INSIGHT INTO IGNORANCE Our distinct lack of compassion When it comes to the lives of each other Is bred from indelible ignorance Deep within our minds An insight into anguish An insight into ignorance So how do we cultivate wisdom From a total complete disregard? When the world all around us is woven Within this fabric of lies But there's no reprieve Whilst remaining blind And lacking in empathy To open our minds
2.
Media-ocracy 02:51
MEDIA-OCRACY A media ran by the wealthy elite Deflecting scrutiny from liars and cheats Dictate the views of everyday Joe Discredit those who dare to oppose Set the narrative with subtlety Only showing what they want you to see From each stinking pore seeps a treacherous lie Deny, imply, comply - goodbye How much of this shit are you willing to eat? FEED, FEED, FEED, FEED Churnalism for PR and lies Mute debates until chaos subsides Media moguls' precept the tone Protect interests of their own Narcissism the dish of the day Starvation a small price to pay Leaders hellbent on saving their own skin The needs of the people will never win The eluding dream is a dream of truth Greed and treachery outweighing proof Means to an end to which we all succumb Is this what defines us? What we have become? Allegiance pledged to high-paying parties Smear campaigns once funding’s started Distract, divert, detract, mislead Vital tools to ensure the con succeeds Play the public like the church play the pious Clever wordsmiths reinforce bias Puppet masters pulling strings Reap the rewards corruption brings

BORDER CON/TROLL Gathered in hundreds Foaming at the jaws On a demo for En-gur-land With cum-stained rags Fuck’s sake Here we go again Will they ever learn? The right is on the rise again The left in disarray History repeated Groundhog Day Braindead, misguided Absurd sense of pride They ex-pats or migrants? Direction decides ‘Demand homes and jobs for the English, not the foreigners coming on dinghies, It’s arr cuntry, we gotta save it, we owe it to George to defend it…’ No. Ahmed hasn’t taken your job, mate, you can barely fuckin read Talk the talk, not the walk when the time comes, like when your ‘own people’ are in need
4.
Eco-Collapse 03:35
ECO-COLLAPSE The end is edging closer, we’ll soon shake the hand of death Mankind has a lot to answer, but no time left to catch its breath Our arrogance is fuckin sickening, yet comes as no surprise Always took the things we wanted, whether dead or alive Warning, warning we never heed the warnings We sit and watch Gaia decline Natural order be ‘refined’ We’ve abused and misused, let the rape continue Annihilation now awaits As the earth collapses, beneath our weight Excuse destructive actions on some vile pretense of need Yet the truth’s so much simpler, it’s our own unwaning greed We’re ramping up the pressure, her knees will buckle soon In the end just one thing matters, that profit margins boom We’ve now outstayed our welcome, these burnt bridges can’t be repaired Mother Nature is fucking raging, human race is running scared A never-ending urge to progress, the eternal crown of thorns Mass graves of our extinction, await with open arms
5.
UNEASY REFLECTION Do you feel forgotten? Do you feel ignored? Living a life, you can barely afford? Your sole purpose to merely survive… Do you fear for your future and that of your kids? Desperate pleas always dismissed? Lost in a place you once called your home? You have more in common with a refugee Than some warmonger, self-serve MP You’d move the mountains for those you love Break the law, do what you could Bet you wouldn’t give it a second thought Does a change of guard mean nothing at all? Simply what your abuser’s called? Stay put in fear, or run in hope? Divert your pent-up frustrations Towards those that uphold the power To the cunts getting rich and other sly benefits Stoking this shit shower It’s those who reign above you Who continue to punch down Not those propped up beside you To make you look the clown Filthy fucking parasites
6.
WAITING TO DIE It's all downhill from here on out Won't be long until death’s hanging around It's how we choose to face these facts And what we do with the time left When your time's up, you'll rue the day You never pushed yourself in any way Won't turn the tide that's drowning you But maybe it'll take you somewhere... Your life has no pause Yet you still waste yours No joker, just fool Surprise! Life's cruel Stagnation is your habitat Two steps forward, another two steps back Easy to go around in circles Pretend you don't give a... It’s never too late to live your life But you're just waiting, waiting to die
7.
Entitled 01:47
ENTITLED Sold as a new age Gandhi, preaching love, peace and respect A mask you've fabricated which took decades to perfect Beneath there lies a bitterness, playing pity violins Despite the self-promotion, the veil is wearing thin You live your life, inside a bubble Making it out, you’re the only one who struggles Shoot down success, to express your great unrest That you go without your own clout, so lashing out Devoid of adulation, on which you wish to feed Don’t get what you want, or what you need Self-centered, self-important, feel the world owes you a debt Yet the acts that you bestow, always bring you benefits Mental health’s a reason but don't excuse the way you act Whilst you're out firing shots, the rest of us have things to unpack
8.
A GRAVEYARD FOR CHILDREN Applaud the murder of innocent souls Attempt to align with political goals Abhorrent actions are being displayed Obstructing supplies, stopping the aid Children are children, the absolute truth Taken no sides in your brutal dispute Broken bodies, all kindling for the flames Lives on the line, fucking insane This obscene crazed machine That turns dreams into screams Under the rubble, the pitiful sobs Left at whim of capricious gods Death toll rises day after day Patient bodies burn in their beds Tear gas burns inquisitive eyes Ears pierced by government lies An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Media sells their version of ‘truth’
9.
CONSTRUCT OF HATE Blackened hearts and poisoned tongues Spouting shit, they know is wrong A fragile front that they portray To disguise anxiety What’s your fuckin problem? What are you afraid of? Where does this hate get you? Does it really enrich your life? Protect your frail masculinity? Prejudice runs rife Losing shit over personal preference Dislike based upon skin tone Plead the case then fight the fight for Identity that is unknown Your jaundiced eyes casting the judgement On anything beyond your pale Your biased mindset of revulsion Causes all to sadly fail Imagine two girls to jerk your junk Yet two guys makes you sick It ain’t no real concern of yours Where two blokes stick their dicks So, lance the boil crippling this scene Burn the flesh of all gangrene Free punk of this pointless bullshit Or else the end will be foreseen
10.
AUTUMN STATEMENT Another year of barely scraping by An ever-widening gap of economic divide No tragic mistake, it’s by flawless design Keep you peasants on the poverty line They swim in profit, we drown in shit They’re levelling down and we’re paying for it The rich get richer, poor stay poor Same old score we’ve heard all before A police force endorsed by a million screams Manipulative media pulling the strings Feeble presidents and cancerous kings These are a few of my favourite kinks Forced to our knees, unable to pay Want you to grovel in some power play Pomp and pageantry, tragic hilarity Drawing lines with shameless clarity Zombie parliaments, drooling jaws Relentless compulsion: to abuse the poor Winter is coming, you’re going to freeze Probably starve, or have assets seized Remedy one, the other you lose Agony of choice but you have to choose
11.
BLEAK OUTLOOK As kids we were encouraged to dream big and aim high Told our hopes will be fulfilled, to reach the clear blue sky As years begin to pass, we learn these words were lies We are born, do as we’re told, paid a pittance, then we die So don’t hope for a better future, a plan’s already in place Ain’t up for negotiation, no matter how strong the case Absorb theory, apply the skills, make 'the man' a million bucks Given hope within reason, but dreams will turn to dust There is no freedom - you can't escape There is no freedom - you must accept Life’s full of false promises, freedom being number one Walk the same well-trodden path, like those before have done Time for you to accept your fate, keep quiet and don’t complain Vow never to rock the boat, nor step outside of your lane You’re there to provide the means, so silk-stockings live it large Sup it up, get in line, under orders, ‘play your part’ It's all fuckin cut and dry, your class dictates your role In these lower echelons, no roads are paved with gold Pete and Repeat are from different classes… Pete’s elite - who's fucked? Pete’s happy living his life; Repeat is a long-time dead Remember you're the clown Your life’s the joke
12.
TROPHY KILLING Propagate all the stunning species for one sadistic purpose So, some sick fuck can pay cash to make some disturbing purchase Permit another notch on the butt of a perverted collector's rifle It's barbaric, games for fun and not human survival There's no honour in this slaughter A vessel of pride holds no water There's no honour in this slaughter As the horror unfolds Thrill-kill - death spasm Hair-trigger - orgasm No sporting chance, no thrill of the chase All in bad taste Trust me, you're no 'King of the Jungle' - more like a prick in the park Safely behind walls of enclosure, contrast patently stark Exercising your 'God-given right' Reinforcing your impotent might
13.
Bootlicker 02:06
BOOTLICKER I don’t think some of you understand, how much a billion sterling is You could earn over five million a year, and still die well short of it ‘But they work really hard, we can’t punish them for their success’ They only have this kind of wealth due to cheap labour expense There ain’t no billionaires with a moral compass There ain’t no billionaires that give a fuck Some schmucks earning 50k, swinging round on big daddy’s dick In the trenches, defending him against left wing politics ‘It’s Johnny Foreigners over here, is why this country is in such a mess…’ I find it hard to comprehend that people like this exist Class traitors praying one day soon, that they’ll reach the top table too Only one way to seal a place - that’s stepping in a dead man’s shoes ‘If you work really hard and apply yourself, then you’ll get everything you deserve…’ A passport to easy street is inherited at birth
14.
WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE Cornerstone of the district, respected far and wide Prestige of family name and perks that it provides Conveying an image of refinement, and poise But won’t be deprived of a ‘legitimate joy’ Slip into pinks and the Jodhpurs Roundup the horses and hounds Horns beckon the morning sunshine Parade hamlets and towns Advocate for customs, traditions to be upheld Business to protect, resistance to be quelled Roads lined with patrons, to oppose the unwashed Out to defend the hunt at all costs Send out spotters and henchmen To intimidate and derail Dish out physical violence The sabs are entering hell Theres no justice For slashed tyres, smashed windscreens There’s no justice For damaged property, threatening screams There’s no justice For trespassing, cars run off the road As the law don’t apply In fields on horseback, a trail hunt is claimed Secretly vying, for some flesh to be maimed As dogs pick up a scent, the huntsman gets hard Moments later - the fox is torn apart Don’t fear repercussions Their type never do An arrogance unwavering The hunt rolls on through It’s all been caught on a camera You see them breaking the law Exchange favours and handshakes It won’t even make it to court…
