Refused : The Shape of Punk to Come
歌词
1. WORMS OF THE SENSES / FACULTIES OF THE SKULL
["They told me that the classics never got a style but, they do, they do. Somehow baby, I never thought that we do to." ]
I got a bone to pick with capitalism and a few to break
Grab us by the throat and shake the life away
Human life is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe
And yeah, I like eating excrement, not getting paid for it
Play the guilt, play the fear & play the anxiety
And yeah, I like eating excrement, not getting paid for it
Play the guilt, play the fear & play the anxiety
Seduced by the opportunity and robbed of hope
Alien nation is not commodity, figures, statistics or make believe
Yeah!
One more time. Oh!
Marginalise away the joy and sell us boredom
And yeah, I like working doing nothing, not making anything
Blame the poor, blame the uneducated & blame the sick
And yeah, I like working doing nothing, not making anything
Blame the poor, blame the uneducated & blame the sick
I got a bone to pick and a few to bre
2. LIBERATION FREQUENCY
It's coming through the air for all of us to hear
Could it be the sounds of liberation or just the image of detention?
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We don't just want airtime
We want all the time all of the time
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We don't just want transmission
We want...
What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet music?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency will liberation be?
It's coming through the air for all of us to hear
Could it be the sounds of liberation or just the image of detention?
Control my flower, business, news, all ready to devour
Who's in charge and what does he say?
Is he playing the alternative or does it sound the same old way?
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We want transmission for the people
We need...
We wanted everything
We needed everything
We needed everything
What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet music?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?
What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet, sweet, sw-sweet?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?
We want the airwaves back
We want the airwaves back
We don't just want airtime
We want all the time all of the time
What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet music?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency will liberation be?
What frequency are you getting?
Is it noise or sweet, sweet, sweet?
On what frequency will liberation be?
On what frequency?
On what frequency?
We got more comin' right now
There's more coming
We're gonna get, gonna get a little sort of a session goin' here
A bit of a session
A session that will feature the rhythm section
3. THE DEADLY RHYTHM
This union that made us powerless is talking over our heads
Claiming prosperity in a downward spiral plan
Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line
Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line
This power that made us unionless is taking out of our hands
Cheapest labour at our expensive cost, auctioned our lives away
Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line
Stuck by the deadly rhythm of the production line
We consume our lives like we are thankful for what we are being forced into
Is it our duty to die for governments and for gods?
Is it our priviledge to slave for market and industry?
Is it our right to follow laws set to scare and to oppress?
Is it our gift to stay in line and will it take away the blame?
We can no longer pay the price
We'll get organized
We will no longer believe that working for you will set us free
We can no longer pay the price
We'll get organized
We will no longer believe that working for you will set us free
4. SUMMERHOLIDAYS VS. PUNKROUTINE
I'm tired of losing myself
To some stupid childhood dream of what I could have been
Money proves the point
And I'm stuck between summer holidays and punk routine
I shoot off a hundred things to remain more sorry than safe, you see
I only get this fucking chance once and I just can't let it be
And I'm still certain that what motivates me
Is more rewarding than any piece of paper could be
Well adjusted and corrupt
All those icons that stole our teenage lust
A scenario of simplicity
A scenario of you and me
A scenario of simplicity
A scenario of you and me
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
We're all tired of dying
So sick of not trying
Scared that we might fail
We'll accomplish nothing
We're all tired of dying
So sick of not trying
Scared that we might fail
We'll accomplish nothing
Not even failure
Not even failure
Not even failure
Not even failure
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
Rather be forgotten than remembered for giving in
Giving in
Giving in
Giving in

(Instrumental)
6. NEW NOISE
CAN I SCREAMMMM?!!!
YEAHHHH
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
WHOO!
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
It's here for us to admire if we can afford the beauty of it
If we can afford the luxury of turning our heads
(If we can if we can if we can)
Adjust the thousand dollar smile and behold the creation of man
Great words won't cover ugly actions
Good frames won't save bad paintings
WOOO
We lack the motion to move to the new beat
YEAAAH!
We lack motion
When the day is over (Hey) the doors are locked on us
'Cause money buys the access
And we can't pay the cost
How can we expect anyone to listen
If we're using the same old voice?
We need new noise
New art for the real people
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not leading
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not, we're not, we're not
We're not, we're not, we're not..
Leading
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
Here we go!
We dance to all the wrong songs
We enjoy all the wrong moves
We dance to all the wrong songs
We're not leading
YEAH!
YEAH!
YEAH!
(16x)The new beat!!
Thank you.
7. THE REFUSED PARTY PROGRAM
This is the pulse, this is the sound
This is the beat of a new generation
This is the movement, this is the rhythm
This is the noise of revolution
Yeah! Yeah! Arrrrh!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Refused party programme
Refused party programme
Refused party programme
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
8. PROTEST SONG '68
["To sing you must first open your mouth. You must have a pair of lungs and a little knowledge of music. It is not neccessary to have an accordion, or a guitar. The essential thing is that I want to sing. Then this is a song, I'm singing." -H. Miller ]
I breathe in & I, I create
Rewoke the spirit '68
Fresh meaning to torn ideas
Let's bring life to old clich©s
Punch a hole in tradition, yeah!
Let's listen to the songs of discontent
To the chords & the movement
To the chords & the movement
It could all be so simple
We would all stand baffled by the precision & accuracy
Our jaws would hurt from dropping so hard, fast & unexpectedly
It would be the perfect metaphor
Be the perfect song we'd be singing
I breathe out & I scream
Rewoke Malatesta's dream
Inspiration from the past
Focus to the future at last
Fixed dogmas can't substitute
Creative thought & action
It could be dangerous
Art as a real threat
All it is it words
Words said a million time before
All it is is a song
A song sung a million times before
I breathe in, I create
Rewoke the spirit '68
I breathe out, I scream
Rewoke Malatestas dream
9. REFUSED ARE FUCKING DEAD
Beyond ability & control we could be weekend lovers
Steal a sentence and make a catch phrase parole for our revolution
Whispered all across the street about the, about the new cool call
Or screamed at your face like a scabs payroll
Faces like angels, licking our fingertips
We don't have the patience to deal with it
With battered bodies & puckered lips
We don't have the patience to deal with it
A naive young secret for the new romantics
We express ourselves in loud & fashionable ways
A naive young secret for the new romantics
We express ourselves in loud & fashionable ways
Faces like angels, licking our fingertips
We don't have the patience to deal with it
With battered bodies & puckered lips
We don't have the patience to deal with it. Yeah!
Get down, get down. Can I get a witness? Oh!
This I gotta see
Bring it in! Bring it in! Bring it in!
One more time for me. Yeah!
Gotta get away from this town
Bring it in! Bring it in! Bring it in!
One more time for me. Go!
We don't have the patience
We don't have the patience
We don't have the patience
We don't have the patience.
Yeah!
Get down
Listen to him
A naive young secret for the new romantics
We express ourselves in loud & fashionable ways
A naive young secret for the new romantics
We express ourselves in loud & fashionable ways
A naive young secret for the new romantics
We express ourselves in loud & fashionable ways
A naive young secret for the new romantics
We express ourselves in loud & fashionable ways
10. THE SHAPE OF PUNK TO COME
Hey baby! you never felt this good
Freedom through your stereo and you wish you could
Take a bite, do a dance, get lost on a crusade, jump on this soul train: destination unknown
Yeah! Yeah! Arrrh!
We're all dressed up, we've got somewhere to go
All dressed up with somewhere to go
I told you so! I told you so!
We're all dressed up, we've got somewhere to go
All dressed up
I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!
Hey baby! never felt this free
A pair of new shoes & a punk rock show to see
Give acclamation to these blue ribbon babies, check the calendar for the expiration date
We've all been bitten
We've all been underground
We've all been beaten, battered, bruised, told to get down
We've all been bitten
We've all been shot down
We've all been beaten, battered, bruised, told to get down
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
We're all dressed up, we've got somewhere to go
All dressed up with somewhere to go
I told you so! I told you so!
We're all dressed up, we've got somewhere to go
All dressed up
I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!
Adolescent beats with a new thing to see
Smashed guitars just like you've seen on T.V.
With burning speakers & flaming hair
We'll have a riot right here
We'll have a riot right here
11. TANNHAUSER / DERIVE
So where do we go from here?
Just about anywhere
Disorientated but alive
Boredom won't get me tonight
Let's bring this city to life, to light - tonight
Let's bring this city to life, tonight - to light
There is no destination
But with a goal in mind
We can all be realistic
Demand the impossible
Let's bring this city to life - to light, tonight
Let's bring this city to life - tonight
Every street is an adventure and every road becomes a trip.
Every turn we take and every decision we don't make,
even the decision we don't make, will bring us into the secrets of their town.
Every corner we turn will lead us, every corner we turn will lead us down the labyrinths,
and every desire that we earn will guide us alive, living, loving & searching.
So where do we go from here?
Just about anywhere
Disorientated but alive
Boredom won't get me tonight
Boredom won't get me tonight
Boredom won't get me tonight
Boredom won't get me tonight
12. THE APOLLO PROGRAMME WAS A HOAX
Petrol bombs & barricades
Anything to have our say
Consequence of no choice at all
Empires rise & empires fall
Now it's time to flip some coins
And it's time to turn some tables
(Cos if we have the vision I know that we are able
Suck on my words for a while, choke in the truth of a million dead
There is no prestige in your title, we are after your head
The destruction of everything is the beginning of something new
Your new wold is on fire and soon you'll be (too)
Sabotage will set us free
Throw a rock in the machine
Sabotage will set us free
Throw a rock in the machine
Throw a rock in the machine
Throw a rock in the machine.
