Southmall (Intro)

E.E.C. 00:48
Feel stupid in Madrid Feel Dirty in Paris So many highways leading to shopping centers Security guards watch over empty offices Being broke in Rostock Really down in London Damned in Amsterdam Banned from Milan Damned in Amsterdam Banned from Milan I just really can't Yeah i'm really sorry Think I just don't fit in your nice EEC Feel cheated in Maastricht Feel useless at Brussels Redneck paradise Citizens turned into customers Supermarket shelves Filled with bleak €urocrap While fencing the borders To third world immigrants Customers don't realize That they're already trapped.

Sharp Blade 01:08
They told me there was nothing worth seeing with stupefaction Wanted to see the losses and benefits of the American inquisition Took my things left town with not so many expectations One hour later I was still in that place suffering from deprivation Driver left me there without any form of commiseration Went to the bar girls were starting the conversation While she was feeling through my pants seeking financial predispositions I said fine felt excited and horny with that professionnal display of persuasion While I was running in and out she played the role of submission Few drops of blood don't matter she's used to the degradation.
4.
Leeches 00:40
Companies are sucking blood Out of your third world country They keep the wound open To make you weak while spreading diseases Unless employing a cheap labor force Paid less than one dollar an hour They throw chemical waste away Exploiting and polluting the soil Fishers and farmers tighten their belts They have to move for the next year Factory shitted on their food basket The cruel law of winners and losers Being robbed of their freedom Their means of self sustainance Being robbed of their freedom Their means of self sustainance Dissolved into the logics of capitalist greed Economic wars got countless victims.
5.
Subdivided 01:01
Populations are subdivided Populations are subdivided Our town is growing bigger Soon we'll run out of space Over the Graveyard They built a shopping mall Watch out for dead souls Coming out of your canned goods Chef Boyardee spaghettis are turning into worms Collecting garbage is becoming a concern Cos' trash is piling up at every corner A colony of rats infested the city To solve the crisis the town officials Decided to build over the dump site Our town is growing bigger Subdivided in little squares Populations are subdivided Whatever happens no one cares.

Blunt Blade 00:43
Alors - Quand est-ce que tu vas arrêter D'accord - Me tannes pas avec ton incapacité Alors - Dernière fois que tu dis d'arrêter de boire D'accord - Laisse-moi espérer une lueur d'espoir Alors - C'est décidé t'arrêtes de mentir D'accord - On a tous des problêmes à surmonter Alors - T'es résolu à essayer d'en sortir D'accord - La faiblesse c'est cool quand on y'est installé Nothing changes for a blunt blade It's too late for a blunt blade.

Interlude
8.
Bored all day, Ain't nothing to do For saturday nite, Join the crew Let's get high, let's drive fast Pick some girls, Nothing lasts Few drinks after, Checked our pockets Cash is gone, Live fast Nothing lasts! So in a hurry, looking for company Girls replied with the only conclusion Felt threatened by our intrusion Standing for a stance Not some T.A.Z. Even those two chicks... Realized we didn't fill their need for security That ain't so pretty... Obviously it seemed rough to break the indifference.
9.
Planet City 01:09
Years ago, remember being much more idealistic Expecting, for better changes in our mentalities Sometimes, I feel were living in a cell With unseen walls, know it's really hard to explain Nothing happens, it's even worse today Falling again, boredom gets deeper More loneliness, as communication turn to business Call for safety grow as people fear each other One way system, our living get reduced Fucked up bent game, free to follow its rules Planet city, believing that things evolve fast Blurred reality, seems we can't even learn from the past While burning time, prevent yourself from falling Eating the big lie, below your steps Watch void keep on growing.
10.
Pleasure 00:55
Living into the lie I feel like a slave Some more puffs Some more dope Again and again If I stop it Just can't cope Cycle never ends Being bred into it since being child Taught to follow that hedonistic pride The safest mean to control people To keep them quiet passive and docile Some more puffs Some more dope Again and again If I stop it Just can't cope Cycle never ends Comfort your own ego, willing to satisfy Until when? I don't care Maybe until I die.
11.
Short 01:01
Time's getting short Living on short sightedness Always short in cash Margin's getting short Where's the short cut to get out of here? Where's the short cut to get out of here? Short-handed generation Living on short term plans Short ranged ideals Short-tempered sometimes Where's the short cut to get out of here? Where's the short cut to get out of here?
12.
So he dropped you There's nothing you can do Feel so useless Why did he left you? Questions never cease Turning in your head Can't even stop it You rather be dead So your love is lost Without explanations Keep on wondering Over those broken dreams He did his best To make you cry Felt no regrets At least he tried Open the closet Check the tablets Take them all In a single take Slowly drowning Lying on the carpet Then close your eyes and wait for death Being abandoned From betrayal Go Back home Heart shaped pills Folks are gone No friends left It's New Years Eve What do you expect When dawn is coming There's still no hope No one seem to care Don't call for help You feel sorry Don't hold your hand There's nobody To watch you drown There's nothing you can rely upon Nothing except your heart shaped pills.

Instrumental Interlude
14.
Limited 01:23
I'm already dead I'm cold inside Can't express feelings Unable to love Just a bunch of children Suffering from affective losses Crippled relations hit Those obsessed by their own No respect For anybody Hiding problems behind fake smiles Self-centered Limited Is what you reflect Is what I am Adolescent stuck in my room Fed by inanities When will I realize world still based on slavery Keep on stuffing That nothingness Useless goals Personal ends Self centered Limited Limited Limited Just a bunch of children Suffering from affective losses.
15.
There will be a day when we'll gonna quit all that shit When truth shall rise Maybe we'll never be old enough to live those days Or they will never come You'll never be set free but never give up Humans can't live in harmony Never give up Don't hurt anybody Don't let yourself get hurt Keep your eyes open Open your heart to those who deserve Grow up Achieve personal progress Never give up.
16.
D-Press 00:56
Black clouds are slowly filling your head Maze gets deeper Wait for the tunnel's end Depression cycle hit those who keep their eyes open on reality A state of mind which reveals life's derision and cruelty Don't wanna get cured Won't take your pills Tell me the truth Tell me the only truth Beside dark clouds Existence is useless and futile Keep living in darkness At the end is the light.
17.
It's tedious and boring Life's anyway is tedious and boring Aren't you fed up yet? Look what they built for us Now look what we're building Life's anyway is tedious and boring Won't try to please I'm tedious and boring Piles of shit - Our selfishness A dead grey world - Destruction of self.
18.
Concrete 01:00
Over my head the bars Thousand of windows surrounds me We're crawling at their feet Is it cells or graves? Can't escape, Feeling like shit Suffering a daily plight, Devoid of perspectives Like a frozen fish in a sea of concrete Like a frozen fish in a sea of concrete Like a frozen fish in a sea of concrete I hate this democratic nation Promises are never fulfilled Can't escape, Feeling like shit Like a frozen fish in a sea of concrete Like a frozen fish in a sea of concrete Like a frozen fish in a sea of concrete Treat us with despise Societies turned in jails.
19.
Developped nations turn raw materials Into bits of consumable and disposable shit As long as they got the technical means to assess their power Turning your animals into burgers and fried chickens Stealing your wealth and turn it into plastic Poisoning your soul with propaganda and lies Stealing your wealth and turn it into plastic Be prepared to spend your fucking life Sitting on that stupid plastic chair Weak electronic parts will decay Within one year when appliance's fucked That consumer junkie culture Is the easiest way for you Get hooked first on our products Then wait until there's something new Realize how pointless is your life Realize how pointless is your life Realize how pointless is your life Realize how useless is your life.
