World company unlimited
Green fireworks of 91
You were told it was about oil,
Now there's a war in Europa
And plenty more in the cupboard,
No derricks on this land
And you don't understandSeems like Groucho's Freedonia
Is alive in nearby Slavia
When this silly duck walking
Turns into goose steppingYou've never learned from History
Here comes more insanity,
Two maffias have merged, have merged
in the World Company Unlimited
Never learn from HistoryDemagogues came into power
And friendly human beings,
I'd better say puppets on strings
Become ruthless murderersWar is still the best way
Of dictating submission
And also the drastic solution
Not to pay you on the dole,
The more destructions you get
The more they will investYou've never learned from History
Here comes more insanity,
Two maffias have merged, have merged
in the World Company Unlimited
El Sub at the controls
Voiceless, hopeless
We had no past,
We got to bow
Just like tomorrow,
Less than tools and rats
More like stone and grassEl sub at the controls
Calls on new solutions
El sub at the controls
Calls for revolution,
El sub at the controls
Here comes revolutionMountains told us
To hide our red face,
Rivers whispered

Winds kept telling us
To use wile and gunsEl sub at the controls
Calls on new solutions
El sub at the controls
Calls for revolution,
El sub at the controls
Here comes revolutionWe’re neither soldiers
Nor politicians,
We’d rather be dancers
And street musicians,
Let’s party on the market place
Let’s forget the place of the Market

Call center girl
Lucy has joined a call center
Dreaming of a bright future,
She'll just need an atomic smile
And to pretend being servile,This is the new economy
Cool jobs and easy money
This is the new economySame old pain and misery !
Everyday's a competition
She'd better be the champion,
When she keeps the highest score
Her photo's pinned on the wall,Another clone of Stakhanov
Joe Stalin is back in obs
Another clone of StakhanovSame old pain and misery !
She read it in a magazine :
"Be lazy - just call us"
But if she dares to take a break
Her phone will raise a red alert,"You will rest when you are dead"
Goes one of the firm adverts
"You will rest when you are dead"Same old pain and misery !
It only took a few weeks
Before she learned the tricks,
There's nothing like a sick pay
To make her day, make her day,This is the new economy
Tedious jobs and poor moneyOld and new economy
Same old pain and misery
Rumble in Seattle
There was a rumble in Seattle
They even closed the Stock Exchange
When it appeared to be a battle
The right time for radical changeThere was a rumble in Seattle
Then a huge rally in Millau,
This is the sound of the real world
In the year of the triple 0This world is not for sale - not for sale
This world is not for sale - not for sale
This world is not for sale
Wonder women
Action took place in 1968
We got the longest strike
In whole french history.
Outburst of free speech
Took on the streets.Schools were burning
Students turning down
Future job offers
As work officers
And proles in anger
Steamed up the pressureAsk for the impossible, be realistic ! be realistic !
Ask for the impossible, be realistic ! be realistic !At Wonder factory
Women on the line
Lusted for life
'cos when you're sixteen
Spend your youth in chains
Is the worst of all pains.Power was at bay
For three weeks running
When union leaders
called off the strike
Trading all our hopes
For a mere pay riseStanding at the gate
Ignoring unions call
A girl was shouting
“I won't follow the pack
I will never go back to this fucking hole”1999 life on the line
Don't hit headlines
But songs of slavery
Still remain the same
Remain the sameAsk for the impossible, be realistic ! be realistic !
Ask for the impossible, be realistic ! be realistic !Ask for the impossible !
The invisible
In those days of rains and sleet
I have to live on the streets.
Thank to a local Mister Spoof
I got a coffin whith a roof.
My home is made of cardboard
You're not welcome aboard
Nothing I dislike more
Than not having a doorI'm an invisible
And i'm not so gullible.
I go for a bottle
Rather than a battleI got a survival kit
With and ad prited on it
Where it says " Just do it",
I say "just fuck it !"If a dickhead scratched a match
I would end up like a carcass,
I'm alone against hte pack
And I'm just about to crackI'm an invisible
And i'm not so gullible.
I go for a bottle
Rather than a battleBuilding companies nag me
Empty houses gaze at me
But there's no place to be
It's only air is still for free
Sometimes I wish I coulb be
Like the invisible man
Who destroys the enemy
And takes all the lollyI'm an invisible
And i'm not so gullible.
I go for a bottle
Rather than a battle
Stacks
This time is real,
I feel it passing through the telephone,
No one is home now,
No one is home.These stacks,
They keep me down,
So I build some more.
America is just a word but I use it.Language keeps me locked and repeating
This time is real,
I see it passing by the avenue,
Nothing to do now,
There's nothing to do.I see them spinning on,
So I spin out.
America is just a word but i use it.Language keeps me locked and repeating
Bed For The Scraping
I'm sick with this I'm sick with this Situation avoided or just missed? My own sweet time says it's ten twenty four Hardly recognise simple things anymore
I don't want to be defeated
This is the point This is the manifest Bed for the scraping Dirty little secret Reason for the gathering consequence What else is there to do But go outside and look around look around
When I Come Around
I heard you crying loud, all the way across town You've been searching for that someone, and it's me out on the prowl As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself Well, don't get lonely now And dry your whining eyes I'm just roaming for the moment Sleazin' my back yard so don't get So uptight you been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around
I heard it all before So don't knock down my door I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser To try and slag me down because I know you're right So go do what you like Make sure you do it wise You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing was ever there You can't go forcing something if it's just not right
No time to search the world around Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around When I come around
No time to search the world around Cause you know where I'll be found When I come around When I come around When I come around When I come around
Within the quilt of demand
What could hinder this haste Calm strewn the isle in this tattered grain In all this muzzled distaste I brush the vial hoping to misplace
Cover me with soil and tread Drape me with flames this frock of disdain Oh, stop this sunken ravine Pull out the slate from under me
This kingdom of the quilt of demand Forces the conquer of my plan, my plan The kingdom of my quilt of demand Forces the conquer of this plan, this plan
Kingdom in this quilt of the demand Forces the conquer of this plan, this plan Kingdom in the quilt of the demand Forces the conquer of this plan, this plan
Heartbeat
You said you'd be there for me in times of trouble when I need you and I'm down. And likewise you need friendship. It's from my side pure love but I see lately things have been changing. You have goals to achieve, but the roads you take are broad and heartless. That wants you make another way. You throw stones. Can you see that I am human, I am breathing? But you don't give a damn.
Can you feel my heart is beating Can you see the pain you're causing Can you feel my heart is beating Can you see the pain you're causing
Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood keeps rushing
And now the world is asleep. How will you ever wake her up when she is deep in her dreams, wishing? And yet so many die, and still we think that it is all about us, it's all about you. You sold your soul to the evil and the lust and the passion and the money and you see innocent ones die, people hunger for decades, suffer under civilized armed robbers, modern slaveholders.
Can you feel my heart is beating Can you see the pain you're causing Can you feel my heart is beating Can you see the pain you're causing
Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood, blood keeps rushing
Evaded, eliminated, erased, interrogated. Our tradition, our love for our fellow countrymen, our property, our resources, our pride.
Oh, can you feel, can you feel my heart beating? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you don't.
Can you feel my heart is beating Can you see the pain you're causing Can you feel my heart is beating Can you see the pain you're causing
The deluxe war baby
Haven't we got some place else to be? Cash in our collective memories They go cheap
The lines are open testing 1, 2, 3 But disconnection's still our sweetest dream Like it's free
Exit, please
Call it love with a new face And new guts, a growth industry 'Cause we're all headed west Whatever we think we believe
Never have i felt so well-policed Why should i be anything but pleased?
Sit down
Now the best you can be Is the beast that they don't want to see But you'll never get over You're greasing the adding machine Surveilled and serene They hype satisfaction Until you forget where you've been And we're all headed west Whatever we think we believe in
Call it love with a new face And new guts, a growth industry But you'll never get over You're greasing the adding machine Surveilled and serene Now the best you can be Is the beast that they don't want to see The exploded view shows thatnow the best you can be Is the beast that they don't want to see There's nothing cementing the seams
Lightsaber Cocksucking Blues
Eat what you are while you're falling apart And it opened a can of worms The gun's in my hand and I know it looks bad But believe me I'm innocent I'm fearful I'm fearful I'm fearful of flying And flying is fearful of me I covered my eyes when she told me the news Turning me on with my lightsabre cocksucking blues
Are you coming?
Nicotine stained on account of her crutch And I'm aching from fucking too much I know what I do but it all points to you Did you sell me to wanderlust? I'm fearful I'm fearful I'm fearful of flying And flying is fearful of me I covered my eyes when she told me the news Turning me on with my lightsabre cocksucking blues
Are you coming?
Clampdown
What are we gonna do now?
Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew? 'Cause they're working for the clampdown They put up a poster saying we earn more than you! When we're working for the clampdown We will teach our twisted speech To the young believers We will train our blue-eyed men To be young believers
The judge said five to ten-but I say double that again I'm not working for the clampdown No man born with a living soul Can be working for the clampdown Kick over the wall 'cause government's to fall How can you refuse it? Let fury have the hour, anger can be power D'you know that you can use it?
The voices in your head are calling Stop wasting your time, there's nothing coming Only a fool would think someone could save you The men at the factory are old and cunning You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin' It's the best years of your life they want to steal
You grow up and you calm down You're working for the clampdown You start wearing the blue and brown You're working for the clampdown So you got someone to boss around It makes you feel big now You drift until you brutalize You made your first kill now
In these days of evil presidentes Working for the clampdown But lately one or two has fully paid their due For working for the clampdown But ha! Gitalong! Gitalong!
And I've given away no secrets Who's barmy no
Our works fills the pews
One look at the stats You won't look twice One look at the numbers You'll pine and die
My memory Serves me right History does no disservice To the bottom line
It was over 'fore it even started Yeah it's the science of the truth Got a feeling that you just can't shake? Face it - our work fills the pews
Uh-huh-huh
Figure all of this for nothing There's a precident for what I do I Got numbers and you can't ignore them My ways, my work fills the pews
My memory It serves me right Take a long hard look You'll switch up sides
Stick a pin anywhere on a map You'll find us there That makes us a natural selection That makes it fair
There's a passage in the city charter - yeah You should read it through It was over 'fore it even started It's the science of the truth
Taking liberties I should take There's a precedent for what I do I got a feeling that you just can't shake it Face it - our work fills the pews
Can't stop getting wasted
Look at me crashed out face down in sick And you choking on the foreign gravel My knee open like a red pocket We watch the day unravel Look at us dead drunk Brits deep in the shit Kicked out of a cab miles from the hotel My purse empty no money in it Can we cadge a lift on your beat up moped?
Can't stop getting wasted I'm out of my mind Can't stop getting wasted I love it when I'm high
Look at me blacked out dress soaked in piss You bring me round with an icy splashing My head banging cartoon stars spin Another Saturday night on the trashing Look at us we're it twenty-something club twits Pull rubbish moves in the basement Mod room My arms waving to a 60's hit Can we take a trip back to the bathroom?
Globalize
Tons of oil Slickened sea You don't care Cars can't see
Giants fall Crashing down Wipe your ass Happy now?
So it's gonna happen We're gonna break it down It's gonna happen We're gonna blow it into pieces
Disasters, pollution breathe that poison in the air
Dioxin in your soup Suck it up, now you're hooked
Globalizing Realizing Optimising Compromising
Look around at what's now left You've dug your grave now lie in it Millions dying with you . You know we're never gonna stop Smash our heads against the wall
Keep it going Keep it going Keep on buying Keep on working
