Sad Lonely and bored I take a walk about this town Its walls are old and nobody is really around Under a pale tin sun shallow shades of brand new souls dream of worlds they just made up worlds of chemical galore And there in the end it's all right there we are stuck with our home town Its boulevards that go nowhere plenty of time to stick around... And there in the end it's all right there we are stuck with our home town Its boulevards that go nowhere plenty of time to stick around...

I soliti pensieri non mi toccano ormai più Perché io lì ci ho fatto il callo Vividi rancori non mi mordono quaggiù Perché quando li sento ballo Sordidi umori io non li voglio più Perché non so più stare in stallo Tell me when you are gonna be back into the game Tell me when you do that and then I'll do the same... I soliti sensori non mi captano ormai più Perché mi sono fatto in quattro Uno canta, l’altro balla, l’altro vive e poi Il quarto è sempre un po’ distratto Oh sordidi sensori io non li voglio piu'! Tell me when you are gonna be back into the game Tell me when you do that and then I'll do the same Tell me when you are gonna be back into the game...

Bitter 03:15
Lace me with your dopamines While crawling up my vessels Find a way inside my core That never has enough Because I’m bitter, I’m bitter, I’m bitter Oh you know, I’m bitter, I’m bitter, I’m bitter I saw you on the list And wondered who you were You had no place in there But then you hooked me up and now I’m sweeter, and bitter and sweeter and bitter and sweeter Oh you know, bitter, and sweeter, and bitter and sweeter and bitter Precipitating free fall in your arms Through your layers of deception I'm sure you meant no harm The more I make you mine the more I lose myself A dead end from the start that is still making perfect sense Because I’m bitter, I’m bitter, I’m bitter Because I’m bitter, I’m bitter, I’m bitter du du da da... I guess every relationship Is sort of a trade off You help me feeling whole I’m handing you my soul Because I’m bitter, I’m bitter, I’m bitter you know I’m bitter, I’m bitter, I’m bitter Don’t know how we got here you sweet little infection They came and sliced me off... I thought you were a deal, a strange form of perfection I’ve never been so off... and all that now is left is just so bitter So bitter, so bitter, so bitter Oh so bitter, so bitter, so bitter, So bitter, so bitter, so bitter so-oh

Douche Bag 03:17
I came to live in the US I got to put up with you…ass! I got to finally know you as a Douche Bag! You are so busy being busy, but busy doing what?! I have being busy, it ain’t easy, believe me I have done a lot Maybe you are busy being lazy and to you that’s kind of hot But to me that isn’t cozy, it’s only driving me so nuts I came to live in the US I got to put up with you…ass! I got to finally know you as a Douche Bag! You don’t return all the emails that I take the time to write You let a month go by before doing anything…that’s right! Responsibility is a word that you don’t even get to spell Maybe you can, you just don’t want, with you it’s always hard to tell! I came to live in the US I got to put up with you…ass! I got to finally know you as a Douche Bag! You call me “intense dude”, I’m sorry, sorry I have a soul You think I’m serious and “serious”, oh definitely isn’t “cool” I have emotions and if I dare to let them come outside You raise your eyebrow and shut down, then vanish in the air I came to live in the US I got to put up with you…ass! I got to finally know you as a Douche Bag! “you are so wonderful, amazing, unbelievable, exciting And outstanding and what the hell!, and bla bla bla bla bla bla… I came to live in the US I got to put up with you…ass! I got to finally know you as a Douche Bag!

Psychodrama 03:59
I shot you in the chest and left you in a wasteland your shadow's coming back not welcome in my dreams I drag your open wood box your frozen face, forever happy it's time to let it go and put your body down now I know what I would do to you... I'd use rosebuds for your hips so young they never bloomed a silk magenta scarf I'd wrap around your tepid womb your breasts I'd dye the color of pastures in Greenland I liked to rest in there where time would never end my lips on yours forever sealed I'm ready to let go Psychodrama, hope it works, I hope it takes your image and feeds it to the birds migrating far away in tropical pursuit while singing deep down from their chests this melody for you... "we brought you here with us a boardwalk to the horizon this warm and fruity sand will soothe your bones away dissolving your persistent echo in sweet pineapple dreams your voice will be our chirp your eyes will be the ocean and finally it will be time to rest, rest, rest...

Multitudes 04:11
Multitudes work hard every day to become what they are not Multitudes struggle every day just holding on to what they've got Multitudes meander thousand miles chasing after a big dream Multitudes end up drowning their own souls deep down in the mainstream Multitudes love killing one another in the name of stupid gods Thousand years have gone by and we're still falling for this pointless fraud Is there anything we can do to stop this cyclic mess is there anything we can I'm kind of losing hope here I might confess... Multitudes are marching to the drums of algorithmic math multitudes live under constant threat of soulless drones and psychopaths multitudes cringe at the mere sight of a cute abused pet while they don't bat an eye and carry on in front of fellow humans falling through the net Multitudes, the time is now! Let's all stand up and take a stand!! And help the world reclaim its spirit and its right to mutual freedom, liberation and romance Is there anything we can do to stop this cyclic mess is there anything we can I'm kind of losing hope here I might confess...

Distanti 03:21
Disciolto in un bicchiere, distratto penso a te latte, zucchero o miele sei? Quale sei mai per me? Più osservo e più ti vedo, che cosa vuoi da me? Più sento e più ci credo ormai Che son parte di te… Siamo lontani mondi sai Eppure tu sei qua Mi riempi tutto il cuore e guai Se volo fino là! Parlami ancora un’ora o più Che m’addormenti in te Parlami a bassa voce dai E fammi sciogliere… È strano tutto il giorno sai Finché non sento te, bastan solo due cose e poi rivedo il sole… finirà mai quest’odissea che ho dentro l’anima, non so domani che sarà ma con te in pace sta…allora, regalati a sorpresa dai, spedisciti da me, raccomandata priorità o posta celere! Siamo lontani mondi sai Eppure ora sei qua riempimi tutto il cuore e guai a chi ci fermerà! regalati a sorpresa dai, unisciti con me, a bassa voce dimmi: “dai, non ti fermare…”

it's a south busy Philadelphia morning in our little fish pond trucks are out, people smoke, coffee's brewing All the boots on the ground look at all the old Italians sitting chatting their lives away have you heard this and seen that "how you doing, God Bless!" Hey that's Tony, monkey's got him he was such a good kid he went to jail, he stabbed his mommy now he's on parole and smokes weed This town's a mess, can you believe it? not what it used to be it was all us and it was safe and there was none of that hipster shit there were good rules, and respect home-made tomato sauce did you call it gravy, don't remember Nonna sometimes I feel so lost... it's a south busy Philadelphia evening in our little fish pond trucks are back, people smoke, pasta's cooking all the boots off the ground look, at all the old Italians sitting chatting their lives away have you heard this and seen that "how you doing, God Bless!" Hey, isn't that Gina...poverina her husband's such a dick she's got four kids and a rent to pay he left her to screw that tattooed chick This town's a mess, can you believe it? sure not what used to be... duorme mio splendido Amore accussi' radioso te risveglierai int'a' luce d'un sole ca splende e c'arde pecche' ora sa' ca tu non ce stai piu'....

Libera la mente fratello Abbandona questo modello Infame di regole e condizioni Che ruban solo forza dai tuoi coglioni Libera il tuo cuore fratello Abbandona pure il fardello Immane di mani che pavide Storcono il flusso costante di pure sensazioni Libero del tutto fratello Senti se vuoi questo o vuoi quello E mettiti a fare un po’ cio’ che ti va Ed esci dal ghetto fratello E con coraggio prova a vivere la sfida Che ti porta all’unita’ Che ha..aa..aa..aaa Tutto cio’ che intorno a te sara’ Libera la mente sorella Guarda adesso quanto sei bella Gia’..aa..aa.a Che il sole interiore diretto negli occhi ti va Libera nel cuore sorella e’ li’ che sta la tua anima gemella che riempe ogni gesto che fai di forza che da’ da’ da’ da’ da’ Ed esci dal ghetto sorella E con coraggio prova a vivere la sfida Che ti da’ la verita’ Che sa..aa..aa..aaa Tutto cio’ che intorno a te sara’ Gia’..aa..aa.a E verra’ il giorno in cui tutti Liberi e sciolti si andra’ Sincronici versi perfetti Nel poema dell’eternita’...
