Lyrics – Hardy Weiss

BASE MENT (AL) – 08 Hear That Sound

Someone must play the fool
Someone has to break the rules
Someone’s always staying cool
If no one does evolution stops soon
Before you start to count, the floor’s one on the ground (You’ve gotta have it, gotta have it)
Hip today for the crowd, they all want that sound (They’ve gotta have it, gotta have it)

Hear that sound that we played the other day
You’ve gotta hear that sound before you’re running away
You’ve gotta hear that sound it’s a kind of noise some people say
You’ve gotta hear that sound it may be hip the other day

Listen to some really cool funny grooves in that tune
Simply counting one to four
Adding notes to the bass on the floor
Now that you’ve found your sound it’s spreading around (You’ve gotta have it, gotta have it)
Hip today for the crowd, they all want that sound (They’ve gotta have it, gotta have it)

BASE MENT (AL) – 07 One Track Mind

They don’t know what to do with the power they got this time
Acting just like fools how can one be so blind?
They’ve got a one track mind, acting so unkind
A sign of the times that they’ve got a one track mind
They know the things behind, why so unkind?
A sign of the times that they’ve got a one track mind

Hey now, no time for extremes now
Hey now, no time for lethargie now

All I see I can’t believe that this happens all the time
If I could do I would change a few that got a one track mind

They even think it’s cool painting all in black and white
Not aware that most is grey but this they try to hide
They’ve got a one track mind, acting so unkind
A sign of the times that they’ve got a one track mind
They know the things behind, why so unkind?
A sign of the times that they’ve got a one track mind

Hey now, no time for extremes now
Hey now, no time for lethargie now

All I see I can’t believe that this happens all the time
If I could do I would change a few that got a one track mind
All I see I can’t believe that this happens all the time
If I could do I would change a few that got a one track mind

Hey now, no time for extremes now
Hey now, no time for lethargie now

They’ve got a one track mind, acting so unkind
A sign of the times that they’ve got a one track mind
They know the things behind, why so unkind?
A sign of the times that they’ve got a one track mind

All I see I can’t believe that this happens all the time
If I could do I would change a few that got a one track mind

BASE MENT (AL) – 06 Take It Leave It

Take it, leave it, watch the way you’re treated
just beat it making a careful choice now

We’ve gotta tell you what we learned about life when the emotions rising higher
you better calm down and use your brain before you set this house on fire
do you trust what you hear about it only believe things that you’ve proofed
some don’t like facing the facts but if you don’t you might be fooled

Emotions rising higher can set the world on fire

Take it, leave it, watch the way you’re treated
Take it, leave it, watch the way you’re treated
just beat it making a careful choice now

If someone tells you cheating does the trick stop and think and be persistent
you better think twice and use your brain before you move yourself into distress
the more you do the more you will learn about the general human nature
and only fools can not understand and that’s why some might just hate you

Emotions rising higher can set the world on fire

Take it, leave it, watch the way you’re treated
Take it, leave it, watch the way you’re treated
just beat it making a careful choice now

Emotions rising higher can set the world on fire

Take it, leave it, watch the way you’re treated
Take it, leave it, watch the way you’re treated
just beat it making a careful choice now

BASE MENT (AL) – 05 Down In Wasteland

Coming to a place I’ve been before nothing changed at first sight
Walking down the floor open the door kind of coming home

But then I see right in front of me a big huge metal bin
“Bin it” still one of the words it appears everybody’s using over and over again
Sustainability an unknown word to the people living down in wasteland
the media can’t trust their words, so many channels that it hurts down in wasteland
down in wasteland – down in wasteland – down in wasteland
where the people on the street start to feel the heat

Walking down the street I walked before empty shops at first sight
Not closed one, closed all, except one little store so what’s going on?
How can that be? It appears to me something’s running out of control
Strange changes all over the place and it’s a place I went to over and over again

Sustainability an unknown word to the people living down in wasteland
the media can’t trust their words, so many channels that it hurts down in wasteland
down in wasteland – down in wasteland – down in wasteland
where the people on the street start to feel the heat

BASE MENT (AL) – 04 Stuck In Indiana

Took a small rental car down in Newark
Went from New Jersey straight west to PA
Arrived in Reading at night, a solar farm to the right,
Had a beer at the bar before I felt tired
Went on to the town where the Steelers are around,
as well the Pirates and the Penguins
Things have changed I could see at the three river place
it’s been a while since I last went there

I mean, so far, ok, but was there something maybe unusual on your trip as well? I mean, maybe, something unexpected?

Stuck in Indiana blame it to the weather storm direction Chicago
Planes stay on the ground, you’re lost but may be found,
had to find a place I could go

Oh, ok, I see, but I didn’t want you to stop, please go on, what else happened during your trip? Where else did you go and what else did you see? Tell me.

Well on my through PA, listen to what I say, I was driving the Old-Lincoln-Highway,
And the car that I had, had a problem getting up the Blue Mountains, very ugly,
Once I got to Latrobe, I mean there was some hope, that the car could really make it,
When I arrived, sick and tired, a home made burger made me recharging myself again

A burger, huh? And the car wasn’t that powerful, was it? But what was that Idiana and storm thing again? I didn’t catch that.

Stuck in Indiana blame it to the weather storm direction Chicago
Planes stay on the ground, you’re lost but may be found,
had to find a place I could go

Ah, ok, can you give me some more details on that one? Sounds weird somehow. What was the part of that story about? Come on, tell me…

The other day on my way to Indiana again, I had a quite long ride through Ohio,
Thunderstorm showing up, tons of raining drops, I couldn’t see six foot ahead,
So the cars had to stop, waiting ’til it past by, and it did after a while,
Had a connecting flight back to Europe at night but that was cancelled, what a surprise

Oh, oh, that doesn’t sound funny. When they cancel a flight when you have another connecting one. Now I got it!

Stuck in Indiana blame it to the weather storm direction Chicago
Planes stay on the ground, you’re lost but may be found,
had to find a place I could go
Stuck in Indiana blame it to the weather storm direction Chicago
Planes stay on the ground, you’re lost but may be found,
had to find a place I could go

BASE MENT (AL) – 03 Time Is The One Thing

Time’s sliding , passing by and hiding
It’s speeding before you grow old
I can’t hide it, a day’s too short to fight it
Carpe Diem – Live for the day

You better live for the day – get things on their way
You better live for the day now

Time is the one thing that money can’t buy
Use your time to do the things you want for your life
Time is the one thing that is passing by
Use the time to do the things that you want for your life

Complaining, all the time refraining,
doesn’t help us since that’s the wrong way
Stop talking, act and start the walking
It’s a journey with an open end

You better live for the day – get things on their way
You better live for the day now

Time is the one thing that money can’t buy
Use your time to do the things you want for your life
Time is the one thing that is passing by
Use the time to do the things that you want for your life

Keep going, don’t let them stop you showing
each step progressing your way
many steps done in the right direction
bring you closer to your reachable goal

You better live for the day – get things on their way
You better live for the day now

Time is the one thing that money can’t buy
Use your time to do the things you want for your life
Time is the one thing that is passing by
Use the time to do the things that you want for your life

BASE MENT (AL) – 02 Make A Move

Everything’s so bad I hear you say
In your life almost everything’s in your way
And you say you can’t stand this anymore
your last words when you closed the door

There’s nothing funny about blaming someone else
Doing stuff like that you end up hell
Life can be funny without blaming anything
Honesty is best policy

If you just wanna yell you better go straight to hell
What goes around comes around I can tell
You better make a move, don’t destroy the groove
You have to be careful with the things you do or say

The only thing that is standing in your way
Is your way of seeing things a negative way
And if you try to see things crystal clear
You will find all the good gears

There’s nothing funny about blaming someone else
Doing stuff like that you end up hell
Life can be funny without blaming anything
Honesty is best policy

If you just wanna yell you better go straight to hell
What goes around comes around I can tell
You better make a move, don’t destroy the groove
You have to be careful with the things you do or say

There’s nothing funny about blaming someone else
Doing stuff like that you end up hell
Life can be funny without blaming anything
Honesty is best policy

If you just wanna yell you better go straight to hell
What goes around comes around I can tell
You better make a move, don’t destroy the groove
You have to be careful with the things you do or say

BASE MENT (AL) – 01 The Fool

It’s kind of paranoid to control all the things we do
Collecting all these terabytes will run out of control soon
They try to legalize all illegal things they do
It’s time to tell these guys what they should and what they shouldn’t do

Destroying atmosphere, destroying privatsphere,
destroying all the things that make life worth living here

They try to tell ya, what you oughta do
and in the end you’re the one that’s the fool

Isolating all of us keeping us comfortably dumb
Some don’t even realize, we’re living under one big thumb
Forgot how to organize forgot what our life’s about
It’s time to awake from all their lies and show them that we know about

Destroying friendship here, implementing tons of fear,
destroying all the things that make life worth living here

They try to tell ya, what you oughta do
and in the end you’re the one that’s the fool

Destroying atmosphere, destroying privatsphere,
destroying all the things that make life worth living here

They try to tell ya, what you oughta do
and in the end you’re the one that’s the fool
They try to tell ya, what you oughta do
and in the end you’re the one that’s the fool

Serendipity – 10 Warming

Talking ’bout global warming but you say, it doesn’t exist
Ignoring all proofed warnings and ignored, all the things that were said

You feel innocent, that’s what you pretend
Even though you know it’s not the truth yeah
We share the earth my friend, it’s not your island in the end
and you know that this is true yeah

So you’re standing there looks like you don’t care
oh that’s not fair you’re pushing the warming
Saying you don’t no where, is a lie, it’s everywhere
Still looks like you don’t care and still pushing the warming day & night

You’re wasting energy whithout end, you’re on the wrong track
As long as it’s there you’re taking a risk that ran out of control now

You feel innocent, that’s what you pretend
Even though you know it’s not the truth yeah
We share the earth my friend, it’s not your island in the end
and you know that this is true yeah

Serendipity – 09 Play It Loud

This is the time – to live your dream
You can be anything you wanna be
Just let the rhythm – take the control
Get up and let the good times roll

Get the real thing, just let it swing
catch the groove, get in an easy mood
Listen into, can you hear it ring
This is it, a kind of sinners swing

We – like to play it loud – We’ve got a groove that makes you move
That’s – what it’s all about – It’s kind of fun like Heavy Metal Funk

It took a while, to feel the need
Like a relation or like growing weeds
But once it’s found, the sound grows loud
You’ll never give it up, addicted to the sound

Get the real thing, just let it swing
catch the groove, get in an easy mood
Listen into, can you hear it ring
This is it, a kind of sinners swing

We – like to play it loud – We’ve got a groove that makes you move
That’s – what it’s all about – It’s kind of fun like Heavy Metal Funk
