1. Let's Start a War

Lets start a war said maggie one day
With the unemployed masses we'll just do away
They won't mind, like sheep they'll go
They won't suss us, they'll never know
Lets start a war said maggie one day
Lets start a war said maggie one day
Lets start a war said maggie one day
You fight for your country
You die for their gain
Death and destruction all around
Shops and houses are razed to the ground
Burnt out houses empty shells
Here on earth it's just a mortal hell
Lets start a war said maggie one day
Lets start a war said maggie one day
Lets start a war said maggie one day
You fight for your country
You die for their gain
How they died no one will ever know
They said they would save us as deterrents they would be used
Except they brought destruction to an earth grows no food
No we are gone forever no tombs can hold your names
Lets start a war said maggie one day
Lets start a war said maggie one day
Lets start a war said maggie one day
You fight for your country
You die for their gain




2. Insanity

I've been made an orphan
No family life have i
My parents were no soldiers
Yet they were killed before my eyes
Christians in a free world
Free from what we ask
Not from death or destruction
Cause we haven't learnt from the past
I've been made an orphan
No family life have i
My parents were no soldiers
Yet they were killed before my eyes
Burnt out houses petrol bombed
Down the street where i was born
Screams of terror haunts my mind
Where my mama went and died from a booby trap mine




3. Safe Below

They said they would prevent a war
To stop the sufferings for ever more
No wars to fight no blood to shed
But they were lying we'll soon be dead
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead
The button is pushed its all begun
Those alive there soon be none
In the distance a yellow sun
And still we pray for death to come
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead
The troops are out there on patrol
Passing burnt lumps as they go
My clothes are in shreds i can barely see
Whilst all around is dead and disease
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead
I picture maggie in my mind
Safe below she's feeling fine
She has no burns no torn off limbs
She sits on her arse and play silly games
And now you're as good as dead
And now you're as good as dead




4. Eyes of the Vulture

Death as seen through a vultures eyes
Four hundred feets above a sunlit sky
Dosen't have to kill to stay alive
Man the animal is it's provider
See the darkened lebanise skies
See the darkened
See the darkened
See the darkened lebanise skies
See the darkened lebanise skies
Vultures picks on those who died
Bloated bodies stench the air
While Israel soldiers stand and stare
See the darkened lebanise skies
See the darkened
See the darkened
See the darkened lebanise skies
Man the animal is it's provider
And it dosent give a damn why man kill man
And it never seeks no answers as long as there corpses
All suppiled by political gansters
See the darkened lebanise skies
See the darkened
See the darkened
See the darkened lebanise skies




5. Should We Can't We

Guns go off around my head
As i fall over the fallen dead
Cordite fumes that sting my eyes
The infantry's always the first to die
Who is right, who is wrong
Should we, cant we ban all bombs
Who is right, who is wrong
Should we, cant we ban all bombs
The infanrty's always the first to die
Trained to kill but never told why
No farewells in the field of goodbyes
Soldiers die and civilian cries
Who is right, who is wrong
Should we, cant we ban all bombs
Who is right, who is wrong
Should we, cant we ban all bombs
Will we be the first to try
Can we trust them not to lie




6. Rival Leaders

The countdown has started to go
Computers are locked on their foes
The president is on his way
Down to live another day
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Here we go
The fail safety mechanism is off
The baby lies sleeping in its cot
The mother reads her magazine
Her son's in the kitchen eating ice cream
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Here we go
The 4 minutes warning starts to go
Soon you'll be dead you'll never know
It's started to lift off its pad
It's on its way isn't that sad
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Here we go
The countdown has started to go
Computers are locked on their foes
Thatcher is on her way
Down to the bunker for another day




7. God Saved the Queen

Panic all hell breaks loose
A battered body screams abuse
A plastic bullet end his youth
A motherless son turns and pukes
Behind closed curtains
Terror stares
What are they doing prowling round our streets
Who are they looking for with bullets in their breech
Screaming sirens fills the air
Then turn off noweher there coppers everywhere
Behind closed curtains
Terror stares
God saved the queen with blanks from a gun
But who is our protector when provoced to run
We still don't know why they surround the streets
But now they've withdrawn in full retreat




8. Psycho




9. Kidology

Thousands of people gathered on a beach
Some came to listen while others came to preach
They had to plan this meeting and keep it quite discrete
For the poles to survive they must pretend defeat
To help you rid those scums
Kidology, perfect it to an art
Kidology, keep them in the dark
Grow you must in silence
Your strenght will overcome
There's others on the outside
To help you rid those scums
Kidology, perfect it to an art
Kidology, keep them in the dark




10. False Hopes

They're out to kill the working class
That means you and me
Maggie knows she can go and stuff
Her non woking politics
False hopes, job creations
False hopes, job creations
False hopes, job creations
Affecting you and me
False hopes like job creations
Are there to keep you down
Straws in the wind for the working man
Create nowt but misery
False hopes, job creations
False hopes, job creations
False hopes, job creations
Affecting you and me
Columns of the living dead
No voices to hear their plight
Stumble on aimlessly every day
To a perpetual night
False hopes, job creations
False hopes, job creations
False hopes, job creations
Affecting you and me
The working man is dying
Now robots take his place
And soon it will be your turn
To be redundant from the human race




11. Another Day to Go Nowhere

Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another factory closes down
Protesting voices have been drowned
Just another town that dies
Work force workers go home and cry
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another family leaves the town
Try their luck southward bound
Its only hope that spurs them on
Lost horizons dream on
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Nights of boredom trigger despair
Anarch breaks out in the workless homes
Ousted sons and daughters roam
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another day to go nowhere
Another corpse hangs from a tree
Is suicide left for you and me
Reared up in a workless zone
Teachers in the damned to free their own




12. Wankers

Bushell said that punk was dead
Wanker

Bushell said that punk was dead
He's two faced he's off his head
Wankers

Bushell said that punk was dead
He's two faced he's off his head
Jerry Harris is a toss
Wankers

Bushell said that punk was dead
He's two faced he's off his head
Jerry Harris is a toss
Without them both there'll be no loss
