1.Anti-U.K.

No way to halt them
Resign to your fate
Do you let them drag you down
So they can celebrate
Anarchys rising again
To rid their hellish schemes
Lets all rule ourselves
Let god save the queen
They're anti uk
Whom do we trust
With their pre-election lies
All they give are promises
Policies to hypnotise
Smooth tounged liars
Intelluctual men
Now their power crazy
They'll destroy us all in the end
They're anti uk
Anarchys rising again
To rid their hellish schemes
Lets all rule ourselves
Let god save the queen
They're anti uk



2.Power Struggle

Missiles in america
Deep down in the ground
They're pointing straight at russia
They're pointing all around
A small red button gently pressed
Will set those missiles free
And when they land with one big bang
The end of you and me
America leaders - who'll start the war
Soviet leaders - who'll start the war
Theres missiles in the u.s.s.r
Pointing straight at you
Aimed at the united states of america
Aimed at britain too
A small red button gently pressed
Will set those missiles free
And when they land with one big bang
No hope for you and me
America leaders - who'll start the war
Soviet leaders - who'll start the war
American leaders
Who'll start the war
Who'll be a cowboy
What's the missiles for



3.Scaling The Derry Wall

Careless people shot
Innocent people killed
Little children injured
Blood and brain spilled
Scalling the derry wall
No conscience for those involved
Freedom their only call
Hiding behind black masks
Scaling the derry wall
Scaling the derry wall
One way communications
Nobody really cares
Of the soldiers who stand their guard
Protecting while they dare
Scaling the derry wall
All mothers sons they volunteer
Unaware of their destiny
Serving for their government
Across the irish sea
Scaling the derry wall
Serving an argument
Created long ago
Who it benefits and who it kills
Nobody wants to know
Scaling the derry wall
So if you sign up for a career
And play the governments farce
Take your gun and tell them
Stick it up your arse



4.Barry Prossit

Lyin in a stone cold room
Some would call a cell
For poor old barry prossit
This one had just been hell
The screws went in with batons out
And took this young mans life
They left behind a family
A heartbroken widowed wife
Barry prossit dead
The papers screamed for justice
Put these men in jail
Ha barrys friends and family
Knew that this would fail
The screws at last were brought to court
The charges then were read
But no-one really knew for sure
Who rendered barry prossits dead
Barry prossit dead
The verdict came as no great shock
To those who knew the score
And behind that prison walls that night
There was an angry roar
But life goes on as normal
In all the british nicks
Cos after all what can you say
To men who carry sticks



5.Don't Really Care

Put you on a youth training scheme
A pittance for you to pay
Altering dole figures for their own means
While we slave away
They don't really care
If we speak out
We're anti uk
We're commies - lefties
Be locked away
Speak out in school
Get your knuckles rapped
Speak out in society
Your telephone tapped
They don't really care
Play along with the tory games
Happy as could be
Confused about who to vote for
Invest the s.d.p
They don't really care
Government say they have no money
But bye missiles by the score
Sick people die poor people starve
The government just don't care



6.No Forgiveness

His father was tortured
Right in front of his eyes
His mother was raped
She was left to die
He sworn to get even
Even if he had to die himself
He knew the law was going to get him
No forgiveness
Tonight they're all going to die
Burning hatred clouds his mind
The look on his face was cold and grey
A burning venegance what drives him on
I pitty those about to die tonight
No forgiveness
Tonight they're all going to die
He stands near the spot
Where his parents died
2 years now gone since the tragic day
He remembers the priest asking forgiveness
They'll never take him back alive



7.Death Before Dishonour

With the rising of the morning sun
We will remember them
At the going down of the evening sun
We shall remember them
Death before dishonour
Death before dishonour
Through ignorance and fear
Once a year we will bow our heads
A two minute silence for the military dead
Bugles blow and wreaths are lain
Marching columns with banners stained
Death before dishonour
Death before dishonour
Through ignorance and fear



8.Adding To Their Fears

They don't understand us
Safety pins and leathers
Better than being a drag queen
False eye-lashes and leathers
Better than mugging old ladies
Or raping innocent girls
Or haning around kids playground
Looking for cheap thrills
We're adding to their fears
They don't like how we look
Our hairstyle or our gear
Ignorance only make them worse
Adding to their fears
They often take one look at us
Their expression says it all
In their world of ego building
We don't rate at all
We're adding to their fears
They acted the same when others came
With drapes and blue suede shoes
Reggae and heavy metal
Jazz and grass roots blues
Prince charles might like break dancing
And di might just like funk
But we don't give a fucking shit
Cause we're still playing to the punks



9.Police Informer

Don't tell him where you've been
And don't tell him who you've seen
You'll end up locked away
Cos he'll call the cops
Tell them what he seen
Police informer
Police informer
Police informer
You'll end up dead
Don't tell him what you've got
And don't talk about your mates
Cos he'll grass them up as well
Got to fix him before its too late
Police informer
Police informer
Police informer
You'll end up dead



10.Drive Me Insane

They're trying to drive me
Drive me insane
They make my life so fucking mundane
Turn over a car
Turn over a flat
Uncaring rich bastards
Can only push me so far
They're driving
Me completely insane
They're driving
Us completely insane
No shame on their faces
No pity or care
They live on the riches
While the country stripped bare
Trident protects them
Their possossions not us
They tax all the people
They make you pay up
Me completely insane
They're driving
Us completely insane
File your life
From birth to death
Stuff their rules down your throat
They think they know best
You try to ignore them they wont go away
Step out of line
And they'll lock you away
Me completely insane
They're driving
Us completely insane



11.Pulling You Down

10 times the man
But no time to prove
That in a grasping society
You can be of use
They're pulling you down
No-one to talk to
No-one seems to care
Theres an easy way out
But you just don't know
If you dare
They're pulling you down
The bedsits expensive
The moneys not enough
Leisure times available
But even leisure cost
They're pulling you down
The job you had is gone now
The man next door the same
All pathetic victims
Of the government high
Power games
They're pulling you down
So listen to the crisis
The schemes that just don't work
To keep the people blind folded
They keep the workless down
They're pulling you down
