Another Subversive Peace Song Lyrics by The Alternative

If They Treat You Like Shit... Act Like Manure

0

"Whenever you did make contact with the enemy, you'd go from the most horrible boredom (I mean just absolute, deathly boredom) to absolutely the other extreme - the most intense, continual excitement I've ever known in my life. I'm not sure how to describe the energy you would feel, and the excitement you would feel; however you fеlt about it, in terms of being scared or liking it or disliking it, or whatеver, the excitement was there, I think, for everybody. You couldn't go through combat and remain detached; the idea of someone shooting at you, someone trying to kill you - you were trying to kill someone, you know, using that finger to try to take someone's life - and that sends a real charge through you."
\n
\nThe squaddie's arm is bleeding
\nThe animal's throat is cut
\nDead soldiers in Northern Ireland
\nDead animals in the shop
\nConsume the shit
\nImperialist twit
\nDrown in the morals
\nAnd crawl through the shit
\n
\nPaint your face, now the hunt is on
\nHas he got a car? Now give him what he wants
\nSay he's a man, use words like love
\nMuscle and pride confirms he's got the lot
\nHe's a master of pain in his world of violence
\nYou're just another victim he's picked up on his way
\nAnother example: man's voice is law
\nAnd woman takes second place in his world of hate and war
\n
\nOi!
\nThe privileged rape the earth
\nIn the rich man's ghetto
\nThe armies of democracy
\nBribe and slaughter
\nWe're treated as objects
\nOil on the machine
\nConsuming the shit
\nOf Government and Queen
\n
\nBreak the barriers that segregate us all
\nColour, class and creed
\nOr you're pissing up a wall
\nThe only change that will ever come
\nIs if you reject all violence and media scum
\nIt's up to you to live your life
\nDon't accept their morals and rules
\nFucking up the world by the way we live
\nAnd you're helping to bury it with your hate and prejudice
\n
\nHypocrisy, democracy, they're weapons named fear
\nAnother cross to carry, whose burden do you share?
\nDiscriminating theories, more ladders to climb
\nForty years of misery, another wasted life
\nState imposed disorder is their democracy
\nState imposed disorder carried through their law
\n
\nPaint your face, now the hunt is on
\nHas he got a car? Now give him what he wants
\nSay he's a man, use words like love
\nMuscle and pride confirms he's got the lot
\n
\nThe squaddie's arm is bleeding
\nThe animal's throat is cut
\nDead soldiers in Northern Ireland
\nDead animals in the shop
\nConsume the shit
\nImperialist twit
\nDrown in the morals
\nAnd crawl through the shit
\n
\nPaint your face, now the hunt is on
\nHas he got a car? Now give him what he wants
\nSay he's a man, use words like love
\nMuscle and pride confirms he's got the lot
\nHe's a master of pain in his world of violence
\nYou're just another victim he's picked up on his way
\nAnother example: man's voice is law
\nAnd woman takes second place in his world of hate and war\n\n
