Write it - Ignite it!
Charged with the crime of speaking your mind
You better shut up - or we'll lock you up
It is time to define we got the right to incite
Call out! Call out! Call out! Call out!
We gotta write it - ignite it
Burn the prosecution
and the ministry of justice!
We gotta light it and fight it
Burn down the profits
of the prisons, institutions!
Charged with the crime of speaking your mind
It is time now to fight - Not to listen to the lies
They make ya do time for a thought crime
Only one solution is to call out revolution!
One solution: Revolution!
Charged with the crime of speaking your mind
Down with the nations - Stop deportations!
It is time to define we got the right to incite
Call out! Call out! Call out! Call out!
We gotta write it - ignite it
Burn the prosecution
and the ministry of justice!
We gotta light it and fight it
Burn down the profits
of the prisons, institutions!
Charged with the crime of speaking your mind
Down with the borders - Fuck law and order!
They make ya do time for a thought crime
Only one solution is to call out revolution!

Beat the borders!
Who is telling us where to go and
where to stay and who says NO to
questions asked, permits applied for?
Who declared the immigrants war?
Who is standing in our way and
who is law and who is paid for
stamps to give, entrance denied to
those that tried to make it up here?
Who makes money and has a say in
who gets locked up, has to pay
for being here or being there and
either way nowhere is safe, - Let's..
Take no orders
Let's beat the borders
Let's cross the lines
Let's ignore the signs
Who's responsible, who is rich and
who is pulling strings, and which
politicians do not lie or cry them
crocodile tears when you die?
All they ever do is take, turning
people into slaves, turning slavery
into profit, turning profit into property
into poverty for you and for me!
There is no reason to obey, living
lives that lead to the grave
Let's be standing in the way,
make a difference, start today, - Let's
Take no orders
Let's beat the borders
Let's cross the lines
Let's ignore the signs

Collateral Damage
This war, it isn't safe for our soldiers
Assassins crawling all over the place
It's not even safe for our armored trucks
We keep sending the bodies back home
Bags with bones and flesh and blood
To be the heroes we need to create
It is part of our duty, the price that we pay
And the whole world is paying attention
as mothers and children cry, flags raised
As we pray for our martyrs, their honor
The just cause we pretend it to be,
this war to be played out inevitably
All so far away from our homes
claiming just another bare necessity
or mercy, peace, international ease
We can't tell you that it is propaganda
but the truth of politics, it belongs to us
No interests, no secret agenda, say hush-
We're only in it for the oil
We're only in it for the soil
We're in it for power, you know
Human rights? My ass! No show
To hell with them refugees
To hell with them deportees
To hell with these so called liberties
It 's only collateral damage, you see
as another childs dream is blown to smithereens!

Why still ask why
'Why' is the outcry to be heard from the inside
Yet another persons existence denied
'Why' is the outcry once and again
from yet another cell, who wants to understand?
'Why' is the question to be heard from the streets
again from more people that nobody greets
'Why' is the question today and tomorrow
from voices that rise to take no more sorrow
Why do we have to run and to hide?
'Why' gets no answer, not one single word
'Why' is a prison that deprives us of pride
Ask no longer why, it will not be heard
'Why' is to expect that someone will explain
that there is an honest reason and nothing is in vain
'Why' is to expect that there is fairness to it all
That somehow it is justice you stand behind that wall
'Why' is to place trust in the answer to be truthful
If ever it is given, it's to deceive, it's not useful
'Why' is to place trust in those on top and in power
that again keep you waiting, hour after hour
Why, if one's disposable, a fugitive, nameless?
Why, if one is guilty just by being around?
Why then not fight when stateless and faceless?
If ever there's a 'why' to be answered with a sound
..it is this one
Why take the hate, take the blame another day?
Why shake the hands of those that won't be your friends?
There's no reason why, but the fear that made you play
the game you will lose, that's how it always ends
Why still ask why while time passes by?
Why still ask why while in the meantime you die?
Why still ask why while you know you don't matter?
Why, ask yourself, things don't get any better?
Because of the waiting, my friend,
for the question to never be answered

Blue latex gloves
Blue latex gloves
They came turning my home
into a crime scene
Searching and investigating
my socks and my underwear,
the bed that we share
Blue latex gloves
going through my life,
my night and my day
Blue hands touching everything
All the letters I wrote,
postcards I received
Blue latex gloves
turning upside down the world
that used to be my place
Blue penetration in the name
of the law sniffing
bags, closets and books
Blue latex gloves
stealing and taking 'cause
they 'got the right to do so',
and nothing is mine no more,
my holiday pictures,
my intimate secrets
Blue latex fingers
feeling and interfering,
poking and photographing
An invasion, a dirty and dangerous
pest infestation came creeping in
wearing blue latex gloves!
These blue latex gloves,
they came to my door,
said 'we got a warrant',
them blue latex bastards!
They came busting in with
their cuffs and commands,
them blue latex gloves!
Every corner they slithered
Every picture they touched
Every drawer they peeked into
All of it contaminated
They never really went away
them blue latex gloves!
Turning my words into
evidence and all that I wrote
into crime, my pen and paper,
computer, keyboard and screen
Weapons to be confiscated
Soon them blue latex gloves
will come digging for more
They'll strip all of us naked,
our flesh and our minds, 'cause
we are suspects to be analyzed
It is justice, and it's wearing blue latex gloves
