lyrics

I was a fat dirty old punk
keeping my angryness in a bunk,
or raging or gettin' drunk :
high values are so full of junk
- hidden in the backyard
they consumed me so hard.
It ain't about the money, it ain't about the fame,
a black flag stands over the rules of a twisted game.
No god will gently come to end your misery,
to blame you are the one for your own slavery...
I won't yell,
hear this peacefull riddim.
To the gates of hell
I will probably bear this dream.
Everywhere it is the same :
"work, fatherland, family"
- these words empty and vain
that shall never vary ;
everywhere they restrain our forces with luxury,
comfort and obtain we chop of life the tree.
Hm, I am dead - and if not have no life
for a small piece of bread or a meaningless strife.
I will not yell,
hear this peacefull riddim,
to the gates of hell
I will probably bear this dream.
It ain't about the money, it ain't about the fame :
a black flag stands over the rules of a twisted game.
Load your finest horn,
grab a shovel, dig their tombs,
raise poultry, grow corn
'cos these are the real bombs.
It ain't about the money, it ain't about the fame :
a black flag stands over the rules of a twisted game.
