Centuries remain the same
Victory is choosing who to blame
Whoever kills the most gets to do it again
History Erodes But Love Remains
Don't want to be Genghis Khan
Don't want to be Napoleon
Don't want to be the pride of the Pentagon
If you want to be a man
Gandhi is the only man to be

The Greatest Things
03:01

The deserts will turn to glass
Law and justice will prevail
Have a spare to save the footage
The relief in success for democracy
People are stupid hysterical fools
Demand and applaud and consume
Destroy all the heretics talking us down
We'll create the greatest thing
The cities recede to ash
Rivers swell with flesh and shale
Have a spare to save the footage
The relief in success for democracy
People are stupid hysterical fools
Demand and applaud and consume
Destroy all the heretics talking us down
We'll create the greatest thing
We only humour you because you're so dangerous
People are stupid hysterical fools
Demand and applaud and consume
Destroy all the heretics talking us down
We'll create the greatest thing

Always A Risk

Visit the school suit; measure up the cannon fodder
Bolster up the coffers grabbing funds for all their funeral banners
"We made what's gonna kill 'em"
They get the job done right but make sure that no-one films them
Sell all the weapons to the lunatics and rapists
We're an island we're safe...What? You think they can take us?
Get yourself some loyalty boy get some priorty boy
You think you're too good to die for your hometown?
Gonna make you care if you don't
Gonna make you proud you're a grunt
With all the taxes your folks paid
Buying all your guns and your helmet that'll definitely stop the bomb
There's always a risk
Prosthelise and evangelise
But no amount of faith can ever make you wise
Don't knock what you haven't tried
You can't contemplate truth until your head's untied
Almost certainly all the cautiousness lost
Hold on
Need to find out how much it costs
Don't count what you can't get don't expect
All that waiting makes for nothing but regret
Close the gap closer than that
Disclose what rose recommend a larger dose
Keep what flows in the protest
Next step morose and glows for effect
In the smoke that arose when the scandalous
Kept us afloat in our various poses
We kept on our toes and clambered closer
Docile and obese with cerise walls
And a love of stickshift
Thrift and generosity deserving case
Joking and boasts
Make the most and store the coasters
Gonna need more than food at your funeral
Cool the car we'll let it fly
Flattened and scattered full of the stolen and the pyrophobic
Nebulas of stress with gravity recessed
Not in the misery but what shivers as it toasts
Blades and chains nothing doing nothing close no plan but God still laughs
There's less now kill 'em quick
There's less now kill 'em quick
There's less now kill 'em quick
There's always a risk
There's always a risk
To record brainwaves subjects must be motionless
There's always a risk
To record brainwaves subjects must be motionless
It's grey to the touch
That's no way to dance
That's no way to talk
That's no way to eat
That's no way to stop
That's no way to breathe
Asking questions of what it's for
Banged around and still kicking
Heels hurting doesn't matter what you think you thought
or what you thought you might have been sure of
Flattered and scattered always opining for what you were
Stays with
Never wears off
There's always a risk

What You Want And Why
07:16
|

You're living in the fattest country in the world
So what have you got to worry about?
You're the sick man, the whipping boy, the freak
So what have you got to worry about?
Hold the world to ransom
Hiding behind its so obscene
There is no almost no maybe no inbetween
There is no victory until unstinting respect
So obscene
Under someone's agenda
Until something's askew
Ultimate simple answer
Until something's anew
Take a look at what you want and why you want it
You're living in the dullest country in the world
So what have you got to worry about?
You're the tiniest, the pitiful, the tease
So what have you got to worry about?
Hold the world to ransom
Throwing your weight so obscene
There is no almost no maybe no inbetween
There is no victory until unstinting respect
So obscene
Under someone's agenda
Until something's askew
Ultimate simple answer
Until something's anew
Take a look at what you want and why you want it
Take a look at what you want
Take a look at what you want and why you want it
