Free CD Lyrics

SCREENWASH*

Selling a dream world

No one can reach

A channelled agenda

Disguised underneath

A full set of lies

Broadcast as truth

Edit Reality

Screenwash the youth

Stick to the program

Lie to the nation

Colour reality

With your own creation

FASHION VICTIMS*

30 pence a day to buy enough to eat

Lying in a crowded insanitary slum

80 hours a week in Bangladeshi Heat

Lives enslaved, needs forgotten

Victims of their circumstance

Every stitch, every button

Victims of our decadence

Dismissed for forming unions, Abused for being poor

Sick pay bob-existent when accidents are rife

As long as there’s demand there will be a factory floor

Trapped in fucking servitude where struggle is your life

Lives enslaved, needs forgotten

Victims of their circumstance

Every stitch, every button

Victims of our decadence

LET IT SLOW*

You’re frightened of a little snowflake

Each one individual and each one free

And if enough of them come together

They can bring the country to its needs

Let It fucking snow

Let It fucking snow

Let It fucking snow

Let It fucking snow

You want a country just like you

All white and bald and intolerant

I want a world that’s free and fair

Everyone unique and different

DARREN SAYS*

Darren wanted to hear a song

So that he can sing along

His life had taken quite a hit

And Universal Credit is shit

Universal Credit is Shit, shit, shit

Darren needed some advice

Financial help would be nice

But the process is not fit

Because Universal Credit is shit

PEOPLE NOT PRODUCTS**

Desperate people 

Just looking for refuge 

In an overcrowded vessel

They’re trying to survive 

These are people x4

not products x4

When the bodies wash up

They’re used for political gain

You stir up hatred and fear

And proved callous and evil... again.

STILL ROCKING AGAINST RACISM**

Times change

Politics move on

We’re still fighting 

nazi scum

Still fighting racists

Still fighting racists

Still fighting racists

Still rocking against racism

New threats

New defence

Still Smashing fascism 

With common sense

Still fighting racists 

Still fighting racists

Still fighting racists

Still rocking against racism

IT’S CRUELTY GET ME OUT OF HERE**

Your celebrity is no excuse

For taking part in cruel abuse 

Animal abuse is not entertainment

Animal cruelty is not entertaining

With blood stains on your hands 

TV entertainment is no excuse

Animal abuse is not entertainment

Animal cruelty is not entertaining 

Prime time TV horror show

And minor Celebrity ego

Endorsing Death and torture

As long as viewing numbers grow

Animal abuse is not entertainment

Animal cruelty is not entertaining

Animal abuse is not entertainment

Animal cruelty is not entertaining

SIDES**

What happens when you realise

The slavery that you despise

Was perpetrated by your side

And  sanctioned in your name

The wealth that built this nation state

The swagger that made Britain ‘Great’

Also sought to devastate

But happened all the same

Hate crime

Culture theft and genocide

All this time

We were on the wrong side

Subterfuge is all it took

Because victors wrote the history books

It’s time to take a second look

At our destructive game

Hate crime

Culture theft and genocide

All this time

We were on the wrong side 

CLIMATE DISASTER**

Climate change is here

The point of no return

You deny the evidence

As you watch the planet burn

It’s a climate disaster

You watch the world fry

It’s a climate disaster

Making money while we die

You’re causing global warming

Your profits grow higher

You’re causing climate change

Even though the word’s on fire.

It’s a climate disaster

We watch the world fry

It’s a climate disaster

Count your money while we die

Keep the oil pumping

Fossils bring in the cash

Your riches never ending

But we can’t afford the gas

 

It’s a climate disaster

It’s a climate disaster

Count your money while we die

THIN BLUE LIE**

I'm sure there are people who join the police

Thinking that they'll do some good

but sooner or later the doctrine seeps in

and they choose on which side they are stood

Don’t buy

their thin blue lie

Police are

Not on your side

There's only 2 choices, you're either a cop

who believes oppression is right

or you're prepared to sideline your morals

and actually condone their shite

Don’t buy

their thin blue lie

Police are

Never on your side

At best they are cowards 

who choose not to speak

at worst they are bullies 

who prey on the weak

FOOD BANK**

Donate, Donate

Help confront this Tory hate

Donate, Donate

Put a smile on someone's plate

Donate, Donate

Stand against this selfish state

Donate, Donate, Donate

Begging for scraps from the ruling elite

People are hungry, folk got to eat

Just give whatever you can afford

wealth is better shared than stored

One extra tin in your shopping cart

helps tip the balance, helps make a start

easing somebody's desperation

we can all work to feed the nation

its a fucking disgusting reality

that some people stockpile money

knowing that in their community

people will go to bed hungry

LAHNEE’S PLANET SONG**

We’re still harming the planet

Despite what nature does for us

We need to think how we can help

Make sure the planet comes first

Reduce

Reuse

Recycle

Now

The environment will just get worse

If we don’t do something now

You have a pet you look after it

So don’t eat a pig, sheep or cow

Reduce

Reuse

Recycle

Now

So what can we do to help

You can always plant a tree

But you can do so much more 

Go vegan and be plastic free

Reduce

Reuse

Recycle

Now

(Lyrics by a 9 year old Lahnee Capers)

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US?**

Why do we just expect

Some people will be made homeless

And why do we just accept

Working people cannot feed their kids

What the hell is wrong with us?

And why do we just expect

The rich will take more and more

And why do we just accept

That some people are born to have it all

What the hell is wrong with us?

What the hell is wrong with us

We accept inequality and division

And why to we not make a fuss

And accept this social hierarchy

What the hell is wrong with us?
