Banned from the Roxy (Remastered)

歌詞

Banned from the Roxy... OK I never much liked playing there, anyway They said they only wanted well-behaved boys Do they think guitars and microphones are just fucking toys? Fuck 'em, I've chosen to make my stand Against what I feel is wrong with this land They just sit there on their overfed arses Feeding off the sweat of less fortunate classes They keep their fucking power, 'cause their finger's on the button They've got control, and won't let it be forgotten The truth of their reality is at the wrong end of a gun The proof of that is Belfast, and that's no fucking fun Seeing the squaddy lying in the front yard Seeing the machine guns resting on the fence Finding the entrance to your own front door is barred They've got the fucking nerve to call it defence Seems their defence is just the threat of strength Protection for the privileged at any length The government protecting their profits from the poor The rich and the fortunate chaining up the door Afraid that the people may ask for a little more Than the shit they get, shit they get, shit they get, Shit they get, shit they get, shit they get, Shit they get, shit they get DEFENCE? SHIT, IT'S NOTHING LESS THAN WAR AND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT'S FOR Oh yes, they say it's defence, they say it's decency Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean? The same fucking lies with depressing frequency They say "We had to do it to keep our lives clean" Whose life? Whose fucking life? Who the fuck are they talking to? Whose life? Whose fucking life? I'll tell you one thing, it ain't me and you And their systems? Christ, they're everywhere School, army, church, the corporation deal Fucked up reality based on fear Fucking conspiracy to stop you feeling real Well, they ain't got me I'd say they're fucking wrong I ain't quite ready with my gun But I've got me song Banned from the Roxy... OK I never much liked playing there, anyway GUNS
