What should I do when my heart beats for one, And my conscience for another? What should I do? What do I do? When I can't decide what's the right thing right? What's the right way, which is the bright side? What should I do? What do I do? I have to do it, But I don't care too much, I am supposed to do it, But I don't really want to. All I want is to be free, Just let the chips fall where they may, I want to let it go, And just see what happens if I do it my way? How do I pass the dilemma? How do I figure a practical arrangement? Is this the price of freedom? Is this the consequence of not playing by the rules? What should I do now? And what do I do? Are we ever truly free? Maybe not... Probably not! (All I want is) All I want is to be free, Just let the chips fall where they may, I want to let it go, And just see what happens if I do it my way? Freedom? Freedom.

Green Wave 03:39
I keep shouting no, no, no! Where am I going? Green wave is carrying me, But where is it taking me? There was a time when I only saw red, There was a lot of wrong words said, But now I think I was just awful wrong man, Now I think it all went bad. Oh, green wave! Take me out of here! This is my last chance, I’m drowning here. I keep shouting no, no, no! (There’s no time anymore) Where am I going? Green wave is carrying me! (Take me away from here) I want to see what’s up over the fence! Please, green wave, I gotta go out, I can’t stand this anymore, There is no time anymore, I’m drowning here!

Happy Sad 02:38
I was just about, To tell you what I felt, But I was too late, You are with someone else. So, I waited for a while, Hoping that it might fade, But I knew too well, And I hated the fu*king thought: That you could be, With someone else, And I would still, Be happy for you. Now, few months have passed, But nothing has changed the fact, Embracing the darkness won't Help me to be happy! So, I smiled at the stars, Shining above us, I drank another beer, And shouted it LOUD: How could be, (How does it feel) How could it be, (Does it feel) I’ll just let it go, (Does it feel) And ease the pain.

Mesec i San 03:50
Posmatrao je Mesec iz kreveta, uzaludno tražio smisao. Problem je bio nerešiv, ali to nije mogao da zna. Mesec je odjednom progovorio: - Prihvati ko si i bićes slobodan. Tada se nebo obrušilo nad jastukom. Svetlost dana ubila je noć, i slika Meseca bledi. Sunčevi zraci pokazuju moć, i budan konačno vidi. Sve je bilo dovoljno jasno, propustio je svoju šansu. Zamislio je život drugačije, ali to nije mogao da zna. On ne zna zašto, on i ne želi da zna, muči ga samo koliko vredi povratak sna. Svetlost dana ubila je noć, i slika Meseca bledi, Sunčevi zraci pokazuju moć, i budan konačno vidi. On ne zna zašto i ne želi da zna, muči ga samo kako da sačeka, da prođe i ovaj dan, i ponovo utone u zagrljaj, Meseca i sna.

I’m on the road again, And I never thought it would come to this again, By my right shoulder, There’s my little boy looking at me. We’ve packed our whole lives, In just one small leather suitcase, “Where are we going daddy?” I don’t want to leave, I beg you please! It’s morning, Rain keeps on falling, My boy keeps moaning, Will we await new dawn? Oh, please, please my son, Don’t you cry now, There will be peace once, Once we cross the line, Over these sharp wires, There are our new lives, Over these green valleys, I can see our sun. I’m on the road again, And I never thought it would come to this again, By my left shoulder, Broken heart and dusty motorways, What was the promise made? The broken vows guarding our borders. All things don’t matter now, I can feel the breeze of cold waters. It’s evening, And our boat keeps leaning, My boy starts screaming, Will we see new dawn? Oh please, please my son, Don’t you cry now, There will be peace once, Once we cross the line, Over these cruel waves, There are our new lives, Over the blue horizon, I can see our sun.

Outcast 02:58
Who are you? Do you ever ask yourself? And what if I say to you That you don't really know? Close your eyes now, Look inside, and tell me, Do you see the real picture? Does it truly matter? Do you know, does this sick game ever stop? It became like talking to a wall, No, I really can't wait anymore Close your eyes now, look inside and tell me, do you ever ask yourself, do we ever ask ourselves? How long? How fu*king long? For how long I'll chose to stay, an outcast to my soul, For how long I'll chose to stay, blind to my eyes? For how long you'll keep the act, trying to prove me a fool? For how long you'll keep loyal to your lies?

Silhouettes 03:21
I’d rather die, I’d rather fade away, And be like all the others, Crying in a waiting line. I’d rather die, I’d rather see me down, And with my mud face, Shout until they run me down! I’d rather not see you, Leaders in suits, All you bloody traitors, You should all die in hell, You bastards! You better not die, You better find your way! Don’t be like all the others, Crying in the waiting line! Man, you better cheer up now! You better face your fears! Cause all those voiceless masses, They should all hear your voice, In echoes! I’ve been thinking about tomorrow, What should we do? And how do we fight the dark, When nobody believes in light? I’ve been thinking how do we stay true to ourselves, How do we know right from wrong? The silhouettes, walking shadows are heading towards me in a dark tunnel, taking away my happiness. I am growing up and becoming cynical and angry. I'm annoyed. Who are these voiceless shadows around me? And what do they want from me? You’ve been thinking about tomorrow, But you don’t know today! How could you be loved, When you don’t believe in hope? You’ve been thinking how do you stay true to yourself, Well, why don’t you start from here? Oh, the child is fighting an old man, Oh, the tree is fighting the grass, Oh, the Sun is fighting the Earth, But all don't understand they are of the same creation. The child is an old man, The tree is grass, The Sun is Earth, An artist is a creator. If there was a world, Where one was just one, Oh, how miserable would it be, Only as the last piece of smoke after the great fire could be seen. Oh, the fight is eternal, Like the animal in me is infernal, I don't have the courage to accept, That I’m powerless against myself. The fire, the grass and the Sun is eating me, Desperate I am, sealed in the laws, That none has ever seen. Confusion, confusion, fusion of comfort, Alone, Solitary, Silhouettes can be seen, The shadows, The graves, The clock, Tick. The red hand is waging, Tock. Where am I, Where is the boy, Where is the grass, Where is the world? And I’d rather die, I’d rather fade away.

Spite 03:43
You’ve dragged me into a corner, I'm occupied. But I will get out, hands untied. To prove you wrong, I’m going to make it, And then will you be satisfied?! Brake me one hundred times, It’s useless to fight you back! These shadows on my room walls, - They were just the beginning. To what extent will you let this grow? When does my madness go? Now I’m falling down upside down, And from an endless vertigo, I can only SHOUT: Brake me one hundred times, Put me into the dark! I will set myself free, I will find my way! I’m lost. I don’t know any way out of here. Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite! Spite!
