Banned From The Roxy

<br>Banned from the Roxy...Ok<br>I never much liked playing there anyway<br>Said they only wanted well behaved boys<br>Do they think guitars and microphones are just fucking toys?<br>Fuck `em, chosen to make my stand<br>Against what I feel is wrong with this land<br>Just sit there on their overfed arses<br>Feeding off the sweat of less fortunate classes<br>Keep their fucking power cos their finger`s on the button<br>Got control and won`t let it be forgotten<br>Truth of their reality is at the wrong end of a gun<br>Proof of that is Belfast and that`s no fucking fun<br>Seeing the squaddy lying in the front yard<br>Seeing the machine guns resting on the fence<br>Finding the entrance to your own front door is barred<br>Got the fucking nerve to call it defence<br>Seems their defence is a just the threat of strength<br>Protection for the privileged at any length<br>Government protecting their profits from the poor<br>Rich and the fortunate chaining up the door<br>Afraid that the people may ask for a little more<br>Than the shit they get, shit they get, shit they get,<br>Shit they get, shit they get, shit they get,<br>Shit they get, shit they get,<br>DEFENCE? SHIT, IT`S NOTHING LESS THAN WAR<br>AND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT`S FOR<br>Oh yes they say it`s defence, say it`s decency<br>Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean?<br>Same fucking lies with depressing frequency<br>They say "We had to do it to keep our lives clean"<br>Whose life? Whose fucking life?<br>Who the fuck are they talking to?<br>Whose life? Whose fucking life?<br>I`ll tell you one thing, it ain`t me and you<br>And their systems, christ, they`re everywhere<br>School, army, church, the corporation deal<br>Fucked up reality based on fear<br>Fucking conspiracy to stop you feeling real<br>Well they ain`t got me,<br>I`d say they`re fucking wrong<br>I ain`t quite ready with my gun<br>But I`ve got me song<br>Banned from the Roxy, Ok<br>Never much like playing there anyways<br>GUNS
