No Reason But My Own
03:17
|

So many people waiting for life
To kill them easy, to kill them slowly
Black gloved lover with a graceful smother
Deathless kiss to the world down under
My head high, my head high
Turn my eyes away I can't lie
This morning, this morning
I just pass it all by
I never thought I'd be the one who wondered
What the meaning of anything was
I don't really care because I am living
And as I'm living my purpose keeps giving
I can't reflect on this for too long
I got a life I have to move along
I need no reason my reason is known
I have no reason but my own
Move ahead, move ahead
To what we cannot see
Got no path, got no path
So I'm make it with the will to be
All along I had the blue prints to my own life
All along I knew just what I was running to and I ain't going to stop me once again
No Reason but my own
I need no reason but my own
I'll make it alone
With no reason but my own

One Day
03:43
|

Burning down the road with the windows low
Gonna blare Rock 'n Roll 'till the world explodes
Push the '95 to the triple digits
Out of city limits in a matter of minutes
Nowhere to go just far from here
Follow the yellow lines 'till my head is clear
I'm not the kind who imagines
Life in a cabin where nothing happens
But remembering how I failed, how all of my chances sailed
They won't come back to me, fate sails off into the sea
On the way out smack the highway sign
Doing a buck forty serve on a dime
Change out mixtapes with a free hand, singing
"This is the last stand of all I am"
Life to this point feels now or never
Fearing the future I've feared forever
Days pass by like townships signs
Rotting away like the vacant mines
But remembering how I failed, how all of my chances sailed
They won't come back to me, fate sails off into the sea
I wait for one day, I wait for one day
I wait for one day, I wait for one day
Keeping in mind what I left behind
On a journey for nothing I could find
Walking on my foggy way, waiting for one day
There's nothing in the fields
Nothing in the trees
I've got to find it
Find it in me
I wait for one day, I wait for one day
I wait for one day, I wait for one day
Keeping in mind what I left behind
On a journey for nothing I could find
Walking on my foggy way, waiting for one day

She's A Rock 'n Roll
06:05
|

Turning up the heat as Starscream retreats
Grab an Arizona tea and follow me
Ran through the bush so you can atleast-a
Help the crew take down Batista
Hear the Stingray roar
Hear the Stingray roar
Ya ya melancholy, no help to me
Drew the Spare of Despair and now I don't care
Everyone looks at her like she's dumb
But look who's following the bread crumbs
You won't see her eyes
You won't see her eyes
She's a Rock 'n Roll, she's a Rock 'n Roll
Demon of the ancient flames
She's a Rock 'n Roll, she's a Rock 'n Roll
Maiden with the Holy Name
Life of shit, life of shit, give a little bit
Give me it, give me it, ho ho ho
Life of shit, life of shit, give a little bit
Raid the record stores for the Golden Disc
No Dinobot sacrifice will get you this
Here's the girl with the rock hard bangs
CLANG! You lost her trail again
Save our daily lives
Save our daily lives
Dialing D as it stands for Dynamite
Forced outta the sewers and into the light
The whole crew is here after your sneer
A black coat waves, Sapporo girls make graves
and you're jumping in
and you're jumping in
She's a Rock 'n Roll, she's a Rock 'n Roll
Demon of the ancient flames
She's a Rock 'n Roll, she's a Rock 'n Roll
Maiden with the Holy Name
Life of shit, life of shit, give a little bit
Give me it, give me it, ho ho ho
Life of shit, life of shit, give a little bit
Got a fantasy that can't be quenched
The MVP that can't be benched
Shockwave waiting a million years
All for a piece of that signature sneer
Moonbase 2, coming after you
Moonbase 2, Baby Blue
Rock 'n Roll, is cosmic
Rock 'n Roll, can't drop it

Days Of Our Lifenheimers
03:35
|
|||
I rip out all my hair
Just finding something that sticks
I haven't read all my comic books
Just got my same old tricks
I said tomorrow it dawns
Looked in the mirror before I hit the light
I enter my bed with a new hope
But the next day comes and it's outta sight
Days of our Lifenheimers
We're all just passerbyers
This is my Lifenheimer
I'm just One Hopeless Buyer
I read 'till my legs went numb
Barely focused, I merely wanted to move on
We have too many choices
We never digest just carry on
The Dark Knight Returns again
How many times did they kill Uncle Ben?
We all want what's familiar
But once it was all a stranger to us
WITHOUT WARNING IT COMES
Crashes through the window my fear is done
I found nothing thinking in the dark
So Kanttila shall become a spark
Art is the mirror for our frustration
and daily life is the inspiration
Like those sands through the glass dive
These are the Days Of Our Lives
Days of our Lifenheimers
Days of our Lifenheimers
Just another passerbyer
Just another hopeless buyer

When Your Time Comes
02:32

Going Turbo Folk, Yugo mode, Slovenia said it's time to go
I think you lie behind the enemy line
But I don't care, it's not fair
Brought onstage for TOUMIN SHOJO, get crying in the rain like Kyou
Hug Me said when the streets run red
The Garbage Men make the same bed
When your times comes I'm always there for you
When your time comes I'll go running, it's all I can do
My tanks gun for you
My Oshi said she likes her Commies dead
and shot some random guy in the head
Good Morning, Musume, this is your revolution eh
The fields tick with landmines
and a sniper scopes trained to your behind
When your times comes I'm always there for you
When your time comes I'll go running, it's all I can do
Surrender your panty shot, when the bomb drops it's all you got
Knives sharp as Saiki's teeth
As a Wota's money burns underneath
Going Goto, not Maki, rather Mariko
Can't face ya 'till Croatia
But until then, see you again

Love Is Nuclear War
03:50
|
|||
After the rain, the pain won't remain
She's found her target and it can't be the same
Dense as wood, he never could
Pick up signals or hints all that good
She doesn't like me, there's no way
She only greets me on my annual birthday
Better give up, there's no affection
My greatest fear is her rejection
But he was wrong and he feelings went on
To get to him she needed something strong
Opened her purse, dialed the code
Primed her ballistics aimed to explode
She's playing a game, messing around
But I'm no fool, I ain't her clown
Let her get any guy she wants
Compliments are not my response
Now she's locking on
The satellite grid stretches long
Missiles in Cuba take their marks
Ready to aim at her dense boy's heart
LOVE IS WAR, NUCLEAR WAR
Hold my Dead Man hand it's war
Don't understand what they fight for
Her love is spicier than a Third World War
You stupid buffoon, I love you
This is why I do what I do
Annex your spirit just from the start
and instill my government in your heart
His greatest defense hair that hid his brow
He was the Kai-Shek to her Mao
She can't recognize his sovereign soul
He was the one she could not control
She's just a flirt, for all it's worth
Don't see why anyone would like me
It's comedy, she wants to play
But this Cold War ends today
She's gonna make him feel
That her love is really for real
Night raid, Dresden, one final push
To his Gulf she goes George Bush
LOVE IS WAR, BIOCHEMICAL WAR
International spicy war
Our allies don't know what we fight for
Fighting for love in a missile war
You damn fool, Teddy Roosevelt tool
Jingo Jango tryna hold your ground
If you don't see I love you
Than a Blitzkrieg is what I'm gonna do
The war was won and now it can be told
She gave up and left the poika cold
He'll dream of her one of these days
and chase the chance he turned away

Existence Is My Thing
03:11

Spend my time, spend my time, waiting around
For things to come on to me
Wait for fate, wait for fate, to turn the tides
I believe in destiny
Golden Time - Golden Time
Never ever is mine
Golden Time - Golden Time
Never what I'm gonna find
People talk, people talk, of all the pain
I figure it's just their luck
Surely I, surely I, would shine brighter
My fantasy takes me higher
Golden Time - Golden Time
Whatever fate 'ill bring
Golden Time- Golden Time
Existence is my thing
Oh, oopala, Never missed a shot
Aika, Kobayosh, Easy when you've never shot a shot
Hear the chimes of fate ring
Wait for what it will bring
Waiting gets you nothing
So existence is my thing

Anti-420

I hate weed, indeed, it's nothing I need
But this ain't a self righteous song
I gotta say, m'kay, you can blaze away
But this is what I stood for all along
Don't go killing people, don't go robbing banks
Don't commit tax fraud or make up checks so fake
My brand is bland, understand
It's all in my plan
I love KISS, BiSH, I'm basically Swiss
Neutral until you make me mad
Don't go pulling Ponzis, don't do money laundry
Don't you dare bribe the Pope and turn away the sea
Don't invade countries, with the everyman's money
Get outta Serbia and bring back Austria-Hungary
I don't care what you do as long as it ain't funny
I just want to tell everybody I'm Anti-420

Kurtiiläinen

Its another day I don't want to exist as the
Human I am, I want more than this
My dream was misguided leaving me to wish for a
Life of no action, served dish after dish
It's not who I want to be, all I am is me
What am I meant to be? - Only me
In these days of mine I aim just to be fine
The world's out to get me
A mediocre line I tow for all time
What else do I see?
The people around me realized it one day now they
Lock their hopes away, to get through life okay
Drag me down to the pits they dug, a trap
You walk into a cage, and can't flip the page
But it is who I want to be, I am me.
No use thinking otherwise, there's only me
In these days of mine I aim just to be fine
The world's out to get me
A mediocre line I tow for all time
What else do I see?
Something gets in my mind
Makes it hard to find
A reason to feel okay
But I'm going to change that today
I AM KANTTILA AND I'M GUNNA TELL YA!
