LYRICS
I’m taking out the trash (x2)
Just another day on the job like the 99%
I want to make it stop, this routine never ends
Five-o-clock, shut it down, no time to make amends
Lights off, lock the door, ‘cause I’ve paid my dividends
I’ve got this passion I try to hide
Collecting stamps all through the night
I have to take off my pants and walk my boots straight through that door
Pick a side, put on a hat and then lay down on the floor
‘Cause I’m fully responsible with the sheriffs on patrol
I bend over, you take the lead, ‘cause I need some rock’n’roll
I’ve got this passion I exercise
Collecting stamps so I can win the prize
[chorus]
Meat Market (x2)
I take them while they’re fresh
Meat Market (x2)
I’m craving human flesh
Meat Market (x2)
Spending all that cash
Meat Market (x2)
I’m taking out the trash
Taking out the trash (x2)

About the album "Weltschmerz '89" [2020]
Weltschmerz [vɛltʃmɛʁts] – Profound despair felt about the inadequacy of the world, arising from comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state.
Born in ’89 and having recently turned 30, the members of X Raiders have come to the painful realisation that their student years of staying up all night drinking Schultenbräu and listening to Turbonegro are over. Too young to fully accept their back-pains and burn-outs, but too old to be satisfied playing freemium games and posting selfies. All of this gives rise to concerns. Concerns that are addressed on the band’s second full-length Weltschmerz ’89.
With their excellent live reputation which brought them to festivals like FortaRock, the five-piece joined up with Grammy-nominated producer Attie Bauw (Judas Priest, Scorpions, De Staat) and holed up at the legendary Wisseloord Studios to record everything live. The result is an overwhelming eleven-track rollercoaster; aggressive and dark, yet more genuine and addictive than ever.
"With distance they are the loudest band I ever recorded, and believe me, I’ve recorded many.”
– Producer Attie Bauw
Weltschmerz ’89 is an in-your-face collection of pure rock-‘n’-roll. Combining a multitude of influences from Turbonegro and Iron Maiden to early-Soilwork and Dillinger Escape Plan. With cover art by Plack Blague’s daddy of hypermasculine erotica, Butch Dick (www.butchdick.com), the band suggests the quick fix to your Weltschmerz: Fuck those tears, grab your leather jacket, and walk your boots straight through that door.
