Anti-System

A Look At Life 12"


Take A Look At Life

The unfortunate are abused by those who roll in their riches and wealth
Shit to us all they're only concerned about ones our self
Kept in our place, divided, their authorities rule
We are made to grovel and beg, in their eyes we're the dumb fool

The people are tormented by the ones who hold the most power
Confused and frustrated, so still show the dove or the flower
Ignored and disregarded, then made to look the joke
In their eyes we're the shit, who they love to provoke

As I look at life, it seems so unfair
So many fucked up bastards that just don't care
How much ore of this shit can you take, before you start to think
That the ones that abuse are the ones that stink
That the ones that abuse are the ones that stink

The people are divided, police and army their forces ridicule
Forced to stay in line, forced not to break a rule
The ones most concerned, are the ones made to feel the most pain
A child dies of cold and hunger, still they show no shame

How fare will they go, just how far will they take it
As provoked and tormented people aren't going to take no more shit
Centuries of lies, deceit, death from those at the top
Well those bastards will deserve all they get if they refuse to stop

As I look at life, it seems so unfair
So many fucked up bastards that refuse to care
How much more of this shit can you take, before you start to think
That the ones that abuse are the ones that stink
That the ones that abuse are the ones that stink


Leather, Bristles, Studs And Ignorance

So you think you're a threat of this diseased system with your leather and spicked hair
With the painted hide of butchered animal on your back, don't tell me that you care
Gangs of mowhawks and spikey tops obey pathetic fashion rules
Following the medias potrayal like sheep haven't you got your own minds you fools
Playing into the system, you so loathe and hate
Consumed by the same system so much for the rebels of the state

Then they will bleed from you all that they want
Just as they kill our earth day by day
Then they will bleed from you all that they want
Just as they kill our earth day by day
Then they will bleed from you all that they want
Just as they kill our earth day by day
Then they will bleed from you all that they want
Just as they kill our earth day by day

Learn to use your own mind and you'll soon see what's going on
In their poor fucked up world where nothing's right and all is wrong
There are none as deaf as those who won't listen
And what we are saying must never be forgotten
There are none as deaf as those who won't listen
And what we are saying must never be forgotten


In My Eyes

The hate that burns in my eyes
Is the hatred that you have caused
The pains in my heart
Bring tears, yes that you have brought
Through your ignorance and selfishness
You stand feeling you've done nothing wrong
In your blindness and stupidity
You cannot see what you have done
Now what you have caused is a crime against innocent lives
You have destroyed so many in yet so little time
Senile minds, polluted dull brains
Children's bloated stomachs, bodies taut in pain
Hungry mouths to feed, you feel isn't your concern
Ugly weapons before people, why won't you ever learn
Learn that life should surely come before death
And that preserving live should be written in your text
To learn that life should surely come before death
And that preserving live should be written in your text

In my eyes


Paradise?

I despise the shit lifestyle you have taken, that you have chosen
Fridge-freezer false happiness, corpse in the new oven
Tuck into death, as you admire this automatic new world around you
The miracle of the microwave cooks the animal that you slayed
In your world of buttons and knobs you turn "Face Blank"
Empty faced in your luxurious heaven, paradise
Never understanding those in so desperate need
No never understanding those who cry those who plead

Turn on the television, your face blank as that of the set
Minds drift away, minds that seem to always forget
Ignoring the reality only thinking of possessions of your shit lives
New car for the hubby, new fur coat for the wife
No never understanding as you're always competing
Who's got the best, who's got the worst, debating
No crap for you as you race for the top
No hardship for you as you never had it so good

No pains from hunger as you never had to starve
No aches from work as you never found work hard
You laugh and laugh because you know that you could
You laugh and laugh as you never had it so good
What you've got out of life, you smile as you stare
What you've got out of life, you take pride, you take care
Don't bother about the poorer parts of the world struggling to survive
Care only for your precious possessions that distract you from their hellish lives

I despise the shit lifestyle you have taken, that you have chosen
Fridge-freezer false happiness, corpse in the new oven
Tuck into death, as you admire this automatic new world around you
The miracle of the microwave cooks the animal that you slayed
In your world of buttons and knobs you turn "Face Blank"
Empty faced in your luxurious heaven, paradise
Never understanding those in so desperate need
No never understanding those in so desperate need


The Table Must Turn

Goodbye for now, the ignorant rich shut their doors
Making sure they're locked from those so desperatly poor
Fuck to the dying and the hungry, the rich have all they need
With their wealth, possessions, protection and greed

Just how can they sit back and watch them die

Sit back and watch them die then eat the roast
After a meal a cigar they then declare a toast
In their castles, mansions, villas and good homes
In their offices and banks their income soar

Just how can they sit back so smug and watch them die

Their grains and profits are made for mass murder
Investments in this and that also contribute to the slaughter
To have the best incomes is their only aim
And whoever tries to interfere, their law will soon tame

You comfortable set of rich bastards

Well surely now's the time for the tables must turn
Shitting on the deprived well they're going to have to learn
Learn that the poorer people have taken so much shit
And now's the time to put an abrupt end to it

You heartless set of bastards we will soon share your wealth
