Key: E major
Verse 1
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 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.

Finding the en trance to your

own front door is barred
G
A
And they've got the fucking nerve
Bb
A
G
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.
The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
DEFENCE? SHIT,
IT'S NOTHING LESS THEN WAR
AND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT
Verse 2
KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT'S FOR.
G
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"

Well whose like? Whose fucking life?

School, army, church, cor poration deal.
A fucking conspiracy to stop
you feeling real.
Well ain't got me, I'd say
their fucking wrong,
I ain't quite ready with my gun,
but I've got my song...
Banned from the Roxy, well O.K.
I never much liked playing
there anyway.
GUNS.
How did you like the song?
