Night of the Nihilist

Night of the nihilist
I don’t believe in anyone
I don’t believe in anything
I don’t believe
Night of the nihilist
I don’t believe in God
And I don’t trust religion
I don’t believe authority
I don’t believe
Night of the nihilist
Hedonism
He-he-hedonism
Night of the nihilist
Blow up the tsar
and our legend lives on
Chaos chaos chaos
Chaos chaos chaos
Night of the nihilist
You can’t deny this
Literature’s a valid form of social commentary
Commentary’s a valid form of social literature
Hate with a holy hate, destroy everything
Night of the nihilist
You can’t deny this

Están matando mujeres
Están matando mujeres buenas
Están matando mujeres
Están matando mujeres malas

Human life is short
But I wish to live forever
Human life is short
But I wish to live forever
Yukio Mishima suicide
Tatenokai, tatenokai

On the border of life and death
A man’s head on a carpet
On the border of life and death
A man’s head on a carpet

Brutality, elegance, brutality
Don’t hesitate, don’t hesitate

Up the Bunker
03:30
|
|||
Trümmerberg, Schuttberg
Müllberg, Bunkerberg, Teufelsberg
Humboldthöhe, Insulaner
I’m running up the bunker
All the men are gone
All the men are dead and gone
Time to put your work clothes on
Time to earn those food rations
Destruction / reconstruction
I’m running up the bunker
Rubble rubble, toil and trouble
All the women, working doubles
Rubble rubble, toil and trouble
All the women, working doubles
Brick by brick, they use their picks
They use their hands
I’m running up the bunker
Four hundred million cubic meters of ruin
Thirty percent of buildings destroyed
I’m running up the bunker
Destruction
Destruction / reconstruction

Kirchner in the mountains
Berlin was an inspiration
Although I drank intemperately
My studio was filled with paintings
And the occasional orgy
Kirchner in the mountains
I volunteered for the military
Do something good for my country
War is a terrible muse
I’m one of its atrocities
It’s broken me
We’ve found a little house in Davos
Erna’s taking care of me
I like the hard working people
We’ll live here comfortably
Surrounded by my art
Carpets, sketches and carvings
I’m turning to the landscape now to
Paint this depression out of me
Kirchner in the mountains

Pretty Out There
03:47
|

Chasing boys in Budapest
I’m pretty out there
Buggery in Paris
I’m pretty out there
Expat in a steam bath
All I wanna do is grab some ass
Europe’s made for desperate men
I’m pretty out there
I’m pretty out there
Na na na na na na na
Selling junk in NYC - out there
Developing a taste for morphine- I’m pretty
I just got married
to a woman addicted to Benzedrine
Temporary psychoses - I’m out - lout lout
I’m pretty out there
Na na na na na na na
And I never want to be too straight
I like men men men men men
Waving a gun in Mexico
I’m pretty out there
Getting off with rancheros
I’m pretty out there
My wife, well she drinks too much
I can’t stand to touch that lush
Playing a game of William Tell
Can you tell? I’m pretty out there
I’m pretty out there
Na na na na na na na
And I never want to be too straight

Wohnstadt

Die Kinder spielen das Klavier
Die kennen mir ziemlich jut hier
Sie kieken mir und weinen
Ich trage eine Glatze
Und tolle Lederweste
Die Nachbarn sind neidisch
Wohnstadt
Ich liebe meine Wohnstadt
Ich lebe noch in der Wohnstadt
Ich sterbe in der Wohnstadt
Allet jut in der Hauptstadt
Ich hatte eine schöne Frau
Aber sie ist gestorben
Jetzt gehe ich zur Kneipe
Danach einem Paar Würstchen
Voll quatschen mit dem Gärtner
Dann trinken wir schnapps von Greifswald
Wohnstadt
Ich liebe meine Wohnstadt
Ich lebe noch in der Wohnstadt
Ich sterbe in der Wohnstadt
Allet jut in der Hauptstadt
Hallo hübsches Mädchen,
Du siehst ja toll aus!
Hast du lust ein Cocktail mit mir zu trinken?
Oder ein Bier?
Oder darf ich dich auf eine Currywurst einladen?
Oder eine Rhabarber Limonade?
Oder ein Mate Eistee?
Ach, nehms mir nicht übel,
Aber eigentlich passt mir doch nicht
Ich liebe meine Wohnstadt
Ich lebe noch in der Wohnstadt
Ich sterbe in der Wohnstadt
Allet jut in der Hauptstadt

Raskolnikov
02:35
|
|||
Woke up this morning, axe up my sleeve
Demons are calling my name
Cheaters and addicts, alcohol fiends
Mendicants jangle away
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Cursing the wind, damning the sky
Feel just like Raskolnikov
Stuck on a corner, 7AM
Everyone’s still drinking booze
Builders and killers, subhuman scum
Me, I’m a blubbering fool
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
Cursing the wind, damning the sky
Feel just like Raskolnikov
City’s a black hole, it crushes you quick
City’s a black hole, it’s making me sick
Feel just like Raskolnikov

Something Wicked
03:55
|
|||
Isadora’s drunk again
I see her holding court in the bar
Portlier than she used to be
Still I marvel at her body
I got a terrible feeling
Something wicked this way comes
My husband, my true one
He’s an overeager fool
Sat before the Greek goddess
I wish he’d wipe up that drool
It’s not fair, the way she
Runs her fingers through his hair
It’s not fair, the way she
Talks to him without a care
I got a terrible feeling
Something wicked this way comes
Many times I’ve thought of dancing
To cut a figure at the Ballet Russe
I could prance around for hours
But I’ve been told that it’s no use
So I stare at Isadora Duncan
And my good-for-nothing husband
In this restaurant of two-timing double crossers
The world is naught
But two-timing double crossers
Down, down, down,
I throw myself down
Something wicked this way comes
I got a terrible feeling

No one cared about Pierre
Till he became a millionaire
He tied policeman to a bear
Now everybody loves him
We want you
No one cared about Pierre
Till he became a millionaire
He tied policeman to a bear
Now everybody loves him
We want you
No one cared about Pierre
Till he became a millionaire
He tied policeman to a bear
Now everybody loves him
Now everybody loves him
We want you

I’m on the Planet Tyskie gettin’ loose
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
I’m on the Planet Tyskie gettin’ loose
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
There’s no one here, no signs of life
I better grab another beer before I die
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
having a real good time
I’m on the Planet Tyskie gettin’ wild
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
I’m on the Planet Tyskie gettin’ wild
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
I don’t want to see anyone
I’m like a lizard in the sun
I think I’m gonna stay here for a while
I’m on the Planet Tyskie gettin’ loose
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
I’m on the Planet Tyskie gettin’ loose
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
There’s no one here, no signs of life
I better grab another beer before I die
I’m on the Planet Tyskie
having a real good time
Before I die
While I’m still alive
