Friends Not Slaves

You can't treat me like this
Im not disposable piss
You can't throw me away
When your done for the day
Ive got feelings too
I mean its not just you
I don't need your control
Or approval
I won't do that for you
I won't change my view
To fit in with your crowd
So you can heckle them down
A little flash of skirt
I mean it's not gonna work
Im not suggestible,
Or susceptible
If you've gota brain
Then use it
Im not gona help you through this
Tie your laces
Buckle braces
Im your friend and not another slave
Friends not slaves
Were friends not slaves

Days Of Slaughter

I rock these shoes there on my feet
With technology as far as the eye can see
But something don't sound great to me
In china their working twelve hour days
For less than an actual living wage
But ya know cheap goods are great for me
NO!!!
My friends they couldn't keep up with the pace
So now they'll lose their job or their wage
But at least ive got mine
And ive lived a wish for filled life
Ive seen the edge of my cage twice
I think its time to go
Its obvious when I know
Im counting the days to the slaughter
All rise for a corporate world order
Where we work ourselves to death each day
Disregard your mental health
And trawl to save yourself
If you don't like what we do
You have the right not to consume
You have the right not to consume
Ive seen my friends come and go
Its obvious that they all know
No one comes back
Ive seen the edge of my cage twice
I think its time to go
Its obvious when we know
Im counting the days to the slaughter
All rise for a corporate world order
Where we work ourselves to death each day
Disregard your mental health
And trawl to save yourself
If you don't like what we do
You have the right not to consume
You have the right not to consume
Im counting the days to the slaughter
Im counting the days to the slaughter
Fuck your fucking world order
We have the right not to consume

Operation Mango

Woke up dazed this morning,
I need something to drink,
Lies are blaring from my TV set,
I need something to help me think,
Coffee would wake me up to much,
Tea could put me back to sleep,
Gotta busting with energy,
Full of vitamin D,
So i'm going to the fridge it's on the bottom shelf,
Between the milk and the eggs that's where it finds itself,
It's in bright carton labelled just for me,
It's a delicious indulgent mango smoothie,
Don't go fucking with my mango,
Don't go interfering with the flavouring,
Don't go fucking with my mango,
It makes no sense to me!
I cannot comprehend,
What would possesses you to do,
Mixing mango's with alcohol,
What the fuck is wrong with you
So i'm going to the store I'm going to smash it all,
No one needs this shit no not at all,
So i'll take the store and take my mango back,
It's all for me and that is that,

Trigger Sad

If your trigger happy I'm trigger sad,
Epitome of everything you thought you had,
See me I, like to know the facts,
Every depicting detail before i attack,
But you go in, Guns blazing, trail blazing,
It's amazing that your just phrasing,
Incorrect facts and any old tat,
That justify your wars and that's that,
It's all good and well you promote free speech,
But your actions undermine everything your preach,
And your sucking out our pity just like a leech,
So we've run a little dry for your new war street,
I'm sick and tired of the same old rhetoric,
Foreign policy is utterly degenerate,
After pulling it once we don't remain illiterate,
Dropping bombs on the innocent children
Swear to god you didn't mean to kill them,
Leave the migrants to rot and decay,
Another 100 thousand you can't save,
Write it up as collateral damage,
Another human crisis you can manage,
When your backs against the wall it's getting hard to tell,
If were living in your hell.
