Pretentious Assholes

This is for the kids Ain't no fucking piece of art But that's what Hardcore has become Cause the energy seems gone Listen up It's for you This is for you Narcissistic idealists Play artificial tunes The youth looks for kicks somewhere else In here there's little room Selfimportant smart-alecks Praise themselves into the skies Badmouth anything that's wild Spread rumours, gossip, lies What a bore But this is for the kids And for those who like it rough For you here's our energy The others can get lost

What I hate most about your left-wing stand About you who never had dirt on your hands You live in empty phrases and dead words Listening to you makes me sick and it hurts Saw people like you come and go Your name is average Nothing's uncommon about you You ride this kind of attitude like some wave And you're ready to jump off any day Then you'll leave all your ideals behind Rejoin the upper class, kids of the sorted kind Never learned the rules of the game called life You don't know the struggle You don't know the strife Do I have to take a stand? Do I have to reach my hand? I don't need no attitude And I don't think that I should I don't care a bit I don't give no shit You are flogging some dead horse You try to keep it alive by force No This is my answer And please Leave us alone My heart beats for the forgotten suburban youth Life doesn't give them any chance to party and study like we do For a small place in the sun they have learned to fight And if they kick in your face judge them wrong or right You think of yourself that you're working class But if creatures like you occupy this once noble stance They must lose their pride in being a working man And if they kick in your face judge them wrong or right

Hollow Pride 01:39
Sometimes I think the Middle Ages are still around With so many people knowing what "good" or "bad" is all about My parents often bored me with their helpfully meant advices And so do those annoying bands with all their wrongs and rights Some claim to know their truth from the streets A yuppie gets his from his office seat Two different lifestyles, two different sights But what they share is they're both black and white Truth and lie Wrong and right Quite often just phrases Of some hollow pride I don't care that you're so tough I don't care your life's that rough Seems you've swallowed "the truth" as a whole You just don't tell me you know it all

No Comment 00:37
Crawl on, little worm Sharp claws and you'll get torn Try to crawl now Useless worm Call us arrogant Call us names Call us what you want We really are impressed Ass-crawling HC is not quite my priority Sacred egoists show nauseating traits I won't even waste my spit on you But don't take that for sure Papa will feed you on Now give us some more wisdom, son

Questions 01:35
If our children ask us once When these events will long be gone Father did you cry? Didn't something die inside? Were you to blind to see? Did you still enjoy your meals? Did you have enough to eat While innocents suffered under siege? Father did you sleep at night? Did you at least cry? What are we going to say If they ask us about these days? What am I going to say? How will I hide my shame? Will I break out in tears? All these questions I do fear
