Drag it down if I want to, drag it down if I want to
Cut it up if I want to, cut it up if I please
Like never, like no, can't stand it, can't know
It shouldn't have to be like this - like no
It shouldn't have to be like this - like no
Rip it down if I want to, rip it down if I want to
Scum it up if I want to, scum it up if I need
Like never, like no, can't stand it, can't know
It shouldn't have to be like this - like no
It shouldn't have to be like this - like no
We shouldn't have to be like this, We shouldn't have to be like this
We shouldn't have to be like this, We shouldn't have to be like this
We shouldn't have to be like this, We shouldn't have to be like this
Drag it down if I want to, drag it down if I want to
Drag it down if I want to, drag it down if I please
Fuck it up if I want to, fuck it up if I want to
Fuck it up if I want to, fuck it up if I please

Eight Days

Eight days of the week, can't believe my eyes
Insurrection in the streets, so we stay inside
Go, it's coming
Eight days of the week, we're dead on our feet
Take me aside, just shoot me
No black and white, black and white
Wish we could drive right through you
Tired of wishing things were different, I can sympathise
Lately things don't seem so easy, there's no black and white
Go, it's coming
Eight days of the week, we're dead on our feet
Take me aside, just shoot me
No black and white, black and white
Wish we could drive right through you

Microwaved
03:43
|
|

|
Systematic abuse on a daily basis
You're a racist (You don't know why?)
Evidence of your intrusions, multiplied by my contusions
You can't suture the future (though you may try)
Because we're cut, dried, microwaved
Safe in the knowledge that we'll all be saved
You say there's no black in the Union Jack
But you can't give me a single reason why
I say there's no common wealth in the commonwealth
'Cause it's the colour of your money matter since the day the country died
And don't you read the papers?
Economics is gonna save us
And "science never sleeps"
'Cause "science never sleeps"

You knock me down, take the shirt from our backs
Kick me 'round, but you will never stop me
Drag me down, take the words from my mouth
Kick me 'round, 'round, but you will never stop me
He said no man could ask for better sons
And after all the things I've said and done
He said he carries us both deep within his heart
What if my kind afraid to try?
You knock me down, take the shirt from our backs
Kick me 'round, but you will never stop me
Drag me down, take the words from my mouth
Kick me 'round, 'round, but you will never stop me
And it's the selling of the setting sun
That let's me know our work has just begun
You know we'll never erase it, it's gone too far
What if my kind afraid to try?
You knock me down, take the shirt from our backs
Kick me 'round, but you will never stop me
Drag me down, take the words from my mouth
Kick me 'round, 'round, but you will never stop me

What's In It For Me?
03:15

I tried my best
Did all that I can
I don't think I've got a single thing left
That I can call my own
Still, at the end of the day
When all's said and done
The one and only single thing left
Is that one burning question
What's in it for me?
Yeah, what's in it for me?
Yeah, what's in it for me?
('Cause that's what really matters)
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?
('Cause that's what really matters)
Same as the rest
Convince me I am
You don't need to burn the bridge in my head
'Cause I'm out on my own
Still, at the end of the day
When all's said and done
The one and only single thing left
Is that one burning question
What's in it for me?
Yeah, what's in it for me?
Yeah, what's in it for me?
('Cause that's what really matters)
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?
('Cause that's what really matters)
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?
Yeah, what's in it for me, me, me?

Was it something I said?
But I don't even know you
Was it something I did?
And if it was, then just tell me
If you show me no soul
Then you give me no reason
Stand up straight when I walk
You can see me?
Kick all the dust that you want
You know you're never gonna
Shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
And if you shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
If I gave you the tools
Could I temper my freedom?
And if I suffered the fools
Would you let me succeed in
Contructing my soul
Should I give you the reason?
Stand up straight when I walk
You can see me?
Kick all the dust that you want
You know you're never gonna
Shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
And if you shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
No matter what you say
We're gonna get back up again
No matter what you do
We're gonna stand up straight again
No matter what you say
We're gonna get back up again
No matter what you do
We're gonna stand back up again
Shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
And if you shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down
We'll just get back up again
And if you shut us down, shut us down
Shut us down, shut us down

We Know

They gotta brush you aside and make up the time
Stick to the scene, make the masses so clean
We know, we know, we know, we know, we know
They gotta tell you who's right – tell me I'm wrong
Two puppets, one hand and a heart-felt song
We know, we know, we know, we know, we know
'Cause we've been down this road before
If the word is broken, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
When the world is choking, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
Will it bring you?
It's "eyes front" in a nation of disinformation
Right from the start, keep us all in the dark
We know, we know, we know, we know, we know
We jumped ship on the saviour of modern behaviour
Swallowed the blame, make us always the same
We know, we know, we know, we know, we know
'Cause we've been down this road before
If the word is broken, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
When the world is choking, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
Will it bring you? (Will it bring you?)
Tell me I'm right, tell me I'm wrong
Stick to the scene, make the masses so clean
Tell me I'm right, tell me I'm wrong
Stick to the scene, make the masses so clean
Make the masses so clean
'Cause we've been down this road before
If the word is broken, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
When the world is choking, will it bring you down?
Yeah, we've been down this road before
If the word is broken, will it bring you down?
Will it bring you?
Will it bring you?

Then shut the fuck up
Just take it all away
Anything, just "keep it clean"

You toe the line, there's no fight

You can't touch this dream, you can't make this scene
You can't change a thing, watch me, watch me, watch me
Turn things 'round, you can't make this sound
We can't change a thing, watch me, watch me, watch me
And I'd like to rise above you
And I'd like to see you falling
Down, feeling
Down, nothing
Down, your feeling
Down, is nothing
You can't light this fuse, we're not safe to choose
You can't make a stand, watch me, watch me, watch me
Can't burn the pages, it's not sent in stages
You can't change a thing, watch me, watch me, watch me
And I'd like to rise above you
And I'd like to see you falling
Down, feeling
Down, nothing
Down, your feeling
Down, is nothing
And I'd like to see you falling
Down, feeling
Down, nothing
Down, your feeling
Down, is nothing

Please, sir, tell me why there's no black Superman, KKK kryptonite?
"God only makes Caucasian super-heroes."
Please, sir, tell me why we stick a man on the moon when life on earth's so cheap?
"Son we gotta do our bit for the world trade deficit."
Please, sir
Please, sir
Tell me why
If "God is love," I'm so dysfunctional
Please, sir, tell me why there's so much vagrancy
"Layabouts get a job." - Well, there's an opening for a part-time Unabomber
Please, sir, tell me why my life's so pitiful but "the future's so bright."
Well, I'd look ahead but it burns my retinas
Please, sir
Please, sir
Tell me why
If "God is love," I'm so dysfunctional
