son, see the soul disengaging the sicker they come.
I've got a fistful of money, I'm down with the twist.
There's plenty of ways, no way to resist.
Every little thing is gonna be fine, what I like is gonna be mine.
I've got a fistful of money, I'm high at risk.
There's plenty of ways I couldn't resist.
Six billion souls and one urge to live.
I've got a fistful of money and nothing to give, that's all.
FULL WORM GARDEN
A token left with judgement, a memento left ajar, a secret never wanted, death defying little charms.How to defend, pretend selective, piss away so long neglected, pretty frozen underground from above the odour leering.
Pass the meat from which I stink of, all those tethered whetherwise.
A bloodstain, all the wiser, desperation kicks the stool, a little bruise to lose, demure, a staple cut and dry.
In the sink, dissection, decimation is the rule in determining direction, acting agent, act the fool.
Pass the meat from which I stink of, putrid helping kept inside.
Tincture, warning, second cousin to the new invention; addictive, so charming, second only to a forced infusion.
Tincture of lead, be said, with no remorse, full of confusion; wish to enjoy this weightlessness, lay me out, full worm garden.
A prick upon the finger, looking back like looking through, to develop in the mixture of a portion of a view.
The distant elevation of a faded, wicked high; divination, ask a question of a spirit for a thing you used to hide.
Pass the meat from which I stink of, passed out serving on the side; from the meat I'm suffocating, cutting from the bone to hide.
Tincture, warning, second cousin to the new invention; addictive, so charming, second only to a forced infusion.
Tincture of lead, be said with no remorse, full of confusion; wish to enjoy this weightlessness, lay me out, full worm garden.
A noose knit put on sweater, tie it up around the arm, looks to grip along the trigger down the barrel of a gun.
Assume today a game to play, cardboard house in disarray, tremble little joker think, dig it deep, don't be afraid.
RUBICON
Cross the Rubicon, burn the fire sign, only victory is bliss.Bend a broken rule, break the symmetry, put all progress in remiss.
Rinse out the ugly and purge every demon.
A small step for progress, a leap for the mind.
The smoke never settles where everything's even.
A poke in the eye, the equation is nil.
Violence for inner peace, bombing for therapy, terror is everything you need.
Cross the dotted line, fake your destiny, give a finger, take a hand.
Use the enemy, turn the outside in, tell the prophet it's the end.
Money is power and power's corruption.
There's nothing to gain from the absolute truth.
Natural selection is based on deception:
The ignorant elder empowers the youth.
Violence for inner peace, bombing for therapy, terror is everything you need.
BEREIT
Tragische Gedanken, wie im Netz verfangen, tauchen ihre Pranken in ein kühles Grab.Gespenstische Visionen haben leise Sohlen.
Du fällst aus allen Wolken, wirst Dich nie erholen.
Aus der Haut zu fahren, aus dem Staub zu machen,
Nicht mehr einzukriegen nicht der Mühe wert.
Verlassen uns die Kräfte, wir brauchen neue Säfte,
Verloren alle rechte am Busen der Natur.
Ich glaube nicht an dieses Glück, an Brüderschaft, an die Verfolgung dieses Glücks.
Gerechtigkeit entfache, gib uns eine Rache.
Die da hilft der Sache sich auszubalancieren.
Viele Augen weinen werden es bereuen.
Sich zu früh zu freuen Hoffnung wird zu Schreien.
Ich glaube nicht an dieses Glück, an Brüderschaft, an die Verfolgung dieses Glücks.
Oh Mutter Erde, gib einmal Acht.
Ich mach Dir 'ne Freude, hab Dir was gebracht.
Das Lied vom Betrügen, das Lied von der Macht.
Die Strophe wird enden, es ist fast vollbracht.
Wir drehen uns im Kreise, im gleichen Takt,
Schneller und schneller, es ist fast vollbracht.
Oh Mutter Erde, hörst du uns schreien?
Wir sind Deine Kinder und haben es satt, wir sind bereit.
from the album "ATTAK"
ATTAK/RELOAD
Watching you, floodlights seal your fate, shallow breath, quick pulse, navigate.All this waiting, contemplating you.
Pure adrenaline emergency, you've been searching for signs, now the truth has arrived.
State control, attack reload.
Theoretical, illusory, volunteer to the ultimate system of life.
Brace the blow, attack reload.
Molecular breakdown, mutate below, cause and effect to react and explode.
Static rush, gravitational pull of delirium.
Close my eyes, hear what you say, got the guns, the power to take,
Bomb the one that slipped away.
Temper tantrum, you communicate, it's your nature to be cold,
Automatic how you operate, system failure, brain control.
Attack reload.
SKURK
I don't need your contradictions, I'm not gonna play that role, I don't need you telling me I've got my back against the wall.If all I've got is everything and everything is all you want, if I give you just a little bit, you're gonna try and take it all.
I feed my anger with the fucking bullshit that you preach, I bleed forever and not a thing you do can comfort me.
Obey authority, live in conformity, I do for you what you do for me.
I don't fear the confrontation, I'm not afraid to take the fall, I'm not gonna step aside, I'm not letting you make the call.
If everything is all I've got and everything is all you want, if I give you just a little bit, you're gonna try and take it all.
I feed my anger with the fucking bullshit that you preach, I bleed forever and not a thing you do can comfort me.
Obey authority, live in conformity, I do for you what you do for me.
DIRTY
Just one call will cure it all, take my toll and break my fall, come and join my little war, you could be my broken whore.I do not need express excess, I do not need your sordid sex, I do not need to hear your cries, squirming on the pin of ice.
Cause you hurt me when I'm dirty; come on, hurt me cause I'm dirty.
Heaven can't take me, hell don't care, KMFDM gonna take me there.
Is your lie, is your high gonna drink you dry? You'll crawl and die.
Do you want, do you pain, do you need in your vein, to release, to relapse, to reload and collapse.
A little joke, we're getting flirty, a bit of rope and now we're dirty.
Heaven can't take me, hell don't care, KMFDM gonna take me there.
Is your lie, is your high gonna drink you dry? You'll crawl and die.
URBAN MONKEY WARFARE
All you want is a scapegoat; all you want is to get absolution from shame.You have nothing to lose anymore, never was anything worth to be lost in this war in the first place.
They make you hate their name, prostrate yourself in the arena of blame.
Nothing at all is left to be said, the flag's gone up and the dawn is red.
Headed down the hard way, concrete battleground, urban monkey warfare, sabotage underground camouflage.
Man monkey man, urban gorilla.
All you know is reflection, all you know is the code to hack and crack.
The truth lies buried in shallow graves, who's afraid to claim it back?
Headed down the hard way, concrete battleground, urban monkey warfare, sabotage underground camouflage.
Man monkey man, urban gorilla.
SAVE ME
If you don't know if you have found what you are looking for, the silver lining always starts to fade,And what you don't know is that you don't know the truth anymore, now you try sleeping in the bed you have made.
The feeling is gone and the circle is broken, like water under a burning bridge.
A million words, but nothing is spoken, a deafening silence replaced by fear.
Save me, I can't find my way home; the grace I've fallen from, the only truth I've ever known.
So when you tell me what you tell me, I can't take it anymore, the same old story goes around and around.
You think that if you speak a little louder than you did before, the point you make might somehow stick around.
If empathy is no more than a token, I cry a river in the pouring rain.
The princess still sleeps, but she will be woken, her kiss of love is killing me.
Save me, I can't find my way home, the ground I'm walking on, the only friend I've ever known.
Mother, father, the battle I fight is for no one, no one but myself; brother, sister, the devil inside is my own now.
There's no way you could understand, you don't understand.
Save me, I can't find my way home, save me.
Mother, father, the tears that you cry are for no one, no one but yourself.
Brother, sister, I travel this road on my own now, there's no way you could understand.
Save me, I can't find my way home, the grace I've fallen from, the only truth I've ever known.
Save me, I can't find my way home, the ground I'm walking on, the only friend I've ever known.
YOHOHO
Yohoho and a bottle of rum, I'm in the gutter but I've got the gun.Sixteen men on a dead man's chest, a little lead for a little rest.
Go slow on the torture show.
Yohoho, here's the fun, you get to go, I get to come.
Six bold strokes and no new jokes, the lost and found's your only hope.
One's for shit, and one's for shame, and now the hurt fans the flame.
Pull me in, drag me down, you can be the captain as we're tumbling always down.
Go slow on the torture show.
Fear not what you can't see, the pulse, the pain, the ecstasy.
A hollow space, an empty grave, the best laid plans are meant to fade.
Here's the lard in leather glove, answered dreams straight from above.
One's for shit, and one's for shame, and now the hurt fans the flame.
Pull me in, drag me down, you can be the captain as we're tumbling always down.
SUPERHERO
You're so wonderful, apple of everyone's eye, you're so clever, multi million dollar smile.The world is your oyster and pearls are fun, share them with everyone that you love,
And you love everyone always all of the time.
Missing link, you eat your own, dear, bird of prey you can't control, in your world, perception hazy.
Connection precise, cave in, bow to the other side, you're a superhero, demigod.
No one anywhere, anytime, any which way but you.
If the mirror speaks the truth, we must aspire and work harder to be like you, cause anything goes when you're a star.
Regal, elegant, you are bewitching and wild; fifteen minutes, a lifetime, they just don't apply.
Shudder to think it could ever be true that anyone else is as lovely as you, you bear the name and the lineage that we desire.
You're a superhero, demigod, no one anywhere, anytime, any which way but you.
If the mirror speaks the truth, we must aspire and work harder to be like you, cause anything goes when you're a star.
In the shutterbug flash you look fabulous with your made to order plastic mask, you look so divine.
You're a superhero, demigod.
STURM&DRANG
You make and break you own restrictions, you write and prove your own revisions, you become new.You sweat and bleed pure fascination, you thrive upon disintegration, you break through.
The truth, the lies, all fabrications; only you control your destination, you are what you do.
Sturm und Drang dir gehören, Sturm und Drang Kunst erleben, Sturm und Drang, neu und fremd. Sturm und Drang, mein KMFDM.
You put aside your resolution, you dig into a new conclusion, you become new.
You revel in the deconstruction, you feel your mind become a weapon, you break through.
The truth, the lies, all fabrications; only you control your destination, you are what you do.
Sturm und Drang dir gehören, Sturm und Drang Kunst erleben, Sturm und Drang, neu und fremd, Sturm und Drang, mein KMFDM.
Wiederaufbau und Vernichtung, Wirklichkeit und Heldendichtung, edle Wahrheit und Legende, KMFDM zum bitteren Ende.
PREACH/PERVERT
Blackened blood that stains this bed, my sweet addiction, I thee wed.You will work, I will win, I will drink in all your sin,
Till gallon drunk, I hit the ground, your reason rhymes with pence and pounds.
Money makes morality, your dividends, my decency.
You will condemn, I will convert; you will preach, I will pervert.
Your cheapest cut is sweet corrosion, the interest due is never frozen.
Pass the bill, have your thrills, there's a pill for all your ills.
You will condemn, I will convert; you will preach, I will pervert.
(Lay on your face and beg that the mercy of God will come upon you.)
RISEN
A full three-sixty, a complete return, with no excuses and no concerns.The ultra heavy beat is going strong; if it feels this good, then it can't be wrong.
Karma, echo, eternity, what's good for you is still good for me,
And after all, we're not looking back, we manipulate the future to stay on track.
Damned if you and damned if you don't, you better seize the moment before it's gone.
The ultra heavy beat goes on and on, when it's all said and done, this is what you want.
The vision direction reflecting perfection, the manifesto translates postmortem.
Buried alive and left for dead, one step back is two steps ahead.
Rise from the ashes and decay, rise from the prison of your grave,
Rise above the standard and the norm, rise into the eye of the storm.
Raise the flag and carry the flame, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
The king is dead, long live the king; mayhem, riot, uprising.
A small step for mankind, a giant leap for rock and roll.
We control the rhythm, the beat cops are on patrol.
Wake up, people, get on your feet, it's time to do your part for the ultra heavy beat.
Rise from the ashes and decay, rise from the prison of your grave,
Rise above the standard and the norm, rise into the eye of the storm.
Shoulder to shoulder, back to back, all guns ablaze, systematic attack.
Strong and rigid, bold and vivid, spread the news, the ego has landed.
Metal detectors, drug tests, curfews; don't let the system continue to rape you.
Vodka and benzene, destroy the machine, the glorious end justifies the means.
Rise from the ashes and decay, rise from the prison of your grave,
Rise above the standard and the norm, rise into the eye of the storm.
SLEEP
Don't say you can't, just do what I would do for you.You watch my back, and I'll be there to cover you.
Do as I say and never question what I do.
Two feet away, there's trouble closing in on you.
Close my heavy eyes now, give me sleep.
I travel troubled oceans across the land and sea.
from the single "BOOTS"
THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN'
You keep saying you got something for me, something you call love, but confessYou've been messing where you shouldn't have been messing, and now someone else is getting all your best.
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep lying when you ought to be truthing, and you keep losing when you ought to not bet.
You keep same-ing when you ought to be changing, now what's right is right, and you ain't been right yet.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing, and you keep thinking that you'll never get burned.
Well, I just found me a brand new box of matches, and what he knows, you ain't had time to learn.
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do, one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.
BACK IN THE U.S.S.A.
We're gonna make you sorry for every word you say, like U-boat commanders, we stalk our prey.The name of the game is to be the strongest, last one laughing laughs the longest.
The future belongs to those of us still willing to get our hands dirty.
Voyeuristic, vile, and victorious, KMFDM is back, bow to the warriors, back in the USSA.
You're just a knotty old stump, a rusty battle cruiser, too tired to riot, you idiot, you loser.
The future belongs to those of us still willing to get our hands dirty.
Voyeuristic, vile, and victorious, KMFDM is back, bow to the warriors, back in the U.S.S.A.
(KMFDM, doing it again.)
Eternity's strange affliction, overload blackout to fix one nation.
(A treat for the freaks, truth or dare.) Narcissistic creature, (are you ready for this?)
My attention is fixed, (we don't care) never in madness, abomination of the awkward kiss, you make me sick.
