Conflict - These Colours Don't Run lyrics
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 fucking 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 Their society aborts 1981 President Reagan and the pope face assassins' Bullets and escape with their lives. But in Cairo Sadat dies in a hail of automatic fire From brixton to Belfast riots rage and fires burn. The royal wedding of Pronce Charles is celebrated. In America the skies roar as Columbia the first space Shuttle blasts off but as winter descends so does the Chilling news of martial law in Poland. 1982 Argentina invades Falklands, Speilberg captures Our imaginations, unemployment rises above three million, Adn with threat of cruise missiles twenty Thousand women go to war to safe guard peace. Britain gets it's fourth T.V. station, Princess Diana gives us a royal heir. The I.R.A. bring horror to Hyde Park, Breshnev dies in Russia and Irael invades Lebanon. 1983 As protesters get into their stride at Greenham Ronald Reagan promises to make Star Wars a frightening reality Back on earth the Soviets admit to shooting down a Korean airliner, Maggie Thatcher triumphs again and America's first Woman astronaut is in space; For Grenada its an American invasion. 1984 after twelve weeks the striking miners still Battle on and in Brighton the P.M. and cabinet narrowly Escape death as an I.R.A. bomb rips through the Grand Hotel. Yvonne Thatcher is gunned down and her murderer Flies away a free man. Rajiv Gandhi fights dave his country after the Assassination of his mother. Millions face starvation in Ethiopia. 1985 Mikhail Gorbachev is Soviet leader, while shouts Of "scab" greet miners. Unions vote to end the national strike. The rainbow warrior of Greenpeace is damaged in New Zealand by two bombs. Live aid rocks the world for the hungry, A policeman is hacked to death in London, Reagan in Geneva said the world is now a safe place. 1986 Space shuttle explodes on take off, Swedish P.M. is Shot dead in the street, the pickets cash in wapping, Reagan bombs Libya (keep your head down), Russian nuclear reactor is ablaze. 1987 Beirut gun man attack U.N., Argentinian president Ends arms revolt, Gorbachev makes new offer on arms Cuts, Iraqi exocet blasts U.S. frigate, Thatcher is elected for a third term. In Britain 'spycatcher' is banned, But anyone can buy it in America. A storm hits the stock market on black monday. 1988 S.A.S. gun man gun down I.R.A. unit in Gibraltar, Mitterand returns as French president. U.S. war ships Shoot down an Iranian airliner, Bush is elected as U.S. president. Thatcher speaks for Polish freedom. Britain is shocked by two disasters in nine days and Edwina resigns over a storm in an egg cup. 1989 Berlin wall is torn down, Freedom sweeps the East. In China a light of hope in Tiannamen square is extinguished. In Romania peoplel fight against the dictator Ceauces-Cu and with his death they win. For once it seems a hope and good can prevail. 1990 Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait, U.N. troops leave To face the unknown horrors of modern warfare. Mandela is freed, the Soviet pulls out of Czechoslavakia And Maggie Thatcher resigns. 1991 The waiting is over, the Gulf explodes, never has such a powerful force been unleashed against one Nation. The bombardment against Iraq is relentless, The end comes quickly, as the victorious survivors Celebrate, for some the battle against grief is just Beginning, yellow ribbons are everywhere, with the Release of John McCarthy, It seems at last the world is changing for the better. The plights of those in misery A dead necked vision, product of subsidence. Fucked up, and held in screaming silence Another police force investigation Blatant lies, false fucked 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 fuck? 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 fucking 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 fuck 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 fucking 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 fuck 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 fucking difference Who will not beg to their Jesus, god Christ I've had enough of that Christ I've had enough of this |
