Crass - Banned From The Roxy Lyrics
Banned from the Roxy...OkI never much liked playing there anywaySaid they only wanted well behaved boysDo they think guitars and microphones are just *****ing toys?***** 'em, chosen to make my standAgainst what I feel is wrong with this landJust sit there on their overfed arsesFeeding off the sweat of less fortunate classesKeep their *****ing power cos their finger's on the buttonGot control and won't let it be forgottenTruth of their reality is at the wrong end of a gunProof of that is Belfast and that's no *****ing funSeeing the squaddy lying in the front yardSeeing the machine guns resting on the fenceFinding the entrance to your own front door is barredGot the *****ing nerve to call it defenceSeems their defence is a just the threat of strengthProtection for the privileged at any lengthGovernment protecting their profits from the poorRich and the fortunate chaining up the doorAfraid that the people may ask for a little moreThan the shit they get, shit they get, shit they get,Shit they get, shit they get, shit they get,Shit they get, shit they get,DEFENCE? SHIT, IT'S NOTHING LESS THAN WARAND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT THE ***** IT'S FOROh yes they say it's defence, say it's decencyMai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean?Same *****ing lies with depressing frequencyThey say "We had to do it to keep our lives clean"Whose life? Whose *****ing life?Who the ***** are they talking to?Whose life? Whose *****ing life?I'll tell you one thing, it ain't me and youAnd their systems, christ, they're everywhereSchool, army, church, the corporation deal*****ed up reality based on fear*****ing conspiracy to stop you feeling realWell they ain't got me,I'd say they're *****ing wrongI ain't quite ready with my gunBut I've got me songBanned from the Roxy, OkNever much like playing there anywaysGUNS
