I Heard a Rumour |
| The message is swing on a baseball bat |
| Have you heard the one about the anarchist bust fund? |
| Really it goes to Conflicts beer fund |
| Buys Hoddy’s smack, Colin meat pies |
| Did you know Mortarhate’s really EMI? |
| Time and time again we hear the same old rumours |
| Conflict doing this, conflict doing that |
| I saw, I heard, guess what they done? |
| Got the punters to riot down in Brixton |
| They say they will bring the nation to its knees |
| But where were they when it went off in Leeds? |
| Is it true Colin bought his girlfriend a horse? |
| Owns a block of flats? |
| Does a science course? |
| Heard about how they rip off bands? |
| A fiver expenses for touring the land |
| Said the money was going to ALF |
| Gave a carrot to the animals and pocketed the rest |
| Eight hundred gigs in just eight years |
| Said it caused hard work, blood and tears |
| They say our movement is been destroyed |
| It’s just another Conflict ploy! |
| Time and time again we hear the same old rumours |
| Conflict doing this, conflict doing that |
| «The King’s of Punk», are they so sincere? |
| Their chauvinist stance makes the answer clear |
| We are in it for the drugs, birds and booze |
| There ain’t a dirty trick we wouldn’t use |
| Well drop it, forget it, because you got it fucking wrong |
| And while I’m about it, should I sing it? |
| Should I shout it? |
| Standing on the world’s stage, the emotion the outrage |
| A target in the firing line for a slagging of a new age |
| And just as we attempted to spark a little hope |
| Trigger fingers started wagging, «you're just a fading joke» |
| You never wanted leaders, but you treated us as such |
| And then when we said «no more of this», who kicked away your crutch? |
| You accused us of hypocrisy and ripping people off |
| Who co-arranged Stop the City? |
| Who told it was not enough? |
| Who’s been nicked for animal raids, hunt sabbing, speaking out (so what)? |
| Oh yeah while I’m about it, should I scream or should I shout it? |
| All criticisms that you made, the song remains the same |
| The gathering down in Brixton, who was it who took the blame? |
| Blamed for causing riots, blamed for causing violence |
| Blamed by you for being born, then blamed for being silent |
| Drop it, forget it, you got it fucking wrong |
