lyrics

Don’t say fuck
Don’t say no
Keep your mouth shut!
„Yes! I do! Cause they’ve told me so!“

Reputation
Something we protect like a newborn, why not take care of your little child inside your mind?
Your heart would be so thankful

Keep happiness and strength
Let the heart beat to the rhythm of the nature and not to the noise of the clock
Your thoughts are lead in circles like the circle of the clock
Follow the leader, follow the king
Rotating around the same numbers nonstop
The pendulum swings, the clock goes tick tock
My head hurts from this noise and it won't stop

Contenance!
Role expectation to keep the crown
Twist and bow, the princess is in town
crease and Straight part in the hair define the joy in life
constrained manners, splendid etiquette are worth to survive
700 eyes watching out in the boondocks
watch every step you take and see all the mistakes you make (and) keep track of your way

false steps, one by one
chivvy of aberration
don’t let the princess rest in failure
history is almost written

all our ways are determined depending on our background
where is the chance to leave behind the burned ground

Rules are for losers, for the once who lost their brain

Dreams are seminal
Love spends power of endurance
Who cares about the others
Words sharp as knives
Words which confines your life

Educated to statistically ideal
Nobody cares about how you feel
And your pronounced dreams aren’t real
Just talking in foreign tongues, that’s the deal
But everything seems so fucking wrong
Take things lying down instead of screams and stomps
Swallow feelings cause they are deplored as inadequate
I am the defiant princess and I quit the rate!

Expectation
Princess of the kingdom of slavery
in a world where everyone is born the a grave
Just numbers in a system
expect you are the system itself

Charge the battery
Need the energy
To stand the way
Centuries, all the same
Just think and speak with your heart and your eyes
So innocent like the eyes of a child
Dismount time in office? go wild!
Freedom is not working for money which you can just owe in chains
No silent suffering- time for defiance!
Rules are for losers, for the ones who lost their brain

No silent suffering- time for defiance!
