Mother 04:03
“(With) all the things I have done for you, How can you hurt me so much, son? Whipping you wasn’t fun, boy And it was only a few times…” “I’d like to see you in my shoes Would you feel the lashes on my skin? I’d like to see if you cry Or would you hold the tears from fear? And all the crazy reactions, the threats spoken in my ears, Mother do you see all this pain? Who deserves to be blamed?” Perception, in her eyes, In her heart, an objective view Toxic, injection from birth, hear the mother speak “ Good, Son, forgive the burns” “I’d like to see you in my shoes Would you feel the lashes on my skin? I’d like to see if you cry Or would you hold the tears from fear? And all the crazy reactions, the threats spoken in my ears, Mother do you see all this pain? Who deserves to be blamed?” “All the things I have given you, How could you hurt me so much, mom? Loving you wasn’t easy But I am glad this is done”

Broken, the faith I had in you Blood streams in the wrong scenes, innocents to the flies Swollen, the infection in our hearts The show keeps running, death keeps coming, the only gift you gave Chorus No wonder that your system Killed my brothers and my sisters, We are god fearing men, god fearing men You are not my mother, not my loving father We are god fearing men, god fearing men Slowly, until our final breath You feed us with your pain, but few can see the gain Time, Time, Time, the game you like to play It’s a Russian Roulette, for each and every step Chorus (repeat) Bridge: You own the crowd, You own our sins and lies You made us cripple You gave us war

Why don’t you just kill us? We run and run, ten people behind us, they’ve got the guns Bullets, fly in the air, they’ve just hit my sister Her scream of pain cut through the night She falls and rolls, A bloody smile, her last goodbye She was only sixteen Death is death, but this is something I can’t accept A human life, a baby lies Now you’ll pay the price, A life damnation is not enough for your crime Blood and salt There’s no way out I will follow you to hell, if that is what it takes Blood and salt I Drop dead to the ground Defeated and beaten In a pool of blood, here comes the leader His laughter rings in the air I look into his eyes His black cold gems penetrate my skull I’m naked, and taken, his long knife shines in the night, I’m lost into his grip My fear, my pain, That cruel look doesn’t stir away But I’m not his pray, not this way Chorus (repeat) Have you ever wondered what happened to me? Did you think death was enough for me? Have you ever heard of angry ghosts? Did you think you could spend your life in peace? I came back to hunt you down, you are mine!

Queen 03:43
You bet you are cold, worn, you are fucking machine You never loved since you were born, not much honey lots of gold “Have me, touch me for a little price, very cheap for a sexy lie” Sold out, piece by piece you are on the street You want some more, never stop the greed Pushing the boundaries, filling your heart with heat Lovely, lovely full make up, I wouldn’t recognize you But what’s mask when you bask in lust, right into the heart of darkness And many white man call you queen, the queen of greens and whisky dicks Once there was beauty, it was bought and sold as a souvenir You want some more, never stop the greed Pushing the boundaries, filling your heart with heat That’s right She said Cause you know me So well “(You are) Another man who’s looking at me Your eyes don’t lie, you want me in your bed But your tongue spells words, bashing me Another one spitting on me”

Mekong Drums 04:07
Big time swimming in the river, polluted, diluted, we’re carried away. Big fishes eating my feet, better than a dam that dries the land, ain’t that true? Empty pockets but fat police, feeding from Thai titties and the Japanese And that’s when the business begins They’ll tell you something like this: Don’t matter the fish, nor your land, but all you gotta do is to plug this in And beautiful scenes, from a big flat screen and flashing lights in your only room, free of charge And that’s when the business begins They’ll tell you something like this. But don’t you do it, Can’t you smell it, Don’t you see it, it’s a bag of lies So be the one, who rejects the deal, keep the real, Mekong Power So be the one, who rejects the deal, keep the real, Mekong Power ---- Be the one, who plays the drums, in the sun, like a Mekong king Embrace the lights, the electric mighty, sign this deal, for hydropower

Rubber 05:43
Running fast, playing in the woods, Diving naked in waterfalls I remember you and me, As we used to be, Young and free, among the trees but then they came, hungry for the land And you decided to sell it out Why? You betrayed us baby? Why? You had to sell us baby? Rubber for our land? How much for the fucking land? Why? You had to leave us baby? Like the sun, still burning through the clouds Our bond was invincible But was it a lie or the truth? I can see with my own eyes, how you exchanged our sacred land Why? You betrayed us baby? Why? You had to sell us baby? Rubber for our land? How much for our fucking land? Why? You had to leave us baby? Can you feel it? Can you smell it? Blood There’s blood on your hands How do you clean your soul? our blood on your hands Was it worth? Was it gold? Did you like it? Rubber and wood for blood and spirits Gems and mines for bones and souls
