Reckless as I want to be Bulky, vulgar, sharp and free It’s the mood tonight and it’s incontrovertible Oh baby, can’t you see the raging river? I’m the river that is running over you Hyena smile is what you’re gonna find By the way there’s no way: clear the way or follow Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic shame tonight I do not give a damn of what you think of me Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic shame tonight I do not give a damn of what you think of me I ain’t no drunk I ain’t no drunk Maybe just a bit Hey buddy, do you see that pack of bullies? I’m sure they’re looking for some justice dose So it’s time to start a brutal fight By the way there’s no way: clear the way or get crushed Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic shame tonight I do not give a damn of what you think of me Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic shame tonight I do not give a damn of what you think of me Oh oh yeah yeah oh yeah Always trying to remember what I have done yesterday And constant hangover So – I – have – a drink Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic shame tonight I do not give a damn of what you think of me Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic bound – I’m gonna cross again Alcoholic shame tonight I do not give a damn of what you think of me

I wanna tell you now all the story about that rhythm I mean the sound inside my head, a refrain It started years ago I was just three years old But then I couldn’t make out the words But after a few years the refrain was very clear Says: “burn it down right now, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down” Dancing – and laughing around the flames Howling – with raving eyes in the night Hatred – is flowing right down my veins Conspiring – is my only way of life I like to sow revolt and dislike for all the bosses, Ready to spring for everything’s not fair And when it’s time to bite I aim at the jugular A flavour that I like No sleep, no rest, no calm, no vacation, no! Just burn it down right now, burn it down, burn it down, burn it down! Dancing – and laughing around the flames Howling – with raving eyes in the night Hatred – is flowing right down my veins Conspiring – is my only way of life And in the end, I know, they’ll bump me off But in the meantime I keep on Dancing – and laughing around the flames Howling – with raving eyes in the night Hatred – is flowing right down my veins Conspiring – is my only way of life

Rock Bottom 03:39

Hey Once I had a plenty of brain Once I was a master-mind Now I like to throw the dice Bad whiskey flows From the glass into my throat Sure, I like girls And I want them all And all my fuckin’ money fade away again My way out of the pain is very wild My way out of the pain can boomerang My way out of the pain is very wild My way out of the pain just makes me lose All it’s started when she left me Cause I couldn’t stop gambling So I also started drinking I wake up (at) twelve o’ clock Cause I lost my job I am al-ways in debt To some po-ker player And I don’t pay the rent Cause, my friend, you know that every time I win then I have some fun And all my fuckin’ money fade away again My way out of the pain is very wild My way out of the pain can boomerang My way out of the pain is very wild My way out of the pain just makes me lose Wasting all my days I’m so sick of this life My life My way out of the pain is very wild My way out of the pain can boomerang My way out of the pain is very wild My way out of the pain just makes me lose

Reptiles 02:59

Whoever whines Many times is a snake This is a lesson that I’m learning on my skin Their poison in my body Bubbles inside, bubbles inside And some design’s Scratching my mind, scratching in my mind No one understand the wrath of mine I wanna smile, I wanna show my shiny canines I wanna laugh while I think of you dead I gotta smile, I gotta show my shiny canines I gotta smile, I gotta wait until I drag you down Now I keep still, Unmoving like a crocodile Hating so much but now I’m jumping out, I’m jumping out And tearing them Into pieces, into fuckin’ pieces Everybody see the wrath of mine I wanna smile, I wanna show my shiny canines I wanna laugh while I think of you dead I gotta smile, I gotta show my shiny canines I gotta smile, I gotta wait until I drag you down Ooooooh, ooooooh, oooooh I wanna smile, I wanna show my shiny canines I wanna laugh while I think of you dead I gotta smile, I gotta show my shiny canines I gotta smile, I gotta wait until I drag you down

Circles 04:34

Walking in a dusty desert Walking in a filthy desert, baby Facing the sun Is no longer fun When all you get is further stun Keep on tumbling down This yellow’s burning my eyes The sky reminds me the shit I made I’m getting lost in a sunny day Running in this empty desert Running in this haunting desert, baby Searching for some Things I don’t find Maybe cause they’re in my mind This yellow’s burning my eyes The sky reminds me the shit I made I’m getting lost in a sunny day Circle in the sand Made by the prints of my feet Circle in the air The vultures over me Circle in my head Ooooh Circle in the sand Starting point again Passing through this crushing desert Passing through this fuckin’ desert, baby Roaming around I’m falling down Swimming in the sand I drown Coughing all the time This yellow’s burning my eyes The sky reminds me the shit I made I’m getting lost in a sunny day Circle in the sand Made by the prints of my feet Circle in the air The vultures over me Circle in my head Ooooh Circle in the sand Starting point again The path is awfully the same The truth is striking down my face The desert keeps calling my name But I refuse to die in this place Circle in the sand Made by the prints of my feet Circle in the air The vultures over me Circle in my head Ooooh Circle in the sand Starting point again

Black Ink 05:31

One morning I decided to Stop laughing, drink a coffee and face the truth So here I am inside the city train Among the mob staring into space I’m gripped by every single lie That I tell myself to sleep at night Cattle train and big distress So turn around and and go back to sleep, yeah Cause I don’t wanna get more black than this So puke it out, all the fuckin’ ink, yeah The shit I swallow everyday In the evening I don’t really know If I wanna cry or kill someone But in the end I try with Moscow Mule And so I start to laugh so soon Dancing in the disco I never think about my stupid life And I can share my pics with friends So turn around and and go back to sleep, yeah Cause I don’t wanna get more black than this So puke it out, all the fuckin’ ink, yeah The shit I swallow everyday Or let the patience evaporate, yeah Destruction on the way Five hundred thousand bombings are really nothing Compared to my rage Fear always bends Fear always drives Fear always keeps us down Fear always bends Fear always drives Fear now is falling down It’s falling down

about

City Birds are six rockets fired haphazardly, six splinters pointing
straight to your ears, fueled by rock and driven by the madness of
the six characters who tell us their annoying, disturbed and
disturbing stories. Six CITY BIRDS that kick you in the ass, six songs
that make you get the fuck up and push you to revolt actively,
laugh coarsely, dance clumsily, get wildly pissed off and smile at
fucked up things of life
