Mickey Mouse Is Dead - The Day The Country Died

Mickey Mouse is dead,
Got kicked in the head,
Cos people got too serious,
They planned out what they said,
They couldn't take the fantasy,
Tried to accept reality,
Analyzed the laughs,
Cos pleasure comes in halves,
The purity of comedy,
They had to take it seriously,
Changed the words around,
Tried to make it look profound,
The comedian is on-stage,
Piss taking for a wage,
The critics think he's great
, But the laughter turns to hate.

Mickey Mouse is on TV,
And the kids stare at the screen,
But the pictures are all black and white,
And the words don't mean a thing,
Cos Mummy's got no money,
And daddy is in jail,
He couldn't afford the license,
She can't afford the bail, no.

The kids out in the road,
Their minds have all gone cold,
Cos Mickey Mouse is dead,
They shot him through the head,
With ignorance and scorn,
They believed in something new,
They read the papers, watched the films,
And thought they knew the truth,

Look what you've done to Mickey Mouse.

But reality deceives,
Whatever you believe,
There's always another idea,
And theirs is based on fear,
The fear of being sussed,
For what they really are,
The fear of being laughed at,
When they go too far.

They call it paranoia,
You can't laugh it away,
Until you come to realize,
Everyone's the same,
People hide their problems under faces of contempt,
They hide 'em, till it kills 'em, and no one is exempt,
Not even you.

Look what you've done to Mickey Mouse,
1, 2, 3, 4, look what you've done to Mickey Mouse,
1, 2, 3, 4, can't you even laugh it away?

No - The Day The Country Died

No I don't believe in Jesus Christ,
My mother died of cancer when I was 5,
No I don't believe in religion,
I was forced to go to church, I wasn't told why.

No I don't believe in the police force,
Police brutality isn't a dream,
No I don't believe in the system cos,
Nothing it does makes sense to me.

Don't worry you'll get over it,
You'll grow up, you'll calm down,
Another youth, another fashion,
You'll get over it, you'll calm down,
You don't really mean what you say,
You've had too much to drink,
Don't be so full of hated,
It's not as bad as you think.

No I don't believe in what you say,
You're just part of what I despise,
Yes you're part of the fucking system,
I ain't blind, I can see your lies,
Cos the system thrives on ignorance,
What the public don't know, they can't reject,
In the face of you all I stand defiant,
The rest of the people, they wanna forget.

Parasites - Demolition War E.P. (EP/LP)

The government is real good to us,
They crowd in their shelters and let us die,
The nuclear holocaust won't last long,
White turns black in the sky.

You build your demolition war,
What the hell are you fighting for?

You keep your peace with starving countries,
The cambodians have to be fed,
But can't you see we've got our problems,
You're taxing us to buy tons of lead.

You build your demolition war,
What the hell are you fighting for?

Labor can take the businesses over,
Because they've got the workers rights,
A choice of three for democracy,
And they're all parasites.

Drugs of Youth - Demolition War E.P. (EP/LP)

Get away from the window
The D.S. are outside
The little packets in our pockets
Stuff we gotta hide
Sitting in a corner of a disco
Mouth stuck in a bag
It's hard to fake the high intake
It truns your brain real bad

It's drugs of youth

Crush a barb put it in a syringe
Stick it in your arm
let the feeling crwal to your head
It don't do you no harm
Sniffing sulpahte up my nose
Doing it for a "JOKE"
It makes the world spin so fast
"Things go better with coke"

It's drugs of youth

Animal - Demolition War E.P. (EP/LP)

Ever since they put you away,
Things haven't been quite the same,
They cut off all your lovely hair,
And gave you a brand new brain,
Sent you to university,
'Cos that was the next step up,
Studying sociology,
They gave you a plastic cup.

What happened to you with your brand new brain?
what will they do if they get you again?
Animal! coming to get you!
Animal! 'cos you went insane!

Your new brain was working really well,
And they were satisfied,
They thought they'd done a miracle,
but you had something to hide,
They left a bit of your old brain,
Stuck in inside your skull,
That bit screwed up your culture,
You became an animal.

What happened to you with your brand new brain?
What will they do if they get you again?
Animal! coming to get you!
Animal! 'cos you went insane!

One night you were drinking,
In the students bar,
Two pints blew your animal mind,
YOur brain just went too far,
The laughter turned to slaughter,
You took all you could get,
Now you sit alone in a disco,
Smoking cigarettes.

What happened to you with your brand new brain?
What will they do if they get you again?
Animal! coming to get you!
Animal! 'cos you went insane!

Society - Demolition War E.P. (EP/LP)

Our society what a drag
Another nervous breakdown another fag
You can't get to sleep 'cos you lost your pills
And the protein tablets make you i'll

Our society - What a drag!

Drive around in a smashed-up car
Sometimes you wonder who you are
You look depressed as you walk upstaris
'Cos you lost you job and no-one cares

Our society - What a drag!

See the policemen running round
Driving culture underground
They get paid to put you away
'Cos that's how the system works these days

Our society - What a drag!

Join the people on the dole
They lost interest years ago
What hope is there for you and me
If this is our society?

Our society - What a drag!

British Disease - Worlds Apart

Hatred in the hearts of the young population,
Riots in the streets of the 'civilized' nation,
Was it the poverty? was it the police?
no its the British Disease.

The inbred snobbery,
The patriot law,
Violence and robbery,
The state declares warp

The youth of today with a broken voice,
Have got something to say they ain't got a choice,
Racist police backed by the state,
Wire out the ghetto and build up the hate.

All the wrong answers,
All the wrong ideas,
The riot lasts a day,
But the problem lasts for years.

The great British public they can't understand,
Why should there be riots in this civilized land?
Why is the country being pulled to its knees?
Ignorance is the British Disease.

Ignorance is the British Disease,
Ignorance is the British Disease,
Ignorance is your disease,
Ignorance and apathy,
Ignorance and Bigotry,
You found it all so easy to ignore the people who complained and let their anger rise in flames, You thought this country was so great that nobody could ever hate the way the system treated them, And then you wondered why they burnt you buildings down.

Heads of State - Worlds Apart

Down in the basement in the house with the police outside
There's something secret hidden away
In various crates in a paralyzed state
Are the heads for the mood of the day

There's one full of piety and one for anxiety
And one for when we're heading for war
And one for the masses and the privileged classes
And one that does nothing at all

The replaceable heads are the government leaders
Who always seem to change their politics
Like the head for the nation doesn't deal with immigration
Cos' Patriots and Riots don't mix
And when the head for the day says 'I'll do it this way'
Remember the replaceable head
Cos' when they get elected their decisions are rejected
Completely contradicting what they said

So don't trust the politicians
They don't make their own decisions
Cos' they haven't even got their heads squerd on
Politician's words can be replaced
But then maybe I am wrong I mean this just a song,
is it just that Politicians are two-faced?

Apathy - Worlds Apart

Drink Sex Cigarettes,
Ford cortina household pets,
Bombs? War? Famine? Death?
An apathetic public couldn't care less.

The public watches ITV,
Reads 'the sun' drinks cups of tea,
Two star family stay content,
Their lives controlled by parliament,
Well daddy's lost his Job again,
Because he never had no brains,
He only lives to watch T.V.,
His life controlled by apathy.

Drink Sex Cigarettes,
Ford cortina household pets,
Bombs? War? Famine? Death?
An apathetic public couldn't care less.

The russians seem so far away,
The government seems to be ok,
The papers never mention war,
Cos' the people that they cater for have got.

Drink Sex Cigarettes,
Ford cortina household pets,
Bombs? War? Famine? Death?
An apathetic public couldn't care less.

The things you never knew were there,
Or was it that you didn't care?
The biggest problem face to face,
An apathetic human race.

Drink Sex Cigarettes,
Ford cortina household pets,
Bombs? War? Famine? Death?
An apathetic public couldn't care less.

Fade Away - Worlds Apart

We live we die
And in between we sit and wonder why
Why must we someday die?
Tried and tested
We live our lives like our dear parents did
Tied down and restricted

Of gods and guns
Do we need to die for christ's sake or for anyone?
They call it religion
And so we pray
For god to save us from our evil ways
They call it self-decy

We live we die
In fear of gods and guns and never knowing why
Why must we someday die?

So live your life
In fear of no-one
We must have out say
Before we fade away
