Testo An Option - Conflict
Testo della canzone An Option (Conflict), tratta dall'album There's No Power Without Control
I'd like to make a statement, which is I'm no Saint Samaritan
So here is my confession
Fate, love, couldn't give a fuck about asylum seekers or their welfare
Seeking asylum? You fucking found one
Just what the fuck is going on? Are we at war or not?
In fact, what is war? War against what?
On combat? Fighting for peace? What?!
If I am not being told, war has no restrictions or rules
Why ain't the government closed our borders?
We're waging a war on terror, you fools
One thing I do know for sure, I find beyond belief, disgusting
Is certain groups who rob us, treat and kill
And only crime broadly and far too drastic
Where's the common sense here?
And you mean to say you can't stand the men?
We've had the rally around the empty kilns
Be it the right to run, the creepy guns
The right to never broken
A pointless logic used to show
Don't sense me, come on, play the game
Have a word with yourself
Free speech, freedom, man
Self expression, we ain't all the same
They have the answers but what's the question?
And in fact, who's fucking asking?
Telling, whispering, yelling
I can hear but only I and me
I'm sick and fucking tired
Tell what? I cannot, cannot say
Fucking niggers, cunts, little bastard spits
As that's a start
Are they politically correct? Am I bollocks?
I'm ancient but equal, speak free as I find
I treat only as I am treated
Viewing the world with an everlasting mind
Less, more, wrong, I'm mental, maybe
But there's something more sinister here
Government can never be this stupid
They did from the cave and fear
They created monsters, steering children into submission
Welcoming waves of terror into our back yard
Hiding their gas masks for protection
A demonstration of aggression
Remembrance Day for the living
Who knows for sure? Who knows fuck all?
Fuck 'em, fuck it, fucked up fucking prawns
A calming stillness develops
The quiet before the storm
Time stands still
As I reflect what once was
Wonder what might have been
Then realise what now can never be
Seconds seem like minutes
That feel like hours
Days turn into weeks
I am lost here, alone amongst many
But victory is certain
Lost souls wander, disillusioned
Searching in hope for reason
The sirens sound again and again
In isolation they battle
Weary in defence
Wary of defiance
The walking wounded remove those that have fallen
Facilities for who the better world is no more
A fragile structure that is life itself
Grieving for the irreplaceable
Mother earth mourns peace
Leaders address their nations
Briefing the believing
The slightest glimmer of glory shines through their justification
Blaming, naming, shaming
Me? I am thoroughly ashamed
Please forgive
For I know not the path that I have chosen
I never wanted to kill
And I did not want to die
I am so sorry
A name carved into stone is now all that remains
Remember me, please, always
