Artist Discography

Blade:
I don't understand the reason why
The government is gettin' away with murder, in '93 I heard a
Rumour spreadin', people they were dreadin'
To put up a fist and resist, I ain't forgettin'
How many people live in poverty? That's what I'm askin'
In the corner I see the rat skin
Dead they're messin' with your head
Who can we blame but the council and the government ?
Corrupt and bent, nobody's friend
No money for the bills, no money to pay the rent
But do they wanna comprehend
I don't think they ever will, so we're stuck with it till the end
What can we do?
Where can we go?
How long can we take it?

Fuck the government (repeat)

Never knowin' which way to turn
And what they wanna teach ain't necessarily what we wanna learn
They're keepin' secrets from the people, so I say to the people
Let 'em know that we ain't feeble
I hate the government, never liked the government
Fuck the government, I can't stand the government
How they wanna keep you in the slum, treat you like you're dumb
Majority, it's time to get some
Major, you're not a major, you're a minor
Old timer, puppet on a string, I'm a
Perfect example of a citizen livin' on the social benefit
How can I benefit
When all I'm livin' is on the edge
I got to borrow to keep me goin' strong for tomorrow
We're the victims of the government's evil ways
Maybe it's time for a change
In order to get a better carin' system

(2nd March 1993)
