This song is instrumental

(m&l - grosskopf)
I'm always on the run with my guitar and my old shoes
I'm movin' and i'm groovin' and i really got the blues
I'm always havin' fun and i've got nothin' left to lose
I never tune my guitar 'cause i like the way it grooves

Sitting in a sleazy bar i'm slowly goin' down
I ain't got no more money but i know you'll be around
Early in the morning and the first kiss isn't far
I ain't got nothing better than my girl and my guitar

We're rockin' and we're rolling and we don't know what we do
We play so loud and out of tune i need a new tattoo
We don't give a damn-shit we five horsemen on the run
We only wanna go out there and have a lot of fun

Sitting in a sleazy bar i'm slowly goin' down
I ain't got no more money but i know you'll be around
Early in the morning and the first kiss isn't far
I ain't got nothing better than my girl and my guitar

Take me through the night and i will always be with you
Feel me, touch me, hear me, yes i love the things we do
Love me and i show you just the way i love you too
We belong together and i never let you go

(m&l - parfitt)

How can i see what i'm leaving for?
How can i give what i gave before?
How can you tell me that you want me to stay?
How can i stay when i'm trying to say,
That i can't live without the rain,
Yes i cant live without the rain.

How can i feel what i'm trying to feel,
How can i move when i'm heel to heel,
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eye,
But i can't answer cos my eyes are so dry.
Now i can't live without the rain.
Yes i can't live without the rain.

I cant live without the rain,
That's falling on my head,
Rain that's falling on my head.

Rain that's falling,
Rain that's falling,
Rain that's falling on my head.

I'd started thinking back to you when,
I'd like to send a line but then again,
How can i write you when there aint no light,
I'm feeling tight tonight but that's alright.
Now i can't live without the rain,
Yes i can't live without the rain.

Daily in the news and on the screen
They wanna show you how to look like
How to be a star
But if you bignosed without muscles
You are not attractive
You don't fit in what's so popular
Four pounds too much without a suntang
Selfrespect is fading
They already tooked away your pride
California dreamgirl with her brain down in her pussy
You will never reach her you're too small

Wake up all you idiots don't close your eyes
And see there is only one thing you can be
This is just you and nothing else
Start to believe all in yourself
Stop to running after visions you don't need

Who is in the mirror
Do you really trust this face
Smiles at you so bad and ugly
This is not yourself anymore
Will a soul feel well in plastic bodies
Where it don't belong
Silicon and lifted faces
Don't you really know who you are

Don't try to hide
If you don't look like monroe
The smile on your face this is real
Just be yourself that's the deal

California dreamman
With a smile made out of plastic
Juicy woman dreams that you can buy
Selling you a dream so far away
And so fantastic until you realise you won't get high

Now you're close to suicide
Your dream bursts like a bubble
All the gossip you once liked is gone
Your addiction to be skinny is driving you to madness
I hope now you can see what you have done

(m&l - kiske)

You hide, won't fight
Avoid the daylight
Give in, won't win
No try to make it right

Why don't you stop crying
Stop your painful dying
Why don't you give your life a sense

One game, one aim
But you're always sleeping
One light so bright
In darkness you're creeping

Why don't you use your head
Step out of your warm bed
And stop being on anxious rat

Run - for your destination
Fly - to the sun
Don't give a damn what the people may say
It's like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you don't risk anything one day you'll pay

Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose

No pride, no right ?
In your heart is more strength
You know, i know
Your destiny's in your hand

Now you have this time
To survive don't be blind
In this world where so many can't see

Try - to catch the key
Make - that you can see
The light of your life your way to go
It's like a chain on your leg
When you always look back
If you don't risk anything one day you'll pay

Don't run for cover
Don't cry alone
Make a step on your stairway
One step closer to what you live for
Don't run for cover
Don't throw away
The only chance that you got
To be the fire in a hot life you choose

(m&l - kiske)

You hear the people talking you walk the wrong street
Painting all things black and step on your feet
Flabby stomach, styled hair, trousers full of air
Their morality is real ours isn't there

They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on

They just call us savage
That's what i like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be

See the people wonder we run in our direction
Let the narrow-minded sleep we better do some action
Across the universe you smell the smell of lies
I'm trying to be the winner not the sacrifice

They don't know, no they can't see
Our hearts close to the sun
Different in our hearts filled with
That faith we carry on

They just call us savage
That's what i like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be

See them run they know no fun
And look what they have done
In this world full of rules
We look just like fools

I know what they think when i see them lookin' at me (savage)
We come close every day to the time table life
So mart they start their backwards fight
I know what they think when i see them lookin' at me (savage)
One day they will drop the bomb
Cause it's necessary to show the power
One day they will give a shit on what you say

They just call us savage
That's what i like to be
Let them call us savage
Cause that's what we like to be

Ice cold metalmonster creeping
Through the darkest night
Heart of gold and steel
Because i don't know what to write
Pins and chains and bullet-bells round my metal chest
All that shit looks good on me even if i'm getting fat

Squeeze my ass into leather pants
It needs to be so tight
Tons of beer and alcohol
It brings me through the night

Cut in the middle
Couldn't hurt me too bad if i weren't here
Can someone tell me what it's all supposed to mean
The answer isn't really clear

In a world of lines and pills that where i wanna be
Look at me i am dangerous i lost reality
I look into the mirror babe, i tell you what i see
Is my awful crabface really dirty smiling at me

And sometimes i feel so down and depressed and
What i do is to remember all the past
And my best friend will be the iou

Cut in the middle
Couldn't hurt me too bad if i weren't here
Can someone tell me what it's all supposed to mean
The answer isn't really clear

(m&l carl perkins)

Well it's one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go cat go
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes

For you can knock me down, step in my face
Slander my name all over the place
Do anything that you wanna do
But oh oh honey lay off of my shoes
Well you can do anything
But lay off of my blue suede shoes

You can burn my house, you can steal my car
Drink my liquor from an old fruit jar
You can do anything that you wanna do
But oh oh honey lay off of my blue suede shoes
You can do anythind but don't step on my blue suede shoes

Well it's one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go cat go
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes ...

(m&l - grosskopf)
To give what i got, to take what i need to live, it ain't easy for me,
Darken my eyes, tell me lies, but all nice, tell me how i have to be,
Get me in your foolish game, destroy my defence, lock me in,
Throw me in your lion's cage, 'cos then i'm out of your way,

Cry with the wolves, run with the pack,
Turn around to save your neck,
'cos someone always keeps you in confusion,
Squeezed in a box, who'll win the race,
Ask no questions in this case,
What's left is only you and your illusions,

Charity is all your duty, they preach you: sharing your goods is your pride,
Patriotic-love, kill the enemy first, i can hear the other side,
What's the way out of this game? you'll either win or you lose,
I run in circles, who's to blame? is there a way i can choose?

Cry with the wolves, run with the pack,
Turn around to save your neck,
'cos someone always keeps you in confusion,
Squeezed in a box, who'll win the race,
Ask no questions in this case,
What's left is only you and your illusions,

I'm juggling on a rope without a net and hope,
I keep my balance 'cos i see them smile with open jaws,
And if i'm falling down, then i will soon be torn.
A squabble over prey: who gets the best part out of me,
To take the needle is a one-way trip without a coming back,
You take it and you still will see reality'll make upon you.

I see black, i see white
I see the darkness and the light
Life goes up, life goes down
I am the hero and the clown

(i live it up) - yeah
(won't give it up)
I want it all don't wanna fall
(i live it up - won't give it up)
(i want it all don't wanna fall)
I'm pretty sure there must be something worth living for

(walk your way) don't let them tear you apart
(walk your way) don't let them change you
You are here to live and what you take you've got to give

(walk your way) it's just a satellite* from your heart
(walk your way) sometimes it strange though
Life is such a game, don't give it up
Cuz it will never be the same

I'm smoking, i'm soaking
Till there is nothing left to lose
Shit stinks and really smells bad
Step into it - makes you upset

(i live it up) - oh yeah
(won't give it up)
I want it all don't wanna fall, yeah!
(i live it up) - oh yeah
(won't give it up)
(i want it all don't wanna fall)
I'm pretty sure there must be something worth living for

(walk your way) don't let them tear you apart
(walk your way) don't let them change you
You are here to live and what you take you've got to give

(walk your way) it's just a satellite* from your heart
(walk your way) sometimes it strange though
Life is such a game, don't give it up
Cuz it will never be the same

(whoa oh oh oh oh) yeah
(whoa oh oh oh oh) so many different things are waiting to be done
(whoa oh oh oh oh) (whoa oh oh oh oh)
(whoa oh oh oh oh) so many things but you can put your ears into the sun*
(whoa oh oh oh oh) hey (whoa oh oh oh oh)
(whoa oh oh oh oh) just take your time and you will never be too late
(whoa oh oh oh oh) (whoa oh oh oh oh)
(whoa oh oh oh oh) just take your time don't try to change your fate

(walk your way) don't let them tear you apart
(walk your way) don't let them change you
You are here to live and what you take you've got to give

(walk your way) it's just a satellite from your heart
(walk your way) sometimes it strange though
Life is such a game, don't give it up
Cuz it will never be the same

(m&l - deris)
Do you believe in fate or chances
Design or coincidences
Would you say that all the people
Live their life for good and evil
Some have reached the end of patience
Start to play with god's creation

They know you
Control you
In a game we shouldn't play
Corrupt your heart
And make you part
Of a game we shouldn't play
We run blind
In a game we shouldn't play
Its all a game we shouldn't play

If we shall die now it will happen
If we're good we'll come to heaven
If we shall live it will be so
End your life and you'll see limbo
All is fixed and predetermined
Only time will stretch new sins

He loves you
Alarms you
Of a game we shouldn't play
He tells your heart
To stay apart
From a game we shouldn't play
We run blind
In a game we shouldn't play
Its that kind of game we shouldn't play

Manipulations on the genes
Nuclear contaminated seeds
Clone of the clone in the breeder's zone
Its a game
A game we shouldn't play
We run blind
In a game we shouldn't play
Its that kind of game we shouldn't play

(m&l - grosskopf)

You took me up and you took me down
You managed not to make me frown
I met some dogs, they looked me down
And said: "you're not her only man in town"

Don't you beleive that i feel blue
'cos i know the ones who act the way you do
You kinda ones will always stay the way you are

But i don't care, you don't care, we don't care
Shit happens - let it happen

My sister drove my bentley home
And found she wasn't all alone
She led him in and thought she'd won
He took the car and now he's gone

Don't you believe that i feel blue
There's other thoughts and other things to do
Tho sometimes i think bad luck is going a little
Too far

But i don't care, you don't care, we don't care
Shit happens - let it happen

But i don't care, you don't care, we don't care
Shit happens - let it happen

(helloween)
Kiske:
Well, japan. we've been there, i think, two times now, and it's always been
A great fun playing there. i like the venues. they are sounding very good,
They look very good, and kids over there really appreciate good music and
Stuff. and i think the next time we're gonna play at the budokan, which is
Pretty cool. lookin' forward to it. it's gonna be fun.

Schwichtenberg:
Japan has been always great to play there, and will be in the future. and
Japan people are great, it's fun to play there and you feel very confident
And convinient or whatever to play there. and japanese people are listening
Very carefully, i don't know. it's great to be in japan.

Kiske:
"kids of the century" is the first life sign of us after two and a half
Years. and after all those rumours going around about this band me
Leaving the band, me splitting up, or the band splitting up, and all that
Stuff, which has been quite a lot. maybe that's normal when the band's not
On the scene for a while. but after that it feels really good to have,
Actually, a new album ready and a single out. so the kids know we are still
There. and with the music you can prove what you can do still even without
One guy that just left the band. i think we found the right person there,
Roland. and i think the album says everything. yeah, i wrote "kids of the
Century" about more than two years ago now. and remembering that time i
Feel like, when i wrote that song, i was in that feel of that all the kids
Today, they just feel like they haven't got anything to do with the
Problems. everything goes wrong, the nature or whatever. just came out of
That feeling actually. and that's what the song's all about, i think. what
The kids today...because i feel like everybody's responsible, especially
The kids. if they don't feel like they have to change anything or have to
Make things better, nobody will.

Schwichtenberg:
I think having roland in the band is.. we are as lucky as we have michael
In the band by that time, we are lucky having roland in the band. and he's
Just doing great songs and great guitar work he's doing. and a good pal as
Well. he's a nice fellow. and he just fits in the band very much. i think
The fans will accept him of course.

Weikath:
Well, the nice thing about roland being in the band is that i saw him
Like, i don't know, fifteen years ago or so on stage, and i thought that
Was pretty impressing, what he did there, and i could never forget about
That. and that's why actually i called him up then when we needed another
Guitarist, "remember that guy?". and so it took me, like, four hours to
Find out the number, like i had to phone up musicians i knew and suddenly
Somehow i got the number, and phoned him up: "you might not know me, but i
Know you. how about playing guitar in helloween?" and he didn't even know
The band. so i had to give him some examples of our songs, like really
Loud, cranked it up. and so, well, he was interested, like it quite a lot.
And then we went to rehearsing, we had to do the whole stuff within two
Months. 'cause then we had to go on an american tour and japan meant two
Hours of playing. and well, ha ha, quite a tough job i would say. after
All, i mean, we can handle that, we are pretty good, you know. and i'm
Sorry about that, but well... yeah, roland is a very nice guy. he's
Doing a big part of the band with his character, and his kind of being.
And it's quite a difference too how the whole thing worked before, because
He is a completely different character. he is a lot more calm and very
Critical. he's always got his own opinion and that's exactly what we need.

Kiske:

Yeah, we recorded the album at puk studio in denmark, which is a very good
Studio, i think, very lovely place. it's right in the middle of nowhere
But that's actually what we wanted, to really concentrate on the album.
And working with chris was pretty cool, because he's got a very strong
Sense of humor as we like it. and we had some cool moments there and
That's all caught on the album. yeah, the production that chris
Tsangarides has done is right in your face. that's the best description
Of the sound actually. so just check it out!

Schwichtenberg:
Crystal clear, or...

Kiske:
Crystal tsangarides clear, ha ha!

Weikath:
I would say thank you to everybody who kept up the faith during all that
Time, and after all, those rumours are untrue.

Schwichtenberg:
The best thing for the fans, for the people who like us, is just to listen
What comes from us directly, like this now, and the album of course.

Kiske:
Yeah, especially the album.

Schwichtenberg:
Don't trust any rumours or whatever.

Kiske:
The thing is, forget about what's been in the magazines, or what has been
Said, or all the stuff. and just check out the album and you know what's
Going on. of course, the single as well.

Schwichtenberg:
Thanks for keeping the faith.
