One Must Try (2020)

Lazy, I’m in my bed, heavy as lead 

Darkness all around 

Crazy out of my mind, seem to be blind 

Purpose can’t be found 

How dare you give me advice? 

You don’t know how I feel! 

Rage Sundays, anger and fear 

Self-destruction is real. 

Lazy, I'm here all day, won't go away 

to change the world oh no 

Amazing how easy one falls, when no one calls 

When there’s no place to go 

How dare you give me advice? 

You don’t know how I feel! 

Rage Sundays, anger and fear 

Self-destruction is real. 

Will somebody find me 

   doing nothing wasting all my time? 

(Time) is rare but I say 

   there’s no point in going on these days  

(Days) are long I feel dead inside  

   but I realize that something’s to be done  

(Done) nothing so far but 

   anyhow there has to be a way 

I have to get up now. I have to open the door.
I have to get up now. Get some air.
I have to get up now. I have to open the door.
I have to get up now. Grab my keys.

Sun is dying, time is flying away. 

Big red ball eats us all in one day. 

It's not a mystery, no damnation or curse 

Because it happens in the whole universe all the time.

Now and then.  

But there's still time 

As they say seven billion years 

So we'll be fine, oh yeah. 

The sun will shine 

We won't live for seven billion years 

We'll be fine, oh yeah. 

Still opposing, we’re still closing our eyes. 

Fear and pain, it’s insane all these lies. 

Lust for glory, territory and gold 

Is this the story, that you’ve been told all the time?  

For so many times?

But there's still time 

As they say seven billion years 

So we'll be fine, oh yeah. 

The sun will shine 

We won't live for seven billion years 

We'll be fine, oh yeah.

Where are we from? - I don’t know 

Where do we go? - I don’t know  

So how can you say that you know it all? 

Perceptions can fall - Still don’t know 

We tear down a wall - Still don’t know 

So how dare you say that you know it all? 

You fear the dark, you fear the big question mark

But I, I don’t need no stopgaps 

And I don’t need fairy tales 

Cause I, I don’t feel uneasy 

When I learn I was wrong 

Wrong all the time! 

Some will dictate - This I know 

They will not debate - Yeah, I know 

They say it’s your fate, you’d better believe 

They rebuild a wall - Did you know? 

They make you feel small - Did you know? 

They make you believe that you’re nothing at all 

You fear the dark, you fear the big question mark 

But I, I don’t need no stopgaps 

And I don’t need fairy tales 

Cause I, I don’t feel uneasy 

When I learn I was wrong 

Wrong all the time! Wrong, wrong, wrong...

Can blame your mother  

Can blame your father if you want to  

Can blame your teachers  

Can blame every one you’ve met so far  

But I tell you, you must change now  

There’s a lesson to be learned 

No, there is no cash cow

and respect must be earned 

All you special snowflakes  

you don’t know what it takes 

To be part of the game 

it’s a shame, it’s a shame. 

I blame your ego 

I blame your lack of will, your credo 

I blame indifference  

I blame myself for ignoring this all the time 

Oh I tell you, you must change now  

There’s a lesson to be learned 

You don't have no cash cow 

and respect must be earned 

All you special snowflakes  

you don’t know what it takes 

To be part of the game 

it’s a shame, it’s a shame.

All the fruits I love!

You may speak to the crowd 

Free your mind, speak out loud 

Clear your throat, climb the stage 

Write it down, fill the page 

But beware, Jules is there 

She is listening everywhere 

One mistake and you're done  

Soon you are done! 

Even though you are right  

you will lose every fight 

Jules protects those who feel 

the offences are real 

False accuse, can't defend 

sentenced quickly in the end 

One mistake now you're done 

baby you're done! 

So when she hears you, you’d better run away 

No excuse, no regret  

will be heard, well you're dead 

She decides who can live,  

she will never forgive 

Every word has been checked  

she’s "politically correct"

One mistake and you're done;  

baby you're done! 

So when she sees you, you’d better run away
You did not follow the rules.
You never follow the rules.
So says Jules.

I never look back, there’s nothing to see 

My mind fades to black, my past’s haunting me 

When I was a boy I learned how to play 

Some things hit me hard and made me this way 

So I'm connected to crime  

So I'm connected to crime  

But I’m longing to be better (Oh I'm longing to be good)

I’ll be fighting for a change (Oh I'm fighting for a change)

I will try it somehow, but the time is not now 

No, oh no.

Before I can change, there’s something to do 

Some deals to arrange, some goals to pursue 

So I’m committing a crime  

A crime for the last time 

But I’m longing to be better (Oh I'm longing to be good)

I’ll be fighting for a change (Oh I'm fighting for a change)

I will try it somehow, but the time is not now 

No, oh no.

We've been fighting for so long 

Still we disagree 

Who can tell what's right what's wrong?  

Neither you nor me. 

When there's nothing left to say 

It is time to end the day 

Oh my sunset, I need you sunset 

When the signs are pretty clear 

Cause we've emptied our last beer 

Let's watch the sunset, oh yeah the sunset  

for a while 

When there's no one left in town 

And the sun is going down 

That's my sunset, I love you sunset
with all my heart 

Twinkle, twinkle little star 

How I wonder what you are 

My mamma sang, she held me dear 

But times have changed, I'm full of fear 

Why should I count sheep? 

I don't want to sleep  

My mind is full of scars. 

We're just dust of stars. 

The mirror shows what I've become 

A heap of genes, some sort of scum 

We're not blessed, we're just memes 

And we're obsessed with our dreams 

Why should I count sheep? 

I don't want to sleep  

My mind is full of scars. 

We're just dust of stars. 

Everything will be alright,

sleep my dear, good night. 

Everything will be alright, ...right, right, right? 

Don’t you know it’s just a matter of time 

When fortune goes she leaves her shadow behind. 

Enormous wealth blindfolding our mind 

And this we call the superior kind 

Be your own best friend you’ll see 

When mother nature gets the upper hand you’ll bleed

Be your own best friend you’ll see 

When mother nature gets the upper hand you’ll bleed 

Won't you bow your head down and cry
Your overload broke all the spokets to climbe
It's morals clothes that give us warm when we die
And yet you hold on to what glitters and shines

Be your own best friend you’ll see 

When mother nature gets the upper hand you’ll bleed

Be your own best friend you’ll see 

When mother nature gets the upper hand you’ll bleed

It’s strange what I see when I step back 

and look at myself, is it me or is this a parody? 

Woke up so desperate and then searched for the key 

Gotten rid of the chains and now I’m free. 

Back on the tracks, all systems run 

Not looking back - life goes on, on and on 

Back on the tracks, let the motor run 

Not looking back - life goes on, on and on 

I've got nothing, nothing to hide 

Show you everything with pride  

There’s been anger, there's been pain 

Trained my senses, used my brain 

Tasks ain’t easy when time flies by 

Well it's hard but one must try  

Forever! Forever! Forever! Forever!
