I Abstain |
| I abstain |
| Summon my pride |
| What pride behind your blinkered eyes? |
| Your vigilance is shit |
| The lads together, you fall |
| Smug complacency |
| Notions of reserving the right |
| To think with your fists |
| I abstain from this mundane apathy |
| Commited to «All for red, white and blue» |
| In effect you’re fighting for what’s really fighting you |
| Grit those teeth, push out those chests |
| Tears only for the flag |
| Always the brave patriot as you slip to second class |
| But you stand stead fast |
| People are not subjects |
| Why should the few get more respect? |
| Open your eyes! |
| Imperialism feeds off you |
| Not patrons but patronised |
| Open your eyes! |
| They’re shaping you — you’re trapped with 'pomp and |
| Circumstance' |
| Lose your discretion |
| Sodom, you’ll not fall from grace |
| Endorse their rhetoric |
| You fade, they prosper |
| I abstain! |
| Don’t be a colonial slave |
| Don’t substantiate the act |
