Live & Loud

Joe Ibrahim / Richard Jung

Watch the zombies come out at night Rotten brains full of foul ideas Glassy eyes, what an ugly sight And the funky stench of a thousand years

Glorifying a hueless past With only grey and black and white But some things are not meant to last Boy, it looks like their future is not too bright

More love – we’re stronger More colors, lasting much, much longer More life – more fun Let me tell you that our colors don’t run

More love – together We are more, we can make it better, now Don’t be afraid, hey, we are more More love – together We are more, we can make it better, now With open arms and an open door And an open door!

Angry puppets and un-succeeders Do you think that you will do well When you follow some twisted leaders And believe in all the lies they tell?

Heavy hearts full of hate and fear Lost the beat and got out of time March away, till you disappear Go find your reason, go find your rhyme

More love – we’re stronger More colors, lasting much, much longer More life – more fun Let me tell you that our colors don’t run

More love – together We are more, we can make it better, now Don’t be afraid, hey, we are more More love – together We are more, we can make it better, now With open arms and an open door And an open door!

More love, more life Get together, fight the struggle and strife More life, more love Together inna unity when push comes to shove

Join hands, rub shoulders inna one unity Many tones come together for a sweet harmony Mi no matter color, gender, age, or nationality Join hands, rub shoulders inna one unity

More love – together We are more, we can make it better, now Don’t be afraid, hey, we are more More love – together We are more, we can make it better, now With open arms and an open door And an open door!

Suddenly this morning, she kicks me out of bed Without a single warning, shouts bullets to my head ‘The way you run your life, makes me pull my gun I will end this war now, before it has begun!’

‘I can’t hear, my music is on full power Your destructive breathing, will kill me in an hour You just went to shower! It’s loud to my ear Why won’t you answer, explosive outbursts you fear?’

‘Why do I have to drop the bowl until it breaks Apologizing is for people who make mistakes’ World is burning, while we play hide and seek Escalation seven days a week

Escalation seven days a week Escalation seven days a week Escalation seven days a week Escalation is what we need, now!

‘After work you always want to sit on a chair No pressure on leisure, don’t you even dare The kitchen towel needs to be in perfect position This relationship becomes a hard toxic mission!’

It’s possible to change things although it hurts Second step makes happy after challenging first The third step will take you to a peaceful place Where life says ‘Hello’ with a smile on it’s face

Refrain

It’s possible to change things although it hurts Second step makes happy after challenging first The third step will take you to a peaceful place Where life says ‘Hello’ with a smile on its face

Refrain

My Baby said to me we
Got to go out on the town
Sick of these four walls oh man
I’m sick of sitting around

Found my coat I grabbed my hat
Need my dancin’ shoes today
Your shoes are where you left ’em
Was all that she could say

She said - I might not know another thing
But one thing is for sure

Ska is where my heart is, she said
Ska is where my heart is. she said
Ska is where my heart is, she said
Ska is where my heart is, she said

Seek and you shall find my friend
’Cause luck is what you make it
You gonna find what you look for
As long as you don‘t fake it

Wasn’t there when they got lost
She said I don’t know who hid them
The only thing that‘s in my head
Is this funny funky rhythm

She said - I might not know another thing
But one thing is for sure

Ska is where my heart is, she said
Ska is where my heart is. she said
Ska is where my heart is, she said
Ska is where my heart is, she said

Preach it baby speak the truth
Cause at those pearly gates
For young and old, for good and bad
A smoking Ska band waits

And if your heart is pure and true
There‘s one thing you should know
Eternity for you ’n’ me’s
A blasting Busters show

Music & Lyrics: R. Solomon

use me, boss me
supress me, insult me
know me, deny me
ignore me, and despise me

but tell me that you love me too - love me too
tell me that you love me too - love me too

pack me, send me
through me, unload me
peel me and wash me
freeze me and thaw me

but tell me that you love me too - love me too
tell me that you love me too - love me...

remember: everything you do
will come back to you...soon
just do what you have to do
but tell me that you...

scratch me, bite me, kick me, beat me
hang me, dry me, cook me, slice me
eat me, digest me, fry me

but tell me that you love me too - love me too
uuh...love me, love me too

love me - love me - love me - love me, love me too
love me - love me - love me - love me, love me too
love me too - love me too
tell me that you love me too - that you love me too
but tell me that you love me too - love me too
tell me that you love me too - love me too

Monday feeling, morn’ till evening Togetherness seems alright We always change things, and rearrange things The book of love won’t tell lies

Alone again, my biggest fan Live like Lara Croft and Superman I just go on, feel mega strong All night I’m singing my song

Everybody needs somebody To move the mountains low and high but I will save the world alone, on my own Save it all alone

Make my decisions, realize my visions Sleep all night and day Always know what’s right, no more lose a fight I’m doin’ it my way

Alone again, my biggest fan Live like Lara Croft and Superman I just go on, feel mega strong All night I’m singing my song

Refrain

I never give up, I always show up It’s hard to describe, this alone on earth vibe Why did you leave home

Refrain

My view completely fogged up I rub a hole with my fist Can’t find the answers on the track More questions on my list

In this mad world full of hate Next station maybe the last I wish to take another gate Far away from the past

You said the truth is somewhere out there, in nowhere I need a guide to take me higher, much higher

Black out, time out Log out with no doubt Ready to break out You’ll follow me

We dance our last ball Last call for free fall Ready to take off You’ll follow me

Too many things we couldn’t see Always on the run Not your fault it was on me Killing all the fun

I left a note just for you Couldn’t say good bye I left no address for you Please don’t ask me why

You said the truth is somewhere out there, in nowhere I need a guide to take me higher, much higher

Refrain

I can’t explain Sometimes life plays a different game I can’t explain My heart told me: jump out of the train

Refrain

Liebe Liebe, was redest du mir ein
Liebe Liebe, du schenkst mir zu viel ein
Liebe Liebe, und füllst mich völlig ab
Worum ich nicht gebeten hab

Liebe Liebe, versprichst mir Medizin
Liebe Liebe, war das Heroin?
Liebe Liebe, du nimmst mich bei der Hand
Und knallst mich an die Wand

Warum so schön und intensiv
Warum so leidenschaftlich tief
So interessant, so unbekannt
Hast du mich völlig überrannt

Warum so schrecklich attraktiv
Warum, wo doch alles so gut lief
’Nen Scheiß interessierst du dich für mich
Liebe, dafür hass ich dich

Liebe Liebe, ich hab dir nichts getan
Liebe Liebe, schleichst dich von hinten an
Liebe Liebe, hinterhältig und gemein
Würgst du mir ständig eine rein

Liebe Liebe, du schießt mich hoch ins Glück
Liebe Liebe, und zerrst mich dann zurück
Liebe Liebe, halt mich nicht so fest
Ich bin weg, wenn du mich lässt

Refrain

Liebe Liebe, erst Sex tagaus, tagein
Liebe Liebe, nur noch mit mir allein
Alles war so richtig gut
Jetzt schürst du nur noch Hass und Wut

Liebe Liebe, hör auf, das hat kein’ Zweck
Liebe Liebe, ich hör jetzt nur noch weg
Ich weiß nicht, wer du bist
Du scheiß Gefühlsfaschist

Refrain

Hey, come on stranger, fear no danger
Cut loose your anxiety
We made a vow to show you how to
Not fall for foul society

Spotlight gleamed, the crowds they screamed
And the handcuffs clicked so hard
The ups and downs, ten times around
We put all our luck on a single card

Falling down
We’re still falling down
We’re falling down
But one thing’s sure: we’ll come around

Our hearts vibrate against the hate
The sound of boots out on the street
Hey, roll your sleeve up! Roll a reefer
And then let’s lose it to the beat!

Get on the main track, reggae maniac
Together we have come this far
Dance floor’s shaking, earth is quaking
Time to start the age of ska!

Refrain

Leaders we need none, for we won’t risk our freedom
Better bring some weed on, time to get the beat on!

Refrain

All around you things seem to go wrong The earth might be collapsing before long Droughts and floods and storms, never mentioning the wars Oh, ain’t that dreary? Don’t let it drag you down, we can turn the wheel around Don’t get weary!

Shape the world anew It’s the only thing to do To provide a way To a brighter day

Angry old white man upon the screen You hear his words, you don’t like what they mean His hate, his pride, his lies and the truth that he denies Oh, what a moron! Tell it like it is, time’s up for shit like this Or am I wrong?

Refrain

Sounds so simple, but it’s true: It is up to me and you To make a difference! Excuses are too cheap, for what we sow we’ll reap So, let’s commence

Refrain

There is something going on
and you’ve waited for so long
and you know that good old saying
what doesn’t kill you makes you strong

Here I come - Here we go
Here I come - you can’t stop me, no

There’s a late night Jamboree
satisfaction guaranteed
Have a good old rockin’ jam
I came late, but here I am

There are times you look for fun
And it seems you can’t fi nd none
And it seems I kept you waiting
But I only took a run

Here I come - Here we go
Here I come - you can’t stop me, no

There’s a late night Jamboree
satisfaction guaranteed
Have a good old rockin’ jam
I came late, but here I am

Intro: Wehrt euch, leistet Widerstand Gegen den Faschismus hier im Land!

Verse: Nur weil du hier geboren bist, willst du was Besseres sein? Machst hinter dir die Grenzen dicht, kein Mensch soll hier mehr rein! Mit deiner Pseudo-Arier-Gang am altbekannten Ort Planst du für die, die durch dein Raster fallen, den Abtransport. Hast Angst vor allen neuen Ideen, die nicht die deinen sind Und glaubst die alten Lügen von vorvorgestern blind. Bist taub für all das Leiden, für die Schreie in der Nacht Du kennst den echten Hunger nicht, du kennst nur den nach Macht!

Pre-Chorus: Hass ist nie die Lösung, es liegt in deiner Hand!

Chorus: Wehrt euch, leistet Widerstand Gegen den Faschismus hier im Land! Auf die Barrikaden, auf die Barrikaden!

Verse: Behalt dein blaues Herz für dich! Mir ist es viel zu klein. In einem Land, wie du es planst, hab’ ich kein’ Bock zu sein. Du sagst: „Wer sagt, was ich so sag, den nennt ihr gleich Faschist!“ Naja sorry, mal ehrlich, Mann, das is’ halt, was du bist: Mit aller Macht das Land regieren, Nazis mit am Tisch, Die schwärzeste der Zeiten nennst du einen „Vogelschiss“. Wieso macht dir die Freiheit Angst, wird dir die Welt zu bunt? Was laberst du von wegen man verbietet dir den Mund?

Pre-Chorus: Hass ist nie die Lösung, es liegt in deiner Hand!

Chorus: Wehrt euch, leistet Widerstand Gegen den Faschismus hier im Land! Auf die Barrikaden, auf die Barrikaden!

Coda: Gib mir ein Land, das für Offenheit steht, Mit ’nem Herzschlag so laut, dass die Erde davon bebt Ein Land, wo ein Wind, der nach Freiheit riecht, weht Gib’s mir, sonst ist es zu spät!

a mañana es el día tu maleta ’tán listas debes llegar por lo menos 4 horas antes al aeropuerto Simón Bolívar no concilias el sueño sientes que tu alma se vacía que inmenso el vértigo se vienen todos los recuerdos de tu vida

Coro Los que se quedan, los que se van Algún día volverán… Los que se quedan, los que se van Algún día volverán…

En otra tierra serás semilla ’na nueva casa, una familia echarás pa’ lante como un elefante valiente primero y constante cuando golpee la melancolía con tus postales, tu música, tu comida dirás con orgullo de dónde vienes saltará tu corazón cuando tú te conectes.

Coro Los que se quedan, los que se van Algún día volverán… Los que se quedan, los que se van Algún día volverán…

¿Dónde está Juan? Ta’ en Panamá (con Valentin) ¿Dónde está Luisa? Está en Suiza. Y Cristina en Argentina y la gorda en Colombia y Ramón en Japón oyendo Oscar de León Patricia en Canadá Esperanza está en Francia Antonio, Aurora, Ivette están en U.S.A. Zurima en India tarareando Simón Díaz y Naida en España y Sofía en Turquía. Vanessa en México Fernando está en Chile La Gocha en Escocia Nicanor en Ecuador Estrella en Italia friendo empanadas Carlito en Alemania Natalie está en Brasil Ana en Dominicana recordando Choroní El Cumanés en Arabia La Maracucha está en Rusia Manuela en Australia pero quisiera estar en Caracas… Algún día volverán…

Algún día volverán Algún día volverán Algún día volverán ¡Algún día volverán!

Melodies creating memories For my heart’s treasuries And so much more to love Histories, good news and mysteries Bringing felicity It made me glad, it made me go’ I turned on the radio

I remember misery and splendor I would know, would know where I would go

When I was down, I turned you on You’d play a happy song And you knew well how to make me sing Now this song is for you

Melodies creating memories For my heart’s treasuries And so much more to love Histories, good news and mysteries Bringing felicity It made me glad, it made me go’ I turned on the radio

Good news, bad news Nobodies and ’who’s whos’ You had so much to say, so much to show

When I was low, you’d lift me up And I could never get enough Looks like these days you’ve gone out of style but this song is for you

Melodies creating memories For my heart’s treasuries And so much more to love Histories, good news and mysteries Bringing felicity It made me glad, it made me go’

You have younger sisters who May look sexier than you They don’t know half of what you do

Melodies creating memories For my heart’s treasuries And so much more to love Histories, good news and mysteries They bring felicity They make me go!

Turn on the Radio!

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

out to live my life on a saturday
beautys everywhere and one who stared at me
we ended up lying in the springtime grass (springtime grass)
safer sex is hip, rubbers what i miss but

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

i love snowboarding in the danger zones
take a chance stagediving at the Kelly Family
i ride a train, skanking on the top (on the top)
do the bungie jumping without a rubberband

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

no risk, no fun

i cross the street during rush hour
strangers talk to me and i just follow
life is much to boring, mum told me all the time
now she died while doing ultimate fighting

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

no risk, no fun
is what my mother said

no risk, no risk, no risk, no risk, no risk, no risk, no fun
no risk, no risk, no risk, no risk, no risk, no risk, no fun
