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

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

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

Uneasy Reflection

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

Waiting to Die

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

Entitled

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

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’

Construct of Hate

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

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

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

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

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

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…
