Verse 1
She came to look for me/ With flowers in her hair, dead flowers there/ Said do you want to dance? I want to dance!/Held three dead lilies and a gun in her hands
Chorus
Get on your bike and pedal out of my life/You’re so fucking dumb and you taste like cherry bubblegum/Set them up barman I’ll carry that cross/You relax with a cup of joe and a candyfloss
Verse 2
I know a girl she’s got a curl/Right in the middle of her forehead/When she is good she is very, very good/But when she is bad, my God she’s horrid!
Chorus
Punks not dead just all of my friends/There once was more of us than them/Left to my own voices and my own devices/I’m at ease with my disease
Chorus
You know you’re a psycho and nobody likes you/As for me I kind of idolise you/No such rose arose in her cheeks/Our lips doth meet mine heart doth beat

Verse 1
Failure is always an option in the morbid dark of my mood/You silhouette looms then moves for a moment/Before walking in to the sunshine for good/The world is fucked and doesn’t make any sense and I’m a thousand miles deep behind a barb wire fence/A box within a box to keep my fragile ego in place/And I just can’t take another fucking hit/I’ve spent so long wallowing in this pit/I couldn’t see the light of joy if it smacked me right in the face
Pre Chorus
Keep climbing/Because the sky stretches on forever and ever/Keep smiling/Don’t let the bastards know that you know better
Chorus
Just give me something for the pain/A little kick to get me moving/Oh I can take another day/If I know exactly what I’m proving/I don’t expect you all to stay/Until I drag you down to where I’m losing/Just give me something for the pain/And close the door/Turn out the lights
Verse 2
Welcome to an old friend of mine, people see what they want to see/Never show that you’re bleeding loneliness/It’s the wound that will never heal/Slap on a grin but try as I might, there’s always yet another tunnel at the end of my light/I find the strength to try again from somewhere deep in my soul/But when finally get back up on your feet, there are only two types of the people you meet/Those who pull up the ladder and those who will fill in the hole
Verse 3
Loving where you are is earned and every second you’re alive is another lesson learned/If we all love each other we can break away from any hold/Tomorrow always is another day, and purpose is the brush that adds the colour to the grey/Learn to spot your allies, they are worth their weight in gold

Intro
Oh no, here we go not another bit like this/Same as the last one, how formulaic/And why do you always have to yell so much?/Just sit back down and shut your mouth/What is it though this drug we’re taking? I reckon we ought to be thinking about it and no mistaking/But you’re in such a rush to start mandating /And I ain't hating/But isn’t that fascist?/Or least what we all have been trying to fight against/Did Antifa go too far and the left start righting wrongs left undone/When a kid with a gun, shot someone/And Will Smith hit the rocks in a dress/All this garbage you’re pumping up into our brains made me digress/Australia is lost, Canada is lost, France is lost, UK is lost/Checkmate, that’s what I’m saying/And none of us ever got told the what rules are or the fact that we’d started the game we were playing/Isn’t it ironic like Alanis once said/How young men everywhere are dropping dead/Off the chart since 2021 another heart attack at the starter’s gun/Mass formation everyone get into step/Here come the Technocrats with an agenda preset that they called agenda 21/Welcome to the age of depopulation/So I say, give peace a chance no more/They’re already fighting, so I call for war
Verse 1
Experimen-no/Not what you thought I would say hey?/You better keep on walking if you’re talking that way/Antivaxeline fuck you I’m going in dry/A’int nothing in my blood except too much pie/New rum burgers/tore it up when the planet hit the skids/So they could go experi mental on our kids, oh fuck.
Chorus
Walk it off son where’s the magic sponge?/We took two years of your life with no refunds/And we gave (You got) back was a heart attack with full (no) indemnity/So walk it off son x4
Verse 2
Coronas? 19 and a line of shots/Put a lime in each bottle and line them up/We’ll drink down your pejoratives then drag you outside/Fuck you up for your cowardly pride/Totalitarians tiptoed through the schools/Took our babies hands, and tore up all the rules. Oh Fuck!
Bridge
Something shifted on a poison idea/Some chose to bury their faces in the fear/Climbed right in the pot and let the state drop the lid/So they could psychologically torture our kids/Cowered in fear ignoring the results
Let our culture fall in thrall to a cult/Smear dissent with the stench of Trump/Get your media to convince the people that hate is love/Ukraine is lost, America is lost, humanity’s loss is the final cost/We let them pour their poisons through the schools/Ever get the feeling you’ve been fooled?/So I say “give peace a chance” no more
They came for our kids/I call for war.
Verse 3
You turn your head round, and close your mind the right way/You can blame Russia for anything on a clear enough day/And I wonder what was happening while we were looking that way?/Never mind, roll up your sleeve and Slava Ukraine!/Day after day they take everything from us/So when they came for the kids/We didn’t even make a fuss. Fuck you.

Verse 1
Good guy, gone bad, we found another body in the park today/Some say that I did it/But there’s nobody who saw me do it/Feel free to follow me, if you want to see another dead body/Is that a gun in your hand?/My dear, loyal friend
Verse 2
Fight fire with fire, Fight poverty with poverty let’s burn all the money/Wayward shots, wayward aim/Fight the good fight, all the zombies must die/An eye for an eye and a life for a life/Another dream, a new regime the process starts again/Buy a gun and lock your door/Board up your windows get ready for work and war!
Chorus
I hear you screaming/Sometimes late at night you know I still wake up/And hear you screaming
Verse 3
Bubonic or pandemic? Fleas or rats, boils or breath lets choose/Roll call, roll call/Tie your laces stand in line you are the next to die/Science or God? If this is the new deal then I don’t much like it/Dead man, face down/The scum always rises back to the top

Verse 1
Another brutal murder in a shopping mall (what’s on the news?)/Our reporter on the scene, he filmed it all (what’s on the news?)/Armed to the teeth a reluctant zero (what’s on the news?)/It seems that one man’s monster is another man’s hero (it depends what’s on the news?)
Pre Chorus
So tell me, tell me what can I think today?/This is hell for me, won’t end well for me/Because I can’t trust what you say/And I won’t live like this for one more day
Chorus
What’s on the news?
Verse 2
Another deadly virus sweeping through the population (what’s on the news?)/And we cannot underestimate the environmental devastation!/what’s on the news?)/Our benevolent cannot guarantee your safety. (what’s on the news?)/So you’d better lock yourselves up and hand us the key. (what’s on the news?)
Middle 8
So tell me, tell me, tell me another Goebellian lie/Feed me on your fever dream, we’ll let the sponsors decide/A line’s been drawn, a narrative point but don’t look under that rug/Look into my eyes, here’s a nice surprise, we’re going to sell you a wonder drug!
Verse 3
A tiny revolution in a shopping mall (what’s on the news?)/The armed police they killed them all…good (what’s on the news?)/There are internment camps at the end of every street now (what’s on the news?)/Because those that forget are condemned to repeat now (what’s on the news?)
Outro
So here it is the whole kerfuffle all laid out bare/We’re in a state of mass hypnosis driven by prolonged fear/We’re forced to trust implicitly in an authority that it’s proven we can trust/Crawling over the bodies to the moral high ground is a cultural must/Give a man enough hope and he will hang his self/There’s our freedom hidden away like a trophy on a shelf/If we do exactly what we’re told then they might just let us live/Promising to give us back our freedom like it was ever theirs to give/“For your safety and convenience” the totalitarian mantra/Another goose-step forward for the art of propaganda/The news got bought so it isn’t that new/And the last thing they want is an educated you.

Verse 1
I know I’m a very special lab rat/I accept what I’ve been taught/Every choice I make in life it sucks/Some choices suck more than other choices/With your delusions of grandeur, and your pocket book Freud/Though we never get beyond the beginning/The sun will rise tomorrow no rhyme and no reason
Verse 2
Everybody is dead at the end of someday/Just holding on to our misery/Here’s to hope, there’s no hope, here’s to no hope at all/Hope someone is there to catch me when I fall/You can find yourself man, if you knew where to look/Though we never get beyond the beginning/The sun will rise tomorrow no rhyme and no reason
Middle 8
Starve a fever, feed a cold/Deeper down, there is no deeper down/I won’t be scared/I won’t be scared/I won’t be scared of your pressure I don’t sweat you/Precious words are treasures bless the man who dies fighting for our right to use language/My free expression is a right not a privilege
And I chose to dig the furrow of the way live/You think you know me? What the fuck have you ever shown me except a heavy boot and a great respect for authority?/The way I live is my river to drown in/The hill I die on only I can fucking climb it/Starve a fever feed a cold, feed an ego and this shit gets really old/Scratching at the surface until you think you’re paying rent/But your pop-psyche ruminations will only let you know what’s absent/Try to turn those eyes in a mirrored direction/I own my actions not your flawed perceptions/So infectious! One follows one follows one follows one/Until it all adds up to a long walk home when we all die alone/When you’re all the way down/There is no deeper

Verse 1
I don't care what's left or right/Because left and right is dead/Paradigm turned to pejorative to stop the thoughts right in your head
Verse 2
My eyes were torn open to abyss I was woken/And yes, I did see/Now I swear I'll fight to my death with my very last breath/For our children to be free
Chorus
This is ugly, this is war/But look back and you'll see that we have won this before/So fight! When the fight is hardest and when the night is darkest cry out "I am still here"/And when the cold dark comes in to drown you/Feel our warm arms around you Brothers and sisters, we're here/The injectors defective in my ejector seat
Verse 3
Young leader, young leader are you left or right?/Because us worthless eaters, parasites/Ask what the fuck gives you the right to hijack civilisation?/We lost before we knew the war/All we have left is pride/So you can trust this, vengeance-justice, we will turn this tide

Chorus
Its you and me against the world/And the world doesn’t stand a chance now we’re together/Its you and me against the world/And the world doesn’t stand a chance if we’ve got each other
Verse 1
Night turns to night the darkness bleeds/The end result what supersedes/Until we’re a name on a list of names that no-one remembers/Fight the good fight, have a good life/A shot to the head I just couldn’t die/Everybody has got a story and I’m sick of everyone’s stories!
Verse 2
Once battles fought, both victors slain/Flowers never grow on the vanquished graves/I’m excluding everyone else in the world right now, excluding you/Everything is so easy now/This screwed up world is mine and yours/Enjoy the world, we’ll destroy the world – do you remember?
Middle 8
It’s you and me, against the world/It’s you and me against the world/Against the world, it’s you and me/It’s you and me against the world
