@SONG: CONFLICT
Looking for an answer to end all the violence
But you'll find no solutions behind that white paper
Looking for a way to break down that fence
Do you really belive in this ludicrous caper?

Mountbatten Murdered - A rebel gunman's been shot dead
"They're all murdering bastards" - Or was that something that I read?
Well, whatever I read - It's just the fucking same
Death, destruction, violence and pain.

This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.
This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.

Where could it end? What could the outcome be?
One thing's for sure
They'll be alot more corpses before the government begin to see
A lot more screaming bullets. A lot more children dead
And a lot more 'Bloody Sundays' - all painted in red.

A lot more pointless talks
And a lot more death walks
A whole lot more of whose tribes should rule
The squaddie's on the corner. The gunman's on the roof
Who's the real terrorist? - Well don't look to th4e media for your proof.

This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.
This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.

The British Empire isn't what It used to be, mate
And It's a bit too late to try and make It great
So what's the point In fighting out there?
British Constitution on a lands fate!

The 'Wengill' computer sums it all up
It's just filled with reasons to cut people's lives up
Well, whatever, it's just the same
Death, destruction, violence and pain.

This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.
This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.

I see no point In deciding
Because I won't fight for troops In Ireland
And I won't shott no squadie dead
And I won't smash no bastards head
Because I don't wanna die
Do you wanna die? Do you wanna die? Do you wanna die?
Do you wanna die? Do you wanna die? Do you wanna die?
Do YOU want to die?

This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.
This side, that side. That side, this side
What side? any side. You can't side me.

@SONG: THE GUILT AND THE GLORY
Do you know that at least 70% of the human population of this planet starve
and many more do not get enough to eat? You must now be familiar with reports
of the famine In Ethiopia, where the weather has been so dry that crops fall,
where the people are so hungry they have to walk many miles to the nearest
relief station where there might be food If proplr have been generous.
In any one station at least 40 people a day die. totally shriveled.
They haven't the energy to brush away the flies that are waiting for THEIR
meal. These poeple are the victims of our western governments. In Britain
alone there are massive great food stores where surplus grain sits, In the
EEC there are food mountains, In Amrerica farmers are paid to destroy part of
their harvest, while big corporations plunder the 3rd world countries at the
expense of the natives. Why Is this - economics, the science of greed. that
which says people must pay western prices for their food. Natural starving
countries can't afford this especially when their government takes the best
fIrst. The western government have plenty of money. They tax us on our 
income, then they tax us on what we buy. They take the money we have worked 
for and use It to buy arms. They would rather be able to destroy the world
12 instead of 10 times over than transport surplus food to those who die.
Indeed, they become 111 through obesity. Must we tolerate these obscenities?
When soon even we may be starving because of their taxes.

Some people don't see the connections between big bussiness and destruction.
The biggest murderers are MacDonald's. Not only do they breed and slaughter
millions of cattle, great rain forests are pulled down to make way for 
grazing ground. This destroys hundreds of unique species each time not to
mention the fact that we need trees to produce oxygen for the planet.
Many birds In North America migrate to these forests, on arriving and finding
no forest they die. The drop In population of birds means~more insects and
the Americans only answer to this is pesticide. We all know about factories
who manufacture pesticide, you know about Union Carbide. They're an American
Company who set up dangerous plants. It doesn't matter, nearly 3,000 indians
are now dead due to their callousness, thousands have strokes and injuries
that will never heal. Innocent people who had done nothing, whose life is not
easy anyway, and why? So America can steal food from the starving millions.

Nearly all big bussiness, is based on explanation of the worst kinds. 
Cosmetic companies use dead animals to make their products, then poison many
more by feeding it to them with the end result of encouraging sexism by
convincing men and women to look the same as each other. Advertising promotes 
this and advertising of any kind usually portrays women as a sex object only,
there to be raped. Drug companies (like Roche & ICI) claim to Invent new
drugs to cure Imagined diseases. Thousands die ~t the hands of their useless
research. They try to make drugs to cure heart disease which was originally
caused by the sufferer eating meat and dairy products to excess.
Booker McConnell own everything from butchers to health shops, as long as
the cash rolls in who cares? Other companies who make machinery ~ domestic
appliances (like Thorn EMI.) also makes defense gadgetry. British Aerospace
specialize In fighters in favour of passenger jets. Governments pay more for
weaponry that domestic consumers pay for domestic items. That's why many many
comapnies world wide clamour for defense orders, some would go bankrupt 
without them. The final Industry, uranium mining, sponsored in Britain by RTZ
plunders the landscape, kills the wildlife,exploits the natives and gives them
cancer. The product makes bombs to kill all and 15 used for nuclear fuel.
The kind of power that produces waste which can be pumped Into the sea In
Cumbria. Deformed babies and children dying and leukemia are coincidences

@SONG: INCREASE THE PRESSURE
The second album full of same old songs. Fighting back against a system which
is cruel and wrong. Yet another battering ram against a wall of power. 
A blasphemous attack to blow the leaders cover. It's a message from those
won't take no more of seeing the privelaged profit from the poor, of the
scientists piss they call research, of being told we're scum and should be
birched.

Well bollocks to them all, keep smashing at the wall. Pile the pressure on
and Government will fall.

But It takes more than music and more than words to create a nation that's
controlled by hoards Or police,army and fuck knows what else, that they've got
waiting for the backlash from the people who care. To question their control,
their dividing lines, power must be tested, It's testing time.

Power must be tested, we've heard that time and time again but no matter how
much pain and protest, nothing seems to change, the Government show forces and
our movement cowers In fear, some still strive for freedom, while others
simply sneer!

It's the same old racket woth the same old songs, Well, its the same fucking
system and It still stands strong. The battle continues so bollocks to them,
who mock our anarchy then bow their heads again YOU try working, for
something that a system can't make, creating something that a law can't take
back. As a loss of privelage for stepping out of line, power ain't been
tested, so now's the time to fuck them up again.

@SONG: LAW & ORDER
No more law & order, that word says it all. It's Just one human being
denying another of self rule. The police ain't authority for all they do Is
serve the state, they do their dirty work to make the people learn, they
Interrigate, discriminate, smash demos and assault, they sort out all queers
and keep the wogs locked ina vault and they're here for protection but 
protection for who? They all wear that same badge that says FUCK YOU ALL

Oh yeah, they're here to maintain rights, they're here to keep the peace.
They've also got a right to lock up and not release any form of rebel.They'll
even work against their own, because they bribe them very well and they may
also get a home. Protect their privelage no matter what the cost, now you're
piggy in the middle and they couldn't give a toss. They shit back and laugh
yes they laugh at you too, because they also wear a badge that says we use
you!, It's Just the same old story of a state gone wrong, where possessions
matter and people don't be surprised that we've turned against you because if
you take their side, it's FUCK YOU TOO!

@SONG: FROM PROTEST TO RESISTANCE
No, there's no fucking way that anything's going to change, it depends on you
and you now!. We can protest till death, they won't listen, don't sit back
and think It will happen. They won't give up what they've robbed, stand up
and resist.
But the leaders have caught on, we see that they've prepared for civil war. 
wehile on our side we squabble about who does what and who sells more 
There's women with Just one reason, to fight for their equality forgetting
the system holds superiority.

First we've got to come together, so fuck the differences, It doesn't matter
If It's noise or music to them WE ALL talk piss. To them we're the sick farce
now let's prove them right. If we're to stand the slightest chance, we must
unite and fight, We must never give up, make sure our message ain't forgotten
that's If they won't fucking stop, then we're gonna fucking stop them!

@SONG: TOUGH SHIT MICKEY
Mother nature smiles and cracks a now days dawn, most people on the earth
are sleeping comfortable and warm, Out in the fileds and pastures, It's
another new day too, one without a war and hatred that Is known by me and
you. A shriek disturbs the peacefulness, the cat's Just killed a mouse, the
mother says with feeling as she looks out from the house.It's a breakfast time
the clock strikes nine, ham, bacon, one egg or two? What a shame about that
mouse, what's for tea tonight, lamb stew?

Well there's things to do, so the family divides in separate ways. Father
works to earn the keep, he's a butcher and well paid, the daughters Rø to
riding school, mother washes up the crap. One son plays with soldiers and
the other aggravates the cat. Back out in the fields, a different story Is
taking place, foxes cower with their clubs, to escape the human race.
Rabbit run for life, deer take cover in the trees
disbelief, then prepares the meat.

Think what you're doing, The system's set to ruin.
We've got to fucking stop.

Because before too long there'll be nothing left alive, not a creature on the
land or sea, a bird In the sky, they'll be shot, harpooned, easten or hunted
too much,vivisected by the clever men who prove that there's no such things as
a fair world with live and let die, the Royal family Bø hunting, what an
example to give! to the people they lead and they don't Include me. I've seen
enough pain and torture of those who can't speak, so I'm gonna speak for them
In an all out attack, and if someone tries to whip me, then I'll fucking whip
'em back. Coz I've had enough of the madness. In their theatres of hell,enough 
of them hounding the fox to the kill, or baby seals being clubbed, their
mothers cut up. They satisfy their greed, their wealths built on blood. Of
their slaughterhouse haunting the back of the mind, the gas chamber of farm
life, the end of the line.
It's a shame about that mouse!

@SONG: WHICHEVER WAY YOU WANT IT
There's aplace that's neatly tucked away beyond the other side
A place In which you'd never dream there would be a need to hide
For the building is surrounded by pastures pure and green  
The Image hides reality, and the distance kills the scream
That comes from inside is never exposed to be fair, for the place Is packed
with scientists who show how much they care
The guard stands bravely at the gates, guard dog by his side
The same breed of animal Is butchered Inside

What a fucking waste of money, what a fucking waste of time
What a waste of human knowledge, what a fucking way to die
Human freedom, animal rights, it's one struggle, one fight
There ain;t no fucking truth In the Inspectors files
As he walks down the death corridors, he covers his sighs with smiles
He sees the pain and agony but remembering his position
He's got his place, another face, but he just ain't paid to question
He thinks it's rather funny that he's earning loads of money
His eyes are forced aside as out comes another trolley
Another tray of corpses, more unlabeled, more unmentioned
It's no good asking why? Why? because they never fucking listen, so liberate

Animal testing to detect thalidomide
Torturing, killing, but there's loads more things to try
The suffering,the pain,that excruciating pain, it all goes over and over again
This fucking witchcraft won't solve anything, the same experiments,
OVER AND OVER AGAIN

@SONG: THE SERENADE IS DEAD
She wakes up In the morning, the sun Is shining in her face, turns her head
around, she sharss the blanket on which the love embraced, she look out of
the window, It's a lovely day outside, she tells herself that things are fine,
he pulls the sheets to cover his eyes. The essence of the fresh air, the
garden held the love affair, thinking back their minds are torn in muddle and
confusion, so far another sits, who tries to make the best of It, he don't
know quite what's hit him, It's another love illusion. he gazes in his empty
room eyes fixed upon her picture, the loneliness, dejectedness, god how the
fuck he's missed her, his eyes turn to the window, the military roar by, he
wonders how much hatred could evolve out of the sky, what god had done for
peace on earth, what man destroyed from day of birth, they are concerned with
feelings, just ashamed to cry and one mans plan to push the button makes 
others sacrifice the serenade Is dead and now the only questions why?
Why when we are young,we're told it's not right to love,told It's human nature
and that comes from god above, as time moves on we realize that we all look 
from the pit, while a plan just hangs above us, to keep us In the shit,
because the minute we are born, we're told what's right and wrong, raised with
certain morals, never mentioned In their songs, as we grow up we find out that
the paths been so neatly set,In a world of such destruction,we only can regret.
Regrest that Is the words of it, as we look for our way of it, why can't they
understand we don't want any part of it? The pain they create everyday, that
just ain't gonna go away, we've got to stick together but still you're asking
why? the system still stands strong, as our movement starts to crumble, the
pressure we once held, has just turned to a rumble, they've got us where they
want us, and you all just accept that well don't you think it's time, we
started to hit back. They are the enemy, they want a rops around your neck,
and If they will go that far, then what the fuck Is next? Forget the
revolution, we've heard It all before, heard all the promises, of 1984,
It's an Impossible task, "oh yes", It stands before us all, well maybe you'll
belive it when your backs against the...WALL.

@SONG: THE POSITIVE JUNK
The backlash has started, but we ain't fucking laughing, take a look at how 
much has changed, there ain't mush to smile about. We've done four years of 
begging and a lot longer struggling, well ain't it about time, we took back
what is ours.

Punk formed as a movemnet to set right what was wrong: the opposing side said
No. we're right, you're wrong. They controlled our bands with money and they 
all sucked off our sweat, well that's the fucking lesson we never must forget.

The time moved on and rebellion Just seemed to be a bore, as one by one the
leaders collapsed, the money bought the whore, time and time again we heard
new promises were made, but words was all it was, the action was delayed.
They tried to salvage something, but the mistake already done, with C.B.S. and
E.M.I. backing what went on. Those tears upon the stage, we heard they all 
came from the heart and if we all stood together, it would just be the start.
Well the start just never happened, as our hopes ran down the drain, now
take a good look, you'll see it's happening again, the punk movement once 
strong, once offering real change, is searching fame and fortune, and that 
just ain't the fucking way.

Punk is still our movement, we can put tight what is wrong by learning to say
No, we're right, you're wrong, fuck their fucking future it means oppression
war and hate its time to turn the tables around and recreate the state.

@SONG: THE SYSTEM MAINTAINS
Law & order, throughout the land, on which our future's already planned, to
serve the leaders quest for power, to remember our position, to respect that
shower, who decide the masses th rich v the poor, the left and the right,
they create civil war, This is forced upon us from birth until death, we've 
heard of freedom, but it Just don't exist Systematic force rules right
across the land, and if you don't want their future then you've got to make
A stand, everday we support the shower, the office boy, the dole girl, gets
taxed by the hour. There ain't no possession, no need for pride, you're
just a human being, so puch that shit aside Position and status Is the trick
they use on you and If you try to be yourself, they'll beat you black and
blue, divide and rule is their method of attack, a clever fucking trick to
hold the people back, fight one another and you fuck yourself fool, so If
you're looking for the answer then the answer is you.

@SONG: THIS IS NOT ENOUGH...
So much for the change, the re-arranging and politicians declared dead
So much for the troops forced out of Ireland, The PolIce abloished?
I read that things had gone too far and awareness had caused concern a~ the
top, but their backbone must not crack, so their city wil not stop.

We need a whole new ploy, direct our motives and anger, force what we see as
right but the system holds our banners. We need that whole new ploy, direct
our motives and anger, force what we know as right, make our feelings turn to
action Meanwhile, senile morons are shitting bricks cos they know the people
have learnt Just who's who and who funds what, It's time those bastards
tables burned. But It's all been said In another line. If I've sung It once
It's a thousand times, If we don't do it now we' re never gonna break free
from the oppression that makes us hate. Free from their law, their hypocrisy,
from the war that turns ourt sunny day grey, Or free all the animals locked
In a cage slowly going mad with fists of rage. it's time to overcome 1984,
forget that firytale, slam shut the door. It's time for reality, not false
hopes, It's time to show them whose the Joke. It's time to take. It's not too
late, so much for our change, our re-arranging. Politicians that ain't dead.
So much for their scum forced out of Ireland, THEY increased the pressure
Instead. If things had gone too far, then action will prove FATAL to their
props, yeah, that backbone might not break, but their city TEARS APART!!!

@SONG: NEITHER IS THIS
So Thatcher's slime escape again, more of the shit they make us take, still no
end to their sick reign. See Rayguns Army rule again four more years to kill
the sane, more of his napalm - neutron - hate and meanwhile Russia sits and
waits, prepares her perfect time to take. The seconds gone - ANNIHILATE!!
There's a bomb gone off in Harrods, yet another in Belfast, Well I say 
bollocs to her army, In fact - KISS MY ARSE. That arms aims for one thing, 
Inflicts misery and pian, well, for what you do to others you must expect the
same. In eastern countries people cry, In Northern Ireland, people die.
America and England bank their lives. Throughout the whole world people cry,
throughout the whole world people die. Worldwide leaders fuck our lives.
MURDER! you scream, well that's the way I look at things, but Is It right,
to gun down children cos they've gottheir own feelings? These monsters that
you title madden 'till insane. Well In my book your the bastard cos to
you It's just a game. Plunging deeper and deeper in to a sea of degredation,
still looking for our answers to stop ANNIHILATION THATCHER's BARMY ARM~
who Just sit upon the poor, KINNOCKS FUCKING PUPPETS for the people - FUCK
OFF! The Police the MArines, all chose to side with them. The S.A.S. - their
hitmen to break REBELLION, they all don't give two fucks for us so I've no
time for them. They can build their Berlin Walls but we will smash them down
again, They tear our fucking earth In half, expect us to slave for their
behalf, they're fucking living In the past, It was your bomb in Harrods and
they're your bombs in Belfast, because that's what you've created, It ain't
no fault of ours, you arse. These 'Bastards' that you're naming, who not
try the mirror mate? cos that bastard's your reflection, your oppression 
creates the HATE.

@SONG: MIGHTY & SUPERIOR
Mighty & superior we're the rulers you're the ruled. 
We say the grass is greener on the other side,but you can't see that of course
We represent the nation it's our people we put first
We even bail out thirld world countries, it's OUR Investment they DESERVE IT
Simply forcing the back the Russians with peace missiles built for trust
Screwing woth the Yankees - Law and Order Is our must
Sick and fucking tired of their collaborations
Forwarding the clock to our extermination
Get a one-way seat to destruction
Their choice - our must - to rise with the mushroom
Hail to the mushroom - the total combustion. The realization of annihilation
Poseidon's answer, the Trident blunders, Your choice - our must - to die
But you're wrong. Mighty and invincible as they boil the seas for power
Recruiting armies on the land to protect the state that cowers
From the Russkies - from the dollar. One's Investment, One, our enemy
These peole why can't they love. Human feelings, don't they matter?
Much rather they would rule, building castles and tycoons
A crust out to the third world, sending rockets to the moon
Making missiles, tanks and bombs, nuclear power for our homos
Raising hell up from the mines, to the last humans sacrifice...
Well, if you think all's well and strong
There's a movement that's uprising, If you think we can take that
You've got one hell of a shock coming
You might just have pushed too far - you're superior to nithing
The UNGOVERNABLE force Is gonna drag you out of hiding
You think you've got us beaten. You make one slip and you'll know it
We're watching every move you make, as you are us! - FORGET IT
For once we take an inch you just watch us take the mile
Your servants have turned their backs on you, now the world starts to smile!!!
Mighty and superior you are the rulers, we're the ruled
You said the grass was greener on the other side,but we couldn't see!of course
You represent your people, It's your own kind you put first
You bail out third world countries, YOUR Investment to preserve
Forcing back the Russians with peace missiles built for ???

@SONG: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
Some still show strength, while others Just show anger
Holding back our only chance for the sake of never learning
Just who and what is on our side? One thing that ain't is time
They're just waiting for their movement, can't you see their guns are loaded?
And pointing at our lives, ours they will destroy
Without a second thought do you really think they care?
They couldn't give a fuck, but why should they fucking bother?
When we accept the shit they've shat, they think there's no change of attack
Complacency creeps In, cracks form In the foundations
Systems start to seize up - powermongers flee the nation
All power's been abducted, It's protectors have abandoned
The ship that sailed to no avail, the mutiny destroyed the sail

Well if you think things change that easy, think those bastards will easy up
Dream they'll end our nuclear nightmare,that they'll give our world back to us
You better get an eyewash and wipe those illusions from your eyes
For you must be fucking joking, THEY WON'T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT
if it's a fight they want...THEY'VE GOT IT

Yeh, that is the way it's going, but all paths can be diverted
Directions can be changed - It's up to YOU to lay the surface
You're not alone so how about trying to get up off your arse?
Preaching ways and making statements,OK Final but that won't change the nation
Piling on the pressure, with mass action as back up
Yeg, let's take the fight to them! Why wait for them to come to us?
Let's pull together and give the test that will never be - forget

Mother Thatcher orders meeting with the Arch-Angel Heseltine
Discuss a plan they've been preparing - 'THE DREAM TO END ALL TIME'
They pretend to shout, but whisper, as they plot their makepiece feud
Preaching morality or Insanity, whichever one attracts the hordes
Crushing revelations moving In on love and trust
While slyly cornering our freedom Making sure it doesn't burst out
To the manipulated mass of darkness that's been conquered and forgotten
'Fucked hard' and left for hopeless, like the scum that passed before them
The task of the almighty to prove the unbeatable hand of right
encouraging the challenge to attmpt to slay their might
These bastards that force rule and quell all hopes and pleas for peace
Just can't walk to got their final chance to prove supremacy

@SONG: CUSTOM ROCK
There must be a better way
There must be another way
There must be a clever way

(But don't give the game aay)

There must be another way
There must be a better way

There must be a quicker way
21, good looking from New York
Custom built to make good bussiness talk (It makes the women talk)
Next (new) product from their factory of life (lies)
The shooting of a star that could never,
not ever, survive.
Custom rock sounds like a sex aid, Just as cheap and twice as nasty
A carefully planned deception, another cash-in on reality.
Rebellion from the N.M.E. costs 50p the positive direction N.M.A. build bombs
for E.M.I. and support apartheid foundations.
"To spread the message further" get across to a wider spectrum that we need no 
nukes or fascists, we should unite and then take vengeance, Well I'm sorry we
can't take seriously your whining groans of hope.
You made your world now live In It, to us you're just a standing joke.

@SONG: THE UNGOVERNABLE FORCE
Fuck off you, fuck your violent threats, your attempts to control the nation.
Fuck off you fucked up racist cunt, understand the situation
Back off you slimy worthless prick, you ain't got a clue what you're facing!
Eat bricks you hed up bastard shits, scabs; you'll get what you are creating
Who the fuck do you think you're pushing, 'stay in place or get it'
I'd think again to save your skin,'cos if you come to close
You'll fucking regret it, you whine on all the hell you like
Repeat your warnings of plastic bullets, the gas, the batons, the water cannon
The more you oppress the more we'll resist
Riots, there ain't been a riot, but one's knockin' at your door
You've seen nothing yet but houselheld pets, but you'll feel the lions claw
Proclaiming laws last victory, of containing rebel shower
When the time Is right you'll get the fight that will totally test your power
Inciting, provoking trouble, that you know can easilt be beaten
To maintain the Image that we need you, so thus re-confirm your position
You might trick some you scheming scum, but you'll never get our obedience
You can batter, beat us, even imprison, yet still you'll never ever defeat us
Belfast...Brixton...Toxteth...Totteham...St. Pauls...Hansworth...
Reclaim the streets, reclaim the towns, reclaim the nation

What revolution, this revolution, we all wanted a peaceful solution
But this institution, that institution, smashed all hope of getting through
to them. Confrontations, escalating violations of the law
Repercussions of the mass destruction which in the end is sure to mean
Them pumping out the bullets, their protection from the poor
We will win 'cos we have to, we ain't got nothing to lose no more
And what they lose they undoubtedly will forfeit forever
"They've got the guns, but we've got the numbers"
