Is everybody now content?
With the British government,
Have we given up the fight?
Have we lost touch with what's right?
Is the anger slipping away?
Do we have anything left to say?
Our main objective is no more,
May as well just close the door,
Where's the riots, where are the protests?
Where's the justified unrest?
Where's the vote of no confidence?
Are we living in pretence?
Are we putting up with this?
The whole charade stinks of piss,
I'm not ready to be done,
I can't be the only one,
And when, they try, to sell, their lies,
They'll test our, reactions, based on their, distractions, they'll prod, and poke, do we, revolt, or do we, just lay down, and watch,
Watch the world burn,
The writing's on the wall,
Do we stand proud or fall,
Do we just accept we're slaves,
From the cradle to the grave,
Divide and conquer's the tactic,
Keep us segregated and static,
Fill our minds with grand disillusions,
Of power, choices, solutions,
Mainstream media provides our thoughts,
Acts of rebellion fills reports,
Do as they say not as they do,
A model citizen becomes you,
The writing's on the wall,
Do we stand proud or fall,
Do we just accept we're slaves,
From the cradle to the grave,
We're all an experiment,
Social experiment,
We will not overcome,
Until we unite as one.

At first this will probably sound like pretty raw punk music. However, a careful listener will notice that it is not as chaotic as it might first seem, that the melodies and lyrics intertwine quite smartly, that there is much more than meet the ear at first hear. Those who will continue will discover a very good balance between raw ebnergy and well constructed songs, an immediate sense of urgency which went through just enough refinement. In other words, a great punk album. Thibaut Devigne
