You Lost Your Job

What is it I've done?
I've been living life just the way you want
I have sung your praise
every night and day
and then suddenly
you just smash me down
And now I just can't see
what I've done
and now I just can't see
what you want
If my gratitude don't mean shit to you
I could steal back just like they stole from me
Are we just your playthings?
Do you torment us whenever you are bored?
Why do you create just to take away?
Do you care about anyone at all?
Why should I keep praying?
Your name be cursed!
If there is hell, it can't be worse
When I asked you why, you just replied
"What do YOU know, I am GOD and I fucking can!"
I woke up in the bloody sheets
Now pain is all I know
and everything that mattered is gone
yes everything that matters is gone
There's a silence around this house
where my children used to run
and every one of them is gone
yes everything that matters is gone
I scratch my rash in an empty bed
and curse the day I was born
no reason left to hold on
when everything that matters is gone
yes everything that matters is gone

God Hates Fags

I’ll never go to heaven
I’ve been living life in sin
At least that’s what they say
when I found heaven within
I’ve been fighting it vain
And why should I?
It’s just a matter of love
I don’t mean to offend you
I never chose to feel that way
It’s just the way I was born
and it’s not your business anyway
Who made the laws that you defend?
And who made you judge over me?
My love feels so true
maybe not to you
But why should I care about you?
Anyway
It’s just a matter of love
I’ll never go to heaven
So I’ll seek heaven here on earth
If I will go to hell then
I gotta make sure it was worth it
Never did harm to you anyone
so what for
is condemnation on me?
We all need love
we all seek joy
so calm yourself
calm yourself
We all will live
we all will die
so calm yourself
and love is all that it’s about
anyway
anyway
My love feels so true
maybe not to you
But why should I care about you?
In the end
It’s just a matter of love

Covered

You are a servant
nothing more
You’re here to please
us as we please
God told you to
You do belong to
the man we choose
From your wedding day
you must obey
God told you to
So you stay covered
or you’re unprotected game
you stay covered
or die in shame
You shall be silent
stay at home
Your body’s sin
so pack it in
God wants you to
So you stay covered
and you always behave well
you stay covered
or you’ll burn in hell

7 Candles
04:58
|
|||
|
Gatherings on Sundays
in gigantomaniac halls
calling out in stories, songs and poems
Bearing the insignia
wear your faith upon your sleeve
Cover up yourself
Take your hat off
„Thou shalt do this
but not that
To please the lord above“
Seven burning candles
and a man in purple robes
Carpets to the east and
strict fasting for a month
Feast on wine and wafers
Superstitious rituals
They won’t do nothing about the fact that
you’re gonna die
You must pay indulgence
for your sinful deeds and thought
your karma balance has been overdrawn
Avoid forbidden fruit
keep your hands on your duvet
relationships must be approved by the church
Here’s the rules
that we play by
Though we don’t know the game
Seven burning candles
and a man who’s never wrong
muttering ancient verses
firing shots into the dark
Write your resumé in
superstitious rituals
They won’t do nothing about the fact that
you’re gonna die

You are not with me
I'm alive and I carry on
You are not with me
And the days go by
You know how it feels?
Like I still am waiting for you
You are not with me
And you won't return
Charlie
Where did it all go so wrong?
Charlie
It don't matter why you're gone
You are gone
What did I do wrong?
Were you missing anything?
What did I do wrong?
Should I've seen the signs?
Could I've changed your mind?
Oh I wish I'd even tried
What did I do wrong?
Weren't you listening?
Charlie
Where did it all go so wrong?
Charlie
It don't matter why you're gone
You are gone
I was glad for you when you said you found your god
I never thought that you would kill for him with guns
You died a hero, said the voice from Syria
But you should be living
Charlie
Where did it all go so wrong?
Charlie
It don't matter why you're gone
You are gone

The Gospel
03:49
|
|||
|
I won’t clap my hands no
I won’t clap my hands no
I won’t clap my hands
cause your beat isn’t mine
I won’t sing the gospel
I won’t sing the gospel
I won’t sing your song
cause it don’t get me high
And now I stand beside a crowd
I am silent they are
in ecstasy
they all scream
they’re all about this moment
I’d like to join but I can’t lie
I’m not part of this
all the dreams
the fantasies
I’m the only one who’s sober
You won’t get an Amen
You won’t get an Amen
You are free to call
but won’t have my response
You don’t have me dancing
You don’t have me dancing
I won’t say how high
when you tell me to jump
(jump!)
And this madness rages on
I am alone and they are
unified in deifying
the man in the pulpit
He’s got the whole world in his hands
on his fingertips
he holds the strings
of his sheep
and they are just his puppets
I won’t bend my knees no
I won’t bend my knees no
I won’t bend my knees
unless I lose a contact lens
I don’t see the light no
I don’t see the light no
I don’t see the light
my gloom is too intense
Here I stand inside the mass
Ieft to feel like an
alien
to all these men
and women who are happy
I'm not mean but I can’t lie
I’m not sorry for
all your dreams
and fantasies
once the show is over

Mark David Chapman
04:45
|
|||
|
A little boy lost in New York
In a world of phonies
One Day At A Time
The one who imagined no possessions
But owns millions. All thanks to the little people.
Nobody is bigger than Jesus
Nobody is bigger than His son.
Why would he say such things and laugh at us all?
What does he think he is?
So phony.
Mark David Chapman waits in the rye
Blasphemic traitors deserve to die
A pack of ammo bought in Atlanta
A .38 special bought back in Hawaii
A signed LP of Double Fantasy
And The Catcher in the Rye
The gospel according to John Lennon
Nobody is cuter than his son
The larger part of me is Holden Caulfield
And a part of me must be the Devil …
Mark David Chapman waits in the rye
Blasphemic traitors deserve to die
I’m sorry that I caused you trouble
I am the man who gunned John Lennon down
This is my weapon. This is my statement.
My name is Holden Caulfield.

My god told me to rest
on the 7th day
in his memory
I mustn’t work today
I’m his righteous prophet
so here’s what you do
You give me your money
through me he’ll pardon you
Hooray hooray hooray
God is great
Hooray hooray hooray
God is great
My god loves me
My god loves my people
and hates our enemies
He told us to live here
so that’s our property
Made men superior to women
who are made to please
he hates fags like I do
because they’re not like me
Hooray hooray hooray
God is great
Hooray hooray hooray
God is great
And god is always right
Man created god in his own image
My god created me
to rule in his word
He has chosen me
to conquer the earth
Sent me on a mission
to make you more like me
He’s fine with killing those
who dare to disagree.
Hooray hooray hooray
God is great
Hooray hooray hooray
God is great

Bare
03:50

You were fed with a silver spoon
but you only came here bare
You have walked the earth in golden robes
but you know you'll leave it bare
You have left your footprint in the world
but your feet were never bare
You have built a monument to you
but you know you'll leave it bare
You've been striving
You've been striving
All your life
You've been striving
You've been striving
All your life
Say your prayers before you close your eyes
cause you know you'll leave here bare
Say your wishes for the rest of us
cause you know you'll leave us bare
Name your regrets when your time has come
cause you know you'll leave us bare
Was it worth it when you do the sum
cause you know you'll leave us bare
You've been striving
You've been striving
All your life
You've been striving
You've been striving
All your life

The Apocalypse
03:38
|
|||
|
Fire, fire
Raining from the sky
The forest is burning
And the lake's run dry
Fire around us
The front is closing in
And not a single airplane to be seen
And then the city went in heat and light
The community still trapped inside
As the church lit up the people cried
for Jesus, Jesus
Stormwind, stormwind
Drowning us in rain
all the streets are flooded
The roof's been blown away
Water's rising
The radio is dead
Destruction's taken everything we had
And then the stormflood took the city down
and left inhabitants to drown
With no one left to help them now
They cried Jesus, Jesus
A storm arose over the desert land
where human life has come to an end
And in the temple the curtain was torn
As the walls collapsed under the earthly force ...
And the sun burns on the battlefield
over the remains of old machines
On a skeleton there's a locket that reads
Jesus, Jesus
