We pretend to work because they pretend to pay us (x8)
Pick your enemy
And stand aside as their empire shatters
Save your energy
And put it into something that really matters
We pretend to work because they pretend to pay us (x4)
Your wage slavery
Benefits them but isolates you
Squandering it lazily
Instead of doing something that you want to do
We pretend to work because they pretend to pay us
Just bare minimum
Is all it takes to shove a spanner in the works
When we’re rid of them
We can build a world of our own!

Not My Hero
00:35
|

What makes you a hero?
You volunteered to go
Trained to take another’s life
So I won’t mourn when you die
You are not my hero
You don’t need my help
Real heroes will save lives
They’re putting others first
No self preservation
Real heroes provide the help
You are not my hero
You don’t need my help
So you are not my hero
You knew there was a risk
I’m not happy that you’re dead
Or with the lives you’ve shed

Still Screaming

So guess what – it wasn’t a phase
50 years old – and still full of rage
So it turns out – my world view was planned
By every single – confrontational band
A musical education
And here I am – still scheming
Part injustice, part frustration
And here I am – still screaming
So guess what – it wasn’t a phase
50 years old – and still full of rage
whatever you say - I’ll continue to stand
By every single – inspirational band

Belligerent And Numerous
01:01

We are here to stay and you’d best get used to it
Lurking in the shadows where your whitewash won't reach
The rats on your tail, the flies round your bullshit
Digesting and decoding the lies that you preach
Belligerent and numerous – rejected by your system
Belligerent and numerous – objectors to your system
We’ve become a force and you’d best get used to it
A system diseased, your pyre starts to smoulder
Assimilating truth from the crap that you throw us
The ghosts in the mirror looking over your shoulder

Celebrate Cruelty
00:43
|

Celebration means death to them
We carve them up to feed our greed
From a nation of animal lovers
Abusing them without a thought
Cruelty for a celebration
Celebrate our inhumanity
Cruelty for the sake of it
Celebrations mean animal cruelty
Celebration means death to them
We drain their blood to mark our feasts
A Nation without compassion
Consuming meat we become beasts

The Forum Rules
00:39
|
|||
|
No more talk of politics
Just bootleg LPs
Or different colour vinyl
And the limited release
You must obey the rules
of the internet forum
Don’t bore us with your views
No politics just consumerism
You don’t care about the words
These bands had to say
Punk’s not about rebellion
Just how much you had to pay
You must obey the rules
of the internet forum
Don’t bore us with your views
No politics just consumerism
Always looking to the past
Don’t care about the scene today
Just re-releases and reunions
It was so great back in the day.

Trapped
00:45

I feel trapped when I leave the house
At home I’m happy, I feel free
Work feels like a prison cage
It’s not how I want things to be.
Trapped, I feel trapped
The sun is up but I see a black cloud
The journey there weighs heavy on me
A prison of my own creation
There’s no way out I can see.
Trapped, I feel trapped

Abrazos

It’s not my fault your life is broken my friend
The years we spent together, I will never forget
The punk, the people and the love were very special times
But now the time has passed, and look at where you are
New roads and directions, now we are not the same
Life is hard, all you do is fight
But I’m not going to leave
You feel alone but I won’t go
All that I can give you is … Abrazos
That is all that I can give
Trackmarks from your fucking drugs, time to give them up
You have let go of your dreams, but the fight still carries on
But I’m not going to leave you, I know you’ll change again
I only hope that you awake from your personal nightmare
Life is hard, all you do is fight
But I’m not going to leave
You feel alone but I won’t go
All that I can give you is … Abrazos
That is all that I can give
