No Way Out

There's no way out Crude ideas make bodies clap Abused people roar battle slogans And they don't know for whom or what This country was a shining light A shelter for the lost and exiled Out, out, roar the rescued of the past Bodies clap, blood flows, tears flow Where is the spirit? Does freedom have a color? Bodies clap, blood flows, tears flow Who chooses words like accelerants? Who dictates the alogorithm of the machines? Who takes the butter off our bread? Who profits? Out, out, out Who takes the butter off our bread? Out, out, out, roar the rescued of the past

Don't Insta Me! Enter what? Enter when? Enter my dream Enter my network I want everything from you, come in, come in, come in. I want everything from you, come in, come in, come in. I want you, I want you I'll take everything from you, squeeze you dry like a Lemon.

A Little Bit of Life No, no, no and no again Why, why are you eroding me A little bit of life, more than living That's all you want to give That's all you want to give You set your bureaucrats on fire So they can have fun enforcing the rules You set them on fire, fire, fire No, no, no, and no again We freeze, we disappear, paralyzed Head down, eat garbage, pay debts We freeze, we disappear, paralyzed And nothing comes from those we borrow from And nothing comes from those we borrow from Head down, eat garbage, pay debts Eroding us, eroding us And we still freeze But we don't disappear And we are not paralyzed

Being Different Is Beautiful Diversity is not a crime Being different is beautiful Diversity and being different is beautiful Is beautiful, is beautiful, is beautiful

But Everything Is Missing They talk about loss of freedom They want me to take care of myself They don't want to help anymore They don't want to show empathy anymore They don't want to accept rules anymore They think they are doing me good They don't think I can resist They don't think I will fight back They don't think I will win They don't think I can resist They don't think I will fight back They don't think I will win I will find their islands I will find their enclaves I will cut them off from the pleasures of life I will starve them culturally And when they are on Mars I will be dead Because of too much heat, too much madness But no one will entertain you anymore You will dream of people like me But no one will bring light into your sad lives But no one will entertain you anymore You will dream of people like me You try to create them in machines But everything is missing because they are only recorders, just like you But everything is missing

Happy and sad Happy and sad I think of you Happy and sad I think of you, I think of you Will the barriers finally become obsolete? Will we overcome the boundaries? Fouled without being on the ball Booed, insulted, rejected Happy and sad I think of you Booed, insulted, rejected, humiliated, excluded Happy and sad I think of you I think of you Will the barriers finally become obsolete? Will we overcome the boundaries? I think of you A plaything without being a player Fouled without being a ball Fouled without being on the ball Booed, insulted, rejected, humiliated, excluded I think of you I think of you Rejected, humiliated, excluded, insulted, booed I think of you Happy and sad Happy and sad I think of you

Ballad of a Nightfly I have to leave, no more drinks I don't want to drink here anymore I have to go, find a new path No more drinks I don't wanna drink here anymore Any more, find a new place I don't wanna drink here anymore No more drinks I have to go, find a new path I have to leave, no more drinks!

about

“No Way Out,” a recording like a cry for help that simply gets lost in the flood of information, no longer touches anyone, and only raises questions such as: “Where is the exit, please?” (“There Is No Way Out”). We beg for a little bit of self-determination (“A Little Bit of Life”), we just want to live our lives the way we need and want to (“Being Different Is Beautiful”), without falling from one crisis into another (“Happy And Sad”). It gets worse when we G7 children have to face the harsh reality (“But Everything Is Missing”). And because social media already scans and evaluates us down to our very brains, we should just turn off these tools (“Don't Insta Me”). And in order to break this vicious circle and get off our butts, we should finally leave the bar we haven't moved from in decades without ordering a nightcap (“Ballad of A Nightfly”).
