UNLAWFUL EXECUTION
Tell me what’s the difference between right and wrong?
When a copper gets to blast a lad who did nothing wrong
Tell me why I shouldn’t spit
In the face of every politician who looks to condone it
No matter what they say
They’ll do it anyway
And I’ll fucking never trust the cunts
I’ve fucking had enough
You set the rules of the game but can I play them?
‘Cos I’d fucking love to see your face when we come
And the only system that would work for me
Would be one where you’re all buried six feet deep
No matter what they say
They’ll do it anyway
And I’ll never fucking trust the cunts
Do you think they give a fuck?
Unlawful execution
Undercover in our pubs
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
Plain clothed abusers
Don’t care if we live or die

RETALIATION
Everybody’s pushing what they think is right
But my minds made up alright
Close up shop on your ideals
Couldn’t give a fuck about how you feel
Think about the people you are hurting most
At the bottom of the ladder whilst you just boast
You’ve got your security
So leave the talking to people like me
Retaliation - paybacks on the mind
Retaliation - pay ‘em back in kind
Call me ignorant the door is closed
Take a look cos the damage shows
If you don’t like it that is tough
‘Cos I know what I know
If ya gonna fight - do it right
Got no time to waste alright
We shout the truth, we know what’s real
The snobs at the top don’t know the deal
An ignorance that runs too deep
Can’t understand how the fuck you sleep
So much on your conscious, do you care?
Your paradise is my nightmare
Retaliation - paybacks on the mind
Retaliation - pay ‘em back in kind
Call me ignorant the door is closed
Take a look cos the damage shows
If you don’t like it that is tough
‘Cos I know what I know
Retaliation - paybacks on the mind
Retaliation - pay ‘em back in kind

COME SEE ME
No more talk, no more threats
Mouthy little cunt come and show me what’s next
All this fucking talk about what you’re gonna do
Same fucking bollocks but no action from fucking you
Come see me
Waste of fucking life
Come see me
Basement dwelling prick
Come see me
Xenephobic cunt
Come see fucking me
Always talking but in hiding
When it comes you drop back
I tell my mates no need to worry
No matter what I’ve got your back
Their fucking with you, they’re fucking with me
And if the cunts wanna come well then we’ll see
Sick of little mugs with their empty threats
When they try to back it up they fold like little melts
Come see me
Waste of fucking life
Come see me
Basement dwelling prick
Come see me
Xenephobic cunt
Come see fucking me
EEEEEYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAaaAAAOOOoo EYAAA!

So Do I
You only fucking give it when you’re feeling hard
And you’ll always pick the weakest in a pack of cards
I thought that it were funny when you were acting the cunt
‘Til I got a little older and I saw it was a front
If you wanna go down that route
So do I
Big fucking bully, come outside
If you wanna play the cunt
So can I
Do you remember that time in Ashton Gardens
Intimidating young ‘uns just to get your kicks in
Me and Billy Aaron showed you what we could do
When we opened up your head with our steel toe boots
If you wanna go down that route
So do I
Big fucking bully, come outside
If you wanna play the cunt
So can I
You only fucking give it when you’re feeling hard
You always pick the weakest in a pack of cards
Me and Billy Aaron showed you what we could do
When we opened up your head with our steel toe boots
If you wanna go down that route
So do I
Big fucking bully, come outside
If you wanna play the cunt
So can I…so…can…I

COMMON AS MUCK
Me vs you, I wish you knew
How much we fucking differ when it comes to a point of view
I’ll fucking say what I want and do as I please
But the toffs don’t like it rough and that’s why they call me
Common as muck?
I’m common as fuck
Common as muck?
I’m common as fuck
Uncultured swine cos I don’t know wine
Just give me a pint and I’ll be just fine
I hope you fucking judge me on how I talk to you
Cos I wanna piss you off ‘cos I can’t stand you
Common as muck?
I’m common as fuck
Common as muck?
I’m common as fuck
Common as muck, ok!

Nation's Pride

NATIONS PRIDE
A nations pride
Communities destroyed
Tension is at an all-time high
If you fight to survive then the dangers rise
When they tell you who’s to blame for it all
It is shit
You fucking pricks
Scapegoating the marginalised
Who’s to blame?
It’s always the same
Upper classes tell you what to decide
There’s an anger on the street
No matter who you meet
Your fellow man is always the one
The government is persistent, the medias consistent
In dividing those who should want their blood
It’s not right
I won’t stand by
Cities burn
People die
Fuck them all
I mean it all
This shit isn’t working at all
It is shit
You fucking prick
Scapegoating the marginalised
Who’s to blame?
Always the same
Upper classes tell you what to decide

Not The Only One

NOT THE ONLY ONE
My father always said to me, you gotta work hard provide for your family
I thought that he was right (alright)
Then I got myself a trade
For a working class boy, it’s the only way I’ll ever earn a decent wage
But around me, I see a lot of poverty
Underpaid workers being threatened with redundancy
You can have it all and then it’s gone
Please say I’m not the only one
You can have it all and then it’s gone
Please say I’m not the only one
And it doesn’t sit right with
No, it doesn’t sit right with me
I read about 1831, what the men and women of Merthyr had done
They were screaming for their rights (their rights)
It’s a New Year now but nothing’s changed
The working class just want a decent wage and we’ll keep up the fight
I can’t believe what I see, it’s a middle-class soapbox talking right at me and they don’t speak for me (not me)
I wont waste my time politicking, when its time for action I’ll be there kicking
We won’t fade away, no way
You can have it all and then it’s gone, please say I’m not the only one
You can have it all and then it’s gone, please say I’m not the only one
And it doesn’t sit right with me
No, it doesn’t sit right with me
Look around, what do I say, our people in grips of poverty
I ask myself, what can I do? I know we deserve better, I know that its true
So when you’re feeling down on your luck, like you’re down and you no longer give a fuck
Remember brother I’ve been there before; we will survive and we will get through
You can have it all and then it’s gone, and I know I’m not the only one
No I won’t stop singing this song, cos I know I’m not the only one
You can have it all and then it’s gone, and I know I’m not the only one
No I won’t stop singing this song, cos I know I’m not the only one
We might be down but we’re never out
We might be down but we’re never out
We might be down but we’re never out
We might be down but we’re never - fucking – out!

SHIT LIFE SYNDROME
Come take a walk down the promenade strip
Your visit won’t be nice if you treat it like shit
Locals anger how it’s portrayed in the news
It’s all bottled up and directed at you
Shit Life Syndrome
Isn’t that what you said?
Shit Life Syndrome
You’re gonna get put to bed
How can you expect people to act nicely
They’ve all been left on the edge of society
You’ll never think what its people have been through
And you’ll never fucking care ‘cos it’s not affecting you
Shit Life Syndrome
Isn’t that what you said?
Shit Life Syndrome
You’re gonna get put to bed
What the fuck did you just say?
Gonna tell me that I’m wrong
I know that it might seem strange to you
But this is the life that I always knew
Shit Life Syndrome
Isn’t that what you said?
Shit Life Syndrome
You’re gonna get put to bed

TOOTH AND NAIL
Your laws mean nothing to us
We’re here for impact, no mess, no fuss
Your jewels fade, your gold turns to rust
So let it be known that we are here
The sounds of malice is in your ear
Don’t bow to no man, no priest and no crown
One the streets again
And I’ll fight ‘til there’s nothing left
Tooth and nail, we can’t fail
So don’t say you haven’t been warned
So let it be known that we are here
Running amok and spreading fear
With an axe to grind and nothing left to lose
So you better watch out when we’re in your town
There ain’t no way that we’re going down
We’re the chisel boys, and this ain’t nothing new
On the streets again
And I’ll fight ‘til there’s nothing left
Tooth and nail, we can’t fail
So don’t say you haven’t been warned

CROCKET
Our boy Crocket, hard as nails he’s the king of Dowbeck Road
He’ll take an Eswing hammer and he will crack it on ya nose
He once took five lads with no gonads, Friday night whilst in the pub
The fuckers didn’t do shit, he’s waiting for it
Hunted, out of luck, what you gonna do?
You better look behind your back when Crocket comes for you
When Crocket comes for you
Now our boy Crocket likes to hunt and he’s got you in his sights
If you’re gonna take your shot then you better get it right
Now you might think you’ve got a chance and I have to question why
‘Cos I heard you like to throw a punch but do you want to die?
Hunted, out of luck, what you gonna do?
You better look behind your back when Crocket comes for you
When Crocket comes for you
When Crocket comes for you
Come for you…when Crocket comes for you

SIT AND SAY NOTHING
You know I always did think you were right,
You make the do’s a don’t and it divides us both
You pander to the cunts I despise
Why fucking bother with no fight for tomorrow
Fight for something, sit and say nothing
Everybody knows and the cowardness shows
Fight for something, sit and say nothing
Everybody knows that you’re a cunt
Tell me are you feeling alright?
Cos you’re acting shook well let’s take a look
At the lack of fight that you do provide
You’re a fucking melt you just run and hide
Fight for something, sit and say nothing
Everybody knows and the cowardness shows
Fight for something, sit and say nothing
Everybody knows that you’re a …
And its always the same… The loudest lion is the easiest tamed
Fight for something, sit and say nothing
Everybody knows you’re a…

FORCE FED
YAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
What makes you think everything is fine when life expectancy is on the decline
Force fed government lies
Martyrs will fall for our nations pride
They use them
Then they fucking die
This government is a lie
Oh, you’ve heard it before?
I’ll say it again
No way to believe it will all be fine when your life expectancy is on the decline
Force fed government lies
Won’t be a martyr or play the puppet
The cunts have got you looking like a fucking muppet
This government is a lie
Oh, you’ve heard it before?
I’ll say it again
Sick to fucking death of all these fucking lies
These fuckers want control of their lives
This government is a lie
How much more will have to die?
How much longer do we swallow their lies?
Force fed government lies
Oh, you’ve heard it before?
I’ll say it again

WHAT WAS MINE
I remember the Saturdays, I spent when I was young
The lines on my face will tell the tale
I was held up by a youthful heart, I thought that I could never fault or fail
And I still remember a time
When I knew what I had and what was mine
Now the days turn into nights as lonely as they are
The weight of the world feels like a ton
Everything good will soon pass, every man is a setting sun
And I still remember a time
When I knew what I had and what was mine

WILL I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN?
Like packs of dogs on the avenues
Fear and love forever true I can see it
I can see it in your eyes
There's a spirit of the night which becomes clear
In bloody basements and back rooms and that cannot die
I hope that I don't grow old and grey so these memories don't fade away
Will I ever see you again?
Will I ever see you again?
Seems like the road we tread has come to an end
Will I ever see you again?
Rest easy old friend
Yet I sigh when I say that it's alright
I still look for your face
In the breaking of the morning light
I hope that I don't grow old and grey
So my memories will never fade away
Will I ever see you again?
Will I ever see you again?
Seems like the road we tread has come to an end
Will I ever see you again?
