Blacklist 01:37
I've got a problem I can't talk about But screw that rule ill shout it out Because I've had it up to here with idiots preaching You don't say that and you don't think that Cause behind the lives of suits and tie A plans bin forged with a reason why To cease idea of free thought and will By silencing good people they want to kill A device to remove the human rights Of anybody that would choose to fight Them in the chairs with the all-seeing sight Observing the porn that I watch at night Cause were just pawns to be played In their intellectual democratic game I'm sorry to say but I'm played the same There can only be one thing to blame The blacklist My problem They want to Control us all They can see Anything They will stop Everything! Everything feels different today But ill go outside and its aok Drop a bit of litter on the floor you see and that could be thee end of me As armed police circle my house I can feel the words leach from my mouth I shoulda seen it coming and I'm pretty sure They'll lock me up the first chance they get

I turn up to your house about 8 or 9 o-clock All seems good and your friends seem nice and were drinking quite a lot But the next part of your party came as quite a shock Cause by 10pm with mayhem were all out our rocks I may be really horny and really really pissed But you really think right her right now i need to see your tits Cause I'm not being part of your teenage tragedy Cause I'm not walking out of here with your STD's I see, I see, I see, i see it takes your fancy I see it takes your fancy I see it takes your fancy I see it takes your fancy, no emotion in the air but please please please don't flirt with me with that spunk in your hair I see, he sees, we see, we see it takes your fancy we see it takes your fancy we see it takes your fancy we see it takes your fancy, that your in some girls underwear but at least i don't have worry about no pregnancy scare enjoy the aids

Angry Song 03:08
I hate recording vocals They always come out wrong It’s just like my sex life But it doesn't involve heavy amounts of bondage Is it a crime to write a song that makes you wanna spit Is it a crime to have a opinion then scream it in public Is it a crime to say that were all really the same Is it a crime to make mistake then actually take the blame Went outside my house today It wasn’t pissing down with heavy rain Perfect in almost every way A utopia to my dismay But my friends don’t get why I’m so pissed Annoyed at everything and this This one goes to my loves I’m entitling it my angry song Is it a crime that what i sing dose not make any sense So they ridicule me, spidicule me to hurt my confidence But its not their fault you see cause they just wanna see some defense But It's no fun for me you see if they didn't take offence I only write songs when I’m angry I only write songs when I’m pissed I only write songs when I’m annoyed at something I only write songs like this

Im a self aware smart ass Hot girls and fast cars Give you right of way But I'm never gonna be like Hidden in the background No noise, and no sound Standing to attention Always ready to Conform to everything you say Please take my rights away That's o "fucking" k Im educated and fall that way And as these thoughts hit my mind I think it would be so kind If you'd give me An easy way out of Full time minimum wage jobs And living my with parents Until I am in my thirties Working till I'm 85 God its good to be alive Paying just to survive In a world I despise The system is twisted How can people miss this The poor are getting fisted Only by the richest guys Who pick their profits, passing puny pieces down But due to controlled inflation This dwarf hooker is barely value for money Oh self aware smart ass Cheap drinks and dodgy bars Stare at the sky till I see stars And wish that I could go to mars I lose the battle because I exist And life is more than we insist And it can always make me list The things that I cannot change Like everything and everyone That screw me over for their sum They its all just for fun But I guess its not for me And bankers think its funny That they lost all our money But I'm paying up and I don't get the joke Surprise government death squad Lets fuck the left squad Till there's nothing left for The stupid undressed mob Of bigots, blamers, Nazis They don't give a monkeys Cause they want a their country And that concept stumps me The media is bull shit Politicians bull shit Democracy bull shit But we think we have a say Our delusion continues on and on Doesn't amount to any control at all Let alone saving being able to save that polar bear that were repeatedly stabbing in the face Self aware smart ass Don't need fast cars Or hot girls for that matter And if I'm really honest The only thing I wanted, Was to make the world a better, place

Plague Rat 04:51
Here comes the west to save the world again A picture perfect plan of save the world again We will bomb all those who don't agree And make a mess and we refuse to clean And in this truth the problem lies Those people we bomb, tend to up-rise And this might come as a surprise Cause the media at home just lie lie lie They keep us sedated, emasculated To the horror that they created Coming out places they invaded For oil and the money that it created Now this has all come to pass And terrorism well its built to last Via mistakes we've made in the past And perspective reported only ours But when you read about it, you don't think about but, but you think you know, yeah you know about When you heard about it, you don't think about but, but you think you know, yeah you know about But when you think about You don't know about it You only read about it Or you heard about it You know nothing at all You know nothing at all YEAH! Back at home its all out of control There blaming immigrants as it all unfolds Cause of similarities that they can see But forgetting there human just like me Its all scaremongering simple as that They say Russia's poised to attack So hug nuclear weapon, forget the fact That they can be used not to fire back As your kept sedated, emasculated Listen to the media that they created Forget about the places that we invaded And lives we've left devastated Now this has all come to pass And terrorism well its built to last Via mistakes we've made in the past And perspective reported only ours You know nothing at all We don't know what they fight for We're gonna die in a war YEAH! Were the plague rats We listen to what you say that's Misinterpretation Of everything we do Given a false identity , Adopted by conspiracy's To make us look like, A bunch mad fools They'll call us terrorists the ones that choose to resist But were not spending taxes On guns and gas and bombs I think its pure hypocrisy In a world of atrocities What media spits out it could all be wrong But im not gonna stand here Let them speak for the land here To read between the lines It takes to long So we need to create media That speaks about there demeanor Or maybe we can start With a song? Hey, Mr. Kilvert seem your views Are not infected But we've got a new solution It was publicly elected We'll stick a gun to you head At all given times. And this constant threat of death Will make you slowly lose your mind your become terrorist of circumstance, Don't worry about the fact We'll look at your religion, Put it all down to that The world needs enemies Or guns they will not sell And you'll never meet a terrorist, So who are you to tell that We've got the plague We've got the plague But the media says That there's no such thing as plague we've got the plague We've got the plague But the media insists that there's no such thing as plague as the world collapses,and it all relaxes It won't be long until another axis Rises to power in a foreign land And we nuke it all to the sand The bodies tower higher than we can say But the cash towers higher so that's OK And we all become a deluded race But from the headlines we still can't say We've got the plague We've got the plague But the media insists that there's no such thing as plague we've got the plague We've got the plague But the media says That there's no such thing as plague
