Fools
03:44
|
|
||
The strongest drug I ever took, was the one when I was born
The greatest lie they ever told, was the one that fooled them all
Productivity at an all time low, they told us to work harder
Mental health on the increase, the lights only getting darker
Fall into line, follow the crowd, go with the stream, watch life pass you by
If they fooled me and they fooled you, if they fooled everybody else, its what they meant to do
Keep your head down work harder, slave away the daily grind
One day you'll own a house, with a mortgage until you die
Get a new car on finance, don't forget your council tax
I think I've had enough of work, I want my life back

Turning Red
01:13
|
|
||
The streets will turn to red as the blood gets mixed with dirt
They've got us at each other's throats
Sleeping on the job while we're all struggling to cope
Remember the real enemy
It's the nonces up in Parliament not folks like you and me
They tried dividing us, it worked
They're hitting us right where it hurts
We'll line the streets with corpses of the politicians
The pavement will turn red as all the blood gets mixed with dirt

Sick
00:53
|
|
||
Always the last one up and the hardest to come down
I snort away my sanity as my brain trickles down
Nose as the instrument, my body as a host
Alone is what I feel most
I'm sick and tired
I dig myself a hole and I throw myself in
If anyone's around, I'll drag them in too
Don't do it to yourself, make sure you get help
Because my pain is infectious, and I'll infect you
Why cant we see that this life ain't for you or me

Penance
02:56
|
|
||
Your inner peace has been disturbed, everything distressing
A status of a survivor, support system dissolved
Everything becomes forgotton, but those alarms still sound
We immerse in anxiety, we are still at harm
I will not go quietly, like a good girl should
I will speak my mind, even if I am misunderstood
Everything a potential threat, those traits you don't forget
Lines wear fine for suicide, as you begin to regret
You wish for the day, of the macho decay
When it's safe to come out from the shadows, we won't hang from the gallows
Never understood, never understood

These Walls Must Fall
02:35
|
|
||
Deported from a land, a land that you once walked hand in hand with
Too tired to fight, locked in a cell a candle the only light
You're not forgotten, your struggle tells a million stories
Backed by a brutal regime, this one funded by the Tories
These walls must fall, burn down the prisons
A hostile environment, reporting rewarded
Grassed in by a neighbour, a rat turned informant
Smuggled over continents, punished for coming out of hiding
There's no doubt about it, Yarl's Wood is a concentration camp
The right to remain, do you feel ashamed, in this nation of pain, where we all share the blame

Replaceable
01:14
|
|
||
Blind panic, uncertainty, not knowing
Dull drone,the workers keen
Replace the hands, with machines
Replaceable, disposable
The casualisation of the workforce destroys workers, working them to the bone when they are profitable, then leaving them hungry when they need the work.
Sample from Ken Loach's Sorry We Missed You.

Night Witches
01:36
|
|
||
We are the night witches, the unsung heroes of the war, we flew under the radar, to kill the fascists in the dark
We braved the bullets and the frostbite, and sexual abuse on the ground
And now in the history books, we are nowhere to be found
We are feared and hated, by every german in the sky
As we wore an iron cross, for every fascist we made die
Planes sound like brooms, the only warning the enemy had
As we littered them with bombs, till every fascist was dead
We are Russian women, we're afraid of no man
We can kill in the war, just like you can
We are Russian women, were afraid of no man
We can kill the Nazis, just like you can
We are the night witches, the unsung heroes of the war
We flew under the radar, to kill the fascists in the dark
We are feared and hated, by every airman in the sky
As we wore an iron cross, for every fascist we made die

Set In Stone
01:48
|
|
||
This is not set in stone
This can be overthrown
Everyone plays a part
Here is the right place to start
Speak to your colleagues and your neighbours
Organise to get a better deal
Fight against the bosses and the landlords
Our power is collective and it's real

Poison The Well
02:50
|
|
||
Stabbing a knife through a hole in the ground, contaminate for profit
Making millions, propping up a failing system
What they take they cant put back, everything they burn is burning black
While they're searching on this piece of land, the earth shakes as they extract from the ground
They poison the water, fuck the local population
This is an act of war and devastation
It is an act of war, feeding the rich while starving the poor
They came looking to find some more, while the poison leaks into our water course
Leave it in the ground, leave it in the ground

Not Alone
02:55
|
|
||
I went to the job centre to ask for some advice, they told me everything, that I'd been doing wrong with my life
I went to see a doctor to talk about my dreams, she told that in this life nothing is what it seems
Then I went down to the shop but they'd all been boarded up, it turns out in this dead end town it's not just me who's out of luck
I need to find some shelter to get out of the rain, I need some more booze to take away the pain
It's not paranoia, they're just voices in my head, they tell me everything's ok, they make me feel I'm not alone
Not alone
I went to the council to ask about a house, they told me everything was sold so I'd be sleeping the cold
They told me charity is my only choice religion is the only voice, those thoughts inside my head will soon be put to rest
They told me not to worry that austerity will end, we'll be leaving Europe soon so they'll have more cash to spend
Then I bought a bag of spice thinking everything's alright, now those voices in my head mean I'll never be alone
Not alone, not alone

Marked Safe From
01:22

Churches burn in western world, sympathy outpours
Same occurs in other lands, No one bats an eye
We will mourn for the victims
We will mourn for the dead
Gotta fight for the living
Til our very last breath
The greatest tragedy's the words left unsaid

Pit Girls
01:30
|
|

Girls it's time to take up space
Roll up your jeans, it's time to break out those hairy knees
We grow our pubes, and we don't care if that offends you
Your masculinity will take a hit, when the pit girls are in the pit
Pit girls, just wana have fun
Patriarchy's going down the pan, cause pit girls ain't tryna impress no man
Cover ourselves in beer and sweat, we're the pit girls and dont you forget it
Got small tits and your bras don't, get in the pit
Drink lambrini until your sick, get in the pit
If your femininity doesn't fit, get in the pit
If you tuck in your dick and you wear lipstick, get in the pit

Yours And Mine ( Goose)
00:28
|
|
||
They hang the man and flog the woman that steals the goose from off the common
But leave the greater villain loose, that steals the common from the goose
The law demands that we atone, when we take things we do not own
But leaves the Lords and ladies fine, who take things that are yours and mine
This is an English folk rhyme of unknown origin - our struggles have gone on for centuries.

Guillotines
02:26
|
|
||
Stand up, get off your knees
Don't be apart of the machine
Start building the guillotines
A curse on the house, off every politician
We must fight back, force them into submission
Theres no turning back, start the attack
They started this war when they forced us into destitution.
They forced us into poverty, there's people begging on the streets
Forced us into foodbanks, while they dine on gold stakes
They watch from their high castles, while we drown in bitter lakes
Confused in our apathy, we're part of this decay
I don't wana get used to this, get used to this

Line In The Sand
00:45
|
|

Cut through the fence as they run for their lives, watch for the tear gas burning the eyes
Hit the deck as the bullets fly, what the fuck are these borders for
Just a line in the sand

Impunity
01:15
|
|
||
Let me tell you a story, about a Romanian refugee
Forced by the mafia, to pay for freedom on their knees
Employed by the Vatican, to satisfy the priests
Its deep in their nature, those savage fucking beasts
Vatican rent boys used as sex toys
All those poor rent boys, travelling for freedom
Traded in a warzone for sodomy and prostitution
This was only 2010, this shit goes on today
The vatican is corrupt in every single way
The church is full of nonces
|

System
01:11
|
|
||
Any instrument that doesn't serve its purpose
will conform or be replaced, melted down inside the furnace
The system maintains its self
Any tolerance for anything but profit, will be crushed
thrown beneath the wheels, we're powerless to stop it
