refugee 01:40

Oh, you start so fast, rowing down a river.. And you end up slow, your body tagged a refugee.. Floating out to sea.. Oh, you start so fast, rowing down a river.. And you end up slow, your body floating out to sea..

sapient 02:16
lyrics
buy track
Well disguised, we think we're civilised, screams and cries from the poisoned and the fucked.. Pretend to care, we think we're really there, more to share, so let's start another war.. Sapient. So fuckin' sapient. Sapient. How is this sapient? End of days, your pretentious displays, a heat haze, from the clever and the sick.. It's called 'progress', but let's not digress, a landfill mess to put our achievements in.. Intelligent. Are you sure it's meant? your head is for rent, by the mentally ill.. Culture shock; Vote for a cock! Boats to rock, or we'll be sailing off the edge.. Sapient. So fuckin' sapient. Sapient. How is this sapient? Who's the boss? Who really gives a toss? It's just hives of paranoia, that buzz with fear of loss.. We won't be missed, when the last kiss has been kissed; Asking greedy favours, from things that don't exist.. Sapient. So fuckin' sapient. Sapient. How is this sapient? Asking greedy favours, from things that don't exist.. Asking greedy favours, from things that don't exist.. Asking greedy favours, from things that don't exist.. Asking greedy favours, from things that don't exist.. Sapient. So sapient. Sapient. How is this sapient? Sapient. So sapient. Sapient. How is this sapient?

seaside 02:34
lyrics
buy track
Seaside, seaside. Seaside, seaside.. Watching other people, swimming in the sea. Cover my legs, so you can't see the real me. Dependent on carers, pushing me around, But they don't really care, it's the only job they found. I'd rather stay at home, and plug myself in; Listen to the racket, drowning out the din.. They call it 'caring', But i call it a farce; Lick your lips while you wipe my arse.. Sitting there, waiting for a trip to the seaside.. Seaside, seaside. Seaside, seaside.. Watching other drivers, queuing on the road, Cover your eyes, so you can't see me explode! Dependent on a system, that pushes me around, Couldn't give a fuck, they just want me on the ground. I'd rather build a home, in a forest, by a stream, Listen to the birds, drowning out your dream. Call it 'civilisation'? But I call it a farce, Pucker your lips, and you can kiss my arse.. Sitting there, waiting for a trip to the seaside.. Seaside, seaside. Seaside, seaside..

roadkill 01:00
lyrics
buy track
Beautiful eyes, squashed in the road, Creatures of love, crushed into the dust, And you couldn't care less, as you roll over its head.. Followed by clouds of crows, watching what you do, What you leave behind and what you're passing through.. This is what you think of this world, And this is what you think of your world.. And this is what your children see everyday, And this is what your children make of you, And this is what your children think is ok.. Do you see their beautiful eyes fading away? Roadkill. Crushed into the dust. Beautiful eyes, fading away.. Roadkill, crushed into the dust. They are your roadkill, fading away..

lyrics

When you fuck up the beauty and piss on its grave.. Exchange your freedom, for life as a slave.. Living in fear, you call yourself brave.. Pretend you're not part, of an infinite wave.. Pretend you're not part, of an infinite wave.. There are no words.. There are no words.. There are no words.. There are no words..

if you knew what you were doing you'd be doing something else 04:08
lyrics
buy track
And if you knew what you were doing you'd be doing something else.. Why d'ya need authority to tell you what to do? How to live your life in the confines of their zoo? They practise people-farming on your children and your kin. You don't find this alarming? You don't find this a 'sin'? Yeah, they do it with a smile, so all is well and good. Thoughts all made of plastic, but made to look like wood. Fly a flag of 'anarchy', but wear a suit and tie; In a watered-down reality, you drink because you cry. You drink because you cry.. You only drink because you cry.. Why is truth an enemy of the state? What kind of state are we in, anyway? Why is truth an enemy of the state? What kind of state are we in, anyway?

already dead 02:38
lyrics
buy track
You're already dead Thinking you're alive is the first mistake, Your eyes may be open, but you're not awake, Absorbing corruption, soaking up the shit. Civilisation? This sure as fuck ain't it! You're already dead Try being a carer, and see how much they care, Stand around clapping, as they count the lion's share. This protection racket, you call 'society', is a game to the rich, and the pawns are you and me.. You're already dead Conditioned to a 'culture', whatever that may be, None have understanding, none see reality. Ideas of the greedy; Morals of the fake; Wisdom from wankers, leaving poison in their wake.. You're already dead You're already dead..

squeeze u 02:18

Squeeze you from the bottom, They squeeze you from the top. Squeeze you and they squeeze you, And squeeze you 'till you pop.. Squeeze you from the bottom, Squeeze you from the top. Squeeze you and they squeeze you; They want every last drop.. They want every last drop.. Every last drop..

only god can save the king 00:48
lyrics
buy track
The throne of appreciation buzzes with anticipation, Write another dissertation, waiting at an empty station, Strains of a waiting nation, bloated out with constipation, Fuck this conservation, only god can save the king.. Anarchy, a lady waiting; black and white go badger-baiting, Locks and chains are master-baiting, 99% are hating, Give the kid an adult rating, Smile without the silver plating, Fairytales are grating, only god can save the king.. If only god existed, we wouldn't be so twisted, Kings would all be fisted, and we might all be free! We might all be free! We might all be free!

looks like water, tastes like piss 02:32
lyrics
buy track
The whole fabric of society is only held together by sticky-back plastic. And this is what happens in a wholly pretentious world, where anything is acceptable as long as it isn't truth.. Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Politics, Religion, Humanity, Capitalism, Socialism, Authoritarianism, Civilisation, Sapience, Intelligence, Government, Science, Land ownership! Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Philosophy, Psychology, Language, Water, Water, Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Mathematics, Charity, Tolerance, Humility, Music! Understanding, Mysticism, Wisdom, American lager! Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Looks like water, tastes like piss.. Looks like water, tastes like piss..

nettle-patch 03:33
lyrics
buy track
You were born into a nettle-patch of falsity; you'll be stung many times on your journey outward to the land of truth.. One of my greatest achievements is to convince people that i never do anything exciting, as I hurtle through infinite space, to the depths of its consciousness..

essential aspect 02:30
lyrics

Everyone is a closet anarchist, 'cos everyone is born as an anarchist.. Greed creates a barrier to civility. Craving control over others is madness. Capitalism is a form of suicide. Rebellion; essential aspect of progress.. Rebellion; essential aspect of progress.. Rebellion; essential aspect of progress..

nothing but violence 02:25
lyrics
buy track
It's such a beautiful world, you just use it for kicks, Tearing and burning, without ever learning.. A stab in the face; poke out the eyes, Slice off the ears, so you can't hear the cries.. You think you're getting away, getting away with it; this self-mutilation, but I have a question.. Why can't you see that you're part of me? For I am the world that you can't live without.. You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You've got nothing but violence, a-nothing but violence.. So now you're turning blind eyes to your own burning skies, Reflection of kind, from you whores of the mind.. Divided you drool, over every new rule, Killing and raping; political vaping.. You think you're getting away, getting away with it; this self-mutilation, but I have a question.. Why can't you see that you're part of me? For I am the world that you can't live without.. You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You've got nothing but violence, a-nothing but violence.. You think you're getting away, getting away with it; this self-mutilation, but I have a question.. Why can't you see that you're part of me? For I am the world that you can't live without.. You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You fuckers tear out my heart You've got nothing but violence, a-nothing but violence..
