Divine inspiration
Total disillusion
Instant consecration
Mind and body fusion
Frontal assault 
On the seven senses
Orgasmic waste
Eccentric and pretentious

KMFDM
Doing it again
A treat for the freaks
Truth or dare
Are you ready for this?
We don't care

Diefied dada
Hard but true
Godlike nonsense
Being thrown at you

We keep simple
Tough and outright
Easy to swallow
KMFDM light

KMFDM 
Doing it again
A treat for the freaks
Truth or dare
How low can you go?
We don't care

In a world of deceit, open your eyes
(What we do for you, so good for you)
Don't be afraid and you'll realize
(What you do for me, so good for me)
 X 2

One way or another, now or later
Bow down and worship the true creator

(Musik ist Macht
Eine ausgesprochene Verbindung von schlau und dumm
Geräuschsüchtigen wird unter immensem Druck und Leidenschaft größte Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt
Der Heldenriff ist der Froschfresser
Der Rhythmus ein schöner Schwan
Die Worte ein Blutegel an deinem Gehirn
Keiner Macht für dich mehr)

Take a good plunge and out from the masses
Bend over backwards and kick some asses

(What we do for you, so good for you
What you do for me, so good for me)
In a world of deceit, open your eyes
(What we do for you, so good for you)
Don't be afraid and you'll realize
(What you do for me, so good for me)

KMFDM
Doing it again
In a world of deceit, open your eyes
Don't be afraid and you'll realize

Call 1-800 accept no imitation
KMFDM--one world, one nation
