Carnival of Chaos

They tried to ban the right to party, tried to ban the right to protest
Maybe now the time has come to put their power to the test
We swarmed up from the underground like rats from a sewer
Stood defiant in their midst directly confronted their power
Destroyed the inner sanctum of their temple to profit
The stormtroopers had to stand and watch - no way that they could stop it

Buildings were smashed, banks were trashed
All around smiles - we're all having fun
A riotous mob rampaging to music
The carnival of chaos has just begun

Symbols painted on the buildings, messages sprayed onto the walls
The message is clear, can't you hear? We don't want your shitstem or wars
We danced and partied in the street as the stock exchange it burned
And the wheels of capitalism ground and crunched as they tried their hardest to turn
One day of thousands stolen back maybe it's just a start
But days like these will always live on in freedom loving hearts

Keep up the noize

The abuse will continue if you give up, so don't
You can ask 'em to stop but without pressure they won't
A thousand individuals can make a lot of noize
Demos, emails, fax blockades give the abused a voice
It won't take long, but don't just give it thought
Give it some action but don't get caught
Is one day too much to ask out of your life
To help stop suffering pain and strife?

Keep up the noize, keep up the noize
Keep up the noize, keep up the fight
Keep up the noize, keep up the noize
Together we can win, fight for what's right

For Zapatisisa in Chiapas or animals in a lab
For foxes in a field or children in Iraq
Never give up, never call a truce
Until the bastards give up and stop the abuse
For the milions making money for those who sit above
Against a world of hate and for a world of love
Never give up, never call a truce
Until the bastards give up and stop the abuse

Justice Denied

A prisoner of conscience, a prisoner of war
Imprisoned for booting down a laboratory door
His crime was setting animals free
Now the state has taken his liberty

Sentence passed before they were tried
Locked away, all justice denied

Countless times on demos, the filth are on the attack
People fighting back get caught in the act
No longer free, they're stuck inside
They fought for freedom this is how the law replied

Corrupt officials, corrupt policemen
Lock people up again and again
Sentenced for "crimes" that they didn't commit
They call this justice, we call it shit

Can you not see it's all connected? The millions killed in wars, the animals vivisected, the starving in the third world, McDonalds burger bars, the victims of the slaugherhouse and the men who drive big cars? Playing god with animals, playing god with men their disregard for life manifests itself again. They sit so high in judgement but think how hard they'll fall...they'll never stop our struggle, they can't defeat us all.

Will the earth be inherited by the meek when all that power is used to stop us speak of the things in this world we see as unjust. I'm not saying we should, I'm saying we must, do what we can to right the wrongs - be it on the streets or in our songs...open people's eyes to the evil we see so they too will fight this insanity.....

Insanity of governments and multinationals who seek to exploit not only me and you but people and animals everywhere. Stop the talk, take action..... if you really fucking care.

Mad cow disease

Johhny was a bot who lied to eat his beef
Weren't vegetarian, couldn't stand that belief
Tucked into a MackieD or a pork pie
Said "I won't give up meat, I'd rather fucking die"

Then he got CJD. It's just like BSE. He sank to his knees. He's got mad cow disease

He stood behind the government when they said "It's OK"
In an out of the butchers shop every single day
Then he started to dribble, couldn't even talk
He would've eaten more but he couldn't hold his fork

Cos he has CJD. It's just like BSE. He sanke to his knees, He's got mad cow disease

Johnny was a boy who liked to eat his beef
Now all that's left is a grave and a wreath
He always liked to eat the fattened cow and calf
Maybe in death they had the last laugh
