Downer
Put your sincerity
I've got a royalty
Defending your country
Wish away
I've had a lobotomy
Save your family
Surrealistic fantasy
Bad boy
Fight!
All we know is
Restitution
Living out your
Date of future
There's a hope
Please show me faster
Don't forget
To pass a riot
Somebody served a dinner
Much like I am
I know I can't
Make enough although
If you go along
I sing your song
Sickening pessimists
Picketing masses
Separated communists
Apocalyptic bastards
Rinkydink God
For putting me on this Earth
Being very frivolous
Death in mind
