These Colours Don't Run - Conflict

The factories still churning out

Of that there’s not a single doubt

There’s more snide shit from their flea pits

They couldn’t give a f**king shit

It’s true, overdue, and plain to see

They say, we’re standing firmly in the rain

Simply waiting for it to stop they said

That we should build new umbrellas because we’re

Stuck in our own rut

I say, blow away the rain clouds

For the new horizon is crystal clear

It’s took sometime, but we’re on the right track

Now where do we go from here?

Sick and tored of worthless statements

Pissed off with the same old songs

You stuff your moral rule book

Of what’s allowed, what’s right and wrong

Oh yeah, there’s those who only criticise yet offer

Nothing new solutions?

Ideas?

No, just raked up shit

What a clever thing to do

We must strive on for what we know is right

We know all too well there’s no end in sight

But human nature is still on our side as the politicians

Fall into landslide we’re out on the street

Feeling the beat of the heart’s in anger at the upper crust

Elite who don’t hear us scream or beg for a halt or

It seems at last the world is changing for the better

The plights of those in misery

A dead necked vision, product of subsidence

F**ked up, and held in screaming silence

Another police force investigation

Blatant lies, false f**ked suggestions

Is it all down to communications?

Or does the grass need cutting?

Has it changed direction?

The chants that only serve to divide

The police link with the revenue, the royalties slide

Now as poor old joy gardener bites the dust

Why should I give a flying f**k?

But the lefties scream outside the courts

Looking to lay the blame, it’s no one’s fault

They show sincerity, oh how much they care

Yeah, in their sick, twisted cause, in their affairs

A black boy has just missed his bus

A racist attack?

Or blood thirsty lust?

Again the left jump on the back of this weeks attack

And force feed, socialist shit militant crap

They blatantly try and whip up violence

Why don’t they keep their arseholes shut?

And keep in silent

Another black person has died, that is true

But are you surprised?

I ain’t, because I already knew

By promoting political deaths they could not give a f**king toss

Sexism reigns in mans green wordl

The A.L.F.

proves yet again that they won’t be told

That what they do (or don’t) is totally wrong

So f**k off you insane cunts, it still remains…

Our song!

Detention centres for the relentless

Approves schools for the fools

Abolish the jury, punish the fury

But it’s our power that you fuel

So is it basically blatantly obvious

And in fact f**king common sense

That when people are forced to live in shit

Under your conditions, crime will undoubtedly spread

You may be watching every move we make

You even convince yourself that you’re clever

But I’m looking back right into your eyes, so

Don’t you ever, never ever, think that I might trip or

Slip right down your stairs

Into your cells, where unaware, you can beat

And f**k me senseless, while the world spins

Around relentless

You may have people on your side that I

Consider the lowest form of life

But don’t you think of what you call respect

Even enters into our minds aspect

For I’m sick of respect, how bout our causes instead?

What made the maddeened go to extreme lengths

Who simply couldn’t take it

Who knew they wouldn’t make it

Being ground down fine, by those who haven’t got the time

For they shall punish those who sin

Toss the peasants live into the bin

Of those who won’t beg for their pittance

And that still remains our f**king difference

Who will not beg to their Jesus, god

Christ I’ve had enough of that

Christ I’ve had enough of this!
