lyrics

You’re always telling me what to do
Stopping me having fun
You never let me have my say
You’ve got me on the run

I know what I want to do
I know what I want to be
What don't figure in it at all
Is your society

Constables, magistrates
You’re all the fucking same
For me to live in misery
Is your major aim

I know what I want to do
I know what I want to be
What don't figure in it at all
Is your society

Let me live how I want to live
And act how I choose
Or else when we get organised
You’re the ones who’ll lose

I know what I want to do
I know what I want to be
What don't figure in it at all
Is your society



Romanticising scenes of war using the media
To make people proud to fight for their country’s honour
But what honour can there be in killing anyone?
To quench the ruling classes greed for glory and possessions

We've got to fuck the power in society
They've got to be destroyed before they destroy me

Royal pomp and ceremony doesn’t ever stop
It whips up false patriotism and keeps the rich on top
Now they’ve got the neutron bomb to keep the buildings standing
There’ll be no poor to squat in them now won’t that come in handy?

We've got to fuck the power in society
They've got to be destroyed before they destroy me
