Lyrics:
Got one chance, infiltrate them
Get it right, terminate them
The Panzers will, permeate them
Break their pride, denigrate them
And their people, retrograde them
Typhus, detriate them
Epidemic, devastate them
Take no prisoners, cremate them
Burn
Going to war,give'em hell
D-Day, next stop Normandie
Beginning of the end
We know how to and sure as shit we'll win
War is peace sure man
A retreat for the damned
A playground for the demented
A heaven for those who walk this world
Bereft of heart and soul
Love and war they say all is fair
Take his life
But won't take his hair
Your body has parts your
Country can spare
By the way son here's
Your wheelchair
He once had to be all he could be
Now he's nothing for no one nowhere to see
Funny thing, he's like you & me
It's a funny thing, a funny thing
Tears streak his solemn stare
Abandoned for wreckage nobody cares
No one knew what would happen there
No one spoke no one even dared
Don't ask what you can do for your country
Ask what your country can do for you
Take no prisoners, take no shit
Take no prisoners, take no shit
Take no prisoners, take no shit
Take no prisoners, take no shit
Take no prisoners, take no shit
And I look to my left
And I look to my right
And I'm looking for a man
I'm looking for a sign
I don't want to be the prisoner
The prisoner lives in Camden Town
Selling revolution
The prisoner loads his tracking arm up
With self-disillusion
Your mother does the washing up
Your old man digs the garden
You're only free to dodge the cops
An' bunk the train to stardom
Any day now, you'll call me up on the phone
Say you love me more than you ever did before
It's all that I can do right now
To make it up to you somehow
And meet you on the other side of home
Take no prisoners here in this knockdown, drag-out war
That we're waging on each other forever more
It's all that I can do right now
To make it up to you somehow
And meet you on the other side of home
Say you love me now
It's all that I can do right now
To make it up to you somehow
And meet you on the other side of home
Take no prisoners here in this knockdown, drag-out war
That we're waging on each other forever more
That we're waging on each other forever more
I'm too tired to be bored
I'm too bored to be tired
And the silence is so deafening
It's like picking at a sore
I'm too mental to go crazy
I'm too drunk to be pure
And my mind is playing tricks on me
And I can't sleep tonight 'cause I'm so tired
I can't take it anymore
With all the liars
Like a prisoner of war
I don't want your sympathy
I don't want your honesty
I just want to get some peace of mind
It's only in my head
As I roll over and play dead
I don't want to hear it anymore
It's good to see you but I really must admit
There's an odor in the air and I think you look like shit
I can't stand from falling down
I'm too sick to throw up
Everyone keeps talking and they can't shut the fuck up
'Cause I'm so tired
I can't take it anymore
With all the liars, like a prisoner of war
I don't want your sympathy
I don't want your honesty
I just want to get some peace of mind
It's only in my head as I roll over and play dead
I don't want to hear it anymore
I don't want your sympathy
I don't want your honesty
I just want to get some peace of mind
It's only in my head as I roll over and play dead
I don't want to hear about it
I don't want to scream about it
I don't want to hear it anymore
Everybody's talkin 'bout,
Planet earth
Rebirth
United nations
Good relations
Space stations
Starvation
Radiation
Salvatioin
Education
Liberation
Chorus:
All we are saying is: "give peace a chance !"
Everybody's talkin' 'bout
Civil war
Revolution
Armageddon
No solution
Are we facing
Vietnam
We don't want to
Drop the bomb
Chorus
Everybody's talkin 'bout
Acid house
Gay spouse
Green house
Heavy metal
Hip hop
Censorship
Has to stop

Everybody's talkin 'bout (cyndi's part)

Cancer cells
From the sun

Crazy beast

Sing for peace
Chorus ...
While a prisoner of war in Korea
Surrounded by guards and barrbed wire
I dreamed of returnin' to you, dear
Oh, that was my heart's one desire
Now at last I am free and returnin'
And I'm thankful to God up above
I'm no longer a prisoner of war, dear
But I'm still a prisoner of love
(spoken)
These past years, my darlin' were like a nightmare to me
But through all the hardships and the suffering it seemed
Like your face I could always see
Seems like you gave me the courage and the will to live
When I was so heartsick and blue
And my lonely hours seemed to fly quickly by, dear
When I was thinking of you
Ya know, honey, I didn't receive all of your letters
Till way after the truce was signed
But now that I've read them all over
I hope, dear, that you haven't changed your mind
Gee, now soon this plane is gonna be landin' and
I hope you'll be waitin' there for me
The minutes are draggin' by like hours now
What's my fate to be
In the crowd, dear, I see you there wavin'
And I'm thankful to God up above
For this ole' plane has just hit the runway
And I'm safe in the arms of my love
Please wake me when I'm free
I cannot bear captivity where my culture I'm
Told holds no significance
I'll wither and die in ignorance
But my inner eye can c a race
Who reigned as kings in another place
The green of trees were rich and full
And every man spoke of beautiful
Men and women together as equals
War was gone because all was peaceful
But now like a nightmare I wake 2 c
That I live like a prisoner of poverty
Please wake me when I'm free
I cannot bear captivity
4 I would rather be stricken blind
Than 2 live without expression of mind
There's a line that is drawn through the ages
On that line stands an old rugged cross
On that cross, a battle is raging
To gain a man's soul or it's loss
On one side, march the forces of evil
All the demons, all the devils of hell
On the other, the angels of glory
And they meet on Golgotha's hill
The earth shakes with the force of the conflict
And the sun refuses to shine
For there hangs God's son, in the balance
And then through the darkness he cries
It is finished, the battle is over
It is finished, there'll be no more war
It is finished, the end of the conflict
It is finished and Jesus is Lord
Yet in my heart, the battle was still raging
Not all prisoners of war had come home
These were battlefields of my own making
I didn't know that the war had been won
Oh, but then I heard the king of the ages
Had fought all the battles for me
And that victory was mine for the claiming
And now praise his name, I am free
For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner,
A slave to the ways of the powers that be.
And I fear for my children, as I fear for the future I see.
White bolt of lightning
Came out of nowhere
Blinded the darkness
Creating the storm
War in the heavens
Vengeance ignited
Torment and tempest
Attacks like a swarm
Forged out of Flame
From chaos to destiny
Bringer of pain
Forever undying
Judas is Rising
Eternal betrayer
Ice cold and evil
Taking no prisoners
Dark prince of the world
Humanity trembles
Enslaving you sinners
You can't beg for mercy
For none will be saved
The burden of sin
Echoes the prophecy
Ascending from hell
Forever despising
Judas is Rising
Their faith is revealed
Deceivers are crying
By crucified steel
Evangelizing
Judas is Rising
Judas is Rising
Time is a monster that lives in our clocks
It's heartless and shows no remorse
Consuming our future as we fight
That hundred year war
Time is a soldier steady and true
Relentlessly trudging along
And time takes no prisoners
Nothing but time marches on
Time is a weapon, it's cold and it's cruel
It knows no religion and plays by no rules
Time has no conscience, when it's all said and done
Like a beast in the jungle that devours it's young
You can burn up the highway fly like the wind
Run down those long shiny rails
But time's right behind you like a hound dog
That's hot on your trail
But we're all in the same boat so just hold on
And ride to the end of the line
Time waits for no one
Everyone runs out of time
Time is a weapon, it's cold and it's cruel
It knows no religion and plays by no rules
Time has no conscience, when it's all said and done
Like a beast in the jungle that devours it's young
I'd give anything to see
A little Christmas tree
And to hear, hear the laughter
Of children playing in the snow
To kiss my baby, under the mistletoe
But I can't promise my eyes this sight
Unless they stop the fight
'Cause I'm a prisoner of war
Lying here in my cell
Hoping my family is well
Wish they wouldn't worry so much about me
Just try to get us home
In time for the Christmas tree
Listen, oh yeah, oh
I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
I want to hear jingle bells ring
Want to hear jingle bells ringing
But I can't promise my eyes this sight
Unless they stop the fight
Ooh, ooh, ooh
If I can't make it home in time
I know you'll be keeping my spirit bright
By wearing my name and trying to stop this fight
Ah, but I'd give anything to see you the family
And that little Christmas tree
I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Oh, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Yes, I want to hear jingle bells ringing
Oh, I want to see snowflakes fall
I want to see Santa Claus
Climb on board
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
Hold me hard and mellow
I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me
'Body but us, bodies together
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you
So we'll piss off the neighbors
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
Pillow talk
My enemy, my ally
Prisoners
Then we're free, it's a thin line
I'm seeing the pain, seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me
'Body but us, bodies together
I love to hold you close, tonight and always
I love to wake up next to you
So we'll piss off the neighbors
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone
Paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
War zone, war zone, war zone, war zone
So we'll piss off the neighbors
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw
In the bed all day, bed all day, bed all day
Fucking and fighting on
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
It's our paradise and it's our war zone
I'm no stranger to the thick smoke of a bar
And heart chained to a bottle of whiskey
And I've held strangers in my arms
To pull apart the bars
Because I couldn't find the key
I've searched high and low
Been to hell and back
Been a prisoner to my soul
And all I know is that
The price of being free it don't come cheap
That's why people fight for it, rise for it
Burn up the night for it
Cry for it, pine for it
Cross rivers wide for it
Once you've held the truth
There's nothing you won't do
And when I look into your eyes
I know why people died for it
Freedom loving you feels like freedom
You're the red, the white, the blue
The stars that cover the scars
When we broke the shackles
And I've never been to war before
But your boots there on the floor
Are proof that I've won the battle
And all you had to give to me
Was the gift of being free
That's why people fight for it, rise for it
Burn up the night for it
Cry for it, pine for it
Cross rivers wide for it
Once you've held the truth
There's nothing you won't do
And when I look into your eyes
I know why people died for it
Freedom loving you feels like freedom
I've searched high and low
Been to hell and back
Been a prisoner to my soul
And all I know is that
The price of being free it don't come cheap
That's why people fight for it, rise for it
Burn up the night for it
Cry for it, pine for it
Cross rivers wide for it
Once you've held the truth
There's nothing you won't do
And when I look into your eyes
I know why people died for it
Freedom loving you feels like freedom
Oh freedom loving you feels like freedom
Freedom loving you feels like freedom
Freedom
He grew up in some forgotten midwest town
His mama raised him well
Barely getting by, but he'd be okay
As far as he could tell
Oh, the plant in town closed ten years ago
Now an empty ghost ship stands
For the last nine months he's tried to find a job
But there's nothing to be had
So he signs up to fight for Uncle Sam
It's the only choice he's got
To fight a desert war with another land
Only to find peace or not
He's a moving target in a desperate place
Every day is a twist of fate
Oh, his family wonders if he'll make it home
Knowing his faith's his saving grace
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Keep them all out of harms way
Harms way
Oh, they sent him home to his family
Nursing wounds that no one sees
Certain scents and smells trigger flashback spells
That rewind the tragedy
All these memories hold him prisoner
Cause of the violence he regrets
What was his ticket out is his nightmare now
In a war he can't forget
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Now he's waking up in a strange land
To face an even stranger day
Brave ones, standing tall
Keep them all out of harms way
Keep them all out of harms way
Harms way
I am the son of a grassland farmer
Western Oklahoma nineteen forty three
I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free
I gave up my father to South Korea
The mind of my brother to Vietnam
Now there's a banker who says I must give up my land
There are four generations of blood in this topsoil
Four generations of love on this farm
Before I give up I would gladly give up my right arm
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
I had a son and my son was a soldier
He was so like my father, he was so much like me
To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be
He gave up his future to revolution
His life to a battle that just can't be won
For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun
I remember the nine hundred days of Leningrad
The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold
I remember the moments I prayed I would never grow old
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner
A slave to the ways of the powers that be
And I fear for my children, as I fear for the for the future I see
Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other
What does it take for a people to learn
If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn
What are we making weapons for
Why keep on feeding the war machine
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
Take it away from the hands of the poor
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
Have we forgotten
All the lives that were given
All the vows that were taken
Saying never again
Now for the first time
This could be the last time
If peace is our vision
Let us begin
Have we forgotten
All the lives that were given
All the vows that were taken
Saying never again, never again
Now for the first time
This could be the last time
If peace is our vision
Let us begin, let us begin
I used to think that New York City
Fell from grace with God
And innocence abroad
Waged a war for the underdog
When the snow falls
And Central Park looks like a Christmas card
I just looked beyond the bagman
And the madness that makes this city hard
I heard a basketball
Somewhere out beyond a chain link fence
Inner city prisoners
Argue for the right of self-defense
But there's a fast break
And every work of art wakes something in the soul
Just focus on the brush strokes
And the bouquets that the dancers hold
Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisa's getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city that
That took away the kid in me
I used to think that New York City
Fell from grace with God
And innocence abroad
Waged a war for the underdog
When the snow falls
And Central Park looks like a Christmas card
I just looked beyond the bagman
And the madness that makes this city hard
I heard a basketball
Somewhere out beyond a chain link fence
Inner city prisoners
Argue for the right of self-defense
But there's a fast break
And every work of art wakes something in the soul
Just focus on the brush strokes
And the bouquets that the dancers hold
Spanish Harlem still sounds good to me
Yeah Mona Lisa's getting older
Standing in the shadow of Miss Liberty
While I walk along the west side
Down through Little Italy
Searching for the city that
That took away the kid in me
Someone said this war ended with "Peace with honor"
But can there truly be?
Is there such a thing?
Thousands of boys gave their life, and for what?
I am anger
Under pressure
Lost it cages
A prisoner
The first to escape
I am wicked
I am legion
Strength in numbers
A lie
The number is one
I, I, I
Everything that I see is for me
Yes, I am giant
I'm a monster
Breaking windows
In houses
Buildings of glass
Rebel rebel
Holy outlaw
Ride together
Don't try it
The power's in one
I, I, I
I am standing alone
But I can rock you
I, I, I
On the edge of the blade
But the knife can't cut the hero down
I am virgin
I'm a whore
Giving nothing
The taker
The maker of war
I'll smash your face in
But with a smile
All together
You'll never
Be stronger than me
I, I, I
Right here on my own
But I still rock you
I, I, I
Don't follow behind
Just leave me on the outside
I, I, I
I am standing alone
But I can shock you
I, I, I
On the edge of the blade
But no one makes the hero bleed
(No, no, no)
I am hunger
Feed my head
All together
You'll never
Never make the hero bleed
(No, no, no )
Let's welcome home the soldier boy (far away, far away)
No angel of mercy just a need to destroy (fire away, fire away)
Let's toast the hero with blood in his eyes
The scars on his mind took so many lives
Die hard the hunter
Welcome home soldier boy
Put down your pistol, yeah, put down your toy
Yeah, they can take a gun away from you
But never take away your attitude
They can't do that, oh, no no, they can't do that

The only battles in the back of your mind
You don't know how to change from bad to good
You brought the war to your neighborhood
You can't do that, oh, no no, you can't do that
(Die hard) you're caught in a trap
(Hunter) there's no lookin' back
(Die hard) he's lost in the crowd
(Hunter) die hard and proud
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Die hard the hunter
Back in the city, he's a man on the loose
He is the shadow that's following you
He takes no prisoners when he's hunting for game
He's got a bullet and it carries your name
You can't do that, you can't do that
You can't do that, oh, no, no, no
(Die hard) you're caught in a trap
(Hunter) there's no lookin' back
(Die hard) he's lost in the crowd

Message came from outer space
Future of the human race
Help is not gonna hide its face
Let it go, shed your skin
Children never sleep again
You want me for passenger
Take me as your prisoner
I want to be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
I wanna be an alien
Take me, oh, oh
Your instruments can't stop our ships
Soon you'll be up in a fix
The rest will all rule the nest
Let it go, have your day
Spacemen take your cans away
I wanna be your passenger
Take me as your prisoner
I wanna be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
I wanna be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
You must taste our violent fuzz
Your wars are of no use to us
You cannot fix what never was
Let it go, have your day
The media is on its way
I wanna be your passenger
Take me as your prisoner
I wanna be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
I wanna be an alien
Take me please, oh alien
The warship had landed and night come ashore
The fighting was over for me ever more
For I had been wounded they left me forget
A stone for my pillow and snow for my bed
The enemy found me and took me away and made me a prisoner of war so they say
But God in his mercy was with me one day the gate was left open and I ran away
I returned to the old home my sweet wife to see
The home I had built for my darling and me
The door I then opened and there on the stand I saw a picture of her and the man
The clothes she was wearing told me the sad tale
My darling was wearing a new bridal veil
Then I found a letter and these words I read missing in action she thought I was dead
So I kissed her picture and whispered goodbye
My poor heart was breaking but my eyes were dry
I knew it was too late for her now to learn
I knew she must never know I had returned
A vagabond dreamer forever I'll roam
Because there was no one to welcome me home
The face of my darling no more I shall see for missing in action forever I'll be
