which ends, at about 4:00, with

e--------------

B--------------

G--------------

D--------------

A--------------

E--2-7-7-9-----

the lyrics are:

Die Wunder Dieser Welt Werden Dir Geschenkt

Gluck Ist Nicht Kauflich Sehnsucht Bleibt Unerreicht

Preisratsel Winken Nimmersatt

Kein Mitleid Fur Die Mehrheit

Nihilistic Mystics

Apostolic Alcoholics

Messianic Manics

Cataclysmis and Prolific

In The Age Of Super-Boredom

Hype and Mediocrity

Celebrate Relentlessness

Menace To Society

Refuse Is Our Inspiration

Terrorism Our Trade

Sabotage and Piracy

Chaos Our Mental State

Mesmerizing Festering

Intended For The Faint Of Heart

Cultish And Anthemic

Until Death Us Do Part

Like a Fiendish Tropic Virus

Spitting Bile On All You Whores

Razor-Sharp Tongue In Cheek

Poking At Your Open Sores

A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

The Ultimate Disgrace

Wrapped Up As A Gift Of God

Exploding In Yr. Face

Wenn Der Untergrund Bebt Ist Die Ordnung Erschuttert

Der Verrat An Der Seele Macht Leben Ungesund

Mit Unschlagbaren Reimen Werden Wir Uns Vertreiben

Die Zeit Der Langen Weile Bis Zum Grossen Bums

CHORUS:

This is Counter Culture

>From The Underground

Eternal Revolution

This Is Our Sound

KMFDM- Better Than The Best

Megalomaniacal And Harder Than The Rest

-----------------------------------------

and that's pretty much the whole song... yay

i'd love some feedback or whatever...
