Lyrics for: World in Turmoil, 7"

1. WORLD IN TURMOIL
(Music & lyrics: Anders)

Our world is in turmoil, but you won't give a fuck
Tell me what can you do? Tell me what will you do?

Wipe that grin off your face, this ain't irony
Unveil yourself for the darkness and face this tragedy

2. THE FINAL CONFRONTATION (SCARECROWS III)
(Music & lyrics: Anders)

This corrupt society must come to an end
The dignity of the normal man must be restored
Capitalism takes its last sigh
As the fundamental values return

On the fields - site for the battle
Dethrone the leaders, dethrone the scarecrows!
The ultimate end of bureaucracy!
No more leaders, no more scarecrows!

The promises they made, we swallowed them all
We're trapped in the dream of the perfect world
As we vanish into oblivion
We will emerge again to fight back!

On the fields - site for the battle
Dethrone the leaders, dethrone the scarecrows!
The ultimate end of bureaucracy!
No more leaders, no more scarecrows!

This is the final confrontation!
This is revenge, this is the closure!
This is the final confrontation!
This is where the scarecrows face... death!

3. THE DREAM
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

This is the end of confrontism
This is the end of capitalism

Maybe some day it'll happen, I'll await that day
But right now it seems it's how much you pay that counts

Natural harmony
World resources equally distributed

Maybe some day it'll happen, I'll await that day
But right now it seems it's how much you pay that counts

Maybe some day it'll happen, I'll await that day
But right now it seems it's productivity that counts

4. ZOMBIE SOCIETY
(Music & lyrics: Anders)

For many years he's been dead, but yet he walks the earth
As an evil incarnation spreading his decay

Where he goes the stench will follow of millions burnt to death
But his brain-dead corpse-disciples are the zombies of today

Force the beasts toward hell, let them taste the flames
Let's seal up the tomb forever and end this reign of hate

Where he's been boils now rupture, poisoning the air
We must now end this madness - the zombie society

5. SHEER HORROR
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

Do you know how many people are dying in concentration camps today?

"Stop it! I don't wanna hear! This truth, it hurts too much!
Why bother? When it's easier to forget and let them die?"

A coward - that's what you are! A disgrace for the human race!
Take action and defend their rights, or soon you'll go their way

Do you know how many people are dying in concentration camps today?

6. AWAKE
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

Lived my life in darkness, lived my life in silence
Didn't know, didn't care - I just didn't give a fuck

But now I'm listening, now I care
And you can't fool me any more - now I scream: Awake!

7. EN VÄRLD UTAN HOPP
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

Våra liv har ingen mening, våra frön ger ingen skörd
Hur många gånger har jag inte tänkt att det är lika bra att vi dör

Visa mig en människa, visa mig en lycklig själ
Visa mig en sanning som inte är svärtad

Våra barn har ingen framtid, vår säd ger inget bröd
Hur många gånger har jag inte tänkt att det är lika bra att vi dör

Säg mig hur många det är som lider på vår jord
Hur kan du känna dig hoppfull när allt som väntar är död?

8. END
(Music: Mieszko, lyrics: Anders)

End all racism - end all fascism!
End all prejudice - end all violence!

End all tensions - end all nations!
End all racism - end all fascism!

9. AS TIME GOES BY
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

Going with the flow, that is your rutine
Your seem to have lost your focus a long time ago

Who's responsible for your actions? You!

You are all responsible, but who do you blame?
You've always been throwing your shit on me, now it's time you pay

Who's responsible for your actions? You!

10. OUR REVOLUTION
(Music Anders, lyrics: Mieszko)

The storm is coming, now the flesh is weak
And it's finally time for the beast to wake

Degradation of your creation

In the final hour there will be no mistakes
The siege of power for the people to take

Annihilation of your creation
This annihilation - our revolution

11. MASQUERADE
(Music: Mieszko, lyrics: Anders)

A governmental promise is just a disguise
And a bad excuse for their real intimidations
It's just a fucking masquerade!

A restrained government is just another slave
In the red-tape society that leave us all behind
It's just a fucking masquerade!

A governmental cut-down or rationalization
Is the highest form of terrorism
It's just a fucking masquerade!

A "worker's politician" is just a cover-up
For the reasons behind the mistakes
It's just a fucking masquerade!

12. RIPPED
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

On my way to total awareness
I'm constantly trapped between the walls of confinement

Look into yourself or does it hurt too much?

Now I'm stuck with your laws and values
But it is you that's knee deep in the shit

This stagnant illusion - you're living a lie!

13. RAGE
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

As I turn of the TV-set and look into your eyes

What do I do? - Rage!
What do I feel? - Rage!

Brought into this world without a clue
Never knew what was awaiting

14. LAW AND ORDER?
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

Looking for justice, it seems I don't look in the right places
The law is a joke in this system without hope and nobody gives a fuck!

When rapists get one or two years
And snatchers are brutally abused
By the cops who just don't give a fuck
About what's right or wrong

Looking for justice, it seems I don't look in the right places
The law is a joke in this system without hope and nobody gives a fuck!

15. RISE
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

Living under the pressure for society
Consumed and constrained and never free

To get anywhere you must rise

Shut in a room where the only window is a TV-set
Never realised that...

To get anywhere you must rise

Rise against their bullshit, rise against their laws.
End your passivity and rise against society

16. KILLED BY YOUR GREED
(Music & lyrics: Mieszko)

Looking for success
Still climbing the ladder withour any progress

There's no point in trying, you'll never get anywhere!

Why do you care?
Why do you wanna have your face on the cover of the TV-guide?

There's no point in trying, you'll never get anywhere!

By total media control, your life has been directed
You reach out to touch the stars - your mind will soon be erased
