We've been done before
and now we try to forge ourselves
We've been done before
and now we try to forge ourselves
I'll be true again
But until then I fake the books
‘Cause everybody knows
This ain't heaven
Until everybody knows
We've been wrong before
There is a lot that we survived
We've been wrong before
There is a lot that we survived
I'll be true again
But until then I fake the books
‘Cause everybody knows
This ain't heaven
Until everybody knows

. . .


Fear keeps you quiet
It shuts your mouth
when you should talk
You lock the door
of your panic room
when you should talk
But while you're away
someone's taking over
Exploitation fear
Misleading you
They spend your money
on mini-nukes
So you should talk
But orange alert
lets you nod your head
When you should talk
‘Cause while you're away
someone's taking over
Exploitation fear
Misleading you
Someone's taking over

. . .


It's hot in here
It's burning outside
And all your teenage idols
have left the building
Haven't you seen the signs of the time?
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go now?
Are you the last to know
they've changed your future?
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go now?
Where do you want to go today?
It's hot in here
It's burning outside
Everybody's leaving
Say they will make it on the other side
Haven't you seen the signs of the time?
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go now?
Are you the last to know
they've changed your future?
Where do you want to go?
Where do you want to go now?
Where do you want to go today?

. . .


Big mistakes
Biggest hurt
My whole past behind glass
Great divide
Great deceit
The whole past on my mind
Remember the small things
You say: Remember the small things

. . .


It's like in a B-Movie
You always know what's coming next
Place for just one hero
Bad guys all around
But don't let Arnie be our last hope
I know, I know too well
I know, I know by heart
I know well
It's like in a B-Movie

You always know what's coming next
I am so sick and tired
of all your muscles and your sweat
Let the hero keep the house clean
I know, I know too well
I know, I know by heart
I know well

. . .

People I Know

[No lyrics]

. . .


You've been told
You've been told
Leave your dignity at home
It's time to grin and bear
You've been told they don't know
You've been told their hands are tied
We won't return
We won't return here

. . .


Wrapped in glassine paper
You should sleep before you know
The window shows the same blue
It would never do at home
Twenty-five hours instead
Twenty-five hours instead
Detroit on my mind
Strange news from outside
Twenty-five hours instead
Twenty-five hours instead
Detroit on my mind
Strange news from outside

. . .


When we turn
turn to what we've done before
The time moves on
Survive without a point of view
Slump Down
We've been let down
Equally
We've been let down
Equally

. . .


Walking into open space
Walking into open space
Do you, do you, do you know?
Is the truth you see left celluloid?
Is the truth you see left celluloid?

. . .


You'll be charged a hundred dollars
if you can't pay back the debts
Work your soul and work your lifetime
without money you can't buy

Can't you see
six feet underground?
Identify the system
Identify the system

Watch your neighbours
and their big dreams
Silent envy on your face
A life deluxe, it would be easy
What would you give to join the club

Can't you see
six feet underground?
Identify the system
Identify the system
