Fool 03:05
Look out world, there are new rules From liberation pre-school Look out world, I'm about to sneeze “It's disgusting, should we raise the issue?” Look out world for new language And middle class guilty baggage You make me happy that my lessons came From dodging horny scouse staffies (speak a bit camp, oo erh missus) All the kids are in a rage All the kids are middle aged Sorry if I'm not ???? enough by whatever measure you just made up See those purveyors of peace and love singing HAHAHAHAHAHA Sorry if I don't tick that box but – didn't you just make that up? Well see those purveyors of peace and love singing HAHAHAHAHAHA You fool fool fool fool fool fool fool fool fool Sorry I'm not so enlightened That I'd bully my friends til they're frightened See, you're so much better than those you protest 'Cause you serve your hate with bean salad All the kids are in a rage All the kids are middle aged Sorry if I'm not WHAT enough by whatever measure you just made up See those purveyors of peace and love singing HAHAHAHAHAHA Sorry if I don't tick some box but – didn't you just make that up? Well see those purveyors of peace and love singing HAHAHAHAHAHA You fool fool fool fool fool fool fool fool fool

Ste : Cockroach keeps on crawling, right up our legs And in our food, all over our homes How do you sleep at night? I know your concience is void But can you rest well on all that grease? Ugh. Billy : posh public school boys running our country bullingdon club bullies who make the poor pay just because they're poor and all the while their mates in the city of London are making millions Ste : vermin always returns if you don’t protect your home for good. Oh cockroach, you’re filthy, off, off, off! Billy : a banker, a worker and an immigrant are sitting around a table on the table there are 12 biscuits the banker scoops up 11 biscuits for himself and says “that immigrant wants to steal your biscuit mate” Ste : Cockroach keeps on crawling Right up our legs And in our food, all over our homes.

Mantos '99 02:08
He died his hair and thought it handsome 19 - you're cocky, cold and lonely And so you get on your back for some more and then you worry but you don't take a test 'cause it's probably just your tummy and you do it bareback with someone who's laughing at you and you do up your hair and think maybe he will love you So hide the mince, put on the swagger take another drink and fake the laughter did you do it bareback? Was he easy? Was he worried? Did you break the boy in? Did the queens think it was funny? I know you learned young, you learned fast, you learned the hard way and you're bound to make sure we keep on going the same way.

"Family values must remain" say churches in our towns the paedophile ring now demands that gays must be brought down did you see that? The man in the hat that's ten foot tall thinks you're a bit freaky Fuck your ugly families and fuck your voodoo curse Somewhere outside Runcorn they are sure it can get worse I ask you, it surely telling when they're pointing at planes before they're pointing at gays Raise those ugly teenage pigs and send them off to war Kill more tiny brown children and make more women poor It's the right way, it's a fine way, when family values look the other way So fuck your family values, we are here to bring them down We're waiting for your husbands who are desperate to go down It's the right way, it's a fine way They're the family values that we must obey.

Chinless wonders fumble round claiming no such thing as an underground They ignore it then claim that it can't be found We go on and on and on Budget airlines, they bring us down but there are hidden cultures in unknown towns while you make waves, we make paddling sounds how you patronise the mess I comb my hair to make sure there are no fleas I check the mirror to see if I'm alive I style myself with free shops from the basement I dine with Aldi's best in train stations sex work flats and a punk belge farm we get lost in random small czech towns we sleep in rooms that your dogs would turn down and now we are alive Photoshop would never do it justice record sales in biro, should we count them? It's not a movement, honey you didn't devise it It's not a scene, honey you can't supervise it we go on and on and on and on and on and on and on......

I was very skilled with a cloth and detergent I cleaned your faeces off well Roller skating uphill not a day went by without them writing on the wall about how we'd fuck our own dads or anything at all Don't we have nice hair? We have such natural flair We’re skilled and super styled here's how you hide a swollen eye I had many skills I could wriggle out of danger when held against my will Pocket knives and kinder eggs you never forget the first time they call your home to ask if that's your ma, and does she even know? Don't we have a way with hair? Highlights and flair We‘re skilled, creative types here's how you make a noose that's tight to keep it to yourself is to meet an early death to laugh it off means you are betraying all the rest to talk about it means you're feeling sorry for yourself to fight back means that you deserve just what you get

I'll Do It 01:31
I'll do it Close my eyes and jump begging for the spotlight on my hump I'll do it Don't know where's my ground and if you can't accept that, then I'll see you around If I'm average then I'll do it If I'm genius then Ill do it If I'm dreadful I'll just do it I can feel the shame Are people laughing at me? Well I feel the same I can only stay alive If I give voice to what's scratching at my insides I believe in less and less now I only believe in fairness and that our lives are truly pointless or at the very most - a game and this is the only hand I have to play I'll do it I'm a mess, I know but darling, your hump is welcome to it's very own show

Revolution come and take us a rebellion with bland tea Oh biscuits break, decency be faked, take back our fine country! I need TWO cars, I want THAT dress, I've got piles and it causes mild distress Nie moja wina żeś głupi tak, że nie rozumiesz nic Tłumacze ci. ty nie znasz nawet znaczenia moich słów My hair's too big, I need NICE shoes I live in my means, I often read the news

Well you had to be nice to different people For almost 14 years, now that's too much! Now it's "look at them there different people" "speaking not like local people" Taking benefits, no! Getting work, disgusting! I can see your tiny wee cutesy clever brain Trying to make sense of the world around it I can hear little wheels turning Trying to make sense of it all, enlighten me. Our consumption of fish fingers Will surely deplete the veal from your plate Now look at us, the cheating people half the luck of lucky people still, I've fiddled more benefits than you've eaten sushi. deal with it. I can see your tiny wee cutesy clever brain Trying to make sense of the world around it I can hear little wheels turning Trying to make sense of it all, inspiring! Well there's several possibilities as to why you didn't get the job a. it wasn't there to begin with b. you're thick c. you didn't really want it anyway did you? c. the new invasion. Oh shit, 250 Bulgarians! I can see your tiny wee cutesy clever brain Trying to make sense of the wolrd around it I can hear little wheels turning Trying to make sense of it all, enlighten me
