Smash the Mac |
Roll up roll up to the land of dreams |
We weave and spin a web of fantasy |
We touch on the pain and fear… |
Then whisk you back to the consumer world |
Touch the surfaces smooth the veneer |
While three-quarters of the world starves |
What do you care? |
The glitter continuing to glitter |
The tinsel showers and Tinkerbell |
Waves the magic wand |
Sell sell buy buy |
You know the name of the game… |
All right Jack sitting on the fence |
They sit on the fence |
Real people stand against and say |
They have the best intention |
Just a rip-off trick it’s always hip |
To keep in with dissension |
And if an arms dealer is the record boss |
The record labels can run 'em at a loss |
It’s money well spent to control the dross |
What they don’t break gets bent… John |
All right Jill sitting on the fence |
The people are fooled by the parasites |
Who mindlessly entertain |
And take rich pickins |
From the bombed out crowds |
Who’ve paid to bury their pain |
While the clowns in the pantomime |
Don’t give a toss and sing about fucks |
And fads and loss |
Sliding around in a genital froth |
Our world slips down the drain |
That’s really really wonderful |
Well off the wall |
That’s really really marvellous |
Sitting on the fence |
Really terrific well out to lunch |
That really is a buzz sitting on the fence |
Preening and posing in a life of pretence |
In a cynical mockery of caring |
Well you can’t see a turd in a barrel of shit |
If that’s their idea of sharing |
Yeah peace is in so dump an old track |
Buy a little cred with the Greenham pack |
The biz is keen to kill or catch |
As the people cream they’re cheering |
All right Jack. |
All right Jill |
The pen is mighty and looks can kill |
All right Jack. |
All right Jill |
In one hand a gift in the other a bill |
We’ve seen their best and we’re not impressed |
So let’s get priorities straight |
A hamper from Harrods and the patronising gestures |
Ain’t gonna change the state |
While the people who care are prepared to act |
The pantomime clowns keep the system intact |
Shamming a commitment they so obviously lack |
The love they sing is hate… fakes |
All right Jack shit on the fence |
All right Jill shit on the fence |
But the fence the fence is owned by America |
Sit on the fence owned by America |
They make no pretence it’s owned by America |
Jack and Jill on the fence it’s owned by America |
On their side American troopers and bombs |
On our side the trash and consumer cons |
We’ve been occupied, culture smashed and betrayed |
But the spirit is untouched… look out… |
Smash the Mac smash the Mac |
Smash the Mac smash the big Mac |
Bronco burgers burnt out brain |
Sterile fat deadly rain |
Chemical colours Kentucky creams |
Cut your teeth on American… dreams |
Stickin chicken American grains |
Licking shittin American reigns |
Kiddies fit in American trains |
Bombs tick in American… Planes |
Smash the Mac You’re on your back |
Smash the Mac til it won’t come back |
American tourist American free |
Two week tour in misery |
A good museum but a stinking home |
The natives hang on the rotten backbone |
America owns America wins |
Comes in packets bottles tins |
Blinds our eyes fills our ears |
It’s been our soul for twenty… years |
Smash the Mac American tack |
Smash the Mac smash the big Mac |
Smash the Mac make it crack |
Smash the Mac smash the big Mac |
We stand among your war machines |
Looking for the light |
Squaddies grunts and filth sip pepsi- |
Cola wait to fight… |
The bricks of our world |
That you cover in plastic |
Will sail through your plate-glass windows |
E.T. |
go home… |
E.T. |
go home… |
Mickey Mouse fuck off |
