Who Guards the Guards Who guards the guards, did you say Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? People with no sense of liberty Everyone looks away while they tighten the chains Wahhabist fundamentalists are just fascist’s Controlling the land With an iron grip Who watches the watchers When they are the torturers Who funds the beheadings Well they’re funded by us Now the USA will have their say The story stays the same It’s our arms In the hands of Saudi Princes So they can play their games The war machine rolls on and on Displaced population no hopes of salvation England sold arms just to do them more harm Voided themselves of all responsibility No chance of freedom or democracy Just raping the land for what its got left Draining the oil for what they can sell No change of dictators just ones full of hatred All nations have failed again

Look Inside 01:56
Look Inside Their spreading hatred with viewpoints outdated There was never a time when these ideas were fine The way that we’re heading, the fear that they’re spreading Have we already run out of time? If we look inside Together we will find A better way to see We have a common enemy We have more in common with those in our communities With our neighbours and in the workplace Nothing in common with the rich and bourgeoisie Stick them on a plane to fly into the sea If we look inside Together we will find A better way to see We have a common enemy Divided we will fall if we cant see a common goal Together we could be what on our own we could never be! What we need to do is respect one another We can fight them back if we stick together Open your minds follow your hearts Stand up for the victims who carry the scars All refugees welcome it's our job to help them No borders no boundaries this world is all of ours

Saviour 02:38
Saviour Roll out the red carpet to cover up the poverty The homeless fill the streets but the problems clear to see Their solutions anti homeless spikes and religious charity If you criminalise the homeless you'll have more people on the streets When they took away squatting they took the means out of our hands While the bourgeoisie landlords control the land, control the land! The rich are getting richer And the poor are just staying poor As we struggle to survive We don't need a saviour We've been here before Saviour To come crashing through the door In the boredom we want something to do To figure out something to believe in Spending life trying to pass the time Then the saviour comes knockin at your door Spoken word The same situation, we've been here before While the ruling class, rule the land once more The same frustrations the same problems we all face They want you on the database, but it's time to cover your face Time, the saviour resigned The people save themselves If we can only wake up the sheep Like lambs to the slaughter Did we already accept defeat Do we let it all rot or squat the fuckin lot we’ve gotta tear it down to rebuild it Do you wanna be excited or do you wanna be divided We’ll give it everything that we got

The Puppeteer A shocking display of acting and amateur dramatics The wide angled view and seating makes it seem panoramic The lack of 3d leaves the strings clear to see I'm watching this puppet show but it don't amuse me I won't be happy until the walls fall down I wanna see the day they hit the ground Don't wanna wake up dont wanna give up I want to hear that sound of the walls crashing down For to long has this puppet show been going on For to long has the puppeteer hid behind closed doors They're the bankers, they're the CEO’s They’re the faces that no one knows Their masterpiece is their illusion We could do with a revolution I won't be happy until the walls fall down I wanna see the day they hit the ground Don't wanna wake up dont wanna give up We’ll fight this battle tonight Until the walls come crashing down Burn the puppeteer and the puppet dies as well I don't believe in heaven but i hope they burn in hell I will throw all my coins deep into the wishing well Just to see their faces burn

Vicious Games Where are the victims? Locked up in a cage Viewed by all the ages and the hidden sadists We see them suffer, for whose pleasure? How can we measure? Why do we lock life away when the cages should be thrown away Its not saving its endangering Prolonging the suffering Its not a fuckin game, Its life or fuckin death the animals in cages have no choices left They just want to raise a family not living in captivity Where fear and death are common place Inflicted by the human race Liberate the animals to liberate ourselves In the human race we don't need no alpha males But that should be plain to see like animals should all be free Not victims of our vicious games Of our vicious games Captivity drives them insane Liberate for fucks sake No more vicious games Its not saving its endangering Prolonging the suffering A cage with a life kept locked inside A heart with a passion a fight to survive All these vicious games No more vicious games full of fear and pain And its stuck in my head its all the fuckin same All the vicious games It's already too late

Left Behind 02:37
Left Behind I wake up and i go to work the same pattern repeats itself This land is so fractured and broken but one thing still remains While we argue amongst ourselves they steal food from our plates and stuff their faces We can't agree on anything No common ground to find The struggles of the past have all been left behind We’re still searching for it Left behind searching for it As we pass by before it Left behind searching for it We don't learn from our mistakes As we make them all again So scared of being different Still running from ourselves They stick us all in pigeon holes To categorise their lies Targeted advertising helps them Keep up the disguise People climbing fences over borders and divides Drowning in the sea just for want of a better life We’re all in this together They can't take away our dreams I could rant forever About how lifes not what it seems If we remember anything it's that one thing still remains The rich are getting richer every single day We’re still searching for it Left behind searching for it As we pass by before it Left behind searching for it

Burnt by the Sun I cannot believe it, the way we all Stand up and fall, they make you think you cannot believe it We’re led one by one Self destruction for some Don't fly too low Or get burned by the sun These capitalists they are not pacifists When they are selling our blood for their gold When the wheels keep on turning the bastards keep earning and we only reap what we sow And they'll come for the crops And they will take the lot Unless we fight for what we are owed When the lies get imported the truth gets distorted And so many stories are told We grow old We can march through this struggle and protect one and other We can stand in the streets, take back this land Take back the food from their greedy hands Greedy hands They can chop down the trees But what they forget is that we are seeds That grow into ideas, it costs nothing to dream No matter how hard they try they'll never bring us down I cannot believe it, the way we all Stand up and fall, they make you think you cannot believe it We’re led one by one Self destruction for some Don't fly too low Or get burned by the sun The morning starts the streets are bright The echoes of the whispers flow A warrior cries from the rooftops And the seagulls all disperse Flocks of gammon read the news confused, bemused by the blinding truth Unravelling the knot only to respin the yarn The mind moves towards sanctuary To find a place of calm In these times it can't do any harm An eclipse a total loss of freedom A realisation then a loss of reason Freedom comes in many forms Collective views become the norm No matter how hard they try they'll never bring us down
