The Primal Scream

 

I should thank you for everything you did to me,
’cause you are the one that made me see.
You showed me the reason we do what we do,
you taught me the meaning of who is who.

 

You trained me to be hard and also unfair,
you told me my business is the only thing to care.
You showed me to get mine and have no regrets,
to check out my chances and always be all set.

You say
some of us win, and some of us loose,
some of us stand still und some of us use,
some of us fight and those are the heroes,
some of us submit and these are the zeroes.

 

You say I must choose between the heroes and the zeroes.

You formed me and built a new person out of me,
an inconsiderate ego I’ve never wanted to be.
You fed my basic instincts and hate,
opened my door of immorality to a wide open gate.

 

You gave me everything I ever wanted to have,
just to take it back with a sadistic laugh.
While I was drifting into your flow,
I woke up and found myself sinking so low.

 

You say
some of us win, and some of us loose,
some of us stand still und some of us use,
some of us fight and those are the heroes,
some of us submit and these are the zeroes.

 

You say I must choose between the heroes and the zeroes.

So now you are asking for my primal scream,
you want to hear what my subconscious mean.
You want me to hold on and than try my best,
to shout out the heavy weight on my chest.

 

Now watch me, look here, I’m closing my eyes,
I’ll free my mind from all the ballast and lies.
I’m breathing, I’m breathing, I feel it coming – this shout,
it’s gonna be hatefully, monumental and loud.

 

So listen now, listen, you don’t have a clue,
my primal scream – it means – FUCK YOU!

I say
some of us win, and some of us loose,
some of us abuse, and some of us choose,
some of us break free and those are the heroes,
some of us loose faith and these are the zeroes.

 

You see, I learned the difference between the heroes and the zeroes.
