lyrics

HD RIOT

here's the daily news of the twisted views
of the banks and the businessmen
of the war and the waste of the human race
and how our lives are already spent
but we know it already cos it's been on the telly
it's another world out there
it's a cultural fix as the images flick
and it keeps us all stuck in our chairs

it's what we come to see
the basic enemy
is inactivity
they don't care what's on as long as
people stay in watching it

now the programme's on about the rights and wrongs
and it's hard to agree which is which
the screens gets bigger the closer we get
til the rest of the world doesn't fit
now every mum's son is at number one
and there's nothing l;eft to surprise
the war and the weather and the show goes on
and everyone's in disguise

the new celebrity
has anonymity
it could be you and me
they don't expect what happens next
the gut reaction realised

there's a fight for the right to not get shot
for gathering on the streets
and closer to home when the fuse has blown
it's a race to grab a TV
it's high definition of aiming low
in a culture of hope destroyed
now see the effect of your disrespect
and how it's gone world-wide

your 'big society'
is out there rioting
what's your priority?
all sides in this culture war
are out there saying 'never again'
