lyrics

CLAMPDOWN

Fingers on the buttons of all these suits and ties
Here come the instructions on how to live a life
We'll keep it entertaining as we tell you that you're screwed
And advertise the notion that we're all so free to choose

And as we blame the people who are rarely met or named
For unemployment rising bills and things that aren't the same
And as we learn to need the screen to be our anaesthetic
The world turns on the telly- what was that mate? Ah forget it

We got to wise up to the clampdown

A population of consumers everyone has their price
That lives on ego cravings and forgets how to be nice
To others who if spoken to would be a mirror to our faces
Most of us could use the trust we lost to those in higher places

Awoken heard and spoken repeated and discussed
All the split perceptions that we cling to- them and us
Filtered down divisions end up fighting on the bus
That's the way they like it- they think we'll never get it sussed

We got to wise up to the clampdown

There's unity in poverty when desperation shares
Its loneliness- used to think I didn't care
Wise up to the whys and wheres the cause of all this stress
Psychotic ideology: 'trust us we know best'

This isn't just a battle it's more or less a war
Cos nothing short of shouting seems to get through anymore
Now we know we're not alone in wanting this to change
Cos we've all got something better to say

We got to wise up to the clampdown
