Public Relations
01:10
|

Take a lie and make it true
Constantly deceiving you
Your perception's being managed
While you sit there and let it happen
The heart of humanity
The public be damned
Democracy is just a slogan
Is there such a thing as freedom?
Bad is good and good is evil
The yoyo fear-of-terror level

Keep looking forward, looking high
Find a new way of getting high
Rise above the chaos for a while
Get back in the chase
Into oblivion we will drive
Wasted on the dash, truth on our minds
Tick, tick, tock we will not stop
Get back in the race
The truth is dead
Just us alive
Welcome to the rest of your life

The Endgame
04:43
|
|||
The last word is setting sail
Let the endgame prevail
When few remain
There’s one line to cross
We can all imagine, paradise
Look into the fire
What image is burned?
Death or glory
Cross the line
Death or glory
The maximum progression, there's one last move
The ultimate agenda, a planned consequence
We can all imagine paradise
Look into the fire, what image remains?

Waves

My voice cries out, will someone hear me?
In the dark I'm disappearing
Time will heal or so they say
But it don't always work that way
A black hole
Inside my soul
What's the matter with me?
Waves and waves
And waves and waves
And they are drowning me
Drowning me
And I can't hold them back
Grim reminders every day
From the things I see to the words you say
It's time to go, so I say goodbye
I don't want to live but I don't want to
A black hole
Inside my soul
What's the matter with me?
Waves and waves
And waves and waves
And they are drowning me
Drowning me
And I can't hold them back
I don't want to die but I don't want to live
I don't want to live but I don't want to die
I don't want to, I don't want to
I don't want to, I don't want to
If I lived my life again
I'd only fuck it up the same
A black hole
Inside my soul
What's the matter with me?
What is the matter with me?
Waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to)
And waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to)
And they are drowning me
Drowning me
Waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to)
And waves and waves (I don't want to, I don't want to)
And they are drowning me
Drowning me
And I can't hold them back

Skateboarding, street louge
Potholing, Tattoos
Body mods and motor bikes
Taking drugs at great heights
Dog fighting, self harm
Sunbeds, rocket cars
Base jumping, crap TV
Hair dying, Home surgery
Heroine, colonic irrigation
Cave diving, white water rafting
Cage fighting, destruction derby
Bug chasing, joining the army...
These are the things that don't seem like fun to me.
Big brother, anal sex
Joy riding, homelessness
Facebook, thai massage
Riots, Linux, squatting theme parks
Glory holes and guinea pigs
Curb crawling, little kids
S+M and B+D
Death cults and celebrities
Joss sticks, eating ants, bull riding
Speed boats, nudism, rock climbing
Planking or chasing the cheese
Aroma - bloody - therapy
These are the things that don't seem like fun to me
Gymnasiums, Starbucks
Bunsen burners, gun clubs
Jogging, having 15 kids
Overeating, dieting
Storm chasing, angle grinders
Sex with cars, acupuncture
Yiffing, poi and juggling fire
Suspension, pica, walking high wires
Beards of bees, golden showers
Body building, white power
Vampires, taxidermy
Voting for the tory party
These are the things that don't seem like fun to me
These are the things that don't seem like fun to me

Just across the border
Colonise, dehumanise
Just across the border
Colonise, dehumanise
System failing, their boats are sinking
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Capitalism killing, the families are grieving
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Xenophobic views fuelled by state manipulation
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Construct of the state that's drip feeding the nation
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Just across the border
Colonise, dehumanise
Just across the border
Colonise, dehumanise
Nation states and border lines
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
From the desert to the sea, a sign of the times
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Humanity's lost, defenders of the state
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
A corrupt oligarchy determines peoples fate
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Abolish all borders making movement free
No economic migrants or refugees
Just across the border
Colonise, dehumanise
Just across the border
Colonise, dehumanise
System failing, their boats are sinking
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Capitalism killing, the families are grieving
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Xenophobic views fuelled by state manipulation
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Construct of the state that's drip feeding the nation
Fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder, fences, wire, flesh and murder
Abolish all borders making movement free

Fences, wire, flesh and murder (aarrrggghhh!)
Fences, wire, flesh and murder (aarrrggghhh!)
Fences, wire, flesh and murder (aarrrggghhh!)

Take It
02:38
|

When I first saw your letter
I laughed then I cried
I wanted to kill someone
And I wanted to die
You're just like a zombie
You always come back for more
Well, take another piece of me
Coz you aint had it all
You know you want to
C'mon!
C'mon take it
C'mon take it
Take it all
So you ramp up the pressure
You might as well have a knife
What's the fucking point of it all?
How am I supposed to survive?
As the worry increases
And I'm trapped in my cell
This is what you've done to me
You fucking happy now?!

What D'You Know?

You'll all die if you don't eat meat
What d'you know? What d'you know?
You can't all co-exist in peace
What d'you know? What d'you know?
To criticise is easier than getting involved to make things better

Oh yes I know I’m an idiot, I know you hate my guts
Opinions don’t mean much
You fix the dice, I despise
The outcome is always the same
I will not play your games
Each day's the same, I take the blame
I won't play
Games
Games
Everyone’s a winner, look at the prize
Don’t look at your life
You fix the dice, I despise
I follow the rules I do not know
I will not play your games
Some people never change
I will not play your games
Each day's the same, I take the blame
I won't play
Games
Games
Games
Won't play your games
You’re so clever I’m so dumb, I always play your game
I will not play your games
Some people never change
I will not play your games
Each day's the same, I take the blame
I won't play
Games
Games
Games
Won't play your games
Won't play your fucking games

Before I Die
06:11
|
|||
Here and now
How and why
Yes or no
Do or die
I think I've found something I want to do
I can't be scared of something new
I'll give it a go, it's not too late
I don't want to waste my life away
Moving on
Moving on
Day by day
Laugh or cry
One by one
Do or die
I can see who I can be
It's only me that's stopping me
I'll give it a go, it's not too late
I don't want to waste my life away
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on
Moving on
Woah - Just one more time
Woah - Before I die
Before I die
Before I die (Just one more time)

Strung up on a web, a web of strangled thoughts
Wrapped in a shroud of intricate details
Pressed up against a great big wall of lies
We're doomed to self destruct our tiny minds
With all our self doubt and inner torment
Help us someone, lend a hand
To fathom the things we don't understand
Empty, hollow, this life's a broken shell
Lifeless sentence we serve it here in hell
Burdens, heavy, they're carried on our backs
Spiralling down 'til our sanity cracks
With all our self doubt and inner torment
Help us someone, lend a hand
To fathom the things we don't understand
Help us someone make us well
Imprisoned in a fire burnt hell
Ripped apart by this mortal coil
Then we decompose beneath the soil
Strung up on a web, a web of strangled thoughts
Wrapped in a shroud of intricate details
Pressed up against a great big wall of lies
We're doomed to self destruct our tiny minds
With all our self doubt and inner torment
Help us someone, lend a hand
To fathom the things we don't understand
Help us someone make us well
Imprisoned in a fire burnt hell
Mental torment this is our lives lament

Nail In The Sky

A nail in the sky
Boxes floating by
The choir joins in
They all begin to sing
A nail in the head
Boxes lying dead
No-one joins in
They all begin to die
Death, Decay
Coffin full of peace
Choir begins to smile
Smiling as they go
A nicer way to die
Coffin full of life
Never saw the strife
Playing with the knife
The stab you in the back
Coffin full of peace
Choir begins to smile
No-one joins in
No-one gets to sing

Black hand holds the ace
Burned but survives, play one more deal
Buried the body, it’s gone from our mind
Friends fade into the haze, gunfire’s gone, it’s history
The hand still holds the final ace, waiting to show the losing hand
Can’t outrun the heat, pursue, take flight, disappear
Drink up you’ll be fine, smash the bottle one more time
Drink up you’ll be fine, never catch us for the crime
Silver wing tips, with a cloak, descending, vacant and dead
You will be hunted down, leave the kill to someone else
Stare all you like, eyes always tell
Into the abyss, this will be your last move
Once was lost, now is found
Scatter like leaves, let’s go to ground
Not long til it all goes down
In the desert you can't drown
The lady appears to save the day?
This will not be pleasant, there’s one last play

Numb my brain
Shut away the pain
The fire comes
The sky will fall
The mirror cracks
The faces fall
My misery
It's always there for me
My misery
Live with my misery

Leaving

Miles and miles and miles of highs and lows
Where we gonna crash? Nobody knows
Tour bus legends 2009
Time to say goodbye for one last time
Play and drink, move on and do it again
Play and drink, move on and do it again
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
We got our shirts ripped off in the Czech
Gamberro’s homebrew, getting wrecked
The bombed-out buildings in Bosnia
(Hey Ed!) It’s a long way home from Alsager
Woah oh
Woah oh
Woah oh
Play and drink, move on and do it again
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
500 miles, 8 minutes to play
Climb up the mountain in the rain
Speakers in tents and a homemade stage
Let's stay in this squat for another day
Play and drink, move on and do it again
Play and drink, move on and do it again
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
It's time to go, let's hit the road
We're on our way back home
