Crass - Berkertex Bribe Lyrics
Berkertex bride or Berkertex bribe?The object unsoiled is packed ready and waitingFor the moment of truth in this spiritual matingThe object unsoiled is packed ready and waitingTo be owned, cherished, to be *****ed for the namingThe public are shocked by the state of societyBut as for you, you're a breath of purityWell don't give me your morals, they're filth in my eyesYou can pack them away with the rest of your liesThe painted mask of ugly perfectionthe ring on your finger, the sign of protectionIs the rape on page 3, is the soldiers obsessionHow well you've been caught to support your oppressionOne god. One church. One husband. One wife.Sordid sequences in brilliant lifeSupports and props and punctuationTo our flowing realities and realisationsWe're talking with words that have been used beforeTo describe us as goddesses, mothers and whoresTo describe us as women, to describe us as menTo set out the rules of the ludicrous gameAnd it's played ver carefully, a delicate balanceA masculine/feminine perfect allianceDoes the winner take all? What love in your grasping?What vision is left and is anyone asking?What vision is left and is anyone asking?She's a berkertex bride. Bride. Bribe
