Palestine

(by Myles)

No peace, no peace

When rockets and rocks are met

With disproportionate force

No love, no love

Between neighbours divided by apartheid walls

Road maps to peace that only lead to war

A people’s desperate pleas that are just ignored

No access to healthcare, no food in the shops

No clean water or electricity, no chance of a job

The country you love dragged into poverty

Fight your way through checkpoints just to see your family

Brutalise a nation until they take up arms

Then massacre their people, annex their best land

Billion dollar army, protecting West Bank settlers

Bulldozes family homes, then asks “why do they hate us?”

Isolated fragments don’t make a viable nation

Peaceful co-existence isn’t built on retaliation

Your homeland ripped apart, communities torn in two

How do you think you’d feel if this were happening to you?

No-one would agree to this

Election results that aren’t worth shit

Detention without trial and torture

As they tighten their grip they make things worse

No-one would agree to this

No option left but to resist

Repercussions (mp3)

(by Myles/Badger)

The end is coming before too long

When corporations think they’re gods

With magic beans and miracles

And empty promises to save the world

Fuck you Bayer, fuck Monsanto

No-one wants this, No GMO

No containment when the wind blows

Insects know no exclusion zones

It’ll be too late come tomorrow

In a poisoned world only profits grow

Another bid for life controlled

B.A.S.F, Monsanto

own earth and seed, breed a false need

Market-enforced dependency

Corporate gamble, all our lives

Flood the land with pesticide

As agricultures colonise…

‘Developing’ nations force-fed first

G.M invasion of the world

Trash the crops! Their march slowed

Sabotage, the tool we know

Worked before, make it work now

In the fields or in their labs

Grains of hope or seeds of destruction?

Their repercussions are unknown

Eat what’s in season, keep it local

Go organic, grow your own

It’ll be too late come tomorrow

In a poisoned world only profits grow

Burnt Out (mp3)

(by Myles)

Nothing will change unless I do it

You say you want it too but you do nothing

Feels there’s something I am lacking

If I just sit here it won’t happen

Empty words aren’t commitments

I kept trying, you lot didn’t

I’ll do something that will help all of us

But I step forward and no-one follows

If I am haunted by self-doubt

I do nothing ’cause I’m burnt out

Black Metal

(by Myles)

It’s bullshit, it’s bullshit you’re still just a racist

Worship Satan? Well that doesn’t change things

You’re a fascist, I’ve heard it before

Disguise it, you disguise it behind pagan imagery

A reference to pre-Christian history

A time when your bloodlines were pure?

Same old easy scapegoats

A new set of lies

Same old bogus theories

That cowards hide behind

But these things really matter

When you step outside

Of your stupid little clique

Into real fucking life

Rebellion? It’s not rebellion, you’re not even trying

You’re not ubermensch and you’re not a Viking

You’re just a kid with a chip on his shoulder

Insecurity, your insecurity, that’s where the hate’s from

Don’t fit in but you want to be someone

So you fear anyone different from you

Why can’t you see you’re not rebelling against anything

You haven’t got me thinking

You haven’t made me question

Haven’t challenged my beliefs

It’s a point that’s not worth making

Your childish fucking rebellion

Is easy but misdirected

Because the ones you hurt the most

Are the ones who need protection

Blueprint

(by Badger)

One great concentration camp of history

Exploitation from sustenance

Characteristic exploitation, European workers and Native Americans

Enclosures robbing autonomy

And the bloody fist of Christianity

Capitalism became entrenched, it’s reach immense

New World as Old, refine, repress

Entomb in mines, land conquest

While woman burns as the Witch

Devalued Earth, existence to work

Same structures of discipline rolled out each way we turn

Body image transformed by mechanical dreams

Leads to our scarred legacy of class misery

Blueprint for genocide

Death by 1,000 Cuts

(by Myles)

Another day, another compromise
Another part of you dies inside – you’re dead inside
Another thing you swore would never change
Another dream you held starts to fade

Another cut that you never felt
And now you’re just like everybody else

Another line in the sand against the sea
Washed away with your individuality
Another part of you that you denied
So you didn’t get left outside

“You can’t change the world”, so you change yourself
Until in your heart there’s nothing left

I don’t know you now but I knew you then
Before the things you said we’re forgotten

Crisis After Crisis

(by Badger)

Collapse – what did you expect?

Speculative markets, hinging on debt,

Close their ranks – the State does the rest

Biggest boats bailed, the rest are shipwrecked

Crisis after crisis

But they still protect their privilege

The elites attacks on the workforce

Another excuse for more control of us all

History repeats – welfare cuts as “reform”

And Nationalist propaganda dividing and ruling the poor

Privilege

Hand-in-hand bosses, bailiffs and police

We’re not tricked – this mess can’t be fixed

By solutions that profit the same capitalists

It’s the rich, rich, we’ve got to get rid of the rich…

Buy Bye (mp3)

(by Andy)

Living in a world of anxiety
A society of insecurities
Past certainties all long gone
God is dead, now miraculously reborn
The world is a media stage
The new world order, post-communist age
The banner of capitalism proudly unfurled
Plastic people in a plastic world

Busy dancing on the spot
Never quite happy with what you’ve got
There’s always something new to buy
But you can’t buy happiness how ever hard you try

It’s fashionable, so brand yourself
Sweatshop goods fill the shelves
Walking commercials for the corporate cause
Where profit’s involved, there’s no sanity clause
Identity commodified and put on sale
Buy your way into the fairy tale
Happiness bought but at what cost?
A dying planet, a paradise lost

Needs identified, insecurities tapped
Adverts re-enforce a sense of lack
It’s a market of supply and demand
New markets are carefully planned
Choose between what’s offered to you
The illusion of freedom sticks like glue
Dazzled by neon flashing lights
The future almost looks quite bright…

Nothing Left (mp3)

(by Myles)

A future without any oil
A future of constant war
It’s time for you to face the truth
But you don’t want to

A global funeral pyre,
Millions gonna die
What about my right to fly? It’s gone
Tough shit fuck you

No oil, no oil left
No forests, no forests left
No coal, no coal left
Nothing, there’ll be nothing left

No land, no food, no people
Nothing left
Nothing left at all

You’ll burn it til there’s nothing left at all

A world that’s getting hotter
A world that’s under water
Don’t like it, but you got to act
It’s down to you

What don’t you understand?
This life can’t be sustained
Things have got to change right now
Or else we’re through

Oh Really? (mp3)

(by Andy)

So you’re so free from all their laws
Yet still play at small-scale wars
Collateral damage is what you cause
Friendly fire without pause

Targets outside yourself so easy to fight
Distractions from everyday life
But until you’re honest with yourself
Face your demons and start with yourself

Bang on about the way things should be
Don’t see how you’re oppressing me
Spouting the politics of freedom
While building a wall of divisions

You have no right to preach to me about how to be free
You have no right to preach to me about liberty
You have no right to preach to me about anarchy

Your black and white reality
Easy targets and enemies
You’re blinded by your cause
Critical faculties are out sourced

The Shadow Cast (mp3)

(by Myles)

There’s a shadow cast across,
All of our lives, all of our hopes
And it hides what lies beyond:
The few in the sun, the few in the sun

Politics is the shadow cast
Across us all by big business

It seems so few of us know
We built it all, just not as we chose
And whatever we make can be unmade
It’s never too late, it’s never too late

Robots (mp3)

(by Andy)

Robots, obeying every law

Robots, soldiers fighting wars

Robots, capitalists getting rich

Robots, consumers helping them exist

Robots, clergy preaching their beliefs

Robots, media’s version of the truth

Robots, in alternative clothes

Robots, acting out a pose

Programmed to conform

Not to stray from the norm

Believing all they’ve been taught

Refuse to see they’re being bought

Human Scum (mp3)

(by Andy)

Human scum your time will come
The legacy you leave is diseased
Human scum your time will come
You’ll be dying on your knees

The obscenity of reality
The insanity of normality

In all your decadence you will die
