Lyrics

The house Looks for an answer to end all the violence The ungovernable finally break silence There's endless white papers, and new institutions That still won't stop us, it's no solution The right and the left wing continue to bore With pre-dated policies all heard before This is mankind now see how mankind kills We're hitting back hard now you see how it feels They teach and preach examination tests So the political privelaged can order the rest Of the young parasites Who live in a world without hope To get back in line, and stay there Then assure us they'll cope In the new violent Brirtain they pledge to invest In skills and communities with renewed interest To build schools of education Not colleges of crime A manifesto so perfcetly timed Providing help for the helpless Their new commissions strive For a stable re-educated society by 1995 Meanwhile, we fight on in desparation Still trying to break through Their barriers of insanity and even now they know it's true That to irradicate violence effectively Injustice has to unfold But, instead they choose to compensate, to lie and Then collaborate, no interest in any true debate Their courts set up the offenders fate, the new Secure units for the old custodial sentence Well we have listened to you for long enough Taken all your threats, and you ain't so tough You intimidate, then punish the persistent hard-core offender You condemn more and understand less You'll get no apologies ever In an atmosphere of moral panic You blame us for fighting back But it's us that's been dragged through your streets backwards Battered shell-shocked and attacked The pressure's building on law and order But we ain't even started They may think they have been tested But no way for we still stand divided More and more we're turning against our own How come? How have we forgot? That this is the one thing they want us to do To compensate For the freedom that we ain't got Some mug old folks and these are SCUM It's the one main thing that just ain't done We can deal perfectly with our own problems By taking the law in to our own hands We can protect our own, young, the weak, and Elderly, and therefore smash their callous plans I shall not work to build my death Nor have decisions madeby fools For my or your behalf As though I can't see or hear Of that which surrounds me As though I'm quite content With all that, that disgusts me I will not build for another's gain Although it always ends up the same It's as though I can't see or hear As though I'm content With everything that disgusts me How can they talk about low life? Whilst they're destroying the earth? How can they take away someone's freedom? When they don't know what it's worth To the people with feelings To those not totally succeeding Those, shattered, torn, ripped right in half And whose broken hearts are bleeding Yet still they bash and batter To them, man onslaught, does not matter They create society's whitewashed picture That everything is alright Then when people voice opinion, and object They show disgust, confusion and then demonstrate Their might Don't you dare think for a moment, that it's only in a Riot that we show we're discontent It's in every so called criminal act That we demonstrate our contempt You shove your outstanding promises, your respect I only have respect for the life That you destroy time and time and time again I'm still hoping for the hopeless And making excuses for the lawless
