1. Changes

I need a new direction
Another thought to serve me right My mind has got an infection
Where nothing can disturb me,
Where I am free, where I'm forever set

Maybe it's not important
If we are dead or alive.
I never ever wanna listen to the sirens
I'm alive, still alive.

Who says: we are not guilty
I say: we never know the way it goes

Changes – all around me, all inside my head
Changes – changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes –in all day routine.

Hard to enjoy the good times, Decay is what I feel
God, it's makin' me porous, vanish in haze,
I wonder, wonder if I'm real.

Newflash – under the new regulations
Non-conformity will be punished by law.
Relax – and don't forget to unplug your TV set!
Sigh no more!

For you, you are not guilty,
No, no, you're not responsible at all.

Changes – all around me, all inside my head
Changes – changing face, still remaining mad.
Changes – changing systems, still insane.
Changes – but the madness will remain.

Who is the man who says I'm never gonna die?
It's a lie, it's a lie!
And who is the man who says, I never have a sigh?
It's a lie, it's a lie!

Oppression, resistance
We will never change our way,
The island in my mind is growin'
More and more, day after day.

Changes – all around me now, all inside me now
Changes – wanna cry no more, sigh no more.

2. Rich & Famous

I don't believe in fame, I believe in music.
I don't believe in money, I believe in the power of love.
I know I got a brain and I know how to use it.
I don't want no one to stick his finger in my pie.

You think you put your best foot forward
But it is moved by someone else.
In blind belief you follow every path that says:
I lead you to a universe of fortune, fame and luck.

Do you really wanna be – rich and famous, rich and famous.
Do you really wanna be – rich and famous now.

I don't believe in Rock 'n' Roll illusions.
I don't believe that what they say must always be the truth.
I don't believe in good guys against bad guys.
I just might as well say I believe in Santa Claus.

Mr. Big shot wat is your game
Mr. Big shot what is your final aim.
Now you wonder who is to blame.
Mr. Big shot what is your final aim in life.

Rich and famous, house with two hours, big jacuzzi, car with TV.
Private airplane, furs and diamonds, seafood cocktails-
CRAP AND BULLSHIT!

3. As Time Goes By

Do you believe in justice
Or so-called co-existence?
What's wrong with politicians?
They give their best for you

The economic's growin'
Some tiny holes above
A little radiation
Wake up this planet fades

You are not watching, you're part of the show
You lost the first prize a long time ago.

WAR – somebody's always starts again
HATE – the seed is growin' in our hands

As time goes by
(We never seem to beat the ones
Who say we can't be free)
As time goes by.

Do you believe in money?
Do you believe in guns?
Do you trust the press, babe?
You'd better judge yourself.

The missiles are launching, the tanks are rollin'
The guns are blazing, the sky turns black!

We're getting closer to the end of our ability
As time goes by
Is there a place to run for shelter in a high tech war
As time goes by
Can you believe and trust in God
To help you from above.

4. (We Won't) Stop The War

So now we talk about destruction 'bout the way that we might go
I've seen the headlines in the papers,
The truth is more thatn we should know.

Somebody waek me from this nightmare,
Is this a TV horror show?
We can run and we can walk
We can sit and we can talk.

But we won't stop the war – oh no!

Silent whispers in the ice-machine today
Calling for my brain in silent ways,
No more changes in this world in which we live in
And I don't know who the guy is
Who's talking with the friendly grin.

I never heard of any bargain
I don't know what's goin' on
It doesn't matter anyway

We won't stop the war – oh no!

Somewhere – I might go insane
Somehow – I might lose my brain
Somehow – I might even care
And somehow – I never ever will accept the way
That things are going

We can rund and we can walk
We can sit and ewe can talk

We won't stop the war.

5. Father And Son

Did you ever want to worry
Did you ever wanna have a doubt?
You wanted the best for me,
Somehow things went wrong. And i tore us apart.
Did you ever think it was easy,
Thought my time was running out
Tried it how I wanted tto
Though you did not agree
But I was calling you – calling (repeat)

Father, you can't hide, it's time to lose the pride – some day.
Take a look and see, I'm blue as I can be.

In former days you made your own way,
You found on easy way of life.
But I'll be never satisfied to work from nine till five.
I'm heading for more-
I remember what you've said
But I know I won't regret
When I try to break the rules
I'm searching for my way, my own way

Father, you can't hide your feelings deep inside – oh no
There's a better way for you and me today.

I can't stand it anymore – it's only you and me,
We have to talk and see.
How things are gonna be, but all I want is peace
Father, Father, Father –

Father, now it's time, we ain't losin' our minds any more
It seems so long ago, fate will bring us hope!

6. One With The World

Do you think there's a chance
For this world to live in unity as one?
I can try to believe
But I feel it's like a view into the sun.

Blinded by the light everything will look so fine
But still I feel the rays are burning my soul.

So you say you believe
We can change the world together if we try.
I know we won't change.
When it comes to the point
Do you think we reach an aim that is too high?
I know we don't arrange.

But I know we're all the same
When the final curtain falls
And the sings on the way
Are leading us home

When I'm one with the world
I am one with my mind
Forget all the fury there's no need to cry
There's a place we all go, salvation to find
There's freedom to come
When I'm one with the world and my mind.

Do you feel, do you know?
There's an answer to the question when you're gone.
You're not alone.
You will see, we will see
Is there nothing or a better place to go?
We can't go wrong.

There are echoes in the wind
And they say don't be afraid
'cos the signs on the way
Are leading us home

7. Start Running

Mankind has found every treasure on earth
It stands to reason that we have got all we need.
Comfort is now a condition of life,
Without any sources our dream will fade away.

To live a better way was our final aim– Did we ever try?

Start running–
The moment of reason will somebody appear,
But then it's too late to return to stay,
No single person can change the truth,
We have to move forward and do it side by side.

To live a better day is our final aim
And we won't stop tryin

Start running – can't you see the hangmen are comin?

The things we have done to destroy our wolrd are enough.
How long will the madness remain?

We're children of the warriors, we learn from our faults,
Hope is our guiding hand, consience is our force.

8. Countdown

The businessmen got a job to do
The Eastenworld is waiting too.

They're sittin' on a bloodstone calling you a beggar,
Waitin' for another deal in open cars.
The presence of the men gives a bad vibration,
They're countin' dollar bills, and they're workin' on
The final countdown
Countdown

I'm sitting all around and I'm waitin' for the lyrics
they gotta be cool, botta satisfy the critics.
"Sign of warning all across the edges"
maybe too pathetic ... and my pencil scratches,

Meanwhile X is comin' from Miami
Another perfect deal was made in open cars.
I don't care 'cos I'm much too busy,
I have to write my lyrics
And I'm waiting for the final countdown, Countdown.

It's jut a matter of time
We're only waitin' for the end of the world
And we got nothing to lose
We're only servants of the monsters we curse.
It's just a matter of time
We can be sure we'll be doin' our worst.
And we're waiting for the countdown.

We're sittin' all around and we drink our lage,
Thanks to God we got no embargo.
What is left to do when you're looking for pleasure,
Somehow we gottta lose the pressure.

We're sittin' on a blood stone, worker, boss and beggar.
I don't give a damn
I want my open car.
God has tourned to money, Jesus is a Liqueur
I'd rather get my record done and party for the final,
COUNTDOWN, COUNTDOWN.

9. Dream Healer

Who will creep inside your mind a night,
Who makes your wildest dream arise?
Who makes you see what you can't see,
While you're awake but in your dreams?

Out of a world we call the twilight zone he comes,
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.

DREAM HEALER – he makes you see what you can't see
DREAM HEALER – reflecting your identity.

Shout at the morning when the red sunrise awakes,
The call of reality is all you hear.
Gaze at the stars, when the night comes down again
Then you begin to see through all of your fears.

Out of a world where you can see what is inside
Out of a world where all your reason is a lie.

I see red and I see blue, I see green and I see yellow – yellow lights.
One day black another day white. He's one day quiet
Another day he calls my mama
He's comin' out – he's comin' out

Listen to dreams – they always tell you the truth.
Listen to dreams – it is your heart that's speakin' to you
Listen – listen to the dream healer.

10. The Spirit

We follow our instince, we're livin' in between,
The struggle of the races continues on the scene.
A million miles above us the spirit is unseen,
Beyond our small horizon it's got a perfect dream.

We travel through the ages, we follow our dreams
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream.

The sun, the wind and water all we really need,
We waste our time to satisfy our greed.

We travel through the ages, the world remains obscene
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream.
We're about to lose control now, the prophecy is clear,
Does it help to sigh and hope with sentimental fear?
S.O.S. no more lifeboats here.

If I could ask the maker about the master plan
Could he give an answer, would I understand?

Our ignorance will drive us on, the world remains obscene
But the spirit of a free world is the final dream.
