Clown (by TAEKKRA)
----------------------------
Listen up, everyone, the Circus is in town!
Lots of fun and games and enough pain for all of us to go around
all day long, in this tournament of life!
From A to B and back to A in a circle we go,
round and round and round again
until we die in the arena of life
For that you work and you work hard until you really hurt,
moving mountains of stapled paperwork
or breaking your back at the assembly line ... of life!
And all of that, and all you gave, for the little you receive,
so your children one day might be free and not a slave?!
Like you, right now, deep in crisis of your life!
Wear a smile! Easy way to satisfy!
Every day a little lie!
Outside we all pretend
but inside we are clowns
shedding tears! Behind a mask we hide
to serenade each other!
All our lives we all pretend that
this not the end!
Is it my look? Is it my style? Or my taste you criticize?
Or the fact I’m not submitting to your rush to optimize?
Your hype to stride away from the roots
is absolutely not appealing to me!
You want me customized and polarized and agonized,
make me hold a share of stock in your social enterprise!
This economical tourniquet
is absolutely no surprise to me!
All their ideas of a brave new world are hollow!
And all they demand you to do in their brave new world is follow!
All their ideas of a brave new world are shallow!
And all they demand you to do in their brave new world is swallow!
Or Wear a smile! Easy way to satisfy!
Every day a little lie!
Outside we all pretend
but inside we are clowns
shedding tears! Behind a mask we hide
to serenade each other!
All our lives we all pretend that
this not the end!
I wear a smile (you’re easy to satisfy)
upon a mask (every day another lie),
don’t need a crown, outside I pretend,
but I’m a clown and not your friend!
I wear a smile (you’re so easily satisfied)
upon a mask (every day another lie)!
Don’t need a crown, outside I pretend,
but I’m a clown and not your friend!

-------------------------------
Walk the line of fashion!
Your beautiful dictatorship!
Bulimic dress codes for aborted minds
gonna make you fall back into line
with fashion!
This beautiful dictatorship!
A stalking cat, like degenerate
cripples of the modern age!
Selfie-time!
Your plastic, it’s a fantastic
rapt smiling vision full of Vaseline!
Your plastic makes you fucking awesome
at being dead fish that float downstream!
Yo, plastic, isn't it amazing?!
The world ’s at the edge,
but you don't give a fuck?!
Oh plastic, spastic, fuck your fantastic
world at the feet of a fashion-regime!
You walk in line with passion!
For a beautiful dictatorship!
Pierced through but polished, undercuts
gonna make you fall back into line
with fashion!
Their beautiful dictatorship
bloats out with pig-like, infantile
cripples of the modern age!
Selfie-time!
Your plastic, it’s a fantastic
rat-smiling vision full of gasoline!
Your plastic makes you fucking awesome
at being dead fish that float downstream!
Yo plastic, aren't you amazing?!
The world ’s at the edge,
but you don't give a fuck?!
Oh plastic, spastic, fuck your fantastic
world at the feet of a fascist regime!
These boots are made for marching
and that is what they’ll do!
One of these days these boots
are gonna march all over you!
Their boots were made for marching
and that is what they’ll do!
One of these days their boots
are gonna march all over you!
Fuck your fantastic
world at the feet of a fashion regime!
Fuck your fantastic
world at the feet of a fashion!
Fuck your fantastic
world at the feet of a fashion regime!
Fuck your fantastic
world and fascist regime!

je n’ai pas peur (by TAEKKRA)
-----------------------------------------
Who the fuck are you to call for “holy” wars?
You really think that you can scare me with that shit?
You ain’t a righteous man!
You ain’t a holy man!
You ain’t a man of any kind, you’re just a kid!
Playing with matches, trying to set the world on fire
with hate and eagerness to make me bleed for your desire
to fill the void of your existence with something credible,
misguided to believe the way you live your life is tolerable
to the rest of us, the ones you claim have to kneel
to forces you unleash by cracking open the seal
of killing brothers in the name of a your “lord”, hear me now:
You who live will also die by the sword!
All of you who live shall also die by the sword!
You hide yourself but I see you
under layers and layers of prayers, it pushes through,
a message from the corners of your soul,
from the voices that tell you to
“Exterminate ‘em ALL!”
The heart of darkness beats hidden in the shadow
of what is right or wrong or true, disguised as something hollow!
But unspeakable nightmares come true when least expected!
The only way to fight the pain is to confront it!
I made my choice not to give in but to fight
with those demons and the darkness inside me!
instead of giving in myself and to surrender my soul
to those angry men who want to use me for their “holy” goal!
I rather stand alone, right here, and die if I have to!
Instead of running after self-righteous cunts, like you
calling yourselves ‘men of faith’ but you are not!
Cuz any man of faith wouldn’t dare to play God!
You think that your “creator” is in need of you, You worm?!
To shed the blood of the weak in his name?!
By Spreading fear and doubt instead of love for hypothetical claim?!
You imbecile! You fucking insect!
Just keep crawling up and down your mental pile of shit,
Keep repeating the same, lame excuses they have washed into your brain!
All the same, it’s just a game, and you will lose eventually!
Pourquoi? Parce-que nous sommes unis!
Je suis comme vous et vous êtes comme nous,
et “nous” sommes “tout-le-monde”!
La haine, La haine, arrêtons-la maintenant,
Ça ne peut pas attendre jusqu'à la fin des temps!
Rien ne va plus, il est temps pour le final,
nous sommes en guerre mondiale et totale!
Notre dernière chance, c'est le choix pour la vie!
N’avez pas peur! Courage!
Nous sommes unis!

----------------------------
Wer seid Ihr denn, die da fürchten zu verlieren
und behaupten „da geht nix mehr“?!
Wo doch klar ist: Die Folgen Eurer Rücksichtslosigkeit
treibt die Menschen in Massen übers Meer
in die Arme von Neppern und Schleppern und Bauernfängern,
beim Versuch dem Elend zu entkommen!
Für die Zukunft ihrer Kinder setzen ‚Die‘ alles aufs Spiel
um endlich auch mal im Glück anzukommen!
Lieber Gott, lass es Hirn vom Himmel regnen
aber lass es keine Scheiße sein!
Dieser braune Sud aus Wohlstands-Paranoia,
der ist und kann und darf nicht sein!
Doch damit steht Ihr Euch wohl selbst am nächsten,
wenn um Euch rum alles anfängt zu brennen!
Ihr geht halt gern auch mal auf der Straße über Leichen
beim Versuch mein Europa wieder zu trennen!
Höcke, Du dumme Sau!
Bachmann, Du dumme Sau!
Sie schreiten im Gleichschritt den Galgen hinterher!
Ohne Anstand, ohne Rückgrat!
Feigheit in der Masse, verblödet und platt!
Ohne Scheu und ohne Reue
schreiten Sie ständig den Galgen hinterher,
Ohne Abstand, ohne Rückgrat!
Unaufgeklärt, gelangweilt und satt!
Das sau-dumme Volk!
Lackierte Affen! Ihr Kasper-Demagogen!
Ihr brüllenden Wutbürger, schlagt nur Eure Wogen!
Ihr wollt das Volk sein??!!
Doch was alle anderen sagen ist erstunken und erlogen?!
Faktenresistent zündelt Ihr im Gebälk eines Rechtstaats der Eure Freiheit erhält!
Ihr seid das sau-dumme Volk!
Ein nerviger Köter, der nicht beißt sondern bellt!
Höcke, Du dumme Sau!
Bachmann, Du dumme Sau!
Sie schreiten im Gleichschritt den Galgen hinterher!
Ohne Anstand, ohne Rückgrat!
Feigheit in der Masse, verblödet und platt!
Ohne Scheu und ohne Reue
schreiten Sie ständig den Galgen hinterher,
Ohne Abstand, ohne Rückgrat!
Unaufgeklärt, gelangweilt und satt!
Das sau-dumme Volk!
Jetzt lauf doch nicht ständig dem Galgen hinterher!
Halt mal Abstand, zeigt mal Rückgrat!
Jetzt wär‘ doch die Zeit zu zeigen was Du drauf hast,
ohne Scheu und für die Sache!
Aber nein, Du dackelst lieber brav hinterher!
Ohne Anstand, ohne Rückgrat!
Unaufgeklärt, gelangweilt und satt!
Du sau-dummes Volk!
Das sau-dumme Volk!

Meltdown (by TAEKKRA)
---------------------------------
[Quotes by Charlie Chaplin]
“We think too much and feel too little!
But nothing is permanent in this world. Nothing!
Not even our troubles.
A day without laughter is a day wasted!
So I remain one thing, a clown.
And that places me on a far higher plane than any politician!
Let’s face it, in the end, everything is a gag!”
Thank you Charlie!
All the years of my life
I feared the darkness inside
becoming the world
that surrounds me
but now that I know
that I have to go
I want to hang on
just a little while
before the lights are dimming down
on me
I can feel the curtain is about to be drawn
over me!
So, here is to You and to love
in all finality!
Concluding words, I should have spoken
years before:
Do not be silent!
Be one of a kind!
Tear down the wall,
find out what’s behind!
Why should I care
if God is there or not?
What good God is he if the suffering
he cannot stop?
Why must he take it all away again?
So many riddles
and no more time to solve them!
What do I care, if there’s a paradise
at the end of the highway?
Nothing can repay me for losing the world
eternally?
How bad can it be?
Fading away into nothingness?
Will there be pain? Passing on
into endless emptiness?
Melting down,
I’m touching the ground with my wings.
Melting down, I hear my fantasy, how it sings!
Melting down,
all the way, down to the ground
and I will not return to tell you what I found.
Melting down,
I’m touching the ground with my wings.
Melting down,
I hear ancestral voices, how they sing!
Melting down,
all the way, down to the ground
and I will not return to tell you what I found.

Counter-fire (by TAEKKRA)
------------------------------------
You, on the screen,
who the fuck are you
to tell me who I am, or what I want
and what I have do!
You don’t know me
and you don’t fucking own me!
Cuz I ain’t a part of your club!
Don’t patronise me!
I was taught to believe in myself!
Born and raised in the shadow of a bookshelf!
Then came the web, and your pod and your pad,
now, just have look around.
What the fuck?!!
You, on TV,
who gave you the right
to take what you want, all the way
and to twist it, despite
all the damage you cause, for applause,
without regret for spreading you’re bullshit!
Spattering the rest by defiling the world,
proclaiming that your freedom
was meant to hurt!
The ones that could stop you
are soon to give up!
Is nobody left who cares?!
Oh yeah?
You think that i am wrong?
Just keep doing what you do and wait,
because not for long
you’ll be made to harvest
the ignorance you sow!
Your faith might be a mountain,
but crumbled to the sea!
Fuck all that bullshit
you’re preaching to me!
Your children’s children
will pay up all you owe!
And they will open counter-fire
on all the nightmares you inspire
and they will raise the bar a little higher
so ignorant people won’t fuck with their claim
to live and open counter-fire
on all the bullshit dreams you sire
and they will raise the bar a little higher
so nothing that is can be left to stay the same
You, on the tube,
how am I to put it?!
You act as if you’re heavy
cuz you are full of bullshit!
All the things you do,
and all the things you say
can’t hide the fact your life is meaningless
in every way!
You cannot not so you will not,
you will not so you have nothing
constructive to express in any way,
accept “Don’t be evil!”
or “do the right thing!”??
“Fuck all your greed!”
Is what I have to say!
What?!
You think that I am wrong?
Just keep doing what you do and wait,
because not for long
you’ll be made to harvest
all the ignorance you sow!
Your faith might be a mountain,
but crumbled to the sea!
And just because you preach
you can’t deny what I see:
Your children’s children
will pay up all that you owe!
And they will open counter-fire
on all the nightmares you inspire
and they will raise the bar a little higher
so people like you cannot fuck with their claim
to live and open counter-fire
on all the bullshit dreams you sire
And they will raise the bar a little higher
so nothing that is and was will stay the same!
So who will open counter-fire?
On all the nightmares they inspire?
Who will raise the bar a little higher,
so the ignorant people can’t fuck with the game?!
The game to share and to rewire
all of our hearts, and to inspire
all of those to come, to counter-fire
so nothing that was can be left to stay the same!
So nothing that ever was will stay the same!
So the ignorant people can’t fuck with the game!
Fire,
so the ignorant people can’t fuck with the game!
Fire,
so nothing that was ever will stay the same!
Counter-fire!
So that nothing that is and was
will stay the same!

before I die [md reprise] (by TAEKKRA)
----------------------------------------------------
before I will die I just want to live!
before I will die I just want to give!
before I will die I just want to see
what there once will be after me!
before I die I just want to live!
before I die I just want to give!
before I die I just want to see
what there will be
I’m melting down before I die
