Collateral Damage 02:59
lyrics
buy track
From the safety of the bunker they analyse the facts Enemies inside but there's families in the flats Calculation says that the losses will be high Target's our priority - they do it anyway. Generals talking numbers and the UN's urging calm Families pay the price losing heads and arms Collateral Damage The losses obscene You wanna clean war so it's sold as seen Collateral Damage Collateral Damage No boots on the ground but the drones are in the air Locked and loaded bringing death without a sound Statistics don't lie when you only see the facts A hand reaching out from the rubble on the ground Generals talking numbers and the UN's urging calm Families pay the price losing heads and arms Collateral Damage The losses obscene You wanna clean war so it's sold as seen Collateral Damage Collateral Damage Orphaned children, and another amputation Recruitment drive for the next generation Burnt out street and flaming tyre There's no such thing as friendly fire Generals talking numbers and the UN's urging calm Families pay the price losing heads and arms Collateral Damage The losses obscene You wanna clean war so it's sold as seen Collateral Damage Collateral Damage Collateral Damage The losses obscene You wanna clean war so it's sold as seen Collateral Damage Collateral Damage

I Don't Think So 02:05
lyrics

You sent me off to learn at school To learn what's right, play by the rules. You told me that the world is round And miners still worked underground. You told me things are black and white No in between, just wrong and right. You said the law is strong and true Believe in Jesus, God bless you! Don't take in their pack of lies Just see the world through your own eyes Stand and fight back when they say "You'll never be much anyway." I don't think so. They say just play the game, your part This world could be your piece of art Your life's made out, you're bought and sold So don't just do what you were told. Droning bee or worker ant You're factory fodder, I hear you chant They say that work will set you free But fuck all that, that's not for me Don't take in their pack of lies Just see the world through your own eyes Stand and fight back when they say "You'll never be much anyway." I don't think so.

Is there something in the bag for me, A little something in the bag for me? 'cause it's all right for you but not for us. Is there something in the bag for me, A little something in the bag for me?

Fuck you lawyer cunts Fuck you corporate stunts Fuck you fat cat bores Fuck you banker whores 'cause it's all right for you but not for us 'cause it's all right for you but not for us. Is there something in the bag for me, A little something in the bag for me? 'cause it's all right for you but not for us. Is there something in the bag for me, A little something in the bag for me?

Gonna kill you ‘cause you’re different to me Wipe out your identity Raze your church and burn your school Bayonet your babies cos there's no rules Shoot them, burn them, poison the water Gotta get a name for industrial slaughter Shoot them, burn them, poison the water Gotta get a name for industrial slaughter Generation Genocide Gonna kill you ‘cause your richer than me Steal your home and industry Send you out east on a cattle truck Concentration camp, good luck Shoot them, burn them, poison the water Gotta get a name for industrial slaughter Shoot them, burn them, poison the water Gotta get a name for industrial slaughter Generation Genocide Gonna kill you ‘cause we pray differently Mosques and Synagogues burn brightly Chemical Weapons as a last resort No conscience here and I can't get bought Shoot them, burn them, poison the water Gotta get a name for industrial slaughter Shoot them, burn them, poison the water Gotta get a name for industrial slaughter Generation Genocide

Case For Concern 02:25

John drinks 20 cans a day John drinks 20 cans a day Helps him block out - Block out the pain inside Zoe started smoking crack Zoe's started smoking crack Self medicated - Paid by the crowd Neil stays in his room all day Neil stays in his room all day Learning how - Best to inflict pain They’re all They’re all Case for concern Mary’s scared to go outside Mary's scared to go outside There's people out there - Are gonna do her in Harry injects twice a day Harry injects twice a day Cos modern living - Just ain't his thing My heads gonna fucking blow My heads gonna fucking blow Dunno when - But I know fucking why They’re all They’re all Case for concern They’re a case, they’re a case, they’re a case for concern.

Man on the street Don't you turn away Man on the street Looks like he's here to stay Don't you turn your eyes Don't you turn away Man on the street It's his time today Man on the street What fucking placed you there Man on the street Got no one to care Don't you turn your eyes Don't you turn away Man on the street It's his time to today Just tell me how you'd feel If that was you not him You'd tell me your life stories Your mother's love for Gin Just how your father left you A life that should have been Just tell me how you'd feel If that was you not him Man on the street.

Stay Alive 03:30
lyrics

Don't you know Free speech ended years ago You think your life's secure and free Living in this democracy Don't be fooled and watch your back It's the secret police for the Union Jack. And if you figure on staying upright Don't talk trouble with the law in sight And if you figure on staying alive Shut your mouth, swallow your pride Stay Alive The police broke in And I was beaten to the floor Dressed in black just eyes for a face Move with purpose, menace and pace Bagging up documents, this is their law Cuffed me up, forget any more And if you figure on staying upright Don't talk trouble with the law in sight And if you figure on staying alive Shut your mouth, swallow your pride Stay Alive Stay Alive When I came to Bound and gagged and black and blue Threat of violence hangs in the air I try to resist but I ain't got a prayer Boots on my back and I'm feeling alone Mood is dark, destination unknown. If you figure on staying upright Don't talk trouble with the law in sight And if you figure on staying alive Shut your mouth, swallow your pride Stay Alive Stay Alive Dead

Grab your coat and bin your grub We've got a date on down the pub Forget the grass, forget the lawn You don't know you're fuckin' born Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Get in a fight Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Doing all right Doing powder on the toilet seat Fuckin' flying this gear is great Ten more boozers still to come Drink your beers down in one Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Get in a fight Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Doing all right Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Get in a fight Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Doing all right You fucking cunt, you spilled my beer Fucking bastard, fucking queer I'm a fucking hard boy can't you tell? Door slams shut on my prison cell Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Get in a fight Pub crawl Drinking all night Pub crawl Doing all right, you cunt.

Wife Beater 02:56
lyrics

The signs were there from an early age Fists and boots taking centre stage Mother says it's the neighbourhood Knowing soon her words are caked in blood He's the one who seems to have it all Cocaine parties, kids and summer balls A perfect family and a perfect life But Cambridge boy likes to beat his wife Wife Beater He steals the smile from her face No happy endings in this place The same excuses, "I tripped, I fell" Knowing soon she'll return to hell He's the one who seems to have it all Cocaine parties, kids and summer balls A perfect family and a perfect life But Cambridge boy likes to beat his wife "I can't take no more of this life", she said He's the one who seems to have it all Cocaine parties, kids and summer balls A perfect family and a perfect life But Cambridge boy likes to beat his wife Wife Beater A quiet funeral cos there's no friends A tragic story with a bitter end Left his mark in this neighbourhood She slit her wrists in a bath of blood He's the one who seems to have it all Cocaine parties, kids and summer balls A perfect family and a perfect life But Cambridge boy likes to beat his wife Wife Beater

Paedo Playground 02:54
lyrics

He still gets a hard on When he’s walking past the school Or sitting in the park Watching kiddies kick a ball Now he’s got a reason Not to throw it all away Someone else can take the risk Of making children play The internet, the internet The internet is a paedo playground He doesn’t like risk Of being spotted on the streets Enticing little children With his magic and his treats He’s moved twice already To avoid being seen But now he feels safe Behind his filthy little screen The internet, the internet The internet is a paedo playground The government’s response? They’ll monitor it all Every minute you’re online Every HTTP call Their clever little plan Is woefully unsound ‘Cause the filthy fucking rapists Are already underground The internet, the internet The internet is a paedo playground

Smother Party 03:14
lyrics

"Where we going?" Grandmother asks. "It's a surprise, you'll never guess, Here we are, now isn't it nice? I know you're wary by the look in your eyes." "Come inside, please take the weight, Today's the day you discover your fate Have a drink, it will help you to relax, In 30 seconds you'll be flat on your back." We're not callous, cruel or naive, We just don't think you should continue to breathe "Come on people, it's time to take your place - Select your weapon and aim for the face!" Smother Party We're not violent or fuelled by hate We've all got a best - STOP, she's still breathing... Smother Party We're not violent or fuelled by hate, We've all got a best use-by date Come on people, let's party like you do, Trying not to think when this'll happen to you Smother Party Please Mr Postman, look and see, Is there a pillow in the closet for me?
