1. Today belongs to us

We all got hopes and dreams,
we wish for to come true
But at the ensd of the day,
none of 'em ever do
So I'm not gonna wait and see,
what the future holds for me
I´m just gonna seize the day,
and take what's within my reach

Today - Today belongs to us

Lives are being thrown away,
by millions in this world
Who're all waiting for opportunities
that'll never come
Life's allready short,
so you gotta give it your best try
You only live once,
so now is the time to do it right

Today - Today belongs to us

So don't ask me,
why I'm living my life from day to day
I'm just enjoying the moment,
sometimes they can never take away
Don't try to fool me
and stop causing all the fuss
I'm just telling you that
today belongs to us

Today - Today belongs to us

2. Timebomb

You're the one - Timebomb
Who has caused this rage - Timebomb
You woke up the devil in me - Timebomb
You let him out of his cage

I'm waiting to explode - Timebomb
You're walking on a tightrope - Timebomb
Hate flows trough my veins - Timebomb
You're driving me insane

You, you had to go on - Timebomb
You forced me into what I've become - Timebomb
You you put me in disgrace - Timebomb
You spit me right in my face

I'm waiting to explode - Timebomb
You're walking on a tightrope - Timebomb
Hate flows trough my veins - Timebomb
You're driving me insane

You'd better say your prayer - Timebomb
The countdown has begun - Timebomb
'cuz six feet under - Timebomb
Life ain't no fun!

I'm waiting to explode - Timebomb
You're walking on a tightrope - Timebomb
Hate flows trough my veins - Timebomb
You're driving me insane

3. Nice boys finish last

My mother used to tell me
That nice boys don't play rock 'n roll
And I guess she was right
'cuz I'm a crazy fuck who's on the rollv
We're gonna play it rough
We're gonna play it hard
The Rock 'n Roll Rebels
Got the winning card

Nice boys finish last

They call us society's rejects
Who don't have a chance in life
Call us the wild ones,
whatever you want
To be a winner is our only strife
We don't play by the book
Ans we don't play ny the rules
By cheating in the game called life
We conquer all the fools

Nice boys finish last

We're always the first
To cross the line
We always leave the good guys
Twenty miles behind
We're gonna play it rough
We're gonna play it hard
The Rock 'n Roll Rebels
Got the winning card

Nice boys finish last

4. Young & Reckless

Ruckin' on the terraces
Going out all night
Drinkin' 'till we drop
And looking for a fight

Young & Reckless - For all those times
Young & Reckless - Who were left behind
Young & Reckless - For all those gone
Young & Reckless - The war is won

Skinheads on the rampage
Fighting in the streets
Earning some respect
The one thing we all need

Young & Reckless - For all those times
Young & Reckless - Who were left behind
Young & Reckless - For all those gone
Young & Reckless - The war is won

Ruckin' on the terraces
Going out all night
Drinkin' 'till we drop
And looking for a fight

Young & Reckless - For all those times
Young & Reckless - Who were left behind
Young & Reckless - For all those gone
Young & Reckless - The war is won

5. Untill this day

I guess there's no one
there's no one in this world
That I can blame,
for all the things that went wrong
I guess there's no one to blame,
for the tears that I shed
When all my dreams were taken away,
that I once used to believe

I've learned my life the hard way
I've learned from my mistakes
But like everybody else
I'm still learning, untill this day

But I'm proud of all the things I've done
I got nuthin' to regret
I'm proud of the person who I am
I will be proud untill the end

I've learned my life the hard way
I've learned from my mistakes
But like everybody else
I'm still learning, untill this day

I've had my share of trouble
I've learned from the past
But every time when I fucked up
I got myself out of the mess

So don't you try to save me girl
'cuz I've been trough higher flames
and don't you try to conform me girl
'cuz I will never - never be tamed

6. Dead end

Old people got taken for a ride,
just out on the streets
Just for a few lousy coins,
they get beat

Junks sharing and dumping
their dirty needles on the streets
Young kids who're just playing outside
catch 'em in their feet

So, I just ask myself,
where is this country going to
Just tell me now,
where is this country going to?

Just to see this all makes me angry,
It makes me wanna cry
I keep thinking what's wrong with us,
I keep asking why

But let me tell you know,
It's a dead end if we carry on this way
I refuse to watch society
down another day

7. Memories

I've known you, since you were ten
It's so hard to lose a friend
But I gotta go on with my life
Without you I gotta survive

You always stood by my side
We shared our tears,
we fought for our pride
We fought for each other
through good & bad
And now there's only the memories left

Memories - From the past
Memories - The only thing that's left
Memories - Here comes the pain
Memories - They will always remain

Sham, The Rejects, those were our roots
We marched the streets with
our steelcapped boots
I remember the laughs,
I remember the joy
I remember all the crazy
nights out with the boys

We were loud & proud
we fought against the world
We fought each other for some stupid girl
We lived our lives, we had our stay
We stepped outta line, we did it our way!

8. Live like a loser, Die like a hero

They call him a walkin' bottle of beer
He stinks like hell, nobody wants him near
Joe has just one passion in life
Boozing away his days is his only strife

Live like a loser, Die like a hero

He knocks at my door, asks me for a dime
Why don't you fuck off joe,
and stop wasting my time
I don't feel one cent of pity for you
Nobody does, we all hate you!

Live like a loser, Die like a hero

Making lots of noise, every night
Joe and his bottles get into a fight
So everybody is gonna be glad
When good 'ol Joe is finally dead!

Live like a loser, Die like a hero

14. Nobody likes us

I've heard it all
a thousand times before
You all got lots of talk,
do you really want to start a war

Nobody likes us - But we don't care!

If you want blood, you've got it,
this time it ain't a game
We're taking no prisoners,
we're going all the way

Nobody likes us - But we don't care!

We're hated by everyone
we didn't come here to make friends
But we don't care anyway
we'll just see where it ends!

Nobody likes us - But we don't care

15. Closing time

It's closing time, once again
Finish your drinks, this is the end
Tomorrow same time, same place again
We're gonna get pissed
with all our friends
