It all began, with daddy all drunk To make the party go on, he put some ACDC At the first riff, I felt stronger, and I stomp And I saw the world in a dark way When it was my turn, I was ready I grew up and I knew, freedom isn’t free Working all the day for a starvation wage Can’t stand it anymore, riff in the head, gas in the bike (road rage) Breaking the line, it means escape of reality That’s right, make your own way ! Breaking the line, it means keep what you need And throw all the weight ! Get good girls, good bottom, and rock n’ roll Oh, and rock n’ roll At some time, they say, rock’s gonna be dead Sound lasting centuries, let the talk spread At some time, they say, rock’s gonna be dead ! More than a style, it’s a spirit, it’s a way to be ! I was sure, It’s an easy life It’s worth the sacrifice Now they tell I’m a mutt Everywhere I stop Whatever If I die, tomorrow I’ve seen a lot in a decade, and your life is empty So glad I lived so much, no jealousy for you. I have no regret, you can judge me with yours, I don’t mind

Choices 03:16
Plenty of choices are offered to you But you don't know what to do So you wait, hesitate, as it would change anything That's how it is when you wait, Losing your attention, closing yourself to the world End of way, no escape, so here I come Crash the rules, crush the trends Oh yeah, feel my rage, oh yeah Plenty of choices are offered to you But you don't know what to do So you wait, hesitate, as it would change That's how it is when you wait Losing your attention, closing yourself to the world End of way with no escape, so here I come Crash the rules, crush the trends Killer riff with a crazy bend yeah Oh no (it's coming at you) One more time (it's coming at you) Someday choosing will be a daydream Future slave (all my choices make my life) Future slave (all my choices make my life) Future slave (all my choices make my life) Future slave (all my choices make my life) Future slave (all my choices make my life) Future slave (all my choices make my life) Future slave (all my choices make my life) Future slave (all my choices make my life)

As every weekend, I go chase easy girls Looking in the bar, spotting a good target As always, I take the same scotch After some drinks, ready to talk idle I make the first move, « What would you like to drink ? » I play her my best catchwords, to catch her attraction I go even further, and I order the best bottle Escorting her at home… (Going upstairs) Sex & money, more money more success The more I spend the more I please I know what women expect Using their weaknesses Sex & money the more I wait The more I waste, do you know the leader ? Still in front of her house, it’s heating up No way she’ll never know my darkest thoughts Nor to say that I think she’s just like the other ones The feeling of finding the perfect one gives her confidence Her smile is a good sign, as the gait Holding her by the hips, her hands on my chest And our touching lips, unlock the door She leaves me there « What the fuck ? » Sex & money, more money more success The more I spend the more I please I know what women expect Using their weaknesses Sex & money the more I wait The more I waste, do you know the leader ? She’s not like the others, I’m going to be tricked This bad girl drives me crazy and I won’t stop there Whatever the price, whatever the price I’ll find the crack Sex & money, more money more success The more I spend the more I lose And that’s what the woman expect Using our weaknesses Sex,money the more I wait, I pay, wait, pay, wait... So who’s leading ?

Tsunami 03:50
World's on fire, hard surrender Human hostility Look what we've done To our pretend blue blue sky You want to flee your duty But there's a single file to die We must be erased, by a Tsunami Breathe a moment, look what we've done We're living on, mountains of bones We just need a wave For crushing us down Crushing us down Our last place will be the abyss Cause we cannot deserve any bliss As high is the wave, as down is our fate God's creation a huge waste World's on fire, hard surrender Good targets for the black reaper Cause Earth's a place crowded by haters Breathe a moment, look what we've done We're living on, mountains of bones We just need a wave For crushing us down Crushing us down ... What appeared in water, disappears in water ...

How to make Daddy proud of me? How to make my mother happy I want to be a leading man Wherever I go, I will be respected “Choose your colors and tell me what you need We’ll give you everything you want If you fight at our side” I will be a hero Guardian of the American flag Wherever we go, we’ve got God’s protection And nothing to fear Stars and stripes give my mom a smile American eagle is flying over my head In a jeep rolling to the sound of bombs I feel a shiver, the dust rises while my body falls Am I a hero if I have a full weapon charger? Was it wrong of me to kill for glory? And I realize that God has no side Daddy isn’t proud of me Everyday he drinks too much whisky Empty bottles stacking up, stacking up at the basement Moms not smiling, she just looks at my cold body It’s my little brother’s turn to be Mom’s hero
