Recruiting young boys with false pretences
Defend your country in a war without ending
You came back empty handed
Hard to pick up life back in the country you defended
On every corner you spot danger
Can’t sleep at night – You’re becoming a stranger
Left alone with these horrific thoughts
But it’s alright – another soldier blessed by god
Billions invested in this war for “peace”
Killing people - Again the best of mans’ ideas
To create this “Utopian” dream of peace and love
Only creating bigger problems harder to be solved
Mentally broken you arrived home
The urge to shoot again has slowly grown
Not trusting anyone – being sick of this shit
So you pick up your gun and a pack of bullets
Ride out to make this country pay
Blinded and hurt you don’t see any other way
Ones’ life summarized in the papers the next day:
“Young soldier kill himself”

Wake up in the morning, looking like Keith Richards
Dave Lombardo's drumming in my head
The party last night was the best party ever
At least that's what the other people said
I can't feel my fingers or my toes
But I gotta get up, it's time for me to go
Always hate work, always hate work
That horrible place where they treat you like a jerk
Oh if only I would never have to go there again
Always hate work, always hate work
It's messin' with my mind, think I'm goin berserk
Everyone, please mark my words
Always hate work
I think I'm going crazy like Tom Cruise on Oprah
Charlie Sheen, Catcher In The Rye
Time is passing by like a snail on a turtle
Wanna go back to my bed, crawl up and die
I can feel life slipping through my hands
This working thing, it ruins all my plans
Not my life and not my place
I don't wanna waste my days
Slaving till I'm old and grey
Always hate work
Fun is where the action is
Life's too short for stuff like this
So much I don't wanna miss
Always hate work

I didn't know what to say to you
and really didn't know what to do
Allthough my feelings were Crystal clear
That I'd eventually find you here
Cause I know what I've got and it's all in my heart for you
Girl you're all that I want, so I will give it all to you
When you smile my heart beats out of control
And your lips turn me into a nuclear bomb
Give me love and I will give you the world
And I swear I'd do anything
'Cause i'ts all that I've got, it's all that I've got for you
My former self had been washed away
Since you told me that true love could find it's way
You really feel like a part of me
I was blind but now I can see

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
I’ve been working my ass off for way too long now
I’m tired of fucking around
Tired of you letting me down
I’m gonna turn this inside out
I’ve been bustin’ my knuckles for al this time now
I couldn’t stand by a try
I chose the fucking wrong side
I’m gonna bend it and make it all mine
When things aren’t cooking in your kitchen
When everyone around you is bitching
This is my therapeutic
This is my therapeutic
This is my therapeutic
Fuck it
So now you know
Yeah now you know
You know the secret that’ll keep you on track
You know the secret that’ll keep you of crack
When things aren’t cooking in your kitchen
When everyone around you is bitching
This is my therapeutic
This is my therapeutic
This is my therapeutic
Fuck it
When things aren’t cooking in your kitchen
When everyone around you is bitching
This is my therapeutic
This is my therapeutic
This is my therapeutic
Fuck it
When things aren’t cooking in your kitchen
When everyone around you is bitching
When things aren’t cooking in your motherfucking kitchen
When everyone around you is bitching

I was born in a city with nothing
Packed my bags and looked for something
Saw some guys, we smoked some green
They walked me around and showed me the scene
Skating parks and music jams
It all came together in Rotterdam
Where they ride ramps like beasts
(I get up, and then fall down)
Twisting boards 180 degrees
(My bones just twist around)
Love the people, love the scene
(Skate skate, music loud)
There's just one problem for me
I can't skate x4
Trapped myself on this board so long
Everybody's doing it, stil i'm doing it wrong
No technique, can't do no trick
Lose all my grip, kickflip on ma lip
Time after time and again I try
And I realise I'm not the guy
Who rides ramps like a beast
(I get up and then fall down)
Twists boards 180 degrees
(My bones just twist around)
Love the people, love the scene
(Skate skate, music loud)
There's only one problem for me
I cant skate x 8
I can't skate

Remember the times, when we smiled so much.
No worries on my mind, if we could stay in touch.
When we where young, and the world was ours .
The day i prommissed you, to alway’s be yours.
And all my dreams, you listened so good.
Made them all come true, that’s how you do.
And those day’s, i hope you’ll never regret.
Those day’s where ours, i hope you’ll never forget.
Times change and so do we.
Never forget your family tree.
It’s hard, but won’t tear us apart.
We made a bond for life, a bond from the heart.
And there she was, white as snow.
Staked her claim into my heart,
and I can’t let her go.
Lionhearted, my true friend.
Know how much I’ll love you, till the very end.
I’m filled with tears, when she’s not here.
My home is now a house, my biggest fear.
Pain in my heart, not saying goodnight.
Or waking up in the morning, and miss you by my side.
Times change and so do we.
Never forget your family tree.
It’s hard, but won’t tear us apart.
We made a bond for life, a bond from the heart.
Sometimes dreams come true,
are you awake, when they do….(x4)

Back in the days their life was hard
They didn’t complain and took their part
In contributing to society
Now they demand the same of me
But we are lazy
And up to no good
These words can’t be misunderstood
A spoilt generation’s on its way
What’s the matter with the kids today?
refrein:
Remember
They said the same thing about you
4x
Unemployment’s on the rise
For your mistakes we pay the price
Our burden is your legacy
But we choose our own destiny
We know that we’re better
Than the shit you think we are
We also have our hopes and dreams
It’s you we should ignore
refrein
bridge:
We are fucking sick and tired
Of the pressure to perform
Study and work like ideal kids
Nervous breakdowns are the norm
We won’t be the victims
Of your own hypocrisy
Maybe you did not become
What you wanted us to be
refrein
Remember
Remember
Remember
They said the same thing about you

I guess trying hard to love you doesn’t work at all
I’m just a messenger but I’m still taking the fall
You tie me down so you can tell the world I’m yours
Just knock me out while I’m still nailed down to the floor
My wings will fly when you will stop making me stall
Guess trying hard to love you doesn’t work at all
She’ll hunt you down
And bring you on your knees
No she won’t stop
Until you’re at her feet
Forgive me for my sins
And save me from this
Battle I can’t win
Please save me from this
You’re taking me apart and I’m taking this to heart
I’m all that’s left of me
The spotlight’s on me and there’s nowhere left to hide
Turning the page feels like I’m giving up the fight
You drag me into your own world of disbelief
You fuck me up when you’re the only thing I see
She’ll hunt you down
And bring you on your knees
And she won’t stop
Until you’re at her feet
Forgive me for my sins
And save me from this
Battle I can’t win
Please save me from this
You’re taking me apart and I’m taking this to war
I’m all that’s left of me
These broken pieces of my mind
I’ll try and leave them all behind
Help me kill these memories and burn my bridges down
I’ll sever every tie with you but it’ll all come back around
It all comes back around
Forgive me for my sins
And save me from this
Battle I can’t win
Please save me from this
You’re taking me apart and I’m taking this to war
I’m all that’s left of me
