Beat the Bastards is the seventh album by the Scottish band The Exploited, released in 1996 through Rough Justice Records. "Beat The Bastards", "System Fucked Up" and "Law for the Rich" are songs generated by the album that appear on "The Best Of The Exploited: 25 Years Of Anarchy And Chaos".
In 1994, slowly to the slow task of producing another album were given. The result would be Beat The Bastards album that is considered by many, especially by his followers, a Punk metal album, released in 1996, with 13 songs. Return frequent lineup changes. Striking is the fact that this publication would record with a lineup, had another when he was released for promotional tours and other different; even in CD credits appears as guitarist such a Jamie Buchan, which made many wonder what Buchan was because there was no Jamie Buchan known: the response of the band was that the album was recorded with a guitarist (Frazer Rosetti) which, once paid for his work, left the group without notice to settle in Canada, and to fill his name was included to "Jamie Buchan," who was none other than the son of barely 2 years Wattie . In addition, Wullie Buchan played bass on most topics (all but 15 Years). Again would embark on tours that lead again for England, Europe, North America and Latin America. Various compilation work also would publish.
Slaves to the system there's no way out
Slaves to the system do you have a shout
You've got to beat the bastards and beat 'em now
Sick of policies putting me down
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Just out of school don't have a clue
No income support for you
Can't get a job don't get a chance
Sick of politics leaving you out
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Money, money power and strength
Teenage kids with not to spend
Hungry homeless who gives a shit
Sick of policies leaving me out
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Beat the bastards, beat them now
You've got to beat the bastards, beat the bastards,
Beat the bastards, you've got to beat the bastards,
Beat the bastards, you've got to beat the bastards,
You've got to beat the bastards,
You've got to beat the bastards, beat the bastards
Slaves to the system there's no way out
Slaves to the system do you have a shout
You've got to beat the bastards and beat 'em now
Sick of policies leaving you out
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Beat the bastards, beat them now
