DISC 1


1. NEVER AGAIN

A blinding light and firestorms agonised crying
Never never never again
Never never never again
Unanswered cries of help panic and desperation
Dazed and stricken survivors
Search for lost families
Choking dust crazy with thirst
Drinking from poisoned pools and streams


2. HEAR NOTHING SEE NOTHING SAY NOTHING

Lied to threatened cheated and deceived
Hear nothing see nothing say nothing
Led up garden paths and into blind alleys
Hear nothing see nothing say nothing

Lied to threatened cheated and deceived
Hear nothing see nothing say nothing
Led up garden paths and into blind alleys
Hear nothing see nothing say nothing


3. THE NIGHTMARE CONTINUES

And still men and women drag out their lives in misery
The nightmare continues
Blinded disfigured and mentally scarred
The nightmare continues

And still men and women drag out their lives in misery
The nightmare continues
Blinded disfigured and mentally scarred
The nightmare continues


4. REALITIES OF WAR

War is a black hole to avoid
The realities of war are so disturbing
They declare it but they don't hear
The cries of fear

War is a black hole to avoid

Mutilated corpses and charcoal flesh
Litter the battlefields
But their dead bodies
Are not to be found

War is a black hole to avoid


5. AIN'T NO FEEBLE BASTARD

Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say
They say do this they say do that
No I'm no dogs body
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat

Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think, not what they want me to think
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat

Ain't no feeble bastard that obeys their every say
They say do this they say do that
No I'm no dogs body
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat

Ain't no feeble bastard that has no say
I say what I think, not what they want me to think
Ain't no feeble bastard
No fucking scapegoat


6. WAR'S NO FAIRYTALE

Government and queen are your only enemies
Don't be fooled by their plastic smiles

War's no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys

They don't wanna know your views of war
They never stop to think about you

War's no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys

They want you kept in the darkness of
The realities of war

War's no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys

Meat flung yards apart from bodies
Are typical sights of war

War's no fairytale, guns and bombs aren't fucking toys


7. ANGER BURNING

Inside I feel anger burn
Inside I feel anger burning
Burn burn burn
And the flame is burning burning higher


8. HELL ON EARTH

A glaring light an unnatural tremor
Suffocating heat, suffocating heat
A hell on earth, hell on earth

Men women and children groaning in agony
From the intolerable pains of their burns
A hell on earth, hell on earth

A glaring light an unnatural tremor
Suffocating heat, suffocating heat
A hell on earth, hell on earth

Men women and children groaning in agony
From the intolerable pains of their burns
A hell on earth, hell on earth


9. CRIES OF HELP

Napalm tumbles from the sky
Cries of help, cries of pain
Skin looking like bloody hardened meat
Cries of help, cries of pain


10. POSSIBILITY OF LIFE'S DESTRUCTION

Can you hear the sound
Of an enormous door slamming in the depths of hell
The possibility of life's destruction
Can you hear the cries of pain the mournful sound
The possibility of life's destruction


11. VISIONS OF WAR

My head is filled with fear of war
Fear and threat of war
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head

Among the maimed and slaughtered
My body lies
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head

My head is filled with fear of war
Fear and threat of war
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head

Among the maimed and slaughtered
My body lies
Horrific disturbing visions of war
Fill my head


12. STOCKPILES

Should East and West be ever divided
Resigned to livin', livin' in fear


13. THE MORE I SEE

From where I stand I see
Pain suffering and misery

The more I see the more I see
The less the less I believe

From where I stand I see
Hate violence and war

The more I see the more I see
The less the less I believe


14. LOOK AT TOMORROW

I look out my window to a blinding bright light
Enola passes, passes by
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow

Hysterical men women and children
Run in search of their families
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow

I look out of my window to a blinding bright light
Enola passes, passes by
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow

Skin is shed like that of snakes
But it's not the work of mother nature
Tomorrow, tomorrow
A look at tomorrow


15. SOCIETY'S VICTIM

I'm just a victim of your wildest lies
Send in my photo with another name
I'm society's victim
Nobody has to get you to buy it now
That's your concern and I don't vote
I'm society's victim
I'm just the subject of discussion now
The one no-one admires
I'm society's victim
I'm not just sufferin' from paranoia
It's invented by you and them
I'm society's victim


DISC 2


1. PROTEST AND SURVIVE

The savage mutilation of the human race is set on course
Protest and survive
Protest and survive

It is up to us to change that course
Protest and survive
Protest and survive

The savage mutilation of the human race is set on course
Protest and survive
Protest and survive

It is up to us to change that course
Protest and survive
Protest and survive


2. DEATH DEALERS

Britain among others deal in death
When selling arms to developing countries
Where there is urgent need for medical programmes


3. TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

You're so afraid to stand up
But without you they are nothing

Unite, unite, unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us
Unite, unite, unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us

Why should we suffer to fulfil
Their schemes of position and greed

Unite, unite, unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us
Unite, unite, unite and fight
Tomorrow belongs to us


4. FINAL BLOODBATH

The smell of death is near
Its presence ever near
The final bloodbath is coming
It is just around the corner

The smell of death is near
Its presence ever near
The final bloodbath is coming
It is just around the corner


5. IS THIS TO BE

Scorched earth is all that's left
Where trees and flowers once grew
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction

Nothing left but wasteland
Littered with human flesh and bone
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction

Scorched earth is all that's left
Where trees and flowers once grew
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction

Nothing left but wasteland
Littered with human flesh and bone
A trail of destruction
Death and destruction


6. PRICE OF SILENCE

Living in a shadow
Shadow of fear

This is the price
The price of silence

Waiting in death row
One foot in the grave

This is the price
The price of silence


7. FIGHT BACK

Bristol's riots was a result of people's anger
Towards the system

Fight the system, fight back
Fight the system, fight back

People die in police custody
Where's the justice in that, don't see none

Fight the system, fight back
Fight the system, fight back

We've been shit on far too long
There are no equalities, no freedom

Fight the system, fight back
Fight the system, fight back

Stand up fight for freedom
Stand up fight for your rights

Fight the system, fight back
Fight the system, fight back


8. DOOMSDAY

And now the end, the end is near
It's time to say our last goodbyes

Doomsday, doomsday
It's doomsday, doomsday

Is it reality or just a nightmare
Nightmare, nightmare

Doomsday, doomsday
It's doomsday, doomsday

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No escape, no escape

Doomsday, doomsday
It's doomsday, doomsday

Is it reality or just a nightmare
Nightmare, nightmare

Doomsday, doomsday
It's doomsday, doomsday


9. WHY?

Besides her man she kneels
Holds him tight and begins to cry
Why why why but why

Her loved one's just another piece of meat
On the battlefields
Why why why but why

Her cries break out into screams
As she now becomes hysterical with grief
Why why why but why

Her loved one's just another piece of meat
On the battlefields
Why why why but why


10. DRUNK WITH POWER

For how long do we tolerate
These fools drunk with power
Drunk with power, obsessed with death
Death and destruction, drunk with power

A giant game of chess they play
With you and I as the disposable pieces
Drunk with power, obsessed with death
Death and destruction, drunk with power

For how long do we tolerate
These fools drunk with power
Drunk with power, obsessed with death
Death and destruction, drunk with power

A giant game of chess they play
With you and I as the disposable pieces
Drunk with power, obsessed with death
Death and destruction, drunk with power
Power, power, power, power, power


11. RELIGION INSTIGATES

Well you ass crawling bastards suck my arse
Religion, Jesus Christ, it's all a fucking farce

A stray bullet kills an innocent child
Nothing's gained and nothing's solved

Religion instigates this hate and war
As another victim life escapes through gunshot wound

A stray bullet kills an innocent child
Nothing's gained and nothing's solved


12. WARNING

They stand on the outside looking in
They stand on the outside looking in
They stand on the outside and feed you shit
They stand on the outside and feed you shit
They keep you in the dark
Poison poison poison your mind
There is no truth in what they say
There is no truth in what they say
Propaganda and lies
Propaganda and lies


13. MASSACRE OF INNOCENCE

Sounds of distant aircraft get louder
Louder, louder and louder
Massacre of innocence

Men, women and children
Flee from the open in search of safety
Massacre of innocence

Sounds of distant aircraft get louder
Louder, louder and louder
Massacre of innocence

A woman breaks down and cries
Her child is left playing in the street
Massacre of innocence


14. STATE VIOLENCE STATE CONTROL

Kept in line with truncheons
Rifle butts and truncheons
This is state control, this is state control

State control, state control
This is state control

Beaten up behind closed doors
Cracked and bruised ribs, bloody mouth
Cracked and bruised skull, bloody mouth

State control, state control
This is state control


15. DECONTROL

They fill you up with their fucking lies
You're the victims of government schemes
They take liberties they've no right to take
And you believe they're oh so right
They only show concern when war is declared
Cos you're their power and glory
This whole affair's so fucking unfair
It's so fucking sick

Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol

We're being shit on far too long
We're being shit on far too long
We're being shit on far too long
We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
Decontrol, decontrol - We're being shit on far too long
