No time for slumber This evening will go on Drinks in hand We'll keep going past The break of dawn In praise of Bacchus Salute another morn Our steadfast cry We'll keep drinking past The break of dawn Drinking 'til the break of dawn Drinking 'til the break of... Flames become embers We see a new day born Tribal melodies We keep dancing past The break of dawn United chorus Our voice becoming one Our loud refrain We'll keep singing past The break of dawn I only see The Reader when I'm driving I only see The Rеader by the wall I only see The Rеader when I'm driving I've never seen The Reader At the break of dawn

Speed up the process With your imagination Speed up the process Of your emancipation Ride it like a tidal wave Ride it like a tidal wave Ride it like a tidal wave Ride it like a tide Ride it like a tidal wave! Rally with your tribe To strengthen your community Speed up the process Speed up the process Of cooking a potato... Speed up the process Of cooking a potato

Singularity 02:59
Living in a world, living in a world There's a hole, there's a hole There's a hole in my head Living in a world, living in a world There's a hole in my head Living in a world, living in a world There's a hole, there's a hole There's a hole in my head Living in a world, living in a world There's a hole in my head Across the event horizon Into infinity To see what lies beyond... Across the event horizon Into infinity To see what lies beyond.. The Singularity!

Living in concrete looking for a remedy (Sedation Nation calling) Born into a world that's demanding conformity (Sedation Nation calling) Cradle to the grave, battery farmed slavery (Sedation Nation calling) Living in concrete looking for a remedy (Sedation Nation calling) What a waste! (Fuck you! What a waste!) What a waste! You took my life away What a waste! (Fuck you! What a waste!) Fleeing darkness for the light of day What a waste! (Fuck you! What a waste!) What a waste! You took my life away What a waste! (Fuck you! What a waste!) Flee dark for the light of day Oh! Your word means nothing I've heard it all before! No more! No more! No more! Your word means nothing I've heard it all before! No more! No more! No more! Living is a waste, or live to get wasted? (General anaesthesia) Making sure your mind's deactivated (General anaesthesia) Dreaming of an escape, being liberated (General anaesthesia) Living is a waste, or live to get wasted (I need anaesthesia)

Do you want to drink a magic potion? Would you like...? "A land fit for heroes", that's what they said Where veterans are homeless And fucked in the head They sanction your benefits And leave you for dead Lives are cheaper Than bog roll or bread Discarded syringes litter the park And if you're one of the old It's not safe after dark Hoodies in trackies carry sharp knives And steroid fuelled cokeheads Batter their wives Children drink beer And stand in the rain On a long road to misery Where nothing is gained The Masters have broken The Workers back Now they're on Jobseekers Caning The Smack! Who are you to give me commands? And take away my liberty? The bars of gold have fallowed the land And decimates communities Taking... taking back control! Taking... taking back! Where food-banks are full Because you're earning fuck all You bang your head on bureaucracy's wall Persecute Travellers for living off-grid Stick them in a box and screw down the lid Where your leaders are gangsters And paedophile scum The Pigs turn a blind eye And act fucking dumb Integrity's bought for the price of fame And terrified refugees take the blame Council Tax collectors take your piss-pot The colour of your skin can get you shot The water's poisoned Because they're fracking the land And the Safety Inspector's Got their head in the sand The price of your silence was already sold As you pile up the dog shit They told you was gold A land fit for heroes? They sold you a lie To conscript your youth And send them to die! Rise from the dust! Our freedom is a must! Grab your fellow man! Revolution is the plan Give it everything we can Let's overrule this new world plan! Take away freedoms paid for in blood Demonise poor folk, say they're no good The boot's on your neck And your face's in the mud A land fit for heroes is drowning in blood! Do you want to drink a magic potion? Would you like...?

Zombie, zombie casserole Well that's something I don't wanna know! Zombie, zombie casserole Well that's something I don't wanna know! Free those chickens! Put them outside Get back in your house Free those chickens! Put them outside Get back in th' house Free the lonely chickens! Gotta be something better than that! Free the lonely chickens! There's gotta be something better than that!

What you gonna do? Be a man or a coward? Modern day prophet or talking to a ghost? What you gonna do? Be a man or a coward? Modern day prophet or talking to a ghost? Got an evil head Chauvinistic hellhole Sinful saint Put the gospel on his lips Hey, piggy piggy The cocaine fun Hey, piggy piggy You all better run! Enough! I want more! Enough! I want more! Enough! I want more! Enough! I want more! Smash it all! Start again! Smash it all! Start again! Smash it all! Start again! Smash it all... I've made a bomb So let's go out tonight! Evil bastard! I've made a bomb So let's go out tonight! Evil bastard! That ain't right! That ain't right! Evil bastard!

Racist faces spewing out hatred Poisoned speech bait! Not for me, mate Fascist clashes, burn them to ashes! Smoke and mirrors, blow and shattered Mindless violence aimed at the innocent The streets they violate, a racist mandate Make it sacred, One Love integrated That's all that matters, we won't be scattered! Fathoming my belonging... Beer-bellied bigots doing Nazi salutes Shaved heads, swastikas, toe-capped boots Racist ideology, glorifiеs death Genocidal mind smеlls as bad as your breath EDL, BNP, Nation Front Flag-waving primates who act like cunts Why not follow your leader, you sad Nazi spunk And go blow your fucking head off while inside a bunker?! Fathoming my belonging... Gummy's on her way to Southport (Southport) Getting measured up for some brand new teeth...

Gummy Cat 02:30
First time in fucking ages I seen the gummy cat Can't believe I seen her Running around the streets on her own Was the first time in ages I seen the gummy cat Can't believe I seen her Running around the streets on her own... All alone? All alone! First time in fucking ages I seen the gummy cat Can't believe I seen her Running around the streets on her own Was the first time in ages I seen the gummy cat Can't believe I seen her Running around the streets on her own... All alone? All alone!

Another Day 05:19
Another drink, another smoke Another line of dirty coke Another year pissed away Another dawn, another day Another dusk, another dollar Another life drenched in squalor Another death, another life Another struggle, another strife Another drink, another spliff Another mind fucked, set adrift Another pill, another fuck Another prick run out of luck Another line, another wank Another letter off the bank Another bailiff, another knock Another race against the clock... Never give up! Don't ever give up! Never! Another famine, another war Another psycho keeping score Another stabbing, another shooting Another riot turned to looting Another born, another dies Another mug who bought the lies Another win, another fail Another lie in the Daily Mail Another night, another day Another bid to run away Another life, another time Another bottle of cheap, shit wine... Never give up! Don't ever give up! Never!
