Shining Armor

Stupid people - ruling the world
With a whole lot of ends that will never be furled.
It's been coming now for years but it's growing in numbers
clouding up my dreams of a future of wonders
It's time when opinion is outdoing facts
the lies are so common that no one reacts
Energy prices, double-digit inflation
Bigots, disasters, war, and desolation
When I grew up, I thought leaders did what they should
That everyone was in really good hands
But then I saw it was greedy up at the top
and even worse - it was run by ignorants
How could it be - that elected people were bad
Are we all fools to put them in power?
Across the globe, it's the same repeating itself
We just consume and devour
I don't give up, and I still believe
We can get through the dark times ahead
but we need help
Someone to give us a hand
Who will it be? Is there anyone?
is it time to look up in the sky?
Waiting for them?
Hoping that ET will land?
A night - with shining armored ships
Before the total eclipse
It's really bad when disasters pile up a wall
and no one cares but to fill their pockets.
We look away and refuse to hearing the call
Nowhere to go without rockets.
Bribery and greed are a long tradition
But it's time for us to make a big transition
caring 'bout each other is a good beginning
but planning ahead is the way to winning
I want to look at a brighter future
Not just patching up the wounds with a sloppy suture
Will they come?
A night - with shining armored ships
Before the total eclipse
shining armored ships
I feel we're losing our grips

Took a Look

Everywhere there's a sign or a TV-screen tryin' to
sell me some stuff that I'd never would want
I'm sick and tired of the
Cars or the chairs in my face pushing day and night and I
simply don't care. I am done with it now 'cause I just
Took a look - but I didn't like it
So - I looked - away!
You know the
look I took and you couldn't strike
A nerve to make me stay
And so I
Took a look - but I didn't like it
So - I looked - away!
You know the
look I took and you couldn't strike
a nerve to make me stay
Give me a day without somebody wanting me to
be starting to pay for some stuff I don't need
I'm sick and tired of it!
Took a look - but I didn't like it
So - I looked - away!
You know the
look I took and you couldn't strike
a nerve to make me stay
Sure, I am still buying
Some things but
Please leave me alone
I simply want to take my time and
see what you're supplying - in good time
then choose on my own.
And so I
Took a look - but I didn't like it
So - I looked - away!
You know the
look I took and you couldn't strike
a nerve to make me stay
FYI
Took a look - but I didn't like it
So - I looked - away!
You know the
look I took and you couldn't strike
A nerve to make me stay

It Will Come
03:29

Freezing cold, rainy
pouring down
Wating for a train in
my home town
Hoping it will arrive on time but there is still no light to see
And knowing that I can't be late
I've got a big appointment
Nothing could be worse than if I missed it oh what drama it would be
I'm standing alone here
But I am sure it's gonna come!
It's wet here out on the platform
I surely hope that it's really gonna come
Freezing here on my own
And hopin' the train is gonna come
Looking down at my phone
But there is no info about it and my fingers are going so numb
I know I should have taken
The early train
Then I would not be waiting here in vain
Thinking 'bout the environment
Getting rid of my car
Now, there's just a little requirement
The timetable has to be true or I won't travel very far
I'm standing alone here
But I am sure it's gonna come!
It's wet here out on the platform
I surely hope that it's really gonna come
Freezing here on my own
And hopin' the train is gonna come
Looking down at my phone
But there is no info about it and I'm starting feeling so dumb!
I'm standing alone here
But I am sure it's gonna come!
It's wet here out on the platform
I surely hope that it's really gonna come
Freezing here on my own
And hopin' the train is gonna come
Still looking down at my phone
But there is no clue there to tell me when the train is going to come!

A World with 3D Printers
05:02

1981 -
A man, in Japan - Kodama
opened a new dimension.
Insurgence without the drama
Printing in slow ascension
Layer by layer the world started changing
In came a force that was all rearranging
A world with 3D printers
What will it be - like?
Long gone are wooden splinters
Shapes taking form
Whatever you can dream of
Just press a button
Let´s go beyond and way above
That is the norm
Rasin and then with powders.
Lasers to heated nozzles.
Gone were the old dividers
Solving the hardest of puzzles.
Plastic and concrete can both be extruded
Metal and even the cells are included
Remember the craft that made everything possible
when you go beyond what was once - uncrossable

Journey through the walk of life
You will meet different kinds of folk
But they'll know, only what you show them
People are like onion skins
It goes deep so you don't have a clue
who they are
Cortex down to brain stem
I know you thought you knew me
But you were really wrong
Inside it's very roomy
Space for unknowable
Things I do to make you like me
A game I play so well
What makes me shine so brightly?
Truth?
But you never can tell.
I have got the magic touch
I can see, what you don't know yourself
And to fit, become somebody else
I know you thought you knew me
But you were really wrong
Inside it's very roomy
Space, for unknowable things
I could be a secret agent
I could be a millionaire
I could speak with phony accent
Whatever you need I'll be there
But will it be me?
I know you thought you knew me
But you were really wrong
Inside it's very roomy
Space, for unknowable
things I do to make you like me
A game I play so well
What makes me shine so brightly?
Truth?
But you never can tell.
You never can tell!
No, you never can tell!
You never can tell!
