Lyrics
Crooks We´re surrounded by crooks, every night and each day politics is their business, they don´t care anyway they believe poverty is fate, that´s the way it´s got to be, they sent the boys out dying enjoy a cup of tea Lies all over, nothing but lies ain´t that a big surprise? butchers in angels´disguise rather mediocre than wise If I could drink their damn oil and get high, I would Cause they're taking for fuel, the crops for food What if we listen and pray, and do what we're told We'll still go to hell while they play with black gold Lies all over, nothing but lies ain´t that a big surprise? butchers in angels´disguise rather mediocre than wise All around us are twats who live in strange places You see them on TV with their painted faces they get nailed in a talkshow, try hard to smile their smile turn the world upside down, first error, then trial Lies all over, nothing but lies ain´t that a big surprise? butchers in angels´disguise rather mediocre than wise Allons enfants de la patrie Contre nous de la tyrannie Les affameurs sous les projecteurs Les speculateurs dans le collimateur L'etendart sanglant est levé Tirez au coeur des opresseurs Mai 68! Soyons bolcheviques! En Ameriqie.. En Europe, en Afrique! Mai 68! We're surrounded by a seeing eye that watches us with wonder, From the time we're squeezed into this world until we're six feet under. It's cold and calculating making sure we follow the plan It''ll see before we rest in peace that we have paid the man. Lies all over, nothing but lies ain´t that a big surprise? butchers in angels´disguise rather mediocre than wise The care you take today, wont be a package till tomorrow But if surprise is what you want, then let it be We've given till it hurts, we've even given under sorrow A world of pain is all that's left to disagree Lies all over, nothing but lies ain´t that a big surprise? butchers in angels´disguise rather mediocre than wise Lies all over, nothing but lies ain´t that a big surprise? butchers in angels´disguise rather mediocre than wise rather mediocre than wise

Howdy Andreas... Another great collab from you. A most excellent cast of "characters" .... Smoking bass from Lee and guitar work from Gem...cool clavinet and Rhodes from Markuu...great percussion and as always...your vocals and production work shine. Another winner...that isn't afraid to tell it like it is. Hugs...Mike (NAV)

Another unique musically jazz influenced song by our friends at the Frankfurt Dialog Company! The lyrics are serious (but are still fun in a tongue-in-cheek or stick-in-eye sort of way) Great collab guys! > > > God Bless Ron

Thanks for letting me be a part of this. My kids are 4 and 6 years old, and they usually don't pay too much attention to my music hobby. I was playing "Crooks" and my 6 y/o son was dancing around, doing air guitar with Gem's solo, and he actually thought Dad was cool because of this. The rest of the day his catch phrase was "Wa wa wa Wa wa wa Wa Watch this" from that loopy break you did. Loved the whole thing: production, horns, Markku's Rhodes, Gem's solo, etc.
