02. The War 02:18
02.THE WAR one life time to go i've been a wasted vision in the cold brown snow tossing and turning in my epileptic skin i knew i was trouble i was made of sin i had to get the fuck out of the state i was in spit the murder, i've been smothering my heart in shit my heart in shit but the war's still going on between the fascist television and the struggling musician and the kids are having fun at the fancy night clubs and the dirty old pubs but the war's still going on because the big ben's counting on the money in your pocket in your pocket.. the money in your pocket i'm on the road where the fire used to live the ashes of an outbreak, roaming in the pit this is it! evacuated space in the market of a liberated age we're just another target i found a man he's a hard living wreck told me i should grab my fate by the neck i'm on the road less travelled, i'm not there yet i had a plan in mind but i tend to forget

04. SHOT! 02:34
04.SHOT! you got skills to make into ammunition if they can load up your guns, with high opinions take a walk on the wrong side of town in every city it's the same old sound the television's got no soul and the radio murdered rock n' roll it's a modern zest we can't control dead bodies and novelties in a big black hole shot down; all originality shot down; genuine insanity shot; the aspirations of our kind buried in the yard of a corporate mind shot down; the furthest pilgrim shot down; all the women and children shot; and they say it's for the best can't you fucking tell this world's a mess? step up and book that one way ticket with a skeleton corpse driving down your spirit rough ride to the edge of possibility some will never be the filthy hypocrites they used to be and when the war's good and done you'll find a home for everyone through chaos came the perfect end to every liar you thought were a friend they got shot down; for originality shot down; genuine insanity shot; for the visions of our kind buried in the yard of a corporate mind shot down; the perverts and cowards shot down; the tyrants in power shot; and we'll kill them all one by one they'll take the fall

05. Man Down 02:28
05.MAN DOWN Some psychopaths killed another man The country’s in bits ‘cause it’s one less soldier How many families do they destroy at war For their government ­ They’ve got no reason was it all set up such revenge spit the rage of those who pray for change troops kill and rape and kill some more but it won't be on the news So I, I have to say just don’t believe This bullshit all the way You play with fire ­ You’re gonna get burnt Don’t declare war if you don’t wanna fuck with rebels lies are told on the breaking news but they won't mention the power abuse and the fascists set up their nasty plans to brainwash everyone as much as they can All nazi scums the salute in the air They will lynch everyone if we don’t give a care They’re marching away with pride and hate And the number’s rising.. So I, I have to say just don’t believe This bullshit all the way You play with fire ­ You’re gonna get burnt But you’ve signed a contract with death anyway Once again it’s no surprise the cops are on their side They’re beating us down ­ to give them a chance To break down the voice of tolerance

06.CAPITAL MACHINE Well I’ve been travelling through the mountains and the seas Digging things I’ve never seen in many countries and cities Something would not crack my face into a grin The street’s a victim of the capital machine All them greedy pigs and disgraceful companies Always safe and sound on their side of the fees Fighting over cash adverts and taxes They don’t seem bothered by their fuckin moron disease Who does wear the crown where the future’s got no soul We bought what they sold and now we fight and fall History repeats itself with burning centuries Now just to feel safe we stay locked up in factories They all want my pennies ­ each other enemies That’s the way it is for them beautiful trees They say the grass is green and the skies are blue Somewhere in between it’s time to change your point of view Billboards make you smile like a newborn child They make me wanna die or rot into the wild Can you stand this world if I had a final word I’d say matches and gasoline for the best and for the worse Who does wear the crown where the future’s got no soul We bought what they sold and now we fight and fall History repeats itself with burning centuries Now just to feel safe we stay locked up in factories If hope has nowhere to go and find answers we don’t know The talk in the wind by those made of sins is all bullshit and bullshit If some can be smart enough to change these times that are rough Some will call treason and send’em to prison Here we are... Controlled by tax­dodgers

OH NO! 02:35
07.OH NO! I wake up to savour my fag and coffee Have a look at the news my dear good ol’ muse War cuts and debts I get served for breakfast Riots on the rise since all hope’s gone to dust On the bus to get downtown everyone looks depressed The gran next to me hides her precious wallet I’d give her my seat if the wagon was full We’re all stigmatized and I’m wearing a hood OH NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! My head in my hands I just don’t understand At the supermarket do you wait in the queue Crisis like best diet man it’s just a preview I have friends they have to sell many grams To make sure they feed the babies in the prams Drunks on the pavement getting shitfaced on booze Teach me revolution but they wear nike shoes We’re all rotten fruits of a corporate nation Goods under my coat I laugh at damnation OH NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! My head in my hands I just don’t understand We used to vote for hope and glory but now the world’s fighting back with fury And fear resistance to the same old story ­ endless corruption in every city Fuck police and bankers newspapers all liars Politician leaders and racist piss takers They make war to claim peace over land over oil Over god and money ­ over where you come from
8.
08.RADIO CAROLINE The world was at war at the break of a new age Those who lit the fuse would take all your wage So they could keep loading the guns that you’d soon be using They’d force you to kill until the crime becomes a thrill ­ no! Meanwhile a few scammed to pay less than you Their pockets were full and their collars weren't blue Yeah the corporate man knew how to shake them double­crossing hands Of bankers and lawyers in some Jersey Island Radio Caroline against the offshore The banking snowball she couldn’t take no more Radio Caroline dodging fm waves To tell everyone who’s digging our graves Tricks get dirtier today if you know which cards to play Evasion ­ Avoidance ­ A grand lawful difference No consideration at the poll station for me A speech for the throne don’t suit me to believe I believe ­ I believe There’s fuckall I believe in now Nothing at all! Radio Caroline against the offshore The banking snowball she couldn’t take no more Radio Caroline dodging fm waves To tell everyone who’s digging our graves No share’s getting fair high up from the chair Just count the years of famine and war from now to before Money’s a whore ­ All the ressources blowing in the breeze Everything’s seized where the soul of a man ain’t no more than that No more than that...

09.CENTRE STAGE center stage, dim lights now, curtain falls you were my obsession back when i thought i knew it all death on your shoulder, i was only laughing for you but somewhere in the shadows i was crying cuz i knew it was true linger in the alleyway with me, i was never too busy, i was never too tough crawling back and forth in the gutter all the stars in the sky were never bright enough and you said "everyday is different but basically it stays the same but baby when you're 29 you're gonna look so fine i hope by then you still remember my name and when we turn 40 if we've bored and we're lonely let's get married, let's get lost" then you spun me round and round, and round and round and round centre stage i was alone you were gone sunny california couldn't wait to kill another one walking wonder and it makes me wonder where will i go when i'm gone and where will i go till then oh and when... will i go? linger in the alleyway with you, someone thought we were lovers, someone thought we were friends, and someone thought we hated each other i guess we fell for the weather oh we were everything and you said "everyday is different, but basically it stays the same but baby when you're 29 you're gonna look so fine i hope by then you still remember my name and when we turn 40 if we're bored and we're lonely let's get a home and have a kid or two" then you spun me round and round and i spun around with you i made my way through the dirt and you were full of surprises make way for the rich and the fury oh you were always in a hurry and i'm still waiting for you a smile to put me to bed

10.ONE TOO MANY TIMES This goddamn reality is trying to take me I’m such a mess tortured by my weakness I pass out on the street in parks and in buses Southbound tonight with my bad habits And I have to make it back to this little factory In the city I’m cradled by the siren symphony And I lose my shit tonight ‘cause I hate the human race And I’m losing my faith Please keep me away from this bottle of gin ­ Those amphetamines Or I’ll fuck up once again ­ One too many times A nervous breakdown ­ I pick up fights all over town I feel all survival but I’m all suicidal Wish I could be kind but frustration speaks my mind Nothing is easy ­ Well I heard this song before My motivation swallows up in slow motion Small problems get bigger with them silly addictions Now I’m screwed and handcuffed that’s right And guess what? ­ I’ll sleep in jail tonight And I lose my shit tonight ‘cause I hate the human race And I’m losing my faith Please keep me away from this bottle of gin ­ Those amphetamines Or I’ll fuck up once again ­ One too many times
11.
11. DIE! POLICE DIE! We fight against crime they say ­ But at the end of the day Who has got killed in the fray ­ Innocents anyway When they beat you to the ground far from the eyes of town You know you won't be safe and sound ­ In a concrete cell they’ll kick you down Police! Police! Do you see a peacemaker in them? ­ If you do I don't feel the same ‘Cause sticks and guns made their lives a mistake We blame the shame of this society ­ Social control is a tragedy With hearts made of concrete these murderers are the real thugs on our streets Now goodbye! And die! Police die! Hunting the youth on the street ­ just to fill statistics Politicians craving bad critics will make the news so dramatic All they protect is money ­ the state and big companies At every protest they’re ready in favour of the enemy We blame the shame of this society ­ Social control is a tragedy With hearts made of concrete these murderers are the real thugs on our streets Now goodbye! And die! Police die! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! FUCK THE POLICE! The world is on the street marching in the name of peace They lynch rape kill with no limits All we want is to be free from the lies and all the poverty Free speech is a right mister officer Your violence is not but we cry and we suffer You’re the garbage of every age ­ The more you’ll cage the more we’ll rage We blame the shame of this society ­ Social control is a tragedy With hearts made of concrete these murderers are the real thugs on our streets Now goodbye! And die! Police die!

12.ALL GONE WRONG There’s morons and cowards ruining these modern times And they never seem ashamed by the horror of their acts Set the streets on fire ­ That’s all we can afford Greed’s a bunch of men’s heaven for some trillion people’s hell At the end of the day the system killed your conscience yes! What we’ve seen ­ What we’ve touched everything was all business And It’s all gone wrong! And it’s all gone wrong! In this CCTV reality show And It’s all gone wrong! And it’s all gone wrong! Nothing never heals in this consume and die wounded society and we're stuck in the void of a profiteering man he's got your dressed in uniforms and suits that suit his plan set the streets on fire before we get to old this city needs the riot of the souls that aren't sold we've been grabbed by the hands that'll never understand and dragged into this vile game of supply and demand And It’s all gone wrong! And it’s all gone wrong! In this CCTV reality show And It’s all gone wrong! And it’s all gone wrong! Nothing never heals in this consume and die wounded society They point their fingers at your foreign brothers And the hate they create to stigmatize the difference I’m sorry but let me say all of this is so sketchy And there’s police everywhere but no justice anyway Deals are never fair ­ money goes so rare I’m sorry but let me say we’re all fucked as far as I can see And It’s all gone wrong! And it’s all gone wrong! In this CCTV reality show And It’s all gone wrong! And it’s all gone wrong! Nothing never heals in this consume and die wounded society

13.RUNNING BEHIND Still in bed at the break of dawn when the big boys come knock at the door A 9 to 5 to give the poor more problems than the day before They say if we don’t let them in they’ll use what they can to crack in Jog on man we owe you nothing ­ stick a needle in your eye and keep trying! Frustrated at the way we live ­ shame on your goals to achieve I’ve got something up my sleeve among stories you’ll never believe Through the sound of good old tape plan B’s slowly taking shape Let’s crawl under the back gate and crowbar the fire escape You’re still running behind and we’re doing just fine We’ve seen it’s before it’s just another time It’s like playing cat and mouse ­ we’ll find somewhere to hide Won’t you give it all up ­ Won’t you give it all up It’s our lives! our time! and our fight! We don’t have much but keep us tight A forgotten soul died tonight ­ it don’t shake your evil mind No one’s safe from things to lose ­ you might as well one day sing the blues About the holes in the soles of your shoes You’re still running behind and we’re doing just fine We’ve seen it’s before it’s just another time It’s like playing cat and mouse ­ we’ll find somewhere to hide Won’t you give it all up ­ Won’t you give it all up YOU CUNT!
