Don't Get Caught |
They won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen |
They won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen |
They won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen |
They won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen, they won’t fucking listen |
We know our know our enemy they’re hiding underground |
They want us to live and die in the shit they leave around |
What can we do? |
What can we say? |
We’re not dead yet; |
to show we’re alive? |
The government says «shove it» and «don't get in the way» |
But we’re sliding down corpses on a world nose-dive |
People here cling tightly to their fear and their fun |
The dead are abroad, so our streets are clean |
Even those who know, hide in Sounds and Sun |
What will it take to stop the machine? |
It’s only when we’re serious and start to make fuss |
That the politicians show their real face |
It’s the copper and the squaddy who were once one of us |
Now trained to do the dirty work and know their place |
If they won’t listen either, what can we do? |
They’re people. |
Yes. |
But only people oppress |
If we can go round them, we’ll have to go through |
If it rains and there’s no shelter we must work in the mess |
They say they’re only trying to uphold the law |
And if they were off duty we could talk some more |
O.K., they’re individuals but when they’re in a mob |
They’re under orders, it’s a dirty job |
The plods are taught to go for your neck |
Or bust your nose running their gauntlet |
P.C. |
Punishment on the spot |
Take the law into their own hands and fuck us a lot |
If we choose to leave the paths that we’ve been taught |
Don’t expect help, do don’t get caught |
They try so very hard to seem reasonable and straight |
And asked you twice already to co-operate |
«You have every right to protest like anyone these days |
But keep to the footpath and out the fucking way, see?» |
If we choose to leave the paths that we’ve been taught |
Don’t expect help, do don’t get caught |
??? |
They’ll think it’s easy on the news at ten ??? |
The commie-anar-fems are at it again |
Annoying the police and the passive 'grass roots' |
We’re living in a country where the army shoots |
People with courage dumped and stranded |
Don’ts and won’ts look on empty-handed |
If you fuck up the state, don’t be a star |
They’re struck if they don’t know who you are |
If we choose to leave the paths that we’ve been taught |
Don’t expect help, do don’t get caught |
To stand up for the good of all and make demands for peace |
Will bring us hard and sharp against the army and police |
Well, they’re the poor too, just like us, maybe it’s too late |
The rich are in their bunker, the poor are at the gate |
Use our head to avoid confrontation |
Our love to avoid exploitation |
If the uniforms choose to stay |
They’ll have to learn to get out of the fucking way |
If we choose to leave the paths that we’ve been taught |
We cease to be the seeker, we become the sought |
