2. Mission Mohawk
Yes, we’re on a rampage - all sinners not saints
We`re turning up the volume
shoot anthems up your veins,
hail from the nowhere though here all the time
forged to be fighting on the front line
Won’t die out like our endangered species,
still young in our hearts and out to kick ass!
We’re leaving a mess and chaos in our wake -
Berlin rockers out on a strike...
[Chorus:]
Watch out, outta the way
Here comes Bad Company
So let’s go, start it now
Hell-o...
Watch out, hear us play
The punks are running free
Amps loud, join us now
We’re on a mission here...
MISSION MOHAWK yeah!
We`re a gang of five on a mission mohawk,
deliver your daily dose of punkrock
Billy is Scottish and Marti’s from Spain,
Andy and Stephan I know from Berlin
You can’t ignore us, we’re not giving in
While others count bills we rather drink Gin!
Ain’t out for the fame but genuineness,
no jokers in the pack but rather five aces...
Now we're back here on stage - all sinners not saints,
recruited to blow shit out of your brains
Go fuck Emo - trend is for fools
Attitude counts and Punk still rules!
Billy's a cunt and Marti’s from Spain,
Andy and Stephan I know from Berlin
You can`t ignore us, we`re around far too long
risen from the ashes of OXYMORON...
[Chorus:]
Amps on, hear us play
You’re in Bad Company
So let’s go, start the show
Hell-o...
Amps loud, it’s our way
we are Bad Company
so watch out, here we go
We’re on a mission here...
3. Born To Lose
Your way so far has been the one
of trial and tribulation
Paid dearly for the things you won
while others had the needed sum
Nothing fell into your lap,
always had to graft for it
While some chuck their dosh about
you can´t afford to stand a round...
[Chorus:]
Poor living - BORN TO LOSE
Life´s a bitch, life´s a bitch
"What´s up, let´s go to another bar?"
"With what I´ve got I won´t go far..."
That´s just a scene from every night -
we´re from the blocks that you avoid...
We´re used to grab each straw,
fight on beyond the law
As Lemmy said back then:
we´re born to lose and live to win...
4. Raise Your Voice
[Chorus:]
RAISE YOUR VOICE
or you’re gonna waste away
you’ve gotta face the facts
switch on your rusty brain
RAISE YOUR VOICE
or you’re gonna waste away
We all sat back too long,
it’s time to make a stand!
When I was younger punk was still meant as a threat
meanwhile all sorts of dickheads infiltrate
It’s more like a morass where cancer grows
The foe is right in front of our nose
- in our own rows...
We stood by and watched it for too long!
Some of the guys you hang around with don’t belong
into the movement we all try to carry on for so long
beat up your friends with their old Nazi comrades
when they’re not camouflaged at streetpunk gigs
- as your mates...
The way you act will show us where you stand
and if you square up to this lot in the end
We need to ban this grey area disgrace
or are our wits so blunted nowadays?
So let’s face the facts now...
5. Danger Zone (Part 1)
Here´s a warning for you - it´s the final one
Do not step no further, don´t dare to go on
Now it´s getting serious, there´s no time to waste
Better get out of here, it ain´t safe this place...
Foes are all around you, every minute counts
Every steps a risk - pray you won´t be found
Your instincts are cautious, it's code red for you
Better you’ve got good reasons for going through a...
[Chorus:]
DANGER ZONE - there was no sign, but you´re lost in a...
DANGER ZONE - it´s a place you´d call hell
(there´s no easy way out...)
DANGER ZONE - I hope your cause is worth fighting for
DANGER ZONE - you´re in a DANGER ZONE
In your own way you´re a soldier out there on patrol
In enemy territory - game´s on, no rules...
Courage ain´t the matter if you face your foe
In this case it´s just about getting through the...
Here´s my warning for you - you´re on shaky ground
Trust no one around or you´re going down!
Think about it twice now, hold out till the end:
any ill-considered act and you´ve had it...
6. My Life
[Chorus:]
This is my lot, this is my way
won´t follow no one´s rules but mine
I was never meant to be a saint
Leave me alone - THIS IS MY LIFE
... and not yours to live
I´m a punk since I was fifteen
I´ve been to places that you´ve never seen
Played in a band, going anywhere
And growing up always seemed so far away...
Don´t tell me now I´ve missed the race
I´d swap no big job for these days...
[Chorus:]
This is my lot, this is my way
I´m just the one I chose to be
It´s none of your business, stay away!
Leave me alone - THIS IS MY LIFE
I know well I´m no teen anymore
But still know what I am living for!
Sex and drugs, fun and Rock´n´Roll
and a cause in a rebel state of mind
Don´t tell me I´ve messed up my life
I´ll have no regrets in my grave...
Don´t tell me how my life has to be
Leave me alone, don´t mess with me...
7. Borderline
Living with a split in your identity
it´s not an easy ride...
it tortures your mind, you don´t get it straight
Outward no difference it´s hard to see
there´s something on inside
It has been alright - what's happened tonight?
Handling is tricky and all sense fails,
and instructions ain´t been made
Black hole of the science, a borderline case
Once again it happens you flip your lid
and I don´t know what I´ve done
I feel like I´m done but don´t wanna run...
[Chorus:]
What´s going on inside your brain?
You can´t rid yourself of all the strain
What makes you tick-tick-tick?
I can´t do it right - it´s the enemy inside
What´s going on, what do you see?
Is it real or a game of fantasy?
As long as we don´t cross we´re doing fine
Don´t cross the BORDERLINE!
Living with a split in your identity
that´s no easy ride...
A borderline case, a black hole for science
Once again I wander around lonely streets
to watch the city lights
and cudgel my brains alone in the night
8. Kids Of The Nation
[Chorus:]
You gotta be strong, KIDS OF THE NATION
You gotta be strong, there´s no hope for anyone
You gotta be strong, KIDS OF THE NATION
Times are hard for you...
They tell you on TV you´re prospects are bad
Won´t get a job anyway, you´ve heard what they said
The story´s repeated, you´re caught in its flow
It´s another generation with no future now
Times are hard for you...
Let´s destroy...
the rotten foundation of our whole nation
Let´s destroy...
what´s giving you nothing but your frustration
Let´s destroy...
the money-grabbing cunts´ capitalist system
Let´s unite, be strong...
When I was a kid my future seemed bleak
Because I did not intend to be neat
Just wanted to swim against the tide
My mum still says my options were bright
Today the situation is worse
You gotta resign, you gotta feel cursed
Whatever you do no one takes you on
This nation doesn´t give you a place to belong
9. Misanthropist
What´s gone wrong with our own race?
Human scum's to be replaced...
Here we stand on the brink of decline
wasting more precious time
while man still exploits and kills his kin
If I was some god and had to see this planet rot
yeah I would send my Four Horsemen in...
I really despise the human race
We´re better replaced...
[Chorus:]
What´s gone wrong with our race?
Humankind - we're a disgrace
Sometimes I doubt its right to exist
'cos I am a MISANTHROPIST
There´s no bounds for its greed, raised with hostility
- no "pride of creation" if you ask me...
What it´s caused is a mess, it´s a dangerous species
aggressive towards its habitat
Yes, I´m part of this dangerous species
but a MISANTHROPIST...
What´s gone wrong with the human race?
10. Anthem X
The majority in the western world don't care
the minority in the western world is aware
What is going on? Where's your backbone gone?
If you feel so sick of this state's affairs why not throw a brick?
[Chorus:]
I cannot see democracy nowhere
as long as the rich rule on with their purse
it's rubbing salt on rotten teeth
and they don’t give a fuck about the likes of you & me...
You complain all day about the schemes they play
If you see the links why deprave us further and not join our ranks?
[Chorus:]
I cannot see democracy nowhere
as long as the rich rule on with their purse
it's a tangle of bureaucracy...
and they don’t give a fuck about the man in the street
they don’t give a fuck about the likes of you & me...
11. Made In Germany
[Chorus:]
Heyho - watch ´em play "Searching for the enemy"
Heyho - watch ´em pray it's someone else who's gonna pay
Heyho - watch ´em play "Searching for the enemy"
Heyho - watch ´em pray, someone always used to bleed...
If times are bad - who´s blamed for it?
It´s not themselves but someone else...
A culprit´s made to excuse their plight
It's like modern stakes fueled by their own frustration
Resigning, complaining - they need one to blame him
Accusing, abusing - the scapegoat they have chosen
What the Jews used to be are the blacks, Turks or gay
Who's next to face their new rat race?
Maybe it's you, your hair's dyed blue...
Be sure they'd blame it also on me
and feel ashamed that I was made in Germany
12. Danger Zone (Part 2)
Take care - yeah here´s a warning for you
it´s the final one I told you
Do not step no further - DANGERZONE!
Don´t dare to go on, mind your trace
Take care it´s getting serious
Beware - cos it ain’t safe this place
Get out...
I don´t mean an invasion but a private mission
I don´t talk about Iraque
Everyone among us gotta fight his own wars
smaller scale but still alone...
[Chorus:]
In a DANGER ZONE...
You´re lost and gotta face it on your own
No time to waste and far from home
There was no sign, but you´re out in a DANGER ZONE
left out there, fighting on your own
Red Alert - cos foes are all around you
Every minute counts now for you
Every steps a risk here - DANGERZONE!
Game´s on - pray you´re not found out here
Trust none - you’re on shaky ground I fear
You’re done with any false move
Carry on...
Everyone among us gotta fight his own wars
I don´t talk about Vietnam
I don´t mean invasion but a private mission
smaller scale but still alone...
[Chorus:]
In a DANGER ZONE...
You´re trapped and no one´s gonna help you now
No sign has warned you where you go
You´re lost out there, you´re fighting all alone
for survival in a DANGER ZONE
13. Cocaine
One of these days again, one thought´s so dominant
I set out desperately, gotta get some in the end...
[Chorus:]
I want it bad as fuck
I love it spinning ´round my brain
It´s time for another one,
my focus is always on COCAINE
I´m not the one you know, this outer shell ain´t me
I dwell in my own prison where none can look and see
You call it an affliction, part of this "rock´n´roll"
I lead the life I want to, you got a weakness of your own
You say it´s an addiction and I´m loosing my control
I´m in a vicious circle - who´ s gonna save my soul?
[Chorus:]
I´m running out of luck
I need it - gimme some cocaine!
Yeah it´s all I want
without it living ain´t the same
I want it bad as fuck
I need it spinning ´round my brain!
I´m a puppet now,
my focus only on COCAINE
