Big A, little A, bouncing B
2
The system might have got you but it won't get me
3
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
4
External control are you gonna let them get you?
5
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
6
You say you want to ba yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
7
They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you
8
Hello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God, can you hear?
9
Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for you down there
10
On earth I have ambassadors, archbishop, vicar, pope
11
We'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope,
12
We're telling you you'd better pray cos you were born in sin
13
Right from the start we'll build a cell and then we'll lock you in
14
We sit in holy judgement condemning those that stray
15
We offer our forgiveness, but first we'll make you pay
16
External control are you gonna let them get you?
17
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
18
You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
19
They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you
20
Hello, hello, hello, now here's a massage from your queen
21
As figurehead of the status quo I set the social scene
22
I'm most concerned about my people, I want to give them peace
23
So I'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police
24
My prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors
25
For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more
26
Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't allow
27
So I'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow
28
External control are you gonna let them get you?
29
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
30
You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
31
They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you
32
Introducing the Prime Sinister, she's a mother to us all
33
Like the dutch boy's finger in the dyke her arse is in the wall
34
Holding back the future waiting for the seas to part
35
If Moses did it with is faith, she'll do it with an army
36
Who at times of threatened crisis are certain to be there
37
Guarding national heritage no matter what or where
38
Palaces for kings and queens, mansions for the rich
39
Protection for the wealthy, defence of privilege
40
They've learnt the ropes In Ireland, engaged in civil war
41
Fighting for the ruling classes in their battle against the poor
42
So Ireland's just an island? It's an island of the mind
43
Great Britain? Future? Bollocks, you'd better look behind
44
Round every other corner stands P.C. 1984
45
Guardian of the future, he'll implement the law
46
He's there as a grim reminder that no matter what you do
47
Big brothers system's always there with his beady eyes on you
48
From God to local bobby, in home and street and school
49
They've got your name and number while you've just got their rule
50
We've got to look for methods to undermine those powers
51
It's time to change the tables. The future must be ours
52
Big A, little A, bouncing B
53
The system might have got you but it won't get me
54
Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
55
I am he and she is she but you're the only you
56
No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see
57
It's up to you to change your life and my life's up to me
58
The problems that you suffer from are problems that you make
59
The shit we have to climb through is the shit we choose to take
60
If you don't like the life you live, change it now it's yours
61
Nothing has effects if you don't recognise the cause
62
If the programme's not the one you want, get up, turn off the set
63
It's only you that can decide what life you're gonna get
64
If you don't like religion you can be the antichrist
65
If your tired of politics you can be an anarchist
66
But no one ever changed the church by pulling down a steeple
67
And you'll never change the system by bombing number ten
68
Systems just aren't made of bricks they're mostly made of people
69
You may send them into hiding, but they'll be back again
70
If you don't like the rules they make, refuse to play their game
71
If you don't want to be a number, don't give them your name
72
If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to hear their question
73
Silence is a virtue, use it for your own protection
74
They'll try to make you play their game, refuse to show your face
75
If you don't want to be beaten down, refuse to join their race
76
Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
77
I am he and she is she but you're they only you
