Go For a Ride

music: Manu Hartmann; Simon Bucher / lyrics: Manu Hartmann

9 o'clock in the morning
sun is shining bright
we're in a good mood
ready for a ride

our things in a bundle,
with a deep-throat rumble
we follow the road
no matter where it goes

hair's flying wild
to the sound of the engine we smile

then we run out of gas, and
into something crass!

our gloves got stolen
while we flirt with the boy from the store
but we don't care, buy a new pair
tonight, the road is our love affair!

hair's flying wild
to the sound of the engine we smile
with the humming in the (our) ear
there's nothing to fear
doubts and worries
we leave it all behind

it is late
shadows on the street
it's starts to rain, the air
tastes of something sweet

now I understand
now i know what it means
to be on the road
to be on two wheels

that moment when you start the engine
put on your helmet and hit the road
then you'll forget everything
while you listen to the roar

No bills, no appointments
we drive into the night
and feel free – yeah - like a bird in flight

if you need to clear your mind,
go for a ride

I don't wanna sing these blues

music: Simon Bucher & Manu Hartmann / lyrics: Manu Hartmann

Once we had a band
it was a good time
we became a brand
everything was fine

we played a lot of shows
always in a full house
I can tell you
we were the arouse........but,

then I got bored
I wanted something new
there's so much to discover
enough for me to brew

music is'nt a one-way street
it is branched like a tree
shimmers in many colors
at all music is free

all you pigeonholed thinkers
you don't understand
trapped in your own world
as small as la-la land

well, it really bores me
it's always the same
I am a free spirit
but you say that's a shame, but

does it really matter?
do you really need to know?
stop to think in boxes
free your mind, let it flow

music doesn't care
music is just there
your heartbeat is the beginning
takes you everywhere

sex satisfies your desire
music feeds your soul
get your mind on fire, on

I've Seen The Moon

music & lyrics: Hensel Hartmann

There's pain
It's all in vain
(I've seen the moon)

He said I'm gone
I said so long
(I've seen the moon)

My heart is empty
He's is broken too
(I've seen the moon)

On the dark side
It is a wild ride
(I've seen the moon)

The words are empty
The slurs hurt

I've seen the Moon,
I've seen the Moon

There's pain
It's all in vain
(I've seen the moon)

There's pain
It's all in vain
(I've seen the moon)

There's pain
It's all in vain
(I've seen the moon)

Loose But Trapped

music: Manu Hartmann; Marco Jencarelli / lyrics: Simon Siegenthaler

and all the light is kept away
loose but trapped

and all the light is kept away
I hide in the shadows of my past

no point in filling a breaking glass
lost and broken I'm lurching through my town

swimming in sorrows how long till I'm gonna drown?
all the good reasons I leaned on float away
fed up with this game I'm forced to play

scratched and trapped
running fast but not making way

scratched and wrapped
believing my own lies, but feeling betrayed

steady but rushed - my time is closing in
held but crushed - never too much of a good thing

lost and broken, I'm lurching through my town
swimming in sorrows, how long till I'm gonna drown?
All the good reasons I leaned on, float away
fed up with this game, I'm forced to play

who's that stranger in the mirror
lip-syncing to the voice from the off
every plot-twist makes it clearer
this ain't a story, no! it's a scoff
just a cruel joke that controls my mind
I gotta punch it over the finish line

lost and broken, I'm lurching through my town
swimming in sorrows, how long till I'm gonna drown?
All the good reasons I leaned on, float away
fed up with this game, I'm forced to play

loose but trapped
and all the light is kept away

I hide in the shadows of my past

loose but trapped
my time is closing in

Old Friend

music: Manu Hartmann / lyrics: Marion Segato

Hello pain , my old friend
Welcome home, here you are again

You're coming tall and proud, nothing to deny
so well known, no chance for me to hide

This is the price I have to pay
to fight you took my strength away
to stand you whitened all my hair
so much effort and never fair

the times when you come, are so well known,
as well as the times when you go
leave me, I'm begging you

Now the painful times are over
loud and joyful now I am,
happy as a little child
Emerged from the darkness
and laugh in the sunshine again

Reborn!
Dark days and pain are gone,
happy-go-lucky-life is back
Friends, let's celbebrate, sing and dance

Goodbye pain, old friend goodbye
I'm not sad – no! - I'm not sad you going by
goodbye pain, old friend goodbye

Goodbye pain!

Rainbow Money

music & lyrics: Hensel Hartmann

dirty money – used to rule people's life
bloody money – kill the people in the process
black money – use to controll my life
washed money – makes the crooks look happy again

dirty money, bloody money, black money, washed money
dirty money, bloody money, black money, washed money
dirty money, bloody money, black money, washed money

UBS, Goldmann and the Sachs
try to sell our backs
no jews, just jerks
no rules, just perks

extort the poor, blackmail the rich
our livelyhood was stolen – I can't....it makes me sick
we have to fight for everyone's survival,
while their crimes never even go to trial

my money you'll never get
his money you'll never get
her money you'll never get
my money you'll never get
no!

dirty money, bloody money, black money, washed money
dirty money, bloody money, black money, washed money
dirty money, bloody money, black money, washed money
dirty money, bloody money, black money, washed money

my money you'll never get
his money you'll never get
her money you'll never get
my money you'll never get

no!

Smile

music & lyrics: Manu Hartmann

I'm hanging out on this lazy day,
thinking about you,
dreaming about the things we could do
All those beautyful thoughts
put a smile on my face,
it's you...that makes me smile

I'm thinking about past times
smiling about memories
there's a lot of love, for you, for me
everybody who knows
what it means to give true love
...they give a smile

oh your smile, oh your smile
it is your warming smile
that gives me a reason to live
...you make me smile

What I wanna do is
spend time with you
with you, and your charming smile
now I see how great real love is
yeah! one of the good things in life

oh your smile, oh your smile
it is your warming smile
that gives me a reason to live

oh your smile, oh your smile
it's you that makes me smile

yeah it's you, it's you babe
with your warming smile
who give me a reason to live
.....you make me smile

There's Something Wrong!

music: Manu Hartmann; Marco Jencarelli / lyrics: Manu Hartmann

there's something wrong with humanity
there's something wrong with morality
there's something wrong with equality

obvious lies are tolerated and become the norm

there's something wrong children are abused
there's something wrong violence is profuse
there's something wrong I am real confused

superficiality and incompetence are celebrated while the liars shake hands

there's something wrong liars dominate
there's something wrong speeches of hate
there's something wrong many corrupt state

people get abused while grinning idiots are amused

there's something wrong with humanity
there's something wrong with morality
there's something wrong with equality

to care about the environment, is not a question of left or right

Oh.....! I say there's something's wrong

don't we see the need for justice?
is it really that hard to say the truth?

we don't fail because of the defeats we have suffered, no!
but because of conflicts that we do not dare

there's something wrong ...

Think about the revolution

music & lyrics: Hensel Hartmann

keep in mind the revolution
dont forget the revolution
think about the revolution
remember back the revolution

or it will come again
or it will come again
or it will come again
or it will come again

there was a time bevor the revolution
you thought you get away with pollution
you thought you get away with construsion
you though you get away with corruption

but then it came again
but then it came again
but then it came again
but then it came again

keep in mind the revolution
dont forget the revolution
think about the revolution
remember back the revolution

or it will come again
or it will come again
or it will come again
or it will come again

once more they think its all ok
once more they try to take away
once more they sceem and plot all day
once more they think they'll get away

so it will come again
soon it will come again
sure it will come again
does it have to come again?

history will shit on you
history will shit on you
history will shit on you
history will shit on you

keep in mind the revolution
dont forget the revolution
think about the revolution
remember back the revolution

keep in mind the revolution........!

Vasoline

music & lyrics: stone tempels pilots

One time a thing occurred to me, what's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
Flies in the vasoline we are, sometimes it blows my mind
Keep gettin' stuck here all the time

It isn't you, it isn't me, search for things, that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach, somewhere in the vasoline

Two times and it has rendered me, punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
Flies in the vasoline we are, sometimes it blows my mind
Keep gettin' stuck here all the time

It isn't you, it isn't me, search for things, that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach, somewhere in the vasoline

You'll see the look, you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies, and you will

Flies in the vasoline we are, sometimes it blows my mind
Keep gettin' stuck here all the time

It isn't you, it isn't me, search for things, that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach, somewhere in the vasoline

Who Do You Love?

music & lyrics: Bo Diddley

I walk 47 miles of barb wire
use a cobra-snake for a necktie
I got a brand new house on the roadside
made from rattlesnake hide

I got a brand new chimney made on top
made out of a human skull
come on take a little walk with me,
tell me, who do you love?

who do you love?
who do you love?
who do you love?
who do you love?

well the Night was dark,but the sky was blue
down the alley, the ice-wagon flew
heard a bump, somebody screamed
you should'a heard just what I've seen

who do you love?
who do you love?
who do you love?
who do you love?

I got a Tombstone hand and a graveyard mine
just twentytwoo and I don't mind dying

I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip
take it easy, don't give me no lip

who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
who do you love?
