ALL MOD CONS 01:12
ALL MOD CONS our propaganda bends the truth our spin doctors rearrange the rules our ministers talk straight granted pleasures for the underlings serve as the bait our laws are just our economy is not going to go bust our people are the best they will never rise or create social unrest we are the rulers and we tell you what's really going on we only want your best so be willing to be beaten upon ruthless exploitation - prepare for the planet's cremation we call it accelerating progress - there's no freedom our police cannot suppress environmental disaster - adjustment of the natural habitat becomes faster

CITYBOY 03:09
Cityboy might be the light before night falls? I'm feeling drained staring at the empty walls sold my advice on distressed debt investments to private equities - they won't regret cityboy cityboy - I'm coming down again cityboy cityboy - I'm getting too old for this game picking through the bankruptcy's entrails while the world's economy derails explained them how to yield a profit why don't I care at least a bit? cityboy cityboy - I'm coming down again cityboy cityboy - I'm feeling too old for this game cityboy cityboy - coming down again cityboy cityboy - I'm getting too old for this game spending hours on the phone dealing non-performing loans my bonus payments are full-blown while toxic assets are stripped down to the bone cityboy cityboy - I'm coming down again cityboy cityboy - I'm feeling too old for this game cityboy cityboy - I'm coming down again cityboy cityboy - I'm feeling too old for this game cityboy cityboy - I'm coming down again cityboy cityboy - I'm feeling too old for this game cityboy cityboy - coming down again cityboy cityboy - I'm getting too old for this game

I ain't got the answer have to ask Bruce Lee I ain't got the answer have to ask Bruce Lee does being rich mean happiness? how can I move and gain success? should I go ahead and close my mind? or should I open up and leave it all behind? can I conquer sorrow? what's for lunch tomorrow? I ain't got the answer have to go and ask Bruce Lee - ask him now I don't have the answer yet that's why I have to ask Bruce Lee I ain't got the answer I don't have the answer I ain't got the answer I don't have the answer I ain't got the answer I don't have the answer I ain't got the answer I don't have the answer I ain't got the answer have to ask Bruce Lee

BREAK FREE 04:19
Break Free a lucid light you're passing by a shape and cloth that caught my eye a gentle breeze to strike your hair the fleeting bliss matched earth and air do you wanna be with me? a glimpse of frown too fast to catch you finally closed the escape hatch the distant words just fade away I wish I'd never heard you say if you wanna be with me give up all concepts... if you wanna be with me ...just break free I don't know if it's good or bad if it's right or wrong just have to make sure that I don't belong a lucid light you're passing by a shape and cloth that caught my eye a gentle breeze to strike your hair the fleeting bliss matched earth and air if you wanna be with me I'll give up all concepts... if you wanna be with me I'll break free never ever forgotten clothes like clouds never ever forgotten clothes like clouds clothes like clouds never ever forgotten clothes like clouds never ever forgotten you picked white cotton

OLD HAND 04:00
Old Hand hey young guns with glittering eyes you're buzzing around like blue arsed flies so when you manage to land a prize you happily believe their flattering lies recovering from your weeping fit you're hysterically hung up on it not realizing fading time eats mercilessly away at your prime seen it before it's all but new I know what life and death can do self-mockery and ready wit the proper way to deal with it terrifically at ease just free from fear I may not please acting naturally is a simple thing stop holding it back from deep within so when your fame slowly declines and you begin to see the signs don't let self-confidence come crashing down clinging feebly - you'd only touched the crown once let's go enjoy the invitation not pondering on expectations driven by auspicious inspiration is the design of our creation not wallowing in intense sensations holds us back from agitation keep up the laid-back attitude based on serious gratitude seen it before it's all but new I know what life and death can do self-mockery and ready wit the proper way to deal with it terrifically at ease just free from fear I may not please acting naturally is a simple thing stop holding it back from deep within enjoying every minute of it the audience is hooked on it show them how to go for it don't matter what the night will bring go for the moment and that's it

What's It Worth? acting blind and running wild for what I know - I run for cover distracted with no time to think straight driven by fear - I chill and shiver feeling restless and misplaced here can't afford to stop and ponder instead I have to keep on running hasty hasty hasty hasty hasty hasty - OUT OF BREATH give me a break let me see it shining through will you give me a break from labor and from leisure too please give me a break my days are past the best will you give me a break? what's it worth - the privilege to rest? acting blind and running wild for what I know - I run for cover distracted with no time to think straight driven by fear - I chill and shiver my every move is rushed and hurried I'm buzzing along - pretending with ease what's stimulating flapping scarecrows? agitation is my disease give me a break let me see it shining through will you give me a break from labor and from leisure too please give me a break my days are past the best just give me a break what's it worth - the privilege to rest? give me a break let me see it shining through will you give me a break from labor and from leisure too now give me a break my days are past the best please give me a break what's it worth - the privilege to rest?

Freeze And Chill emotional turmoil of unspoken pain I'm circling the drain trying hard to stay sane my life's a game of exploitation I run and trade you for sedation the uncontrollable urge that pushes me further and further and further to the verge - towards the edge I still try and keep my pledge to fulfill your will if there's nothing else I can do - I just freeze and chill freeze and chill I just freeze and chill disarranged and weakened - as I am now it's freeze and chill bored to distraction need a piece of the action never enough - went for the new shiny stuff - till they called my bluff playin' it clever thought it would last forever till it came all crashing down n o w I wear the fool's crown creeping along shallow-brained every reason to feel faint at last watching my life flashing by - the catcher in the rye - present or past - now I better...now I better freeze and chill freeze and chill I just freeze and chill disarranged and weakened - as I am now it's freeze and chill freeze and chill I just freeze and chill disarranged and weakened - as I am now it's freeze and chill
