HAND IN HAND
hand in hand She follows me down to where I go She comes in a cloud but she don't know She walks in a haze Do we get up before it ever gets too late Hand in hand we walk on down The alley and our common ground We walk in a haze Do we pass out before we ever know it's on She ain't never gonna get wise And I feel better with my hands tied She follows me down to where I go Not pulling a chain not feeling low Don't wake me up I can't relate to any other song today Hand in hand we walk along The alley and our common ground I walk in a haze why should I care I'm waiting out the days go anywhere
MONSTER

EVERYTHING

DISCONNECTED
I feel lost in my head I'm down with all my emptiness and sad I miss what I had I lost my ground and what I found instead Is this world disconnected ... like you and me still dare to think we could meet leave it all behind and flee but I don't want to run away.

TO BE STRONG
Waiting here in line trying to get the bullshit off my mind time is on my side I'm not here to hide I need to breath and I'm not scared but I don't know how it is to be strong It feels like this far too long trying to get the pressure out of this song so here I am on my own with my back on the wall to be strong.
SUMMER
We burned the summer down there's dust when we're around it's done this afternoon we came right back from moon we paint the town red to see what we will get don't care about the past today we'll make it last we came around breaking up the silence that we've found and I'm alive there ain't no place to stay so watch our tailights fade the way it's said and done it leads to where I'm bound.

PANIC
Hi folks I´m fucked up again. Eat breakfast in the afternoon. I´m feeling like a loaded gun. MIdlife crisis´ coming soon. Yeah! I have no time to waste. Yeah! I know I got no time to waste. This ain´t the way it´s supposed to be. I´m bored thinking ´bout my destiny. Another sunday afternoon. Come down think positive. Find salvation in an ugly place. Masturbation lost its fun. Ok, let´s go turn the tv on. Oh, fuck not this again! Oh yeah, the charts - not this crap again. What have I done' Today the panic comes. Call my friends the panic comes "sick and tired of being down".
WE HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT TONIGHT
Break it up before you break down. I´m not happy whatever that means. I can´t let you go I build my world around you. What do you think about me' And you yell at me. C`mon say something. Is the passion dead or is it coming back' We have to figure it out tonight.
SHUT UP STAND UP
I quit this conversation you´re right and I´m done. I think you make yourself a victim There´s nothing good enough there´s only one colour deep grey and a bitter taste you don´t know what´s there if you don´t try. Shut up stand up. You drive me up the wall I heard it all before I quit this conversation you don´t let your feelings show I don´t knowwhat you got inside by the wayI wanna have a good time with you it´s friday night and I wanna go out I need some air and a place to go so won´t you please shut up.
SHINY SHOES
A nine-to-fiver still-aliver a born survivor I´m changing into overdrive try to make it so hard to take it learn to fake it before I break it suit and tie yeah I wonder why yeah shiny shoes yeah dress in style yeah and wear a smile yeah "show ´em what I got cause I own the world tonight" here I am now takin´ aim nowI nearly blew it but still got through it I always knew it there´s nothing to it takin´ aim now I´m glad I came now light the flame now breaking the chain now "show ´em what I got cause I own the world tonight".
2 O'CLOCK
I wanna do a million things and some of them tonight I wanna be a million places I guess I´m looking for a light I´m gonna loose my head I´m going down I´m gonna loose the man I am nothing remains I speak against the wall nothing comes back at all no feedback anywhere and nobody´s there if I waited a bit too long it´s hard for me to change I grab everything I can that´s all and when it matters then I´m blind nothing is alright I only see what I wanna see it breaks me up again tonight.
HAPPY NOW'
I´ll take care of you I´m your one and all we belong together baby whenever I call grab my fingers grab my hand grab everything you can cause I´m the best friend you ever had are you happy now c´mon play that game and bring me down are you happy now I know you and I´m not your clown I don´t know what you´re talking about but I know what´s good for you hey now I´ll give you everything and tomorrow you´ll get the rest.
MIETZI'S SONG
You showed me colours I ´d never seen there was so much we used to share you took me places where I´d never been I close my eyes again and think of you I hear your voice with every passing day I see my sister´s laughing face I think about the things you used to say I close my eyes again and think of you I see myself in you in all those little things you do took you in bed at night knowin´ that everything´s alright time slips away so fast sunny skies get overcast I know I can´t be there beside you I can´t be there to guide you I can´t be there to hold you now.
EXCITED
I´d sell myself to get excited. There ain´t no car I can´t get started. And if you want to be a part of it you can share my dream and get lost. There ain´t no way to stay a smart boy. If you crack up who´s gonna care, boy' What friends are for now who can tell, boy' So live it up before you drop, boy! So what'
...AND WAIT
What was meant to be what once mattered I got it shattered I waited patiently for a reason so I could stay another day one single day what I tried to flee got it on my back and it scares me I guess all the "could have beens" would not just be dreams so I need another day one single day.
FILTER
Without you nothing works. Without you days turn always black. You'll always be there for me. You make me feel there's nothing wrong. What I try to say ain't nothing new but I mean it. This one is for you a nice day thank you. You always bring my life that special lovely balance. You are the big filter of my life. Sometimes I've been full of hate, weakness, anger, frustration, sadness - the world drags me down. But you're around. You are the perfect drug. You're around. You are there and nothing sucks. Tell me: Everything's gonna be alright ...
FAKE
You know you're burned out. You've known for a long long time. Uncertainity called the virus - infects your mind. Stop it now faking things. There's no beauty none at all. You have to free your soul. Why does love always have to hurt. You cannot hide. There's someone sitting right there. You have to feel the pain but you smile ....
Beatsteaks - 48/49
UNMINDED
You think you could be one of them, you listen supposed the same shit. You think new clothes can change your life and that´s enough to be a part of it. But there is something you´ve forgot or something you´ve misunderstood. It turns around about how you think, not round how you look. You´re unminded, is it you in the mirror or someone else' You think we must respect you, respect you how you are. You foremost must respect each other, though he doesn´t think like you and if you ain´t got it yet, what it´s all about, I have one thing that I must tell you: you suck, you suck! You´re unminded, is it you in the mirror or someone else'
FRAGEN
Ich frag mich oft, wie wird es sein, mit wem bin ich zusammen, oder bin ich allein' Die Frage nach dem Sinn - hör auf damit! Die Sache ist so alt und Du kaust damit! Doch mal im Ernst überlegst Du nie, wie werd ich aussehn, werd ich´n Spießervieh' Ich glaube, Nein! - und wenn es so wäre' Dann hast Du was verpeilt in Deiner eigenen Sphäre. Fragen, die sich jeder stellt - was mach ich heut, was morgen - Fragen, um die sich alles dreht - denn wer weiß schon wie´s weiter geht. Es bringt nichts sie zu hinterfragen, denn niemand kann Dir wirklich sagen: wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf, wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf' 21 Jahre alt und schon so planlos - ja steh ich denn im Wald' Ohne Ziel ist das auch so´n Ding Mann - ja, ja ich weiß, es liegt alles bei mir Mann. Es ist trotzdem ein Scheiß Gefühl, nicht zu wissen, lohnt sich überhaupt die Müh´. Ja Alter! So ist das Leben - eben - die Ungewißheit wird es immer geben! Fragen, die sich jeder stellt - was mach ich heut, was morgen zählt' Fragen, um die sich alles dreht, denn wer weiß schon wie´s weitergeht. Es bringt nichts zu hinterfragen, denn niemand kann Dir wirklich sagen: wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf, wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf'
WHY YOU NOT
Fucking religion is a bloody trail, a promise which will fail, it´s the way of torture the way of pain, desease in your brain they say the church´s poor but she´s rich, more rich than you know for money they protect your soul, for a heaven you don´t know, why you don´t think about what you believe in' Why you do submit yourself' Why you don´t think about what you can trust' Why you undermine yourself' Why you not - destroy religion in your head & there is - a life before death! destroy religion in your head! There is - a life before death! Freedom of confidience is only a word, why it doesn´t count for all' Why they abuse the faith of the people for ignorance about it all' War - in the name of religion; wrong gods - absurd position; forbidden - to protect yourself and AIDS they say is a punishment of god! Why you don´t think about what you believe in' Why you do submit yourself' Why you don´t think about what you can trust' Why you underrnine yourself' Why you not - destroy religion in your head' There is - a life before death! Destroy religion in your head! There is - a life before death!
DIFFERENT WAYS
I can´t believe this could be the end, but we´ve spoken these empty words' I remember everything - it hurts, why do you simply walk away - who´s different now. It´s not what you said before, not what you said before! Hey what do you think now' Maybe, you say the same! Anyway - we go different ways, we have different friends in different places - and I wonder why - it´s not what you said before, not what you said before! You turn away, away from me!
48/49
Der Steffi, der spielt Schlagzeug und er führt den Taktstock. Und er ist meistens Schuld, wenn da mal der Takt stockt. Da drüben steht der Bernd, von Kopf bis Fuß jehackt. Die Klampfe is´n Nachbau, ziemlich abjefuckt. Die Macholeadgitarre, die bedient der Peter. In jedem Lied, jedet Solo verdrehta. Ma singta, ma schreita, dit is Arnim unsa Sänger, steht hier neben mir, macht´n Harten is ´n Hänger. In unsa geilen Band ham wir einen Bassplayer, der steht neben Manowar ziemlich dolle auf Slayer. Jeder einzelne is ne Null, nur zusamm sind wir komplett, sind nich die Rolling Stones, nich Kreator, nich Roxette, Wir komm aus Berlin, aus nem dunklen Kelleeer - 48/49 - ejal, wie Ihr det findet, da komm wa nu ma her!
FOOL
You always see the negative, you always say, the world is shit, you make me blind, what the fuck, did you expect' Get out of my way! Your attitude is very cool, you´re nothing but a dumpshit fool this is my life and I have no time for this, so leave me the fuck alone! Get out of my way!
SCHLECHT
Jogginghose buntgefleckt, Golds-Gym-Tshirt reingesteckt, Angst macht Dir hier keiner mehr, denn mit Hundchen bist Du wer! Eigentlich tust Du mir leid! Doch heut nehm ich mir mal für Dich Zeit! Wenn ich höre, wie du redest, wird mir schlecht! Wenn ich seh, wie Du Dich umsiehst, wird mir schlecht! Wenn ich merk wie Du mich abcheckst, wird mir schlecht - mir wird schlecht! Du bist ein Abklatsch von Dir selbst! Auch wenn Dir das jetzt nichtt gefällt! Ich weiß, Du hörst mir gar nicht zu, denn keiner ist so cool, so cool wie Du!
ME AGAINST THE WORLD
Woke up this morning, it´s the same old thing: brother against brother, it´s a normal thing, goverment´s corrupt, I see the homeless on the streets, the rich get richer, the poor going hungry, no respect for human life, no respect for mother earth and you´re still asking me, why I ´m so bitter, so bitter and angry' This is me against the world, this is me against the whole wide world. I go to bed, it´s the same old thing: brother against brother, it´s a normal thing, goverment´s corrupt, I see the homeless on the streets, the rich get richer, the poor going hungry, no respect for human life, no respect for mother earth and you´re asking me, why I´m so bitter, so bitter and angry' This is me against the world, this is me against the hole wide world.
INDIFFERENT
I see an old man on the street, without shoes and nothing to eat. I ask myself, can this happen to me, who´s the one, who cares about this treat' What a fuck is going on' Ignorance and "take it gone"! Sorrow is a normal thing, silence about suffering. Sad but true, we´re looking still around, we can´t help, cause we´re indifferent! Is it the fear, that happens the same to us, to make us blind. A little girl walking next to me, I see her little swollen face. I think, she´s talking to her mother and I hear: "Daddy´s angry in these days". What a fuck is going on' Ignorance and "take it gone"! Sorrow is a normal thing, Silence about suffering. Sad but true, we´re looking still around, we can´t help, cause we´re indifferent! Is it the fear, that happens the same to us, to make us blind - we close our eyes and it happens everyday!

YOU WALK
This room, this face, I´m alone in this goddamn place. You´re gone, I´m here, who´s moving forward, who´s feeling guilty' Where is all the love we had' Where is all the love we cared' So I´m supposed to say is simple - you walk away and I´m in this big black hole, I´m feeling helpless all the time you walk away and I´m in this big black hole, I´m feeling helpless all the time I´m broke, I´m empty, your smell is still in this room. I´m the little monster, waiting for reasons, for reasons why do you leave me here alone' Why do you leave me here alone' You walk away and I´m in this black hole, I´m feeling helpless all the time you walk away and I´m in this big black hole, I´m feeling helpless all the time.
DISILLUSION
Look around, look around, we´re all machines, destroy ourselves, there´s no one else, there´s no one else, who tell it like it is, we have no time, we have no time for stupid people with an ignorant mind. Open your eyes and realize, you have one life and live your dream! I´m afraid and sick, if I see your disillusion - I see your disillusion - I´m afraid and sick if I see your disillusion - I see your disillusion. Give yourself, yourself a chance, don´t make the biggest mistake in your life, believe in yourself, do your things and give a fuck about what the other says. Trust' Real friends, real friends, real friends, you know, what I mean' Open your eyes and realize, you have one life and live your dream! I´m afraid and sick, if I see your disillusion - I see your disillusion - I´m afraid and sick, if I see your disillusion - I see your disillusion you disgust me - disgust me - you disgust me - disgust me - you disgust me - disgust me - you disgust me!
