Big a Little A
[00:39.50] Big A, little A, bouncing B
[00:55.17] The system might have got you but it won't get me
[00:57.55] 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
[00:58.88] External control are you gonna let them get you?
[01:00.99] Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
[01:03.15] You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
[01:05.25] They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you
[01:07.37] Hello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God, can you hear?
[01:11.36] Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for you down there
[01:15.90] On earth I have ambassadors, archbishop, vicar, pope
[01:20.13] We'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope
[01:24.66] We're telling you you'd better pray 'cause you were born in sin
[01:29.44] Right from the start we'll build a cell and then we'll lock you in
[01:33.68] We sit in holy judgement condemning those that stray
[01:38.21] We offer our forgiveness, but first we'll make you pay
[01:42.97] External control are you gonna let them get you?
[01:45.36] Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
[01:47.50] You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
[01:49.63] They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you
[01:52.02] Hello, hello, hello, now here's a massage from your queen
[01:55.99] As figurehead of the status quo I set the social scene
[02:00.51] I'm most concerned about my people, I want to give them peace
[02:05.03] So I'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police
[02:09.81] My prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors
[02:14.06] For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more
[02:18.57] Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't allow
[02:23.11] So I'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow
[02:27.61] External control are you gonna let them get you?
[02:30.01] Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
[02:32.12] You say you want to be yourself, by Christ do you think they'll let you?
[02:34.78] They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you
[02:36.92] Introducing the Prime Sinister, she's a mother to us all
[02:40.90] Like the dutch boy's finger in the dyke her arse is in the wall
[02:45.14] Holding back the future waiting for the seas to part
[02:49.68] If Moses did it with is faith, she'll do it with an army
[02:54.72] Who at times of threatened crisis are certain to be there
[02:56.86] Guarding national heritage no matter what or where
[02:59.25] Palaces for kings and queens, mansions for the rich
[03:01.37] Protection for the wealthy, defence of privilege
[03:03.50] They've learnt the ropes In Ireland, engaged in civil war
[03:05.62] Fighting for the ruling classes in their battle against the poor
[03:07.74] So Ireland's just an island? It's an island of the mind
[03:09.89] Great Britain? Future? Bollocks, you'd better look behind
[03:12.56] Round every other corner stands P.C. 1984
[03:14.68] Guardian of the future, he'll implement the law
[03:17.06] He's there as a grim reminder that no matter what you do
[03:19.18] Big brothers system's always there with his beady eyes on you
[03:21.56] From God to local bobby, in home and street and school
[03:23.97] They've got your name and number while you've just got their rule
[03:26.09] We've got to look for methods to undermine those powers
[03:28.21] It's time to change the tables. The future must be ours
[03:30.88] Big A, little A, bouncing B
[03:51.87] The system might have got you but it won't get me
[03:52.94] Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
[03:56.38] I am he and she is she but you're the only you
[03:58.23] No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see
[04:02.76] It's up to you to change your life and my life's up to me
[04:07.26] The problems that you suffer from are problems that you make
[04:11.79] The shit we have to climb through is the shit we choose to take
[04:16.31] If you don't like the life you live, change it now it's yours
[04:20.84] Nothing has effects if you don't recognise the cause
[04:25.88] If the programme's not the one you want, get up, turn off the set
[04:29.88] It's only you that can decide what life you're gonna get
[04:34.92] If you don't like religion you can be the antichrist
[04:39.69] If your tired of politics you can be an anarchist
[04:44.21] But no one ever changed the church by pulling down a steeple
[04:47.14] And you'll never change the system by bombing number ten
[04:49.26] Systems just aren't made of bricks they're mostly made of people
[04:51.65] You may send them into hiding, but they'll be back again
[04:53.52] If you don't like the rules they make, refuse to play their game
[04:58.03] If you don't want to be a number, don't give them your name
[05:03.07] If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to hear their question
[05:08.12] Silence is a virtue, use it for your own protection
[05:12.64] They'll try to make you play their game, refuse to show your face
[05:17.41] If you don't want to be beaten down, refuse to join their race
[05:21.92] Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
[05:25.12] I am he and she is she but you're they only you
