1. GIVE IT BACK
Ask Galeano, of silver-mined bridges from Madrid to Potosi
Black lungs of 8 million native Peruvians whose whispers the wind still carries
Give it back, bring it back, give it back, back to Potosi
Give it back, bring it back, give it back, give it back to Greece
Can you believe this long-standing delusion missing from history’s books?
For centuries now your eyes are not open….
Rue Haute is full of the masks of confusion, the treasures of colonials
Racism, plunder, genocide runs under Leopold’s story of old
Give it back, bring it back, give it back, back to DRC
Give it back, bring it back, give it back, give it back to Greece
Come, come, come to my sweet colony
Now you cant help it if grandad got tempted by fruit hanging ripe on the tree
Dont feel so useless, just care what the truth is…
Truth can you hear it? Just try to come near it, that fruit wasnt grandad’s to take…
If you desire your place in the future, then deal with the ghosts in the past
Give it back, bring it back, give it back, back to DRC
Give it back, bring it back, give it back, give it back to Greece.
2. GULF LIKE ME
Say say my playmate, wont you change that policy?
Transfer my logic, see? Mirror my tragedies
Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the voting shifts
When the moon is round and full,
Gonna shake that house, gonna swing that list
You can come to a match in Qatar
Grab a case full of cash by the bar
Right before the deal is done gonna feed you bribes that’ll blow your (mind)
CHORUS
Your mind has changed, the story’s framed, and God I like it!
The money’s great, give in to fate, and God I like it!
The lobby’s changed the party’s game and God I like it!
The money’s great, give in to fate, and God I like it!
Charge me your daily rate, oil dollars treat you kind
When the moon is round and full, you will pull off tricks that’ll blow my mind
Baby doll, I recognise, youre a hideous thing inside
If ever there were lucky people, its me me me
I know its strange another way to get your work done
Youll never know, unless you go so lets just have fun
X 2
Dream me oh dreamer, down to the floor
Open my hands and let them weave onto yours
Feel me completer, down to my core
Open my heart and let it…bleed onto yours
Feeding on fever, down on all fours
Show you what all that howlings for!
Say say my playmate, wont you change that policy?
Transfer my logic, see? Mirror my tragedies
Got a curse I cannot lift
Shines when the voting shifts
When the moon is round and full,
Gonna shake that house, gonna swing (that list)
Your mind has changed, the story’s framed, and God I like it!
The money’s great, give in to fate, and God I like it!
The lobby’s changed the party’s game and God I like it!
The money’s great, give in to fate, and God I like it!
3. PSYCHO KILLER

4. I’LL NEVER BE YOUR SPITZENKANDIDATIN
I’ll never be your Spitzenkandidatin
My back is broad and it won’t flatten
All I want is a proper democracy
I’ll never be your Spitzenkanditin
I never even, studied German
All I want is a vote for you and me
Running blue is guff
Even red is tough
The greens are stuffed
And the liberals ain’t for me
I’ll never be your Spitzenkandidatin
My back is broad and it won’t flatten
All I want is a proper democracy
Running blue is guff
Even red is tough
The greens are stuffed
And the liberals ain’t for me
You’re a pretty, pretty, such a pretty,
pretty, polity
Come on please, please, please
I’ll tell ya
You can vote me out,
on the street
Vote me out,
with no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out,
put me out of misery
Yeah, all your slickness,
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me,
I can shrug it off
There’s one thing baby,
that I don’t understand
You keep on telling me,
We already got democracy
Running blue is guff
Even red is tough
The greens are stuffed
And the liberals ain’t for me
I’ll never be your Spitzenkandidatin
5. EUROPE I LOVE YOU
Verse I
Europe I love you but youre bringing me down (x 2)
Cause there’s pushbacks from Greece
In a project on peace
Europe I love you cant you chill the fuck out
Europe I love you but youre bringing me down (x 2)
Blackrock, Cargill and Face
Guess who’s gettin the space?
Cause 70% of top Commission meetings are with multinationals
(source Transparency International)
CHORUS
And oh, this year I want humanity
A flicker of solidarity
Is that to much to ask you please?
But oh, are you really listening?
Cause the problem, can you see
Youre never really listening
VERSE
Europe I love you, will you get in the ring (x 2)
Cause its never again
Until it is again
Europe I love you will you get in the ring
And oh, this year I want humanity
A flicker of solidarity
Is that to much to ask you please?
But oh, are you really listening?
Cause the problem, can you see
Youre never really listening
And oh how different it all could be
If youd just let go and let the light in
The future could be different
Europe I love you but youre bringing me down (× 2)
Capsized boat in the med
How many children are dead?
Europe I love you, but this aint who I am
6. CARNIVAL
I will never know, Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now, Come on and love me now
Carnival came by my town today
Bright lights from giant wheels
Fall on the alleyways
And I’m here, by my door, waiting for you
Chorus
I will never know, cause you will never show
Come on and love me now, Come on and love me now
Verse
I hear sounds of lovers
Barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you down the way, to make you mine
In a merry-go-round
Chorus
I will never know, Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
7. TOYS AGAINST FASCISM
Another can of worms
another boat overturns
Yeah, a campsite burns
What’s your line to take?
What’s your line to take.
You got a stupid man
you got a European Klan
Pegida battle plan
What’s your line to take?
What’s your line to take.
A sieg heil-in’ squirt,
you’re an impotent jerk
Yeah, a fascist twerp,
What’s your line to take?
What’s your line to take.
Race profile and spree
I believe the MEP
Cop will rot in hell
What’s your line to take?
What’s your line to take.
Yeah, a cross on fire
by a Christian liar
Politics for hire
What’s your line to take
What’s your line to take.
Yeah, the PM sucks
He’s Putin’s cuck
His shit is out of luck,
What’s the line to take?
What’s your line to take.
Another Nazi attack
skinhead is cracked
Black bloc is back
What’s your line to take?
It’s the line I hate
We’re banging pots and pans
to make you understand
We gotta bury you, man,
What’s your line to take
What’s your line to take.
There’s a human wreck
Takes another paycheck
Easy to forget
What’s the line to take?
What’s your line to take.
What’s your line to take.
What’s your line to take.
And if there’s time…
8. I THINK IT’S MACRON NOW
Europe behave
That’s what they say when we’re together
And watch how you play
They don’t understand and so we’re
Saving on our budgets where we can
Holdin’ on to Uncle Sam’s hand
Tryin’ to hide away from reality
Then the White House changes hands and we tumble to the ground
And then we say:
I think it’s Macron now
There doesn’t seem to be anyone ELSE around
But if it’s Macron now
We’ll have to find some common ground
Look at the way
China knows what we are doin
‘Cause they will shout yeay
At our un-doing but we’re
Saving on our budgets where we can
Holdin’ on to Uncle Sam’s hand
Tryin’ to hide away from reality
Then the White House changes hands and we tumble to the ground
And then we say:
I think it’s Macron now
There doesn’t seem to be anyone ELSE around
But if it’s Macron now
We’ll have to find some common ground
9. LIMIT TO YOUR GROWTH
There’s a limit to your growth
There’s a limit to your growth
Like a car crash in slow motion
Put a hole in the ocean
There’s a limit to your growth
There’s a limit to your growth
Cause we only got 1 planet
And resources have limits
There’s a limit to your growth
There’s a limit to your care
So carelessly there
Is it truth or dare
And does anybody care?
There’s a limit to your growth
Economy’s the only notion
Cooking up a commotion
There’s a limit to your love
BREAK
10. 20TH CENTURY TOY
Man say it’s fine, Man say it’s good
The world’s gone to hell/ just like we knew it would
Pumped all the oil, poisoned the soil
It don’t matter, babe, we had a real good time!
Girl it’s plain to see, we won life’s lottery
Don’t be annoyed, we’re 20th century boys
Friends say it’s fine, friends say it’s good
We’re all goin’ to Mars/ like Elon said we would
Democracy hacks, payin’ no tax
Let ‘em fall through the cracks, babe, we’re gonna have a ball!
Girl it’s plain to see, we won life’s lottery
Don’t be annoyed, we’re 20th century boys
20th century boys, don’t deserve their toys
20th century boys, don’t deserve their toys
20th century boys, don’t deserve their toys
20th century boys, don’t deserve their toys
Man say it’s fine, Man say it’s good
We’re not greedy or vain/ you misunderstood
We’ll do what it takes, just give us tax breaks
We can fix it babe, ‘cos we screwed it up
Girl it’s plain to see, it’s philanthropy Don’t be annoyed, we’re 20th century boys
11. ASK ME (The other Orban Song)
Liberals are nice and but liberals can stop you
From doing all the things in life you’d like to X 2
So if there’s something you’d like to try
But not LGBTI
Ask me, I wont say no, how could I?
Wokeness is nice, but wokeness can stop you
From saying all the things in life youd like to
So if theres something youd like to try
Poke a migrant in the eye
Ask me, I wont say no, how could I?
Spending warm summer days indoors
Writing tedious bile, to a toothless court in Luxembourg
Ask me, ask me, ask me x 2
Because if its not love then its Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban
That will bring us together
Magyar is a language cant you read?
So ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me
Because if its not love then its Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban
That will bring us together
Because if its not love then its Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban, Orban
That will finish us forever
So ask me, ask me, ask me
12. HERE COMES SCHUMAN
I’ve been to many cities
They all have traffic circles too
Rome has the Venezia
Berlin the Grosser Stern
Madrid the Glory-etta
Paris the Place de l’Eh-eh-toile
But don’t take for granted
The roundabout in Euroland
It’s been round so long (so long)
It deserves a song
Here comes Schuman
Here comes Schuman
Here comes Schuman!
Big shake from the cops on duty
Big shake at civil society
Let’s make it even safer
And protests get priority!
It’s been around so long (so long)
It deserves a song
Here comes Schuman
Here comes Schuman
Here comes Schumaaaaan!
Here comes Schumaaaaan!
Yahooooooooooooooo
Yahoooooooooooooo
It’s been around so long (so long)
It deserves a song
Here comes Schuman
Here comes Schuman
Here comes Schuman!
Here comes Schuman!
13. FOUR DAYS A WEEK
Ooh I need to work babe, yes you know its true
But Im pretty sure babe four full days will do
CHORUS
80…percent…working…consumption
Its called the 80% movement
4 days a week
Love my job most days girl, generally on my mind
But lets face those facts girl, I need my leisure time
CHORUS
4 days a week, Id love to
4 days a week, is just enough to show I care
Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Chorus
14. SMALL TOWN TOY
15. GLORYBOX
I’m so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I’ve been a temptress too long
Just…
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a European
I just wanna be a European
From this time, unchained
We’re all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room, yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a European I just wanna be a European

17. CREEP / CHEAP
When you were in Greece
Couldn’t look us in the eye
You saw us like numbers
Our debt made you cry
You gloat about surplus
In a spendthrift world
I wish I was frugal
You’re so fuckin’ frugal
But yer so cheap
Your debt’s nearly zero
What the hell am I doin’ here
I don’t belong here
You don’t care if it hurts
You wanna have control
You wanna perfect proxy
For your stingy soul
Your fiscal paradise
Wears the tax haven crown
So fuckin’ frugal, I wish I was frugal
But yer so cheap
Yeah your debt’s nearly zero
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here
I’m running out of the euro (run)
I’m running out, I run, run, run, run, run…
Whatever makes you happy
Shift all the profits you want
You’re so fuckin’ frugal, I wish I was frugal
But you’re so cheap
I don’t want your euro
What the hell am I doin’ here?
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
