No… my songs ain’t gonna change the world.
Sure… My words are used to being unheard.
Time… is the only thing that I deserve…
CHORUS:
yeah yeah!!
I feel like I’m rolling the boulder.
Like the myth of Sisyphus.
I'll go back when I get to the top.
I am the king Sisyphus
I… don’t mind who I’ve been punished by.
My… eternal doom became a game.
Joy… each time I almost reach the heights.
Bliss… each time the rock rolls down again.
CHORUS:
The myth of rock and roll
became the myth of the rolling rock.
CHORUS:

You were just a little child,
you weren’t able to understand.
You ignored what
was going on.
Something must be wrong.
You couldn’t move your legs, or move your arms.
Your body hurt, but you kept calm.
Things went out of control, you couldn’t even crawl.
CHORUS:
Yeah, someone has put a spell on you.
After I while you felt fine.
The doctor told you: “you’re in good health.
I’m sure you will get well.
You’re a lucky little girl…"
You went home, you went to school.
Then life went on as it should,
but one day you looked at yourself
and you didn’t know who you really were.
CHORUS:

3. |
Are you on their side?
04:00
|

|
They lie to you but you don't mind. From the early morning untill late at night.
Are you on their side?
Watch TV news, their purifying rite, if you believe in all this pantomime,
I say: all right!
CHORUS:
Don’t you find a reason to shout?
Your patience is about to run out.
Come on and raise your voice out loud
The heavier burden you can bear, the more you think you have what you deserve,
the less you will share.
Now you’re becoming just one more of them. They colonize lands but also brains.
That’s their game.
CHORUS
The fire has already broken out, its light seduces you to go inside.
I know it’s so bright.
You see the brightness but you ignore its heat. While you adore your golden
divinity,
I don’t accept your creed.
CHORUS
Just try to change a simple thing.
Listen to your inner voice and think.
Deep inside there is a seed.
Let it grow, and you will see...
Let’s connect your will to your thoughts
Let’s connect your thoughts to your acts
Let’s connect your acts to your vote
Remove the oppressor from his throne

Transition
03:14
|
|||
|
Earth does not belong to you.
greed will make us disappear.
You’ve got the wealth and whatever you fancy,
but nothing can meet your needs.
You’ve got the right to own goods that make you happy.
You can possess everything.
You are an addict, your drug is wiping us out.
You’re causing our ruin.
You can’t stop feeding this devouring creature.
You’re finishing with mother nature.
CHORUS:
(Going back to human roots)
I know. My decision has been made.
I know. There’s nothing else to say
No one must ever tell me what to do.
I know the way to reach the truth.
My mind has changed, I left behind my wishes.
I got rid of my ambition.
Now it’s not the time to multiply fishes.
It’s just time for self ignition.
We’ve all been trained to consume and succeed,
to be the one and only.
I’ve realized I don’t need ultra high speed.
I’ve chosen to decrease slowly.
CHORUS:

5. |

|
Someone’s calling on my phone,
I can hear its awful ringtone.
I pick up the cell and say “hello”
Misfortune always comes again
I can feel the tone of his voice
It sounds like something you have heard before
when kind words can hurt like a sword.
We have reached the sky with our hands.
I thought we felt the same vibes when we were high,
but now I guess your wishes have flown away
like promises that no one cares.
Misfortune always comes again
A sailor leaves the boat,
another bump in the road
I press the button of my phone
I tell myself I must be strong
It’s time to repack stuff and go on
Misfortune always comes again

Here We Are
03:21
|

|
CHORUS:
Yeah here we are once again
M-O-O-N C-R-E-S-T-A
We’ve got the funk and the power,
we play some noisy rock for you for hours and hours.
Each song we write is a bright light that shines in the black sky.
We struggle night after night. We celebrate our musical rite.
Some think we´re rough others polite.
We always try to give you the best we have inside.
We turn on the amps, burn the valves,
take off from the stage through the crowd, have fun with you.
Although sometimes we feel so blue.
We sing our tunes and everybody starts feeling so cool.
ain´t got no succes, as you guess,
we´re not really looking for excess or some sex.
We just wanna rock with no stress but some respect.
Should we be ashamed of ourselves?
CHORUS:
Yeah here we are once again
M-O-O-N C-R-E-S-T-A
I still need this stuff as a drug,
I feel the needle when I connect the plug, and through my blood,
the electricity begins to surge up.
My heart is wired to my guitar just like a pump.
Every time the music stops, something shocks
my whole soul as the impact of a rock.
A huge knock gets me blocked.
There´s an ocean of emptiness and I´m a small drop.
But when we are onstage, I grab the mike and I can take my breath
now I feel ok, though I can’t get as much as I expected.
CHORUS

No Time to Waste
04:19
|
|||
|
Be brave, like a spunky girl.
You fight, like a warrior girl.
‘Cause you must be as strong as you want,
‘cause the world belongs to you
and no one should stop you.
Cry, boy, if you need to shed some tears.
Be sensitive don´t be ashamed of it.
You can be as tender as you want,
no matter how you express yourself.
And no one should judge you.
CHORUS:
We have to rise above all these nonsensical roles.
Now we cannot wait, and it is getting late.
It happens day after day so there is no time to waste.
Change codes, you must think on your own.
We´ll attain a new state of affairs.
You want to join the revolution
because it’s just the wisest choice
and no one will silence your voice.
CHORUS:

Charlatan
02:59
|
|||
|
I met a man his name was Silver Master Oracle
I heard his voice. His speech was gloomy and metaphorical.
With cryptic words
he told me why my steps had led me there.
CHORUS:
(Don’t trust…)
He’s not a fortune teller, he’s a charlatan.
Don’t you know?
He’s not a fortune teller, he’s a charlatan.
He recommended me to be much more self critical
because my life so far was just completely pitiful.
He advised me
to sell my soul and give him my will.
CHORUS:
He could foresee my whole fate
CHORUS:

That Kind of Man
02:35
|
|||
|
The first time you realize that you´re that kind of man
you can’t believe what they are saying about you.
CHORUS:
You never thought that it would happen to you,
then you won`t admit the truth
though it´s something you can’t deny.
You can’t accept it, your anger grows,
you consider that’s not your fault.
This is how things usually go.
Once you have recognized
that sometimes you are wrong,
you might begin to doubt,
you won’t even trust yourself.
You´ll reeducate your speech,
your gestures and your thinking.
Nobody said it would be easy.
Start breaking those old rules,
start creating some new clues,
stop perpetuating conducts
of all that kind of men.
CHORUS:
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
Sometimes you must reflect and take your time.
(just to change your mind)
Those jokes you laugh at and those rude compliments.
(That is not the way)
You think that you behave like a gentle man.
(And all women will like that)
Freedom is being hurt, you know, they’ve got no space.
Have you ever thought ‘bout this abuse?
CHORUS:
You cannot stay out of this, don’t turn a blind eye.
(Don’t fool around, don’t play the silly teaser)
The key is in your acts
(Don’t fool around, don’t play the silly teaser)
Respect for women´s rights
(Don’t fool around, don’t play the silly teaser)
Don´t you believe that this submission is the brutal truth?
(Come on, have a look)
Inquire all these women that you really love
(Daughter, sister or mum)
Those clothes, those streets, their make-up and their companies
(They seem to be menaces)
Let’s start revising your attitude, that’s the threat.
CHORUS:

Mr. Know-it-All
03:25
|
|||
|
How do you feel,
indifferent and free?
Show us the light, and open our minds.
The golden mean makes you the meanest one.
Hey guy!
you’re a confident man,
you always know what to say
‘cause you hold the whole truth
with your right hand.
Mr. Know-it-all,
you condemn what is wrong,
you defend your confort,
‘cause reality is what you see just around you
CHORUS:
You always see the world from above
You’re the only one, Mr. Know-it-all.
You enjoy preaching to everyone.
That’s your mission man, Mr. Know-it-all.
Hey man,
your convictions are strong,
but you ain´t sure where they come from.
You keep them with care inside your wallet.
Hey dude,
you don’t need any book
to contrast points of view
‘cause your knowledge seems deep, but it sounds hollow
How do you feel,
indifferent and free?
Show us the light, and open our minds.
CHORUS:
