1. Horror Epics
Third world countries starved of nutrition. Look to the west to end their starvation. Skeleton framed figures of what was children. Real relief for the sickly
THAT'S RIGHT PUSH YOUR TEA TRAY AWAY FROM YOU BEFORE YOU SPEW UP IT'S A FACT REAL LIFE IS MUCH MORE HORRIBLE THAN FICTION
That's right turn the switch elsewhere on your telly Wasn't it disgusting to view such bloated bellies Writhing tortured bodies ant like on the ground That's right turn the volume button down Inhumanities free westerners still know exists Do nowt to help the underprivileged Action not words are needed to help But all they will say is that someone must pay Third world countries starved of nutrition Look to the west to end their starvation Skeleton framed figures of what was children Real relief for the sickly
2. Don't Forget the Chaos
See those missiles in the air Where did they come from No One cares What are they threre for What do they do They kill millions of people Like me and you
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION AND DON'T FORGET THE CHAOS [x4]
Death and destruction Anguish and tears Nuclear fallout And acid like rain Why do we have them What is their need The government said That they are there to keep peace See those missiles in the air Where did they come from No One cares What are they threre for What do they do They kill millions of people Like me and you
3. Law and Order
Friday night out with my mates Speeding out of my head chatting up some birds Then this guy started to pick a fight So he got a bottle across his face
LAW AND ORDER THERE IS NONE THE SPG ARE HAVING FUN LAW AND ORDER THERE IS NONE THE SPG ARE HAVING FUN
The cops appear out of the blue Taken to the cells handcuffed in twos Friendly faces there are none A naked cell light replaces the sun The SPG are after you You'll never outrun the boys in blue They're really brave when they've got you in a cell If you see them first you better run My mind and body turning stale Wasting time in this slimehouse jail Bars on the window locks on the door Concrete ceiling reinforced doors Friday night out with my mates Speeding out of my head chatting up some birds Then this guy started to pick a fight So he got a bottle across his face
4. I Hate You
Went to a party and caught you fucking my mate Went to a party caught you in bed with my mate
I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU I, I, I HATE YOU
You told me that you loved me And I believed your lies But you gave my friend his first dose Then I knew it was a pack of lies I didn't think you could hurt me But I was such a fool My mates said you would never change But now I know you whore When I opened the bedroom door I couldn't believe my eyes You were giving head to my best friend You filthy whore
5. No More Idols
No more idols no tine gods Defy their corruption and spike their cogs Rid your head of promised dreams Banish all their fiendish schemes
NO MORE IDOLS NO TINE GODS
Wicked tongues still spew out lies We never learn although we try Brainwashed fools not quite dead Dig their graves no tears are shed The world is filled with poisoned minds Plotters for power over all mankind Hitler wasn't the first angel of greed It was Adam and Eve who craved more than their needs Fools are born everyday They'll keep you like that if you let them have their way No more idols no tin gods Defy their corruption and spike their cogs
6. Maggie
Twenty five quid to live on Seven days a week to survive Five and twenty pictures of the queen You won't see the starvation in her eyes Twenty five quid to dish out And you're already ten in debt So with fifteen singles left over The landlord gets the rent
MAGGIE, MAGGIE YOU CUNT MAGGIE, MAGGIE YOU CUNT MAGGIE, MAGGIE YOU CUNT MAGGIE MAGGIE MAGGIE MAGGIE YOU FUCKING CUNT
Twenty five reasons for trouble Three million mouths to feed They're destroying your mind and body While they increase their own needs Twenty five quid of insult Two meals soon kills your health They want to see you suffer They want to see you dead [repeat verses 1&2]
7. Dangerous Visions
I thought I heard a woman crying Did she say her child was dying Thought I heard a building tumbling Was it a dream or dangerous visions I was sure I saw a bomb sometime falling Then I woke up I was calling Sure I saw a rescue mission Was it a dream or a final warning
PEOPLE LIVING, PEOPLE WALKING PEOPLE DYING, PEOPLE CRAWLING PEOPLE LAUGHING, PEOPLE TALKING PEOPLE CRYING, PEOPLE SCREAMING [x2]
One day the rivers stopped flowing Then one day the grass stopped growing All is night there is no warning Now you may laught and you may sneer Can't come true can't happen here Close your eyes pretend you're blind But what will you do when the end is near I wondered why the girl was crying Then I saw her parents dying Then I saw a rescue mission Was it a dream or a dangerous vision Did I see a bomb sometime falling Or did I hear the wounded calling All is darkness there was no warning Was it a dream or a dangerous vision Was it a dream of dangerous vision
8. Down Below
My ears are filled with a deafening roar A howling wind and the temperature soars The houses crack the city falls A deadly dust brings death to all
IN THE SHELTERS DOWN BELOW THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW IN THE SHELTERS DOWN BELOW THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW
Adults and children wander through the streets They scream with pain with blistered feet You're all going to die a horrible death A living death that will eat your flesh As your eyes melt they drink champagne While your body burns they feel no pain You're all going to die for a government cause But why should we die for the chosen few
9. Treat You Like Shit
Monday morning you've got to sign on Down the dole the queue is long Just like zombies you wait your turn The more you declare the less you get
BUT THEY TREAT YOU LIKE SHIT [x2]
Join the army and end up dead Join the navy travel far Be a cop and grass your mates Looking for a job is just a farce Looking for a job but they treat you like shit [x4] You giro hasn't come surprise surprise Walking in the rain to the dole you go They'll keep you all morning so have a seat They will give you a shout when they have finished [repat verses 1&2]
10. Forty Odd Years Ago
Mussolini was a fascist pig Hitler was no better Tojo was an imperialistic nip But Stalin managed to go one better
40 ODD YEARS AGO, 40 ODD YEARS AGO BEFORE YOU AND I WERE BORN
Chamberlain was our man of peace But was fooled by a piece of paper Churchill warned him long ago He vowed to halt Hitler's caper [repeat verses 1&2]
11. My Life
Let me live my life my way Living it from day to day I'll do the things that I want to do It's up to me not up to you
GO AWAY GO AWAY LEAVE ME ALONE I JUST WANT TO LIVE A LIFE OF MY OWN I DON'T WANT TO BE NOBODY'S CLONE
Don't try to tell me what to wear How to dress or have my hair I'll never listen to what you say I'll never sell out there is no way You say it's only a passing phase The craze for teenage nowadays It may only be a fashion to some But we'll be here for years to come Sex and drinks and lots of drugs Passes the time when you're on the dole There's nowt to do so you start your own band And tour this god forsaken land
