Shame
05:06
|

Aid given to the third world
With conditions verging on the absurd
They facilitate your corporate theft
Squeezing them of what little is left
Grey soot covers all
Faded paint on cracked walls
Countless towns crippled by poverty
Cause you shipped all their jobs
overseas
Shame
You steel it all away
You do it in our names
I’m dying of the shame
You bomb civilians on live TV
You shamelessly commit these atrocities
You say it’s in the name of democracy
Yet you guard oil wells from those who
would see
Did you hope we wouldn’t notice
Did you think we wouldn’t care
We’re keeping count, it’s all noted down
For when we come to even the score

Neoliberal
03:04
|
|||
|
Their juvenile philosophy
Outs the lie to their democracy
A reckless quest for supremacy
The nature of their barbarity
Don’t ask to know the reasons why
Alone in a gutter we’re left to die
No compunctions for who they kill
Profit margins will grease that thrill
Law of the jungle digitised
We’re all expendable in their eyes
Social Darwinism is disguise
For our own good we’re not allowed to be free
All opposition suppressed
There’s no free thought allowed for you or me
What do they require what do they need
Complete capitulation’s all I see
No negotiation, no common ground
Crypto-fascists know no bounds
Crypto-fascists is what they are
We know exactly what they are
Social Darwinism is disguise
For our own good we’re not allowed to be free
All opposition suppressed
There’s no free thought allowed for you or me

Cellophane
05:02
|

|
Slip when you run
The damage is done
They pick their own
fights and take away
all your rights
All your rights
Dig your own hole
Just do what you’re told
The feeling is mutual
when you’re stripped
to the bone
To the bone
A lesson is learned
The truth has been earned
You fly of the handle
every time you
get burned
Get burned
No witness in sight
Don’t let the fish bite
They string you along
and wait till you
sing your song
Sing your song
Absent-minded
Indecisive
With cellophane wrapped
tightly round your nose
Round your nose
The smell of plastic wrap
is what you chose
What you chose
No other feeling even
comes close
Comes close
Because your CEO
makes life a show
Makes life a show
A fly on the wall
You’re sentenced to fall
Another suspension’s
all you need to play ball
Just play ball
Punch out for the day
In need of more pay
A trip to the bar
makes everything feel OK
Feel OK
Surrender your knife
Just keep your own slice
They’ll steal it away and
make you take your own life
Take your life
Sink back in your seat
This working life is defeat
The feeling of hatred
makes you feel incomplete
Incomplete

Feed Me
03:21
|
|||
|
New show to watch new phone to buy
A new style of jeans and shoes to try
That designer backpack sure looks sweet
Gimme more of that cornfed shit to eat
Feed me
Gimme more
Feed me
More
Check out my car can’t get enough of that
Need a new job to pay for all this crap
Get a loan from the bank pay it off in ten years
Consume more shit while I fall in arrears
Get two jobs for the modern day equivalent
of neighbour’s envy 16 hours of work a day
so I can look just as much of a corporate
sponsorship deal as the next snowflake
walking down the street
Great
More spoonfed garbage coming my way
See it on the TV every fucking day
The fear of being left out of the loop all alone
Scared to be ostracised and disowned
Being fed fear intravenously
Feed me
Terror attacks and new shoes from Nike
Feed me
Economic collapse no job security
Feed me

Subsidize
03:15
|
|||
|
The grating sound of your relay
Your conscious thoughts have gone anyway
Through bloodshot eyes and echoed cries
They feed their lies before they subsidise
Subsidise Subsidise You better subsidise
Empty stares
More money than the time it takes to care
They wallow in the darkest depths of you
Through their eyes
A pocket full of cash to feed their lies
No turning back it’s time to subsidise
A simple mind to take away
Your nauseous thoughts will die anyway
A sick disguise with no supplies
Just close your eyes and fucking subsidise
An empty slate to clear your name
There’s no escape from fear anyway
The correlation’s still the same
It’s in your name

ACAB

A grown man shoots a child in the back
Fears his life’s on the line
A friendly judge lets him off the hook
The pig will never do time
To protect and serve the elite
Never forget never forgive
There’s no justice just deceit
Never forget never forgive
Riot gear charge a picket line
Never forget
Smell of burnt pork in the air
Never forgive
Watch them beat the homeless time after time
Never forget
Not an ounce of community care
Never forgive
Lying racist sexist homophobic
murdering canicidal sell out
class traitors with a badge
and a gun I wouldn’t piss on
a cop if it was on fire do
yourself a favour and never
talk to pigs Ever

No Gods No Masters
03:28
|
|||
|
Beware of prophets claiming knowledge of old
No man knows the laws of chimeric gods
And beware of time thieves offering gold
For when it’s gone they won’t spare the rod
Snake oil merchants with a spiel for your ballot
Elect your masters for the next five years
Those masters have masters the lobby and wallet
Your vote and voice is worth less than your tears
You don’t need them
No gods no masters
They need you
To believe
Fairy tales and lies, force and oppression
The tools of their trade are known of old
Golden chains binding them to succession
They welcome more slaves into their fold
These repeated beliefs they’ve been taught
And you’ve no need to follow their herd
No need to give up what our fathers have wrought
For slave wages and tales of the absurd
For pats on the head and praise from your betters
They’ll demand you part with freedom and choice
For you to do just as they have
For you to give up to give up your voice
