歌詞
[Verse 1]
I abstain!
[Verse 2]
Summon my pride?
What? Pride behind your blinkered eyes?
Your vigilance is shit
"The lads together"—you'll fall!
[Verse 3]
Smug complacency
Notions of reserving the right to think with your fists
I abstain from this mundane apathy
[Verse 4]
Commited to "All for red, white and blue"
In effect you're fighting for what's really fighting you
[Verse 5]
"Grit those teeth, push out those chests"
Tears only for the flag
Always the brave patriot as you slip to second class
But you stand steadfast?
[Verse 6]
People are not subjects
Why should the few get more respect?
Open your eyes!
[Verse 7]
Imperialism feeds off you
Not patrons but patronised
Open your eyes!
[Verse 8]
They're shaping you - you're trapped with 'pomp and circumstance'
Lose your discretion
Soon, you'll not fall from grace
Endorse their rhetoric
You fade, they prosper
[Verse 9]
They're shaping you - you're trapped with 'pomp and circumstance'
Lose your discretion
Soon, you'll not fall from grace
Endorse their rhetoric
You fade, they prosper
[Verse 10]
I abstain!
Don't be a colonial slave
Don't substantiate the act
