KMFDM – PARADISE lyrics

[Verse 1: Sascha]
Nobody
Knows nothing
Shit happens
On a global scale
Conglomerate
Of blood-suckers
Unchecked, unhinged
Beyond the pale

[Verse 2: Lucia]
Get your motherfuckin' head on straight
A worldwide, rat race
Lineage of the good old boys
Drowning in the swamp
Of white noise
Entitlement
Breeds fraud
Learned men who got it wrong
Color, gender, faith outlaw
We’re all human in the eyes of God

[Chorus: Sascha and Lucia]
This planet is
A paradise
A paradise
For assholes
This planet is
A paradise
A paradise
For assholes

[Verse 3: Sascha]
Out to pilfer
Ransack sham
Flim-flam
Above the law
Worldwide
Giant scam
More grandiose than the mafia

[Verse 4: Lucia]
Linked up like a chain of fools
Fanatical tone-deaf ghouls
Star-spangled neon light
Sleaze bags who haunt the night
Crooked cops come out to play
In cold blood, discriminate
How can anyone know their worth
When every day is murder in the first?

[Chorus: Sascha and Lucia]
This planet is
A paradise
A paradise
For assholes
This planet is
A paradise
A paradise
For assholes

[Verse 5: Sascha]
Pulling strings
Behind the scenes
The outcome justifies all means
Win for the win, no matter the cost
Third from the sun
A paradise lost

[Chorus: Sascha and Lucia]
This planet is
A paradise
A paradise
For assholes

[Verse 6: Lucia]
It's time to liberate
Prejudice, so rotten it stinks
The whole world is on the brink
Just say what everyone thinks

[Chorus: Sascha and Lucia]
This planet is
A paradise
A paradise
For assholes

[Verse 7: Lucia]
Get your motherfuckin' head on straight
A worldwide, rat race
How can anyone know their worth
When every day is murder in the first?

[Chorus: Sascha and Lucia]
This planet is
A paradise
A paradise
For assholes
Paradise
A paradise
Paradise
For assholes
