01    Dead End Generation
It's the same old game, but you can't keep up.
You mouth is gonna cry, but they wanna keep it shut.
What do you expect in this break down age?
Spit out mate and give vent to your rage.

The course you're trying is a vacant lot.
One day soon you'll end up with a shot.
As a member of the dead-end youth.
You're sick of the games they're gonna play on you.

[Chorus:]
Dead end generation - oh wake up.
You're just another faction - oh wake up.
Dead end generation - oh wake up.
Sick of the situation - oh wake up.

The scene is set for a marching up.
There's no way back and forward is a concrete gap.
You won't get out if you smash your head against the wall.
So stand your ground and you aint gonna fall.

Don't let them kick in your head, or grind you down.
Spit out, give vent to your rage, and trust nobody.

02    Black Cats
Shadowlike they haunt me at night
Horrible dreams to grab my sleep
Whatever I do, wherever I go
They're always near beside

If these turn up there ain't no joy
All I can's detroy
If these turn up there ain't no joy
Nothing works to scare 'em away

[Chorus:]
Black cats, black cats
Always scary, how do I lose em'
Black cats,black cats
An evil omen - Black cats

Stumbling through the streets at night
I was overcome again by this bothersome plague
It didn't come off it's over now
This was the final show
If these turn up there ain't no joy
All I can's detroy
If these turn up there ain't no joy
Nothing works to scare 'em away

03    Bondage
There's a jock living in my head
The fault is you - I'm embarressed left for dead
Feel like a heeler, I lie down put in chains
I was to start but you got it in my way

[Chorus:]
'cause I don't need you
I'm living on a cruel dope

There is a jock living in my head
I can't get rid off ot and it drives me mad
It all began when I first saw your face
I couldn't restrain and bondage was the price
The whole affair turns into a suicide squad
Obscenity attracts me, extremely odd
As slave you can't decide what's wrong or right
The lacc whips on - Pervert for a day

Anti Bondage, Anti Bondage

04    Beware, Poisonous!
A glaring plague warned of peril.
The city's lying in exhalation.
All people killed by dioxine.
Radioactive contamination, poisonous crap wherever you glance.
You can't afford to be affected, poisonous crap inside of their heads.
Drives 'em into fucked up actions.

[Chorus:]
Poison all yourselves you body.
Beware, beware, there's poison in the air.
Beware, beware, it's gonna be a state affair.
Beware, beware, there's poison everywhere.
Beware, beware, beware, poisonous outside.

A punky band is prodding uproar.
Beware of their poisonous slogans.
They spill their hatred, just look out there.
The youth gets spoiled by vandalism.
Every page another lie.
It's propaganda and deception.
To poison- poison-poison your brain.
And let them keep on pulling the strings.

05    Anti
There's too much pressure braking down on me
But I'm fed up, full of disdain
Law and Order - just an empty phrase
I'm antisocial cause I have it my own way

No survival if you ignore their dictates
I've got no idol and my god is me
All this mess-up has blown my fuse
So call me a rebell or a living abuse

[chorus:]
I'm Anti - fashion
Anti - religion
Anti - police
And Anti - system
Anti - commercial
Anti - prison
Anti - everything

06    Idols Are Out
You're posy styled to impress somebody
You're out for fame and loads of money
But selling out is nothing new
You've hit the charts with a boring tune

[chorus:]
Idols are out today
They pose a single night

A polished heap and birds so pretty
You sold your soul but you deserve no pity
You'll climb the steps if you're of use
If not you're dropped like all the others

I won't sign with their major companies
Enslaved to contracts, what a piss
I won't beg them on my knees
For we still play mohican melodies

07    Crisis Identity
you know my mind is twisted i'm struggling for control
a discrepant identity but fused into a whole
an hour one half takes hold of me the other it is gone
and suddenly i'm turning crazed i'm an incalculable man

wrong or right?
black or white?
[Chorus:]
you see..
i lost my identity
i'm getting schizophrenic
i lost my identity

two voices ride me over but both are part of me
i dance in daydreams on the verge of my insanity
inside i'm getting nervous around me i cast a glance
and have to watch my limbs behave as the dominant one wants

strong or weak?
sane or sick?

my changeable behavior withdraws from my control
a discrepant identity but fused into a whole
i'm running round in circles i'm trapped within my mind
each time it rises in my gut i try to oppress it but i can't

08    F.O.E.
a brick stone wall blocks up your escape
can't hide or run away
a shiver running down your neck
reminds you of your fright
he's behind you, he's the foe and you don't know his face
despite these years among us
he's been living in disguise

[Chorus:]
the foe - the foe is hunting after you
the foe - and time is running out for you

spider lines are set on you,
your tongue is getting dry
the sound of footsteps getting close,
you collapse on the pave in the end he tracked you down,
he's been lying in wait not sure if he's inside your head
you're waiting for the strike

09    Big Brother
he's the ghost behind the scenes
a nightmare born by modern times
different faces, various places
you're never really sure if he's around
he's so insidious
watch your steps
wings familiar though surreal
he's made of ice they're made of steel
the brave new world you warned us of
turned out to be right in front of our doors
stomping boots
watch out droogs

[Chorus:]
watch out what you do our big brother keeps you in view
watch out what you do our big brother keeps his eyes on you
the terrorists are sharpened up
ike lurid visions in the dark
they're marauding, raping, running wild
while watchful eyes observe the file
they're so insidious
watch out droogs

10    Skunk
Join the ranks and gang up rather
That's the only way it works
Cos there's no need for struggle
We've got to overcome discords
Just spare some time to think about
What their politics have done
They've torn the youth to pieces
And there will soon be none

[chorus:]
Skins, Punks and all you scum
There's a commom aim ahead
Stand proud, together and strong
Fight their rules, not your mates
(Joint you're unruly troops)

Join the ranks and gang up rather
That's the only way it works
If you want to be unruly,
Have a say and get a chance
Stick your bloody banners red or blue
All up where they belong
If you cling to their solutions
Then everything goes wrong

11    Borstal
Now you're in a jam, hold your head between your hands.
Clench your fist to keep your ground,
in a war that can't be won.

[Chorus:]
Banned to the borstal, now you're cornered.
Banned to the borstal, you're disordered.
Banned to the borstal, now you're locked away... like buried.

Cry, you have no choice.
Punishment at any price.
You submit to what the wankers say,
just to live another day.

[Chorus:]
Open you're eyes and you'll see.
You're just a toy of their schemes.
Open your eyes and you'll see.
They try to prevent that you're free.

Now they let you down, and you feel you're all alone.
Just the dreams of yesterday, help you stand another day.

12    Faces From Below
The higher the peak, the deeper the fall
His ambition has prooved not being worth it at all
But damage is done and there is no return
And he's consumed with the fires that burn
The weaker the will, the stronger the vice
Addiction has come and charged a price
He's pershing slowly, dying on rates
Fell victim to what he actually hates

[chorus:]
Hey man - these are the faces that you refuse to see
But they're below the surface of society

The tamer the mind, the heavier the blows
A final offence has blown his fuse
So he went off his head and murdered them all
The faces of those he killed haunt his soul
The slower the trot, the faster the life
He left all behind, is made a depraved
Outside of the rules he chose to belong
But once down below you'll never get on

The more you've tried, all the less you've achived
You fear he end but the pain is brief
the easy way out you finally choose
Another face to Join the rows
...Another face that nobody knows

13    Weirdoz
A bunch of thugs' approaching
You're molested for no reason
With faces looking angry
You're beaten till submission
[Chorus:]
You're kicked in the head
You're better off fucking dead
Oh - endless trouble
They ain't gonna rest until the job is done
Six to one truly tough, you scum

Weirdoz Go Home
that is all you hear them shout
Weirdoz Go Home
you can hear them jeer aloud

Finally it's all over
Smeared with blood in the mirror
You've been out for pleasure
But they were out for terror (and that was bad luck)

We'll come back, wait and see
Rest assured you'll be screwed one day
We'll corne back, ready and mean
And we'll stomp on your face

14    Hey You
There's boiling masses on the dole.
The same came off some years ago.
What a prospect for my country.
So give up and hope and let us be.

Join the queue, you know the rest...
I'm fed up with this want something else.
Give the finger to this country.
And listen well to what I say.

[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, I wanna have some fun.
Hey, hey, cause I've been bored too long.
Hey, hey, I'm gonna feel so great.
When I'm skint and out tonight.

Pretty worn out, waiting for the bus.
That's departing straight down to the pubs.
But I'm out of place where I stay.
Nowhere to go 'cause I'm skint.
