the belly howls and it’s good to see
a drive-in restaurant before me
I need some slimy burgers and frites
beer and strong coffee for my following trip

I’m a trucker drivin’ down the A 17
nothing around just the countryside and me

back on the road I don’t believe what I see
a shit fucking policeman ist tryin’ to stop me
this son of a bitch wants to check my load
I want to go on and give him a dollar-note

I’m a trucker drivin’ down the A 17
nothing around just the countryside and me

after some miles not thinking about something special
I see a pretty young girl looking for a ride
she’s got hot legs and so I decide to take her with me
dream woman ist sitting near me but I’m still on the A 17

I’m a pretty nice boy and I come from the freak valley
I’m a pretty nice boy and I play in our company
I’d like to sing you a song
about my way of movin’ on
‘cause I’m a pretty nice boy and I like my company

now I’m a pretty nice young man and I like to meet pretty women
I’m a pretty young man and I like to drive my car
I like the quick life and it’s parties
I like the rockers and their shanties
and as a pretty young man I don’t like to think so far

Now I’m a pretty old guy and I still come from the freak valley
and as a pretty old guy I also come from the world
I saw them folks getting cold
but I say it’s well worth growin’ old
‘cause there were many things to enjoy
since I was a pretty boy
and I don’t just like looking behind
and that makes me still very kind
‘cause as a pretty old guy I kept my pretty nice boy in mind

sun
fun
for both and more I run
but there’s the kids to squeal
emptyness I feel

a show
to go
a band you’ll never know
stays frozen to the bone
alone

you smile
for a while
alone on your isle
each hot-shot does the same
waiting for a flame

out
I shout
get off this roundabout
why do they need
this mask I ask

a hand
of a friend
a love that’ll never end
nothing to be seen
I’m on the wrong side of the screen

night
no sight
don’t you see the light
there’s nothing left to hide
so fight

Breathing the air of liberty
I think how it was for them
to fight the powerful enemy
to defend what meant everything for them

Goin’n back in time
imagin’ it was me
who stand tall and brave
to fight the enemy

An suddenly the wind begins to blow stronger
Before my eyes they stand all again
like in a movie they start to fight blood on blood
keeping their sword held up high
all the brave men want is glory

Goin’n back in time
imagin’ it was me
who stand tall and brave
to fight the enemy

Goin’n back in time
imagin’ how it was
to defend the country
which you love

Today, lot’s of people hang around
waisting their time - aimless
wake up, find out what’s important for you
work it out, go for that, go for that

eat
while you can
your dough
and then
you dream
your dream
nobody’ll change the scene

hello how is your face
hello I admire your grace
hello isn’t it true
hello how do you do

workin’ an a railroad
hammer in my hand
workin’ an a railroad
endless iron through the land
gonna get my money
every day
gotta give it to my honey
when it’s time to pay

sleepin’ on a parkbench
covered with the daily news
sleepin’ on a parkbench
singin’ the daily blues
gotta get my money
every night
gotta buy my bottle
to hold me tight

goin’ to a playground
to watch the childerns game
goin’ to a playground
to see I feel the same
hear their happy parents
chattering so cool
hear them saying to the childern
ignore him he’s a fool

eatin’ their meat
lickin’ their blood
sometimes I try to forget

destroyin’ their mind
‘til they get insane
we all get insane

I didn’t wanna but although it hurts
to see the creeping loafs
dying bodies all around

I said warden, warden, warden
won’t you break your lock and key
now come along here mister
and let the poor boy be

let the poor boy ...

sometimes I feel as if I were free - but it’s just the look of the ones who are
sometimes I feel as if I were happy - but it’s nothing but the momentary fact that
I’m not sad
and sometimes - yeah sometimes I feel as if I were dead

She was a real good woman, she never done me no harm
Was a real good woman, never done me no harm
I loved another woman, now she’s up and she’s gone

Well come back baby, I won’t do you no wrong
Come back baby, I won’t do you no wrong
I loved another woman but I won’t do that no more

you come in
people rush around
and the neonlights
strangle the vains of your
fantasy
is just used
to choose if you should take
the nicer the bigger the best or the cheapest

buy bye world
it’s never as cheap as today
buy bye world
you’ll never be reaped like today

departement store
you place of false smilings
you birthplace of gossip
you’re the top of
civilisation
you’re all we need
to knock our feelings down
but some check-out-chicken will help you out again

buy bye world
it’s never as cheap as today
buy bye world
you’ll never be reaped like today

you come out
your bag filled with dog bisquits
you antie your child
an you open the car
you had a stress
you bought things you don’t need
but you’re sure you economised your time
and the you come home an you turn your new radio on

"hello, here’s Wendy from the new
nailshop in dullness west road
I just say care for your nails
with a season ticket for one treatment
a day you save 15 %
just pop in an thank you for your visit"

"what a bullshit"

"oh darling don’t be so rude
just take a look at my nails
they’re so ugly und I’m such a unmodern person
you also would be happier having a nice wife, wouldn’t you"

"ok, that’s an argument
you’ve convinced me
think I’m gonna buy you a
season ticket for your birthday alright"

"oh darling
you’re such a cute guy
I love you so much
hi hi hi hi ..."

buy bye world
it’s never as cheap as today
buy bye world
you’ll never be reaped like today
