Jonestown Aloha! Lyrics

PRAY FOR PEACE AND KILL FOR CHRIST
During pogroms, innocent prople died
Preist said it was justified
"They nailed Jesus to a cross
So it won't be any loss"
Middle ages, holy war,
Christians came from afar
To save their holy town
People killed, houses burnt down
Kill for God, kill for Christ
And you'll get your share in paradise
Priest said their life's a waste


HOLIDAY IN LEBANON
People under debris and beams
Mutilated corpses cries of pain
It's an air-raid! Switch off the lights!
Israel is bombing the city again
Shalom! Shalom! It's a Holiday in Lebanon
Bombing a camp well, that's alright
Because God is always on our side
They're the bad ones, we're OK
So let's switch off their water supply


ISOLATIEFOLTER
Helemal allen, geen geluiden om je heen
Alles is wit, je ziet geen vlek
Zo wordt je vanzelf wel gek
Je krijgt geen bezoek en ook geen post
Want je bent een terrorist
Alle steeds gekontroleerd, je wordt telkens gefouilleerd

Isolatiefolter
Dagen, wek en isolatie, vierentwintigurige doservatie
Toch moet je goed begrijpen; we leven in een demokratie
Isolatiefolter

Voetstappen op de gang
Eindelijk geluid toch ben je bang
Moord of zelfmoord... Of wordt je al paranoia
Isolatiefolter isolatiefolter isolatiefolter isolatiefolter


HONOR & JUSTICE
Charcoal corpses all around
Pools of blood soak the ground
Because of race, beliefs, nationality
Innocent children die
They don't know what's happening
What is being done to them
Bombs are falling from the sky
While people scream in agony
Burning...
The sky is burning
Skin is burning
Fools in line obey an order
Blown away before they can reach the border
But they won't stop until the end
Murdering for the fatherland
Honor & justice, your country's flag
A load of bullshit, a stick and a rag


RACE RIOT
Economics going bad, crisis is setting in
Housing shortage poverty
They're looking for someone to blame
Race riot
Mass media has done it's job
People say we need an immigration stop
Can't you see the writing on the walls
Everybody's waiting for the fascist call...
Violence over one's colour of skin
No one realises that there's no one who wins
Attention distracted, nobody knows
That the crisis was the government's fault...


BUY OR DIE
Shut up, consume, be happy
We will tell you what to do and when
There's nothing you don't own
We'll create needs for you
So buy or die!
We'll ram our bullshit down your throat
Thru commercials and TV ads
We'll rip you off as long as you live
And we'll sell your body when you're dead...
We own you and we do it all for you


ARMS RACE
This world is ruled
By demented old men
Shaking hands all day long
But what they do is breeding hate
We've got to stop them
Before it's too late
Stop the arms race
Not the human race
ELECTROSHOCK
Men in white
Coming for me
They're gonna take me away
To a concentration camp,
For the people who don't obey
They tie me to a chair,
Their needles everywhere
And I'd better prepare (for a nightmare)

Electroshock

What am I doing in here??
I've gotta get out
But there's no one
Who can hear me shout
And now I'm really happy,
I live a life of joy,
I smile when the doctor says
That I am a good boy


ALLEGIANCE TO NO-ONE
Nevada desert
A mushroom cloud in the sky
And soldiers forced to walk
On that radiated soil
An order is an order
But now they're slowly dying
There is no proof, it seems
No reason for a trial...
Sergeant said there was no danger
"You've got a film-badge, so you're safe..."
For nearly 30 years the matter
Has been hushed up
Now all witnesses are dead
So there's no proof

You're so stupid
You're so dumb, taking orders without thinking
Allegiance to no one...
They said you'd see the beginning of the atom-era
But you didn't live long enough to tell...
Allegiance to no one
I won't pledge allegiance to one flag
Not to one man


FREEZE ME
Western civilisation; fear of death
Nobody wants eternal rest
In nitrogen they're doing fine
Waiting for the end of time

Freeze me
It's no sacrifice
Freeze me
I wanna be on ice

For $50,000 I'll live forever
Scientists are very clever
They will wake me up one day
And everything will be OK


POLICE CRIMES
The stairs in cop offices
Are built to kick handcuffed people down
Once in a while someone gets killed
Papers say: "Reasons unknown"

Police crimes

Foreigner had to show I.D.
So grapped his passport immediately
Cop shot him right through the head
"I slipped and fell" is what he said

Warning shot (cop said it was a)
Murderers (the police are)
In Amsterdam, Brixton, Germany, Russia
America, South Africa, El Salvador, anywhere
People are being killed by the police...


SPRAY PAINT
It gives me more information than a letter
And makes the city look lots better
You can't afford a commercial on TV
So spread your band's name all across the city
With spray paint...
Those kids ain't got a clue
They don't know what to do
Is it art? An individual call?
Why should they write those names on any wall?
And all the people
They think we make a mess
Why do we do it?
They can only guess, ha ha
Spray paint...
Spray paint all across the city


VIVISECTION
Do you want those neutron rays sent thru your brain
Or some mercury sent injections in your veins...
Do you want your skin covered with napalm
Do you want to spend all your life nailed to a table

Vivisection it's so fucking unfair
No one seems to care

Do you want that poison gas pumped up your nose
Do you want to get that lethal dose
Do you want to be frozen alive
Or have your balls cut off just to see how you'll behave

It's not for human progress, it's just for cash
MEMBERSHIP
Open 'til 6 in the morning
They say I need a membership
I know what it is that makes this place stink
I don't look proper and I can't pay their drinks
Membership... I didn't wanna go there anyway


UP TO YOU
It's up to you
Everybody's tired of your social class
Everybody's tired of your anarchy signs
You think you can change the world
But all you ever do is sniffing white lines

It's up to you
Do anything, start a band
Make a lotta noise
Smash up all their toys
Together we can take a stand

Everybody's tired of the way
You judge people wearing different clothes
Everybody's tired of the social control
Everybody's tired of your stupid posing
It's up to you


REGERING (KRIJG DE TERING)
Grote kampanjes veel beloven
Moeten wij die lulkoek geloven
Stemmen helpt allang niet meer
Rachts wint toch wel keer op keer
Je wordt verwacht je neer te leggen
Bij wat de meeste mensen zeegen
Als je ertegen protesteert
Wordt je met harde hand bekeerd
VVD, CDA, bla bla bla bla...
De minister president ontdook
Menig blastingcent,
Toch vangt hij strax een vet
Pensioen, wij kunnen het met
De bijstand doen...
Leuke wetten zo kado
Maar wat moet ik met die klotezooi
Ze bekijken het maar mooi
Regering, krig de tering


SOYLENT GREEN
Is there life before death?
Or are we all doomed
Just to consume and to be consumed
We're only waiting...
Waiting for the human zoo
Waiting for the TV-screens
Waiting for the nuclear wars
The test tube generation is waiting for me
The fuck-machines


TOUT LES FLICS
Just walking down the street
Someone knocks you off your feet
Standing up against the wall
You didn't do anything at all

They drag you in a car
You get punched and kicked some more
Just try to fight them back
And there's a gun pointed at your neck

All cops are bastards


GET KILLED
Comes a time that you'll get caught
Comes a time that you'll get killed
It's all over your time is up
You'll be crawling in the mud
Pick up your rifle, switch off your brain
Now it's time to become a man
Can't you see; your guts are gone
I'm not to be drafted
I'm not to be used
Those war-freaks better shoot themselves
Instead of fooling me
They stamp in your brain
That you're the best
But they don't say
What's the risk for you
You'll find out about the political mess
Ran dan... is er oorlog
Get killed get killed killed
They'll quit and play some chess instead
Killed killed


PILL-PARTY
There's nothing left to do tonight
And I can't spend a dime
So let's phone all our friends
And have a real cool time
Alcohol phenabarbitol no problem, man
I can have them all
Passing out in the lavatory
Really is the thing for me

Pill-party, pill-party, pill-party
No doubt I will pass out...

Mandrax and sniffing glue
I like dope and valium too
It's such fun, can't get enough
And all the girls think I'm real tough

Last week I woke up in the bath-tub
