banned from the roxy

crass

banned from the roxy. o.k. i never much liked playing there anyway. they said they only wanted well behaved boys

do they think guitars and microphones are just fucking toys?

fuck 'em

i chosen to make my stand

against what i feel is wrong with this land. they just sit there on their overfed arses

feeding off the sweat of less fortunate classes. they keep their fucking power cause their finger's on the button

they've got control and won't let it be forgotten. the truth of their reality is at the wrong end of a gun

the proof of that is belfast and that's no fucking fun. seeing the squaddy lying in the front yard

seeing the machine guns resting on the fence. finding the entrance to your own front door is barred

and they've got the fucking nerve to call it defence. seems their defence is just the threat of strength

protection for the privileged at any length. the government protecting their profits from the poor

the rich and the fortunate chaining up the door. afraid that the people may ask for a little more

than the shit they get. the shit they get. the shit they get. the shit they get. the shit they get. the shit they get. the shit they get. the shit they get. defence? shit

it's nothing less than war

and no one but the government knows what the fuck it's for. oh yes they say it's defence

they say it's decency

mai lai

hiroshima

know what i mean?

the same fucking lies with depressing frequency

they say we had to do it to keep our lives clean"
