Lyrics

ATTENTION. Fuck American power. Fuck Russian power. Fuck British power Fuck all power ATTENTION. These ignorant shits arm themselves for annihilation and call it world peace Bollocks Pacified. Classified Keep in line. You're doing fine Lost your voice? There ain't no choice Play the game. Silent and tame Be the passive observer, sit back and look At the world they destroyed and the peace that they took Ask no questions, hear no lies And you'll be living in the comfort of a fool's paradise You're already dead, you're already dead You're already dead, you're already dead If you're the passive observer, here's a message for you You're already dead, You're already dead Afraid to do what you know you should do... You're already dead, You're already dead The world's at the edge of nuclear destruction But your too afraid to make the connection You still believe the system's there for your protection... You're already dead, You're already dead You're already dead, you're already dead You're already dead, you're already dead By letting it happen without a fight... You're already dead, You're already dead With your endless debates about wrong and right... You're already dead, You're already dead Nothing's going to change if you're not prepared to act There's no point complaining after the fact Content to be a number, branded X and neatly packed... You're already dead, You're already dead You're already dead, You're already dead You're already dead, You're already dead Four hundred thousand people marched for CND... They're already dead, They're already dead Unless they're willing to act on what they can see... They're already dead, They're already dead If each and every one of us was prepared to fight for more To stand against the system that creates the need for war The elite would have to run like it's never run before... They're already dead, They're already dead They're already dead, They're already dead They're already dead, They're already dead We don't need organising Or politicians being patronising We don't need their leadership Trendy lefties being hip Don't need their condescension Or their back to root pretension We've heard it all before Politicians saying "No more war" Pulling wool across our eyes We don't need their dangerous lies We won't accept capitulation It's just manipulation They want the smooth without the rough But words and gestures aren't enough We've got to learn to reject all leaders And the passive shit they feed us... They're already dead, They're already dead They're already dead, They're already dead If you think moderation's going to pave the way to peace... You're already dead, You're already dead What good is moderation 'gainst the army and police? You're already dead, You're already dead We're not promoting mindless violence, keep that for the fools We're simply saying be prepared to break their laws and rules Let them know the bigger they come, the harder they will fall... They're already dead, They're already dead They're already dead, They're already dead They're already dead, They're already dead If they're going to play it dirty, so are we... They're already dead, They're already dead They can keep their lies about the land of the free... They're already dead, They're already dead We've allowed them too often to use their iron fist But there's one little detail they appear to have missed... You don't have to be PASSIVE just because you're a PACIFIST... They're already dead, They're already dead They're already dead, They're already dead They're already dead, They're already dead They'll try to sell their system Like it's some kind od age-old wisdom But we've been had like that before It's just the rich exploiting the poor Well here's an honest confession We think it's time they learnt a lesson They've tried to hold the people down But we've simply gone underground Moving in the darkness looking for the light Looking for a future and ready to fight Looking for the freedom that's been denied Fast to attack and fast to hide In a world where the people can't make it They've simply got to learn to break it And if the wealthy aren't prepared to shake it... O.K., we'll simply have to take it... You're already dead, You're already dead You're already dead, You're already dead You're already dead, You're already dead You're already dead, You're already dead...
