Subhumans - Reason for Existence (EP) - Lyrics

1. Big City
2. Peroxide
3. Reason for Existence
4. Cancer
 

1. Big City

Here we are in the big big city
Plenty of ways to spend your money
Getting ripped off is a way of life
Stick your money on a (?) Knife

Chorus: Nononono it’s too shitty
I don’t want to live in the big big city

Tourist attractions look at that!
Buy me a plastic policeman’s hat
But there’s a riot uptown they’re fighting back
And the boys in blue are wearing black

Chorus

Flying squad what a farce
If pigs could fly they wouldn’t need cars
Got control over us all
New Scotland Yard the new Berlin Wall

Chorus

Give me a break don’t tell me
That life is great in the big city
It’s all based on money and greed
Everything you’ll never need

Chorus

2. Peroxide

Peroxide girl with a false ID
Lost and lonely she can’t see
Peroxide hair and burnt out eyes
Blinded by so many lies

Chorus: Peroxide! Peroxide!
Because nobody cares?
What do you do?
You dye your hair

Her hair was just a boring mess
She had never known success
Saw the punks they didn’t care
Walked around with peroxide hair

Chorus

Now she’s out of trouble cos her hair is white
And the punks all think “she’s all right”
But she is blind her face is red
Peroxide soaked into her head

Chorus

3. Reason for Existence

What’s your reason for existence?
Do you believe in anything?
Or does your lifestyle contradict
The words you write the songs you sing?
Are you happy in your work
As you protest abut the unemployed
You don’t wanna work but you need the money
The reality you can’t avoid
But do you wanna work for the money?
Do you wanna work for the system?
Are you happy as you vote
To keep the parasites alive?
You don’t want to vote but you think you should
They said it was right and you never asked why
But do you wanna vote for your conscience?
Do you want to vote for the system?
Are you happy signing up
In the army just to get some pay?
Fighting a war without a cause
Can you manage to ignore your self-decay?
But do you wanna fight for your country?
Do you wanna fight for the system?
You’re their reason for existence
They use you to finance their state
The words you shout with such conviction
Is it the only way to express your hate?

4. Cancer

Smile - It’s impossible
I-I feel disposable
You laugh - and it fucks me up
Fag? - has he woken you up?
Words - lots of words
Mindless - I ain’t listening
Life - is it such a drag
You - don’t you wanna fag?
What’s wrong? Do you feel OK?
Drink? or shall we go away?
Speak! Don’t just sit there!
Freak! You’re going nowhere!
C’mon! Don’t you want a fag?
You! Don’t you want a fag?
No...I got cancer
