A Day In The Strife
02:44
|

Your jobs a disease and fatigues a symptom
Your managers a sado
You’re a victim
You don’t know a soul in the hole you’re living in
Feeding the kids a steady diet of Ritalin
Make a bob for the boss man
Such a ball ache
Days a disaster
Floods and Earthquake
Never been a day when I haven’t been home late
I could strangle myself with a roll of red tape
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
I crashed the car because I couldn’t park it
I’m going insane in the supermarket
I douse myself
I need a light to spark it
Can we all take a minute for the dearly departed
Tracks are visible
Marks are physical
Flame to the foil in familiar ritual
Lawnmower Man and we talk in digital
The message gets through but its all subliminal
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
Thats life
Oi
Debts are mounting
The kids are sprouting
We’re like the Von Trapp family climbing the mountain
But I’m not singing
We’re not winning
Theres people who don’t work who are making a killing
They’ve got drugs to be dealing
Selling what I’m stealing
Straight into the vein
Numb the pain
Ill feeling
Rattling in bed
Baby crawling on the ceiling
When did self abuse become so appealing?
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
A day in the strife
Thats life
Oi

The Purge
02:08
|

Everybody poised
On the verge
Break a sweat
Touch a nerve
Bite down hard
Adrenaline surge
At the stroke of midnight
Start the purge
Broadcast down to your colour TV
Bloodsport on the street in 3D HD
Killer on the loose with a primal urge
You best run when they start the purge
Everybody tense like wire
All good fuel for the fire
The kids run riot round the pyre
The death tolls only getting higher
Broadcast down to your colour TV
Bloodsport on the street in 3D HD
Killer on the loose with a primal urge
You best run when they start the purge

All paid out on a standing order
Causing dispute and a health disorder
Shut down shops and they barricade borders
The country is run by thieves and marauders
If we're all woke then why is the world burning
The scales have tipped and the tide is turning
Sickness spreads and your stomachs churning
All about earning
Less about learning
Line in the sand now choose a side
Take a number
Life's just a ride
Lessons learned but the teacher lied
Now you're all grown up and you're mortified
Out your seat
On your feet
Now march to the beat
Too close to the wire
He's a liar and a cheat
Take away school dinners so the kids can't eat
All day in a rat race
Sleep
Repeat
Too much trouble living life in a bubble
I've seen it all like I'm Edwin Hubble
Can't think straight and I'm seeing double
Take to the streets cause Barney Rubble
All the boomers and the prehistorics
Educated on the new hot topics
Signed your name now you're in their pocket
On the ride and you can't stop it
All the vultures
Cancel cultures
Your 9 to 5 will cause stomach ulcers
Mind ticks over in clock pulses
Reality bites and soon repulses
Digital age
Spoilt for choices
Feeling paranoid
Hearing voices
Turn up the volume
Drown out the noises
Guillotine drops and the crowd rejoices
Spread the disease then sell the cure
Prey on the weak
Purge the impure
Dance with the devil
Deal on the dance floor
Sold your soul
Watch what you ask for
Illuminati
Mansion party
LSD with the fake Paul McCartney
Get your picture taken with the prince and a nazi
Who the fuck called the paparazzi?
All paid out on a standing order
Causing dispute and a health disorder
Shut down shops and they barricade borders
The country is run by thieves and marauders
If we're all woke then why is the world burning
The scales have tipped and the tide is turning
Sickness spreads and your stomachs churning
All about earning
Less about learning
England's fingered
Dissected
Wrecked
Infected
Broken
The Siths have got their fists in
Empires here
I have spoken
Unelected unknown donors covertly own us
Money masters
Opportunist facist mind controllers
Takes a diamond geezer like Rashford to teach the Tory bastards some standards
And what kind of opposition even is greasy sir Kier Starmer?
Most of our heroes have been vilified
Switched sides
Mysteriously died
Bribed or driven to suicide
Hit the refresh button and what's next?
More depression
J.K Rowling and the transgender toilet molester
T.E.R.F cunt must've got some P.T.S.D bless her
Reduce the human race to waste of space Facebook junkies
All artists are to retrain as cyber monkeys
All paid out on a standing order
Causing dispute and a health disorder
Shut down shops and they barricade borders
The country is run by thieves and marauders
If we're all woke then why is the world burning
The scales have tipped and the tide is turning
Sickness spreads and your stomachs churning
