Fucenno comu nu dannato ieri agghiu' pinsato ma ce cazzo tegno cu me? Pizzico la radio, tutto è chiu' sctunato comu face cu no piense a te? Lassu la machena squagghiata la trovo chiu' scasciata, bella la uerra fra puviriedde Lu fatto ca scti Maya ono sbagliato data me face ancora yasctema' le muerte Ma lu ritmo 'nchiana comu na saetta vae luntano lunta'... scti tiempi cinquantasei miliardi di crisctiane tenono tutti raggione Scto canto in dialetto ma sctativne sckuscitate ca 'mmienzo a vue sctè almeno nnu cugghione Speramo ca si more dopo la vita ci no qua è triscta la situazione Fortuna scte' ancora na parola ca faci sbanta' tutti li pizzarrune. E quescta nchiana nchiana si sparpagghia 'ntra lu munnu luntano luntà. Far away, far away, far away, far away.. You gotta say CARNE, i said CARNE I don't even know what is going in my head. the holy CARNE. I'm on fire. don't get mad! CARNE Ormae ogni santa cosa ve dicenno tà badà ci è politically correct Ancora si scandalizzno li piccinni ca sapno comu si rashka a cinc'anne, no ssè? Giurnu e notte sò comu la morte, li viti sulu quanna tocca a te. Ma l'orologgi so' rrutti, no sctè na lira, e la terra lu sctesso si vvota si ggira. ma sctà parola nchiana si sparpagghia ntra lu munnu luntano luntà. Far away, far away, far away, far away..

lyrics

Da Vinci made us fly. Romans let Rome die. Columbus traveled way too much. Marconi stole no wires. Once the times were tough enough, You could have even shared a thought But now this land teems with smoke, and that's not a good sign down in Italy Now awfulness is good. Gimmick belief is too. Red wine turned out to be bright white. La dolce vita, out of time. Once the times were seriously fun. You could even wear just what you got. But now this land sleeps alone, and that's not a good sign down in Italy Once the times were sunny and ripe. You could even play with a dime. It’s all the same from north to south, and that's not a good sign down in Italy

Sarò io il primo a dire che sono un pezzo di merda. E sarò l'ultimo a dire che sono puro come una perla. Ma tu che cosa sei? Parliamo di te. Sei appena poco meglio di me. Sarò io il primo a dire che faccio troppo casino. Io sarò il primo a dire che sporco come un bambino. Ma tu che cosa sei? Parliamo di te. Sei appena poco meglio di me. Sei tu l'opportunista, eppure lo sai. Vuoi fare l'artista senza creare mai. Sanguisuga. Io sarò il primo a dire che sono una testa di cazzo. E sarò il primo a dire che posso essere stronzo. Ma tu che cosa sei? Parliamo di te. Sei appena poco meglio di me. Fai lezioni su l'amicizia, ma quanti amici hai? Pensi solo a salvarti la faccia, senza mostrarla mai. Sanguisuga. Sarò io il primo a dire che sono un pezzo di merda. E sarò l'ultimo a dire che sono puro come una perla. Ma tu che cosa sei? Parliamo di te. Sei appena poco meglio di me. Sei tu l'opportunista, eppure lo sai. Vuoi fare l'artista senza creare mai. Sanguisuga.

Pharaohs 04:10

Pharaohs, the hell was going on? People say they came straight from the sky. Early stones, people working on. Somehow they got to scrape the clouds. Fireballs, devastating winds, we can still see what it once was like. Arrows on the other side of the globe, Dancing to the rain and fight the fire Damn, archeology, keeps on going 'round and round the house. And, wikipedia leaks, PHD, frantic blinking, liar's eyes. Pharaohs, no doubt they had a clue, Pyramids and sphinx matching the stars. Believe it or not, they were smoking pot, but they never built a bridge too far. Endless ropes, stone elevators, and we ended up, with a wooden god. Arrows, on the other side of the globe, Dancing to the rain and fight the fire. Damn hieroglyphic gift, maybe we'd have something that we'd pay to know. And, if we're backing the wrong horse, No way we're gonna fix the final sunrise. Pharaohs, sarcophagus, Orion, Endless ropes, stone elevators, and we ended up, with a wooden god. Dammit, slave technology, We're all dreaming of a fool's paradise And, fake democracy, knowledge lingers far from our empty smiles.

Stone Cold Free Time 05:45
lyrics

I'd rather hang out without my own mind. and I wonder if I'm the only one. No doubt the whole world would shine, including me. We got everything inside our eyes, Even the blind can feel we're all disguised. Screw the mind and we'll be alright, for a while. I'm so damn close, I'll reach out. I don't care if I die, I just tore the road apart. Stone cold free time to get rid of my mind. Maybe we are waiting way too long, Sleeping tight, dreaming luck to rise. Be yourself where there is no self, Speed up your ride. It is evidence the word to hide! As if we are dating our own brain… All those pills are gonna be in vain, A waste of time I'm so damn close, I won't give up. Just a half step to cross the bounds, I won't lose it another time. Stone cold free time to get rid of the heart, of my mind. I'd rather hang out without my own mind. Even the blind can feel we're all disguised. Screw the mind and we'll be alright, at least for a while. I'm so damn close, I'll reach out. I don't care if I die, I just tore the road apart. Stone cold free time to get rid of my mind. Stone cold free time to get rid of my mind.
