You're Already Dead |
| ATTENTION. |
| Fuck American power. |
| Fuck Russian power. |
| Fuck British power |
| Fuck all power |
| ATTENTION. |
| These ignorant shits arm themselves for annihilation and call it |
| world peace |
| Bollocks |
| Pacified. |
| Classified |
| Keep in line. |
| You’re doing fine |
| Lost your voice? |
| There ain’t no choice |
| Play the game. |
| Silent and tame |
| Be the passive observer, sit back and look |
| At the world they destroyed and the peace that they took |
| Ask no questions, hear no lies |
| And you’ll be living in the comfort of a fool’s paradise |
| You’re already dead, you’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, you’re already dead |
| If you’re the passive observer, here’s a message for you |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| Afraid to do what you know you should do… |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| The world’s at the edge of nuclear destruction |
| But your too afraid to make the connection |
| You still believe the system’s there for your protection… |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, you’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, you’re already dead |
| By letting it happen without a fight… |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| With your endless debates about wrong and right… |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| Nothing’s going to change if you’re not prepared to act |
| There’s no point complaining after the fact |
| Content to be a number, branded X and neatly packed… |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| Four hundred thousand people marched for CND… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| Unless they’re willing to act on what they can see… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| If each and every one of us was prepared to fight for more |
| To stand against the system that creates the need for war |
| The elite would have to run like it’s never run before… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| We don’t need organising |
| Or politicians being patronising |
| We don’t need their leadership |
| Trendy lefties being hip |
| Don’t need their condescension |
| Or their back to root pretension |
| We’ve heard it all before |
| Politicians saying «No more war» |
| Pulling wool across our eyes |
| We don’t need their dangerous lies |
| We won’t accept capitulation |
| It’s just manipulation |
| They want the smooth without the rough |
| But words and gestures aren’t enough |
| We’ve got to learn to reject all leaders |
| And the passive shit they feed us… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| If you think moderation’s going to pave the way to peace… |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| What good is moderation 'gainst the army and police? |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| We’re not promoting mindless violence, keep that for the fools |
| We’re simply saying be prepared to break their laws and rules |
| Let them know the bigger they come, the harder they will fall… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| If they’re going to play it dirty, so are we… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They can keep their lies about the land of the free… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| We’ve allowed them too often to use their iron fist |
| But there’s one little detail they appear to have missed… |
| You don’t have to be PASSIVE just because you’re a PACIFIST… |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’re already dead, They’re already dead |
| They’ll try to sell their system |
| Like it’s some kind od age-old wisdom |
| But we’ve been had like that before |
| It’s just the rich exploiting the poor |
| Well here’s an honest confession |
| We think it’s time they learnt a lesson |
| They’ve tried to hold the people down |
| But we’ve simply gone underground |
| Moving in the darkness looking for the light |
| Looking for a future and ready to fight |
| Looking for the freedom that’s been denied |
| Fast to attack and fast to hide |
| In a world where the people can’t make it |
| They’ve simply got to learn to break it |
| And if the wealthy aren’t prepared to shake it… |
| O.K., we’ll simply have to take it… |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead |
| You’re already dead, You’re already dead… |
