Blond streaks in their hair Shirts worn short so their bellies are bare Ponytail or fringe Fake tan making their skin look orange Stuck to their mobile phones Looking like a bunch of clones Binge drinking on a saturday night Any excuse to get in a fight. What about individuality? How about a little eccentricity? What's wrong with originality, yeah? The shaven headed dudes With their racist attitudes Reading Nuts and Zoo Thinking that it's cool In their ugly little cars Sound system booming four to the bar And the bands all sound the same And they all got stupid names How about a little creativity? What happened to respectability? What about a bit of common decency, yeah? It's the kids of today What happened to responsibility? What about a bit of spontaneity? What's wrong with solidarity, yeah? The pop tarts on TV Flashing their knickers for all to see and it won't be long I know Before someone gets their tits out on a video And reality TV Celebrates mediocrity So how can I say I got faith in the kids of today? Things aren't the way they oughta be Not the world I want for my daughter, no Think ya free, but somebody bought ya, oh yeah It's the kids of today I said someone better pray For the kids of today Yeah the kids of today They ain't got nothing to say

Don't you fall for it Don't you fall for it I've lived on this planet for fifty years I seen a lotta pain n' I seen a lotta tears Too many people tryna tell you what to do Like somehow they think they know better than you I'm not taking anymore No no no Not taking anymore Trust in yourself n' do what feels right No two potatoes are ever alike Try to stand out, don't try to fit in Be true to your heart, don't let them win Don't you fall for it Don't you fall for it People keep tryna getcha to conform All my life I've never met anyone normal Everyone's weird but we're taught to suppress it Show it too much n' you might get arrested I'm not faking anymore No no no I'm not taking anymore Living their lives with greed n' lust Look in their eyes all you'll see is mistrust Fake smiles limp handshakes they say they're your friends Think for yourself, they'll soon drop the pretence Don't you fall for it Don't you fall for it All of their scheming is just to control So we don't notice just what they stole They're tryna convince their illusions are real So they can continue to lie cheat n' steal Well I'm breaking down the door Yeah yeah yeah I'm not taking anymore Lift up your eyes, see the skies thru the smoke If we can believe in ourselves, we have hope Don't let them tell ya how to be you We are the many, they are the few Don't you fall

How did they build the pyramids? Is there life on Mars? What’s the sound of one hand clapping? How do ships get in jars? Is the Pope a catholic? Who lives in the castle? And how the hell could you fall in love With such an arsehole? How long is a piece of string? What will happen tomorrow? Is there more to life than this? Must it be filled with sorrow? Why did the chicken cross the road? What’s inside the parcel? And how the hell could you fall in love With such an arsehole? These questions keep on worrying me; They are life’s unsolved mysteries. If you’ve an answer, tell me now. I won’t believe you, anyhow. What’s the price of fish today? Is there life after death? Does God exist or not? How much time have we left? When will I be famous? Is it worth the hassle? And how the hell could you fall in love With such an asshole?

The Butcher 02:32
There’s a man who kills for money Sheep, cows, pigs and bunnies. Smiling as he wields the axe. It’s the butcher. Dead flesh is his trade. Guts on the floor, blood on the blade. Laughing as he cuts and hacks. He’s the butcher. Could you do it yourself? Kill a creature to put in your mouth? I bet you wouldn’t, you wouldn’t do it would yer? You leave it to the butcher. Think about the animal’s life, Bred to die under the knife. Who’s the man who makes a killing? It’s the butcher. Selling death by the pound. Dismembered bodies displayed around. This is war; it makes the till ring For the butcher. Can you understand? The beast’s blood is on your hands. So tell me if you can, could yer, Who’s the butcher?

If it takes me all night Gotta find a way If it takes me all night n' day Gotta find a way to your heart

Tidal waves hurricanes floods n earthquakes breaking Mother Earth shaking just to see who's awakened How much more can this mother take? How long before the motherfucker breaks? The icing is melting off the top of the cake Try to clean up but we keep stepping on the rake Smack in the face with the handle Snuffing out the candles on our next birthday cake Mother Nature, Mother Nature Open yuh eyes n you'll see we're all doomed But we still keep driving around in our cars n choking on the fumes The fishes are floating out on the surface of the lake Every motherfucker grabbing just as much as they can take How much more can Mother Earth take? The icing is melting off the top of the cake Try to clean up but we keep stepping on the rake Smack in the face with the handle Snuffing out the candles on our next birthday cake Mother Nature, Mother Nature People are starving in the droughts n the heat We're cutting down the forests just to make some more meat Leaders politicians businessmen all on the make How much more can poor Mother Earth take? Death rays drop down through the hole in the sky (shit!) Yet still some motherfuckers will try n deny it If you believe their scheming, I know you're dreaming Wake up, listen, you'll hear Mother Earth screaming This is a call out to the wise and the restless Rise up n fight the powers that be that suppress us I think it's about time the motherfuckers addressed this What I wanna know is, just whose fucking mess is this? How much more can poor Mother Earth take? How long until the motherfucker breaks? Someone's been spitting on my next birthday cake So who'll make me another? We only get one mother Mother Nature, Mother Nature

You danced upon the pieces of my broken heart, You treated me just like a toilet. I thought that you were mine and we would never part, Why did you have to go and spoil it? All the tears I cried were just a waste of time, And I know I’ll never cry again. You just washed me out and hung me on the line, And I know I’ll never cry again. I’ll never cry again. You left me feeling so dejected and betrayed When I found out about your lover. You tore out my heart and threw my soul away, Then stayed around to watch me suffer. All the tears I cried were just a waste of time, And I know I’ll never cry again. You just washed me out and hung me on the line, And I know I’ll never cry again. I’ll never cry again. Sometimes I wonder what I saw in you, Now I know your heart is black; When all the time you were deceiving me With someone else behind my back. Last time I saw you girl, I was drinking in the bar, And I knew our love was dead: And, as you kissed your lover underneath the stars, I tipped my beer over your head. All the tears I cried were just a waste of time, And I know I’ll never cry again. You just washed me out, but now I’m feeling fine ‘cos I know I’ll never cry again I’ll never cry again.

Holding tight Together in the night It's gonna be allright We have the strength to fight Together There's a place Hidden deep behind my face That only you can trace With your soft embrace With your soft embrace We can stand against the storm We will rise to meet the dawn And if you call I'll come to you Hold and comfort you And you're coming too Constantly falling for you We can fly Into the starry sky Love takes us up so high Our souls unify Together Just like this Each movement feels like bliss Lost in our loving mist Lips press up to kiss Just like this Can you feel the thunder crashing? Did you see the lightning flashing? And through it all I'll follow you And you'll follow too Love will swallow me and you Constantly falling for you.

Likes her music really loud, always stands out in the crowd She never wears a dress, cos she's different from the rest Hangs round with the older boys, breaks their hearts like they were toys Teachers think that she's a fool, cos she's always skiving school She's a rebel Oh yeah Stays out late every night, sometimes she starts a fight Nevewr says just where she's bin, - in the bar, drinking gin Got a tattoo on her bum that she hasn't shown her mum Parents think that she's gone too far, cos she never wears a bra She's a rebel Oh yeah I want to make her mine, I know that she's the one If I could win her love I know we'd have lots of fun Hangs round with the older boys, - making love, and making noise Parents think that she's gone too far, cos she never wears a bra Got a tattoo on her bum that she hasn't shown her mum She dosen't have any shame, - she's a rebel, she can't be tamed She's a rebel Oh yeah

In this day and age You can find a page for everything In this day and age Take a photograph Send it round the world for a laugh Living in this day and age You can be a star You can drive a car But for how much more? In this day and age Endless staying rage And let's stay enraged Someone turn the page And our hearts will burn with rage Endless staying rage We're gonna fail the test Unrest is all that's left Unless they engage In this dying age In this day and age You can find a sage for everyone And they stay engaged You can have your cake But eat it up before its sell by date Living in this day and age You can breathe the air Until it isn't there Don't say that it's not fair Living in this day and age In this day and age
