He’s sitting in a room dreaming he is best And one day he will rule the world And he will always be better than the rest For he thinks he can fool the world You do not want me to say I remember the day When Hitler came back If people he don’t know dying in the war Why do you think that he would care He orders them to kill even many more They do it ’cos they’re militaire I try to tell you this way It’s a sorrowful day When Hitler came back After ending of the World War Two And all the horrors we saw then We said it would not ever happen again Now today it seems to have come true The horrors are here that we didn’t want again How could it ever be so That we don’t wanna know That Hitler came back Everybody sees that he’s telling lies But in his country they don’t know That what they see is something he must authorize It is a very reasoned show High in his tower he sits It’s as bad as it gets ’cos Hitler came back Yes Hitler came back Hitler came back

Woke up one morning I remembered the days before When business was as usual Sometimes good or not so good But on the whole quite OK Woke up one morning Destruction in the world Nothing was as usual Something hard to understand Happening in our time A small pathetic man Hiding behind a desk so long It’s hard to see the other side A small pathetic man Living in another world Very far from reality A small pathetic man A small pathetic man Woke up one morning Never thought it could be like this Just because some lunatic Thinks that he has the right To start a fight just because A small pathetic man … A small pathetic man A small pathetic man A small pathetic man A small pathetic man

Big Gun 03:10
He with the biggest gun will win But it doesn't necessarily mean That he's a good man He was only lucky to have the big gun He with the biggest gun will win But it doesn’t have to be that way Hear what I’m saying You don’t have to be right to have the big gun If you ain’t got nothing to say If you ain’t got nothing to do And you feel your life fades away Fumbling all around for the clue If you think you need some respect If you’re tired of having to run And you have something to protect Don’t believe it sits in your gun He with the biggest gun will win If you let him be on top of you But don’t you do that It makes no impression to have the big gun He with the biggest gun will win If you meet him when hi is not armed He’s just a coward He is only brave when he’s got the big gun There’s no guarantee Not for you nor me To live our lives in the free If we just let it be So don’t leave the biggest gun in charge Don’t let him rule the world Who’s got the big gun

I’m the King King over Universe I’m the White Man King over Universe I’ve got God on my side I’m the King over Universe I am the White Man I rule over everything I know the answer I know every song you sing Is there a secret you would like to know Where to go I won’t show In the beginning He gave me the greatest gift I am superior Someone that will never drift All I can say is that I’m always right Day and night I’m the light I’m the King… I can do what I please I’m the King over Universe I’m the King… I can take what I want I’m the King over Universe What is your problem I’ll show you the proper way Have your opinion I don’t care if you will say Colour or gender has no relevance Arrogance Is my stance I’m the King… I will make you my slave I’m the King over Universe I’m the King… You will always be wrong I’m the King over Universe

I don`t know what everybody knows I don`t know what everybody knows everybody knows that each fag is a rapist everybody knows that the gypsy will steal everybody knows there`s no honest Italian everybody knows that it ain`t no big deal everybody knows she`s a big yellow mama everybody knows she don`t know how to stop everybody knows when the moment is coming everybody knows she will never get up I`ve got travelling berries in a bottle I`ve got white zippers on my table I`ve got juicy fruits in my garden But I don`t know what everybody knows I don`t know what everybody knows Waiting for the day to come When the world will be as one meanwhile everybody knows that the nigger is lying everybody knows that a man doesn`t feel everybody knows that the sick man is faking everybody knows politicians ain`t real everybody knows I`m a misguided being everybody knows that I ain`t got no friend everybody knows there`s no time for discussion everybody knows I will die in the end I`ve got travelling berries … I don`t know what everybody knows I don`t know what everybody knows

The Emperor 04:24
The Emperor built a tower So tall it hit the sky When he was just a puppy He dreamed of climbing high Overlooking everything The Emperor has the power To tell who’ll live or die Before he went to office He learned to tell a lie So he could convince himself He says he does the right thing It couldn’t be more wrong To justify the fighting He’s changing short to long The Emperor takes a shower To wash away the blood He don’t want to remember Who he left in the mud Empathy is not his game The Emperor makes us cower And crawl in deepest dust A double-dealing person Impossible to trust Overlooking everything He says he does the right thing It couldn’t be more wrong To justify the fighting He’s changing short to long
7.
You Say 04:16
You say You must defend your right to kill The ones with a different meaning As if anyone opposing you Also would be against you You say You must defend your right to kill The ones with a different colour As if anyone with a coloured skin Would be somewhat inferior You ain`t got that right You ain`t got that right You ain`t got that right You ought to know You ain`t got that right… You say You must defend your right to kill The ones with a different religion As if any other name of god Would make such great a difference You say You must defend your right to kill The ones from another country As if drawing a line on a map Would make someone your enemy As if drawing a line on a map Would give you a certain right You ain`t got that right… You ain`t got that right… You ain`t got that right… You ain`t got that right… You ought to know You ought to know You ought to know

Don’t take what isn't yours Just because you can Don't take whatever you want It won't make you a man Do you think you have the right Show me how you got that might Don't take what isn't yours Fingers in the jar Leave traces everywhere No matter who you are Do you think nobody saw You just can't convince the law I wonder what goes on in your head What you think gives you the right To do what you please If you would try to be nice instead And let the others see you're polite To all attendees Don’t take what isn't yours Show us some respect Make sure you live as you're taught Behave as we expect Realize what mother said So you're not a living dead Realize what mother said So you're not a living dead
9.
Bet on You 02:59
Why should I place my bet on you And lose my money purposely Why do you think I'm set on you When I just want to be The one whose luck is free And be ahead of me Put your hand where it feels good Put your thing where the money is Build a brand for the future Go and sing where the money is But don't rely on me I know how it will be Why should I place my bet… Put away all your feelings Put them inside your hideaway Make your day for the future It’s too thin in your hideaway But don't rely on me I know how it will be Why should I place my bet… Why should I place my bet…

What if things are not what they will seem to be What if I am you and you are being me What if God was just another colored girl Would it foil what's your conception of the world What if guns were just a part of history Do you claim the armament necessity Is it right that you decide who'll live or die Your defense will make another mama cry Make it good Don’t make it bad Make it good Don’t make it bad Don't point your gun It might as well go off Don't point your gun Because you think you're tough You are just a coward Pathetic and delinquent Don't point your gun at anyone In the world the shit is going every day What is wrong with everybody anyway Money spent would have to go to those in need But instead induces us with blatant greed What if drugs could be reserved for their real course You could wake up to a day without remorse In my life I’d rather be a good old friend One that stays supportive till the bitter end Make it good … Don't point your gun … Don't point your gun at anyone Don't point your gun at anyone
11.
Heaven So you want to be in Heaven Where angels sing in joyful voices Everybody there rejoices If you want them to You don’t need to feel the hurry You don’t need to ever worry If you just believe what they can do Good times So you want to live in good times Where every meal is so delicious Nobody will treat you vicious That is where to be Everyone feels good and healthy Everybody’s rich and wealthy Life is good for you and good for me Paradise is closed today On my way to throw the key You will never find the way Paradise is closed today Paradise is closed today Paradise is closed today Heaven Do you think you’ll go to Heaven So why then don’t you do what’s rightful Every move you make is frightful Always near a fight When you claim your final placement To make sure it’s not the basement Are you sure you made your choices right Paradise is closed today … Paradise is closed today …
12.
Beside the tent I sit and hear The friends are laughing They`re playing cards or something else That I can`t see But deep inside they know that they aren`t free They will never be I can hear the dirty jokes go `round the fire No one thinks about the friends That have to die No one cares about the girls that cry Whose men said goodbye Machine-gun music Machine-gun music Every man looks tired and thinking of his problems He sees that nobody and nothing is too good Time sometimes won`t have it understood In the neighbourhood Life is nothing that will ever last forever These men know this and they`re living day by day They know some day they`ll have nothing to say Lying on a tray Machine-gun music

Human 04:33
If you tell another lie That I just can’t believe Do you really think that I Am truly so naive All you say is fantasy All made up in your mind Nothing near reality How can you be so blind So you build a world on fright So they don’t disobey That is how you show your might And nobody says nay Nobody will dare to say If they feel another way Full submission is your game You don’t care it’s a shame We are all humans We share the same world Let us be human Words have lost their meaning now As you will redefine We’ll be intervening how You are almost divine Certainly you’re not divine You are just one small man Madness is the clearest sign When you show what you can I can’t understand your game The meaning of it all Setting all the world aflame Expecting us to crawl Madness of restricted minds Has to go and surcease And when we pull up the blinds In the end there is peace We are all humans … Human Human Human

about

When the Russian emperor decided to invade Ukraine everything was put upside down! Mr Krax had spent the winter recording both old songs and new songs struggling with the task of deciding which one's to release first and which one's would have to wait. Suddenly he felt a need to do something else, like a concept for peace. So now there were songs not even written yet that had to be recorded!
The result was the single Straightjacket for Putin released on May 9th. And here is now the song collection Krax for Peace with a selection of songs that suit the theme of peace and nonviolence.
