1. VISIONS OF WAR

My head is filled with fear of war
Fear and threat of war
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head

Among the maimed and slaughtered
My body lies
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head

My head is filled with fear of war
Fear and threat of war
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head

Among the maimed and slaughtered
My body lies
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head


2. DOES THIS SYSTEM WORK?

Men and women young and old
Out on the streets homeless
Does this system
Does this system
Does this system work?

In plastic bags they carry their homes
Clothes in rags they walk the streets
Does this system
Does this system
Does this system work?

Men and women young and old
Out on the streets homeless
Does this system
Does this system
Does this system work?

In bins they search for the odd dog end
The odd dog end and food
Does this system
Does this system
Does this system work?


3. A LOOK AT TOMORROW

I look out my window to a blinding bright light
Enola passes, passes by
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow

Hysterical men, women and children
Run in search of their families
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow

I look out of my window to a blinding bring light
Enola passes passes by
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow

Skin is shed like that of snakes
But it's not the work of mother nature
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow


4. WHY?

Besides her man she kneels
Holds him tight and begins to cry
Why, why, why, but why?

Her loved one's just another piece of
Meat on the battlefields
Why, why, why, but why?

Her cries break out into screams
As she now becomes hysterical with grief
Why, why, why, but why?

Her loved one's just another piece of
Meat on the battlefields
Why, why, why, but why?


5. MAIMED AND SLAUGHTERED

Men, women and children cry and scream in pain
Wounded by bomb splinters
Streets littered with maimed and slaughtered
In rigid pathetic heaps

Men, women and children cry and scream in pain
Wounded by bomb splinters
Streets littered with maimed and slaughtered
In rigid pathetic heaps


6. MANIA FOR CONQUEST

In order to satisfy their mania for conquest
Lives are squandered
To satisfy their mania
Mania for conquest

Civilians torn from their families
Happy homes destroyed, and for what?
To satisfy their mania
Mania for conquest

In order to satisfy their mania for conquest
Lives are squandered
To satisfy their mania
Mania for conquest

Civilians torn from their families
Happy homes destroyed, and for what?
To satisfy their mania
Mania for conquest


7. AIN'T NO FEEBLE BASTARD

Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say
They say do this they say do that, no I'm no dog's body
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat

Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think, not what they want me to think
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat

Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say
They say do this they say do that, no I'm no dog's body
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat

Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think, not what they want me to think
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat


8. IS THIS TO BE?

Scorched earth is all that's left
Where trees and flowers once grew
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction

Nothing left but wasteland
Littered with human flesh and bone
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction

Scorched earth is all that's left
Where trees and flowers once grew
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction

Nothing left but wasteland
Littered with human flesh and bone
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction


9. MASSACRE OF INNOCENTS (AIR ATTACK)

Sounds of distant aircraft
Get louder and louder
Massacre of innocents

Men, women and children
Flee from the open in search of safety
Massacre of innocents

Sounds of distant aircraft
Get louder and louder
Massacre of innocents

A woman breaks down and cries
Her child is left playing in the street
Massacre of innocents


10. WHY? (REPRISE)

Why?!

Besides her man she kneels
Holds him tight and begins to cry

Her loved one's just another piece of
Meat on the battlefields

Why, why, why, but why?
Why?

Why, why, why, but why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

Why?!

11. REALITIES OF WAR

War is a black hole to avoid
The realities of war are so disturbing
They declare it but they don''t hear
The cries of fear

War is a black hole to avoid

Mutilated corpses and charcoal flesh
Litter the battlefields
But their dead bodies
Are not to be found

War is a black hole to avoid


12. THEY DECLARE IT

They have the right what fuckin' right?
To say I must fight in their fuckin' wars?
They declare it!

Why should I fight in their fuckin' wars?
When they don't consult my views of war?
They declare it!

Why should I fight in their fuckin' wars?
Why should I do their killing and be killed?
They declare it!

It's nothing to them if I were dead or alive
All they want is death or glory
They declare it!

They! They! They declare it!
They! They! They declare it!
They! They! They declare it!
They! They! They declare it!
War! War! War!


13. BUT AFTER THE GIG

Leather and sweat fills the atmosphere
Stretchin' and drippin' just to pogo too
The anarchy show they shout it out

There is no real music
And I'm just shoutin' and screamin'
But that is a response to an anarchist meeting
But after the gig is my true bender
Every shake back to me goes
Poor lambs this is a fuckin 'slaughter

You think that this is a turn of phrase
Realism is what we're preachin'
Are you really so afraid?


14. SOCIETY'S VICTIM

I'm just a victim of your wildest lies
Send in my photo with another name

I'm society's victim

Nobody has to get you to buy it now
That's your concern and I don't vote

I'm society's victim

I'm just the subject of discussion now
The one no-one admires

I'm society's victim

I'm not just sufferin' from paranoia
It's invented by you and them

I'm society's victim


15. FIGHT BACK

Bristols riots was a result of people''s anger
Towards the system

Fight the system fight back
Fight the system fight back

People die in police custody
Where's the justice in that, don''t see none

Fight the system fight back
Fight the system fight back

We 've been shit on far too long
There are no equalities, no freedom

Fight the system fight back
Fight the system fight back

Stand up fight for freedom
Stand up fight for your rights

Fight the system fight back
Fight the system fight back
Fight the system fight back


16. WAR'S NO FAIRYTALE

Government and queen are your only enemies
Don't be fooled by their plastic smiles

War's no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys

They don't wanna know your views of war
They never stop to think about you

War''s no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys

They want you kept in the darkness
of the realities of war

War's no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys

Meat flung yards apart from bodies
Are typical sights of war

War's no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys


17. ALWAYS RESTRICTIONS

Twisting words words for their own gain
Led up another garden path
Kept in darkness and fed on crap

It's a messed up, fucked up fuckin' system

They're always there with their restrictions
Always there to put you down
Anarchy's the only solution now

It's a messed up, fucked up fuckin' system

Twisting words words for their own gain
Led up another garden path
Kept in darkness and fed on crap

It's a messed up, fucked up fuckin' system

They're always there with their restrictions
Always there to put you down
Anarchy's the only solution now

It's a messed up, fucked up fuckin' system


18. YOU TAKE PART IN CREATING THE SYSTEM

You take part in creating this system
That we all must suffer in
We can't stop going round and round
We got to fix this rat race

This is the system you helped to create

They use you for corruption schemes
You're the unrealized and intended
You're the one the one they don''t like
You let them know your fears

This is the system you helped to create

You ask me why I'm fighting the system
Why I'm preaching anarchy
I'm fighting for the freedom
Fighting for the rights
For the likes of you and me

This is the system you helped to create
This is the system you helped to create


19. RELIGION INSTIGATES

Well you ass crawling bastards suck my arse
Religion, Jesus Christ, it's all a fucking farce

A stray bullet kills an innocent child
Nothing's gained and nothing's solved

Religion instigates this hate and war
As another victim life escapes through gunshot wounds

A stray bullet kills an innocent child
Nothing's gained and nothing's solved


20. DECONTROL

They fill you up with their fucking lies
You're the victims of government schemes
They take liberties they've no right to take
And you believe they're oh so right
They only show concern when war is declared
Cos you're their power and glory
This whole affair's so fucking unfair
It's so fucking sick

Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol

We're being shit on far too long
We're being shit on far too long
We're being shit on far too long
We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long


21. IT'S NO TV SKETCH

The limbs of a child stick out of debris
It is no T.V. sketch

No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch

It ain't the work of make up artists
This wounded flesh and blood

No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch

A child lies dead in a pool of blood
It is no T.V. sketch

No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch

It ain't the work of make up artists
This wounded flesh and blood

No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch
No no T.V. sketch


22. TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

You''re so afraid to stand up
But without you they are nothing

Unite unite unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us
Unite unite unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us

Why should we suffer to fulfil
Their schemes of position and greed

Unite unite unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us
Unite unite unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us
