Manmade 03:37
A million years of energy supply Ends up in the choking blood-red sky While the wind and rain blow down the drain And the sun just sets the time Another broadcast on the human race As the planet comes back for another day Of drilling for pollution Leaking radiation into the ocean What a way to go Humanity's vanity- we own the planet, we'll Use up all the energy and worry about it later Dig it up blow it up poison it and wonder Why there's so much hunger misery and cancer Cover up the guilt with deniability Arguing the toss and heading for extinction Need some more resources better go to war its Killing for the greed of civilisation Will we realise when the food we grow And the dark brown air and the H2O Start fusing our DNA There ain't nowhere else to go in outer space And the world lies bleeding What a way to go it's the end of the race On top of the world and covered ion waste Finally done it, what have we won? It's Premature oblivion- manmade

Face To Face 02:53
Here's to the people whose love for the world Is twisted by men with machines Caring and sharing the little we have Is not what we see on the screens For each hungry hand there's a fistful of cash Spent on the weapons of war So here's to the people who stand up and say- No more! They'll patronise the workers and demonise the poor And say they need to know our names It's the enemy without any clue what we're about That try to make us all the same Well I'm a piece of data and you're in a computer I never thought of it that way Cos the people that we meet are really so much more complete Than all the info stored away [chorus] Face to face -in three dimensions Face to face- good to see you looking human Some talk about inclusion as they're locking all the doors And getting driven round in cars Advertising power tradition Secrecy and class Well it's our choice to lead or be together or be led If we don't choose what we're told to Better ideas spread [ch] Here's to the people whose names we forget Or just never met, whose ideas we get Here's to the hearing the silence of fearing Turn to the cheering of recognition [ch]

Floods of facts that interact And contradict each other Truth is never more intact than when it's undiscovered Blinkers on the world is led by idiots in suits Who don't believe in global warming Human rights or evolution World's gone mad - disinformation - and its contagion - assimilation What was normal yesterday Just blew up in my face again Chemicals in food and air And water and in pills Permanently dizzy We addict ourselves to thrills Coming down the long way round The bus came off the tracks The driver''s sat there blinking Thinking - I never saw that coming World's gone mad -such fascination - with regulation - here's more distraction Keep up with the never-ending Ways to waste the time you're spending Well it's nice to think of losing it As comical and free- it fits The cosy and the rosy view of L U N A C Y you wouldn't want to go there But take a look outside There's chaos and confusion And they're wearing suits and ties World's gone mad - civilisation - disintegration - alienation No time left to hesitate And watch it all accelerate World's gone mad

Paralysed 03:25
Hot off the press Another tale of excess We measure awareness By our levels of stress Is ignorance bliss? Well It seems you're convinced, tell me How d'you sleep at night not dreaming Of a better place to be waking up to? What would it take to make you care? What would it take to make you feel? What would it take to make you Wide awake to your involvement? It's all in the figures They're emotional triggers They make us feel smaller As the problem gets bigger To not think about it Is the easy way round it To the people who supply the lies And those whose minds are paralysed [chorus] It doesn't bother me the bigger the lie.... it doesn't bother me it doesn't bother me the more it's believed WELL MAYBE [chorus]
