Lyrics The Five Knuckle Shuffle - Crass

The Five Knuckle Shuffle

Anything and everything can be so easily institutionalized
A poor parody of itself
Itself contained by itself
There’s no point in just mouthing the words
The token tantrums just aren’t enough
Nor is speed and weed and the Positive Creed
Exclusive clubs where the various tribes congratulate each other for doing fuck
all
Will achieve nothing but the strengthening of the status quo
Punk has spawned another rock and roll elite
Cheap Rotten Vicious imitations thinking they’ll change their world
With dyed hair and predictable gestures.
Nouveau wankers!
There’s a thousand empty stages waiting for their empty performances
A thousand empty faces waiting for their empty stances
How many times must we hear rehashed versions of Feeding of the 5000
By jerks whose only fuck off to the system has been one off the wrist?
It’s the Feeding of the 5 Knuckle Shuffle!!!
