WHY SO LIMITED<\/p>\n

Are we all so mentally restricted to the lives we lead?
\nFear of our own strength & ability to create is all in the mind so limited
\nWhen just beyond that barrier lies hope not fear
\nMinds so limited
\nWhy so limited?
\nMinds so limited
\nYou\u2019re so limited<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

MENTALLY MURDERED<\/p>\n

Living up to other peoples expectations is the only quality
\nYou need to get on
\nYou end up a million miles from the place you started from
\nAnd become mentally a mixture of a million other turds
\nMouthing regurgitations of other peoples words
\nBorn an individual with your own life to live
\nYou end up a blank face in a zombie-like crowd
\nThrough the sieve & wrapped in a shroud
\nIt\u2019s a shitty pitiful existence
\nTamely you observe
\nDrained of any resistance
\nSo the status quo stays as it is, perfect bliss
\nBorn an individual with your own life to live You end up a blank face in a
\nZombie-like crowd
\nEasy come
\nEasy go
\nLike water in a sieve
\nOur flesh may be lost forever in a red, blue & white shroud
\nA life of sub-servience is all we\u2019re allowed
\nSlaves to other peoples expectations of being up to the mark all along
\nBorn an individual you end up a million miles from the place you started from
\nMentally murdered
\nMeant to be murdered<\/p>\n

THEY’VE TAKEN EVERYTHING<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a name & I\u2019ve been given a number
\nBeen pushed to the ground
\nSo I\u2019m going under
\nDon\u2019t want to live from day to day on mere pittance
\nThey\u2019ve taken my life & given me an existence<\/p>\n

Taken life & given existance
\nYou take my life
\nYou couldn\u2019t take anymore<\/p>\n

Could live in peace
\nBut they won’t let us
\nCould live with freedom
\nBut they just can\u2019t see
\nOur days are numbered
\nBut they don\u2019t have to be
\nThey\u2019ve taken everything – now they\u2019d kill us
\nTaken life & given existance
\nYou take my life
\nYou couldn\u2019t take anymore<\/p>\n

Raped of everything apart from our dignity
\nWe stand not alone in our strive for equality
\nAs resistance grows & your orders are refused
\nTake a look around
\nUsed, abused, unamused

Let\u2019s think of a new way<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

FUCKED UP STATE<\/p>\n

Life ain\u2019t no fun in this fucked up state
\nWhere they teach you to love in a world of hate
\nThis world they run and treat as their own
\nUsing politics, religion, the queen on her throne<\/p>\n

Give us lies and hide the truth
\nWe never doubt so we don\u2019t find the proof
\nTime to doubt stand face-to-face
\nThey\u2019ve stolen our world, now they run the place<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t want your fascist state
\nWe don\u2019t want your world of hate
\nWe don\u2019t want your lies and cons
\nWe don\u2019t want to tag along
\nWe don\u2019t want dividing lines
\nWe don\u2019t want set times
\nWe don\u2019t want your death-work nor its pay
\nWe don\u2019t want to do as you say
\nWe don\u2019t want bright-coloured bribes
\nWe don\u2019t want your fucking lies
\nWe don\u2019t want your politics
\nWe don\u2019t want your violent kicks
\nWe don\u2019t want your nuclear power
\nWe don\u2019t want your doomsday hour
\nWe don\u2019t want to live in fear
\nWe don\u2019t want polluted air
\nWe don\u2019t want the atomic risk
\nWe don\u2019t have to live like this!<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

PRESENT AND HISTORY<\/p>\n

Your cord is cut
\nYour arse is smacked
\nWe’ll take the piss all your life
\nWe\u2019ll show you strife
\nYou don\u2019t know nothing sonny Jim
\nIf we have anything to do with it
\nYou never will
\nWe\u2019ve got you brained we\u2019ll have you trained
\nTo crawl
\nTo kill
\nProtected from the start
\nRejected with no heart
\nRespect your elders
\nWe\u2019re your chain welders
\nProtected from what?
\nYou\u2019re always in the dark
\nRejections what you\u2019ve got
\nYet you still play your part
\nYou don\u2019t do what you want to
\nYou do what you\u2019re told to
\nBut of course you never realise you\u2019re not supposed to
\nSo now you\u2019re taught their morality, their law
\nSo you can\u2019t see they\u2019re stealing your feelings
\nThey need your acceptance to bury the lies
\nThey\u2019ve fed your ears with those lies
\nIf you can\u2019t see this
\nThen they\u2019ve got your eyes
\nYou see? They do!
\nYou must listen all the time
\nObey & shut yours
\nOtherwise they\u2019ll have you behind closed doors
\nFly their flag & sing their songs
\nProtect their power by building bombs
\nThey have killed millions throughout the ages
\nDo you turn a blind eye once again & once again pay the consequences
\nEvery time in the past when we\u2019ve drunk their piss
\nThey\u2019ve taken off their velvet glove…… & shown us their fist<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

DIVIDING LINE<\/p>\n

We the coin
\nThey the meter
\nThey the arse
\nWe the excretion
\nThey the system and we\u2019re part of it
\nThey the flies
\nWe the shit
\nThey lay down laws so they can rest
\nThey the oppressors
\nWe the oppressed
\nThey clap their hands so we jump
\nThey commit the crime
\nWe take the brunt
\nThey declare war
\nWe pull the trigger
\nThey the fascist
\nWe the nigga
\nThey issue the boots
\nWe do the marching
\nThey the pissed
\nWe left parching
\nThey click fingers
\nWe push the button
\nPeople starving because of gluttons
\nThey the captain of this sinking ship
\nThey only the clasp, we tighten their grip<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

SOD THE CHILDREN<\/p>\n

Sometimes the silly things children say do and ask
\nDon\u2019t seem quite so silly when thought about closely
\nThey ask why feeding the needy should be such a task
\nWe feed them politics
\nThey ask straightforward and down to earth questions
\nWhich merit reasonable no-nonsense answers
\nBut in our own ignorance to the points children raise
\nWe feed them bullshit
\nThey push the meat aside
\nOnly to be force-fed
\nMaybe subconsciously
\nThey question the malnutrition & starvation of children their own age
\nSo far away
\nWe feed them next to nothing
\nSod the children
\nSod future generations
\nLet\u2019s be grown ups
\nLet\u2019s force feed our children their inheritance of our failure to understand
\nAnd respect
\nWe feed on each other

SHOW US YOU CARE<\/p>\n

I\u2019m over here in the cage
\nTake a real good look at my face
\nI smoked twenty fags today
\nThe pain from the experiment has gone away…
\nBut it\u2019ll be back soon & I hope I don\u2019t live through it
\nI hope I\u2019ll die
\nBreathe my last breath
\nA way out of a fate worse than death
\nMy pain to ease yours
\nIt\u2019s a raw deal my rights for your ignorance greed and vanity
\nBut I forgot, curiosity rules
\nI mean nothing and you just couldn\u2019t care
\nBut you don\u2019t bloody care & it just ain\u2019t fair that I\u2019ve got screws in my
\nHead
\nOr if I wind up dead
\nOr if I look pathetic
\nOr if I\u2019ll get an anesthetic
\nOr if I meow or scream for your cosmetic cream
\nOr if they swap my heart
\nOr if I\u2019m torn apart
\nThey torment my brain again and again
\nOr if they swell up my eyes or increase my size
\nOr if I\u2019m strapped and trapped to a table or chair
\nC\u2019mon admit it you just don\u2019t care
\nIf they rip me open and just start poking around
\nFor a remedy to an illness which doesn\u2019t exist
\nOr if they start again for something they\u2019ve missed
\nI must have rights and I want my share
\nBut if only, if only you\u2019d show us you care
\nYou know I\u2019ve rights & I want my share
\nBut if only, if only you\u2019d show us you care
\n\u2019Cos you can\u2019t understand my voice
\nSomehow it always leaves me no choice
\nI can\u2019t expect you to voice my rights
\nWhen you don\u2019t even voice your own
\nBecause of your ignorance I guess we\u2019ll always pay
\nWe fellow beings just hope you\u2019ll realise on day
\nThat we\u2019ve got lots in common
\nOne is that were both downtrodden by the people
\nWho\u2019ve got big plans for this nation
\nYou see they even test animals with chemical warfare
\nWeapons effects & riot control agents & radiation & whilst you\u2019re ignoring
\nThere\u2019s a big bang coming
\nMaybe you owe it to yourselves to show us you care
\nSo come on and free us
\nFree us….. I dare<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

DEATH IS THE ONLY RELEASE<\/p>\n

Bodies clamped firmly in position
\nRipped open
\nAnimal fission
\nTaken beyond the pain barrier and back again
\nDeath is the only release
\nLiberation please<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

ONE SECOND TO MIDNIGHT<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s in torment
\nPropaganda reigns
\nTo keep us quiet \u2019til the fallout rains
\nWell I ain\u2019t gonna shut my trap
\n\u2019Cos my life\u2019s my life & I’m shouting back
\nThe world\u2019s an asylum
\n“We’ve got the most weapons”
\nSaid the eagle to the bear
\n“Well ours are bigger, so there”
\nSaid bear
\n“Well, let\u2019s have a war then we\u2019ll see who\u2019s best”
\nSimple, light, heat, blast, radiation, death
\nThe world\u2019s an asylum<\/p>\n

(Chorus) The world\u2019s an asylum & I’m sitting in it\u2019s cell
\nDon\u2019t feel sorry for me
\n\u2019Cos you are as well
\nWho are these people to rule us & spurn us?
\nWho are these people to ridicule then burn us?
\nIts their personal battle & they threaten mankind
\nLight, heat, blast, leave me blind
\nThe world\u2019s an asylum
\nThey\u2019d never stop to think how we feel
\nThey\u2019d bloody our shit & vomit & make our skins
\nPeel & turn our statures into hideous things
\nNo thanks to them & their blindness
\nThe death bells ring
\nThe world\u2019s an asylum

MIDNIGHT<\/p>\n

Realise death \u2019cos death is real
\nOr it\u2019ll be too late
\nIf you don\u2019t fight this death
\nThis death you create
\nAs the fireball expands & begins to rise
\nAs the fireball expands & begins to rise
\nOur moulded stupidity horribly seen through burnt out eyes
\nAs the fireball expands & begins to rise
\nA nuclear holocaust
\nA sight for sore eyes
\nSee the children’s eyes, hear the peoples cries
\nAs the fireball expands & begins to rise<\/p>\n

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t mind slaving all my life
\nFor the benefit of others
\nWho were born into privilege
\nWho tear the earth apart with their self-importance & greed
\nBecause those who tear the earth apart
\nWith their self-importance & greed
\nHave convinced me that it\u2019s all I\u2019m fit for
\nHave convinced me that it\u2019s my purpose
\nHave convinced me that it\u2019s what I\u2019m here for
\nI don\u2019t mind killing all my life
\nFor the benefit of others who were born into privilege
\nWho tear the earth apart
\nWith the fear they instill with their wars
\nBecause those who tear the earth apart
\nWith the fear they instill with their wars
\nHave convinced me they are worth dying & killing for
\nHave convinced me god is worth dying & killing for
\nHave convinced me lies are worth dying & killing for
\nI don\u2019t mind being a pawn all my life
\nFor the stupidity of others
\nWho were born into privilege
\nWho tear the earth apart
\nWith their assurance of life after death
\nBecause those who tear the earth apart
\nWith their assurance of life after death
\nHave convinced me that my shitty life will be compensated
\nFor when I\u2019ve finished feeding their mouths & lining
\nTheir pockets& fighting their wars & believing their lies
\nI will live peacefully ever after in some imaginary Christian utopia
\nIn heaven with god
\nIn harmony
\nOnward Christian Soldiers
\nAnother life awaits
\n(Lies & assurances of something better in the future always
\nMakes us happy with the shit we have at present)<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

SELF STYLED SUPERIORITY<\/p>\n

Man\u2019s got the capability
\nFor the ultimate stupidity
\nMan can conquer all
\nMan can destroy it all
\nMan is so small, yet man can do it all
\nMan is obsessed with power & things that\u2019ll give him power
\nOver all fellow beings to use
\nIf ever he feels threatened or if he feels he’s coming second
\nMan sits proudly on top of the pile
\nProudly on to of the stockpile
\nAll else rots
\nAway
\nMeanwhile…. Men, women, children & animals get crushed in his systems
\nMachinery
\nLabeled with inferiority
\nMans biggest mistake is his self-styled superiority
\nMan\u2019s got the capability for the ultimate stupidity
\nMan can conquer all
\nMan can destroy it all
\nMan is so small, yet man can do it all
\nMan the most intelligent of all beings?
\nYet man is so ignorant to all others feelings
\nInsensitive, incompetent, uncaring man
\nSwallows up all others cultures
\nEnemy of the earth with \u2018progress\u2019
\nHomo sapiens suppress
\nBlow over cities
\nSo great an achievement
\nFrom which nothing can be achieved
\nSetting aside destruction & radioactive bodies of all types, colours & creeds
\nThis is the food on which progress feeds
\nBut surely this ain\u2019t progress
\nIt\u2019s the regress of mans self-styled superiority
\nMan\u2019s got the capability for the ultimate stupidity
\nMan can conquer all
\nMan can destroy it all
\nMan is so small, yet man can do it all
\nMan has learnt to…. Destroy
\nMurder, rob, hate, con, waste & torture…. & all legally
\nThen man has learnt nothing<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

POWER FOR POWER<\/p>\n

They\u2019d destroy this world they treat as theirs but say is ours
\nDestroy us with their wars & nuclear power
\nFool us with their lies about radiation
\nFool themselves they\u2019ll be the remainder of the nation
\nThey won\u2019t just give up their atomic shit
\nThey just act bland
\nStand up & argue
\nMake your stand
\nYou\u2019re better active today
\nThan radioactive tomorrow
\nThey\u2019d destroy this world they treat as theirs but say is ours
\nThey need nukes for profit & power
\nFight back
\nDon\u2019t cower
\nOur victory in reality means facing it, not running from it
\nThey won\u2019t give up their dangerous death games
\nThey just act bland
\nIts up to us to make a stand
\nStand up & argue
\nMake your stand
\nThey need nukes for profit & power
\nFight back
\nDon\u2019t cower
\nOne form of power for another form of power
\nPower for power<\/p>\n
