One Way System

Waiting For Zero


Real Me

The circles we move seem so small
Don't be fooled, they slowly grow
Stronger we get, more will be seen
Your weel-to-do ain't so supreme
The cover judged ain't the book in me
Such clever bastards -- life so twee

The real me is what you see
Fuck your conformity
Pride, passion and honesty
About the things so close to me
Close to me, close to me

Have a seat, let us talk
About our lives, separately walked
Try and try to ram your view
Materialistic works for you
Value of spirit works for me
Now's the time to stand and leave

The real me is what you see
Fuck your conformity
Pride, passion and honesty
About the things so close to me
Close to me, close to me

I am not more than less to you
I sense your fear when I am near (you)
Hold yourself for what you ain't
Let me in, see the change
Missed opportunity far and few
I take the chance to say FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!
FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!

The real me is what you see
Fuck your conformity
Pride, passion and honesty
About the things so close to me
Close to me, close to me

The real me is what you see
Fuck your conformity
Pride, passion and honesty
About the things so close to me
Close to me, close to me


On The Up

On the up!

Did you shout? -- thought I heard
Dig the line, reality works
Two hours before, I end my walk
1000 yards -- what for? What for?

On the up -- That intra feeling
Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling
Coming down -- In extremis
Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

On the up -- That intra feeling
Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling
Coming down -- In extremis
Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

A jacket full, my secrets inside
Constant sweat, constant lies
Thought I'd call -- you're never there
Spread your line and  disappear -- disappear

On the up -- That intra feeling
Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling
Coming down -- In extremis
Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

On the up -- That intra feeling
Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling
Coming down -- In extremis
Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

From my side, gaunt and thin
Can't be arsed, constantly said
So in control, why the lies?
Force of habit, rules your life -- rules your life

On the up -- That intra feeling
Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling
Coming down -- In extremis
Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this

On the up -- That intra feeling
Ain't lost my tongue -- Just licked the ceiling
Coming down -- In extremis
Excuse the silence -- It sees me through this


Search Your Soul

Look across the land
What was green with sand
It's all got out of hand
The sea is full of shit
No-one to admits to it
Just my frame of mind
Toxic fumes are in the air,
Ask questions -- no-one cares
Who's values, mine or theirs?

Standing on the outside looking in
Search your soul, children of a nation
Global corrosion -- its a sin
Search your soul, children of a nation
Seeds of destruction have been sown again
Search your soul, children of a nation
Together we stand, ease the pain
Search your soul, children of a na-na-na-na-nation

Vision of decay -
All mankind will pay
Waiting for the day
One man's stand against
The making of the plan
The future's in our hands
Mornings broken
And the world's awoken
To a better place

Standing on the outside looking in
Search your soul, children of a nation
Global corrosion -- its a sin
Search your soul, children of a nation
Seeds of destruction have been sown again
Search your soul, children of a nation
Together we stand, ease the pain
Search your soul, children of a na-na-na-na-nation

???
???
Nothing happens
Question's asked
Still no answers
What is the fucking point?
What is the fucking point?

Standing on the outside looking in
Search your soul, children of a nation
Global corrosion -- its a sin
Search your soul, children of a nation
Seeds of destruction have been sown again
Search your soul, children of a nation
Together we stand, ease the pain
Search your soul, children of a na-na-na-na-nation
Nation, nations unite


Systematic Abuse

I sit and wait, I watch the clock
It's my life they're wasting, it's still my fault
You paint something scary in your views
Meeting and forms, force-fed to confuse
He makes the decisions, I live the result
The system's incecurities I have to confront

The system abused you
The system refused you
The system confused you
And the system will lose you

You see I had it all, or so I thought
The system's grip turns to a tight hold
You say goodbye then I'll listen but make no mistake
Your 3rd rate policies that fuel my hate
Cold, glazed expressions are what I endure
Blind, mute and deaf seems the only cure

The system abused you
The system refused you
The system confused you
And the system will lose you

Held back, downtrodden was my fate
2 easy steps into a world of hate
Twenty more this week just like me
Divided by walls of apathy
One day we'll wake up and we'll learn
The corporate fuck-ups are our concern

The system abused you
The system refused you
The system confused you
And the system will lose you


Pressure On

Picture in your roaming mind,
Another place, another time
Once took more than just a whine,
To make me stop and look behind
False belief and vain hope,
I lie to myself and pretend to cope

Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me
Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me

Never mind you'll be blind,
You're confined to a paranoid mind
Never mind you'll be blind,
You're confined to a paranoid mind

Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me
Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me

If I stop and take a look,
The whispers stop, I become unstuck
A second look from slight eye,
The need to run from passers-by
Feeling I get from inside,
The need to run from the phantoms of mine
Having mind of a certain kind,
I'm confined to a paranoid mind

Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me
Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me

Never mind you'll be blind,
You're confined to a paranoid mind
Never mind you'll be blind,
You're confined to a paranoid mind

Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me
Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me

Fucked up mind is in a state,
Constant paranoia now turned to hate
You better go your fate is near,
Cling to a life you hold so dear
I see red I want you dead -
A lost cause is what the doctor said
Having mind of a certain kind,
I'm confined to a paranoid mind

Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me
Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me

Never mind you'll be blind,
You're confined to a paranoid mind
Never mind you'll be blind,
You're confined to a paranoid mind

Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me
Don't put too much pressure on,
Don't put too much pressure on me


Reality TV

Pictures flash, images sold
No sense, no thought, just behold
Star-spangled messiah struts the tube
Makes life easy just for you
Mr. no lips fights the wips
Liam and Patsy's wedding bliss
Dobbin beats the I.R.A.
(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away

Six numbers in, you'll miss the draw
Dream and spend, you watch some more
Evans got the car I need
Escape to virtual reality
A sterling show by the pound
Calvin's stink is well renowned
The weather's dull it's fair to say
(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away

Your favourite seat confronts the box
Remote control will help us watch
Technicolour overload keeps me in
Time and time and time again
Just sit there we'll be right back
The sense to move is what you lack
You want to view you'll have to pay
(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away

The votin's stopped it seems all Blair
Another day you're anchored there
Midnight again, you've just sat down
Last week's image just popped round
A thousand ways to spend a thought
Am I hip or missed the boat?
Into the net coz that's the way
(That's what happened just today)

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away

That's what happened yesterday
The more I watch, the more I stay
Something happened yesterday
I find it hard to break away -- away


Shut Up

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up, shut up

One year and still the same -- Don't wanna be left aground
Your bullshit and lies to blame -- You can't blame me
You live a lie that's so unique -- That's me, I'm so unique
You're fed on bullshit, now it's reached a peak -- No not me no

You know you know you know you know
You're just a fucking lie -- Man of the world
I know I know I know I know
The fucking reason why -- Man of the world
You know you know you know you know
You're just a fucking blame -- Man of the world
I know I know I know I know
I'll never be the fucking same -- Man of the world

Life goes on it's still the same -- You should know me by now
You're fucked promise still to blame -- Who said I won't be put down
Still live in lie, that's so unique -- Who's sorry now
You're fed on bullshit, it's reached a peak -- Now here you fall

You know you know you know you know
You're just a fucking lie -- Man of the world
I know I know I know I know
The fucking reason why -- Man of the world
You know you know you know you know
You're just a fucking blame -- Man of the world
I know I know I know I know
I'll never be the fucking same -- Man of the world

Shut up, shut up, shut up shut up,
Shut up, shut up, man of the world
Shut up, shut up, man of the world
Shut up, shut up, man of the world...

You know you know you know you know
You're just a fucking lie -- Man of the world
I know I know I know I know
The fucking reason why -- Man of the world
You know you know you know you know
You're just a fucking blame -- Man of the world
I know I know I know I know
I'll never be the fucking same -- Man of the world

What the fuck do you know?


Leave Me Alone

Miss a minute, miss an hour
Miss the meeting full of power
Miss the lines of constant depression
Catch my eye, witness my agression

Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone!
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone!
Leave me alone, leave me alone!

Not for you, not for me
Save me the humility
Knot the tie, time to fill
Meet you there, not until

Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone!
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone!
Leave me alone, leave me alone!

Yes to this, yes to that
Yes it's time to sit back
Three time ten down the line
Fuck you, I'm doing fine

Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone!
Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone!
Leave me alone, leave me alone!

Fuck off!!!

(Satanic shit)


Guilty

Long time ago -- remember our deal? Not just friends but family
Bare-face lies both sides of the fence, all you have to do is believe in me
To front the sounds in the public eye was your sense of the security
Now you're gone we justify yor lie, ain't that the way it's meant to be?

Guilty you said we're guilty. We ain't the guilty, you are the guilty.
Guilty. You were the guilty, get the right story before you accuse me.
Guilty you said we're guilty. We ain't the guilty, you are the guilty.
Guilty. You were the guilty, get the right story before you accuse me.

Your visionary guides the path we took, to the places that were right for you
Ties have to be broke, and bullshit dried up. Work it out, that will never do
Crawls back again to agree in vain, out trust and friendship took the strain
To all the people who you think they know -- we ain't about to lie down

Guilty you said we're guilty. We ain't the guilty, you are the guilty.
Guilty. You were the guilty, get the right story before you accuse me.
Guilty you said we're guilty. We ain't the guilty, you are the guilty.
Guilty. You were the guilty, get the right story before you accuse me.

Here today, we'll be here tomorrow -- yes that's something you can count on
Keep on answering to the lack of truth, that is always thrown back by you
Ain't gonna stop us- we have our plan -- our way or no fucking way
With all that said, just this to say -- who's guilty, us, you or they?

Guilty you said we're guilty. We ain't the guilty, you are the guilty.
Guilty. You were the guilty, get the right story before you accuse me.
Guilty you said we're guilty. We ain't the guilty, you are the guilty.
Guilty. You were the guilty, get the right story before you accuse me.


Enemy

Enemy!

Not your cross to bear, not your who goes there
Not the need to talk, not the time at all
Not restriction free, not the who to be (not me)
Not a long lost friend, not a lifeless trend

Sick of what you think of me
Stand back instinctively
Take a look then listen to me:
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy

Sick of what you think of me
Stand back instinctively
Take a look then listen to me:
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy

Not the here nor there, not the hole in the air
Not a story run, not to blame the gun
Not world industry, not pollution free
Not to be ?a rathe?, not to take the bait

Sick of what you think of me
Stand back instinctively
Take a look then listen to me:
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy

Sick of what you think of me
Stand back instinctively
Take a look then listen to me:
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy

Not a fuckin' freak, not select elite
Not got up tonight, not believe the hype
Not a regular guy, not see eye to I
Not a circumstance, not to miss the chance

Sick of what you think of me
Stand back instinctively
Take a look then listen to me:
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy

Sick of what you think of me
Stand back instinctively
Take a look then listen to me:
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy
I'm not your enemy

Who? Me?

(Not the grown-up type, not yet see the light
Not know what to do, not enough for you
Not I do not know, not gonna take no more
Not at all mad, not the never had)


Believe Yourself

Original sinners, blaspheme beginners,
In a mind's eye who lies within us
Body and soul open to receive,
There's two sides to every belief
Me, myself and all my brotherhood
Be yourself not misunderstood

Believe yourself, don't give a fuck what they believe
Believe yourself, open mind so much to see
Believe yourself, number one ain't done much wrong
Believe yourself, the only way to be

Him or hymn, do they listen in?
Should we stand, celebrate and sing?
People like me, are we so wrong,
Self-belief, a feeling so strong
Me, myself and all my brotherhood
Be yourself not misunderstood

Believe yourself, don't give a fuck what they believe
Believe yourself, open mind so much to see
Believe yourself, number one ain't done much wrong
Believe yourself, the only way to be

Believe yourself, don't give a fuck what they believe
Believe yourself, open mind so much to see
Believe yourself, number one ain't done much wrong
Believe yourself, the only way to be

Believe yourself, don't give a fuck what they believe
Believe yourself, open mind so much to see
Believe yourself, number one ain't done much wrong
Believe yourself, the only way to be


Backshine

The rhythm of your voice -- it cuts me through
No secrets in what I reveal to you
A smile for my face, but a knife for my back
You're Mr.Transparent, true friends you lack

No time for greed, backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine

You climb your ladder all by yourself
Away from work there ain't no-one else
In the office you drift on by
So called-friends avoid your eye

No time for greed backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine

A brown stained tongue makes your breath foul
The centre of hate when you're not around
Continue to stab the back of the world
You won't be heard it's time to learn

No time for greed backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine

No time for greed backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine
Backshine, backshine, backshine


Rise To Flame

Jacata charts his rise to flame
Bob Hasan hides as his people complain
The forests are burning out of control
The city mourns the death of it all

Who will face the blame
For Bob's rise to flame?

Pak the man leads their stand
Is moral war for this burning land
Complained about the wrongs of the State
Pumped up charge fucked Pak's fate

When they set the fire
Who's gonna put it out?

T.V. ads. full of lies tell the people it's alright
The fire in the wood burns out of control
Who's gonna believe you?
Is it wrong to stand and fight?
Somehow we've got to know
The fire in wood burns out of control
Who's law of destruction?

Bob sees fit to choke the earth
Ex-presidents tries to show their concern
Do they listen to the forest die?
Face your public and tell them why

Now you have to explain
How you seek to repay

3 million acres for your save-face
What will it take, what is the price?
A moral war for a precious land
It's time to listen, give the people a chance

You know your face is gonna fall
And it's you who choke us all

T.V. ads. full of lies tell the people it's alright
The fire in the wood burns out of control
Who's gonna believe you?
Is it wrong to stand and fight?
Somehow we've got to know
The fire in wood burns out of control
Who's law of destruction?

T.V. ads. full of lies tell the people it's alright
The fire in the wood burns out of control
Who's gonna believe you?
Is it wrong to stand and fight?
Somehow we've got to know
The fire in wood burns out of control
Who's law of destruction?
