Destructive Oppressive

What are you going to do when your heart is filled with rage?
What steps are you going to take to deal with all this pain?
Tell me what it takes, to stand up and fight back
While they’re trying to destroy everything we have
Stand up and fight back, they will destroy our world
Keep the fight up and protect and treasure what we’ve got
If we don’t do anything, they’ll do whatever they like
They will walk all over us they’ve no regard for our lives
Once again another attempt, to mess up everything
We must never succumb to destructive infighting
Powerful men can't resist, playing divide and rule
But with our common ground, we will never give in.
Stand up and fight back, they will destroy our world
Keep the fight up and protect and treasure what we’ve got
If we don’t do anything, they’ll do whatever they like
They will walk all over us they’ve no regard for our lives

Camera One or Camera Two
The answers depend on who gave you that pint
If you have no manifesto you can say what you like
Slave to Mori, not Morals
Where’s the change if the same man won outright
There’s no warmth in the heartless descendent Thatcherite
Offering magic bullets
The mail won’t express the whole state of the nation
It’s not all military fetishism and anti-immigration
Creating anger and rage through fear and loathing
Jingoistic Populism
Force minorities loyalties or banishment waits
Why would a tolerant people vote for such hate?
Concentrate on 1%
Services aren’t accountable when privatised
It dismantles the safety net of our human rights
Creating anger and rage through fear and loathing
All hail scaremongering
The man of the people is fourth estate spawn
We must be careful what other people wish for
Be careful what other people wish for

Untried War Criminal

If I had my way, I’d never let you back in
With the hypocrisy of your position
Took the left towards the centre, then to centre right
Undermining the movement of the ordinary man
Straw men Unverified
Millions March, Unsatisfied
Centuries of secrecy
In your Christian Eyes, all justified
Elitist, Terrorist
Neoliberal, Zionist
Paranoid Islamaphobe
In your Catholic Eyes, all justified
I wonder what David Kelly would say if he hadn’t been suicided
Almost bloodless in a field, that never added up,
Though some sexed up spin soon brought it through
And suddenly a man who slowed sectarian slaughter is
Slaying Shiite’s and Sunni’s for something special.
Straw men Unverified
Millions March, Unsatisfied
Centuries of secrecy
In your Christian Eyes, all justified
Elitist, Terrorist
Neoliberal, Zionist
Paranoid Islamaphobe
In your Catholic Eyes, all justified

The Last Angry Man

The opportunity to have your say
Is taken for granted these days
The less time you shine your light, the more they assume they’re right
The apathy is making me sick, removing people from politics
Say they don’t care, and so you don’t care
It’s because you don’t, that they won’t care
Allied with a marked cross, or spoil everybody if you must
Your own picture can be hard to see,
I ask and I never understand
Why would you give up that control?
Staying away is taking yourself out
What good is losing your voice?
The fight to vote won the right to vote
Now it’s a fight to make you vote
It's a mockery of democracy
I can’t be the last angry man
Why are we accepting a system that’s not working?
That’s not representing
I ask and I never understand
Why would you give up that control?
Staying away is taking yourself out
What good is losing your voice?
The fight to vote won the right to vote
Now it’s a fight to make you vote
It's a mockery of democracy
I can’t be the last angry man
Walk over us, if we lay down they will Goose Step
A Government should not rely on just content

United Under Tyranny

Every day is a fight
There’s a struggle to survive
We will fight those up high
On their defeat we will thrive
With one voice
With one goal
United under tyranny
We are one
All we have is ourselves
Every day we push ourselves
We take pride in who we are
We can’t be beaten down
We are the thorns in their side
With one voice
With one goal
United under tyranny
We are one
All we have is ourselves
We must take every chance to undermine this jurisdiction, we must expose what we can

Soundbite culture is here, the cream of bullshit
Infotainment means you can’t see wood for trees
This toadying cocksucking by these Gollum insiders
They blind or override objectivity
Victim blaming is abhorrent, but when it’s being done
By vexatious demons living in The Sun
Click-bait, fauxserity and populist indignation
Make sure you’re photogenic or else you’ll be forgotten
History is repeating
News isn’t objective, its hidden agendas are
Stifling debate with hyper censor controls
Every device is designed to rape information
There's no isolation in modern times
They schedule apathy so you don't need to think
Just swallow the strychnine with a saccharine drink
When you take no interest in how mass media runs
You end up under its thumb and it's so hard to get out
History is repeating

We're All Terrorists Now

Phone records printed out and satellite tracked
It's for your own good
Literal meanings remove all context
It's for your own good
Extended waiting time invasive scan
It's for your own good
I know I pose no threat so how is this
For my own good
Wait for images of police firing into crowded streets
Key-wording social media for phantom crime imprisonment
(You've been pre-read your rights)
We're all terrorists now, we're all terrorists
Mistaking school exchange for ISIS like we did with Irish accents
Camping trips for Al-Qaeda, maybe you can shop your neighbour?
(You've been pre-read your rights)
We're all terrorists now, we're all terrorists
Engaged in dreaming different dreams
Engaged in dreaming different dreams
Armed police patrolling mass transit systems
It's for your own good
State sponsored racial profiling instructions
It's for your own good
Requiring notice of intent to protest
It's for your own good
I know I pose no threat so how is this
For my own good
The social, classist, ideological prejudice of authority
Unquestionable, immovable, non-mandated and imposed
(You've been pre read your rights)
We're all terrorists now, we're all terrorists
Upholding British values on pain of prison or deportation,
Disagreement is radicalisation, all they preach is conformation
(You've been pre-read your rights)
We're all terrorists now, we're all terrorists
We're all terrorists now, we're all terrorists now

No matter what
Forward is the way I go
No matter how
I will get what I want
No matter where
I look for what I want
I'm gonna get it, grab it, take it, have it
No matter how
Difficult it's gonna be
I'm gonna get
What should belong to me
I'm gonna fight
I'm gonna fight to survive
I'm gonna stay here, I'm not going anywhere
Determination
Is the only way to be
Even in isolation
I stand firmly on my feet
With all my strength
I'm gonna push so hard
With all I've got
This time it will be mine
However hard
It will prove to be
I will endure what whatever comes at me
Power in me
Can only grow and grow
It'll let you see
That I am really strong
Don't mess with me
That move would be so wrong
And I would show you where to go
In every situation
If you try and threaten me
Without hesitation
I will knock you off your feet
No matter what
Forward is the way I go
No matter how
I will get what I want
No matter where
I look for what I want
I'm gonna get it, grab it, take it, have it
In every situation
If you try and threaten me
Without hesitation
I will knock you off your feet

The irony of filming Orwell's house
You can age yourself by war
Where there was work there is workfare
Creating poundstretched architects
(Why aren’t we on the streets?)
miliony sprzeciwów w komputerowych czcionkach
(Why aren’t we on the streets?)
zamieńmy w działania przeciw tym którzy nas dzielą
Cash for dead dreams versus poverty porn
ATOS have blood on their hands
A sanctuary is now your burden
The Queens head for Private Pat
(Why aren’t we on the streets?)
miliony sprzeciwów w komputerowych czcionkach
(Why aren’t we on the streets?)
zamieńmy w działania przeciw tym którzy nas dzielą

So here we come again, it’s 2014.
Manifest Manchester Hardcore
Still keeping it real.
Still grass roots, still DIY,
Underground culture
Still relevant!
The band started in 2012
But the origins of it go
Further than then.
1994, first contact with Hardcore punk,
First tapes, first music
It never let me down.
Still Relevant
From the streets of Krakow to the Streets of Manchester
Forget the borders
Hardcore is Worldwide
Anger inside is coming out, we hit another stage
In another town
Working so hard to be where we are, giving to the scene and
Getting something back
Meeting the bands, engaging with fans, building a family
Having good time
Still Relevant
