You Never know It's a big big world And you can see things in different ways And maybe all the thhings you say are not that absurd They make perfect sense And I just don't understand And nothing went out of control And you never know Which way the wind will blow You never know you never know The ocean goes to and fro You never know you never know Whatever will rock your boat You never know you never know You never know Things occupy space Just like a stone thrown in the river makes waves What's indispensible now will be pushed aside If it stands in the way What will work in the end You'll have to find out on your own, or you'll never know Which way the wind will blow You never know you never know The sea's black as ahole You never know you never know Who'll be the next to go You never know you never know You never know

Season of the Wolves I'm just blowing smoke I'd rather joke than tell the truth Don't try to track me it's the season of the wolves I prick my foot with a needle Three drops of blood fall on the snow And the night is black as ink and the air is cold So why the hell should I pretend They say man is a wolf to man There's a burning train coming down the line Step aside, if you don't want to catch fire Wait until dawn then I'm howling at the moon I got few teeth left But they'll rip the guts out of you There's an abyss, don't look down too long Unless you want to slide into it

Resign 04:03
Resign I resign, let the hammer fall I resign, say goodbye to all I resign, tonight I'm gonna buy a round I resign, let's drink the old times down I resign, the contract is fulfilled I resign from this treadmill I resign, somebody else can have the job I resign, I'm off I resign, may be I'm underqualified I resign, but god knows I have tried I resign, didn't meet the requirements I resign, cause everything must come to an end I resign, the contract is fulfilled I resign from this treadmill I resign, somebody else can have the job I resign, I'm off Sorry to disapoint you I know it's not gonna kill you But i always felt a little Like I was standing in the way, like I was a miscast From the very first day And I'll never be your employee of the year I'm so sorry my dear

Amateur 02:47
Amateur I am an amateur, i make mistakes I'm a little bit chubby, only around the waist I'm a little bit old and a little bit slow But I can take a hit just like the pros Where others fall, Im still standing Where others stay down, I rise up again If the odds are against me, I don't give in It's about the fight and not about the win And you won't see me toss in the towel Before the last bell of the last round And this is nothing, it's only a scratch Give me one day off and a cold pack I am an amateur, I work in the day For what I love to do, I don't get paid I'm a little bit old and a little bit slow But I can take a hit just like the pros And you won't see me toss in the towel Before the last bell of the last round Sometimes it's hard to cope my friend Especially if you're on the ropes again

Fury 03:21
Fury Fury the old circus pony Ostrich plume above his brows All the music comes from tape So does the applause Because the circus band got fired And the sword swallower retired Fury lives from shot to shot Behind the other horse he trotts Like a shadow Always running in circles only changing direction To the lashing of the whip All his life, running in circles Give the horse his grain and water Rub it dry with cloth and hay But the rage in his eyes What it's got to say? Fury has jumped the fence Noone knows where he went Now he's running wild On a moonless night Like a shadow

Nazi Racoons 03:12
Nazi Racoons Be careful they're biting and they're always drunk And their odor resembles a skunk's And how they sweat under their steel helmets The nazi racoons are gonne be here soon They resume hitler's plan They travel fast, they take the autobahn They rob banks, they drive around in tanks The nazi racoons are gonne be here soon They have no respect for anyone or anything They have no sense of humour, thy're unforgiving Thy're back again looking for revenge Prepare yourself, get armed Defend yourself or you get harmed Be aware, they're almost here The nazi racoons are gonne be here soon
7.
Freezer 03:24
Freezer If you're looking for me, you can find me in the freezer Between all the frozen food you left behind I asked you to come over, you declined Now it's all mine Because the freezer in your new place is way to small To hold it all And that's not my fault If you're looking for me.. If you're looking for me, you can find me in the freezer Yesterday I found a frozen heart I put it in the microwave to thaw Now it's defrosted but it doesn't beat at all I guess I'll put it with mine and give it some time And if you feel it come to life again, drop me a line If you're looking for me..

Escape Plans 03:30
Escape Plans You sent me a file in a cake, but my chain's to solid And there's an iron ball at the end of it Weights a ton, makes it hard to run I spend my days at the laundry, I got 24 years Every day I'm makeing up escape plans I know there's a world outside these gates And all I have to do is find away out I hid a tin spoon, I use it as a shovel And every night I'm digging on my tunnel That will lead me nowhere You can say life's not fair I need a handgun and a crowbar A bag full of cash and a getaway car I've been here for so long I can't remember what have I done What is the accusation? I want a petitition of mercy Let me out Release me Inside here I'm going to pieces Maby I am not a first offender But this is way too hard

One Bullet 04:31
One Bullet He took the gun, took aim and pulled it And hit the two of them with just one bullet Was a clean job, more or less He had a license, and a supressor The gun felt light, he had a steady hand Maybe it was just luck Maybe a lucky angle She was so fat, she was hard to miss Nobody heard the shot The bullet went clean through her side And the poor fellow stood right behind her Pierced his forehead, it was kind of a mess Nobody heard the shot
10.
In The Family It's in the family, do I have it to? It's in the family, do I have it to? It's in the blood, what can I do? What can I do about it? Oh, I wish i was adopted I wish I was the mailman's son The aching in my head, can somebody please stop it With a shovel or a hammer or a gun Let me be the exception I don't want to be like them With these peole I have no connection I'd rather be overrun by a train When I look at their faces My heart is filled with fear A congregation of hopeless cases And if I am one of themthe end is near
