Bad times before it's getting any better
Bad times are coming to town
2x
They talk about a cyber attack
They say that Covid will come back
They slam the door in your face
They hit you/us twice, so you better find a base
Upon we can defend ourselves
Upon we can hit them back
Bad times are coming to town
I do see the plans in store
I can see them coming
No surprises anymore
I can see them rushing
Sure is taking you a while
Although the proof is quite a pile
We better stick together
We better form a team
We better see the aggressor
We better make him scream
You keep us waiting
You're so vast asleep
The challenge you are facing
The truth will make you weep
I will stay in the background
So you can take your time
To come around
They talk about us going to war
Need our money, so tax us even more

You And I
03:34

You and I will be stronger than the rest
You and I are hard to beat
We will pass this test
Victory will be so sweet
Time is on our side, we will make it to the end
Patience will be our best friend
We will reach the line
And everything will be fine
You and I will be together
You and I will stand together
You and I will fight together
You and I will stick together
You and I will be together
In a better world
What can I say
When you ask me to explain
How could I know
While the rest is so slow
You and I reached a point of no return
You and I won't come back
We're heading for a better place
Just following this track
It doesn't come easy
These people are sleazy
Take my hand, together we will stand
We can't afford getting sleepy
It's getting really creepy
We have to strenghten our hand
Don't follow their command

Danger From Within
03:36
|

The danger comes from within
You can't see it coming
There's not a battle you can win
When you won't change your vision
I know right now
I saw it for myself
This life is the chance
The moment we can change things around
To find the truth never found
I've been a fool
I thought that I had made it
Thinking I was so cool
Relying on my wit
When you look inside
When you let the words move and slide
When you face the other side
No need to run away and hide
I don't know the answers
I don't know where it's all about
But really, that's all that really matters

I think of you when I am lonely
I think of you when I am down
In troubled times you're the only
The only one here in town
I can rely on your sweet lovin'
I see the smile on your face
Your eyes seem to be glowing
You are a top-act, you are ace
You don't ask me stupid questions
You don't call me all the time
You don't bother me with suggestions
What to do when it's showtime
I love that look in your eyes, it's lovely
When I give you a surprise you adore me
You never seem to make things more then they are
I sometimes wonder what you're thinking
I wonder if you think at all
Your eyes are always twinkling
As if you're always having a ball
You like to hold my hand when we're walking
You like to write my name in the sand
You don't mind we're not talking
You put your attention in your hands
I remember when I first saw you
You had that funny look on your face
Your eyes were all laughing
I fell in love with your grace

The Great Awakening
04:15

We actually should be laughing
It's so ridiculous what they say
But the people are believing
This nonsense day after day
I just can't get my head around it
It's making me crazy, I admit
Way over time, reactions out of line
I try to take it as it is
Staying calm is the way to go for this
They keep nagging about the climate
Making us feel so guilty
I will tell you their little secret
They just confuse you with their theory
Meanwhile they keep on flying
On their gasoline fueled private jets
Guess it's fine for the climate
It's as wicked as it gets
So we'll end up eating bugs
While they be laughing at us
It would drive me insane
But their efforts are in vain
When they'll drive us to the edge
And we will feel the pain
It could drive us insane
If everything would stay the same
But I know they'll lose their game
Everything they do is in vain

She Ain't Coming Back
03:16
|
|||
|
I am gazing at the door
I am sitting on the floor
I don't want this waiting anymore
I am waiting for you
So what can I do
I've been hanging around for so long
I've been wasting my time
I've been wasting my time for too long
You said you would come back
So I cut you some slack
So I better hit the sack right now
I realised too late
Forgot to anticipate
She ain't coming back to me
She ain't coming back
She ain't coming back to me

Line In The Sand
05:20
|
|||
|
The way it's going
It's getting out of hand
Before we know it
Everything is banned
They censure what we say
They spy on what we do all day
All we need to do is comply
But I can't see the reason why
They take away my freedom
And life would become so gruesome
Baby, baby, baby, what's going on
You need to tell me something
Is it a con
It's showing all the signs
We need to draw some lines
Baby, baby, baby, what's going on
They take away my freedom
I could have sworne
As if it is all planned
We need to draw a line in the sand
I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
I can't agree with this
I can't allow this no more
You don't seem to bother
You act like my doctor
Advise me to take the jab
You don't seem to realise
You don't see this power grab
The way I see it
We sure won't agree on this
Finally you see it, bit by bit
Change is coming
It's taking some time to admit
You don't seem to notice
You just don't see the menace
Walking straight into their trap
You don't seem to realise
You don't see this power grab

In The Long Run
03:59

It is such a disgrace
Those politicians are still in place
I'm wondering why
Can't we take over, shouldn't we try
I don't believe a word they're saying
I lost my trust, it's making me sick
I keep complaining
It's getting on my nerves
It is such a burden
And on the other hand a relief
I keep on waiting
We need to end this endless grief
They keep doing the bad things they use to do
They keep fooling you
You seem to have no clue
It is so disgusting
The things they do to stay in place
They keep indulging
Their little ratrace
They will fall flat on their face
They will find themselves in a battlespace
They will lose in the end
And finally you'll understand
Love will always win in the long run
Love will always conquer the bad ones

House of Cards
03:49
|
|||
|
Listen very carefully, don't let them get away
With the garbage that they say
They don't listen to the people
They just do what they please
Meanwhile pretend that they care
They don't really give a damn
It's just an awful scam
They portray it as if they care
When you do the research
Dig up their hidden agenda
You'll be shocked to the core
The role they need you to play
They don't want you to see what they do
Obedience's the way to go
They keep you entertained
Distract you all the day
Watching tv
No way that I will see
The things that I have read
On the internet
You keep supporting the construction they portray
A house of cards
It won't last another day
If we would see it, if we would take it
For what it is
I won't take it anymore
I won't do it anymore
I reject all the nonsense they say
I won't take it anymore
I won't do it anymore
The things that they say are insane

End Of Dark Times
03:07
|
|||
|
I realize
When I emphasise
The things that really matter to me
It might just be turning you of
So I stay away
Or leave for a day
When I just can't let them go
I'll be coming back when I am in the right flow
The moment is getting closer to go home
The end of these dark times so close
I am feeling tight
Put on the light
Makes me feel a bit better
I've been away for far, far too long
In the middle of night
It can't be right
Nevertheless I'm reaching home
I will try to be as silent as I can be
The sadness, the loneliness, all gone
The doubt in my mind felt so wrong

Good Riddance
03:52
|

The same kind of people
The same kind of troubles all day
They forgot what is legal
They act as if we are just prey
The same kind of hassle
All they do is swindle
There's no sense to quibble
It's all too fickle
The same kind of people
The same kind of troubles all day
We need to get them out of the way
We need to start all fresh from this day
Get rid of these people
Get rid of these troubles today
It could be so fine
If we would draw a line
A line in the sand
I think that the wounds would then mend
We need to make our own future
We need to remove this tumor
Get rid of these people
Get rid of these troubles, bring back some humor
We need some lightness
We need to have some fun
We need some brightness
Get our heads in the sun

Looking Back
03:26
|

|
I never really worked it out
At the time it made me scream and shout
Thought that you would be
The one that was ment for me
But then it was all over
With a day's notice
Thought I would never recover
That my broken heart would never mend
Got my life on the rails again
Seems that I have found the right track
But sometimes I think of you know when
Although I try not to look back
But once I am back again
I have the same old questions, you will not answer them
It seems I can never recover
My heart feels broken again
I try to picture your face
I haven't seen you since those days
But somehow I know how you look now
I can see you lifting an eyebrow

So Blue
03:36

Where's my baby
When I need her so much
Where's my lady
Now we are out of touch
I need her to be
Here with me
I want her to hear
About this awful year
She left me in a hurry
All I do is worry
Is this the end of this story
I am trying to forget her
Set my mind on someone else
Spend my money on some new gear
Can't forget how she smells
No matter what I do
No matter what I say
Her leaving makes me feel so blue
