White Punks on Hope |
| They said that we were trash |
| Well the name is Crass, not Clash |
| They can stuff their punk credentials |
| Cause it’s them that take the cash |
| They won’t change nothing with their fashionable talk |
| All their RAR badges and their protest walk |
| Thousands of white men standing in a park |
| Objecting to racism’s like a candle in the dark |
| Black man’s got his problems and his way to deal with it |
| So don’t fool yourself you’re helping with your white liberal shit |
| If you care to take a closer look at the way things really stand |
| You’d see we’re all just niggers to the rulers of this land |
| Punk was once an answer to years of crap |
| A way of saying no where we’d always said yep |
| But the moment we saw a way to be free |
| They invented a dividing line, street credibility |
| The qualifying factors are politics and class |
| Left wing macho street fighters willing to kick arse |
| They said because of racism they’d come out on the street |
| It was just a form of fascism for the socialist elite |
| Bigotry and blindness, a marxist con |
| Another clever trick to keep us all in line |
| Neat little labels to keep us all apart |
| To keep us all divided when the troubles start |
| Pogo on a nazi, spit upon a jew |
| Vicious mindless violence that offers nothing new |
| Left wing violence, right wing violence, all seems much the same |
| Bully boys out fighting, it’s just the same old game |
| Boring fucking politics that’ll get us all shot |
| Left wing, right wing, you can stuff the lot |
| Keep your petty prejudice, I don’t see the point |
| ANARCHY AND FREEDOM IS WHAT I WANT |
