    DR. STEIN
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    And we, we start now with the first single from the...  ...taken from the LP.
    It's a... It's a song about Frankenstein.
    I mean that's not the song, but it's pretty cool.
    Are you ready for Dr. Stein!?
    
    Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
    Now he's making better ones on a higher step
    
    On a warm summer day the doctor went away
    To a place where he could make it real
    His assistant's hips were nice
    So he cloned her once or twice
    Now his hips are aching what a deal
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Lets them run into the night
    They  become great
    Rock musicians
    And their time is right
    
    Sometimes when he's feeling bored
    He's calling it a day
    He's got his computer and they do in their own way
    
    They mix some DNA, some skin and a certain spray
    You can watch it on a laser screen
    And the fellow's blue and gray
    Or sometimes pink and green
    Just check it out on Halloween
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Lets them run into the night
    They  become great politicians
    And their time is right
    
    One night he cloned himself
    Put his brother on a shelf
    But when he fell asleep that night
    It crept up from behind and thought "Well, never mind "
    Took a syringe and blew out his life
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Lets them run into the night
    They become a great possession
    And their time is right
    
    Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
    Let's them run into the night
    They become a great oppression
    And their time is right
    Time is right
    Time is right
    Time is right!
    
    Thanks, thanks a lot..
    Um, maybe, maybe you turn on the lights over there so I can see the people, okay?
    Okay?  Hey, that's a good one.  It's a savage pumpkin, right?
    Yeah, any more of these?
    It looks good, great.  Really.
    A lot of people here tonight, I don't know, it's not sold out, uh?
    But...  I mean, it's not bad, really...  For the first time.
    You haven't seen us before, so...  You don't know.
    
    


    RISE AND FALL
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    This is the rise and the fall...
    
    Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit
    Everyone could see him fall
    And be sure it's been his last hit
    He's never been seen at all
    
    Some dictator felt progressive
    And laid down in the sun
    But his people were agressive
    They killed him with a gun
    
    Sometimes you're wrong
    By some things you have done
    You see fate is too strong
    Nothing's won
    No use for a fight 
    If you're not acting right
    You'll be cut down to size
    Like a lie
    
    It's the rise and fall
    The prize for all
    That ain't nice at all
    Luck is like a ball
    You can't recall or care at all
    So better use your brain!
    
    A little dragon could spit fire
    But never so for something bad
    He didn't know the knight's desire
    To throw a lance into his head
    
    Romeo loved his Juliet
    Their parents told them "Stop"
    Then it all turned out peculiar
    He couldn't get it up
    
    And it's all in vain
    When you're living with pain
    Reap not goods you have grown
    by your own
    Feelings your like
    Disapear over night
    You sip up every grin
    Free to win
    
    It's the rise and fall
    The prize for all
    That ain't nice at all
    Luck is like a ball
    You can't recall or care at all
    You nearly go insane!
    
    A spaceman files the rocket
    That takes him to the stars
    Thinks his wife is in his pocket
    But she's strolling 'round in bars
    
    The king of Los Angeles
    Bought himself a Teddy bear
    And the queen became shameless
    She did it with a chair
    
    Sometimes you're  wrong
    By some things you have done
    You see fate is too strong
    Nothing's won
    No use for a fight 
    If you're not acting right
    You'll be cut down to size
    Like a lie
    
    It's the rise and fall
    The prize for all
    That ain't nice at all
    Luck is like a ball
    You can't recall or care at all
    So better use your brain!
    
    


    HOW MANY TEARS
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Now...  To go...  (People booing)
    Yeah, really, I tell you.  (Booing and whistling continue)
    So then you want another one?  (*YEAAH!*)
    All right, (starts encore) here we go, here we go,
    here we go, here we go...  (Public continues with encore)
    You like that, uh?  I knew it.
    This is...  (Polka plays)
    This is a song from Walls of Jericho.
    The last one; this one is called How Many Tears.
    He wrote it!
    
    A lot of things occur each day
    We've got to live with on our way
    There's so much misery on the screen
    With commercials in between
    
    And the Russians won't be so late
    Uncle Sam don't wanna wait
    No matter if you're black or white
    You'll never ever have a right
    
    So look up to the eternal skies
    See warfare even there
    What once has been a paradise
    Now destruction and despair
    
    In other worlds the children die
    Lacking food, ill from a fly
    Oppressed by troops to tame their land
    It's all the same again
    
    If any man is free on earth
    Then tormentors steal his birth
    They slam gun butts in his face
    And leave his woman choked in mace
    
    So stand up for our human rights
    Push back this pest of hate
    Raise your voice pass on the light
    Unite! It's not too late
    
    How many tears flow away
    To become a sea of fears
    How many hearts are torn apart
    Till another torment starts
    
    But before the world
    Turns into a sun
    All cruelty and violence
    On earth will be dead and gone
    
    So stand up for our human rights
    Push back this pest of hate
    Raise your voice pass on the light
    Unite! It's not too late
    
    How many tears flow away
    To become a sea of fears
    How many hearts are torn apart
    Till another torment starts
    
    But before the world
    Turns into a sun
    All cruelty and violence
    On earth will be dead and gone
    
    Thank you!
    Fucking great!
    See you next city...!
    On the other roads...
    See ya!
