Intro 00:51
2.
Born in the mountains grown up in the sticks carefree adolescence with no problems to fix a place where nature was always my home sitting on summits the peak like a throne Moved to the city to make my own mistakes to learn my own lesson what’s real and what’s fake Inspired by misfits grown up with tradition from the woods to urban jungle an abrupt transistion Couldn’t ever fit in, didn’t change for the better, Mani said „Phil, man, we ll be outlaws forever.“ Outlaws forever (hey!) Now the mountains call me to find my inner peace and meadows conduct my soul to rest the city’s heartbeat pumps life through my veins slowly blurring my thoughts and easing my pain It may take some time learning not to bother that is neither fish nor fowl, neither this nor the other that it’s not the place where you’re coming from but society to which you won’t ever belong

The Good 02:35
Farewell dear sun and welcome night I’m gonna drink and laugh and fight I’m gonna, well, no, yes, I might There’s a party at the gates we’ll be alright. Come on my friend another round (I am up set ready to go) There’s lot of problems for us to drown (I am up set ready to go) Dear friend leave all your thoughts at home (I am up set ready to go) Forgetting together, not alone (I am up set ready to go) Nobody in this country seems to know it better (seems to get it right) A whole generation living for the friday night (a whole generation living for the friday night) Time’s up, the world goes south! I let the good times role! Is this what it’s all about? I let the good times role!

Robin Hood 02:48
If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves! The scissor is not closing, it is opening wide society slowly breaks down on its knees on the way into poverty there is no place to hide their neverending thirst can't ever be pleased Robin rob the rich, rip off the royalty rise out of rusty woods and let it rain for me Revolution, Revolution, calling for a revolution now (everything that's not nailed down is changing hands somehow) Rich take from the poor, not the other way round That's how it always was, but doesn't have to be How are you supposed to play fair, when fairness can't be found break out of your own solitude and show some solidarity
5.
Ticktack ticktack still got no sleep and the factory roofs are crying for me Work’s been hard I’ m complaining, I’m burning out, you are gaining. My rights they are small, you want them to decrease you try to close down our unions in the name of the state, founders and peace All I ask for is justice but there ain’t no justice no justice for the little man Stuck in this corporate machinery as a mute in this tragic scenery close your eyes and dream yourself far away but mortgage and bills force you to stay Worn out trousers and working shoes, I got the factory blues!
6.
Captain, Oh my Captain let the cold wind blow over sunwarmed concrete and the dusty road, set the sails, may the breeze lead the direction and the sun slowly rises, glances in perfection It's punkrockpirates on the road, scallywags, rock n roll Reach out for new harbors, reach out for a destination where I belong, reach out for new harbors, reach out for a place that I can call my home Captain, oh my captain we re so far away from home, endless hours on the highway tired flesh and bones, how I miss my baby let the anchors drift away, to a destination where my heart tells me to stay Captain, oh my captain it's the journey's end, we've been out for so long, conquered unknown land, walked on the wild side and the best thing for me is to break our chains and be off to the sea
7.
The Bad 02:26
Girl I am the one to blame, slowly turning mad, the decisions I made, they were bad Dark rings haven’t left me for days dark thoughts decorate my ways life’s such a precious thing to waste but all I ever did was taste, taste, taste, Sober and drunken nights are fading, merging into a fucked up dance the empty dreams are staying crying after a forsaken chance I picked up the wrong hand set everything on heart, the token directly walks to jail without passing start I had so many things to think about, took a dozend shots and knocked myself out
8.
Flip a coin, flip a coin as we enter this familiar city with a surface looking oh so pretty the controversity included even in its name notorious for gossip and ten minute fame Flip a coin, flip a coin in this city I love with the devil beyond and holy hills above where the sun sets at the end of a street and seperates broken dreams and upper class elite And you told me that the saints redeme you when they’re coming down but are you sure they also visit this part of town? Welcome to the factory where dreams are made, where hope is founded and realism gets detained in this streets of insanity where my mind is perloined I flip a coin, I flip a coin
9.
While urgent issues don't bother the nation real life garbage is aired on heavy rotation you may call it entertainment I call it ideocracy there is a war going on let's watch it on HD If blood isn't splashing it ain't worth a dime and if she isn't naked you better stop trying I don't care 'bout people starving but watch them on TV can't talk, can't hear nor can I see Watch out for the emperor’s new clothes, it's time for you to start realizing, watch out for the emperors new clothes, he ain't wearing, he ain't wearing, he ain't wearing anything! Little girls manipulated by lifestyle guides consumption craze unstoppably taking over anorexia, a disease spread through advertised lies the inhibition level is getting lower Inner beauty or the brand of your jeans perverted ideas sold as fashion to the the blind striking attention by all means peer pressure seducing innocent minds
10.
Dead & Gone 03:11
Seems like yesterday when Joe's strumming hit me for the first time and Mike's rock'n'roll trenched voice made me lose my mind Tim's offbeat strokes carried me away, threw me on the ground made my heart beat faster in the second it calmed me down Hey Bob, I don't want the times to change I don't want to see an end It's all I ever had, all I understand I still play my music loud on the stereo, singing each and every line, wright or wrong wear my leatherjacket everywhere I go tell me are these days dead and gone, are they dead and gone? Didn't expect it to shift for the worst, but the day came tastes may differ and alter, just I am still the same jubilant synthesizer fanfare's predict a change of sound pushing underground music under undergrounds ground the drumcomputer shovel slowly digs rock'n'rolls grave tell me when did dangerous music become so safe? So I desperately wipe a tear in silence from my eye 'cause everybody knows punkrockers aren't supposed to cry
11.
Broken hearts and broken glasses are lying on the floor the dawn is fading in I'm slipping out of the backdoor. A notorious rack, born to stay alone changing beds and everywhere home but the truth is that I really try to stay just circumstances want it another way So I am still searching for something that I can't get I am going one step forward and two steps back After years of innocence the devil bought my soul and I found myself in this thing called rock n roll so if I may hurt you it's without any intent first I act, then I think, at last I regret You better learn from your mistakes is what I've been told but I refused to listen since I'm five years old and it seems that to this very day I am not a fan I step into a problem just to do it all again
12.
Alone 02:26
Does it matter in which crew I'm in and who I call my friends? Would I prefer hard working instead of blindly shaking hands? Rejected by the rejects since they are going with the flow where will the road lead someone with nowhere to go? The scene's a fucking wasteland and I'm standing in the center unwilling to leave and not allowed to enter All they do is verify, I am standing here and wonder why and here, poor fool, I stand once more, no wiser than I was before Insolent and viperish they sham you their respect and you turn around with a knife sticking in your back Saint Michael slowly raises his protecting hands while he dooms and curses all the leftover bands The whole movement turned into a goddamn joke while the king of rock n roll is sitting backstage doing coke You throw me up, up, up, I'm spinning round, round, round I'm falling down, down, down until I hit the ground
13.
Mum, please sit down, would you mind taking a seat? Over the last few months I lost the ground beneath my feet. But now I see everything from another point of view, so here is my avowel, my confession to you. I’ve never been a part of something, drank to comfort myself Seperated as an outlaw trying to be somebody else I remember getting drunk for the first time and since ever then the nights keep getting longer, never been sober again. Cause while booze calmed down my pain‐inked soul it changed from good to the bad to the out of control I awake after days of drinking, my bloodshed eyes keep me thinking And while my hands start shaking I regret decisions I’ve been making. Hurt too many feelings now this is as good as it gets. For you I’ll change completely, just coffee and cigarettes.
