Neighbourhood Witch
01:01
|
|||
|
Who are you watching
And what are you watching them for
The signs on your lampposts
Say more about you than the crimes you abhor
Your curtains twitch
Spy on the neighbourhood witch
It’s all a front
For a neighbourhood witch hunt
Watching the neighbours
Or are the neighbours watching you
It starts with surveillance
Until they turn informer too
|

Keep speaking up
shout it out loud
Don’t let the bastards
Grind you down
Keep on fighting, Never give up
Keep keeping on, Make your voice heard
To save all animals
Oppose the government
To stop the destruction
Of their environment

Song For Elijah

Elijah was a pacifist
Wouldn’t hurt a fly
Animal rights activist
Yet at the hands of the cops this black man died
Be like Elijah
Be like Elijah
His chokehold death is so tragic
We must all defend his name
Against abusers and racists
We need more people like Elijah Mclain
Be like Elijah
Be like Elijah
See like Elijah
Be like Elijah

The One Percent

Cock up or conspiracy? Criminal neglect!
Disaster capitalists rub their hands, its time to collect
The 1% are keeping you poor
While their wealth grows more and more
They need you too scared to make a fuss
But remember, there’s more of us
Friends at the ministry, cash in the pocket
No need for tenders, in roll the profits
The 1% are keeping you poor
While their wealth grows more and more
They need you too scared to make a fuss
But remember, there’s more of us

Slight Of Mouth

You're scared of those seeking asylum
So scared that they’re taking your job
You’ve been told they are the problem
Causing this country’s decline
But your enemy was already here
The rich are destroying your life
You listened to lies spreading this fear
You let the enemy win
A smokescreen erected so you cannot see
It’s the fuel for your ignorant rant
I can see through the lies you want to believe
And I know who’s really to blame
But your enemy was already here
The rich are destroying your life
You listened to lies spreading this fear
You let the enemy win…Fuck You

Under Attack
00:44
|
|||
|
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But your bombs are destroying their homes
Illegal evictions, forcing people outside
Your occupation is nothing but genocide
If your home was coming under attack
You would defend it and fight back
Children preparing to die in their beds
Dying together their bodies torn to shreds
An invading force using military might
Destroying families in the darkness of night

I’m not your fucking messenger boy
I am not in your employ
I’m not here to take your shit
Just fuck off you make me sick
I am not worth less than you
You can’t tell me what to do
Always a pounding in my head
Stress levels will see me dead
Heart is pumping in my chest
These conditions need to be addressed.
I am not worth less than you
You can’t tell me what to do
What makes you a VIP?
You’re not more important than me?
Why should you jump the queue?
Others just as deserving a you.

Car Crash TV
00:38
|
|||
|
Can't face any more
Of the visual assault
Brain turned to mush
And it's your fucking fault
Twisted and broken, unable to flee
Cut from the wreckage of car crash TV
Wave upon wave
of soporific crap
Endless inertia
Enmeshed in your trap
Twisted and broken, unable to flee
Cut from the wreckage of car crash TV
Vacuous celebrity
Sickening plots
Welded to the couch
While my mind slowly rots

‘Protests are ruined by violent scum”
So say the right wing media scrum
We see the lies as they try to misinform
The terrorists have shields and uniforms
We won’t be silenced, we’ll continue to fight
Nothing gets changed by being polite
Attacking those who dare to protest
Knocked unconscious is cause for arrest
Smashing those who stand for what’s right
We won’t be bowed we’ll continue to fight
|

Strength In Numbers
00:45
|
|||
|
All of you people have kept me alive
When none of their promises ever arrive
When they give us less than we need to survive
All of you people keep me alive
They say there’s strength in numbers
Our numbers never end
An international brotherhood
And sisterhood of friends
You play a part in keeping me sane
Each time my life starts to slide out of frame
Each time I fall I’ll be picked up again
You play a large part in keeping me sane

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

WE PRETEND TO WORK BECAUSE THEY PRETEND TO PAY US
We pretend to work because they pretend to pay us
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
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!
WARMONGER
Not making us safer
You’re making things worse
You’re endless need for war
Has become our curse
Warmonger
Bombing from the skies
A simple act of terror
Killing to achieve your aims
A bloody act of murder

Greed Is Killing Us All
00:33
|
|||
|
Overcrowded market place
Animals stuffed in cages
Breading ground for virus
Your thirst for meat still rages
Cruelty is killing us all
Greed is killing us all
The rich are taking more
They lie and lie and lie
Our society is broken
And we’re all gonna die.

Coke Costs Life
00:39
|
|||
|
A sickly Sweet consumer smile
Hides the bitter taste
Unionised workers terrorised
Human rights erased
Boycott Coca-cola
Coke costs life
Third world manufacture
keeps slavery unseen
While sugar coated pop stars
Sell the first world dream
|

We’re turning their wheels
They don’t care if we’re stressed
With no time to think
We’re left depressed
They need us too scared to stand up and strike
They need us compliant not looking for rights
There’s more of us, we need to rise up
There’s more of us, we need to stand up
If we get together a worker lead movement
We don’t need statistics
Or their management
They need us too scared to stand up and strike
They need us compliant not looking for rights
There’s more of us, we need to rise up
There’s more of us, we need to stand up
We need to stand up and fight

Lie Upon Lie
00:54
|
|||
|
No pretence in you defence
Slogans do not make it true
Soundbites for a desperate age
Lies back everything you do
Strong and Stable – Safe and Able
Strong and Stable – Safe and Able
– Lie upon lie
People's lives are not a toy
You’re just talking out your arse
Out of reach, untouchable
Lying to secure this farce
Strong and Stable – Safe and Able
Strong and Stable – Safe and Able
– Lie upon lie

Trapped (Covid Version)
00:40
|
|||
|
I felt trapped when I left the house
Home was refuge, I felt free
Work feels like a prison cage
That’s now at home for me
Trapped, Still feel trapped
Black clouds gather in my head
Outside is where I want to be
Not staring at this screen
Fighting with anxiety

It's Happened Again
01:38

You walked into fascism’s open arms
Put a cross in their box, cheered when they won
They promised you that you’d come to no harm
Promised you’d see the outsiders gone
We’ve forgotten the past - it’s happened again
We ignored the warnings - it’s happened again
The fascist leaders wear ties and suits
They’re leading us all into subjugation
The police are their violent from line troops
Stamping out your right of demonstration
We’ve forgotten the past - it’s happened again
We ignored the warnings - it’s happened again
Now jackboots stamp down on your head
You helped create this nightmare situation
Turns out it’s also you that they want gone
You don’t fit into their new right nation

Closing off our world
With macho white male shit
Adversity to diversity
In a vicious circle pit
Half a scene -We’ve got half a scene
Half a scene - We’ve got half a scene
Its time we realised
We can’t do this alone
An ocean of white faces
Mixed with testosterone
Half a scene -We’ve got half a scene
Half a scene - We’ve got half a scene
Punk should be inclusive
And practice what we preach
It only makes us weaker
When half our scene is out of reach

Loose Change
01:37

Every single pound that’s dropped in a collection tin
Plugs another gaping hole that the state’s let fray
The fact that we need charity is a fucking disgrace
The failing of a system in perpetual decay
Helping themselves
Before everyone else
Every little sticker that is bought and worn with pride
Only goes to highlight that they just don’t fucking care
Each one should be a working function that the state provides
But there is nothing in the pot after they all take their share
Helping themselves
Before everyone else
State corruption – Steals from charity
Expenses scams – Steal from charity
Trident missiles– Steal from charity
Nepotism – Steals from charity
