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

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 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

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

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

Digilantism 01:38
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
