Why don't you take my hand
And walk this way with me she said

I'll show you something nice
Something I'm sure of
You will like it very well she said

I'll lead you to this land
Where we belong to be she said

We can afford the price
To take this tour off
Right in time as time will tell she said

And we just fell into
A stream of milk and honey
But we were not afraid
To dive into the deep

The merchants sell a few
A dream of silk and money
But they get never paid
Until we fall asleep

Why don't we skip this part
It's useless anyway she said

We could be running free
And never look back
To the yesterdays of pain she said

The subject turns to art
So use it every day she said

Not blind enough to see
We lay the new track
For the everlasting train she said


2008 Mario Strack

Hardware

You got a plan
To screw the world
By fasten all the goods
They are about to give away for free

Nuts and bolts will do the job
To mount them somewhere out of reach
Nuts and bolts will do the job
Communication without speech

Another plan
To hose the beast
And nail it's tail on to
The bottom of the cage it's living in

Brads and pins will do the job
To mount it at a proper place
Brads and pins will do the job
Advisable in every case


2009 Mario Strack

Yourself

Slap yourself on the forehead
Or kick yourself in the ass
If you haven't been warned yet
All of your chances may pass

You should know
Were ever you go
It's all about...

Peep yourself in the mirror
Look yourself straight in the eye
It has never been clearer
Not even you can deny

All you know
Were ever you go
It's all about...

You, you and yourself
Nobody else could ever do what you have done
Done to yourself
Only yourself
Nobody else

Twist yourself into poses
Proclaim yourself as a star
In the sweet smell of roses
Living is better by far

Now you know
This is your show
It's all about...


2009 Mario Strack

Nothing

This one goes out and will be
Received by no one 'cause the
Lyrics are about and mean nothing

These guys they say you got to
Have to tell the story well such
Diligence always makes me laughing

Not a word about environment destruction
And not a syllable of sharpest contradiction
No single statement 'bout political corruption
Not any vocable will mention love or friction

Simply nothing
Nothing at all

This one's on offer but it
Will be paid by no one because
Art to the market means nothing

These guys they show you how to
Earn a buck for glory well such
Confidence sometimes keeps me laughing

This one's related to and
It applies to no one any
Weight of the words will move nothing

These guys they force you to believe
It's hunky-dory such
Ambivalence is apt to stop me laughing

Beat by beat
And bar by bar
Chord by chord
And key by key

Just a syncopated melody
Woven in harmony and backed by the rhythm

Follow the soundtrack
Trace the notes and take a trip back
To the songs that have guided you
From the days of your youth until today

Hit by a flashback
Buried deep in your cd-stack
All the bands that have raddled you
Heal the scars of your soul now while they play


2008 Mario Strack

Disarmament

We got aircraft carriers and battlecruisers
We got frigates, corvettes too
We got amphibious little assault ships
Mighty destroyers are the clue

We got minesweepers and we got minehunters
And we got torpedo boats
We got submarines that enrich the scenes
Of "naval warfare" whatever it denotes


But what about disarmament?
Will you please tell the people where the billions went?
Hey how about disarmament?
Is it really true that every cent is spent on death
Death and destruction


We got reconnaissance planes and cruise missiles
We got strategic bombers and jet fighters too
And we got spy satellites up in the sky
Watching every breath and every move we do

Intercontinental ballistic missiles
Missiles specifically made for ground attack
Surveillance radar for earlier detection
While helicopter gunships shoot you in the back


We got automatic rifles and machine guns
We got battle tanks and autocannons too
We got anti-tank rocket launchers
And bayonets are nothing new

We got light mortars and towed howitzers
And anti-aircraft artillery
Smitten by the charms of modern fireams
No one seems to disagree


2007 Mario Strack

Un Film Francais


Blazing guns and crashing cars
Tombstones in the central cemetery
Rugged heroes shoot phoney preachers and
Ride into the setting sun

Close relationships, menage a troir
Mighty big boss sexy secretary
Creepy crawling alien creatures
Running scared means having fun

Un film francais
Ein deutscher Film
An american movie
Un film francais
Cinema italiano
Let's see what's on the screen tonight

Glamour stars and talented actors
We decide who's a celebrity
Rolling out all the red carpets in
Berlin, venice, cannes and hollywood

Interview with some smart directors
Feature film and dokumentary
Haute couture for sultry starlettes
You can reach the top and stay for good


2007 Mario Strack

Photograph


Observe the planet
Observe the oceans
Observe the land through cut glass eyes
Observe the cities
Observe the buildings
Observe the people in disguise

And keep them as a
Photograph, photography photographer
Photograph, contrast sharpness tint and blur
Photograph, photography photographer
Photograph, trigger shutter aperture

Explore the mammals
Explore the humans
Explore the ladys naked skin
Explore the grimacing
Explore the faces
Explore the smile the sneer the grin

Expose the underdogs
Expose the privileged
Expose the richly and the poor
Expose the powerful
Expose the helpless
Expose and focus, click and store

The Songs 3]]> http://www.last.fm/user/MarioStrack/journal/2009/06/11/2sgguu_the_songs_3_released...

With an artist currently writing only about two songs a year waiting for an album can be quite tortuous so Mario Strack decided to release hereafter only EP's.
Four new songs are offered on The Songs 3 here on last.fm as full tracks and in stores now.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/MarioStrack/journal/2007/10/03/b8yot_read_the_lyrics_of_mario_strack%27s_songs...

Generating a world
With electronic devices
Wipe the reality dirt
Off off the screens

Virtual dishes
Flavoured with digital spices
Turn into a flirt
With something unseen

Generating disciples
For a cyber religion
A robotic jesus
Holy silicon brain

Virtual wishes
Just release a white pigeon
Simply to please us
Inside an electric rain


2005 Mario Strack

The Secret Rockstar

Got a question like:
Why should one go out and
Kill somebody or be killed ?

Search the answer
There amongst the liars
They don't mind whose blood is spilled

Why don't you go and ask
The secret rockstar
He will not hesitate to tell you the simple truth
In his solid state of mental independence
He's not afraid, he's only singin' the blues

Got a question like:
Is there a god above us
Or what happens when we die ?

Search the answer
There amongst the hippokrits
They don't know, don't even try


2005 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Greenhouse in Space

Breathing in
What another one exhales
Drinking someones sweat

Swimming out
With the fishes and the whales
Wonder what they're at

Rising up
Where the birds might touch the sun
Drifting with the tide

Rooting down
To where the secret waters run
Soak them up inside

All of us we're living
Inside a greenhouse in space
Though every rock that we throw
Ricoches towards our own face
We sit on top of a mountain
Towered up from our own sins
Trying to keep our foolish grins down
We fall into disgrace


2004 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Leaves

We start as buds
Inside a twig
We turn to where we face the light

Than we develope
And we unfold
Rhythm controlled by day and night
And than we tumble to the ground 'cause we are leaves

We got no ears
We got no tongue
So we don't listen we don't talk

Sometimes we're thousands
Upon a tree
Sometimes we're single on a stalk
And than we tumble to the ground 'cause we are...

Leaves are funny, leaves are nice,
Leaves are pretty green
Leaves are flat with edges and with points
Leaves are healthy, leaves are spice,
Leaves are never mean
Leaves they give you spinach give you joints
Sometimes we tumble to the ground because of leaves

In the beginning
We're sappy fresh
But soon we wilt and we decay

We change our colour
From green to brown
Shook of the trees and blown away
At least we crumble into soil 'cause we're just leaves


2004 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

The Band

Somewhere on a fancy party
Someone's kickin' ass
Sniffin' lots of funny powders
leavin' quite a mess
Meanwhile, meanwhile the band plays rock 'n' roll

There's a way out of this time
For just the two of us in love
Your hands in my hands
We can reach the entrance

Somewhere on a lonely highway
Someone drives a car
Tries to flee his ol' life
Will not get him far
Meanwhile...

Somewhere in the heart of nature
Someone's pumpin' oil
Poisoning the water
Poisoning the soil
Meanwhile...

Somewhere in a foreign country
Someone takes a gun
Points it right against his brother
That's what ends all fun
Meanwhile...

Somewhere at an ivorytower
Someone writes a song
Putting in some real emotions
Make the words come strong
Meanwhile...


2003 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

The Beat

It may be, that you have had a vision
And it may even be that you believe it's new
And it may be that you become a politician
That doesn't necessarily mean that this is true

Come on and think it over
Well, you better think twice
until you realize...

Once again it is the beat that drives the story
And once again we're driven into the groove
I will keep the pace for you so don't you worry
We'll keep on driving till these demons move...away...

It may be that you, don't know how to use it
And it may be that you can't even get your share
And it may be they are gone to treat you till you loose it
That doesn't necessarily mean that they don't care


2003 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

E-Motion

Have you seen ?
Have you ever seen ?
Something that blew out all of your notion

Have you been ?
Have you ever been ?
Within something like an electric emotion

Well, than you might know..

I have been there once before and
It was me who was taken by the hand and..
I have seen this once before and
It was me who did not understand and..
We have done this once before and
Now it´s you, doing it once again to me...


2002 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Lifestyle

Can you imagine having exotic dinners
Can you imagine sippin´ Dom Perignon
And even if you already got that
You know exactly that this can´t be wrong

Can you imagine wearing just Armani
Imagine Lagerfelds expensive smell
And even if you already got that
Show all the people that it suits you well because...

Lifestyle is what we all belong to
Lifestyle is what we seek
Lifestyle is that what makes the difference
Between the boomer and the freak

Can you imagine a penthouse in Manhattan
Can you imagine dining at the Ritz
And even if you already got that
Tell all the people that you know it fits because...

Can you imagine driving a Mercedes
Can you imagine flying only first
And even if you already got that
You know exactly what these things are worth because...


2001 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

We're In

We are the soldiers of the market
Wearing businessuniform
Raise the profit is our target
Selling weappons, drugs and porn

We jet from Frankfurt up to Wallstreet
We stick in each and every deal
Don´t you ask for responsibility
There´s nothing to reveal

But at the weekend we´re at home
We kiss our kids goodnight
We take our pretty wifes and enter pleasuredome
We feel so high because we earn it
Until we burn it...

We are the keepers of the nature
We´re pricing animals and trees
If you don´t want to pay for your live
Leave this planet, if you please

But at the weekend...

We are the cracks of inovation
Lead you to virtuality
We sell you hazy explanations
And you turn to pay the fee

But at the weekend...

We were the soldiers of the market
Still wear that same old uniform
But now it seems like we have
Sold ourselves...


2000 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Society

Society, is not for me
They say it is a must
You got to be a part of this
But I do not agree with this society

Conspiracy, is not for me
They say it is a must
You got to be a part of this
But I do not agree with this conspiracy

Aint got no four leaf glover
No clever strategie
The rain is pouring down
The only one you can trust in is me

´Cause when the spirit comes
All changes to dust
And all the clouds disappear
Not even heroes stay, they´r not ment to last
It´s only lovers that are
Allowed to make there way back home

Community, is not for me
They say it is a must
You got to be a part of this
But I do not agree with this community


1999 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Aesthetics

Aesthetics add some meaning to impression
They´r stored in a subconsciousness like you and I
me I try to stick them into artworks
and you may wonder why...

Aesthetics illustrate the life of humans
they seek for independence just like you and I
me I try...

If you see blue it is not necessarily blue skys
If you see red, it is not always blood
Sometimes it´s electronic dye on active screens
And you may find out what it means
It´s up to you, aestheticize your mind...

Aesthetics transform soldiers into heroes
They think they get there orders just like you and I
but me I try...


1998 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

My Woman

My woman
She´s nice as I can tell
My woman
She leads me out of hell
She reads the map so well

She´s coming a long way
But always the strong way
And where to go she always knows
She´s moving the thight way
But always the right way
And where to go she really knows

Way home...
Straight way home


1997 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Get the Groove

I crossed the oceans
Full of boredom
For a little while
And I received what I deserved

I read the messages
But they where changeing
Just in style
The lines where straight the news where curved

And than I step into this place
I hear some drums I hear some bass
And then I get into the Groove...


1996 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

The Dance

It is the dance
That makes us all so happy
It is the dance
That gives us all the fun
It is the dance
That makes our life so pleasent
It is the dance
To each and every one

Because the rhythm of the primitive
Don´t offers intellectual approache
It only takes your body and your soul
So let your heartbeat be the coach

And (cause) it´s the dance
Girl it is the dance
What we got is the dance...


1995 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Airplanes

From town to town
From land to land
They want to move
They have to go...

From continent
To continent
They want to move
They have to go
And so they fly with airplanes...


1994 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Civilization

Silence is golden, said that man to me
The war is over, said that man to me

But I don´t belive him
I look around and I see
No I don´t belive him
I simply disagree, with him

This world has canyons filled with blood
And all these fingers point at you
This world has canyons filled with tears
And now these eyes they stare at me

Talking is golden, said that man to me
The hate is over, said that man to me

But I don´t belive him...

This world has deserts made of hearts
And all these rocks they fall on you
This world has deserts made of greed
And now these boots walk over me

Civilization...

Thinking is golden, said that man to me
The fear is over, said that man to me

And now I belive him
I close my eyes and I see
Oh yes I belive him
I simply just agree with him

This world has mountains build of care
And now these hands are touching you
This world has mountains build of love
And now these lips are kissing me


1994 Mario Strack

--------------------------------------------------------

Dance the Bomb

Our culture is a simple killing culture
And our history a history of war

So we must dance the bomb
Bounce the bomb
Drop the bomb on someone elses head

We have to dance the bomb
Bounce the bomb
Drop the bomb ´till everyone is dead

These are the signs
The signs of justice
The signs of freedom
The signs of peace
Until we reach that thing called "Endsieg"
We will continue this...


1993 Mario Strack
