Exploitation (Live) Lyrics by Conflict

Statements of Intent 1982-87

1983

Exploitat!

Another fine timing
For a stepping into line
For four budding young stars
Who've just found the time
An old tune and shit words
Long until they rhyme
Well just watch them boys because they can't fail this time
Well I've heard all the screams of another barmy army
But who sits in hotels with champagne and salami?
It only leaves you
To be the one who's barmy
You're being led on to make a superstars fortune

We live in dead cities, the streets are grey
But I don't need Top of the Pops to make me think that way
I can see the rebellion on my TV screen
But no sign of a future for you and me
A slight reflection of the past, but that didn't last
Because the people who mattered
Weren't rolled in the cast
They're lining up another lot, all idols who
Will be nailing down the coffin
On me and you
You tell me about
I laugh, but I think it's rather funny

Their long grasping tentacles are hungry and strong
Top chart hits and in future, we can't go wrong
But it's only their wallets that get fat on our songs
Does it really matter about the businessman side?
I don't really give a fuck, if punk's dead or alive
Top chart hits and future, they can do that for you
But just ask this question
Is it false or is it true?
