We’re fucked

V1
Fighting over poppies it’s the same shit every year
A fucking bit of paper that you hold so fucking dear
Together with your bacon and your pint and daily mail And your fucking knights Templar and your fucking holy grail
Fighting all the time fighting every fucking day
any excuse for you to have your fucking way
No one ever learns and nothing’s gonna change
Going round in circles cos we’re fucked up and deranged
V2
We’re living in the times of peadophile crimes
Fucked up agendas and words between the lines
Hating on each other for the slightest little thing
Washing our hands with the blood it always brings
There’s one rule for the rich while the rest of us conform
Recycled thoughts and teachings ,have become the daily norm
Dare to stand alone and you’ll soon fall on your arse
You’ve got to know your place your rules you gotta know your class
V3
Digging in the ground for a little more oil
Fuck the ecosystem let's contaminate the soil
A little bit of profit before the future of us all
Well money in the bank can’t save us from the fall
Plastic in the ocean in the gut of every fish
A bit of polystyrene makes a pretty tasty dish
Hormones in your cornflakes and horse meat on your chips
But I’ve yet to meet a person that really gives a shit
V4
Nazis in the White House policemen in your schools
To keep a close eye on those lower class fools
Report your mum and dad if they smoke a bit of weed
Turn your back on everyone to satisfy your greed
When’s the last time you did a good fucking deed
Extended a hand to someone in need
When the last time you thought of someone but yourself
It doesn’t take em much to help us kill ourselves
We’re Fucked we’re fucked
No matter what you say if they get their way they’ll shoot us in the head and we’ll all be dead we’re Fucked

Repent

V1
Two weeks is all it takes to create or make a fake for the sake of health and hate
14 days to erase the ways of a lifetime
the life line cut free
you see it’s me not we, where insanity is key
A familiar place with the same old face hidden far beneath the skin
the sin bringing forth the self-centred ways
As the days roll past the essence holds fast slowly becoming that monstrous past
c: repent reject deselect that choice that inner voice the voice of the dark the blackened hole
The loss of control
The death of the soul
The loss of control
V2
The chemical mix of the addicted and sick where the trick is to abstain from the sane
the shame causes pain in the familiar way that stayed beneath the surface until that day
Where everything changed
Well change can be arranged but not the same for the deranged to maintain is to abstain from the chemically insane
The subterfuge once used a definition of you , the tales come easy once you know what to do
C)
V3
Being not one to goad but to continue on this road to a destructive space where I wear a different face reflecting a dark and ominous place
The animal inside that hides and bides it’s time outwardly fine
in truth walking the line waiting for a sign a sign of the times
a time full of crimes ignoring the cries and sighs from the eyes of those who care
Who’ve always been there
C)
V4
Like him the sin of the father or rather the mother the smother the beast of them all
So again you fall with no one to catch so you hatch your plan to be the man you despise
the god of lies the lord of the flies the devil in disguise
Disguised as myself the ego the Id to keep the lid on the boiling pot
which is still boiling hot just waiting to spill
to fill my boots with the evil that men do,like me like you
Years of restraint without a single complaint, compliant or defiant like a good hairless ape a heartless trait a spiritual rape my spirit has left and left a darker face
C)
Repent reject , deselect that choice that inner voice the voice of the dark the blackened hole
The loss of control
The death of the soul
The loss of control

What's the point?
04:33
|
|||
What's the fucking point, it doesn't matter anyway
Sign their petition and just Maybe they’ll listen although their ears fall deaf on anything that doesn’t make them a quick buck so your out of luck if you think they give a fuck
You’ll be struck off their list pissed out like a kidney stone all alone until all you can do is groan and moan or complain on social media via your phone the empty victories their sordid histories you've long since known.
Due process they say when we all know it only works one way a
farcical system to keep you feeling secure or slicker when in fact your sicker just like the system they supposedly represent,
The present descent into their insidious intent just like the last farce, the past nasties from all those parties, the last chance to become something smarter, no martyr for the cause, no heart for the fools the rules are clear but they're unwilling to hear.
So here we go, another short moment of torment, a dormant urge to purge all learned ways, counting the days the haze begins to clear and the hope turn into fear that sears deep into the soul , like mind control only deeper into existence
, resistance is noble desist with the puerile all efforts are futile
Choice is illusion delusional dreams seeming real healing all setting you up for the fall, for all to see that they too know there place.
Give what you are given and then throw it to the smitten, the sycophantic non descript pieces of shit, the hypocrites, the outdated, narrow minded lead by so called example holier than thou robots or clones with their phoney agendas, with their secret members, archaic rituals and feather fucking dusters it must be a joke a game they play only were all in it but not to win cos there's no prize when your eyes can't decide whether the lies are reality or reality is the lie

This town

Verse1
29 years and I’m tired of this place
And I know every face and the lives that they waste
And I’ve seen people try and I’ve watched their hopes die
And their streets fall apart and their livelihoods fry
C) Why can’t this place just let me go
Verse 2
I’ve watched pretty towns move steadily down
Once greeted with smiles now just a frown
Community spirit once given with love
now just a haven for thugs and their drugs
C) Why can’t this place just let me go x2
Verse 3
The pigs are short staffed and the council ain’t there
Preferring new Phones to community care
nice housing estates now falling apart
Council tax spent on pointless street art
Why can’t this place just let me go
Verse 4
Jobs have died out and zero h rules
Agency work where they treat you like fools
Desperate faces in every shop door
90% of them begging to score
C) Why can’t this place just let me go x2
Verse 5
One face I knew a hardworking guy
Now sleeping by Tesco’s just waiting to die
His world in a trolley he takes every where
His dignity crushed as I watch people stare
C) Why can’t this place just let me go
Verse 6
It's hard to fit in and it’s hard to make friends
once an outsider outside till the end
I’ve been far from perfect I’ve lied and deceived
So maybe it’s karma that won’t let me leave
C) Why can’t this place just let me go x2

Fit in like a sin
04:48
|
|||
Fit in like a sin that wasn’t for me, it didn’t make me free or see a better reality,Maybe just the subject of hate and envy and misplaced petty rivalry Fit in like a sin that wasn’t for me Didn’t make me free or see a better reality
Just making the same mistakes all over again
P
You see, to feel free is a concept or a dream ,
a scene from nightmarish scream,you gotta mean what you believe, not deceive to receive. your like minded echo call, the fall of you all.
P
The rule for the fools to school their unreasonable way of being . Well seeing is for the blind where the one eyed man is king, and things seem to ring true .When really what they do is without a clue, or care for you
P
hide truth like a toothless crackhead, the living dead , the lying head of things left unsaid
the feet of lead in the red ocean of dread
C
My train of thought like a mental assault giving me reason to feel distraught, like I ought to be naughty but felt past it at forty my mind feeling faulty my body distorted
P
Believing I belonged to those now my enemy or frenemy they say,but it’s just a way to play with words,the meanings the same left out for the birds and the worms that turn at every opportunity
P
they see it’s them not we that don’t want unity
They move the goals every time I’m near
instilling a fear far beyond reasonable doubt
do I fight it out, or shout falling out with those around that I surround myself With
C
The Freeks and the cliques that offer their mystique for those who seek things a little unique
So called Original, individual, in the middle of it all
waiting to fall to be free from it all
P
The stories that bore me the sores that plague me those that act like a baby well maybe they’ll save me or Will they save themselves, save it for someone else their own personal hell left dead on the shelf
P
Where health and mind are so intertwined
with the crimes and whines of the seeing and the blind .We’ll fool me once and shame on me but try and try again to fool twice to fool three
P
Well now I can see the techniques they employ
to divert the hoi polloi from the real and the just
We’re all just dust or aging with rust in a scene so obscene with no one to trust
C

Stuck in the loop again
02:26

Verse 1&3
Back to square one let’s start it again
the psycho cycle the mice and the men
Don't mention the mental
they'll vent all your fears
and your tears that you've nurtured for months or for years
And years of baggage you manage to keep
from seeking the elusive the prize of the meek
From the streets of the sleek
you too quickly peak
becoming so pretty so petty so chic
Chorus
Back in the loop
the moebius strip you trip with conflict inflicting your grip
on the weak
on the fools
on the lawless with rules
so you school and drool and you slobber and puke
a fluke just a ruse that proves not a thing
Not a jot
not a fuck so you bargain with luck
to keep out of the muck and the mire and the shit
Verse 2
Still toxic as ever not clever or cool
just fools with their duels and irrelevant tools
absurd and deferred from anything real
from things that you feel or lives that they steal
And take and forsake and kill and create
debate their last take on your future and fate
Well fate is for losers for fairy tail dreams
not real not concrete despite how it seems
Chorus 2
the seams wearing thin the soles hanging off
the soul turning black the psyche attacks
With tact you detract and react as you crack
As it's hard to be straight with their knife in your back
Stuck deep like a key on a clockwork man or a tin of spam like a man with no plan for himself or the damned
Stuck in the loop again

Pay to play
03:21

Hai provato a lucrare sui miei sogni di rivolta
E poi a spegnermi la rabbia con promesse a pagamento
Ma resto mio e ora sputo sulla tua fama di plastica
E spazzo via deciso quella sensazione di impotenza
Cui ci hai costretto col tuo nuovo modello
I tuoi soldi il tuo dio malato ed un nuovo imperativo
Forse non resterà niente di quello che sono adesso
Sparirò quando sarai riuscito a mettermi a tacere
Ma in questo tempo malato resto vivo
Pronto a rituffarmi nel buio della mia condizione
Precarietà, promesse, la vita è un vicolo cieco
E noi ci apriremo un varco grideremo più forte
You tried to make money on my dreams of revolt
And then to extinguish the anger with promises to payment
But I remain mine and now I spit on your plastic fame
And that feeling of impotence swept away
Whose you forced us with your new model
Your money your sick god and a new imperative
Perhaps nothing will remain of what I am now
I will disappear when you have managed to silence me
But in this sick time I stay alive
Ready to plunge into the darkness of my condition
Precariousness, promises, life is a dead end
And we will open a way to shout louder
I don’t wanna make a dea,l you know how I feel
I am here to say , that I don’t wanna pay to play

There goes another failed rock god for you to mourn over another for you to claim you’ve always loved when even your partner never heard you mention them once
You only seem to care when it's someone famous who's died
You’ve always liked them you say you play their music every day well it’s news to me you see I think your full of shit like all the other hypocrites who thrive on celebrity death yet fall silent when a stranger draws their last breath
You only seem to care when it's someone famous who's died
Heartfelt messages on social media followed by tributes .. as if anyone connected to the dead star will see your shit or in fact that you’re shit
You only seem to care when it's someone famous who's died
So don’t bother, save it for your mother or someone other that believes your crap smother your lies disguise your hypocrisy with crocodile tears.
Every year it’s someone new who according to you you’ve always been in to
You only seem to care when it's someone famous who's died
Well I call bull you can’t pull my leg its all a part of the facade you try to project protecting the real you from scrutiny your duplicity shows Pretending to care for those you don’t know
You only seem to care when it's someone famous who's died
well it’s all a show for the folks you think deserve your respect well I reject your intellect and your sheep mentality your audacity is troubling doubling my hate towards your fake fate filled nonsense
You only seem to care when it's someone famous who's died
it makes no sense like your sordid innocence
A school yard mentality a popularity contest like all the other nonsense I thought I’d left behind as a child
The mourning this morning has you all at odds you only shed a tear at The death of the new gods
You only seem to care when it's someone famous who's died

See them after you ?
03:51
|
|||
See them after you, see them after you
I know that your a REBEL and they’ll never catch you but see them after you
Running with the devil so they’ll never take you
But see them after you
They been knocking on my door for the last fifteen days
Something about some debt I I should have long
ago paid
But if I had a fucking penny I wouldn’t be in this hole
Hiding in my flat sitting freezing in the cold
You can take my broken cooker and have my scabby wok
Even take my dirty mattress as it’s all I fucking got
I’m down to bags of pasta and a little bit of bread
Electrics almost gone and their getting in my head
It’s like we’re all just playing- a game of cat and mouse
Them still out there waiting- for me to leave my house
Do they think I’ve fucking got a magic money tree
That’s the only way they’ll get a penny out of me
they’ve got a court order to take away my things
To sell it all off cheap and use the cash its gonna bring
So they kick and break my door it’s seems this time they’ve won this round
But I laugh my fucking head off at the pile of shit they’ve found
So take my broken tv and my sofa and my bike
Take the fucking lot I don’t even give a shite
