A little bit of Care
You don't need to back each other up,
no, that's not what you've been told
you think if you play it hard today,
tomorrow you'll be first
then tomorrow never comes
cause no one built it up
you don't want to listen to me now
it's boring, it's not fun
you just want to challenge once again
mate you give them what they want
you do nothing but believe this is so much
better than getting lost again into the booze
and begging for something to share
get in line, one day they will pick you up at last
you will be there for a while to learn again
how you just missed a little bit of care
so much to learn when when you were young,
to soon forget it all
as principles were so important then,
and they're now expendable
every thing's a tool that leads you on the climb
you just need to creep high until you see the prize
your freedom is now trading currency
they are not cunts, man it's you who's on sale
get in line, one day they will pick you up at last
you will be there for a while, you will learn again
how you just missed a little bit of care
get in line now, one day they will pick you up at last …
you will be there for a while with something to share
get in line, one day they will pick you up at last …
you will be there for a while as long as they need
get in line, one day they will pick you up at last …
you will be there for a while if you behave
get in line, one day you'll make it on their list
you will learn again
how you just missed a little bit of care
and how we could be great
with just a little bit of care

Finn
Finn you're not alone, there's a father
in every little thing you will love
in every wish, every man that will inspire your life, your concerns
a man is a man and he's one in a million
oh
Finn there' s not a road to happiness
happiness is just the road itself
it's not in what you get
happiness is what you give
that's all you bring along
slightly regretful and proud …
don't stress out, believe, it's not a big deal
don't waste any tear
keep it for a good day, for something to love
to take a picture of …
Finn you're not alone there's a father
in every woman like her
don't stress out, believe, there's not much to find out
just get out of here, there so much to earn
from all we will never get
there's so much to get from all
we have never had
there's so much to love
so much to love
now what will you get from what you will give away?
Finn, you're not alone.
Not at all.

Pledge
I'm sorry you won't find a golden bed, you'll find a man,
a woman in this case, a gracious reign, yeah that will be warm
Together we'll believe in fairy tales, just once again
through all the things you will have to learn yourself
I haven't got them all yet, but don't be scared
I will be there
I will be there
and never let them tell you what's the place where you belong
please don't believe in flags, they come from war
just gently paint your own
then one day they will tell you there's a god …
well I'm not sure, they call It with so many different names
whatever you will pray make sure
freedom is safe or that is not a god
and together we'll sing
“I am still alive”
“I am gonna grow wings”
“eternal life is now on my trail”
“sleep don't weep”
“we had a promise made”
“some leave just to stay”
“heavenly father”
yes, cause one day i will have to go away, that's how it ends
but I know that on that day you'll understand
what i mean when today I say I will be there
cause I will be there
to catch the meaning of pledge
