Lyrics

This democracy?
I think I’m sick of it
Constantly politicking chicken-shit liberalists
If that sounds harsh it’s fucking meant to, live with it
Heart full of fire little drizzle to extinguish it
See the evil, hear the evil, talk a lot of bullshit
Complain about their ways but still support it
I heard a revolution’s coming, better baton down your bandwidth
Make stands from ya laptop and then finish off your sandwich
But, oh shit! This isn’t just a Twitter campaign
We gonna take to the streets, then The Man will know our name
But every protest is authorised, cleared and sanctioned
So is that really a protest or just a pleasant little gathering?
Two million marched against a war and then what did they do?
Complained that no-one listened, man there’s two million of you
And all those mad about the fact you didn’t vote for our leaders
Your solution is to wait and vote again? Fucking genius
That stiff upper lip? Shit, man, that was good marketing
Make mans trait to “never complain”, remove the spark from him
Charming little phrase for emotionally retarding him
Hold it down, son, feel your darkened heart hardening
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
Listen
It’s a British tradition, an orange camper van
Used to staple sheet up to walls, battle plans
From J18, yeah, we had ‘em, man
Back at Cable Street, no pasaran
Run them out, our crew’s quicker than the news
Where the need for speed beat the need for truth
It was direct action in your fucking face
Not throwing all your hope into cyberspace and
Tracking your trouble, trickology tracing you
Tracking the chatter no matter the clatter, basic truths
Tricking the cheater, check the case and then be chasing you
That’s what’s facing you
It’s OK to have your own point of view
And not just quote other people when you try to argue
Can we save the youth from our stiff upper lip
And stop them quoting Russell Brand, me and Pip
They don’t care about your situation
They just wanna grab your information
That’s why I don’t like Facebook Groups
I like to group up and chase them crooks
Retina scanners, closed-circuit cameras
I wear bandannas on my face and hood
A Retweet’s just a retreat, damn
When a brick through a window’s worth two in the hand
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
Fuck your stiff upper lip, pick up a brick
And if the crime fits then fucking do something with it
