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
the JIP Band - REFUGEE
1) You came from far away, you left your home
When I see your people dying, our problems seem so small
The future of three families paid your way
Now you´re a refugee, Now you´re a refugee, Now you´re a refugee,
R) You got to go/ You got to leave/ You got to pay smugglers and thieves
I got to think - I never knew
You got to swim/ You got to die/ You got to think a lullaby
Just like a thousand men before/ Just like a thousand times before
2) You woke up under desert skies, or under metal shields
I feel uncomfortable, if my shower does not have the perfect temperature
Thinking of you in the dark waves of the sea
Now you´re a dead man, Now you´re a dead man
B) I will write songs and letters to my government
I will not accept that drowning is your bitter end
I want to open every barricaded door
But today you are dying like a thousand times before
the JIP Band - The Good Man
1) I‘m the cities important person, not one of those freaks
when I‘m walking around, everyone bows
no dog would catch a fly if I don‘t agree
I bought the mayor, the court and the priests of this city
B) I‘m a honest citizen, why not become politician? you see, I paid for all, now take over some lives
R) I‘m always right, I‘m always right,
I‘m always right, I‘m a good man
2) my half-million-dollar-car has got the right of way
dead pedestrians are already paid
at my factories you‘ll see no shade of organized workers
cause I‘m the one who knows what‘s the best for them
B) don‘t need no co-determination, cause I‘m the boss and they‘re my men
you see, I paid for all, now take over their lives
R) I‘m always right, I‘m always right,
I‘m always right, I‘m a good man
3) I‘m a very important person, you‘re social inferiors
I‘m a diva, cause your hype gave it to me
If you feel small, I will make you feel much smaller
cause the only one who counts is me, me, me
B) yes, I‘m a star and you are ashes, once I had friends now I need them as slaves.
you see, you paid for all, let me now destroy your lives
R) I‘m always right, I‘m always right,
I‘m always right, I‘m a good girl
the JIP Band - Love Shines On
1) my dears, time to call it a day, quit your troubles, let them fly away
down here we‘re just Visitors to collect perfect moments on earth
but whatevers gonna make you smile, it will be alright
2) all‘s gone wrong, we need a Change from hunger, violence and pain
we didn‘t save the world today, but tomorrow, we will be on our way
and whatevers gonna make us smile, it will be alright
B) time goes by/ life dies away/ time flies/ day by day by day by day...
R) sun goes down a purple sky, kids are playing, it‘s the perfect time - after all only love shines on
when every colour fades away, there‘s only darkness left to stay - after all only love shines on
