the JIP Band – No War

1) Don´t fear the bloody TV screens, machine guns, children´s death screams

Don´t cry for cruelty at all

Don´t need no bullets in the sky, bodies in the streets to ask why

Just hurt the one you love – it´s war

R) No war, No war

Stop hurting, stop hurting

No more, No more war

2) No hate, no racism, no torture, no chains, no prisons

No more lost lives, no jealousy

Don´t ask where hate comes from How can this world be one

If even two can´t live together and free

the JIP Band - Assholes Fly

1) Newspapers say: there are Nazis in the parliament again

Newspapers say: we send children into death camps

My neighbour says, he needs blinds against refugees

Won´t you stop it, please?

R) When assholes fly and prod the crowd, we die in nuclear fall out

When human rights are gunned down, this is our time

When assholes fly and prod the crowd, we die in nuclear fall out

When human rights are gunned down we´re gonna stand up, stand up

2) Some good fall silent, others are lost in shit storms

Newscasts are shut down, tv shows beautiful dawns

My neighbour says, they should go back where they came from

Will we stay that dumb

B) Where is our better world?

Get free, get human, get loud, get up

Get fair, get human, get on, get up

the JIP Band - The Sea

1) roll the waves, roll the waves to carry me to my place of dreams, to where I want to be,

jump me in the water, I‘m sinking to be free, I‘m sinking to be me

2) take me to a place, where we may Forget any trouble, any pain, all we regret

push me under water, I‘m sinking to be free, I‘m sinking to be me

B) I know you can be cruel/ you can be darker than death

we may become your siren‘s fools/ you‘re the beginning and the end

3) from a grey sky I hear the seagulls call. how I wish to get away from it all

to the ocean‘s shore, where I will be free, where I will be me

R) I wish you would take me to the sea

the JIP Band - Better Me

1) I got you wrong, you get me wrong. Silence, tears and a sad song, a vain apology

Are we here to make mistakes? One wrong word, your heart breaks, I swear, it shouldn´t be

I´m tired of saying sorry, let´s write a different Story With who I want to be

R) If my better me, meets your better you, will it be a good time? Will there be love too?

If my better me, meets your better you, is there understanding, will we find peace too?

2) World goes wrong, she needs a change from sorrow, frontiers, wars and pain, from hate to love

Give a little more sympathy, freedom and understanding and I will start with me

I´m tired of saying sorry, let´s write a different Story, we just need to agree

B) We need to change now, we need to change now

Meet my better me, meet your better you

Verstehen wir uns dann? Werden wir auch Frieden finden?

the JIP Band - Song For Greta

1) Sweet, sweet life, my bitter experience

we´re doing wrong with too much information

We are far beyond the point of no return

Pretty far away from saying: lesson learned

R) So let´s be doers, heroes, dreamers too

Let´s be environmental activists, that’s what we all should do

Let´s be more Greta and less Trump

Let us learn from schoolgirls, not staying fat and dumb

2) Sweet, sweet life, what to do with our time on earth

Being part of a wrong system just hurts

There should be more than birth, school, work, death

So make a stand, don´t be more or less

3) Sweet, sweet life, my bitter experience

we´re running out of time, but left with perfect arrogance

We destroy it all for money, how could it come so far

But there is no second earth in the rear trunk of our car

R) So let´s be doers, heroes, dreamers too

Let´s be environmental activists, that’s what we all should do

Let us learn from schoolgirls who act, not only talk

Help them grab their future, so it is no more dark
