Prologue

This is the dawn of a new era.
Our time has come and we've had enough!
We've had enough of the pressure put unto by generations who have somehow, simultaneously, had a life easier, and harder than us.
We've had enough of being stereotyped as naive and ill-informed
We've had enough of being called "Snowflakes" by boomers
who get offended by vegan sausage-rolls and burkas.
We've had enough of dismissal and condescension.
This one's for the rage!
This one's for the frustration!
This one is for the plight of the millennial!

Psycho-apathy
02:38
|
|||
|
I don't set goals cos I don't care if I reach them.
Don't have the motivation to try and achieve one.
My life's a clusterfuck of things I need to do.
But I'm too busy doing nothing!
No motivation
No stimulation
No motivation
I'll land on my feet
Cos I've got psycho-apathy
I won't get through to me
Cos I've got psycho-apathy
Deluded.
Convinced everything will work itself out.
It has before, so why wouldn't it now?
I'll just procrastinate and waste all of my time.
Cos everything will be just fine!
No motivation
No stimulation
No motivation
And I don't care if I don't care.
No.

Divide & Conquer

Class war! Class war! Lets have a class war!
What the fuck even is middle class?
Convinced yourself you're not "common folk"
But you're just an average Joe with a stick up your ass
Spend half your waking hours as a glorified slave
Just so you can survive.
But if your 40 hour weeks are barely making rent,
Then it doesn't really matter where you live or what you drive.
EURGH!
Class war! Class War! Let's have a class war!
Why are people so content with being extorted?
Slaves to your possessions cos you think it makes a you a better person
Trapped in this regressive world where money is life.
Consumerist society is praying on your fantasies
This advertisement culture is taking the piss!
The companies don't care about the people or the planet,
They only give a shit about turning profits!
If we weren't so busy deciding who's "poor"
We could smash the bourgeoisie.

Coping
02:14
|
|

|
I've been feeling kinda shit lately and I'm not sure how to cope.
So I'll have a lot to drink and fabricate some hope.
I know I'll feel content as long as I've got double vision,
And broadcast all my grievances to anyone who'll listen!
I've been feeling kinda shit lately and I don't know what to do
So I'll isolate myself and recover in a week or two.
I'm not being ignorant or rude, I just need time.
to organize my thoughts and feel content in my own mind!

News Corp. Monopoly
01:56
|
|||
|
Here comes Rupert Murdoch strolling through the black and white.
Deciding who to make you think is wrong and who is right.
Rupert doesn't give a shit about what's right or what is fair.
He cares about backing people who'll maintain him a billionaire.
Burn the newspapers!
Smash the T.V's!
Think for yourself
Discard what you read.
Publishing slander and gossip, disguising them as facts.
Holed up in the U.S.A avoiding UK tax.
News corp. monopoly controlling all you see and hear.
Twisting your agenda by in sighting hate and fear.

National Pride
02:06
|
|||
|
Pride cometh before a fall,
And national pride will doom us all!
Don't ask me, if I give a shit about my country!
Ask your precious country if it gives a shit about you!
Think you're special just because you were born on different soil,
So you try your best to estrange yourself from the rest of the world!
I see it happen all the time.
Repugnant spew from a narrow mind.
Blinded by ignorance.
Insolent belligerence.
HATE!
There's everything to lose now we've raised the stakes
But ignorance and stubbornness an English man makes.
Go!

With All Due Respect
02:44

What ever happened to anarchy?
This world is run by hypocrisy!
Saints take the fall while the sinners take it all
And I'm not sure I can take it anymore!
I'm tryna crush, the monarchy,
Cos I'm sick and damn tired of this hierarchy!
We work to live, or was it live to work?
Whilst spending life searching for something free!
What ever happened to destruction?
This generation is a malfunction
Lines and lines of hipsters and posers
In this life I wanna be a chooser
I'm tryna crush the modern scene
Cos I'm sick and damn tired of these indie freaks!
It's about how you look and not how you think
And writing songs about heart-breaking!
