I DO IT FOR MYSELF
A few words to say, I’m not here for money or fame.
What you are listening to comes from the heart, not from greed.
I’ve been playing for years for my soul, for my ears.
I’ve always walked alone and I’m proud for what I’ve done.
I do it for my self, for no one else, because my life belongs to me.

D.I.Y.
So tired to bleed and to feel nailed to the wall,
since when do indie labels act like majors?
“You better do this but you gotta pay.
Trust me I will open your way.
Just write me a hit, a sweet melody, a clean sound.
As catchy as you can, but please not too loud.
Now punk rock got standards, no matter what you say
Please keep your rage far away”.
I pull out nails from the wall
I prefer falling down to feeling so ridiculous.
I still feel a reason to fight.
‘cause I’ve always trusted in D.I.Y.
I’m getting proud as time goes by, ‘cause your bullshit won’t feed my mind.
I can look proudly at my soul, ‘cause if I’m wrong I’m wrong alone.
I’ve always done it for myself, for my band and for no one else.
Because passion never lies, instead money makes people blind.
It’s useless for you to show me the door.
Your words are getting me annoyed and bored.
I won’t be part of such shame!
I pull out nails from the wall
I prefer falling down to feeling so ridiculous.
I still feel a reason to fight.
‘cause I’ve always trusted in D.I.Y.

Denise was a liar

DENISE WAS A LIAR
Denise wore a tiny heavy metal shirt, big boots, chains and a mini-skirt.
She was on the first row at the show.
After that I met her backstage. She told us we’d have partied until the day after and she said: “Guys come on!...let’s take a short walk”.
Everybody was screaming: “Walk?!?”
Everybody was screaming: “Waaa-walk?!?”
Denise was a liar…what a walk!
(Last: Denise you’re a liar, but we love you).
It seemed I walked across the whole of Germany
From Münich to the cold Baltic Sea
For ten times back and forth.
Everybody knows we’re just a bunch of drunks
A girl shouldn’t go out with such lazy punks
addicted to alcohol.
I’m so bored to walk!
Denise don’t get pissed off if your name is in this song.
You know it’s just a joke. I want you to know we had a great time with you!

It doesn't matter

IT DOESN’T MATTER
If you take a look at this world can’t you see there’s something wrong?
Welcome to the age of hate, feel free to overcome.
Earth raped in the name of progress, money is the final aim today.
People praying to Gods and loving each other in the name of hate.
Black sparkling leather boots carrying peace and feeling free to abuse.
For the poor it’s the same old story nothing but bad news.
Look at me my friend, can you really say it doesn’t matter?
It’s hard to say it doesn’t matter. It’s hard to say.
It’s time to wake up and change. It’s time to throw’em all away.
Darth Sidious from his balcony says bullshit while drinking blood. Maybe red wine tastes better when it’s drank in the name of God.
I am with Anakin, Obi-Wan and the rest of the Jedi’s
I’m gonna use the Force to face the leader, to stop any fight.
Why don’t we try? at least we have nothing else more to loose.
We still got a brain, we can quit acting like fools.
Look at me my friend, you can’t really say it doesn’t matter.
It’s hard to say it doesn’t matter. It’s hard to say.
It’s time to wake up and change. It’s time to throw’em all away.
Some people in this world may think we don’t care ‘bout anything.
Let them hear our voice because the worst for us has yet to come.
Global warming, waste and greed is what we’re leaving to our kids;
Chemical weapons and H bombs are our main priorities.
Look at me my friend, you can’t really say it doesn’t matter.
It’s hard to say it doesn’t matter. It’s hard to say.
It’s time to wake up and change. It’s time to throw’em all away.

Distorted Reality
We’re here to see people die.
Can’t do without it, thought we’d try.
Pause, stop, rewind and play; brand new blood is available everyday.
All is fine! as we keep on going by what we hear and see
looking at channel six.
Please take it away from me, I don’t care about anything (I see).
It’s not for me. Your news is not reality. Today there is a better way.
A mouse instead of a remote control.
A brain turned on would forbid you to choke.
We keep on needing more blood.
We are addicted. We wanna drown (in it).
We forgot what’s wrong and what’s right.
Feeding fear is the only way to buy
our hearts and brains, freedom and souls.
So fuck them all!
Sometimes, you know, reality is not a joke
Behind that blood there’s sufference and pain we should respect.
Please take it away from me, I don’t care about anything (I see).
It’s not for me. Your news is not reality. Today there is a better way.
A mouse instead of a remote control.
A brain turned on would forbid you to choke.
Next time might be your turn, believe me, this is not a joke!
So take it away from me, I don’t care about anything.
It’s not for me. Your news are not reality. Today there is a better way.
A brain turned on would help you to get out from this joke.

Brand new day

BRAND NEW DAY
Trust me when I say Tomorrow’s gonna be the day
As the sun rises through the town
So does the power of our fucking sound
Now I think we all can ride
As there’s no day without night
The existence through the next step
Just as it was the newest thing we’ve ever met
Maybe now you don’t agree
But you will soon start to see
That there’s someone who believes in you
Every day can seem like nonsense
Living here
Every night can seem quite useless
Staying here
Because you know it seems a place where not to go
And so what is driving all? it’s so hidden
And not easy to find out!
I’d better throw my fears away
To allow the dawn of a brand new day
And use as weapons the sun’s light
Destroying darkness that laid so long in my mind
Rewinding memories filled
For so long in my mind
Like poisoned bullets trained
Up to strike
First just hurting me
Then keep wounding me slowly
Leaving me no place to go
Letting me fall
And losing reality
The escape i craved was inside of me
Sometimes you don’t now where to go
Sometimes you just walk through the crowd
looking for someone who believes in you!
So every day would be the best one
Someone who believes in you!
Every night would be so quiet
Someone who believes in you!
Yeah there’s someone who believes in you!
Yeah there’s someone who believes in you!

DOUBLE MALT HAPPINESS
I’ve got my beer just in time to go on and keep feeling fine.
It’s so strange when you face life sober everyday.
When there’s no streets and no goals and your life begins to fall.
No more tears to be cried; fuck that bullshit in my mind.
I feel erased. I’m starting to fade.
Everything goes from Z to A.
So what the hell?
So I say: “Blonde or Brown,
You can’t leave me now,
Just another round”.
And I say: “You can’t leave me now,
Keep on going down,
I wanna drown in your double malt happiness.
It is so strange when you face life clean and sober everyday.
I’m going around back and forth trying to find out what hurts (me).
As you can see I’m not like what you want me to be; I don’t care what people think of me.
I’m getting down everyday. Do you wanna have a trip with me?

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH US?
How did we become so fucking cursed?
I feel kinda weak, confused, angry. It is the first time
after so many years. We’re missing someone on board
and it’s not so easy to swallow, when its a friend that’s gone.
Will I be able to afford
to carry on the game? After all we started together and
nothing will be the same. Definitely the worst backstage surprise.
But if you still believe in what we know,
I’m sure you’ll realize that you’re wrong.
If you believe in something you care
there’s nothing better than to always have a new dare.
Since your ambition is so clear to me
it’s a matter of time and I hope you’ll soon feel the need for it.
(last):
We’ll miss the times we were used to soaking
The irony and the professional working.
Please tell me you’re only joking.
That’s ok, this is a fucking curse,
I should stop feeling weak, confused, angry. Now is the time to kick
bad luck right in its ass. There is someone else on board
trying to make me remember to do what actually I am here for.
Take your time to rationalize on your own.
If you wanna come back there’s no need to knock on the door.
We cannot believe you were getting bored.
Ten years and friendships left on the floor.

NO FUN IN MY HOMETOWN
In this boring town, nothing to do all the time.
I keep on feeling down, alcohol should keep me fine.
Can you show me a place to go.
I tried so hard but I don’t really know.
All I found is a place which sucks me dry, destiny will take my life.
Where to go? where to fly? where to find someone alive?
Everywhere I go I see everything but not life.
My old friend radio is gonna keep me safe and warm.
Along with it I’ll find my world.
I wanna leave this town, can’t stand another night.
I keep on falling down, alcohol isn’t enough.
Gotta stop this fall. I got no appreciation for anyone.
Where to go? where to fly? where to find someone alive?
Everywhere I go I see anything but not life.
Is my old friend sweet red wine gonna make me feel alright?.
Gotta go before I’m out of time.
It’s time to leave all that behind.
I’ll thank it for the all useless nights.
The best ones were when I was alone
drinking beer and writing songs.
I’ll leave all that behind.
I’ll thank it for the all useless nights.
I’ll keep on staying on my own
drinking beer and writing songs.
Where to go? where to fly? where to find someone alive?
Everywhere I go I see everything but not life.
My old friend radio is gonna keep me safe and warm.
Along with it I’ll find my world.

NOTHING CHANGES (IN ITALY)
Do you know your rights? They should be the same as mine.
You could say I’m saying nothing new. It’s not true.
You should know there’s a place where someone can really change
laws and rights feeling free to crime all the time.
He can sit in parliament, he can even lead the government.
A status gained through money, cheats and lies. Yes, lies!
He won’t care about your needs. Wake up your own greed.
After all, we know how to do it fine. Our history, our life.
Where did we go wrong?..and now, for how long should we suffer in this situation? How do we can buy back freedom sold out last night? At least bitches sell ass but never sell their minds.
I’d really like to know what happened to us to allow such an asshole to control our lives. What a long time!
Sixty years have passed, maybe we need a rest. I guess freedom won’t fit this gutless nation. Say goodbye, she’s gone.
Shut up! Obey!
Your mind is too busy watching a football game.
Watch it, you ass, it’s the next place he’s gonna play.
He keeps on feeding you with everything you don’t need.
The more you like it the more he likes to feed.

MY OWN WAY
When I was a child my mom told me to pray
“Son, do it well, at least three times a day
You will go to hell, listen to me don’t be a fool
You gotta obey me, son, you best walk on the right track”
Tomorrow’s sun will rise, I’ll wait for the sunshine,
Even if I won’t pray, be sure there will be a new day.
Catastrophes I’m sure wouldn’t occur, the only lesson I wanna learn
it’s not the one taught by your God or by the Church you love a lot.
Sometimes damned men and bewitched girls taught us the greatest lessons
I don’t want to generalize but you have to realize your friends are going lame.
So I live my own way.
You gave me a brain, it’s gonna set me free from all the fears you call devotion and religion.
Sometimes damned men and bewitched girls taught us the greatest lessons
I don’t want to generalize but you have to realize your friends are going lame.
So I live my own way, heretic without shame.
I live my own way, am I wrong? I don’t really care.
So I live my own way.
I live my own way, with you guys got nothing to share
Faith is so far away from what I care.
Look in my eyes, can you see the “holy” science?
Evolution. You can pray, she will go on.
So I live my own way.

ROCKIN’ RAG
I’m gonna sing along with my friends in this happy song,
I’ll do it again and again until I feel done.
I don’t ask for a dime, it makes me feel fine.
I’m gonna rock tonight!
I will be glad if you’d give me some booze,
Gonna drink it hard I’m the king of abuse.
I don’t ask for a dime, it makes me feel fine.
I’m gonna rock tonight!
I don’t need a crowd, a stage, or any planned show.
My home is everywhere, my life’s on the road.
I don’t ask for a dime, it makes me feel fine.
I’m gonna rock tonight!
Actually I can’t never stop, I feel addicted I can’t really give-up!
I hear the melody trapped in my mind starting to grow.
Finally the time has arrived, I wanna rock tonight!
There is nothing wrong, it’s just time to go.
I’m gonna rock. I’ll do it with or without you.
I’m born to play without rules.
I’m gonna rock. I’ll do it even in the loo.
So come with me. I gotta poo.
Hey! Ho! Let’s rock around. I just need a beer to keep me going on.
Let’s sing along, pass me a bong, gotta rock around ‘til a new day will come.
