Government Policies
02:05
|

|
Cheap labour in disguise
Youth opportunities, government lies
Keeps young kids off the dole
Future sealed or so they're told
Government policies cause of recession
Government policies too much aggression
Government policies working class enemy
Government policies a change there's gotta be
Time was when work was there
For old and young alike to share
Now Maggie's in and things are bad
Three million tells a story sad

Too Much Talking
02:21
|
|||
|
Why do you blame youth for what's happening today
Who got us in this mess anyway
Does it make you feel better to pass the blame
Of course it does because your all the same
Too much talking to get no results
Too much talking always looking for faults
Too much talking that's what you do
And that's why we've got no faith in you
What do you expect when you give us nothing
We've got no incentive for whatever we're doing
You won't even listen to what we're trying to say
Instead you give more orders because that's your only way

Colchester Council
02:07
|
|||
|
Nothing for young people in Colchester
There's nothing for them to do
So don't blame the kids for everything
'Cos a lot of it's down to you
Colchester Council full of shit
The Council Committees in Colchester
Are not interested in youth
They too busy thinking about what's in it for them
They don't give two fucks about you
They know there's no jobs in Colchester
But they won't start to fret
Until they find themselves out of work
They don't care about what you get

Rise And Fight
02:16
|
|||
|
We're told to shut up, sit down and obey
To them it is the only way
We're nothing at all that's what they think
A revolution is on the brink
Our time will come and soon they'll see
In the papers and on TV
The kids of today just won't allow
What's going on so change things now
And rise and fight for what is right

Violent Youth
01:21
|
|||
|
You go town on a Saturday night
You just ain't happy till you've been in a fight
You have too many, get out of your head
You don't know why but you wanna see red
VI..I..I..OLENT YOUTH
Who you looking at that's my bird
How many times has that been heard
Excuse for trouble, excuse for a fight
Happens all the time, every night

Distorted Truth
01:49
|
|||
|
We're told what's going on in a roundabout way
We take in everything they have to say
We've got to believe 'cos there's less complications
Knowing what's wrong so we can accept dictations
Distorted truth on the TV
It's for the good of you and me
Distorted truth turn a blind eye
On what you believe , it's do and don't die
Do you believe what you read in the papers
Journalistic distortions and evil red papers
No place for us in this dishonest system
Do what we're told ,don't have to listen

Britain In 81
02:14
|
|||
|
Look out of your window in the middle of the night
But don't go outside or you'll die of fright
Make sure to stay inside when it's dark
Don't risk the price of a nasty scar
This is Britain in '81
Eight year old kid from a broken home
He never knew his father, his mother's on the dole
What kind of future has society for him
He'll rebel against the system like another victim
Black man, white man out of work
They can't live together, treat each other like dirt
Foreign propaganda say's we're in a state
I hope they drop the bomb before it's too late

It Ain't Our Fault
01:35
|
|||
|
It ain't our fault so don't blame us
There's nothing to do so what's all the fuss
We've got no money, we've got no say
The lack of choice keeps us at bay
It ain't our fault
So you've heard it all before well I don't care
I'll keep on shouting till you swear
That one day soon there'll be a change
It ain't much to ask so open the cage
A town so big with nothing to do
Full of young people in a queue
To nowhere, Boredom, nothing at all
Not even a home town music hall
|

Depression
02:53
|
|||
|
Sitting at home with nothing to do
Feeling part of a human zoo
Got no future,nothing for me
I wanna go out but I ain't got no money
Depression! it's all around me
I'm in the pub with a beer
Closing time is getting near
Nothing to do at closing time
Is having fun some kind of crime

Violent Society
02:09
|
|||
|
Don't wanna be a part of society
Don't wanna waste my life away
I don't need no learned politics
'Cos I live from day to day...in a
Violent Society
Is this the way it's meant to be
Violent Society
A brighter future I can't see
I'm told I shouldn't shout my mouth off
I'm told to watch just what I say
But what kind of life is this I sak
If I can't live it my own way...in a

They Don't Care About Me
02:14
|
|||
|
Five days a week in a factory
I can't take anymore it just ain't me
They say I'm lucky 'cos I've got a job
But I'm no better than the dole queue mob
And still they don't care about me
Yet I'm not earning no free money
And I don't get no press sympathy
But I won't take no charity
I go to bed late every night
I have to get up early it just ain't right
I've gotta be at work by 8am
For another eight hours of us and them

Delayed Reaction
01:42
|
|||
|
Should have been there before the war
250 killed but they don't know what for
A great British victory yes I agree
But what a price to pay, oh can't you see
Oh, Oh, Oh, delayed Reaction
Oh, Oh, Oh, all talk no action
Visions of 1939
Under the rule of the Argentine
Falkland Islanders held in fear
The fascist threat was always near

Rondolet Control
01:31
|
|||
|
Getting left behind but they can't see
All they want is money
They don't tell us what's going on
We're know we're making them a fucking bomb
Rondolet control, Rondolet control
Pick up 'Sounds' what do I see
Badges and T-shirts of Special Duties
Do you think we had a say
No no no no no no way

Judge And Jury
02:04
|
|||
|
Justice? There ain't no fucking justice!
They're out of touch and incompetent
And they don't know what the people want
Voting on behalf of you and me
Waving two fingers at democracy
Judge and jury is what they are (judge and jury, judge and jury)
This time they have gone too far (judge and jury, judge and jury)
Public opinion does not count (judge and jury, judge and jury)
They've got guns for sale with a cash discount
How many more times must we see
Massacred innocents on tv
An amnesty is not enough
So don't try and tell me that it costs too much
Parents and children are living in fear
Of a sick society that sheds no tears
A real justice system can not be found

Police State
01:08
|

You're living in a police state
Unfair justice, laws out of date
They don't care what you say
They take your money, they make you pay...in a
Police state [x4]
We're living in a .........

Bullshit Crass
02:28

|
Fight Crass not punk
Fight Crass not punk
Fight Crass not punk
Fight Crass not punk
Anarchy and peace promote the crass
it ain't for freedom it's just for cash
they don't mean what they say
What they preach there is no way
Bullshit Crass you've been detected
Duties have your shit rejected
Bullshit Crass You've been detected
Bullshit Crass You've been detected
we'll free the punks that you've injected
Bullshit Crass You've been detected
Crass were first to say punk is dead
Now they're rightly labelled as being red
Commune Hippies That's what they are
They've got no money Ha! Ha! Ha!
