Survival Sickness
Wanna know about your little secret
I wanna know why we're not equal
Wanna know about the great pyramids
I wanna know just what they really did
Wanna know about the Tianmen square
Names and faces of those who died there
Wanna know about the communards
Riot in Paris where the action was
I wanna know about U
I wanna know about U
I wanna know about U
Wanna know about 1939
Spanish anarchists in our time
Wanna know about the young pretenders
I wanna know about what it meant
Wanna know about the soulrebels
The allnighters in every weather
Wanna know about the books you're reading
I wanna know about the blood you're bleeding
I wanna know about U
I wanna know about U
I wanna know about U
Yeah!
Wanna know about your secret
I wanna know why we're not equal
Wanna know 'bout my sisters and my brother
Why we miss each others
Wanna know about the burning fire
???
Wanna know about the soulrebels
Wanna know about the allnighters
???
Wanna know about the sound
Coming from the underground, all around, yeah!
Wanna know, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know
Wanna know, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know
Wanna know, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know
Wanna know, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know

Tonight I'm gonna testify that everybody's gonna be alive
So sick of doing time, so please, please won't you fill my mind
Tonight I'm gonna be alive, down on the floor for another round
Like lips kissing in the moonlight
Tonight I'm bound to testify to all of my love and all my life to you
Grab my hand and hold on tight
We're all superstars
Yeah! That's what we are
96 tears and everything's in here for you
We're all superstars
Hey! That's what we are
96 tears and everything's in here for you
Yeah!
Tonight I'm gonna feel alive, licking your neck and doing fine
Passion is the biggest crime, come on down to the subversive sound
Tonight were gonna feel the heat, right now between the sheets
Lovers in here strike up the beat, yeah!
We're all superstars
Hey! That's what we are
96 tears and everything's in here for you
Yeah!
I wanna smash it up for all the workers
Who spent hours into nothing
I wanna smash it up for all my sisters
Who got caught up in this funky system
I wanna smash it up just like a locust
Like a satellite shooting rockets
I wanna smash it up in every way I can
Right now I think I want to be your man
Smash it up when I'm down
I wanna smash it up for all the kids who
Who got fucked up just like their parents did
I wanna smash it up, the gods and masters
Who made us die so much faster

Manifest this repression with smart bombs & easy listening
Rally me up in this non-decision making, I got my mind in for the taking
My heart still hurts from last night
My heart still hurts from last night
My heart still hurts from last night
My heart still hurts from last night
Do you feel alright?
I've got, I've got survival sickness
I've got survival sickness

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Entertain me, the plot thickens, serve me up some (promises) of your good living
A grand total of understatement, show me salvation and I'll (tell you why I) hate it
My heart still hurts from last night

My heart still hurts from last night
Do you feel alright?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
You know how it feels not to be wanted down here
You know how it feels not to feel at home anywhere
You know how it feels to live down on your knees
You know how it feels to always say please
Yeah!
My heart still hurts from last night
My heart still hurts from last night
My heart still hurts from last night
My heart still hurts from last night
Do you feel alright?

Won't you forget about me when I'm gone
Reproduction of death drags us all along
Close your eyes, pretend that nothing's wrong
Won't you forget about me, yeah!
Won't you forget about me when I'm gone
Stomp your feet, nod your head and we all move on
Close your eyes, pretend, yeah!

Reproduction of death forces us all in line
An installment plan on a suicide
Won't you forget about me, yeah!
Hey! Won't you sell me (like)
Cheap bubble-gum, I'm going out of my head
Hey! Won't you sell me (like)
Cheap bubble-gum, I'm going out

Saw my face on a wanted sign
It was plastered all over town
Saw my face on a wanted sign
High-treason was my crime
It's all a part of the conspiracy
The hunting down of you & me
Saw a wall full of wanted signs
See your face, I see it all the time
Looking for us everywhere
Everywhere and we don't care
Saw my face on a wanted sign
It was plastered all over town
Saw my face on a wanted sign
So I knew I had to get on down
I had to change my identity
Find a new face for you & me
Saw my face on a wanted sign
Knew right there I had to get away
Looking for us everywhere
Everywhere and we don't care
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it
Everybody knows that were all crazy
Everybody knows that were all fucked up
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it
Everybody knows that were all fucked
Everybody knows that were all crazy
New face so I could get away
Get away just for a single day
New identity in a hundred ways
No more an outcasts or a slave
So I slipped into my brand new part
Open book a brand new mark
New identity for you & me
New face that might set us free
Looking for us everywhere
Everywhere and we don't care
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it
Everybody knows that were all crazy
Everybody knows that were all fucked up
Yeah, I wanna do it -- right
Yeah, I wanna do it
Everybody knows that were all fucked
Hey! I said, hey, now! I said, hey, hey! Everybody's got a new face
Hey! I said, hey, now! I said, hey, hey! Everybody's got a new face
Hey! I said, hey, now! I said, hey, hey! Everybody's got a new face
Hey! I said, hey, now! I said, hey, hey! Everybody's got a new face
You can choke on easyways while we stay up every night & every day
Doesn't matter what you say cos your ways are so fucking lame
Yeah! We're all coming over while we watch you take your pills, watch you fall asleep
Yeah! We're all gonna dig the sound of the new beat
There's no way that your going to make it out of here in time
Only lovers, only lovers gonna be left alive
There's no way that your going to make it out of here in time
Only lovers, only lovers gonna be left alive
Feel the heat that we are all taking about, a realization of our wildest schemes
Your lack of passion and your lack of dreams pretty much made you obsolete
No more sitting down, shutting up, taking shit, we could never dream of it
No more sitting down, shutting up, taking shit, we could never dream of it
Yeah! And we all going to scream about it
Yeah! And the kids are finally gonna reign
Yeah! Get rid of all the adults cos they couldn't take the strain, yeah!
There's no way that your going to make it out of here in time
Only lovers, only lovers gonna be left alive
There's no way that your going to make it out of here in time
Only lovers, only lovers gonna be left alive
You can choke on easyways while we stay up every night & every day
Doesn't matter what you say cos today your traditions are completely dead
Yeah! We are coming over
Yeah! Old ways going down
Yeah! Dying of laughter
Yeah! While we dig the new sound

I wanna thank the industrialization for the noises it gave
Thanks for the planes and thanks for the trains
And the factories that you've made
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
I wanna thank this cultural production for the sounds that it brings
It makes us amplify our manifestos and it enables me to sing
I wanna thank you, my little Nemesis, for everything
For making my head explode and my ears ring
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
Will it ever be quiet...
Down here?
Will it ever be quiet...
Down here?
Will it ever be quiet...
Down here?
Will it ever be quiet...
Down here?
I wanna thank the industrialization for the noises it gave
Thanks for the planes and thanks for the trains
And the factories that you've made
I send out all my thanks to the city that never sleeps
It's spreading all over the world, new sounds each week
I'm enslaved by the weekdays
By their names: Monday to Friday
I'm enslaved by the things we say
Everywhere I go a little secret
And I wish that you would come here and tell me that we're all doing fine
I wish that you would come here and tell me that we're not losing our minds
I'm enslaved by the living space
By the roofs, the walls and the working place
I'm enslaved by the games we play
No matter what I do, I will still sell myself
And I wish that you would come here and tell me that we're all doing fine
I wish that you would come here and tell me that we're not losing our minds
I'm sure that we all wanna blow
I said thats what we ought to do
I'm sure that we all wanna change it all
That's why I'm coming to you
I'm sure that you all wanna know, know, know, know
I'm sure that you all wanna blow
I'm enslaved by the weekdays
By their names: Monday to Friday
I'm enslaved by the words we say
Every little sentence turns me into a slave
And I wish that you would come here and tell me that we're all dying here
I wish that you would come here and tell me that we're all dying
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!

I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
And I'm sure that we all wanna blow
I said thats what we ought to do
I'm sure that we all wanna change it all
Thats why I'm coming to you
I'm sure that we all wanna know, know, know, know
I'm sure that you all wanna know
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!
I'm a slave!

Got my heart set on destruction, gonna plant a bomb inside my mind
Filled with passion, hope & resistance, take it to the streets this time
Gonna steal the language of power, power of these words are ours
No rhetorical blackmail to make us convey, baby, there's no other way
Got my heart set on destruction of the more Bakuninesque kind
Tear it down to built something new up, work myself all wet this time
Gonna gather my brothers & my sisters, together we will organize
Biggest festival of the history, biggest party of our lives
Yeah! I'm gonna bring you some news
