lyrics

THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT DON'T SEEM LIKE FUN TO ME
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

THE BOATMAN
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
No economic migrants or refugees

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

TAKE IT
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
