4. Society
5. Who's Gonna Fight in the 3rd World War?
6. Human ErrorThe government are real good to us
They crowd in their shelters and let us die
The nuclear holocaust won’t last long
White turns to black in the skyChorus: You build your demolition war
What the hell are you fighting for?You keep your peace with the starving countries
The Cambodians have to be fed
But can’t you see we’ve got our problems?
You’re taxing us to buy tons of leadChorus
Labor can take the businesses over
Because they’ve got the “worker’s rights”
A choice of three for democracy
And they’re all parasitesChorus
Parasites - taking over the country!
Parasites - taking over your home!
Parasites - taking over your mind!Get away from the window
The D.S. are outside
The little packets in our pockets
Stuff we gotta hide
Sitting in a corner of a disco
Mouth stuck in a bag
It’s hard to fake the high intake
It turns your brain real bad
Crush a barb put it in a syringe
Stick it in your arm
Let the feeling crawl to your head
It won’t do you no harm
Sniffing sulfate up my nose
Doing it for a “joke”
It makes the world spin so fast
Things go better with cokeEver since they put you away
Things haven’t been quite the same
They cut off all your lovely hair
And gave you a brand new brain
Sent you to a university
Cos that was the next step up
Studying sociology
They gave you a plastic cupChorus: What happened to you with your brand new brain?
What will they do if they get you again?
Animal! Coming to get you!
Animal! Cos you went insane!Your new brain was working really well
And they were satisfied
They thought they’d done a miracle
But you had something to hide
They left a bit of your old brain
Stuck inside your skull
That bit screwed up your culture
You became an animalChorus
One night you were drinking
In the student bar
Two pints blew your animal mind
Your brain just went too far
The laughter turned to slaughter
You took all you could get
Now you sit alone in a disco
Smoking cigarettesChorus
Our society what a drag
Another nervous breakdown another fag
You can’t get to sleep cos you lost your pills
And the protein tablets make you illChorus: Our society- what a drag!
Drive around in a smashed up car
Sometimes you wonder who you are
You look depressed as you walk upstairs
Cos you lost your job and no one caresChorus
See the policemen running round
Driving culture underground
They get paid to put you away
Cos that’s how the system works these daysChorus
Join the people on the Dole
They lost interest years ago
What hope is there for you and me?
If this is our society?Chorus
5. Who’s Gonna Fight in the Third World War?
The government talks about conscription
Another self-imposed restriction
Their excuse is no conviction
Patriotism: It’s all fictionChorus: There ain’t no patriots here no more
Who’s gonna fight in the third world war?Everyone knows it just ain’t right
Don’t we get the chance to live or die?
They give us hardship all our life
And when we refuse they wonder whyChorus
Well I won’t fight for my country
Cos the government wouldn’t fight for me
They can’t afford the Dole money
So they’ll put the unemployed in the armyChorus
There’s a bomb going off in Belfast
There’s a war in Vietnam
There’s a T.V. documentary
To help you understand
But the other channel is better
Cos it doesn’t tax your mind
Relax in the ignorance of your home
As man destroys mankind
And the rest of the world has gone to sleep
Because they couldn’t care less
The world is going, so am I
It’s such a bloody mess
There’s an arms race in America
The race that no one wins
If somebody pushed the button
The “accidental” sin
Meanwhile baby wonders
“What’s a nuclear war?”
And mummy says “to tell the truth, I’m really not quite sure”
And the rest of the world was ignorant
Because they weren’t told more
The pamphlet said “Just stay at home, avoid the threat of war”
The computer pressed the button
The rain was full of lead
And more bombs dropped on Belfast
And Vietnam went dead
The T.V. Documentary
Outlined the possible cause
It was just a human error
Because man invented war
And the rest of the world has gone to hell
Because they never cared more
The children cried before they died
So this is nuclear war
