I don’t want to make angry music I don’t want to shout ugly words There has always been confusion Because the truth is held absurd And every time I touch the beauty For a moment I exist Then this money made illusion Gives the riches to the rich You’re taking the Piss You’re taking the Piss You’re taking the Psss Your religion is it Kapitalisssm? And I really respect knowledge Yes I really tried to learn But then when I went to college All my teachers were perverse Regurgitating falsehoods It was there I understood That people aren’t equal There’s the bad and there’s the good You’re taking the Piss You’re taking the Piss You’re taking the Psss Your religion is it Kapitalisssm?

stay in bed 10:01
Sometimes god is in your heart And the devil in your head And you cannot fall apart But you can get upset And you know you’ve got to start But you can’t get out of bed Cause god is in your heart And your lover offers sex Stay in bed, till god is in your head Stay in bed, till god is in your head Stay in bed, oh yes Stay in bed, confess Stay in bed… the goddess says They say god made us his image So my god then is a she And my devil my reflection Of the pale damp othery Sometimes god is in your head And the goddess in your heart And you cannot get upset And you cannot fall apart Stay in bed cause god is in your head Stay in bed till god gives you head Stay in bed, oh yes Stay in bed, confess Stay in bed the goddess says Sometimes bad is in your heart But the truth is in your head It feels you’re falling apart But you know you nah go dead Don’t want to make a start Cause the bad is in your heart Get up yes! No stress The goddess says Get up yes the goddess says Get up yes the goddess says Get up yes Get up yes Get up yes the goddess says Make love the goddess says

Hey meisje met je groene muts, je bruine haar Je fietst door een straatje langs me heen Ik ben niet ver van hier geboren, ‘t zijn nu flats M’n oma ook van hier maar m’n moeder is een Zeeuw Hey meisje met je groene muts, Je stralende ogen Het is net een sprookje, Oh hij fietst met je mee K ben zo stoned als als je droomt Doe gek genoeg dat is gewoon Je bent het mooiste meisje Dat ik hier ooit heb gezien Hey meisje He meisje met je groene muts Het was koud het vroor, de eerste maand en dus al donker En toch jij fietste in het rond, het flessenorgel song Ik klonk, of was dat andersom, nee niet de koffieshop Sarasani aan de gracht, chrystal helder ietwat sloom Het flessenorgel klonk ik zong jij fietste in het rond Doe gek genoeg dat is gewoon Dat is gewoon Je bent het mooiste meisje Dat ik hier ooit heb gezien

Who’s too blame... for all the pointless pain? Who will claim... responsibility? Tell me in who’s name, do we play these games? If not you, if not me... You’re feeling the same same thing You’re playing the same same thing You’re thinking the same same thing You’re wanting the same same thing You’re being the same same thing You’re saying the same same thing You’re feeling the same same thing Revealing the same same thing

What are you gonne do on judgement day Will you be in the queue with the most delays ? Those are the signs for those who possess minds Are you blind to the times ? Be kind ... Don’t play around on this earth That wasn’t the reason for your birth, my birth Emerge a search for the truth, don’t just look in books statistically doomed By schools of thought derived from laws of fraud We’ve been caught by a trade-off . Choice . When we loose we didn’t choose to Listen to that voice in the head , creeping down the throat Stomach upset ! and then you play dead , yet… There is only One and Their last left the Word But the Word came with birth so when you hear it, you learn But you don’t , why ? You’re not stoned ! Where’s the Herb ? Meditate ! Faith comes with work Tomorrow is too late , you can die today The world is vibrating the Sound’s not ok Play away ? Not me I must submit my clay But what are you gonne do on judgement day ? What are you gonne do, what are you… Someone spoke the day of judgement what if it don’t come I spoke well you are cool then ! Continue in your fun , right ? But look outside it is midday and i don’t see light ! No it’s not in my mind Blocks of buildings ! The sun can’t shine through You’re living in the dark , don’t have a clue what to do So you’re waiting like a fool , decorating your tools Dissing the Book , materialism is the path you took But look… Life on earth is a waiting room , you can wait , Decorate and create your path . No point ! Think it through… See, the Path , Straight , at the end a Grave With a sign : Don’t be late ! The busses won’t wait The hook is there if you want the bait It’s a ticket , one each , like a puzzle put the pieces straight Have Faith ! Your Soul is at stake , don’t wanne chance the mistake Of being lead astray , just incase I’ll have to think of something to say But what are you gonne do on judgement day ? The choice is with you , noone can ever make you do Anything if you’re true to the thing within you Nobody’s got a fucking clue , you just get judged on what you do What you know what you feel Drop the profile ! Be realistic ! An artificial mystic , there isn’t or there is ! If there isn’t , no big thing , We die and we can’t think What if there is ? Shit pass the spliff Repent ! I thought I knew what it meant Boom ! The Paradox corrupting Driving me insane but I can’t let my brain get lame

Mediocrity is all you’ll ever be Cause you don’t believe what you really feel Is what you know at birth they intrude with blood Wasted in the name of the gods I see you look at me I feel your thought think freak Because I classify all that I perceive You doublethink your speak I judge I don’t deceive I don’t turn my other cheek Cause they’ve got you on a lead And you can’t stand to see me free You could have been me 1 creed You just wanne see me kneel You just wane see me bleed You will never see me not believe Acknowlodgy Is what we need Popularity is what you can’t achieve Because you’ve lied about and thru-out history See when you alter truth you change what’s meant to be And that what is not real Cause they’ve got you on a lead And you can’t stand to see me free Cause they’ve got you on a lead And you can’t stand to see me free Cause they’ve got you on a lead And you can’t stand to see me free Acknowlodgy Is what we need Chorus Cause they’ve got you on a lead And you can’t stand to see me free You could have been me 1 creed You just want to see me kneel You just want to see me bleed You just want to see me kneel You just want to see me bleed You will never see me not believe

I I wish I could fly Leave you all behind Pain all this pain in my brain Driving me insane Can’t make it go away So I look for some names to blame Stuck in my claim in my fame Why won’t my face rain Wash away the traces of shame I am slain, I am sane I wish I could fly Leave you all behind Frustrate call it hate She’s blatantly disrelated Prostrate she debates And awaits all who hail we Create must she, ache does she She can’t break free, she can’t relate She fakes loads, awaits those Who live honestly I wish she Could be at peace I wish she Could be with me Lies all these lies in their eyes Don’t you realise They’re making time cry with despise Purpose won’t suffice Abide, steal then lie their reply Love can’t rise but hide It tries It wishes wise Optimised It’s critisized The righteous hide Their plight is nigh The live their lives by its line I wish I could fly I wanne die right

you see what we see you feel what we need you act like you don’t know me you need what we feel so why don’t you speak the truth why don’t you do what you came here to do why don’t you speak the truth why do you deny what’s good you see what we see so strange life is so very strange you know what we know in fact you know much more but then you won’t show that what you came here for so why don’t you speak the truth why don’t you do what you came here to do why don’t you speak the truth why do you deny what’s good you gave them gold they don’t recognize it give them bronze make sure you shine it you see what I see © S.T.

Singing singing singing for life Wisdom getting wiser Singing singing singing for life Wisdom getting wider I look into your eyes and its hits me hurts me child Unnecessary hiding you are truly bright Not because I say so what do you feel deep inside Well then am I not right?! Singing singing singing for life Wisdom getting wiser Singing singing singing for life Wisdom getting wider Why do we hide when we know what we like How we want it how we feel it Why are we so scared cuz it hurts but good Rich food, you’re deluding yourself when you say that you’re hungry The emptiness drives you insane Baby you give yourself the pain Then you complain the way is straight You swim upstream a mountain glows and then it snows You dream of me Then you wake up you stop to feel Baby please feel the ease So peaceful Singing singing singing for life Wisdom getting wiser Singing singing singing for life Wisdom getting wider © S.T.

Look at me speechless Vocab has been used Definition, feeling, thought Have been abused Look at me, lonely But not alone The thought of you of moments true Fills up my wretched soul But now there’s nothing left to say I gave your love to the world today and I wait Nothing, nothing left to say I gave your love and I pray Look at me crying Tears are not of pain Apart from regret and stuff like that I know that you’re with me I know that I am blessed There’s no such thing as Wasting time… They are lessons in life When again we’ll do it right But now there’s nothing left to say I gave your love to the world today and I wait Nothing, nothing left to say I gave your love and I pray © S.T.
