Tankard - Pavlov’s Dawgs lyrics



Tracks



01. Pavlov's Dawg

I'm not a fiend of booze-evoked pleasures
I love beer, whisky and gin
Every swallow lifts up my high spirits
Sip by sip it's pulling me in
After a while the procedure would alter
The cap goes up and I'm instantly drunk
One sound, yet I'm happy
Paradise by the opening plunk

Hear the bottle open
It takes me away
Can't control my body
So I must obey

I hear the fizz, I hear the plopp
And it occurs to me, I am Pavlov's dawg
I hear the fizz, I start to drool
And it occurs to me, I am Pavlov's fool

My life is great, the parties come easy
What's this curse fallin' on, on me?
Bottle opens, I'm starting to tumble
Feeling numb, my eyes just won't see
I'm getting sick by the sound of a bottle
My head explodes by an opening can
I got one hangover
Party's over before it's begun

Hear the bottle open
It takes me away
Can't control my body
So I must obey

I hear the fizz, I hear the plopp
And it occurs to me, I am Pavlov's dawg
I hear the fizz, I start to drool
And it occurs to me, I am Pavlov's fool

Hear the bottle open
It takes me away
Can't control my body
So I must obey

I hear the fizz, I hear the plopp
And now I know for sure, I am Pavlov's dawg
I hear the fizz, I start to drool
And now I know for sure, I am Pavlov's fool

I hear the fizz, I hear the plopp
And now I know for sure, I am Pavlov's dawg
I hear the fizz, I start to drool
And now I know for sure, I am Pavlov's fool

02. Ex-Fluencer

Part of the madness, part of the game
For years she posted her life, increased her fame
Became the best in business, advertising mega-brands
Value of billions, big managements

Ratings assured her one desire
Prisoner of social networks full of followers and liars
A cage of likes and dislikes, FOMO: fear of missing out
Ratings assured her one desire

Ex-fluencer! Then she ran!
Been a victim of anxtagram
Ex-fluencer! Way out plan!
Claiming back youth from anxtagram

Clicks, sweat and tears 'til nervous breakdown
Starving? Depressions? She was payed to function anyhow
Highly addictive routine, fighting for acknowledgment
Clicks, sweat and team 'til nervous breakdown

Ex-fluencer! Then she ran!
Been a victim of anxtagram
Ex-fluencer! Way out plan!
Claiming back youth from anxtagram

Now she's a veteran of psychic wars
Exploited teenage actor, no slave no more
Today a self-made woman educating younger folks
Teachings of glamour of truth and hoax

Ex-fluencer! Then she ran!
Been a victim of anxtagram
Ex-fluencer! Way out plan!
Claiming back youth from anxtagram
Of anxtagram, from anxtagram

03. Beerbarians

Out of the twilight of time we appeared
The others still lived in the trees
We fed on fermented fruit from the ground
Other tribes were absentees
We found the wisdom
Wisdom a cut above
When all fruit was gone, we had to be shrewd
We had to brew the stuff that we loved

Grow the grain, restrain the fire
Build the wheel, lift mankind higher
Lift us higher
Faster roads, escape the mire
Aqueducts quench our desire
Our desire

We're the ones who move the world
They're calling us Beerbarians
Spreading out around the globe
We're Cosmoproletarians
Carry the fire
Enlighten you with liquid flames
Prometheus, here we go
Carry the fire

We had the parties that rocked the whole globe
Got brewing feasts every week
Beautiful women from all tribes around
Genetic diversity
Hooray for barley
For water, yeast and hop
Go, raise your tankard, it isn't the smarts
The lovers of beer take the world to the top

Grow the grain, restrain the fire
Build the wheel, lift mankind higher
Lift us higher
Faster roads, escape the mire
Aqueducts quench our desire
Our desire

We're the ones who move the world
They're calling us Beerbarians
Spreading out around the globe
We're Cosmoproletarians
Carry the fire
Enlighten you with liquid flames
Prometheus, here we go
Carry the fire

We're the ones who move the world
They're calling us Beerbarians
Spreading out around the globe
We're Cosmoproletarians
Carry the fire
Enlighten you with liquid flames
Prometheus, here we go
Carry the fire
Carry the fire
Enlighten you with liquid flames
Prometheus, here we go
Carry the fire

04. Diary Of A Nihilist

Is this a dream or a nightmare?
Am I asleep or awake?
Chaos was always my ally
Evil was always my faith
Pale white my skin, black leather
Bloodshot my yellow eyes
Friends called me doomed denier
I was a hater of life

My mind was changing
They showed it on the news
Society is burning

Anger and madness
The world is going nuts
Exceeding my own badness

I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on sunday
Time to pray

Humans destroying the planet
Plundering, ravenous race
I see the sinners and liars
Mega-corp laughs in my face
Demonic deeds and suffering
All hope forever lost
Hell came to earth, but no one gives a shit about the cost!

My mind was changing
They showed it on the news
Society is burning

Anger and madness
The world is going nuts
Exceeding my own badness

I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on sunday
Time to pray

Hurricane, fire and flooding
Famine and virus-attacks
Even the horsemen are jobless
Apocalypse made by us
Do we expect salvation?
Forgiveness for our shame?
Don't see the downward spiral?
Fuck off and die, who's to blame?!

My mind was changing
They showed it on the news
Society is burning

Anger and madness
The world is going nuts
Exceeding my own badness!

I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on sunday
Time to pray

I worshiped Satan
But now I'm cured
Took off my gothic outfit
And will walk holy ways
Meet me in church on sunday
Time to pray! Time to pray!
Diary of a nihilist! Time to pray!

05. Veins Of Terra

Don't feel uneasy, uncomfortable
Deny the proven facts, when nature takes its toll
Urbanization, temperatures rise
Fortunately not your earth, ignore the warning signs

Heard about H20? They say it's good for living
They say it's fundamental, check out this H20
What do they mean by "drought"?
All storage tanks are empty
Crisis and hydro-conflicts, what do they mean by "drought"?

The veins of terra, drying up right before my eyes
Only heat, salt and dust remains in the veins of terra
Scorched like Sahara, riverbeds show no sign of life
All we do is to pump the blood from the veins of terra

Human existence weighed in blue gold
Future demands will surge when population grows
Change of the climate, weather extremes
We'll all be emigrants when nothing's left than greed

Bought any aqua-stocks?
Some say they're super trendy
Brokers and politicians, they all love aqua-stocks
Dump carbon dioxide?
Trade greenhouse gas emissions
Solutions in slow motion, dump carbon dioxide?

The veins of terra, drying up right before my eyes
Only heat, salt and dust remains in the veins of terra
Scorched like Sahara, riverbeds show no sign of life
All we do is to pump the blood from the veins of terra

Bought any aqua-stocks?
Some say they're super trendy
Brokers and politicians, they all love aqua-stocks
Dump carbon dioxide?
Trade greenhouse gas emissions
Solutions in slow motion, dump carbon dioxide?

The veins of terra, drying up right before my eyes
Only heat, salt and dust remains in the veins of terra
Scorched like Sahara, riverbeds show no sign of life
All we do is to pump the blood from the veins of terra

The veins of terra, drying up right before my eyes
Only heat, salt and dust remains in the veins of terra
Scorched like Sahara, riverbeds show no sign of life
All we do is to pump the blood from the veins of terra

06. Memento

Overwhelmed by my own emotions
Memories, bulky waste of the past
All those! Regrets! Like burdens!
Shattered dreams, too old at last?
Yesteryear keeps on draining my progress
Would it help just to dump all the doubts?
Walled in! Chained up! In clutter!
Is this what my life is about?

Time has come for clean sweep
To clear up psychic souvenirs
Heirlooms out! Just anchors
Conquering them my sticky fears

Memento of a breakdown won't let it spoil my future plans
A tidal wave of changes will wash away my obvious trance
No sentimental sad frown cause I ain't dead, long lost or gone
Momento of a breakdown, a faithful heart has already won

Finally I feel motivation
Long enough been a slave of myself
Regain! Control! Stop whining!
Getting back my mental health
Venturing many new tomorrows
Mustn't wait 'til life passes by
Chin up! Chest out! Keep moving!
Good old days, fuck you and good bye!

Time has come for clean sweep
To clear up psychic souvenirs
Heirlooms out! Just anchors
Conquering them my sticky fears

Memento of a breakdown won't let it spoil my future plans
A tidal wave of changes will wash away my obvious trance
No sentimental sad frown cause I ain't dead, long lost or gone
Momento of a breakdown, a faithful heart has already won

Memento of a breakdown won't let it spoil my future plans
I'll wipe away my trance
No sentimental sad frown cause I ain't dead, long lost or gone
I have already won

Memento of a breakdown won't let it spoil my future plans
A tidal wave of changes will wash away my obvious trance
No sentimental sad frown cause I ain't dead, long lost or gone
Momento of a breakdown, a faithful heart has already won
Has already won, has already won

08. Dark Self Intruder

When boast is rising, I'll creep into yow mind
I'll grant you strength and power when boast is rising
Shielding your conscience, blocking reality
Remorse is made for weaklings shielding your conscience

Who needs info, who needs facts?
Spreading rumors, spreading lies
It feels good! It's easy!
Why don't you just polarize?
No discussions, no more friends
Turn a deaf ear to debates
You're smarter! You're better!
No winner would hesitate!

I'm your denial, racist delight
Religious propaganda, social divide
Spoiled evidence, truth undermined
Deliberately stubborn, purposely blind

Dark self intruder, come join my wicked game
Be my corrupted champion, dark self intruder
Manipulation, why should you feel ashamed?
My name is self-deception, dark self intruder

Authorized access to all your favorite sins?
You dream of being godlike? A firestarter?
If you seek trouble and lust for sabotage
Then I am the solution if you seek trouble

Rape or murder, child abuse, terrrorism, hate and crime
You don't show compassion, conversely you'll start to whine
Freedom is your Holy Grail but you're shackled like a fool
A manic fanatic has never a chance to move

I'm your denial, racist delight
Religious propaganda, social divide
Spoiled evidence, truth undermined
Deliberately stubborn, purposely blind

Dark self intruder, come join my wicked game
Be my corrupted champion, dark self intruder
Manipulation, why should you feel ashamed?
My name is self-deception, dark self intruder

Dark self intruder, come join my wicked game
Be my corrupted champion, dark self intruder
Manipulation, why should you feel ashamed?
My name is self-deception, dark self intruder

09. Lockdown Forever

This isolation is a blessing of heaven
All obligations of my former life fade
Completely safe, I'm in my apartment
For two years now, shorts parade

First they told us to plunder the food stores
Be prepared, a virus might come
Then they closed off the cities and highways
Home alone I noticed the fun

Karaoke games! Knitting and yoga! Never felt ashamed!

I want lockdown forever
TV surfing, pizza falt rate
Got my record collection
Metal music all night and day

I met a woman on some internet party
Love in an era when mask became king
Sex via Zoom, no physical romance
Porno movie worshiping!

Can't impress me with fake news and hate speech
Brewing beer instead I will learn
Writing memoirs on my toilet paper
Ain't that great, my daily concern?

Karaoke games! Knitting and yoga! Never felt ashamed!

I want lockdown forever
TV surfing, pizza falt rate
Got my record collection
Metal music all night and day

Karaoke games! Knitting and yoga! Never felt ashamed!

I want lockdown forever
TV surfing, pizza falt rate
Got my record collection
Metal music all night and day
It's my favorite outbreak!
Sweet embargo, social hygiene
Booked my online vacation
Watching football is my vaccine

Karaoke games!

10. On The Day I Die

On the day I die all my hopes fade
Every fact and lie gains importance
Have I been betrayed? Was it justice?
On the day I die losing my sense
Have I payed my dues? Now it's too late
On the day I die lapsed existence

It's shocking, horrendous and terrible news
Words I still can't believe
My doctor just told me that I'm gonna die
Twenty-four hours reprieve
In panic and anger I'm starting to scream
My mirror hears me well

"I'm leaving not quietly! I'll leave in a blaze!"
That even lights up hell

Keep the truth! Still so much I wanna do
No constraints! I'll be breaking all taboos

With peace of mind I'm looking back
No matter what will come, my life's been like a power pack
With peace of mind I welcome death
Reflecting things I did before I take my final breath

Some crazy skydiving and Everest climbs shopping by submarine
Hair waxing in slo-mo and blowjobs galore from alligator queens
A brawling with teachers I hated in school, time of the reckoning!
A ride on a rocket, a trip to the moon, volcano heat-surfing

Keep the truth! Still so much I wanna do
No constraints! I'll be breaking all taboos

With peace of mind I'm looking back
No matter what will come, my life's been like a power pack
With peace of mind I welcome death
Reflecting things I did before I take my final breath

On the day I die all my hopes fade
Every fact and lie gains importance
Have I been betrayed? Was it justice?
On the day I die losing my sense
Have I payed my dues? Now it's too late
On the day I die lapsed existence

With peace of mind I'm looking back
No matter what will come, my life's been like a power pack
With peace of mind I welcome death
Reflecting things I did before I take my final breath

With peace of mind I'm looking back
No matter what will come, my life's been like a power pack
With peace of mind I welcome death
Reflecting things I did before I take my final breath

On the day I die all my hopes fade
On the day I die losing my sense
