At the Edge of Reason
02:35

The truth isn’t true
If it does not fit you
You can choose your own news
And you’d better believe it
The lie isn’t fake
It’s the point that you make
‘Cause you know what it takes
So just take it or leave it
Your sense isn’t right
I can fight you with spite
I will shout when you write
And I’ll never believe it
Myself is my guide
I‘ve got me on my side
It’s my right to deny
And I will misconceive it
We’re at the edge – we’re at the edge
We’re at the edge – we’re at the edge
Welcome one and all to the edge of reason
We offer conspiracies for every season
You can have a ball at the edge of reason
Fake a point of view and get your feast on
Well, you and your facts
You can take it all back
I’m on a one-way track
It’s my lane, I won’t leave it
I won’t hear what you say
I don’t care anyway
It’s my right to unsay
And I’ll never believe it
You can’t prove
What’s the truth
You can choose
Your own news

Moving to the Moon
02:41

I’m packing my bags
I’m selling my stuff
Giving away my cat
‘Cause enough is enough
I’m so sick and tired
Of this society
I want to feel alive
Without anxiety
I’m quitting my job
Cleaning out my shack
Returning my books
‘Cause I’m not coming back
I’m so annoyed
With all hypocrites
They don’t even know
They’re living off shit
Aaaa-aaah, I’m moving to the moon
Aaaa-aaah, any day soon
Aaaa-aaah, I’m moving to the moon
Aaaa-aaah, leave them to their doom
And you – can come too – with my crew – if you want to
Because I do – not hate you – that is true
So pay all your debts
And turn off all the lights
We’ll start up the jets
‘Cause tonight is the night
You can all count us out
When settling the scores
We’re not messing about
And the loss is all yours

Hey Man!

Hey man, I read your comment on that girl’s story
You know, you should’ve just given the support she needs
She doesn’t need facts in the matter
She doesn’t need all your stances
She doesn’t need to know about all men
Don’t be part of the problem
Don’t be part of the problem
Don’t be part of the problem
Don’t be part of the problem
Hey man, I heard your comment to that kid back there
You know, you really should choose your words with care
He doesn’t need your view of his choices
He doesn’t need all your morals
He doesn’t need to hear about real men

Just a Different Name
03:24

You and me since time had barely begun Still waiting
Screaming into the early morning sun Still waiting
Climbing hills in search for a better world Still waiting
Rhyming skills in search for better words Still waiting
New name
But the game
Is the same
And it lights a brand new flame
But the blame
Is the same
And it’s just a different name
So many days with plans so badly drawn Still waiting
Trying to figure out what’s going on Still waiting
Burning and relearning from the source Still waiting
Turning and returning to the course Still waiting
---
You and me until the end of time
Fighting hard to find a piece of mind
---
Back and forth it goes
And everybody knows
That it doesn’t mean a thing
Cause it hasn’t got a sting
Round and round it goes
And it only goes to show
That in the long run
Really nothing is won

Share It

The first time that you kissed someone
The time you hated everyone
The picnic on a sunny say
Share it right now!
The thing that someone gave to you
The crappy job interview
The party with your crazy friends
Share it right now!
The fancy dinner with your friends
The northern lights that never ends
The funny things your children said
Share it right now!
The hotel where you always stay
The snow that fell in just one day
The time you made it to the gym
Share it right now!
Photographs – phoney laughs
Good ideas – bad ideas
Happy days – manic phase
Share it right now!
New romance – wasted chance
Narrow views – tragic news
Tasty drink – tasteless ink
Share it right now!
Everybody needs to know
Go on and share it
Everyday another show
Go on and share it
So welcome to this bait of mind
There’s nothing here you won’t see
Just put your whole lives on display
And add some glamour just to please
You’ll be happy, you will feel fulfilled
When we validate your life
If it’s not online, then it’s not divine
And you’ve got to stay alive

Self-Righteous Brat
02:14
|
|||

I can’t take it anymore
I’m sick and tired of your war
Your prejudice fills me with shame
The others always to blame
It’s nice of you to share
But let me stop you right there
In case you forgot, your life is not that bad
The graces you’ve got, and the chances you had
The place you’ve got is privileged and you know that
But you’re a self-righteous brat
Every time you come around
It always makes me feel down
Another scapegoat every time
Every day a suspect sign
However did this come to be
Your own view of reality
Any conspiracy will do
Always convenient to you

Hater
03:27

Yesterday – you knew what was right
You fought for free thought and you brought all injustice to light
These days – you don’t even care
You lie and you try to deny what you know isn’t fair
There’s no way to redeem what you’ve done
There’s no way to go back
All you stood for is still worth the fight
But you sure lost your track
You’re a hater
Agitator
Instigator
A false collaborator
You’re a hater
Agitator
Instigator
A bigot detonator
Conviction – it meant a lot to you
You knew what to do to be true to the radical cause
Consistency – it means nothing to you
You take and you fake and you break any promise there was
Goodbye – to idealistic ways
Hello – to hedonistic days
Goodbye – to democratic chants
Hello – to populistic rants
Goodbye – to sticking to your word
Hello – to selling out the world
Goodbye – to integrity and pride
Hello – to decline and divide

Means a Lot to Me
01:44

I’ve been thinking about this for a while
And I feel I need to tell you about it
I’ve known you now for a quite some time
And it means a lot to me
You can always tell just how I feel
And you know what’s going on inside me
I know you think it’s not a big deal
But it means a lot to me
‘Cause when I’m lost, you lead the way
And make sure that I’m okay
When I’m in the dark, you bring the light
And I know it’s really gonna be alright
We’ve been through a lot of things by now
Happy days and moments best forgotten
But you would never let me down
And it means a lot to me
SOLON -
You were there to see my worst mistakes
And you helped me to pick up the pieces
We both made it through so many heartaches
And it means a lot to me
You were there to share the best of days
And you helped to make them even better
‘Cause we raised hell in so many ways
And it means a lot to me

I never thought that we’d end up here
Dystopic state of everyday
Sad subjects of a mad machinery
One by one they drain away
It used to be so easy
We used to be so free, but
All my friends are falling apart
Buried dreams and desolate art
All my friends are falling apart
Lost desires and incomplete hearts
Falling apart, falling apart – all my friends are falling apart
Falling apart, falling apart – all my friends are falling apart
There’s sadness in the distant voices
Inarticulate sense of blame
Everybody made their choices
But nobody wins the game
It could have been so easy
We could have been so free, but
So, where do we go from here
How do we break the status quo
The numbness makes it all too clear
It’s time to have another go
It should have been so easy
We should have been so free, but

So Far So Good
02:48

After all, how bad could it be?
After all, how do we read the future?
There’s nothing here to see
There’s nothing wrong, I’m feeling super
Yes, I’ve read the papers you sent
And I’ve watched the clips you recommended
Despite the time I spent
I just can’t believe it’s all expended
The way that you explain it, it makes it look so bad
You really should stop all your complaining, it makes us all feel sad
You know we all agreed on retaining, the good times that we had
Let’s keep our fingers crossed… So Far So Good
After all, it’s a big big world
After all, it might be only natural?
So many things I’ve heard
I really try to be sane and rational
Yes, I’ve heard what you said before
And I learnt about those greenhouse gases
But how can you be so sure?
How come you can’t convince the masses?
(Let’s keep our fingers crossed)
After all, who can really tell?
After all, I have my doubts about it
They make it sound like hell
I don’t really want to think about it
