DEM BONES :

Wealth Rules :

You liar (x11)- You never tell the truth
You say you try to help us but fuck you never do
Stockpile up all the money, stockpile it all for you
Suck in all the people, under your deadly reign
Lock up all clever people, pronounce them all insane
You say you send food money to the latest Cambodian strain
Transported in the form of a missile again
The rest is spent on your new summer house
For when the big flashing light knocks all the lights out
It's time for you to say goodbye, it's time for you to go
To take the tablets or the gas or the needles not so slow
The answers been provided, so come on face the truth
This world isn't yours anymore this world is for the youth
So, die, die, die


Who's to Blame :

Another kid dies in police detention
His family cries and pleads for attention
Complain to their MP but nothing's done
This could never happen to their son
Barry Prosser and James Kelly
Just dead faces on the telly
No-one did it, it wasn't murder
Unlawful killing was the verdict
They'll hold a hearing and an inquest
In the name of justice, they'll do their best
Protect their own and fuck the rest (x2)
At their meetings, they'll make excuses
Why people died with all those bruises
With Broken Bones and damaged brains
Someone killed them so who's to blame?


Iron Maiden :

The Iron Maiden's always there, preaching to people everywhere
Always telling us what to do, you blind us with your lies not truth
Open the door and let us in, Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden
To have the luxuries there within, Iron Maiden, Iron Maiden
You try to put us in a mould, our life and future you have sold
Always telling us what to do, same old story nothing new
Let us in from out of the cold, you'll keep us there until we're old
The money's run dry and there's nothing left
We're going mad, do you get the drift ?


Their Living is my Death :

There's a factory across the field, it's dark, cold and grey
A thousand people cross the gates, to work there every day
They're making the components that they hope will win the war
It's a Radway Green death factory, come in and make some more
My money is spent on living, their money is spent on death
My death is their living, their living is my death
You're all a bunch of liars, I just don't know who to believe
You say you won't use it, tell me why you fucking make it
Now, I've made mind up and decided you are wrong
Got to find a way of fighting you, without being atom bombed


Big Hard Man :

Why can't you just leave me alone?
I can't even go out on my own
Stupid bastard you can stare
You'd like to punch me if you dare
You think you're clever in your gang
You wear the same clothes and talk in slang
You discuss the people you'd like to hit
But I know you, you stupid tit
You'd like to punch me but you're not quite sure
‘Cos I might hit back and break your jaw
I could even kill some cunt
And be like you in the National Front
Supporting England and standing proud
Seek protection in the crowd
Fucking hell we must be tough
Just watch me punch this poof
And, yes, let's go out with the lads
But don't forget the latest fads
Spouting shit like “ban the bomb”
Let's fuck all under the sun
You've slaughtered them once, you'll do it again
Grow rich of their backs
Your school teachers and history
But hide all the facts


Terrorist Attack :

Well, there's the Baader-Meinoff
Yeah, they had their chances
And there's the P. L. O.
They took their stances
It's a terrorist attack
Run for your lives
They'll shoot you in the back
Run for your life
The I. R. A. with nail bombs
They'll blow you up if you don't wake up
The I. R. A. with nail bombs
Northern Ireland, what a fuck up


Stand Up :

Listen to the things you say
About the things you don't understand
Trying to be different, it's your fault you reprimand
‘Cos I don't wanna be like you, I don't wanna look like you (x2)
You've gotta fight for what you want, stand up for what you believe x2)
A family at eighteen, the media call it normal
So fuck this bloody system and don't be so formal


Civil War :

It's the goodies and the baddies all again
Breaking up the boredom by killing other men
Can't you see it's us and them (x2)
The country's split in two and we're heading for civil war
You'd better run and hide, hide from the war
Now it isn't even safe to walk the streets at night
There's people looking for a decent meal to eat tonight


Secret Agent :

I'm hooked on some addicting agent
Society itself is part of the problem
Live each day with mixed up ideas
Thinking about tomorrows tension and fears
Pills to wake me, pills to waste me
Kill my brain, tranquilise me
My mind is gone, I'm slave to a drug
Now, I'm gonna scream
I've had enough
I'm having trouble with sex
My mind won't leave it alone
Left in a state of fantasy
With no escape to reality
Don't stand there and look down on me
Or try to make me into something I don't want to be
Don't try to tell me how to talk
Or you'll make the inside of my head go


City Fodder :

I don't want this fucking crap
Feeding me this or telling me that
I don't wanna work in a scabby factory
Just more fodder for the sick society
I just wanna have some fun
Don't wanna shoot no fucking gun
Just wanna have some fun
Take it all in and make your brain go numb
I won't go to Argentina
And be a victim of the media
I don't wanna fight in their stupid war
Or be a victim of their cause
They've signed their papers
And picked their fight
Let them do what's ‘only right'
Kill and cripple, maim and suffer
But not to me or any other


Annihilation No. 3 :

Third time round, the big one
And no-one will survive
Just count the days, we're in a maze
And no-one gets out alive
Annihilation number three (x4)
So don't plan any future
‘Cos you haven't got the time
Just do the very best you can
‘Cos your life is on the line
ONE … What's the use?
TWO … What's to gain?
THREE … No-one wins




DECAPITATED :

Decapitated :

Her name was Jane, she lived alone
She had to go out, out to the phone
She had to cross the moor that night
She was all alone, and out of site
She was decapitated (x4)
There was a flash of steel,
And a lot of blood
She could not scream
He had cut her throat
He tore her body, limb from limb
He liked to kill, he loved to sin
She was decapitated (x4)
Her name was Jane, she lived alone
She had to go out, out to the phone
She had to cross the moor that night
She was all alone, and out of site
I saw the girl, the one who's dead
I saw her walking, without her head
She walked before me, before my eyes
I saw the blood, I heard her cries
She got decapitated
Now I remember, it's coming clear
I had the axe, she had the fear
She had the body, I had the lust
She didn't want me, so die she must


I. O. U. :

IOU (x4)
Nothing, I owe you nothing (x2)
IOU (x4)
Nothing, I owe you nothing (x2)
Nothing, I owe you nothing (x2)
When Mum & Dad are old and grey
When they've sent, sent you away
When I'm not, I'm not there
You'll stand on your own, own and stare
Nothing, I owe you nothing (x2)
IOU
Nothing


Problem :

I know this world's got problems
But I just don't care anymore
Just turn my back and face away
Try and make it through another day
This problem's got a hold on me
I need to be set free
This problem's got a hold on me
Understand, it's gonna kill me
Running round, pissed again
Everything seems better
So I close my eyes, enjoy the peace
But there's another problem, there's no release
Got to hang on for just one more try
Got to do it before I die
I need assistance, I need it quick
Or the future's gonna look so bleak


Liquidated Brains :

Going to the pub, It's Saturday Night
Cashed my giro, feelin' alright
Been two weeks without any money
Now I'm drunk, I think it's funny
I'm sitting down, I've got a drink
I'm too fucked, I just can't think
Leave me alone, I'm on my own
Get out of my brain, just leave me alone
I was only sitting at the front
And they're all fighting, what's the point
Thatchers' system and drinking beer
Has destroyed their brains and made them fear
Made them fear (x3) Destroyed their brains and made them fear


Seeing through my eyes :

I've got no friends to call my own
Inside my head, my mind is blown
I love and hate you all the same time
Can someone tell me what is wrong with my mind
Seeing through my eyes
When I talk to you, I know you're telling me lies
I can't trust you as seen through my eyes
Is it some sort of conspiracy
To me hate you and you to hate me
You make me think that you're my friend
While others around you start to offend
Criticise the way I dress and talk
I wish you'd drop dead or take a walk


The Point of Agony :

USSR and USA, they fight their wars from far away
So why must we control our hate
When this whole world's in a massive state
It hurts so bad this way of life
In pain, in war, in love, in strife
Revival or relapse, which is the key
To break Britain out of its' agony
SS20 and SS5, they will burn us all alive
If it's not tomorrow, it'll be today
And we just don't know how far away
So, don't tell us what we already know
We're so confused, who's friend or foe?
Exposure to all the hate and lies
Be what you want to be, don't close your eyes


Never Say Die :

I don't give a damn if you live or die
I don't even care if you crash or fly
Take my place in the human race
And let the whole world go bang in your face
Never say die! Gonna be the best
Never say die! Don't care about the rest
Never say die! We're never gonna stop
Never say die! Until you drop
You know you set my World on fire
You fill me with a burning desire
There ain't no use for me to explain
What you do to me is inhumane


Death is Imminent :

There's going to be a war, rejoice rejoice
Hear the people cheer, rejoice, rejoice
You're all gonna pay , rejoice, rejoice
In a second not a day, rejoice, rejoice
I'd like to make it perfectly clear
You're all gonna die, die d'you hear?
I'd like to make it perfectly clear
If you're gonna die, don't die round here
I'd like to make it perfectly clear
You're all gonna die, die d'you hear?
No matter what you say or do
They're gonna win, them - not you
Like a pure white angel sent from God
Flying above you, it's after your blood
No way of escaping, it sees all
No way of living, it destroys all
I love my family, oh please don't die
They need to protect us, that's a lie
Stop, wait, think for a minute
It's no use now, ‘cos death is imminent
