Hate Us 02:22
You think something's weird here. I say something's queer here. You say I'm prude, and also rude. You think I'm frustrated, I think I just made it: Not to be rated, but to be hated! Let's make them hate us! I'm not too big, I'm not too strong! I'm not too loud, I'm not too proud! My skirt's not too short, my pant's not too loose! I'm not your baby, I'm just not your baby! We're not your baby! Hey little boy, come home with me! I will make you cry I will make you sigh. I will break you down, I will take you high, I will show you, what I'm up to! Let's show them, what we're up to! We're not what you want, but we're what you get! We don't talk when we're spoken to! We shout it out, 'cause it's time to! I hope you can see, that we are not your phantasy! We're not your phantasy!

When I hear you talk today About who you love and why you stay You sound like one of those Barbie-Zombies My rebel girl is down on her knees! What happened to our drunken poetry? Our lives on the run and the nights by the fire? To the girl who kicked in doors and yelled at strangers? And who told me, that we can change stuff? Please don't wear that grey pullover It says I was wild but now I'm older It says I do care what they're thinking 'cause I choose their way of living Is that the way it's gonna be? That everyone's growing up but me? But you're not growing you just gave up! For a life that is just fucked up! You want a job 9 to 5 And a machoman in your life And no wrinkles on your face And no politics in your space And no fat on your hips Shut up can't hear that bullshit!

Nature, Baby 03:18

Home 04:26
What is this place, you got here It feels so warm it's so weird this life might be worse a trial I'll call it home and stay a while ran away ran away, found a place to stay home home I'd like to let you inside but sorry I haven't cleaned up right there's clothes on the floor and a man at the door and booze by the bed and my flowers are dead ran away ran away, found a place to stay home home

Paradox 04:09
Don't fight with me Or try to make me someone I can never be Change myself is not the key This girl you want she's weak and lame I don't ever wanna be the same And she is not who you fell for But now you don't feel for me nomore You want me, I thought you want me You want me to be a paradox paradox I should be more affectionate And willing and passionate I just don't feel enough Or I don't try hard enough Whom you want is an amazon but in a bra and with make up on Her riot's just accessory The feminist of your phantasy You want a girl that's free but by your side let go but hold on tight wild but bow to love Strong but not too tough

Models 03:49
Tv shows and yellow press throw up images on you and me pretending a reality of how we should be stupid who believes in it who does not believe in it? how we should look and feel how we should walk and talk how we should love and hate how we should eat and starve Models don’t equal beauty You are thin, always have been there are many, you’re just one of them You wanna feel special, you wanna have control Control with body and soul Hands off! your finger’s down your throat it’s off your hands, you loose yourself a little less weight, less and less And you’re gonna feel pretty Is that what you believe? Models don’t equal beauty Obsessed with yourself You start to disappear

Stop telling 03:24
I don't believe in economy - this isn't crisis but normality I don't believe in the price of things - I just see the mess it brings I think if you're gonna eat their lies - you let them suck out all your life I don't think these walls where meant to fall - but you've heard it all Stop telling me you heard it all - you act like you never thought at all Stop telling me you heard it all - if so why is your world so small I don't believe in man and wife - this life won't catch me alive I don't believe in boys and girls - all these rolls just make us worse I don't believe in psychology - I'd rather fight reality I think after all we're not that small - but you've heard it all

Can't kill 02:39
I have done nothing but fighting year after year after year after year and all I get is scars and bruises now I feel I can't do it no longer now my looks can't kill any longer and my heart doesn't love no more we've all taken candy from strangers we've all gotten drunk to forget we've all carried each other home we've all smoked that last cigarette

I never offered you an apple This apple was mine just mine A present from the snake my friend Oh you must have been so jealous Everything on this fucking world is yours So you never learned to ask for shit You took that apple by force And told everyone I was asking for it You never threw a stone Cause your body's not a battlefield Today I'm throwing the first stone And I'm taking back my apple Everything on this fucking world is yours So you never learned to ask for shit You took that apple by force And told everyone I was asking for it I wasn't asking for it
12.
from the ashes of our cigarettes - we rise like phoenix from the bottom of the bottle - deep thoughts are rising from the top of our lungs - we scream like maniacs we're not sleeping we're not eating - we are keeping the feeling we are never going home - no we will never be alone - no the itch on your skin is just the itch to break out break your own rules - be your own fool don't take what they sold you - tell them what you told me can you feel the music can you use it can you dance like it's your last chance

don't ask 01:55

this place broke every bone in my body messed me up never put me back together I wanna yell in their faces erase my last traces and leave forever I wanna burn this city down I wanna tore their house down all these bricks that no one's throwing through the curtains that they're closing I wanna throw the empty bottles of my memories towards the souvenirs of their false history

about

Megaphones Cologne, Germany

Inspired by riot grrrl and sparked off by a DIY-mood at the ladyfest Aachen, Megaphones got started. With neither a set concept nor experience, but with drums, a guitar, a mikrokorg and a pink megaphone, the trio created a distinct and rousing lo-fi punk sound. Their lack of perfection is overpowered by an energetic stage presence, creativity und an up-front feminist attitude. ... more
