THE EXPLOITED LYRICS
"Attack/Alternative" (1982 Single)
1. Attack
2. Alternative
1. Attack
Attack
Sitting in my room at night
Feeling half dead
A dog two blocks away or more
Is howling in my head
My mind is getting dangerous
My body feels like lead
Icy horrors hit me, send shivers to my head
[Chorus:]
Attack, attack
You can't fight back
Attack, attack
An enemy you can't find
An enemy you can't find
Throat can't talk legs won't walk
Rooted am deaf and dumb
Terror rising in my gut
Makes my brain go numb
Something's creeping round the door
Something filled with threat
I bite a hole right through my lip
My back is trickling sweat
[Repeat chorus]
I taste blood inside my mouth
Am choking on the bile
I want to burst right out of here
I want to run a mile
The sickness of the city
Is spreading thru the night
Someone else is screaming
To be let out for the night
[Repeat chorus]
2. Alternative
Something's happened what's gone wrong
Going down the dole got to sign on
Millions of kids with nowt to do
You better watch out they're after you
Alternative
I don't wanna join the army
Alternative
I know it's a waste of time
Alternative
No alternative is what they say
Alternative
The choice is mine
Politicians what do they care
They're all money grabbers they're after their share
They don't even care if you get shot
Cause there ain't no way they'll be there
Do you really want to die
Alternative
Kill other people just to survive
Alternative
Only the dead have their freedom
Alternative
It's the living that's got to suffer most
Alternative
