Youre working for your government it's always the same
The government are the masters we are their fucking slaves
"Nowhere to Go"
Living in a city full of urban decay
All you see around all that you say
Living in a city full of dust and shit

You vote them in,
it's your fault.
They tru to run the
country but they don't.
They tell you all their lies
Cause they know that your blind.
Government's to blame
It's always the same.
Now you realize your mistake.
And now you want to have a break.
But there's nothing you can do
You fucked it up for me and you.
Petrol and inflation has gone up now
What can we do to bring it back down.
there is nothing that we can do
You fucked it up for me and you.
Tell Us What We All Wanna Hear"
Fill us with your corruption and you lies still you wonder why you're so
despised
Why don't you just tell us what we all wanna hear
Why don't you just tell us what we all wanna hear
Brought this country down was that your aim

Fill us with your corruption and you lies still you wonder why you're so
despised
"Don't Wanna Be A Victim"
Don't wanna be a victim of society's oppression
Don't wanna be a victim of a national depressioin
Don't wanna be a victim of a life you can't go on
Don't wanna be a victim 'cause you got it wrong
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna be a victim
Don't wanna play the starring role in your sad obsession
Don't wanna play the starring role in your depression
Don't wanna play the starring role do what you like
Don't wanna play the starring role do what you like
"What The Hell Do You Know"
So you say we sound like a vacuum cleaner
And you say we don't go with dinner
And you say we can't keep a beat
And you say you can't tap your feet
Oh yea what the hell do you know
Oh yea at least at least at least we're trying
You're always there trying to put me down
You're always there trying to push me around
We'll I'm just gonna warn you
We'll soon be back to get you
Murder ( 1996 )
"Murder"
Shot down in churches shops and bars
Fighting for peace with bobby trapped cars
No matter what they say
Its still fucking murder
You pull the trigger blood on your hands
Brother kills brother and man kills man
"Hatred"
Beliefs passed down generation of ignorance and lies
Open your closed mind you'll be surprised what you may find
Fear Hatred Lies
You decide
There's good and bad in all people every color country and creed
Don't accept the indoctrination don't believe what they perceive
Fill your head with hatred reject their fear and despise
What side of the fence do you stand on its time to decide
"Endless Destruction Line"
Running through the streets trying to evade
Weapons of destruction that will put them in their grave
Endless destruction line
The stench of rotting corpses decaying where they fall
Men women children die where they fall
Another bomb explosion another charred remains
A gunshot opens fire another victim slain
One more child orphaned left to struggle to survive
Another wife widowed she has no reason why
"Fake"
Promise lots they were broken insipid tactics lies spoken
Made us think you really cared feed on money which isn't spared
Fake
Still you try to reiterate fools still cant hear cant change your fate
Out country with a ruined future if you take part in being a ruler
"Genocide"
Suns going down on the human race
Mad dog of war has raised its ugly face
death and destruction is all around
Human corpses litter the ground
genocide
Women and children deaf and the blind
Total destruction of all mankind
Cravings of a lunatic make more sense to me
Than all the world leaders and their war policies
"Fuck You Up"
Well cut you down to size you scum of the earth
we lay you down the rules you must observe
we tell you how it is you watch and learn
legal rights gone don't be absurd
your life in their hands they'll fuck it up
open your mouth and they'll shut you up
so get a new suit and comb your hair
smarten up you know its not fair
fuck up the interview you'll be in trouble
well cut you of your benefits and watch you struggle
Take any job no matter how shit
You don't have the right to disagree with it
if it ain't for you than that's tough
if you don't agree they'll fuck you up
"Humanity"
broken faces broken bones
attack on those that are alone
the face of humanity
community spirit up in flames
will it ever be the same
one step forward two steps back
are you gonna run with the pack?
all around see disgrace
has this become humanity's face
"Target Of Shame"
another explosion terrorist game
innocent victim I don't understand
Attack the wrong people target of shame
You cowardly bastard fear is your game
Another device explodes in your face
Another life cant be replaced
City ruin a village in mourn
helpless child a mother cries
Body count rising wreckage remains
Fanatical vengeance no fear no shame
"Nightmare Vision"
here lies our earth its dead in torment
the cancers been caused by our abuse
battlefields computer board games
corporation drown out our cries
men in suits slaughter thousands
sign a check so many die
as parasites that crawled upon her
who tied the knot that fixed the noose
roulettes the game that we are playing
more happy news reports another slaying
So many lives so many cultures
so many poor in every race
How Do You Sleep ? ( 2001 )
"How Do You Sleep?"
Humanitarian crisis, I've seen it on TV
Looking for handouts, looking straight at me
No feelings, no grief, no sense
How do you sleep
I really wonder sometimes with no pennies for the poor
Where they find the millions for senseless fucking war
"Gun Crazed Kids"
Heard about the craze of the new school days
Take along a gun blow people away
Three plus one that makes four
Now education ain't such a bore
Gun crazed kids twisted fucked up gun crazed kids
Go to school with hate filled eyes
Destruction of life in their minds
Don't need to learn to read and write
Got their career right in their sights
Gun crazed kids twisted fucked up gun crazed kids
Never again get called a jerk
Take revenge it's gonna fucking hurt
Pull the trigger theree plus one
See their maths ain't so fucking wrong
You're given the right to bear arms
When things fuck up sound the alarm
Make up your minds right or wrong
Who takes the blame now the deed is done
THE VARUKERS LYRICS
"Bleed Us Dry"
Inner city deprivation welfare system erodes away
Reduction of life's facilities and still you want us to pay
You bleed us fucking dry
Desperation of the people trying to keep above the line
The more you take the less you give now that ain't fucking right
You bleed us fucking dry
The harder you work the less that you get
What seems the fucking point when you're working up a sweat
You bleed us fucking dry
Try to keep us all in line work hard and obey bleed us of our life line
hard work and low pay
"Modem For Destruction"
Goose stepping around your bedroom with your jack boots on
Paint on moustache with the internet logged on
On line for genocide
Down loading files of hate
A modem for destruction
In a virtual fascist state
Surf the net for zyklom B
In a web site fatherland
New order of the microship
Final solution now at hand
On line for genocide
Down loading files of hate
A modem for destruction
In a virtual fascist state
Are you funding the fourth Reich or making someone rich
Click for ethnic cleansing
Click for take the piss
"Memo For Me"
Have you come for a good time
Or to bring everybody down
Serial profit of doom
Pathetic drunken clown
Full of jealousy and full of hate
Blame all your problems on the welfare state do us all a favour
And change your life sort it out
Now or use a fucking knife
I have problems or my own
Without taking all of yours
Excuse me while I take a piss
And sneak out of the door
Where is your god
Herded like cattle looked on as swine
Now that you've reached the end of the line
Where is your god
Thrown out of your home land, engaged in civil war
The persecution of minorities all sadly seen before
Where is your god
Cancer eats at you, a plague on mankind
Child taken from you, struck down from behind
"As Good As It Gets"
I'm feeling good I'm feeling bad
I'm feeling happy I'm feeling sad
Ain't got no life of my own
It's getting worse I'm out of control
My aching fucking limbs won't lift me from my bed
Today I feel so good tomorrow I'll wake up dead
No use in what you say won't listen anyway
I just need to feel alright tonight
I'm a substance abuser I'm always in debt
Amphetamine loser as good as it gets
I'm taking the punishment for committing the crime
Forever obsessed with a blinding white line
No restrictions
Live your own life in the way you see fit
Don't have to listen to any one's shit
Do what you want as you please
That's what punk rock is to me
No restrictions no rules
No regulations no law
No restrictions no rules
No regulations you fools
Make your own choice you're no one's fool
Adhere to a doctrine and scream no rules
Heard that shit many times before
No one lives by an unwritten law
No restrictions no rules
No regulations no law
No restrictions no rules
No regulations you fools
Allegiance to none is no fucking crime
My decision comes from my mind
With my mouth I scream and shout
That's what the Varukers is all about
"Under Attack"
You sit in moral judgement of who and what I am
You dictate the standing in my life that controls are in your hand
Under attack
You want to break the welfare chain this cross upon your back
Any sense of obligation is exactly what you lack
Under attack
Another statistic off your list, another number down in file
More faceless factory fodder
For the work force you compile
Under attack
Baton down the hatches and tighten up the screw
Reduction of the benefit with no effect on you
"Absolution"
You follow the rules
He spews out the lies
You kneel on the floor
Priest stands on high
Reject their lies, absolution
You confess all your sins
He prays for your soul
You beg for forgiveness
Now he has control
Reject their lies, absolution
You're living in fear
Of the stories he tells
Forever in heaven
Or forever in hell
Reject their lies, absolution
Try living you life
Stop living in fear
I'll have no home
In the heaven you create
"Piss Off (I've Paid)"
Work my bollocks off to earn my pay
Your greedy hands wanna take it away
Tax on your wages and the clothes you wear
on the food you eat, it just ain't fair
Piss off I've paid
Let's see how much we get
Let's wring the fuckers by the neck
We'll hang them up bleed them dry
There'll be another next in line
Piss off I've paid
Squeeze my veins can't give no more
They ain't sorry they made you so poor
Pile on the interest when you're in debt
Impossible targets can't be met
Piss off I've paid
You rip me off you treat me like a fucking cunt
You bunch of fucking arseholes
Do i look fucking loaded
You're having a fucking laugh
"Die"
I would love to meet you, meet you by myself
So i can be released from my living hell
The anger that I feel inside will never go away
Until I see you die
My selfish revenge yes it will make me feel good
So I can live my life again, live it to the full
The anger that I feel inside will never go away
Until I see you die
I want to see you suffer pain that you've never felt
I want to see the knife as I stick it in your throat
The anger that I feel inside will never go away
Until I see you die
I'd like to see you hanging, swinging from a rope
You had no right to do what you did, I hope you fucking choke
Vintage Varukers - Rare and Unreleased
1980-1985 (2001)
"Punk Ain't Dead"
All this music's gone to my head.
The old man shouts get out of bed.
You know something son, Punk ain't dead.
Punk ain't dead, Punk ain't dead.
Someone said Punk is dead.
Bring him here and we'll smash his head.
People thought that we'd gone away.
But we're here and we're here to stay.
Last night i was in a club.
Saw a band called the UK Subs.
Next on was the fucking Damned.
Fucking hell, the place was crammed.
Don't believe what the papers say.
They all reckon we've gone away.
Why don't they open up their eyes.
See they're writing lies, lies, lies
"Government's to Blame"
You vote them in,
it's your fault.
They tru to run the
country but they don't.
They tell you all their lies
Cause they know that your blind.
Government's to blame
It's always the same.
Now you realize your mistake.
And now you want to have a break.
But there's nothing you can do
You fucked it up for me and you.
Petrol and inflation has gone up now
What can we do to bring it back down.
there is nothing that we can do
You fucked it up for me and you.
"Varuker"
I don't care what you say
You don't know fuck all anyway
You only like the fucking Clash
They're only in it for the cash.
Varuker, Varuker.
In the UK, OK.
Those old wankers sold out
We will never sell out
Those old wankers sold out.
We will never sell out.
"No Education"
School was a fucking drag
Taking orders from a fucking old bag
We all knew she was on the rag
Wha a fucking old bag
We don't need no education
You can stick it up your arsehole
I never learned a fucking thing
I only waited for the bell to ring
None of the teachers liked me
They said don't ask for pity
They day I left the place
They said "you're a real disgrace"
Before they said anything else
I said watch out mate or else
"Never Again"
Did they ask you?
They never listen to you
Never listen to your point of view
Never asked if I want the bomb
Gonna die because of the bomb
What about Hiroshima?
Will it ever happen again
never asked me if I want the bomb
Gonna die because of the bomb.
"Good Time Girls"
Standing on the corner
waiting for their pay
Standing on the corner
Waiting for a lay
Standing under the red light
See them all around
Stading under the red light
Do anything for a pound
See them on the corner
Waiting for their pay
See the on the corner
waiting for a lay
"Dance 'Till You're Dead"
Dance, Dance 'till you're dead
Dance, Dance 'till you're dead
Dance, Dance 'till you're dead
Dance 'till you're dead
Music drives you crazy
You're gonna blow your mind
Still you've gotta dance
You've gotta keep in time
Dance, Dance 'till you're dead
Now you realize you can't keep on
Now you realize there's something wrong
"United We Stand"
We gotta stand together
Gotta unite and fight
We've gotta stand together
Stand for what is right
United we stand
Divided we fall
We've gotta fight together
Stand up for what is right
We've gotta stand together
Fight, fight, fight, fight
We've gotta stand together
We've gotta unite and fight
We've gotta stand together
Stand up for what is right
Other Songs:
"All Systems Fail"
You try to fight the system
But it's to no avail
All taht the systems doing
You could only fail
All, All, All systems fail, systems fail.
Now that the system is falling to pieces,
Now that the system's failed no more deceiving
"Another Religion, Another War"
Another religion, another war-
They're fighting out in lebanon
I really don't know why
Tanks are rolling in israel
jets have hit the sky
another religion, another war
they're bombing people in their houses
theyre being blown to bits
shoot them in the streets
die for a myth
"Die For Your Government"
They're the ones to declare the war
We're the ones die for the cause
They pull the trigger on the gun
We die they have fun.
Die for your governments convenience.
The government are safe they're underground
Don't care about the bodies lying around
They don't care who they kill
Just as long as they get their thrill.
Die for your governments convenience. |
