This Is for You

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

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

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
