6. I Don't Wanna Die
7. Everyday Life
8. Work, Rest, Play, DieI'm not a machine made of plastic parts
I got a brain but I ain't got a heart
Ain't got a name I been dead for years
But now I'm alive with my new ideasChorus: Get out of my way I’ll knock you down
My throats on fire with a nihilistic sound
We've been too dumb for far too long
But now we're alive cuz we know what's wrongResurrected from apathy
I saw the dark and it saw me
Now my mind is one destroy
When I explode I make a lot of noiseChorus
We're going forward into nothing at all
No politics no god no rule
There's something inside everyone of you
You've seen the lies now you know what to doChorus
I need first aid can't you see?
I'm cut up bad you can't recognize me
Got a couple of bullets in my leg
And your morphine shit going through my headChorus: Gimme first aid that's what you're for
Gimme a shot gotta make sure
Gimme first aid hold me down
Something's wrong I can't move aroundKnock me out cold with your local anesthetic
Gimme some pills so I can't even feel it
The doctor's using Zyklon-B
Gonna calm me down gonna send me to sleepChorus
So gimme first aid that's what I need
I get all sick whenever I bleed
They caught me bleeding in the street
Kicked me around like some dead meatIn the silence of a grave
In the word's of someone's hero
A blue television screen
Words don't mean anything
In this word factory
Replacement parts are free
Pictures of failed ideas
Only took me 15 years
All your words can not describe
The attitudes that lie inside
Subculture killed at birth
Got bored and slowly died
In the silence of a graveyard
Someone's talking to himself
Oh! what a let down
Oh! what a boring let down!
Such a perfect face
Words are such a waste
let me paint a picture of you
And hang it in this empty place
Can I quote from your ideas
Hang your excuses on the wall
Devalued words blown up to mean sod all
oh! what a let down!
oh! what a boring let down!
Did you just say something?
I must have blown away
Got bored and slowly died
Forget what you have to say
Who wrote this anyway?Nobody says anything on buses
And it's not the noise the engine makes
You can watch them all staring nervous
Sit at the back it's the safest place
People are scared to say hello
The flick of the fag the shifting eyes
Stare in amusement then look away
The conscious battle of who to despise
Self-restriction and self paranoia
Self-belief and the silent laugh
The inner conflict between one another
When you're all the same it seems so daft
Nobody says anything on buses
And that's why people kill themselves
Desperation against the world
Can't find a way to express themselves
Society breeds hate and derision
But society is only a mass of people
Striving to be god
At the expense of others
Striving to be better than their next door neighbor
People are scared underneath their silence
People are getting more afraid
They turn to their leaders for help and guidance
And then the system wins again
And will carry on winning till god knows when
Till people start to talk to each other
Everyone just like a brother
Till the morals and fear that divides us all
Is no longer the excuse for the system's ruleSusan finished school at 16
Wants to be a secretary
2 years later she's got nowhere
Ends up in a factory
Making matches it's so boring
She gets sad and so depressed
Hears her doctor smugly tell her
"Take these pills and get some rest"
But she takes it one step further
Parents rescue her in time
Smile and tell her "When you're married
Everything will be just fine"
She recovers and gets married further shuts the closing door
Though he says "I really love you"
She feels worse off than before
9 months later she's a mother
It's a bouncing baby boy
"Oh how super!" say her parents But for her there is no joy
Words like mummy don't mean nothing
It's all she hears from 9 to 5
All alone at number 19
Every single day she dies
19 years of hollow clichés
Now she wants to end it all
Bored to death from doing nothing
Family drives her up the wall
Swinging Susan hanged herself
She couldn't live her pointless life
He comes home to see through tears
The rigid corpse that was his wife
The life and times of Susan Strange
Ended in that tragic way
With the money from insurance
The family went on holiday
Nothing left but rotting flowers
On an unattended grave
The epitaph has faded badly
No-one reads it anywayIt's getting out of hand they don't understand
They never ever will they never ever can
I don't wanna live if I can't be free The system kills but it won't kill me
I don't wanna die
Can't run away come back someday
Cos it won't change whatever you say
Fear and guilt up to the hilt
They can't escape from the walls they built
I don’t wanna die
They gave me a gun and told me to run
Defend your country from the atom bomb
I said why? they couldn't reply
The system kills but I don't wanna die
I don't wanna dieChorus: Everyday life everyday life
Something somewhere just ain't rightIt's half past 8 and I'm here again
I'd go for a walk but it's pissing down with rain
And if I went for a walk I’d get my head kicked in
Cos looking like a punk is some fucking sinChorus
All this boredom all this drink
All the times I've tried to think
So I jump on a bus and go somewhere else
And I sit in a pub and I talk to myselfChorus
So sod the apathy sod the ideas
I'm only restricted by my fears
Give me a chance and I'll tell you what's wrong
Or give me a pen and I'll write another songChorus
When the people of the country have forgotten how do disagree
And the national economy is said to be O.K.
And the wages that you get will help you to forget
Will you keep your ideologies or throw them all away?
When the system has you beaten
Even though you haven't eaten
Cos you can't afford to eat and drink to keep your brain alive
You blame the system for the weather but carry on as ever
You got to work at half past 8 and come back home after 5
You can go blue in the face talking about the human race
How they got to outer space but it never stopped the wars
And how the whole of this humanity is based on greed and vanity
The ones who make decisions are the ones who make the laws
You're still in this society so what's your main priority?
Remain in the majority who never really cared?
Or cultivate the hate to annihilate the state
Are you prepared to die for your beliefs or just to dye your hair?
The anarchist the nihilist but can you prove that you exist
To a population who just insist that you're just a bunch of fakes?
You can not change the system until you change your own restrictions
Communication and conviction got to kick until it breaks
