Deathbox 03:26
From the cradle to the grave You’re taking the piss mate It’s generational poverty Regulating liberty Closed doors class wars Trade whores biased laws Closed doors class wars Trade whores biased laws Light up the battleground I don’t want to win Just to survive Light up the battleground I don’t want to win Just to survive Why social climb Wade through all their slime We’ll hunker down in here With no death box fear Closed doors class wars Trade whores biased laws Closed doors class wars Trade whores biased laws Light up the battleground I don’t want to win Just to survive Light up the battleground I don’t want to win Just to survive Even though my heart breaks Seeing what you’re going through We’ve something to tell them Oui c’est sauvage There are only 2 classes 10% own everything They take without giving And rigged the economy It’s only the mega rich By stolen wealth That's made the rest of us A nation of losers The 90% of us None should ever go hungry We should fight this injustice Let the battle begin Light up the battleground I don’t want to win just to survive Light up the battleground I don’t want to win just to survive

Mind Control 04:21
Dancing to the back beat In a down beat bar The world goes in to freefall As its pushed too hard Men in suits do cocaine in a city bar Housewives on the tv filmed In luxury spas Their boot on your neck And your face in the dirt We don’t fight back Though its starting to hurt Money needs money Just like power needs power Wage slaves keep going For their ten quid an hour In my head in my head The treadmill of life Day after day turns to Week after week The treadmill keeps turning And making us weak Month after month Becomes year after year But me and you, We're all going no where Even more of this is coming our way Stuck on this treadmill Aand making us stay Don’t patronise us with your charity Stick your carte blanch authority In my head in my head The treadmill of life In my head in my head The treadmill of life All day and all night It don't ring true They ain't me or you The party seeks power Entirely for its own sake They are not interested In the good of others They are interested Solely in power, pure power Mind control by the daily news Mind control by watching tv Mind control in education Mind control by the government Mind control by social media Mind control by propaganda Mind control in a brave new world Mind control we will all be damned Mind control switch off your tv Mind control switch off your tv Mind control in society Mind control catastrophe

How was it decided When you cut up and divided It’s hard to see any truth When looking in your eyes Vote for the red, blue, Yellow or green Fascists or commies You can pick your own team Infiltrating truth to Spread lies out there Disaffect the youth So they no longer care Esprit de corps it is done for here Just out for themselves And they reek of fear Negative politics negative politics Negative politics load of bollotics They're all the fucking same In their designer suits Rolled off the production line In schools for little snoots Tv smiles and editing But whos the puppet master Hedge funds for financiers Nowt left for disasters Distort the truth To spread fear out there Disaffected youth That no longer care Solidarity it’s no longer here Just live for themselves It’s become so clear Negative politics negative politics Negative politics load of bollotics Negative politics negative politics Negative politics load of bollotics Esprit de corps it’s done for here Solidarity there’s no more here Esprit de corps it’s done for here Solidarity there’s no more here Esprit de corps it’s done for here Solidarity there’s no more here Esprit de corps it’s done for here Solidarity there’s no more here 15 minute city - I don't fuckin think so Negative politics negative politics Negative politics load of bollotics Negative politics negative politics Negative politics load of bollotics Negative politics its all bollotics Negative politics making us sick Negative politics Two faced hypocrites Negative politics load of bollotics

Dusseldorf Hamburg Berlin babies Became democrats The zhengden zone The tourist trail The migrant worker is Changing all that Ich kann nicht schlafen Die appétit verloren Ich kann nicht schlafen Real eyes shall see Ich kann nicht schlafen Die appétit verloren Realise and see History has ended Before it began Stay in your own borders Said the american man I'll buy up all your cities My european pretties Keep you safe from harm No need for alarm Ich kann nicht schlafen Die appétit verloren Ich kann nicht schlafen Real eyes shall see Ich kann nicht schlafen Die appétit verloren Realise and see I am the traveller Of thoughts and minds An invisible woman Crossing borders and time I sit unnoticed in a street café But I fear the rise of Pro right wing vibes Ich kann nicht schlafen Die appétit verloren Ich kann nicht schlafen Real eyes shall see Ich kann nicht schlafen Die appétit verloren Realise and see

You have awakened my immortal spark We shall control the never ending dark But with me, it’s far better not to live My heart yearns to see you softly bleed In the day I sleep with open eyes And In the night I’m the devil in disguise Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill We will roam throughout the centuries Making love in the darkened cemeteries With us as one we shall eagerly partake Only be watchful for the man with the stake In the day I sleep with open eyes And In the night I’m the devil in disguise Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill Mankind shivers when my presence is near When they see me its more than they can bear Our time together shall be for eternity My trap is waiting I’m keeping very still In the day I sleep with open eyes And In the night I’m the devil in disguise Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill Lying dormant ready for the kill In the day I sleep with open eyes And In the night I’m the devil in disguise In the day I sleep with open eyes And In the night I’m the devil in disguise At night I lurk with lust for blood I’ll bleed you dry utopia The dark is mine your blood dIvine The afterlife for kingdom come The way you linger The way you seem to stare The more you struggle The more I’ll get my thrill The way you linger The way you seem to stare The more you struggle The more I’ll get my thrill In the day I sleep with open eyes In the night I’m a devil in disguise In the day I sleep with open eyes In the night I am kill kill kill kill kill

Turn off your mind medusa’s child Painting of the scream Through nightmare dreams The room with no windows Eyes watch from the walls Voices shouting in my head From the chains of the night Mirror on the wall It’s time for me to go Fuck this for apathy Tough luck if you didn’t see Half of me trapped in a box Half of me can pick the locks I am the artful dodger I won’t be your slave Glazed eyes don’t reflect The bitterness in your soul I couldn’t breathe I need to breathe I couldn’t breathe I need to breathe I couldn’t breathe I need to breathe I couldn’t breathe I need to breathe No Fuck you your staring eyes Fuck you and your crusade If I was Delilah I'd cut off all of your heads Mirror image is a tv screen The open portal of what has been Slept through it in a sweat The robot ghost of the internet Like a voodoo doll She had kept me under a spell She knows my name But she’ll never know me Fuck you your staring eyes Fuck you your evil lies If I was Delilah I'd cut off all of your heads Fuck you your burning eyes Fuck you and your smear campaign If I was Delilah You’d never get to look in my eyes never ever never ever again

There's a voice in my head Nagging me what to do Is it an illness or a super Power breaking through? Even in the darkness It comes with scars Haunting flash backs From that net of tiny stars Puncture the darkness Like a sigh of relief Take it in because of that air As it brings belief I feel the axis shift And the drift of sleep It makes me unsteady Up on my tired feet Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey This nation is ill With that virus hate So called friends poking friends Hook them up like bait Egos out of control Fills a universe Spinning yarns weaving Blankets so subverse So here we go So here we go So here we go Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey Zero one two honey I take refuge in the dark It's loneliness a sigh of relief It makes me feel safe From a world that’s falling apart Take refuge in not knowing What to say or do Hear the story in your mind Where there is only you Find a new place in your mind In a house with old pictures Of your family that is gone You’ll find refuge in the dark

Exorcism 03:09
Work is a grind I'm losing my mind Chains clamp around They're pulling me way down Answer the phone Set the colours and tone I wanna keep the control I won't sacrifice my soul Life gets so demanding The gremlins ever expanding The chains are getting tighter Pulling me way way down Gotta switch off that damn phone Change the colours and the tone Gotta take a better control To rescue my ailing soul More demands Just tear up the plans And you can tell me what you want Or tell me what you don't want No? I'm gonna stop Gonna dance away the week Stomp it under my feet My final decision There's gotta be an exorcism Gonna dance away the week Stomp it under my feet My final decision There's gotta be an exorcism Gonna dance away the week Stomp it under my feet My final decision There's gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism Gotta be an exorcism

Number 10 02:31
You ain’t fit to govern You’re a bunch of prats Go back to your lodges And your swanky flats Sign the fracking license When we look the other way Every day inflation Still outstrips our pay When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable The prats at number 10 Have gone and done it again And the press are just Rattling our cages To sell poverty voyeurism to us now Put the thickest bimbos On our tv screens Demonise people Forced to live beyond their means When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable Our reach is still far Further than our grasp This is something that you need to know In your world you think you’re worth 10 k a day Not to us mate… no way…. You’re nothing The prats at number 10 Have gone and done it again The prats at number 10 Have gone and done it again Opened up the coal mines so nobody goes cold But it’s all being exported so the country doesn’t fold Investing our taxes in nuclear energy For nuclear warheads To scare the yank’s enemy When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable When peaceful revolution is impossible It makes violent revolution inevitable The prats at number 10 Have gone and done it again All of them the prats at number 10 Have gone and done it again

Water Dance 02:25
I hear your heart beat Next to the river Caught in a trance Caught in a dance Steal your breath You can’t control All life must bow To the rise and fall I’ve been dreaming I could become The western grebe To rise and run The sultry slither Of the river Streaks the land With ebb and flow Show show me how to dance The water dance the water dance Show show me how to dance The water dance the water dance Bolingo Sala makasi In the ripple of the water The rattle call for synchrony Shake their heads from side to side While they display their love parade On the river they shall surrender Walk on water two by two The gentle sway of the waves In a trance they are entranced Show show me how to dance The water dance the water dance Show show me how to dance The water dance the water dance Show show me how to dance The water dance the water dance Show show me how to dance
