Yet Another Anthem
02:44

Please rise for yet another anthem
Please rise for yet another anthem
Hand on heart and voices proud
Patriotism is allowed if everybody else is singing too
The words are beaten in to you til you turn a shade of true blue
If you wear the khaki shorts you’ll hold the tune
Please rise for yet another anthem
Please rise for yet another anthem
The choice is what sets us apart
To join in song or never start
And fold your arms and look the other way
A flag is kindling to some
Whilst others proudly grab their guns
And protest the protesters union
Please rise for yet another anthem
Please rise for yet another anthem
Let us all rejoice
For given us the choice
To sing it out of key
And fuck up rhythmically
And make up half the words
And take the piss out of the absurd idea that we should all sit here
And sing this shithouse anthem pausing momentarily to drink our beers
Please rise for yet another anthem
Please rise for yet another anthem

Flee For Your Life
03:11

They said the world was flat
The said that the bad guys won’t be back
They said there's weapons to be found in tunnels beneath the ground but you’ll be safe with us around because we said so
They said that the boat can’t sink
They said that water’s safe to drink
They said the monkeys in the trees are giving out free STD’s but you won’t catch the HIV because we said so
So oh, oh, oh
Flee for your life
So oh, oh, oh
You have nothing to fear
Unless they’re right
They said that the birds can’t sneeze
They said there’s no such thing as killer bees
They said no one can fuck with us if we keep blowing the stuff up but it’ll never be enough because we said so
They said that big rocks will fall
They said that space monkeys will kill us all
The said the digits on the screen at 12 o’clock will be wiped clean but your details will not be seen because we said so
So oh, oh, oh
Flee for your life
So oh, oh, oh
You have nothing to fear
Unless they’re right
What do you care?
What do you know?
Fingers in my ears
And my eyes are closed
Don’t tell me they didn’t tell you so
The answers always close
But nowhere near my horoscope
Have another drink and go to sleep
And pray to lord my soul to keep
Be glad to be of the meek
And so whatever happens
You know you’re not alone
But science there is nothing if god wont get off the phone
Nostradamus was a newsreader
He got told what to say
The higher powers that be always put him in his place
And they tiptoe through the minefields sure they’ll be OK.
And you’ll flee (Flee for your life)
For your life
Don’t turn around (Flee for your life)
Keep moving towards the light
And you’ll flee (Flee for your life)
For your life
Don’t turn around (Flee for your life)
Keep moving towards the light
So oh, oh, oh
Flee for your life
So oh, oh, oh
You have nothing to fear
Unless they’re right

And then I came crashing down to earth
Draped in nothing but a shirt
A costume and legacy
And now there’s good deeds to be done
Evil men with evil guns
To be vanquished by me
But that is just a stupid fantasy
I’m no super entity
Plus I’m scared of the enemy
War, death, famine and disease
Versus super nobody
Seems like an unfair match to me
Where have all the superheroes gone
It’s about time that we got one
The signals been shining for months
As we crawl up from the debris
Why won’t someone come save me
The emperors already won
Where have all the super heroes gone
Not a single survivor
Not a breathing ma’am or sir
And not a costumed man in sight
How I wish I was the chosen one
But I’m the worst kind of weapon
Pissed, scared and looking for a fight
Where have all the superheroes gone
It’s about time that we got one
The signals been shining for months
As we crawl up from the debris
Why won’t someone come save me
The emperors already won
Where have all the super heroes gone
Gone but not forgotten
Never showed in the first place
The bad guys always get away
For the goods not in the race
I could be wrong
They could be here
With the power to just disappear
But they aint mastered reappearing yet
And that’s the essence of the trick they say
Here I come to save the day
Up up up and away
Why do we turn to the make believe?
In our most desperate times of need
Still we could really use your help
Come help us save us from ourselves

To the minister of housing, I fucking hate you
You slept with your brothers cousin and she’s your fucking mother too
Do you want some of this?
Well come and bring the shit
Could the minister of housing please take his seat
Final thought
Questions are asked as answers
It’s a game of pass the blame to the next dumb bastard
Final thought
There’s solutions to find but you bet your ass they wont be found at Jerry Springer question time
Tell me Mr. Speaker
Would it be Ok?
If you, me and the treasurer engage in a three way?
To the minister of trade
I’ve got something to say
Being treasurer sucks dick
I’m off to join the KKK

Taking Back the World
03:55
|
|||

Acid rain is great if you’re watching from inside
To watch umbrellas melt is funny everytime
U.V rays are fine if you wear a hat with flaps
You’ll look like a fucking tourist but you won’t ever need skin grafts
But it gets personal
When tides are biblical
Heat waves aren’t seasonal
Nature’s won the battle but the war has just begun
Coz we’re
Taking back
We’re taking back
We’re taking back the world
Taking back
We’re taking back
We’re taking back the world
Spray your cans up to the sky
Litter til the natives cry
Get your fourby off the streets
And straight through old growth forestry
Let your waste drop where it falls
Who gives a shit coz this means war
Man V Earth, it’s it or us
Paradise is a parking lot
Global warming’s here and the ozone’s looking bleak
But summers all year round now so don’t fix that exhaust leak
Earthquakes make great TV so do twister and lighting
The world’s funniest disasters always gets decent ratings
Taking over, come join the cause
Taking over, what once was ours
I claim this land in the name of man so I shall do all that I can to make the earths surface reflect exactly what my sex does best
Taking over, come join the cause
Taking over, what once was ours
If weather is an act of god environmentalists are fucked, religiously recycling on Sunday kneel down to your bins
Taking back the world
The futures for our boys and girls
Taking back the world
It may be dark but at least it’s ours

The Last Laugh

The prophecy
Chap 1 Verse 3
That may be why I’m at the highest point with no help down
My slate is clean
I’ve never been obscene
I’ve never been anything
But loyal to your everything
Sinners don’t you laugh at me
I’m a fucking prophecy
I’m a holy entity
I’m Jesus 2 on Judgment Day
I’m the word of god
The word ain’t good
Start building arks
Get lots of wood
Look whose laughing now
A cracking read, a source of constant inspiration
The reason I get up each day, the book of revelation
Now I’m naked on a mountain screaming save my soul
So look whose laughing now
So here I am
With sacred text in hand
I read between the lines
Then pictures magically appear
My fashion sense
Been labeled as different
It takes a certain man to wear a sandwich board with such conviction
We are the vote
We are the prey
We are the voice
Of the doomsday
We are the light
To guide your way
We are the ones you must obey
We are the spiritual elite
We are the blessed and the meek
We are all of god’s people
Except the gays
For they are evil
And then you’ll see
That I was right
And you’ll be dead
And so will I
I’ll be reborn
In paradise
No sinners there
No one in sight

That’s hot
Like, wow
Like, whatever
That’s hot
Like, wow
Like, whatever
I live in the plastic age evolving up from stone
My tools seem somewhat primitive til my plans changed with a new phone
Colonics for the third world kids and botox for my dog
Change its name to Tinkerbell and piss the whole world off
I taste all my meals twice, going up and going down
Salmon has been known to like swimming upstream anyhow
I’m twisted and I’m evil
More silicone than man
I’ve created a monster and it’s covered in fake tan
I, I, I
I’m the every girl dream
I, I, I
I’m the hottest thing you’ve ever seen
Now some say all these facelifts are going to my head
But fuck the ugly people
I wish they all were dead
I wish I was as pretty as half the Olsen twins
I wish I was in rehab with the E.T cameras a rollin’
Birthday vouchers for boob jobs
And lipo for Christmas
I bought the cutest little t-shirt that reads “I am a dumb slut”
I’ve been on the pill since back before my training wheels
I’ve been lying on my back trying to get a movie deal
Everybody wants a piece of me and that I understand
If you grab em too hard baby they might come off in your hand
I’ve fucked in all the Hiltons, in Paris around the world
Their service was appalling so I stole all there towels
We worship the Lohan’s and the Britney’s and the Duff’s
If created in their image, then they created us
We came to mourn the passing of every bloated bitch
No tears for unknown soldiers but buckets for that Nicole Smith
Eating gives you cancer and we know this to be true
If I die make sure no fat people come to my funeral
Get Dolce & Gabbana to make my tombstone
I want Ashleigh Simpson miming to the death march as lowered down
I can’t believe that I got buried in last seasons dress
That’s an ugly persons revenge
How I wish they all were dead
I wish they all were dead
I wish they all were dead
The fat the weird and the ugly
They’re all my fucking enemies
I wish they all were dead
I wish they all were dead
Why should I try to take pity when they don’t try to look like me
It’s I, I, I
Yeah it’s all about me
I’m the best thing that you could ever be
I, I, I
Is my trademark yell
I’m a designer disaster in a faintly transparent shell
That’s hot
Like, wow
Like, whatever
That’s hot
Like, wow
Like, whatever

IF you want to make a difference why not send a monthly pittance to a shoeless little bastard to help with his long distance
YOU can write a somber ditty, swelling with great chunks of pity about the plight of hungry people who will never get to hear it
CAN a song of protest be heard over the insurgence who sing along to metal like the catchy sound of shrapnel
READ between the lines and in the lyrics you will find that nobody’s ever changed the world preaching along to basic chords
No one’s listening
So let me say this one last thing
Please don’t search for meaning
In any words you have to sing
THIS is the second verse and it’s as pointless as the first but it gives off the cool impression that we’re here to learn a lesson
THEN when the message hits the powers that be will insist upon putting it to action to the peoples satisfaction
YOU’RE the voice so make it clear and then get the fuck out of here and buy yourself a book that doesn’t involve Garfield
NOT that it matters anyway, no one will hear a word you say
You’ll get just before the end
The missing word is LISTENING
Free Mumia
Cage the machine
Imagine all the people
With as much money as me
U.S forces, gave the nod
It sets back the country
But I got a cool job
(Ghandi sucked on the keytar
Che could never win at Singstar
Marx didn’t have much rhythm
Engels couldn’t keep time with him
Steve Biko and Mandela’s country album was a failure
What would we have become if Dr. King’s album went platinum)
Punk is dead
Punk is dead
Why not try yoga instead?
Punk is dead
Punk is dead
And why would we resurrect
Punk is dead
Punk is dead
These words have lost all meaning
Punk is dead
Punk is dead
Good thing nobody’s listening)

Colourful Napalm
08:03
|
|||
|
Now that the guns have fell silent
There’s no need to be violent
The good guys pose for pictures
And plan singing careers
The enemy now vanquished and off to the pub for beers
So history is written
Just spellcheck it and it’s done
Could somebody please wake me when the next one has begun
Or I’ll take my ball and I’ll go home
Now I got no one to play with
And you can’t seesaw on your own
And it doesn’t make any sense
In a world without violence
How are we supposed to kill time?
Everybody wants peace but nobody can take me alive
Evolutions one thing but this monkey needs action tonight
So kill em all and then our time will return
When we watch the white flags burn
And we’ll break out the celebrations with colourful napalm
And we’ll dance across the flames on the pacifists remains
And we’ll break out the celebrations with colourful napalm
And it doesn’t make any sense
In a world without violence
How are we supposed to kill time?
Simulations help me but 2-D can’t placate me this time
Rambo stops the cravings but I’d rather we trade places or sides
Please let me outside
I promise to be good
My toys are locked away
I swear to not paint red the neighbourhood
Violence is dead
Shot right through the head
By P.C terrorists
That shoot then question…
Now guns get the girls
And bombs run the world
If we kill them all
Then we’ll never learn…
Evolution teaches us to beat weaker species to a pulp
This once upon a time was fact
When dogs were wolves and the earth was flat
To remain calm we’ll never learn to settle our conflicts
The sad thing about history is that nobody remembers it
