Banned from the Roxy... OK |
|
I never much liked playing there, anyway |
|
They said they only wanted well-behaved boys |
|
Do they think guitars and microphones are just fucking toys? |
|
Fuck 'em, I've chosen to make my stand |
|
Against what I feel is wrong with this land |
|
They just sit there on their overfed arses |
|
Feeding off the sweat of less fortunate classes |
|
They keep their fucking power, 'cause their finger's on the button |
|
They've got control, and won't let it be forgotten |
|
The truth of their reality is at the wrong end of a gun |
|
The proof of that is Belfast, and that's no fucking fun |
|
Seeing the squaddy lying in the front yard |
|
Seeing the machine guns resting on the fence |
|
Finding the entrance to your own front door is barred |
|
They've got the fucking nerve to call it defence |
|
Seems their defence is just the threat of strength |
|
Protection for the privileged at any length |
|
The government protecting their profits from the poor |
|
The rich and the fortunate chaining up the door |
|
Afraid that the people may ask for a little more |
|
Than the shit they get, shit they get, shit they get, |
|
Shit they get, shit they get, shit they get, |
|
Shit they get, shit they get |
|
DEFENCE? SHIT, IT'S NOTHING LESS THAN WAR |
|
AND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT'S FOR |
|
Oh yes, they say it's defence, they say it's decency |
|
Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean? |
|
The same fucking lies with depressing frequency |
|
They say "We had to do it to keep our lives clean" |
|
Whose life? Whose fucking life? |
|
Who the fuck are they talking to? |
|
Whose life? Whose fucking life? |
|
I'll tell you one thing, it ain't me and you |
|
And their systems? Christ, they're everywhere |
|
School, army, church, the corporation deal |
|
Fucked up reality based on fear |
|
Fucking conspiracy to stop you feeling real |
|
Well, they ain't got me |
|
I'd say they're fucking wrong |
|
I ain't quite ready with my gun |
|
But I've got me song |
|
Banned from the Roxy... OK |
|
I never much liked playing there, anyway |
|
GUNS |
