[wav] Armageddon in Techno-Age

music: Carel Schouten
lyrics : Carel Schouten

The orb can soon be summarized by knowledge of technology
Privacy is gonna be raped by abusing our techno-age
We're building for this future, apocalypse is getting closer
Destroying our environment has given us the power itself

The industry shits on our self-awareness
Desocialization sets on
The sky will stay grey forever
The sun will never shine

Be prepared for Armageddon!

What's the use?
What's the use of it all?
Why are we ignorant?!

Our pockets will stay filled
But our heads will then be voids
Why are we blind to the beauty of the earth?
I feel an ape, I want to be an ape in this fucking mess!

What's the use?
Of this money making machine
What's the use?
If our souls are being destroyed
Some engineers can still be satisfied
At least their technology did its job
Our brains are being squashed
As big brother is watching us

[wav] Skin Disease

music: Dennis Sibeijn
lyrics : Dennis Sibeijn

A disease is spread but it will not infect me
I rather commit suicide than being at your hand

The heritage is not to be forgiven
When you strectch your arm, I will raise my fist

Misusing the ignorant
Infecting their mionds
Telling them lies
To get them on your side

Why do you
Idolize the skin
Is there nothing inside?
Brainless Stuffed Puppet!

Who can show me the use of hate
In the spectrum of the human race

[wav] Double Standard?

music: Carel Schouten
lyrics : Carel Schouten & Dennis Sibeijn

You cannot see what's happening behind
Just run with a back that's blind!

Never you're suggested to step aside
To turn around and glare at your fate
That fate will always follow you
From the day of birth up to your final hour

Painful should be the observation
that none of your principles actually is right
Writing in your secret notebook
data of the ones you said you hated most
Mostly you try to convince me
that a first impression can't be seen as fair
Fairy tales you keep on telling
to slow down disclosure of your second skin

You always moralize and criticize
Telling everyone what to do, what to think
Is this line going further than your eyes?
I think your sight may be clearer if you blink

[wav] The Human Default

music: Carel Schouten
lyrics : Dennis Sibeijn

Being so proud of what you are
Never turn your back on your standard behaviour
A life wrapped in common dullness
Your horizon ends at your neighbour's backdoor

What are you living for?

Never trying to reach anything
Want to be the same as your so-called friends
Can't break out of your grey suppression
No one will notice, you'll never make an impression

Your future always neatly planned
Something changed - you weren't prepared
This is different - it can't be banned
Disorder came and now you're scared

Why do you hate the reflection of your mind
I'm just the mirror of your dark side
You're a prototype, the human default
And you blame me for your own fault

Fear of reality inside your head
You don't want to see, you want to be blind
Always too cowardly to fight
In your own world you hide

[wav] Media Brainwash

music: Dennis Sibeijn & Carel Schouten
lyrics : Dennis Sibeijn

Your slick talk penetrates my ears
Your ideas pumped into my brain
An emptiness inside my head
Where I once had my ideals

Lobotomy by frequent messages
Visual temptation makes us go blind
Don't believe in what they claim
Shit sold in a nice wrapper,
it's always the same

Consumer goods or bads
Lost within this Media Maze
It's us they want to catch
Their power is in our wallets

Hypnotizing us
Parasitizing your evil
The things I always hated
Hidden in the things I want to hear

Borderline II

music: Carel Schouten
lyrics : Carel Schouten

The music and lyrics of this freaky
little song will apear soon on this page.
