Wait put your life on hold
Sit down and do what your told
Forget what you wanted that dreams been sold
Melt yourself down now
Fit in a mold
Forget who you are what you wanted to say
Forget that your time is drifting away
You're here to serve at the end of the day
Take a number get in line now do as they say
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down
Screw you pal I'm gonna live my life
looking down at them from the edge of a knife
If the risks are there then they're mine to take
no need to make it as long as I'm not fake
One of a kind there's no mold for me
Let me do my thing and I'll leave you be
Just because it's on the BBC
Don't mean it's true what do you see
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down
It's all smoke and mirrors
Yeah we're all sinners
You've had more pills
Than you've had school dinners
Your head's smashed up
You got a taste for the grinners
More powder on your face than Windy Milllers
You need the bass
You love the rave
You want the girls
Who don't behave
You feel alright
You're good to fight
Stick with the plan
Coz you're the man
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down
Stop look listen yeah we're keeping it real
Taking notes with a dissident feel
Pinch of salt
Propagander report
Anti-propagander is a similar sort
Watching people watching the box
Need electric drug detox
Dirty laundry public slating
The more the shame the better the ratings
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down
What! You can't dumb us
You can't dumb us down
What! You can't dumb us
Can't dumb us down down

We Got the Fire

He's a faceless man
He's got his teeth
He's got his tan
He's got his Mercedes his bride to be
He's pick of the in crowd clan
He's got his Rolex on his wrist
He's got his armies to assist
If he don't like what you're doing
You'll cease and you'll desist
Coz he's not a crim like you
He can do what he wants to do
He's got money in his wallet
People in his pocket
He don't pay his dues
And if the taxman is a headache
Then he'll make him go away
Coz he's got lots of lawyers
To make sure that they don't pay yea
You'll find him in his Bentley
With his driver at the wheel
Blacked out windows
He's in the back checking out what he can steal
You don't look so tasty
With your needs and your addictions
T.V adverts grind you down
And shopping cures afflictions
So they say the worlds not ours
But yes the world is ours
They've got flags all over the map
And next they'll start on Mars
Give you drinks to rot your brain
Sell cigarettes to kids
Who put toxins in your cola
Got the highest bids yea!
Huh!!
Hear us now
Dissidents
Turn the tunes up loud
Feel the bass
Hear the sound
See us standing proud
We're the generation it's time to take it higher
Their toxic waste is flammable
And we got the fire
(repeat)
He's sitting in his corner office
High up in the clouds
He's playing on his console
While he puppeteers the crowds
Down below they are so small
They look like little ants
He's laughing like a maniac
They carry out his plans
Well he's scoring bonus points
While he gets them more in debt
He transfers points into arms
And he'll raise the terror threat
He finds a secret level and invents a new disease
End of level big bad boss and thinks hang on that's me yea
He's immune from the law
With his five star drug abuse
While he medicates the masses
Coz their lives feel so obtuse
Down below the tower
The battle it still rages
Crack and Meth make reasons
To put them all in cages
The continuous meat market
The never ending flow
To keep the prisons beds full
To make the market grow
Then he'll disappear to thin air
Because he is not real
Just conspiracy theory
Now get back on your wheel yea
HUH!!
Hear us now
Dissidents
Turn the tunes up loud
Feel the bass
Hear the sound
See us standing proud
We're the generation it's time to take it higher
Their toxic waste is flammable
And we got the fire

Busking tunes on a busy street
That's our beat it ain't no cheat
Finding tourists is so moreish
When their dollar is the surest
Stealing diesel
Naughty weasel
We are peaceful
If not legal
Move those wheels
Do some deals
Pull some cash out of the trash
Got a hatter he's a blagger
Brings in money with his chatter
We drink cheap wine keeps us in time
Coz we just can't walk the line
Got a hatter he's a blagger
Brings in money with his chatter
Breathing fire all is fair
Just don't set light to your hair
Here come the council guns
They wanna move us on
We ain't blagging there's a tourist in our midst
They think they make the rules
But this is our freedom
It's our lives we don't think they get the gist
These are the streets that made us
It's where we hone our skills
They sit pretty in the city
While we provide the thrills
(repeat)
We're thrill seeking
Fire breathing
Club juggling
Pavement skanking
Cop rattling
Rule battling
Street hanging
Drum banging
Guitar strumming
Substance running
Party plotters
Dirty squatters
Booze drinking
Free thinking
Mother fucking gutter punks
Drink and natter
Then we scatter
When the police come with their blatter
We gotta go go do a street show
Make some money don't be slow
Drink and natter
Then we scatter
When the police come with their blatter
We eat skip food that's our fast food
Keeps our bellies in a good mood
Here come the council guns
They wanna move us on
We ain't blagging there's a tourist in our midst
They think they make the rules
But this is our freedom
It's our lives we don't think they get the gist
These are the streets that made us
It's where we hone our skills
They sit pretty in the city
While we provide the thrills

I get to work at 9am it's clocking time
Sit my desk computer on I'm straight online
Look at someone’s data and I dial a number
Sorry Sir what's that did I disturb your slumber
What we got to sell em is a load of shit
It's a blag it's a con and they don't want it
All I seem to get is abuse all day
Selling my soul for minimum pay
You better lock me up coz my mind is gone
Something snapped in my head my thoughts are wrong
I wanna come to work with a homemade bomb
Yeah you better lock me up coz my mind is gone
(repeat)
This place is making me feel really sad
Digital anxiety is sending me mad
Invading people daily using information
Brought from you by parasites
Selling the nation
You got your targets written on the walls
It's a made up job you treat us all like fools
You know what gets me to 5 o clock...
Imagining blowing up the fucking lot
You better lock me up coz my mind is gone
Something snapped in my head my thoughts are wrong
I wanna come to work with a homemade bomb
Yeah you better lock me up coz my mind is gone
(repeat)

Save the Attitude
04:21
|

This is getting far too heated
Yea we need to calm it down
All this stuff can be deleted
We don't need to have this row
We argue over money
We argue over turf
We get so confused and
We don't know what life's worth
If we don't sort it out then
We are gonna drown coz
We are not the people
Who are taking us down
Save the attitude for someone who needs it
It aint gonna be me
We live
We fight
We love
We lie
But we're not the enemy
(repeat)
Ego's getting you confused
And your clarity is gone
The way you like to fight your battles
Means you're getting it all wrong
You need to be one up
You think you can't loose face
But if we crash and burn then
You know there's no more race
And we're all family
Weather you like it or not
And if we work together
Then we might come out on top
Save the attitude for someone who needs it
It aint gonna be me
We live
We fight
We love
We lie
But we're not the enemy
(repeat)
Brick wall is fucking up our heads now
We should be banging down the doors
Of those who turn us on eachother
And who are waging all the wars
They're spreading all the fear
Keeping the control
It's time to make our choice now
What will be our role
Will we let the fear of difference make us hate
Or will we stand united
Before it is too late
Save the attitude for someone who needs it
It aint gonna be me
We live
We fight
We love
We lie
But we're not the enemy
(repeat)

Broken Jaw

I used to feel high
My tolerance is rising
I used to get a buzz
But the lack of it's surprising
I used to feel calm
And now I am just fighting
And once I was inspired
But now I'm just surviving
Dealing with my madness but the drugs they just don't cut it
And the fear is coming back but I've got nowhere to put it
Counting all the times I've tried to do it alone
Like a fucking bad penny
No direction of home
I've been obsessing
When I should've been confessing
If I wanna be alive
I don't need your blessing
Is it detox or a funeral
I'm watching the clocks
Won't some fucker let me out of this box
Demons in peripherals delusions of grand design
Flying high over mortals no consequences of time
Tunes in my head
But the decks ain't got a record on
Let it fade away until the
Reverb and the echo’s gone
Remember when we first got together
It always seemed to be fair weather
Lots of secret rendezvous
Soon it was just you I'd choose
In the bedroom
In the attic
There wasn't anywhere that we weren't at it
A breath of pleasure was how it started
Maybe I was a bit open hearted
Coz before I knew you were in my veins
You were the driver you had the reins
Every moment I'd think of you
And all the things I'd have to do
To make sure we could stay together
And nothing it would spoil our pleasure
You made me feel calm
You made me feel good
You made me feel like I thought I should
And now this love is so complete
All I want is one more night
And now this love is so complete
Why does it give me such a fright
And now this love is so complete
All I want is one more night
And now this love is so complete
Why does it give me such a fright
Such a fright
Such a fright
These calming little pills get me thinking I'm fine
Sucking on a dummy chasing dragons from my mind
Is this how it goes when societies forgotten
Boom Bust dead or alive
Expect rock bottom
When I stand still I'm just waiting for a pause
And when I start unstopping it's all sliding doors
Sleeves of a snail trail
Searching for the holy grail
Beads of sweat feeling pale
Prepping for the final sale
I'm trying not to be bad
I'm only human kind
With my isotonic body
And my glass jar mind
Scorched wings
Burnt retinas
This angel is down
Fetch me now from neverland
Before I hit the ground
I begged I stole I cheated I lied
To keep you there part of me died
Remember when we first hung out
In a warm blanket on the couch
Now I'm broken on a concrete floor
Sweating and shaking wanting more
A deal gone wrong but it's all for you
These are the things I have to do
You made me feel calm
You made me feel good
You made me feel like I thought I should
We've had this talk many a time
But you wont let me go
Because you're mine
We're bad but opposites attract
But this is fucked and that's a fact
Nothing says I love you more
Than a collapsed vein and a broken Jaw
And now this love is so complete
All I want is one more night
And now this love is so complete
Why does it give me such a fright
And now this love is so complete
All I want is one more night
And now this love is so complete
Why does it give me such a fright
Such a fright
Such a fright
Nothing says I love you more
Than a collapsed vein and a broken jaw
(repeat)
Come together as one
Be together
Come together as one
Be together
Nothing says I love you more
Than a collapsed vein and a broken jaw
(repeat)

Free

Its hurt to many people
With it's poison tongue
It's forked like a snake
And it burns like the sun
When it drips with spite
It will take all my might
Just not to make a sound
Just not to make a sound
Well it gnawed away at my sanity
And if I let it back and my heart turns black
Then I cant be free
And I think of it more than it thinks of me
Its my ego lets me down
When I'm looking for the crown
So I'm calling it a day
A quiet goodbye
There wont be one for the road
The road into the sky
Oh yea now I'm free
I can be what I want to be
So long as I can be
That thing with you
(repeat)
It makes me turn to violence
Puts blackness in my eyes
And when I wont remember
Then it really tries
It has its twisted way
I'm a puppet on a string
And when it gives its orders
Its me that feels the sting
So I'm throwing it back up
Exorcism from my body
It gave me a new lease of life
But left me feeling sorry
And people look at me
Like I'm and evil man
And maybe they are right
Maybe that's the plan
So I'm calling it a day
A quiet farewell
There wont be one for the road
The road that goes to hell
Oh yea now I'm free
I can be what I want to be
So long as I can be
That thing with you
(repeat)

Stuck Between the Devil
04:53
|

We sailed this ship from pole to pole
Find distractions to fill the soul
Devil close in violent chase
Our vessel buckles the race
Body rattles with the pills we take
Whisky washes the tide away
Nothing seems to satisfy
We drink the poisons to defy
Looks like we're about to sink
So you might wanna buy a drink
Looks like we're about to sink
So you might wanna buy a drink
Looks like we're about to sink
So you might wanna buy a drink
Looks like we're about to sink
So darlin...you might wanna buy a drink
Stuck between the devil
And the deep blue sea
Is this the price
Of being free
But you'll find
Onwards we strive
And always
We get out alive!
Been flat out like a lizard drinkin
The rats have left and the ship is sinking
Hand at the helm with a distant frown
My bats still swinging if we go down
Play our music across the land
Fire bass canon meet our demands
Nothing seems to satisfy
We drink the poisons to defy
Looks like we're about to sink
So you might wanna buy a drink
Looks like we're about to sink
So you might wanna buy a drink
Looks like we're about to sink
So you might wanna buy a drink
Looks like we're about to sink
So darlin...you might wanna buy a drink
Stuck between the devil
And the deep blue sea
Is this the price
Of being free
But you'll find
Onwards we strive
And always
We get out alive!

This is the Life

Woawoa oh
Woawoa oh
Grew up in a town
In the middle of nowhere
Knobheads on the corner
Wanna give you a scare
Toking and joking and wander the streets
Heads swelled up on acidy treats
The only thing that feeds our mind is music
Gorging on beats till our brain is sick
Banging out tunes on clapped out blasters
Do what we want coz we're our own masters
Teachers saying what a time waster
Beats is banging and it ain't no taster
Drifting away in a haze of weed
Dancing all night on pills and speed
Wanna explode start making sounds
Pick up ideas as we do the rounds
Play in punk band
Wobble out bass
Rip up the dancefloor
In an all night race
Living in squats 24-7
Techno is blaring what are you selling
I'll have some of that
Days drift away
X's in your eyes yea
What did you say
Creativity
Reactivity
Lazerbass all the negativity
Smash you in the face with one more noize
Don't call the cops
Or you'll meet the boys
We go where we wanna go
We do what we wanna do
We live how we wanna live
Woawoa oh
We go where we wanna go
We do what we wanna do
We live how we wanna live
Woawoa oh
Then in a town in the middle of nowhere
Every bodies wearing a glass eyed stare
A convoy of trucks like a scene from mad max
Covered in dents and windows with cracks
Dreadlocks skinheads oily faces
Boots and leggings
Caps and braces
Set up a site on the edge of town
Up on the hill on a bit of waste ground
Music blares out every night
From when it gets dark to when it gets light
Stacks of speakers making proper vibes
Decimate the dark
Unite the tribes
This is the life
This is the way
Get cash buy truck and then drive away
Rip up the roads with a rig in the back
Drive across countries just for the crack
Making money at parties
That last for a week
Stay up for days in the Spanish heat
Feel the earth spin beneath your feet
If your town gets you down then get away
If they say you can't do it then ignore what they say
Block the negative
Focus on the good
Do what you want
Not what you're told you should
We go where we wanna go
We do what we wanna do
We live how we wanna live
Woawoa oh
We go where we wanna go
We do what we wanna do
We live how we wanna live
Woawoa oh
(repeat)
