No Business Today
03:44

Monday morning, off to work with the coat and tie parade!
Spend your whole life waiting for the day that you get paid.
Corporate buildings forming the skylines of the world
Fiscally responsible to do what they are told.
Waking working sleeping, forty years at least.
A world where a few people have the power's got disease.
But when their minds have cleared, together they will say:
"Storm the banks, storm the buildings,
No Business Today!"
What do you do for a living? What do you do to live?
Does it exist, a cause to resist? Or is that just a myth?
Work for me, and your purpose? Get me on the stock exchange!
Wait until you´re older, ´til the machines take your place.
Chorus
Buy the things, you think you need. Money is your god.
Got the gumption for consumption because life is too short.
Don´t think too much about it. At least you get paid.
And only Sundays you will say:
“No Business Today!”
Chorus

Flight of the Oryx
05:22
|
|||
|
Grazing, watchful of the dunes.
Ready to set loose.
Burning of the sun.
Be prepared to run!
Hunter spots the antilope.
For the price he hopes.
Blinded by the sun.
Shot missed, she starts to run!
The Oryx is running through the sand
With mighty speed, impossible to catch!
The Oryx is running through the sand dunes.
The hunter is following behind
But to her he's hardly a match!
The hunter is ceasing hunt by noon.
Grazing, watchful of the dunes.
Bullet set her loose.
To escape the gun
Be prepared to run!

Father

Don`t propose more than I can take.
Don`t make me choose.
You know that I've seen the first bright daylight in years.
Content I don't intend to lose.
I can handle you
But not what we've just begun.
We've yet to get to know eachother
And I'll be a Father to a son.
What else can I do
But smiling through?
I don't want to leave anybody alone.
Especially not you.
Let me think this through.

Living For
05:26

I once knew a guy, I swear it wasn't me,
Whose outlook on life was positively bleak.
He couldn't say how others got through the day.
All these years ago, this is what he'd say:
"My body is a cage, with all its aches and its pains
Slowly rotting around my skeletal remains
And I'm trying to see a way to make sense of misery.
Maybe this is what we all have to face."
Have to face!
Ooh, but life's gotta change.
Maybe one day, surely one day!
Life, it has no purpose, which doesn't mean that it can't go on.
I'm living for the changes, the earth around the sun.
The laughter of the children, the challenges we take.
Not gonna end it here, not gonna to hit the hay!
This is what I say today!
I'm Living For the sound when the ocean hits the sand.
I'm Living For the new days which I've yet to begin.
I`m Living For the problems, no dreary days for me.
The birds out in the garden, singing in the trees!
The storm outside is raging, it's just rain against the glass.
Though I am on my own my body gets to rest.
And as I now recall this friend in need of help,
I`m safe here in my home, I`m safe here in myself!
