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

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
