(Martin: This song just arose very spontaneously in the)
(rehearsal room while we were preparing for studio)
(cause we needed another headbanger song.)

(vers:)
oh yeah we are the hopeless generation
and so i wonder there's no revelation
you live in the past alright
(ref:)
ready to go
to the future
we are ready
to go on i know
to the limit
ready to go on
and on and on
(vers:)
take care of the good friends
maybe they are not like you
and see all the good things




go on to face the truth
you live ini the past alright
