Growing up 02:49
We’re not teens anymore 
So what’s the point of what we write
 And what’s the point of what we say 
We are not teens anymore 
Never regretted what we made
 Excuses don’t go the same way 

Is there any truth or do we fake, who knows and who cares

 We’re not teens anymore 
We still get pissed or do we fake 
We still get drunk or do we slake
 We’re not teens anymore 
We still show off, do we explain 
We still get drunk or do we slake
 We still escape or we run away

 We’re not teen anymore
 Judge us, it won’t change
We ain’t the way we use to be 
Our behavior is well ingrained 
We’re not teens anymore 
We’re not teens anymore

I’m gonna tell you a story 
It began in a little town in russia
 There grows a little girl called elena
 And she’s pissed off with people fucked up with vodka 
She works at school 
She works at home 
She wants to leave 
She dreams of canada 
Not as a fleer 
Not as a coward 
Not as greed 
She wants to have a chance
 And she’s saved the money 
Oh she had a recommendation 
and when she received the sealed letter she knew 
That her life had just began 

 Finally plane wheels left the ground 
Her sister’s leather backpack tightened against her 
The dope is in when money’s lackin 
It s not about deserving or not 
It’s just the way it is 

2am toronto queen street 
She’s wandering in a way (wrong way) 
When she takes a break she’s having tea 
Cause she remembers
 what vodka does, she showed me what her backpack contains 
Then i guessed, but asked what’s that huge knife for
 Night is dangerous she said 
for girl 
Dealing drugs now 
Will she 
Will she keep her faith 


When you re far from home, and  you secretly hope that someone miss you 
The buried smoke of last dawn, creeping you down, to the hell, 
No more light, only haze and rain 
The souvenirs and scars faded, a shadow
 Look back take a breath and tell me what you meant (tell me) Did she make the decisions or did society make it? 
Will you just pity her , or will you close your eyes
 Brave child, leaving, sad consequences, 
We all carry the weight

Monkeys 02:33
There s a quiver in the shadow While the monkey s getting high Bridled youth is showing teeth, I hear the party tanks, fierce and pride To educate the sons And I wonder what the real, what are the real purposes of Vlad, What did the people do to bear the strifes And he spreads his poisoned shadows He has no scruple, nor rules he’s a rat And he’s progressing While the monkeys are getting high, so high Won’t you Won’t you kill this one Order the same And I’ll try And I’ll try to go on It makes me feel so miserable People from the west we think we’re right We’ve plundered the world and now we sorrow Whispers in the time Is there any virgin land Not controlled by any sociopaths Between ancient rocks, sheeps, sea and void What i try to say is I realized We’ve been too far And I try to find a place to feel home won’t you tell me Where’s The place i dream of every night Where the blues shines and the moutains comfort There i ll never be a monkey that i critisize Who the fuck I am to judge, I’m a coward

LeftBank 02:16
I was walking in the street when I saw mother fuckers 
Stickin posters, spreading nazi theories on the wall, I spit on them
 Put me in a good mood, I was smiling, then I received the blow behind my head 
Every time I feel the pain, I realize that I’m a kind of hero 

I don’t concede for liberty 
The path I’m on the way is narrow 
And I would die to save your life 
Honey you’re stuck by enemies
 Sometime it’s even tough to breath
 But when you got no fear and no hope 
It’s like you re jumping with no net 
Won’t you do it 

If you want a safer life, you should think twice about it
 Militia won’t give up, never, realize, this trip is 
one way 
Images comes every night, affect my body negatively 
It’s too late to explain, could we inveigh, to let us staying free 

 The liberty they sacrified
 Now we’ve got to pass through sorrow 
That’s tough we have to take deep breath 
We’ll fight against fierce enemies 
Try to be strong as clarence darrow
 Ready to fight today and morrow 
We won’t give up before the win 
The war’s not over

N&R 01:57
I was stuck at home 
For two weeks and it’s already way too long 
Is it altering my chromosome
 What can i do? I hear some creepy sound 
I put my favorite record on 
I concentrate on note and rhythm 

I’ve got this idea I restrain 
I don’t even know what to say
 Maybe I should just make a guitar line 
An old fashioned punk rock record diy 

The streets are empty
The streets are quiet 
Nature is on his way to win the fight 
I already gave up the lyrics part 
I am not wise enough, I write despicable lines 
The time has stopped / I realize
 We are going back to the good old time 
Before a musician, I’m a fan 
I find it hard 

The ideas have now closed 
I get some ta dacos, chicken vodka and lime
 Dead meat, dead city, chili sauce
 And I don’t care that people die 

I don’t give a fuck anymore
 It’s been too long I’ve been stuck behind my door 
Even if i say something wise, what’s the point? What is it all about? 
I don’t give a shit what the people think 
They proceed to a slo mo suicide
 So I don’t care, fuck it al l
And I concentrate on note and rhymes, note and rhymes

Nowadays 02:30
All the shit I heard those days, stays in my mind 
we were placed on the wrong way 
our thoughts are biased by history 

Surrounded by law, they completely ruled our lives 
killing morale, just follow the guide 
killing virtues, heroes wanted to fight their wars 

cities, they are cancers that metastasize 
keeping control on people 
we just throw it all

 and find another way 
tolerate to be lame 
and take the control back 
of the time that we spend 
running after fantasy 
dissipate the smoke that blows our mind 
it’s just up to us 


Nowaday the real life is in the countryside 
I wanna embrace the world 
I wanna swim in muddy water 
Politicians will no longer have a hold on us 
Freed from social norms
 The time’s shape 
Will be brought so that it will perfectly match
 Children they will imitate 
But we will have to be smart and conscious 
By the change that has to be done 
We will soon be 10 billion 
Breathing, eating, killing, wanting fresh summers, fresh summers

 Nowadays we’re going back to the real life 
We want no better 
Just lacking courage, madness, strength 
We want no better

 Nowaday the real life is in the countryside

I don't want 03:42
I dont want to want to live like somebody else Try to feel in harmony And strive to do my best All the critics, reproaches don’t bother me Those who wanna play with it, get a shot or stay away I dont want to want to live like somebody else Drive my body instinctly wandering like no one else I m a drifter addicted to liberty ones prefers security God is gay since he met me I m from the mountain A jagged city Good old days, there was no internet I was made by people i met and books i red Time have changed but i stayed the same Ain’t not genius but I'm straight and have nothing to prove No fucking shit to prove When i give a look on twitter I m the witness of hords of whining haters Vomiting on anyone And it blows my mind But i have a secret treasure Hidden from the blinded masses My innatention a religion, babylon in me Please never obey to someone who tell you what to do I dont want to want to live like somebody else Try to sue my destiny Without taking a rest I’ma drifter addicted on my liberty When time flies i scream and cry Just faking what i say I dont want to want to live like somebody else Drive my body instinctly wandering like no one else I m a drifter addicted on my liberty ones prefers security God is gay since he met me ( i’m from the moutain A jagged city Do you regret something I see you got the taste I’m from the mountain A jagged city I never travel back to those days God is gay since he met me)

We play the music we love, fast and loud.
