from the album "Hau Ruck"
FREE YOUR HATE
Silence is golden, ignorance bliss, better off not asking what you'd rather forget.And as the vice grip choke holds, all of our freedoms are meeting their end,
And for the wars they wage, numberless troops lie wounded or dead.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Free your hate, crusade in the days of rage, perilous folly, rise up against your fate.
Free your hate, crusade in the days of rage, tireless cunning, stampede and break your chains.
Terror at gunpoint, torture at large, enemy combatant labelled a threat without trial or charge.
Repetition of history, messenger, prophet, martyr for God.
All for one, once and for all, reclaim your power, the tyrant must fall.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Free your hate, crusade in the days of rage, perilous folly, rise up against your fate.
Free your hate, crusade in the days of rage, tireless cunning, stampede and break your chains.
HAU RUCK
Malt doch nicht immer den Teufel an die Wand, euer ewiges Gewimmer kostet den Verstand.Krempelt hoch die Ärmel und atmet tief durch, wir werden es schon schaffen, trotzet eurer Furcht.
An Deck jetzt alle, drauf und dran, spuckt in die Hände, packen wir's an.
Hau ruck! Ruck, zuck!
Macht gute Miene zum bitterbösen Spiel, ihr habt nichts zu verlieren doch gewinnen könnt ihr viel.
Schnallt den Gürtel enger, nähret euren Zorn,
Den letzten Kriegen die Hunde, schaut entschlossen nur nach vorn.
Zusammen jetzt alle, zieht den Karren aus dem Dreck.
Unsere Rücken, unsere Fäuste nur das Mittel zum zweck.
Hau ruck! Ruck, zuck!
YOU'RE NO GOOD
Deceitful, unforgiving, whoever the hell you think I am, bring me to my knees, let me be myself again.Forgive, forget, hold it against me in contempt, drowning me in tears, bitter salt that knows no fear.
I'm better off alone, keep to myself so nobody knows, misery follows me wherever I go.
Hello, I'm back again, run while you can, hello, I'm back, it's me, the mother lode of misery.
You're no good. (Misery follows me wherever I go.)
Deranged in paranoia, I am just no use at all, don't count on me, I won't be responsible.
Punishing discontent, got to get a grip, my mind's working overtime, twisting in a tourniquet,
Ticking like a time bomb, another pound of flesh, red alert, emergency, I'm headed for a crash.
Hello, I'm back again, run while you can, hello, I'm back, it's me, the atom bomb of misery.
You're no good. (Misery follows me wherever I go.)
To have, to hold, all in good time, I'd ruin that too.
I'm better off alone, keep to myself so nobody knows misery follows me wherever I go.
NEW AMERICAN CENTURY
Count your blessings, walk the line, don't move too fast or fall behind.There are rules you must obey, they get rewritten by the day.
Don't do this, don't say that, your every move is logged and tracked
By the all-oppressive eye, spy satellites in friendly skies.
The new American century has only just begun.
No one exempt from the tragedy, counterattack, start pushing back.
Fight the power that chokes your speech, fight the power that makes you bleed,
Fight the power that propagates lies to keep you weak, keep you in line.
No one dares to say a word, our panic drives all human herds.
In the land where cash is king, our silence bought and sold for free.
The future's banging on our door, when real ID will be the law.
Love thy neighbour, turn him in, it's called patriotism.
The world is watching in disbelief, chanting 'shame on you.'
How can you stand by so quietly, letting them rape your liberties?
Fight the power that chokes your speech, fight the power that makes you bleed,
Fight the power that propagates lies to keep you weak, keep you in line.
Fight the power that reigns you in, divides and conquers, defines your sin,
Fight the power for one and all, before the power swallows us whole.
(Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it!)
You can't be bothered or concerned, you see no reason for alarm.
Prejudice, religion, hate usher in new mandate,
Absolute and resolved one nation under one god.
Lack of interest has its price as we're stripped of all our rights.
REAL THING
Cracking under pressure violently, chaos eats away the best of me.A former shadow of myself, porcelain doll, just an empty shell,
Bug in amber that can't be reached, choking on fear that stings like bleach.
Give me the real thing, give me the life,
Give me something deep, something straight, like a sharpened knife.
Give me the real thing, give me the life, give me a fresh start, like a newborn child.
Give me the real thing.
I have no friends, I'm always by myself, (I cannot pacify my shame and doubt)
Drained them dry and damned them all to hell. (I've no control or any will to stop)
Everything perfect just melts away, I've got the touch like evil prey.
Talking pictures in black and white spitting their venom back at mine.
Give me the real thing, give me the life,
Give me something deep, something straight, like a sharpened knife.
Give me the real thing, give me the life, give me a fresh start, like a newborn child.
Give me the real thing.
Everything old is new again, my only crime buried under cold skin.
In the quiet of my tiger's eye, cross my heart and hope to die.
EVERY DAY'S A GOOD DAY
The biggest mistake was to let you near me, I'm speaking to you but you won't ever hear me.Close to the touch but aeons away on a distant planet on another day.
I thought we were even, I hoped it was cool, your guilty pleasures made you a fool.
I extended it all but you turned it to dreck, you keep trashing my name and stabbing my back.
I shall not be terrorised, you will pay for all those lies.
And every day's a good day to die, fucker, die, motherfucker, bye-bye.
A spewing volcano of distortion and hate, you plead and beg me to spare your fate.
You evoke our friendship and the days of old, but I know a dish that's best served cold.
The gleaming blade, a muffled cry, you won't live to testify.
And every day's a good day to die, fucker, die, motherfucker, bye-bye.
I gave you it all, I let you perform, you sowed the wind, now you'll reap the storm.
In the coldest blood steady-handed, I take no prisoners, the eagle has landed.
Every day's a good day to die, fucker, die, motherfucker, bye-bye.
Idiot.
MINI MINI MINI
Petit petit petit, tout est mini dans notre vie.Mini-moke et mini-jupe, mini-moche et lilliput.
Il est mini Docteur Schweitzer, mini mini, ça manque de l'air.
Mini-jupe et mini-moque, miniature de quoi j'me moque.
Mini mini mini, petit petit petit, tout est mini dans notre vie.
Ministère et terminus, minimum et minibus.
Moi, je préfère les maxis, maxi-moke et maxi-jupe.
Maxi-moche et maxi-pute, il est maxi Docteur Schweitzer.
Maxi maxi, ça respire l'air, maxitère et termaxus.
Maximum et maxibus, maxistère et termaxus.
Mini mini mini.
PROFESSIONAL KILLER
Conquer your world, study you quietly, count the ways I'll do anything you say,There will be no holding back legions of me.
So cruel, longing eternally, bittersweet possibility, a tiger on the attack, ready to bleed.
Tragically yours, obey and submit to me, I will find you wherever you hide,
Got a thrill for the hunt, a skilled criminal mind.
So calm, tracking your every move, unrelenting, my conscious clear,
Beyond a shadow of doubt, a force to be feared.
Wretched and pure, tricky and dangerous, do not question or challenge your fate,
A promise written in blood, take life for pay.
Yours is not to ask why, yours is to do and die, professional killer.
FEED OUR FAME
Watch you as you eat your own half-truths mixed with lies,Defending what you think you know, changing stories all the time.
Talking til your face is blue, tripping on your words,
Righteous in your knowledge, but you haven't got a clue.
Laughing as the web you weave tangles til you choke,
We are here and still the same, it's you that has become the joke.
We are the ones you love to hate, sleaze makes you wet below.
Aching for a taste, nothing but the best for you.
All your little fits and starts, crumbs that satiate.
Urban legend drama only serves to feed our fame.
Our celebrated legacy, no flimsy house of cards.
Hero worship or disdain, we take you all for what you are.
Chitter chatter jabber, you're the pilot to our shark.
We've toured these oceans long before, our territory firmly marked.
We are the ones you love to hate, sleaze makes you wet below.
Aching for a taste, nothing but the best for you.
All your little fits and starts, crumbs that satiate.
Urban legend drama only serves to feed our fame.
READY TO BLOW
I can hardly breathe, lost and hopeless, down so low.Something died inside, I just can't believe it.
Violent tendencies, murder, madness, good gone bad.
Try to talk about it, nobody believes me.
Static in my head, lines blur red, got my mind made up and my trigger finger ready to blow,
Finger on the trigger, I'm a barrel of a gun, ready to blow.
Life draws out of me, spent and broken.
All mixed up, crying out in vain, somebody release me.
Evil speaks to me, caustic rage, I've no control.
A living hell of hate, sinister, deceiving.
Static in my head, lines blur red, got my mind made up and my trigger finger ready to blow,
Finger on the trigger, I'm a barrel of a gun, ready to blow.
Out of my mind in this fucked up head, I want everything that I never had,
A little something, a reason why, ready to blow, I'm ready to die.
Depart this world on a silver bullet, I never believed I would ever pull it,
Now's the time, here's my show, ready to go, I'm ready to blow.
Time stands still for me, black and blistered.
Drown my sleep, let thy will be done, make it quick and easy.
Static in my head, lines blur red, got my mind made up and my trigger finger ready to blow,
Finger on the trigger, I'm a barrel of a gun, ready to blow.
AUF WIEDERSEH'N
Alt und müde, fett und kahl, ausgesetzt im Jammertal,Dumpf und trübe, hohl und leer, aus dir wird ganz bestimmt nichts mehr, nimmermehr.
Schwach und grau, der blanke Hohn, scher dich fort, du stinkst ja schon.
Ab der Lack, aus der Traum, Schall und Rauch, das nackte Grauen.
Aber ich (but I), ich bleib nicht stehen (will never stop),
Es muss weitergehen (it must go on), auf Wiedersehen.
Aber ich (but I), ich bleib nicht stehen (will never stop),
Es muss weitergehen (not for you), auf Wiedersehen.
Die letzte Fahrt für's alte Wrack, aus der Traum und ab der Lack,
Schluss vorbei die Luft ist raus, spiel zu Ende Ofen aus.
Dreckschleuder, Rattenfänger, ausrangiert, abgeschlossen, durchgeknallt, abserviert,
Umgestürzt, eingesackt, angeschmiert, abgekackt, abgekürzt, abgefuckt und ausradiert.
Ab der Lack, aus der Traum, Schall und Rauch, das nackte Grauen.
Schluss vorbei die Luft ist raus, spiel zu Ende Ofen aus.
Schatten deiner selbst, Lügenverschwörung, Gift und Schnaps und Selbst Zerströrung.
Ausradiert, verlorene Zeit, Folterqual in Ewigkeit.
Aber ich (but I), ich bleib nicht stehen (will never stop),
Es muss weitergehen (it must go on), auf Wiedersehen.
Aber ich (but I), ich bleib nicht stehen (will never stop),
Es muss weitergehen (not for you), auf Wiedersehen.

SUPERPOWER
Another millennium and none the wiser, I'm the one unparalleled Germanizer,Hunted, shunted never ever to stray, I am the man who goes by the name of Käpt'n K.
Superpower, a force in its own, superpower, we're going it alone,
Superpower, ascendancy from dust, superpower, the power you can trust.
Eyes on the road, one fist on the wheel, all maximum throttle, full pedal to the steel,
Pearl for swine, the rock, the gem, unadulterated, understated, love or hate it, KMFDM.
Superpower, with power to spare, superpower, extra-extraordinaire,
Superpower, relax, enjoy, superpower, KMFDM ahoy.
Anchor for the rancour of the secret elite, chaos, mayhem, ultra-heavy beat.
LOOKING FOR STRANGE
(Beat by beat)Jetlag limbo, can't decide, like molten rock I turn to stone.
Take me outside myself, do it nice and slow, somewhere beyond the great unknown.
Get ready set, all systems go, good life, godlike, want to see it from the inside,
Bound down, gun-shy, looking for strange.
Go on, give it to me, don't stop, let me feel it, looking for strange.
Faster, harder, more, last chance, no return, looking for strange.
Down here in the underbelly, no words are used to speak at all.
The mind goes somewhere, comatose from lack of sleep, will I ever learn to talk?
Get ready set, all systems go, good life, godlike, want to see it from the inside,
Freefall, swan dive, looking for strange.
Go on, give it to me, don't stop, let me feel it, looking for strange.
Faster, harder, more, last chance, no return, looking for strange.
Echoes scream without a sound, mirror pond reflects no face.
Shellshock, avalanche, dialled out, can't be reached, no failsafe, panic at close range.
Get ready set, all systems go, good life, godlike, want to see it from the inside,
Bound down, gun-shy, looking for strange.
Go on, give it to me, don't stop, let me feel it, looking for strange.
Faster, harder, more, last chance, no return, looking for strange.
Girls and boys, guns and noise, beat by beat.
Be the best that you can be, best to your ability.
Your future bright and ours to take, do exactly as we say.
Step right up, sign right here, your name in blood, have no fear.
TOHUVABOHU
Ask no questions, hear no lies, there's no smoke without a fire.Fortune always favours the bold, first deserve then desire, all that glitters is not gold.
Ex nihilo, alea iacta est, tohu va bohu.
Audeamus, res ipsa loquitur, tohu va bohu.
Desperate diseases, desperate cures, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Pride goes before the fall, all things will pass.
After us, the deluge, we shall not last, the die is cast.
Ex nihilo, alea iacta est, tohu va bohu.
Audeamus, res ipsa loquitur, tohu va bohu.
Ex nihilo, non omnis moriar, tohu va bohu.
Audeamus, non omnis moriar, tohu va bohu.
The fairest flower soonest fades, the darkest hour's just before the dawn.
A friend to all is a friend to none, you never know what you've got, you never know until it's gone.
I AM WHAT I AM
Intimal, obsolete, I overslept, arrived too late, if nothing is as nothing does, I guess my time has come.Weather underground is overcast and chilly, then the truth is never pretty when you wield it like a gun.
Quick, catch me, lost control, my pants are down, I've been exposed.
It's not the way it looks, I swear, there's nothing I wouldn't dare.
I heard it all, did it my way, you can't change, I am what I am, no, you can't change me.
Give a little, take a lot, a kingdom built upon the rot; if power comes so easily, then nothing but the best for me.
Hey you, hold on, stop right there, I'm only human, let's be fair, I'll make no apologies or full confession on my knees.
No, I won't go quietly, admit I am your enemy, I'm still the one you hate to love, everything I ever was.
I heard it all, did it my way, you can't change, I am what I am, no, you can't change me.
I heard it all, made the call, took the fall, you can't change me.
SAFT UND KRAFT
Mensch oder Schwein, Sieg oder Tod, friss doch die Wurst ohne das BrotErst geschah uns Unrecht, dann geschah's uns recht.
Nichtsdestotrotz, gerade drum, nichtsdestotrotz, deshalb darum.
Erst geschah uns Unrecht, dann geschah's uns recht.
Nichtsdestotrotz, mitgefangen, nichtsdestotrotz, mitgehangen.
Totalitär, total egal, Saft und Kraft.
Erinnere Dich in stiller Andacht, mach kaputt was Dich kaputt macht.
HEADCASE
You think you're better, two steps ahead, you got a long, long way to go.Shut that hole up in your face, with your foot in mouth, do more harm than good.
Not the measure, above all things, what I aspire to.
Watch your step, don't lose your head, you might just get what's coming to you.
A bad movie I've seen before, I read you like a book.
I let it slide for long enough, but this time you're not off the hook.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, come on motherfucker, make my day.
It's too late for wrong or right, I'm finished playing nice.
You set off this whole charade, if you get what you give, what you got is a headcase.
We got a problem, we're in a fix, and it's all because of you.
Got a scratch, a bone to pick, well you've bitten off more than you can chew.
There's not a remedy, apology, you made quite sure of that.
You're out of luck, I've had enough, now it's me flipping out on you.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, come on motherfucker, make my day.
There's no way to treat you right, the olive branch has snapped.
You burned the bridge, called the dogs, if you get what you give, what you got is a headcase.
I think I'm ready for the axe to grind, got a point to prove and I never lose.
Don't for a second turn your back on me, you're not getting off so easily.
Once and for all put in your place, how loud can you get with my fist in your face?
You brought this all down upon yourself, fuck you bitch, go to hell.
LOS NIÑOS DEL PARQUE
Eins, zwei, drei, vier.Los niños en el parque son muy afortunados, van paseando y sueñan caramelos, besos y dinero, los niños y las niñas.
Los niños y las niñas van andando juntos, son afortunados, quien dice son inocentes?
Los niños en el parque son afortunados, van paseando y se dan la mano, sueñan caramelos, besos y dinero, los niños y las niñas.
Pero quien dice que son inocentes, fumaran cigarrillos, jugaran con bombas.
Los niños y las niñas son afortunados, van paseando y se dan la mano, sueñan caramelos, besos y dinero, los niños y las niñas.
Los niños en el parque son muy afortunados, van paseando y se dan la mano, sueñan caramelos, besos y dinero.
Los niños y las niñas no son inocentes, fuman cigarrillos, juegan con bombas.
Los niños en el parque son afortunados, van paseando y se dan la mano, sueñan caramelos, besos y dinero, los niños en el parque.
Los niños y las niñas no son inocentes, fuman cigarrillos y juegan con bombas.
Los niños en el parque son muy afortunados, van paseando y se dan la mano, sueñan caramelos, besos y dinero.
NOT IN MY NAME
All is quiet, nothing left to hate.No signs of life to practice what you preach, sorry comes too late.
Play a little game called blind man's bluff, add a cause to a bomb then set it off.
First part, bang, comes full stop, returning us all back to dust.
Not in my name.
Better check yourself, play your game somewhere else, a little sacrifice for your foe.
Got your sticks, your stones, a place all your own, so much for unholy war.
Regret, the bitter pill of defeat, it's ever only after, only after mistakes were made.
The urge to blow apart and set it straight, it's either do it my way or the hard way, no matter what the consequence.
Here's a little cash called hush-man money, turn a blind eye, get gone and run.
Shoot them all down, smoke them all out, we got bigger toys and media clout.
Not in my name.
Never let yourself stand above the world itself, you've no authority, you've got it wrong.
You're rich and fat, what more could you get? Damn you and your holy war.
Better check yourself, play your game somewhere else, a little sacrifice for your foe.
Got your sticks, your stones, a place all your own, so much for unholy war.
All is quiet, all is defeat.
SPIT OR SWALLOW
What's so hard to understand, which part did you not get?What exactly floats your boat, who do you abet?
Clinging to the status quo, dispute state of affairs.
Instead of ringing in the change, content with splitting hairs.
Better die on your feet than live on your knees, in the absence of justice there will be no peace.
Spit or swallow, pretend or commit, lead or follow, ideal or unfit,
Spit or swallow, palace or pit, legionnaire or hypocrite.
Hide behind your pious words, lament your desperate state.
Do you believe in action or play victim to your fate?
Better die on your feet than live on your knees;
In the absence of justice there will be no peace.
Spit or swallow, deny or admit, lead or follow, arise or quit,
Spit or swallow, rebel or submit, try or die trying, swallow or spit.
War is the rich man's terrorism; terrorism is the poor man's war.
What am I supposed to make of people like you?
What you say is not enough, it's what you do.
Cowardly bewailing, too frightened to stand tall.
Play the hand you have been dealt, you've got no balls at all.
Better die on your feet than live on your knees, in the absence of justice there will be no peace.
Spit or swallow, rebel or submit, lead or follow, swallow or spit.
Spit or swallow, drown in your blood or live in your shit.
FAIT ACCOMPLI
All things come in threes; good, bad, in between.You can chance on beating the odds but luck goes sight unseen.
Round and round, up and down, only in until you're out.
At the bottom or the top til the other shoe has dropped.
Double dare, roll those dice, raise the stakes, live or die,
You can have your pound of flesh if the price is right.
Into the unknown everyone must walk alone, and this you'd better believe keeps us thick as thieves.
Fait accompli, I'm beside myself, can't control the outcome, will I live to tell?
Bed of nails, virtue, vice, to eat your cake you will have to fight.
Every dog will have its day, as the turning wind will change.
Seven precious deadly sins, brotherhood of innocence.
Who you are and how you live, there's no unfair advantage.
Paper, scissor, stone, gamble wisely and be bold, whether powerful or meek, the truth is anything goes.
Fait accompli, just a twist of fate, there's no rhyme or reason how I find my way.
Fait accompli, I'm beside myself, can't control the outcome, will I live to tell?
BUMAYE
Fatally beautiful and twisted, couldn't help be drawn in.Fearlessly bold determination, only trouble you have been.
Carry murder in your heart, like poetry, a work of art.
Knew just how this would end from the very start.
Let it all be done.
Walk the gauntlet, toe the line, hell hath no fury like my kind.
Murder, madness, death divine, seek my wrath and ye shall find.
Shame on you, cut me til I bleed, taking more than what you need.
Apathy, an omen forewarning, couldn't help but heed the call.
Your prize possession skeletons, scattered bones laid to rest,
So many secrets, I'm surprised you haven't choked.
I learned a thing or two about your sick devotion, so there's no misunderstanding, I'm onto you.
Bumaye, let it all be done.
Es hat mich so erschreckt, du hast mich so schrecklich erschreckt,
Ich bin ängstlich und habe fürchterlichen Durst, ich bin ärgerlich, so furchtbar verärgert,
Und dermassen geladen, dass ich kotzen könnte.
