All Gone Dead
01:55
|
|
||
All is quiet all is dead
The city has melted
The sound has penetrated
Through our heads
The world has ended the gas is gone
It killed the people now the mutants live on
Chorus:
So long to the world
That's what they said
It's 1984 and it's all gone dead
There is no England
Anarchy is right
But don't contradict
Or try to fight
It's always dark there is no light
And 77 has rose to it's height
Chorus
They shouldn't have brought back hanging
It caused a lot of fuss
No one could trust the government
We had the fuckers sussed
There are no banks left
They've all gone bust
And the houses of Parliament is just a pile of dust
Chorus
It's 1984 and there's gonna be a war
War,war, who needs fucking war

Germ
03:07
|
|
||
I am a germ under your skin
I crawl through your veins and I work my way in
I play with your health I destroy all there is
I m the germ in your mouth when you give her a kiss
[chorus]
And tomorrow they'll put you away
And the doctors all they will say
Is- You're gonna die
I am a germ under your skin
Like a hypodermic needle pushed in
I run in your blood and I screw up your brain
I've got a disease just to send you insane
[chorus]
I am a germ under your skin
And I got a feeling I m gonna win
It s no use believing in the national health
Cos when you are dead I'll destroy someone else
[chorus]

Zyklon-B-Movie
02:33
|
|
||
There's a film at the cinema
And people go in pairs
They show it at night
And some people get scared
And once you're inside
They lock all the doors
And the seats are all empty
And there's blood on the floor
Chorus:
It's a Zyklon B-Movie
Straight out of the past
It's a Zyklon B-Movie
And it could be your last
And there's a nine-year old girl
Who came for a scream
She's screaming all night
And it isn't a dream
This is just the support film
To get you warmed up
But it's quite the reverse
Because it freezes your blood
Chorus
And the gas rises up
From under the chairs
This film is so lifelike
It feels like you're there
It's a Zyklon B-Movie
Certificate X
If this was the first film
Then what could come next?
It's a Zyklon B-Movie
Certificate Z
The Z is for Zyklon
And the people are dead

Big Brother
02:12
|
|
||
Here we are in a new age
Wishing we were dead
There's a TV in my front room
And it's screwing up my head
There's a scanner in the toilet
To watch you take a bath
And there's a picture of Hiroshima
To make sure you never laugh
Chorus:
And somebody told me
"Big Brother's watching you"
And somebody else said
"You know it's not true"
Who do you believe?
Well the police have all gone crazy
You never had it so bad
They take away the dignity
That you never really had
They know all about you
They even know what you drink
And if they thought you were worth it
They could sus out what you think
Chorus
Well they asked me how to prove it
And there was nothing I could say
I said "Watch out for Big Brother"
And then they put me away
They said I was paranoid
Because I wrote this song
But they didn't need to read it
Because they knew it all along
Chorus

Human Error
04:08
|
|
||
There's a bomb going off in Belfast
There's a war in Vietnam
There's a T.V. documentary
To help you understand
But the other channel is better
Cos it doesn't tax your mind
Relax in the ignorance of your home
As man destroys mankind
And the rest of the world has gone to sleep
Because they couldn't care less
The world is going, so am I
It's such a bloody mess
There's an arms race in America
The race that no one wins
If somebody pushed the button
The accidental sin
Meanwhile baby wonders
"What's a nuclear war?"
And mummy says "to tell the truth, I'm really not quite sure"
And the rest of the world was ignorant
Because they weren't told more
The pamphlet said 'just stay at home
Avoid the threat of war'
The computer pressed the button
The rain was full of lead
And more bombs dropped on Belfast
And Vietnam went dead
The T.V. documentary
Outlined the possible cause
It was just a human error
Because man invented war
And the rest of the world has gone to hell
Because they never cared more
The children cried before they died
So this is nuclear war
|

Parasites
02:57
|
|
||
The government are real good to us
They crowd in their shelters and let us die
The nuclear holocaust won't last long
White turns to black in the sky
[Chorus]
You build your demolition war
What the hell are you fighting for?
You keep your peace with the starving countries
The Cambodians have to be fed
But can't you see we've got our problems?
You're taxing us to buy tons of lead
[Chorus]
Labour can take the businesses over
Because they've got the workers' rights
A choice of three for democracy
And they're all parasites
[Chorus]
Parasites - taking over the country!
Parasites - taking over your home!
Parasites - taking over your mind!

It's Gonna Get Worse
02:41
|
|
||
I don't like the way I m living
No-one gives me any choice
You don't like the way I m singing
But all I got is my fucking voice
I can't get a word in edgeways
Surrounded by so many lies
They just treat us like subhumans
We're the people they despise
[Chorus:]
I m telling you it s gonna get worse...
Always rising unemployment
Always debates on nuclear war
Do you think that any government
Gives a shit what we stand for?
Sometimes you wonder what to do
When you haven't got no cash
Better start thinking what you'll do
When your country turns to ash
[Chorus]
You can blame the fucking Tories
Every government's the same
They don't believe in the public good
Just in their financial gain
Then the bastards throw you out
And take your furniture away
Cos you can't afford the rent
Unemployment doesn't pay

So Much Money
02:59
|
|
||
[chorus]
So much money where does it all come from?
We're paying for democracy never mind the bomb
So much money what does it do?
It puts them in power where they shit on you
You don't care about the social disease
You got so much money you can do as you please
Too many people voted for you
Now you re telling us what to do
Money is power and you re so rich
You married for money to a classy bitch
Use the cash to build up a regime
The silent man behind the killing machine
[Chorus]
Political war is an easy game
Using the people to support your aim
State your idea of your ideal state
And after they've voted it ll be too late
And when the country's in a fucking mess
They want to know the secret of your success
You never used weapons you never used tools
But money is power and people are fools

New Age
02:02
|
|
||
So you're living in fast world
See the people you've already killed
See what you've done with that machine of yours
You can't justify it, you ain't got a cause
Chorus:
It's only cos we're living in a new age
You don't know what you're like when you're in a rage
They're gonna put you away in a cage
You better start to act your age
Victims running, they are screaming
Living nightmares, they're not dreaming
They're too scared to walk the streets
The one with a gun they're afraid to meet
Chorus
You know you're killing off the race
They'll lock you away and change your face
Hatred of the new age turned your mind
Can't bear to live with the rest of mankind
Chorus

First Aid
02:09
|
|
||
I need first aid can't you see?
I'm cut up bad you can't recognize me
Got a couple of bullets in my leg
And your morphine shit going through my head
[chorus]
Gimme first aid that's what you're for
Gimme a shot gotta make sure
Gimme first aid hold me down
Something's wrong I can't move around
Knock me out cold with your local anaesthetic
Gimme some pills so I can't even feel it
The doctor's using Zyklon-B
Gonna calm me down gonna send me to sleep
[chorus]
So gimme first aid that's what I need
I get all sick whenever I bleed
They caught me bleeding in the street
Kicked me around like some dead meat

Animal
03:12
|
|
||
Ever since they put you away
Things haven t been quite the same
They cut off all your lovely hair
And gave you a brand new brain
Sent you to university
'Cos that was the next step up
Studying sociology
They gave you a plastic cup
[chorus]
What happened to you with your brand new brain?
What will they do if they get you again?
Animal! Coming to get you!
Animal! Cos you went insane!
Your new brain was working really well
And they were satisfied
They thought they'd done a miracle
But you had something to hide
They left a bit of your old brain
Stuck inside your skull
That bit screwed up your culture
You became an animal
[chorus]
One night you were drinking
In the student bar
Two pints blew your animal mind
Your brain just went too far
The laughter turned to slaughter
You took all you could get
Now you sit alone in a disco
Smoking cigarettes
[chorus]

Nothing I can Do
02:45
|
|
||
Oh my god it's raining again
And a 7-year-old anarchist is blowing up Berlin
My Subs LP is still brand-new
But what does it matter? There's nothing I can do
There's a great big hole in my back door
And everyone expects a nuclear war
I've been on the beer--I think I'm gonna spew
But what does it matter? There's nothing I can do
The dust in the road gets in my eyes
And the system tells such fucking lies
Why should I believe what they say is true?
But what does it matter? There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
I wouldn't do it for you
But you wouldn't do it for me
Well that's the facts you see
My 10-year-old sister's on the pill
Ronnie Bigg's got a flat in Brazil
Third generation ain't got a clue
What does it matter? There's nothing I can do
Nothing I can do
Nothin I can fucking do
I wouldn't do it for you anyway
It's another day
With nothing to say
And there's nothing I can do
|

Killing
02:01
|
|
||
You, you're driving me insane
But you know there's something wrong with my brain
My head is really in a whirl
Where you look just like a normal girl
Chorus:
But you don't really care
It happens everywhere
You don't give a shit
Forget about it
I was living in a plastic bag
I didn't know what to do
I didn't know she was a slag
Well what would you do?
Chorus
I didn't know I killed her
I was out of my mind
She only wanted my money
But she made me blind
Chorus

Trowbridge Park
04:03
|
|

Looks like it's another weekend
Down in Trowbridge park
All the pissheads running round
Photos in the dark
16 cans of Kestrel lager
Watching the Jesus freaks
Sit there laughing at their preaching
Do it every week
chorus-
All the punks in Trowbridge park
All the skins in Trowbridge park
All the mods in Trowbridge Park
All the pigs in Trowbridge park
Walk around in Trowbridge park
Drink cider just get pissed
Pigs on top of the multi-storey
Watch out you'll be nicked
Get into the Wiltshire Times
Get out of your head
Sleeping in the fucking bandstand
Waking up half dead
chorus
Writing on the war memorial
Slagging off the slags
People spend so much on drink
They can't afford the fags
Getting screwed up by the pigs
And the bikers get you narked
Get away from all the hassle
Come to Trowbridge park!
chorus

Society
02:13
|

Our society, what a drag
Another nervous breakdown, another fag
You can't get to sleep cos you lost your pills
And the protein tablets make you ill
[chorus]
Our society, what a drag!
Drive around in a smashed up car
Sometimes you wonder who you are
You look depressed as you walk upstairs
Cos you lost your job and no one cares
[chorus]
See the policemen running round
Driving culture underground
They get paid to put you away
Cos that's how the system works these days
[chorus]
Join the people on the dole
They lost interest years ago
What hope is there for you and me?
If this is our society?
[chorus]

Minority
01:23
|
|

Don't ask the people what the people think
They've got no opinion but they still think we stink
The great British public, the great majority
The safe foundation of our society
But we're the minority and we're OK
We're the minority, won't go away
We're the minority and we're OK
We're the minority, got something to say
Yeah we're the minority the ones with the brains
Putting the country on a nervous strain
They can't stand the truth--the truth never lies
The great British public got bricks in their eyes
But we're the minority and we're OK
We're the minority, won't go away
We're the minority and we're OK
We're the minority, got something to fucking say

Mickey Mouse is Dead
02:56
|
|
||
Mickey Mouse is dead
Got kicked in the head
Cos people got too serious
They planned out what they said
They couldn't take the fantasy
Tried to accept reality
Analyzed the laughs
Cos pleasure comes in halves
The purity of comedy
They had to take it seriously
Changed the words around
Tried to make it look profound
The comedian is onstage
Pisstaking for a wage
The critics think he's great
But the laughter turns to hate
Mickey Mouse is on TV
And the kids stare at the screen
But the pictures are all black and white
And the words don't mean a thing
Cos Mummy's got no money
And Daddy is in jail
He couldn't afford the license
She can't afford the bail
The kids out in the road
Their minds have all gone cold
Cos Mickey Mouse is dead
They shot him through the head
With ignorance and scorn
They believed in something new
They read the papers, watched the films
And thought they knew the truth
Look what you done to Mickey Mouse
But reality deceives
Whatever you believe
There's always another idea
And theirs is based on fear
The fear of being sussed
For what they really are
The fear of being laughed at
When they go too far
They call it paranoia
You can't laugh it away
Until you come to realize
Everyone's the same
People hide their problems
Under faces of contempt
They hide 'em, till it kills 'em
And no one is exempt
Not even you
Look what you done to Mickey Mouse

Sid
01:59
|
|
||
Listen to some music on the headphones
Maybe some Pistols, maybe some Drones
On the TV it says Sid is dead
I can't believe my ears there's a buzzing in my head
He won't go to heaven he won't go to hell
Cos hell is here in a prison cell
They locked him away when Nancy died
Never thought it was suicide
Hated by many loved by the press
Got on the front page just making a mess
Didn't wanna grow old and never did
He created the image Vicious Sid
He took the system and spat it out
Slashed his chest and fucked about
Knew what to do but couldn't care why
Now can you hear his mother cry?
Sid-Sid-Sid-Sid-Vicious!

Peroxide girl with a false ID
Lost and lonely she can t see
Peroxide hair and burnt out eyes
Blinded by so many lies
[Chorus]
Peroxide! Peroxide!
Because nobody cares
What do you do?
You dye your hair
Her hair was just a boring mess
She had never known success
Saw the punks they didn't care
Walked around with peroxide hair
[Chorus]
Now she s out of trouble cos her hair is white
And the punks all think she's all right
But she is blind her face is red
Peroxide soaked into her head

Working class hero? No such thing
Put on your Martens. you still can't sing
No organised class, it's out of control
Your mates are so young, you feel so old
No new religion follow yourself
Plastic fashions lined up on a shelf
The shop has closed down it's a supermarket pose
Wander back home and change all your clothes
No price tag on the cost of shit
Shit is free they got plenty of it
Conveyor belt message to the ignorant youth
This is free shit it's better than truth
Don't quote German freaks at me
It's all crap that's my philosophy
Shit class structure fuck TV
Looks like I gotta die if I wanna be free
Pessimist! Nihilist! Optimist! You don't exist
It's all in your dreams
Can't you hear the screams?

My brain is all fucked up
And I don't really care
I can't take no more drink
I'm gonna pour it on my hair
Fill my lungs with smoke
Fill my head with dreams
Violent paranoia
Nothing's what it seems
chorus:
Leave me alone I wanna get stoned
Dunno what I'm thinking gonna die drinking
Cut myself about
And no-one understands
They think I'm going crazy
It's getting out of hand
Getting so fucked up
Getting so pissed
Cos I know when I'm dead
I won't be missed
chorus
I threw the bottles about
Now look what I've done
I've smashed in a police car
Oh the joys of having fun!
The bastards know whodunnit
I'm the only one who's drunk
Running down the street
To the cries of 'Get that punk!'
chorus
