lyrics

Fuck the system, fuck tradition,
Fuck religion and especially Christians,
Fuck the rich, man, fuck the poor,
There's fuck all in the middle, and it seems there's becoming...

...more unemployed, young and annoyed,
In fact, it's not just age specific,
It seems, our dreams,
Are crushed by the country we live in,
Less jobs, every day,
Parliament kills industry,
I've heard them say,
Looks like we might not be okay,

All my life, I've spent my time,
Thinking of a way to break the chain,
Destroy, enjoy,
But time has come for me to make a change,
And now I'm trying to fit in,
Doesn't look like I'm gonna win,
Me and a million others,
If it seems you're being fucked I wanna you shouting;

Fuck the system, fuck tradition,
Fuck religion and especially Christians,
Fuck the rich, man, fuck the poor,
Let's fuck ourselves up, and break the fucking...

...law dictates we live our lives,
Living out of compromise,
We scratch their backs, they break our spines,
And somehow we're still guilty of,
Not actively seeking work,
"Get a job, you lazy low-life scum",
Take a look in the mirror shit-face,
Looks like there's even less to come,

One million unemployed,
Who's left to pay the tax,
The banks will make a killing,
As our livelihoods all crack,
One billion unemployed,
Who's left to pay the tax,
Celebrities? The upper class?
It's time to take a little...

Back in time they knighted heroes,
Instead of pop musicians,
Actors and even Alan Sugar,
The inventor of defunct computer systems,
Is there, any pride in getting fucked,
Without consent? Cos I'm pretty sure that's rape,
But since we're being filmed by CCTV,
We're all on tape,

Fuck the system, fuck tradition,
Fuck religion and especially Christians,
Fuck the rich, man, fuck the poor,
There's fuck all in the middle, so let's go fuck it all,
