I'm lost for words when I think of the depths to which we sink
Sometimes there just seem to be no depths to which our species will not sink. Surely, in this day and age, we should be seeking to establish meaningful and constructive relationships with other higher intelligences like dolphins and whales. Instead, however, we seen intent on either exterminating them or roping them in to our sick, perverted power games. How anyone can take friendly, playful wild dolphins and cold-bloodedly turn them into drug addicted killing machines is almost beyond comprehension. Yet people do it.
Cold death flies from harpoon gun - The sea turns red - What have we done?
A horrific death by harpoon - Scientific research? Blue whales, the largest animals on the Earth, have already been hunted to virtual extinction while sperm whales (who are also highly intelligent creatures with complex social organisation and even their own culture) have found themselves bruttaly slaughtered by rich scum like Aristotle Onassis, the sick evil scumbag who even went so far as to use the penises of sperm whales to make his luxury yacht's bartools.
Poison and kill - We are the ones - See what we do - What have we done?
Once this magnificent animal swam freely in the seas
But now held captive for human greed.
A miserable "life" behind bars and concrete walls
No companion killer whales to hear its calls.
Yes. I'm sickened by what I've seen
And the mass Faroe Islands pilot whale slaughter is Obscene.
My eyes don't easily fill with the tears
But when I watched those whales scream and die
The tears ran freely from my eyes
To see them murded, hacked apart
Was like something tearing indide my heart
Yet one day such creatures might all swim free
Peaceful coexistence - no fear, no need to hide
Safety rules - corners cut
Just to keep the profits up
Money saved - profits rise
But consequence is someone dies
Victim of a chemical spillage
Safety regulations breached
Critical concentrations reached
Money is saved but a live is lost
Loved ones left to count the cost
Tanker crashin the village
Death could from the spillage
No escape from the fumes
Peoples' homes become their tombs
In the face of corporate greed
Ecodefence is what we need
Read and act upon this text
Or you become the next victim of a chemical spillage
Never forget that one thing that motivates big business is profit. As far as the multinationals are concerned, there is nothing that they will not destroy in their insane drive for increased takings: forests, meadows, rivers, the sea - even their own employees are all seen as expedable. This kind of omnicidal madness is killing our Earth and can only be stopped by mass direct action. Anyone who advocates this of course is branded as an extremist - Yet what could be more extreme than the mass poisoning and polluting of our planet, the destruction of huge areas of rainforest and the wholesale slaughter to extinction of vast numbers of species of animals? It's time to stand up and be counted - If you're not part of the solution. You're part of problem.
They fought in the war to keep the people free
From the nazi scum who would invade our country
Fighting the fascist filth they risked their lives
But now they're old and weak they're just left to die
IT AIN'T RIGHT - NO WAY!
IT AIN'T RIGHT - THEY'VE BEEN BETRAYED
As soon as they're no use the government says goodbye
They throw them on the scrapheap and leave them to die
As soon as you're no use the government will say goodbye
They're throw you on the scrapheap and leave you to die
Folk who've worked for society for all of their years
Given blood and sweat and toil and tears
As soon as they're no use when they're too old
The government lets them freeze to death in the cold
On the pittance of a pension, struggling to survive
Freezing to death in the winter while the government stands by
They don't care about the old but what did you expect?
So here we are - a thin green line
Into the nineties, runnig out of time
Extinction of our planet has already begun but don't let them tell you nothing can be done
Some of us are angry & fighting back
Non-violent direct action is a means of attack
No, we're not giving up without a fight
No nuclar plant here - we're going to trash the site
Gotta be honest, gotta be blunt
If we really want to stop them we've got sab the hunt
Smash that bulldozer, watch the flames go higher
Pull the plug & cut the wire
We get beaten up & send to jail
But I don't care if that's what it takes to save the wales
Save our Earth, save the wilderness land
Are you for us or againts us? Time to make your stand
See that whaling vessel sinking into brine
Taken out by a limpet mine
See those trees standing so tall They've been spiked so they won't fall
See that excavator going up in smoke
Sugar in the petrol tank - that's no joke
Ecosabotage in the dead of night
Are we to go back to the days of victoria
will we so easily surrender the gains we made so far
back to an age of repression hypocrassy and lies
forced into the back streets as another freedom dies
No! no return to the back streets
Christian fundamentalist right wing nutter
claim to respect life soon show their true colours
abortion clinic doctor gunned down in the street
is this the sanctity of life they claimed to belief
No! no return to the back streets
Thousands more will die back street abortion
the bloody human consequenses if we do not resist
the bombings and the terror well what do you think
your future as a breeding sow chained to the kitchen sink
Tore the people from the land
Torched their houses with bloodied hands
Thousands starved or died at sea
A sickening toll of human misery
Broke the old clan system where land was there for all
And once the people had their backs against the wall
The connivance of the church cleared them off the land
"Remember it's God's will so don't try to make a stand"
They made a desert wher trees once stood
Squeezing from the land every penny that they could
Ethnic cleaning of the glens for farming sheep
'Cos that way there's more profit for the rich scum to reap (rape)
"Beautiful bleak moorland?"- I don't think so
This is a place where great forests used to grow
Laid waste by a rich man's greed
Reclaim the land and plant the seed
Yet still every year, seeking their roots
They come from overseas to kiss the boots
Of the clan chief and lick the hand
Of the very people who threw their families off the land
This is nothing more than a sick farce
paying homage to the ruling class
Who, without hesitation, do it all again
Those who forget history to repeat it are condemned
"Gee, Scotland-It's so quaint
All this scenery makes me feel quite
faint
Clan chief looks so good in his kilt
We never think of the blood his family spilt"
"I'm the clan chief o.k. yah
I support Scotland when they play rugger
But an independent country? there I'd draw the line
I own this land it's mine all mine
FUCK YOU, You arrogant prick
You inbred rich bastard, YOU MAKE ME FUCKING SICK
You own fuck all-except in your head
One day the land will be ours-and you'll be dead
I won't beg permission to walk the land they claim to "own"
And I won't pay no fucker to gain access to THE STONES
The rich have stolen and buy and sell our earth
But it belongs to NO ONE-or to all by right of birth
TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND
TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND
TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND
TAKE BACK THE LAND, TAKE BACK THE LAND
Simon Weston is on fire
Can you hear his screams get higher?
Did he really want to burn
So Thatcher's war machine could turn?
Simon Weston
Simon Weston
Simon Weston
AAAAAAARRGGH!
In Malvinas out of luck
Simon says "my face is fucked"
Simon Weston tried to smile
When he met the Prince of Wales
Argy warplanes in the sky
Did he really have to die?
Simon Weston's scarred for life
Resist the atomic menace BY Oi PoLLOi
In March 1984 an old age pensioner by the name of Hilda Murrell was stabbed to death when she surprised an Intruder at her home In Shrewsbury.
The Police treated the Incident as If It was just an ordinary burglary that had gone wrong - but it was not and they knew It. Hilda Murrell was murdered by
the British Nuclear Industry.
A World famous rose grower, Hilda Murrell had been a campaigner for ecological sanity for many years and was In the process of writing a paper on
the dangers of nuclear power to be presented at the Inquiry Into the proposed building of a pressurized water reactor at Sizeweil. This was vital
evidence for those opposing the P.W.R. but after the break-in her final dart was strangely found to be missing. Is It your ordinary burglar that steals
that sort of thing and yet leaves money and other valuables untouched? She died because she saw through their lies
Yet another victim of Britain's nuclear power program the truth behind nuclear power Is grim and stark so they weave a web of lies to keep us In the Dark
British nuclear fuels and the U.K.A.E.A will do anything to silence those who stand in their way
There can be no justification for the use of nuclear power. It leads to widespread contamination of the environment, numerous deaths from cancer and
leukemia and unacceptable restrictions on our few remaining civil liberties - while all the lime cheaper and safer alternatives exists.
Because she realized this and decided to make her stand Hilda Murtefi became the target for a particularly foul and vicious attack. A frail old lady, she
was repeatedly stabbed then dumped In the woods and left to bleed to death.
Are there no depths to which they will not stoop?
If she was not to die in vain
We must resist this atomic menace
Resist this atomic menace
"Every person must submit to the authorities for the existing authorities are instituted by God, consequently anyone who rebels is resisting a divine institution and those who so resist have themselves to thank for the punishment they will receive - for Government has no terrors for good behaviour. You wish to have no fear of the authorities? Then contribute to do right and you will have their approval for they are God's agents working for your good."
Church and state - lies and hate
Religious con goes on and on
Tell the people to serve the rich
Rape the earth - burn the witch
See thourgh the lies and it all becomes clear
Young children's minds poisoned by fear
Of a God who demends you obey
And spend your life forever slaving away
Give to the church with its wealth piled high
While outside the starving millions die
And then they bless you as you're marched off to war
To die for the rich in their struggle for more
"Man shall not lie with man for it is an abomination in the sight of the Lord"
This bigoted crap is fuckin absurd
I'll take a shit on your holy word
Contraception is a sin says the Vatican
Patriarchal bullshit - their God is a man
Witch hunts and crusades - how many millions have died
In the bloody history of church genocide?
Anthropocentric bullshit has had its day
Respect the earth and bring back the old ways
No church and no state - love not hate
Feel the power of the stones and the earth in your bones
We'll be one people, no poor and no rich
I don't want to live in a world of hate
oppression and restriction control by the state
and i don't want to live in a world of war
exploitations and divisions between rich and poor
i just want to live life just want to be free
is it to much to ask for a world of peace
So we try to create a alternative
we look to punk as a way to live
we try to care and help one another
you are my sister and you are my brother
But it seems to me that somethings gone wrong
cos all too often the togetherness is gone
they keep us down when they keep us apart
if they can do that then they've won from the start
All around me i see fighting when we should be uniting
we've got to put a stop to this senseless back biting
i see isolation leads to anger and frustration
when the way forward surly lies in more communication
it lies in more caring it lies in more sharing
it lies in the removing of the mask that were all wearing
we've got to realise and combine the strength within each of us
we've got to come together but have we only got the sus
If you go down in the gardens today you're in for a big surprise
If you go down in the gardens today you won't believe your eyes
'Cos every punk 'n' skin that ever there was
Is there today because because
Today's the day the punx 'n' skins have their picnic!
PICNIC TIME FOR PUNX 'N' SKINS
THE PUNX 'N' SKINS ARE OUT TO HAVE SOME FUN

Park attendants quake with fear

Making new friends and palying the fool

We're here to play Oi! Oi! music for you
And in return here's what we want you to do
Come to our gigs - dance but don't fight
Punx 'n' skins unite! unite!

Do you like our country being run this way?
Doyou like the government? And doing what they say?
Punx 'n' skins together we'll put things to rights
So unite now and put an end to the fights
No punx versus skins no us versus them
If we stand together we'll beat the system
Punx 'n' skins united - You know that it's right
Unite now - Can you see the light?
Oi Rat! Punx 'n' skins have got to unite eh?
Yeah, too right mate
Aye, 'cos if we're united then we can fight back
Against the system eh Ken?
And against government oppression
Yeah that's right - Oi! fancy coming down the pub
For some lager top?
Well I wouldn't mind a pint of merrydown myself
Yeah - And some dry roasted peanuts full of
Mother nature's protein
That's if we don't get lifted on the way down there
What?
Like we might get done by the pigs on the way down
Oh yeah too right mate
Ruin a good night's drinking
They shot innocent 5 year old kid
murdered him in his bed
They beat folk with their truncheons
in the cells till they're dead
Humiliate and strip search you
as a matter of routine
Beat you up behind closed doors
and laugh at your screams
Were taking no more
Were booting down the door
Pigs Pigs Pigs for slaughter [x2]
At the Edinburgh Punx picnic
They were the cause of more grief
While a couple held a young punk down
a third smashed out his front teeth
paid thugs, covards and bullies
They're totally out of hand
so now it's up to you and I
were get to make our stand
Were taking no more
Were booting down the door
Pigs Pigs Pigs for slaughter [x2]
They shot a woman minding her own business
Now wheelchair-bound for life
They try to break your spirit with interrogation
misters nasty and nice
But though they torture and beat you
Don't let the spirit be shaken
Just remember that todays Pig
is tomorrows BACON!!
Were taking no more
Were booting down the door
Pigs Pigs Pigs for slaughter
Radioactive discharge spews forth from wastepipe
It poisons land and sea
It poisons you and me
NO FILTHY NUCLEAR POWER
This filthy stinking waste
They try to tell us it's safe
Try telling that to those dying slowly of leukaemia
And while officials lie
Diseased young children cry
Their changce for full and healthy life has been denied
Our planet's slowly dying
The earth is being abused
Went to a gig for a good night out
But of course it had to be ruined by some moronic louts
We were all looking forward to a good night
When for some stupid reason they started to fight
Picked on some folk and knocked them to the floor
Ten kicking one - oh very hardcore
One poor kid got a bottle down the side of his face
This ain't punk - it's a bloody disgrace
Yet another gig wrecked by the mindless few
Broken heads and toilets is what they're out to do
Yet another gig wrecked by the mindless few
They've got to be stopped and it's up to me and you
For breaking up our concerts who needs the pigs?
When there's idiots like these who smash up our gigs
They gob on the bands and ruin the atmosphere
Well don't come back 'cos you ain't welcome here
Kicked in the toilets and smashed up the chairs
Just another venue with no punk gigs there
And I bet they thought that they were really hard
But the only result's another venue from which punk bands are barred
Oi meathead! So you've smashed up a toilet eh? Hey, you must be really punky! Big hardman eh? But of course
toilets can't fight back can they?
Just like most of the folk you pick on at gigs. They're always weaker than you or else you've go a big crowd of
your mates with you to back you up. Hey! Big hardman! You get your kicks out of smashing up venues and
ruining folks' nights out - moron. Think you're really hard but all you do is close down venues and muck up our
scene. Call yourself a punk or a skin? You're scum. Folk like you make me sick - Pathetic little creep.
Went to another gig out for some fun
But it wasn't long before the trouble had begun
Group of idiots picking on folk on the dancefloor
Punched and kicked 'em about and then did it some more
Well it made me so sick that I couldn't stand back
So I went to help some people fomr the mindless attack
But no one backed me up so then I was kicked about
Danke fur deinen brief
Danke fur die pakete
Danke fur die schokolade
Wir sollten zu weihnachten zu hause sein
AAAAAAAHHH! Meine augen!
Ich kann nicht atmen ich kann nicht sehen
Meine haut - Sie Brennt
Meine Augen - Sie Brennen
Giftgas anschlag ohne warnung
AAAAAAAHHH! Meine augen!
Achtung! Giftgas!
Wo ist - Wo ist meine maske?
Ich kann nicht sehen
Gott in himmel - Hilf mir!
Liber Karl!
Wir sind alle so stolz auf dich
Der Kaiser sagt dass der sieg bald unser sein wird
Es ist eine ehre fur Deutschland zu kampfen...
AAAAAAAHHH! Meine augen!
Meine augen - Es ist so dunkel
Wo - Wo seid ihr?
Spreading lies and muck behind our backs
A vicious cowardly attack
A spiteful scheming slimeball with a huge ego
Your pathetic negative actions make me want to throw
I can't belive the depths to which you've sunk
You've got some nerve to call yourself a punk
But you'll pay for your trouble making and your deceit
For as ye sow so shall ye reap
You make me sick - You make me sick
You're the lowest of the low - lowest of the low
You've sunk so low down you've got nowhere to go
You pass by the pickets on the front gate
You don't care that you're letting down your mates
I don't know how you dare to show your face
Scum like you are a disgrace
Deserting your mates sucking up to the boss
Has all your self respect been lost?
You're only thinking of the money thinking of yourself
Well you're a dirty scab and you can go to hell
You dirty scab - You dirty scab
Well now you really must take the prize
You must be so warped and twisted inside
To actually grass someone up to the pigs
You wanted me in front of the judge in his wig
You fingered me for that crime
You stinking piece of slime
Scum like you are just the pits
There's ony one description that fits
You have no soul you have no heart
You'd chase an animal to see it torn apart
Blood junky you're full of shit
You want a kicking? you'll fuckin' get it
Sick perverts dressed in red
We won't rest until your "sport" is dead
Sick bastards dressed in red
We won't rest until your sort is dead
A child's face is smeared with blood
A torn corpse is lying in the mud
This your tradition is fuckin' sick
We're gonna stop you, you fuckin' inbred prick
Sick perverts dressed in red
We won't rest until your "sport" is dead
Sick bastards dressed in red
We won't rest until your sort is dead
Sab is ridden down by rich toff
Masonic handshake soon gets him off
We won't sit back and take this shit
Into the field and put an end to it
"The saboteurs, in my opinion. They are a very good example of their name they are saboteurs - And I quite accept everybody's right to their opinion and to demonstrate - but to actually endanger and harass and throw stones and threaten and use abusive language - that has to be stopped."
So sab the hunt you know you should
'Cos don'r forget! They'd hunt us if they could
We'll take their thugs, put 'em in the ditch
We'll save the fox and then we'll hunt the rich
HUNT THE RICH!
Nicaragua once suffered under a fascist regime,
but the people brought it down 'cos they had a dream
A dream that they could live in freedom from fear
But then the U.S.-Government had to interfere!
Americans out, Americans out!
Hear the people scream, hear the people shout
Americans out, Americans out!
We've got to fight the US interference with Nicaragua
U.S.-backed contras, right wing murdering scum
Fight to stop the country falling under their thumb!
They've tortured civilians, even murdered nuns
And they do it with American money and guns
Americans out, Americans out!
Hear the people scream, hear the people shout
Americans out, Americans out!
We've got to fight the US interference with Nicaragua
CIA murderers maim and kill
I think Reagan must be mentally ill
A dangerous nutter crazed with power
He's dragging us all nearer to our final hour
Americans out, Americans out!
Hear the people scream, hear the people shout
Americans out, Americans out!
Cops kill youth at the station
Riot breaks out at the demonstration
You get nicked for doing a pig
Senile rich scumbag in a judges wig
Says
GUILTY - Of fighting back
GUILTY - Of a vicious attack
GUILTY - Of standing your ground
GUILTY - you're going down
B.N.P. scum march on your street
A fascist threat that we must meet
Bricked and bottled they're soon stopped
But now you're standing in the dock
GUILTY - Of taking no more
GUILTY - Of defying their law
GUILTY - See the judge's frown
GUILTY - You're going down
Cancer research - lies and fraud
Vivisection lab - booted down the door
Trashed the place till there's nothing left
Victory to the A.L.F.!
GUILTY - Of daring to care
GUILTY - So you better beware
GUILTY - Free animals from hell
GUILTY - Your reward is a cell
Coming out the wine bar - rich scumbag in a bowler
You take his money and trash his Roller
Stinking rich parasite flaunts his wealth
While you're living on the pavement in hunger and ill health
Yet it's you who gets locked up - your crime is being poor
Another prisoner of the class war
Rotting in a prison - social control
For those of us in poverty and on the dole
I said, I said who's next? It could be you or me
Support the prisoners - support the A.B.C.
Don't forget those on the inside
We must give them all the support that we can provide
Motorway planned through ancient wood
S.S.S.I.s could be lost for good
In defence of our earth you strike on night
Blazing vehicles burning bright
GUILTY - Of defending the earth
GUILTY - Yours by right of birth
GUILTY - Now you're doing time
GUILTY - Who commits the real crime?
Yes we're guilty - guilty and proud
Guilty of standing out from the crowd
Guilty of caring - or just being poor
To resist is our duty when injustice is law
GUILTY - Hate your laws and your system
GUILTY - We're gonna resist them
GUILTY - And if some get caught
Governments and multinationals
Corrupt and twisted women and men
Are going to bring this planet
To a premature end
With their selfishness and greed
They destroy anything of worth
Are you just going to sit and watch
Their rape of mother earth?
They just could't care less
About the ecological devastation
Inflicted by their insane striving
For profit maximisation
We've got to fight back
We've got to give resistance
Or they'll pollute and exploit
Our world out of existance
Industrial accidents and radiation leaks
So babies are born as freaks
Like the Re-Chen babies with one eye
Or those who Windscale called before their time
And the petrol is full of lead
So kids grow up wrong in the head
And aerosols destroy the ozone layer
No protection - no we're layed bare
And nuclear waste is dumped into the sea
A slow poison for you and me
And what was once fertile land
Has now turned to desert sand
And acid rain pours from the sky
So whole forests wither and die
And dirty cities grey and drab
Cover theyland like concrete scabs
And toxic chemicals are pumped into streams
Death where once life would have been
The whole situation has got out of hand
So go green and make your stand
And it seems you couldn't care less
That our earth is in such a mess
It makes me wonder how long it will take
Before you finally awake
Please, please you got to open your eyes
'Cos you've got to realise
Exactly what those in power got planned
This is the last chance to make your stand
Now that we see what's going on
We've got to stop them and we aint got long
This isn't something just to sing about
Slavishly conform
To the system's norms
And if you know what's best
Don't stand out from the rest
Sheeplike mentality
Oppressing you and me
Braindead fools
Taunted you at school
But gingerheads are good in bed
And carrot tops know how to rock
Conformist system we must smash
Hear our rockin' readhead thrash
The abuse and ridicule of those
Of different physical appearance is symptomatic
Of a sick system bent on enforcing
Conformity and suppressing the individual
Ginger Liberation
For kids of all nations
Open your eyes wide
Strike a blow for redhead pride
Sticks and standing stones
Arrests and broken bones
Peoples' homes destroyed
Vicious thugs employed
By rulers alienated
From an earth they've devastated
Surround our temple with barbed wire
But in our hearts there burns a fire (to)
Free the Henge Free the Henge
Our culture is attacked
Our right are violated
I say its time to end
The restrictions they've created
Free the Henge Free the Henge
For thousands of years Stonehenge has been a sacred meeting place for people - Furthermore in 1918 it was gifted to the nation the then "owner" on the condition that there sholud be free access for all who wished to gather there so what gives you the right, the power to decide that the people's access to the stones will be denied? We won't be stopped by cops, four miles "exclusion zones" 'cos we're coming through to liberate the stones
Free the Henge Free the Henge
The time will come again
When we'll be at Henge
To feel the Earthpower
At the solstice houre
Free the Henge Free the Henge
Free the Henge Free the Henge
Winter solstice 1988 - Stonehenge - Bands playing, jugglers juggling, people breathing fire, gathering wood in the trees as the music echoed through the night air, laughing, sitting round the campfire talking and sharing food and drink - An amazingly friendly atmosphere - In the morning, gathering before dawn at the stones, dancing round the stone circle hand in hand - A little magic in the midst of our grey, drab world of concrete and exhaust fumes...
Summer solstice 1989 - Riot police, road-blocks, coming up against the full force of the state, chased through woods by the cops, hiding in the ditches while helicopter searchlights sliced through darkness to find us, fear, anger, determination - That they will not beat us, that they will not destroy our culture... A response: If they think they can stop us gathering together for free festivals they are wrong. Our response to our experiences was just to come and organise a free festival on Cramond Island near Edinburgh.
Hey there Mr. Kipling
Exceedingly good cakes?
You're a dealer in death
Your cost image is a fake
MR. KIPLING - DEATH DEALER!
MR. KIPLING - LIFE STEALER!
We ask you this question
How many creatures must die
To provide the animal fat
For your apple pie?
In the slaughterhouse
The cattle scream and bleed
Animals condemneded to death
By the corporate greed
That fuels war and exploitation
And steals the earth from all of us
But now your rotting facade is crumbling
I want to have a drink I want to have a laugh
I don't want no dodgy politics 'cos I ain't that daft
Don't need some nutter telling me what to do
I can think for myself and so can you
Commies and nazis they're all the same
They only want to use you for their own gain
They lie deceive and try to confuse you
Commies and nazis they only want to use you
Right wing nutters spreading race hate
Communist loonies who want a one party state
Their extremist views are all too clear
Commies and nazis you're not wanted here
Commies and nazis what a shower
They only want to use you to grab themselves power
But once they got it they don't care about you
Commies and nazis give 'em the boot!
COMMIES AND NAZIS - OI!
COMMIES AND NAZIS - ON YER BIKE!
A fascist government you're almost better off dead!
And it would be much the same under the reds
More police more laws more prisons and the draft
That ain't exactly my idea of a laugh
And when there's no fun no freedom no future
Is marching round in jackboots really going to suit you
Or going on your parade waving your red flag
If you're into that rubbish then you must be mad
Commies and nazis try it on with us
But we tell them where to go 'cos we've got more sus
Than to be taken in by these scum we despise
Commies and nazis we can see through your lies
Commies and nazis they've got to be stopped
They only want to use you to get to the top
But once they're there they don't care about you
They only want to give you orders and tell you what to do
Commies and nazis try it on with you
But these people are plonkers they ain't got a clue
Try to flog your papers full of drivel and lies
Well I'm asking you now is it any surprise
That these people and their ideas are so despised
When they've nothing to offer to you and I
They only want to use you as their tools
So tell 'em where to go if you know what's good for you
But if you think that it's smart, hard, or hip
To be a commie or nazi then mate get a grip
You don't want to be taken in by none of that drivel
Commies and nazis sit and swivel!
We ain't thick and we won't play your game
Our message to you will always be the same
Commies and nazis go take a hike!
As a black night fast approaches dawn
We gather in mist by the gnomon
As the stones are struck by the suns first rays
We feel the Earthpower in our veins
The awesome power that fills the stone
We feel it in our minds and bones
And as we dance around the ring
Joy fills our souls - We start to sing
Old power awakened and growing fast
An awesome force from deep in the past
But there are those who do not understand
And the stones are desecrated
By their hands.
One such group of stones facing desecration at the hands of these people is the standing stone complex at Callanish on the Isle Of Lewis in Scotland. Sometimes referred to as the "Stonehenge of the North", this unique arrangment of stones is facing the same kind of rape that happened at Stonehenge. There are now plans afoot to construct a hideous unsightly visitor centre there this ruining the whole aura of the place - along with the plans to build a bigger road and even to charge an admission fee. Who are these people who in their arrogance that they can deny the people access to our owntemples? Stone circles belong to all of us not simply to the powers that be. Remember: These are same people who seriously considered carpetting Stonehenge with astroturf and even considered constructing a plastic replica "foamhenge" beside real monument! Such people are not fit guardians of these places. Free the stones. Free the stones.
United we stand, divided we fall
skins and punks rally to the call
now's the time to change this land
and it's your duty to lend a hand
We gotta boot down, boot down, boot down the door
Smash their oppression - smash their law! [x2]
Those in the power have had their own way too long
it's our duty to put right what they put wrong
We've got to put an end to their wars and their laws
and their taking of decicions behind closed doors
We gotta boot down, boot down, boot down the door
Smash their oppression - smash their law! [x2]
There's so much more life than violence, greed and hate
We must put them behind us before it's too late
cos the end is getting nearer day by day
But you know it doesn't have to be that way
We gotta boot down, boot down, boot down the door
Smash their oppression - smash their law! [x2]
We gotta boot, gotta boot, gotta boot down the door
Nineteen nineties and the nazis are back
Family burnt out in an arson attack
Children lying in hospital dying of their burns
It's about time that everyone learns (to)
BASH - BASH THE FASH!
Germany in the thirties was the same
A life or death struggle - not some kind of game
Learn at least the basics of some martial art
Then you'll be ready when the aggro starts
B.N.P. scum marching on your street
They even get elected when they should get beat
Beat off the streets that belong to us
You won't stop them with chants and placards so just
First they came for the Jews
And I did nothing to help them because I was not a Jew
Then they came for the communists
And I did nothing to help them because I was not a communist
Next they came for the trade unionists
And I did nothing to help them because I was not a trade unionist
And then they came for me
And there was no one left to help me
Adolf Hitler himself said that the only way the rise of the German nazi party could have been prevented was if its
enemies had recognised it for what it was right at the start and had smashed it in its infancy with utmost force.
For once we would agree with him - waving placards and chanting at fascists through megaphones
accomplishes absolutely nothing. The only way to stop nazi scum like the B.N.P. is by physically confronting
them and literally kicking them off our streets.
Nazi falls amidst a hall of fists and feet
Stomping out the rhythm of the cable street beat
With our boots on the scumbag's head
The only good nazi is one that's dead
A.F.A. girls and boys block the fash escape route
Now we've got them cornered and they're gonna eat boot
Trying to escape but they just can't manage
Arrested - beaten black and blue
Confession - beaten out of you
You didn't do it - but you still get the cell
In prison - institiutionalised hell
23 houres - banged up day and night
Beatings - given out left and right
By the screws who want to put you down
Degradation - they rub your face in the ground
How many are imprisoned for a crime they didn't do
Don't think for one minute that it couldn't be me or you
So if you feel you're tempted to just ignore this song
Put yourself in their place and write to right the wrong
How many thousands of people all around the globe are imprisoned for crimes they never commited? How many more for their political beliefs? Or simply because they have fallen foul of vicious, opressive legal systems that serve only to protect the wealthy and powerful elite? What is perhaps the cruellest blow of all to these people is when those of us on the outside simply sit back and allow them to rot in the cells. Organisations like Amnesty International and The Anarchist Black Cross have shown that, by using our collective strength, we can get out many of these people. There is no excuse for inaction. At the time of recording, Martin Foran is on hungerstrike and John Perotti is on fast to death - How many more lives must be screwed up and wasted before we face up to our responsibilities and work to support our sisters and brothers in captivity?
Glued to the screen you sit and vegetate
A model citizen in a police state
Pumped so full of rubbish that you don't see
You'r getting a cathode ray lobotomy
Bread and circuses, Government lies
Turn off the TV before your eyes
Bread and circuses, Government lies
Trash the TV before your brain dies
Your work is a prison, you'll live in a box
Kept isolated so their boat never rocks
Neighbours down the street who you never greet
Just stay inside, watch the box and keep off the street
Brainwashing and distraction to keep us all apart
If we're going to beat them then we've got to make a stand
To unite and combine the strength that we've all got
Capitalist wanker - neat idea
Increase profits, sell more beer
Company announce music sponsorship
Just a cheap ad for their fuckin' shit
Tennents Live - parasites
Tennents Live - Fuck you
You can't buy our energy, you can't buy our anger
We're not the puppets of some big business wanker
So greedhead, you're out of luck
You cough - they profit
Well i thought it was about mutual respect
But your filthy smoke chokes me so am i incorrect?
With your pathetic sick habit you pollute my air
Have you no respect for others?
No, you just don't seem to care
I don't like your selfish attitude one little bit
You're just a hypocrite
Animals die in the laboratory
Forced to smoke over thirty a day
Don't think you can ignore them 'cos they got no voice
Cause only you can stop it - only you have the choice
Like it or not, they've murdered in your name
While you continue to smoke you must live with the blame
You think you're oh so sussed but there's something that you've missed
And the big tobacco businessmen are laughing at this
Yes, you actually pay to ruin your health
While you suckers abuse your body
They're just making more wealth
You cough - they profit
You choke - they profit
You die - they profit
You cough - they profit
Have you got the strength of will to stop it?
STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT
I know you've got the strength of will to stop it.
Willie was a fighter, Willie was no fool
Willie fought to end Westminster rule
Rule by scum who thought it would be best
To use the Highlands for atomic bomb test
Willie McRae
Willie McRae
Willie McRae
Plans to use Scotland as a nuclear dump site
Willie said, "Resist! Stand up and fight!"
He tried to save our children from a toxic fate
So Willie was murdered by the nuclear state
Willie McRae
Willie McRae
Willie McRae
Secret police shot Willie in the head
Another Hilda Murrell, another activist dead
For anti-nuclear protest in this "land of the free"
For saying, "Alba out of G.B.!"
Willie McRae
Willie McRae
Willie McRae
No right to free speech, no right to protest
Remember Karen Silkwood and Chico Mendes
And countless others killed for what they had to say
When two men kiss
Walk hand in hand
The fear of what
You don't understand
Explodes into violence
Screams break the silence
"The guy was a poof"
"The guy was queer"
Dehumanised
And living in fear
No, you're not thick
And you say they're sick
But the only sickness
I can see
Is the cancer of
Your bigotry
What kind of society do we live in where the simple act of showing love and affection towards another human being results in this kind of sickening murderous violence? Intolerance, bigotry and hate - I say it's time to stop.
Kurds in iraq death gas attack
chocking death pain from saddam hussein
Victims of a gas attack
Choke in a ditch die for the rich
mustard gassed squaddie blistered dead body
Victims of a gas attack
No i wont fight might isnt right
Oi! Oi! Oi! Unite and win
Stick together - Punx 'N' Skins!
Oi! Oi! Oi! Unite Unite!
Young and old, black and white
Oi! Oi! Oi! Unit eand win
Stick together through thick and thin
Oi! Oi! Oi! Unite Unite!
You wouldn't believe the pain
That's tearing trough my head
If you were in my place
Then you'd wish you were dead
Locked in a cage like a prison cell
Im living in a living hell
All around screams of fear
But they fall upon def ears
[Chorus:]
Why won't they leave me in peace?
Is death really my only release
No!
Tortured to death behind closed doors
Cries for help are just ignored
Set me free!
Please!If it were you instead of me
You'd screaming to be set free
Set us free!
Please!Animal liberation and human rights
It's one struggle - it's one fight
Set us free!Please!
[chorus]
And now they're coming back
To stick me on the rack
To put me through pain
They'll drive me insane
They put their profit before my pain
My suffering is their financial gain
And you know this ain't right
So show you care about my plight
[chorus]
Is death really the only release?
[chorus]
One, Two, Three, Four - Kick down that laboratory door
Five, Six, Seven, Eight - LIBERATE
Oi! Oi!
Dug my fuckin' shit-pit
I had to spend a penny
I had to blag some diesel
For the fuckin' genny
Now we're skinning up
This gear is fuckin' beezer
Have you got a quid for some diesel, geezer?
T.H.C.
Scored some good grass
And it was fuckin' great
Toking on a bong in our Mercedes 508
Someone said the vigies
Vigies were on site
But we just went on tokin'
Tokin' thru the nite
T.H.C.
Dahn at 'anging Langford
Sitting in our bender
Stones out of our heads
Discussing the politics of gender
Things were getting heavy
The pigs wanted revenge
We told them to smoke the herb
Nuclear energy is a con
It's just a cover for making their bombs
And it sends people to an early grave
So we want the power of the wind and the waves
[Chorus:]
Harness the wind
Harness the waves
We don't need this filthy nuclear waste
Solar power - yet another alternative
Think of the boundless energy the sun has to give
Then there's hydro-electricity with turbines and dams
And we can out our consumption with conservation programmes
[Chorus:]
Harness the wind
The sun and the waves
We don't need this filthy nuclear waste
The civil atomic energy programmes
is nothing but an elaborate cover-up for the real use of nuclear power
namely the production of fissile materials for nuclear weapons
We call for an end to the nuclear power programmes and properly
funded research into renewable sources of energy
[chorus:]
Harness the wind
The sun and the waves
He doesn't know her name
She doesn't know his name
He ain't got a wife
She don't fuckin' have much of a life
Sex with strangers
She's gonna take him home
They ain't gonne be alone
She's got a son
The sun shines out of his fuckin' bum
Sex with strangers
What she wants is a movie star
All she gets is the back of a car
He tells her anything at all
I remember when you said you cared
And that you would never be ensnared
By the mortgage and the 9 to 5
Dumb existence in the human hive
So was that really all just a pose?
Your beliefs no deeper than your clothes?
Come on then - prove me wrong
I should've never had to write this song
Turned your back on your old life
Does everyone really have their price?
What about all the things for which we fought?
Are we all so easily bought?
Do you remember when you said you cared
And that you would never be ensnared
By the lure of the music biz
'Cos you were doing it all "for the kids"
Now that just seems like so many hollow lies
You've become what you said you despised
We can see from the dancefloor
Dealers selling smack that will ruin your brain
And bring you nothing but misery and pain
Teenage adicts dying - that's hardly very funny
But the dealers are laughing as they pocket the money
BRING THEM DOWN - RUN THEM OUT OF TOWN
They'll screw up your body and they'll screw up your mind
But as long as they're making money they think that's fine
They just don't care as long as they gain
Folk dying of the aids outrage well that's just part of their game
There ain't nothing that they won't do
They want to make a junkie out of you
So when the dealers come your way
You've got to make them pay
Find the scum, bring them down
Run the dealers out of your town
Smack the pushers - Oi! Oi! Oi!
Swarming over the fence in droves
We're gonna stop this road
Handcuffed to the machinery
In defence of beautiful greenery
People come from far and near
To stop the road right here
Earthmovers trashed in the dead of night
It's time to stand up and fight
Reclaim the streets
Reclaim the land
No more roads
It's in your hands
Lying down in front of the bulldozer
A courageous young girl shows her
Determination to see It through
An inspiration to me and you
To stop this road to destruction
Put an end to motrway construction
From Kernow up to Caledonia
In the spirit of Wastonia
No more roads - cars kill
No more roads - make you ill
No more roads - cars kill
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Standing outsides the primary school gates
With their leaflets stirring up race hate
Creeping round in the dead of night
Setting innocent people's houses alight
They stab and kill in radical attacks
Just how much more before ypu fight back?
Find them - Grind them - Grind them!!
Nazi scum - your time will come
A nazi rally planned for our town
But anti-fascists came from all around
Cleared the scum completely off the streets
Showed the fascists can and will be beat
And when they tryied to to gather in Hyde Park
Anti-fascists again made their mark
On the brainhead boneheads - Who they wasted
We must clear the streets of nazi scum
Make them safe again for everyone
No longer will we have to walk in fear
Of scum who have no place here
If we unite the battle can be won
Stop the problem before it's really begun
Find them - Grind them - Grind them!!
You come to the gig
And you think you're really big
but to me you just look small
As you cover the back of the ball
Lacking even the guts to get up the front and dance
It's enough to make me cry
Are you punx or mice?
[Chorus:]
Are you punx or mice?
They cheat you, they rob you
And they treat you all as fools
And yet you sit and take it
Are you going to give up without a fight?
Are you punx or mice?
[chorus]
They're sick, they're wrong
They've oppressed us for too long
Now it's our turn to attack
We must fight back
United, as one, together - you and i
Don't say we cant do it
Are you punx or mice
You resurrect the corpse of war
You take the food from the poor
You kill this planet, mine by birth
Your death machines stalk the earth
You create famine for starving millions
Your air attacks upon civilians
Your state police to make us bleed
You are the leech of corporate greed
And you will suck the planet dry
As long as those who care stand by
Not long now till all has died
We watch the global omnicide
MARCH AGAINST MULTINATIONALS
The gulf war we now see portayed on our TV screens like some obscene video game is the inevitable
consequence of the greed of big business and a system which sees all life as subordinate to profit, a system which has countless hapless men and women brainwashed, then burned, maimed and blown apart on the battlefield.
Like pawns to some fast sickening chessgame.
NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR
Your system - stench of death
Omnicide - earth's dying breath
Fight back - don't stand by
Left school at sixteen to become a banker
Well he can just fuck off - fuckin tory wanker
JOHN MAJOR - FUCK YOU
Thinks he's fuckin hard but he'd be out of luck
If he came to one of our gigs he'd get kicked to fuck
JOHN MAJOR - FUCK YOU
"Classless society"? - what a load of toss
Fuckin rich scumbag - you can just fuck off
JOHN MAJOR - FUCK YOU
Put to death in flames and smoke
You were used as a scapegoat
Troubles blamed upon the witch
When they should've really burned the rich
No! Bon't burn the witch
Burn, burn the rich!
Get down onn your knees in their church
Your refused and worcshipped the earth
They tried to stamp out all you stood for
Wise woman power and herbal lore
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live"
Inquisition in the middle ages
Phallocentric Christian outrages
Thare oare those who'd bring back those days
Don't let the right-wing Christian nutters have their way
No! Don't burn the witch
I asked them why the wilderness had to die
Their replay to me showed the reason was naked greed.
Mass action could stop them - But you've got to start it
World Park status for the Antarctica.
They rape and plunder whatever they find - Sea polluted and minerals mined. Poisoned animals slowly die as they suck Antarctica dry.
Cumoan chris - Gie it laldy ya raj!!
And the factory ships set sail - A death sentence for the whale
And as the sea turns to red yet more life blood is shed.
Park proposals are greeted with mirth by those who rape our Earth
So will you really just stand by and watch the last great wilderness die?
