No need for us to communicate We've got satellites operating in space For you and me to remain social But progress is our downfall Like and share, disconnect from the real world We sit and stare, disconnect from everything around us Like we care, disconnect. We're better than that Disconnected Hi everyone, grab your mobile phone Have you heard whats up, have you seen the news? Check your timeline before you miss a thing Am I the only one who hates that shit?

This will be the day the final score No Body Move - and nobody gets hurt! He’s digging up your treasures, Hendrik Lucifer No Body Move - and nobody gets hurt! A smoke and flame surprise act, Hendrik Lucifer Ten men dead shot in the neck He still needs more He will not rest He wants it all Lucifer Can you sleep now evil laughter, is gonna haunt you ever after. How can you sleep while you can’t even shut your eyes

I’ve been picking up the pieces. I did so from the start. I’ve been watching how the seam’s falling apart. Still I cannot shake this feeling. I remember it by heart. I’ve been watching how the seam’s falling apart. But to be honest with you. I don’t really wanna know, Cause it’ll only break me down. And I don't know where to go Till then I’m stuck with you Your eyes might be the reason I toss and turn all night. I wish that i could say that I’m alright I lost my optimism. Neglect the future’s bright. I wish that I could say that I’m alright I think I might give up without a fight and to be honest with you. I don’t really wanna know, Cause it’ll only break me down. And I don't know where to go Till then I’m stuck with you All I need is to live in peace is for you to stay away from me. Wish you the best, my friend. There isn’t any other way Take what you need and leave me be. I need you to stay away from me. Wish you the best, my friend.

Just inhale , Take it all in Before you comment Note the state you’re in How far it’s gone , how distant you’ve been Congratulations you have won Beat the angel on your shoulder Some sense into your brain Heart as heavy as a boulder Can’t help but feels like you were framed You, you framed yourself! Against better judgement , Ignoring your health Klept in twine, for all to see Pulled apart , world in debris No need to fake it anymore ‘n I wont take shit from you no more Beat the angel on your shoulder Some sense into your brain Heart as heavy as a boulder Can’t help but feels like you were framed

In 1848 some beard declared the class war In 1903 the workers strong-arm promised more Now the system's failing, who will rise to the occasion? It took a summer of love, and a decade of dissent We've lost that spirit now, let’s find it and take it back Now the system's failing, will you rise to the occasion? Walk like an Egyptian, rise like an Egyptian, A Greek anarchist, the Spanish jobless youth They all saw potential for a better, fairer world Now it's time to complete their work You might live with the fear of a truncheon in your neck Don't let it shatter your imagination, this world must move ahead You might live with some teargas in the eyes, but they can't blind what's inside If we had all the answers, I wouldn't stand here today But we need fire against injustice, and hope for a better day They can't bludgeon all our hopes and ideals just yet, we can answer all of that You might live with the fear of a truncheon in your neck Don't let it shatter your imagination, this world must move ahead You might live with some teargas in the eyes, but they can't blind what's inside

Will the grass get any greener? The trees have been without their leaves, For far too long. And it’s driving me insane, You promised that it would be summer by now. You promised it’d be summer by now. Where have you been all this time? I’ve been feeling down, Since you left me alone in this boring town. So tell me now what do you want from me? Is it my worthless time or am I worthless? Worthless at all? I’ve been waiting for the summer, I’ve been waiting for your smile. It’s worth a while. But now everything has turned to gold. And I’m still wondering if this is real, Or just another dream. Do I really see what my eyes perceive, Or am I just hallucinating? This is the season that makes me come to life again. This is the season that makes me.

So raise your hands if you claim to understand these quiet songs And shake my hand if you are just here for the fun So don't bother me, I'd rather drink alone Excuse me miss, could you drive me home? The shadow of your skin reminds my head that I’m imperfect yeah Because you are the devil when you walk, and you are the devil when you talk So don't bother me, I'd rather drink alone Excuse me miss, could you drive me home?

I fucking hate this place, it won't be worse when I'm not around. Running in a long lost race, onlooking as the whole damn place goes south I don't need saving grace, I'm on my own or I'm not at all. trying to keep up the pace, I'm feeling better when I'm punching walls I don't feel it right now, don't feel it right now I'm feeling good right now I'm taking medicine, it keeps me up when I'm feeling down. this race I cannot win, onlooking as the whole damn place goes south I spend days fast asleep, it isn't better when I rest my head. starting to feel kind of cheap, I'm sketching closer to the things I dread I don't feel it right now, don't feel it right now I'm feeling good right now I don't feel it right now, don't feel it right now

Never lied no I never tried to hide it Never fight no Never practiced, preached it Never hided Never badmouthed, Never swore too Always told myself the plain old truth I never lied No I never tried I never jumped once in my life I'll end up alone with no damn wife I wished I never had that safe drive! Do I remember that one day Did I really have a chance? Everything just came my way But I never crossed the fence Then I noticed something was wrong When my brain was messed up all along I never lied No I never tried I never jumped once in my life I'll end up alone with no damn wife I wished I never had that safe drive! I'm too scared to go on My wings will burn in the sun I'm too weak to just walk Might end up breaking a lock (2x) Too scared to jump Too afraid to fly Too scarred to just try Too scarred to just Try(2x) Chorus. I never lied No I never tried I never jumped once in my life I'll end up alone with no damn wife I wished I never had that safe drive! Safe Drive! Always hide Always alone Always afraid No chance on my own.

Monday 28 of June we went to Amsterdam watching the world cup with all the Holland fans. We ordered some half-liter beers, expensive but didn't care cause the waitress were so fucking hot and really everywhere. We were waiting for NOFX, for the great show, don't know a lot anymore but awesome I still know. After, we ate some crappy food next to sport café, but I wasn't really hungry so I went on tourney. Hey, Hey! I saw three girls standing there with one guy all alone, one girl looked like Julia Roberts, I said “I really like you!”. But she didn't really understand cause she was Indonesian, but there was a second plan her girlfriend did the translation. Next day I tried to call but getting no responds so we went to the red-light district cause we have never been there before. A friend really wanted to but didn't really dare, so we paid for him the entry, we don't fucking care. Hey, Hey!

about

This compilation is a showcase of what the Dutch punk rock scene has to offer. Ranging from established bands to uprising ones, this is a compilation you cannot miss out on!

Download your copy and make sure you donate some money, because all donations will be given to Red een Legkip (Safe A Layer Chicken).

In their 3 years of existence Red een Legkip (Safe a Layer Chicken) has saved over four thousand chickens from being slaughtered. When the layer chickens go to be slaughtered Red een Legkip offers the farmer an alternative, by offering the same amount as the slaughter would offer for the chickens. After this the chickens are put in shelters to recover, after which they go to great adoption homes where they will get all the space and care to enjoy a good life. Chickens that have never experienced life because they have never seen daylight, never been outside, were not able to withdraw themselves, and have always lived on wire mesh or at overpopulated farms, finally get chance to live and feel like a chicken is supposed to live and feel. The people who do this do it entirely voluntary. The only compensation they get is to cover the costs for food, straw, and medicines for the chickens.
