Disaster 03:51
Call me Adam Call me Eve Call me Lilith Call me naive, but I am the contradiction you cannot conceive I am the lie in everything that you believe We'll build ourselves, we'll sew our own skins We'll live our own truths in this "age of sin" We refuse to play the games, and that's how we win We're knocking at the door, so you'd better let us in [sample] And then there's the other lot, feminine homosexuals, who in fact it may not be good for them to become women. There's got to be a waiting period, there's got to be a sorting out. For the surgeons and the psychiatrists... make certain they're not bringing disaster. We are your nightmare We are your ruination We are the bloodsucking parasites infesting nations We are the saboteurs that eat away the foundation We are the plague, the disease and the temptation We are the faggots We are the freaks We are the poison that makes you weak We are the changelings, the feminine mystique We are the siren song, and, finally, we speak! Are you ready? Let's do this... I am suckling at the teat of your pride I am a Satan, and you shall be my bride You can run but there's nowhere you can hide... Does it hurt? I don't fucking care! You're the one that cast me as this nightmare We can do this here, we can do this anywhere... Do you get it yet? I mean a revolution THIS is your new God, so you'd better pray for absolution I am the result of all this pollution. I am the hangman, and this shall be your execution. [sample] You mustn't confuse the issue! You could act as a threat to those men who want to keep, as most men do, their maleness. And indeed, you could even act as a threat to women who want to keep their femininity.

Both sides! Both sides! I'll listen to them all In the face of the besiegers I am straddling the wall Left, right, up, down? All of these the same For all the world's ills, we've you radicals to blame "Tory scum"? "Tory scum"? What a shocking little show You catch more flies with honey than the vinegar you throw Ideals are unreal, so you'd better wait and see Sit down with your Sauvignon. C'est moi, la bourgeoisie? Ideological spinelessness will hold the centre Communists and fascists all alike Radical buzzwords will hold the centre Walk straight ahead and don't look left or right I'm the wisest politician because everyone is wrong We're playing MOR, so everyone can sing along We tread carefully with policy, the media's our guide We'll know we've got it perfect when nobody's satisfied Set aside your dreams and ignore your needs and wants We're not the politics of possible, we're the politics of can't Caution and bureaucracy! This is how we rise! Representative democracy, just the wool over your eyes The civil service will hold the centre Walk straight ahead and don't look left or right And civil discourse will hold the centre Communists and fascists all alike Ideological spinelessness will hold the centre Radical buzzwords will hold the centre The civil service will hold the centre And civil discourse will hold the centre

Oscar Wilde 04:48
Say hello and good morning to the mums Standing at the gate in the morning sun A whispered scandal spreading like a hum "Is it true they're teaching kids about grown-up fun?" Sally's too young to know it And Bobby won't understand Jimmy can't learn how men love men and women hold each other's hands We've got to do something I hope it's not too late It's overdue for revival: the new Section 28 Everything old is new again Mummy's little boy won't be a queen We'll protest here for hours, snow or rain So Oscar Wilde, come and tell us where you've been We thought you went away, but I guess you're back again Not gay as in happy but queer as in fucked up So wait, and watch, as we repeat the past Keep the children clean and free from sin If we try real hard, this time it'll last We're never gonna let those fucking perverts win

MK-Ultra 07:36
Screaming when born to a world so cruel Beaten to submission and then sent to school Where we're taught from the start to do as we're told And follow the rules if you want to grow old We grow big and strong as obedient drones In a world of certainty where all is known And we follow the leader, it's a comfortable game Twisting ourselves so we're all the same And then the wealthy offer us a "dignity in work" In mindlessly serving the Mechanical Turk But we live inside cubicles, machines of meat As gears and wheels our humanity is obsolete It's a war of attrition for the heart and the mind Day after day, the same fucking grind As the mindless drudgery eats away at your brain Repetition repeats, again and again [sample] An honest day's work for an honest days pay. Live within your means. Support the police. We spend our pay on circuses and bread Keeping us calm and not seeing red Watching the news for a two-minute hate But they'll get theirs, oh, just you wait! As forests burn and oceans boil As famine spreads on fertile soil We sit, relax and smugly think That these are depth to which we'd never sink But backs are broken as the overseers thrive And democracy LIES DYING if she ever was alive With a bullet in each chamber and a finger on the polls (the pulse) She bleeds out on the floor as her muscles convulse It's a tacit threat, a final warning: "Don't bother to organise. Stick to mourning." Class war's a joke, so join their laughter. The buggers won't die, so what are they after? We don't need your education To tell us where we should belong We don't need your education We'll teach ourselves of right and wrong Repetition, repetition Shaping us all into clones We can build a new ambition We'll make a new world of our own [sample] Margaret Thatcher knew that if you— (interrupted by rapturous applause)
