[00:53.09] Big A, little A, bouncing B
[00:55.20] The system might have got you, but it won't get me
[00:57.59] 1 - 2 - 3 - 4
[00:58.94] External control, are you gonna let them get you?
[01:01.07] Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
[01:03.19] You say you want to be yourself, by Christ, do you think they'll let you?
[01:05.31] They're out to get you, get you, get you, get you, get you, get you, get you
[01:07.70] Hello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God, can you hear?
[01:11.68] Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for you down there
[01:15.94] On earth I have ambassadors, archbishop, vicar, pope
[01:20.72] We'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope
[01:24.97] We're telling you you'd better pray 'cause you were born in sin
[01:29.48] Right from the start, we'll build a cell, and then we'll lock you in
[01:33.74] We sit in holy judgement condemning those that stray
[01:38.51] We offer our forgiveness, but first we'll make you pay
[01:43.02] External control, are you gonna let them get you?
[01:45.42] Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
[01:47.54] You say you want to be yourself, by Christ, do you think they'll let you?
[01:49.93] They're out to get you, get you, get you, get you, get you, get you, get you
[01:52.05] Hello, hello, hello, now here's a massage from your queen
[01:56.03] As figurehead of the status quo, I set the social scene
[02:00.56] I'm most concerned about my people, I want to give them peace
[02:05.10] So I'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police
[02:09.88] My prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors
[02:14.13] For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more
[02:18.64] Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't allow
[02:23.16] So I'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow
[02:27.67] External control, are you gonna let them get you?
[02:30.06] Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
[02:32.72] You say you want to be yourself, by Christ, do you think they'll let you?
[02:34.85] They're out to get you, get you, get you, get you, get you, get you, get you
[02:36.97] Introducing the Prime Sinister, she's a mother to us all
[02:40.96] Like the Dutch boy's finger in the dyke, her arse is in the wall
[02:45.19] Holding back the future, waiting for the seas to part
[02:49.99] If Moses did it with his faith, she'll do it with an army
[02:54.23] Who at times of threatened crisis are certain to be there
[02:56.89] Guarding national heritage, no matter what or where
[02:59.27] Palaces for kings and queens, mansions for the rich
[03:01.41] Protection for the wealthy, defense of privilege
[03:03.80] They've learnt the ropes In Ireland, engaged in civil war
[03:05.92] Fighting for the ruling classes in their battle against the poor
[03:08.04] So Ireland's just an island? It's an island of the mind
[03:10.18] Great Britain? Future? Bollocks, you'd better look behind
[03:11.78] Round every other corner stands P.C. 1984
[03:14.96] Guardian of the future, he'll implement the law
[03:17.34] He's there as a grim reminder that no matter what you do
[03:19.46] Big brothers system's always there with his beady eyes on you
[03:21.86] From God to local bobby, in home and street and school
[03:23.98] They've got your name and number while you've just got their rule
[03:26.37] We've got to look for methods to undermine those powers
[03:28.49] It's time to change the tables, the future must be ours
[03:35.37] Big A, little A, bouncing B
[03:46.92] The system might have got you but it won't get me
[03:49.58] Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
[03:53.57] I am he and she is she, but you're the only you
[03:58.11] No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see
[04:02.62] It's up to you to change your life, and my life's up to me
[04:07.12] The problems that you suffer from are problems that you make
[04:11.65] The shit we have to climb through is the shit we choose to take
[04:15.91] If you don't like the life you live, change it now, it's yours
[04:21.20] Nothing has effects if you don't recognize the cause
[04:25.99] If the programme's not the one you want, get up, turn off the set
[04:30.50] It's only you that can decide what life you're gonna get
[04:35.01] If you don't like religion, you can be the antichrist
[04:40.07] If your tired of politics, you can be an anarchist
[04:44.58] But no one ever changed the church by pulling down a steeple
[04:46.70] And you'll never change the system by bombing number ten
[04:49.35] Systems just aren't made of bricks, they're mostly made of people
[04:51.47] You may send them into hiding, but they'll be back again
[04:53.61] If you don't like the rules they make, refuse to play their game
[04:58.67] If you don't want to be a number, don't give them your name
[05:02.91] If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to hear their question
[05:08.23] Silence is a virtue, use it for your own protection
[05:12.21] They'll try to make you play their game, refuse to show your face
[05:17.26] If you don't want to be beaten down, refuse to join their race
[05:21.51] Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
[05:26.57] I am he and she is she, but you're they only you
