This Country 03:07
At home you’re told to grow up, don’t talk back do as you’re told, When you leave school we’ll work you until your dead, But I don’t really see these things that way I don’t want to hate and I don’t wanna kill Mama I don’t want your fears put into me. Ch/ Come on people who’ve had enough Fuck your governments and fuck your laws! This country this country, this country has failed us This country, this country has failed you and me. Just take a look around your own street, The defeated faces of those who’ve give in, Give em Prozac or just give us death!! And if you you think about it we aint got no rights I can’t refuse a job if I don’t want to There’s no freedom for people like you and me!! Bridge I’m waiting for the people to shout” we want governments out And the head of politicians put on a spike!!

Dangerous 01:50
I was fed a lie, through family and state Systematic death, pre-determined fate Distractions guaranteed with tabloids and TV CHORUS: far more dangerous x 3 Now I don’t give a fuck I ain’t got the answers I’m no preacher man But ask me my beliefs well I’ll question the best I can Freedom’s never lost we just relinquish it CHORUS Well this life is for living this moment I’m alive I work when I want work but not from 9 to 5 I’m for self reliance and I dig for victory

Used 02:52
From the very first minute I was put on this earth, I was made to know my place. There are those who are given every start in life And those who have nothing like me. We are made to think we have nothing to give And be thankful for the little we have. We must always grovel to are betters Because they have the money and power.. CH/ We’re not gonna be used And we’re no longer gonna lie down for you(x2) They put us into there state run schools To teach us how we can serve They tell us to be upright and honest But they lie they cheat and they steal From the very first moment I spoke my mind They beat me into the ground. But this is my faith, I’ll lift my banner high And this is my slogan to you.. CH/ For far too long we let them defeat us But I think its time we made our stand Whatever happened to all those young rebels Who believed that revolution was now We where so stupid to stand for theirs causes We where used to fight in their wars Its time we made our voices heard And take back what’s rightfully ours

Radicals 02:52
Sunday night and I’m starting to land Been working over the weekend and I’m feeling down Doesn’t seem a lad gets a chance I mow lawns for the rich man and I will till I die. I find it hard to swallow theirs lies I’d rather hang them from street lights I don’t want to think like you I mow lawns for the rich man, that’s what I do. Chorus/ Let’s build the barricades and we’ll fight them street by street The multi nationals and the exploiters we’ll drive them into the sea You never had an opinion a day in your live If you roll in shit you’ll smell like that Revolution starts when the beer runs out I mow lawns for the rich man and I blame myself
5.
Addiction 01:27
I can see it in your eyes, you don’t have to tell me shit. You cant despise me more I do myself Don’t think I ever wanted to be like this But whatever I want its not the same as I get. Ch/ Addiction it’s a living affliction Addiction Full of contradictions Addiction I believe the lie, I know what I am and your just like me. There’s many ways to get what you want In a filthy rat race of kissing ass Fuck your disappointments and fuck your life, You insignificant little SHITE...
6.
Bank Holiday 02:54
Bank holidays in a seaside, breathing in the tension waiting for a spark, there’s something goin to happen and they don’t have a clue... Waited for this moment all my life we’re goin to do damage and it feels alright, its payback time, you can fuck your rules. Ch/ And the cops don’t know what’s goin on We’re gonna rip this town apart And just for the day this town belongs to us (twice) Punks and skins poured of the train, we head to kaki and get pissed out a are brain, I know its goin to kick off when the time is right. We slip the cops and hit main street smashing windows pitch battle in the streets, this is my generation and the kids are alright. Ch/ This is the day we won’t back down we’ll fight em in the streets we’ll stand are ground, this is the day this town is ours..

Bastards 01:50
When you’re at school you think you know it all After a few years you’re put on the dole There’s nothing you can do so you don’t say a word You don’t trust me I don’t trust you. Ch/ This is my own private war I refuse to be your slave anymore I’ll not surrender I’ll stand my ground Don’t let the bastards grind you down. It’s all a plan it’s just a con You fall into dept when you lose your job They kick you out into the streets in the pissin rain Fuck your unions your just gutless pricks
8.
How many times have you heard them say? People fought and died for the right to vote Got the right to die in the rich mans war Or live and rot on the dole. CH/ Don’t vote politicians are lairs Don’t vote your wastin your time Don’t vote your just encouraging them They start the wars, they drop the bombs They let the bankers rob the poor. A million people march in the streets They shout no more war you didn’t listen to them Come on people lets organize!! It’s time we make the bankers pay. CH/

They shall not pass They shall not pass Firm, solid, voices loud They shall not pass. Came the marching of the black shirts Came the pounding of their feet Came the sound of the fascist marching Where the five roads meet. We thought of so many refugees Fleeing from the fascist hordes The maimed, the sick, the young, the old Those who fought the fascist scum. Ch/ So we stopped there at Gardiner’s We fought and we won our way We fought the baton charges No fascist passed that day. We stood at Gardiner’s corner We stood and watched the crowd We stood firm at Gardiner’s corner And we beat the fascist down. Ch/
10.
They say Son you better walk away; Do you think you stand a chance? Get the fuck in line. Standing outside a bank with a petrol bomb in my hand! It won’t change a thing but it would make me fuckin laugh. CH/ You failed us(x4) Burn this world it’s so unevenly divide, If you kiss so much arse you’ll fit in nice and neat, Killing a Politician that’s no problem to me, They’re just parasites and should be put to death... Ch/

Start A War 01:25
So fucked up I don’t know what I’m talking about You’re looking at me and I don’t know what you want Booze and wiz keep me up all night So messed up I’m fucking fried You’re looking at me and I’m feeling fucking paranoid The rooms closing in and I got to get out Rock n roll won’t save your soul Two weeks later I’m signing on Ch/ Let’s start a war (x2) I do what I want and I don’t give a fuck Been down so long I can’t get up Burn the world who gives a fuck Worth there’s nothing fighting for.
12.
Come all you good workers Good news to you I’ll tell Of how we’ll fight the Tory cuts And send them all to hell Ch/ Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Riff/ Oh workers can you stand it? Oh tell me how you can Will you be a lousy scab? Or will you be a man? Ch/ Riff/ Don’t scab for the bosses Don’t listen to their lies Poor folk ain’t got a chance Unless they organize
