"Big A Little A"by Crass originally recorded in 1980.Big A little A bouncing BThe sytem might have got you but it won't get me1 2 3 4Chorus: External control are you gonna let them get you? Do you wanna be a prisorner in the boundaries they set you? You say you want to be yourself By christ do you think they'll let you? The're out to get you get you get you get you get you get youHello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God, can you hear?Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for you down thereOn earth I have ambassadors. archbishop. vicar. popeWe'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope,We're telling you you'b better pray cos you were born in sinRight from the start we'll build a cell and then we'll lock you inWe sit in holy judgement dondemning those that strayWe offer our forgiveness, but first we'll make you payChorusHello. hell. hell, now here's a message from your queenAs figurehead of the status qui I set the social sceneI'm most concerned about my people, I want to give them peaceSo I'm making sure they stay in line with my army and policeMy prisons and my mental homes have ever open doorsFor those amongst my subhects who dare to ask for moreUnrulyness and disrepect are things I can't allowSo I'll see the peasants grovel in they frefuse to bow.ChorusIntroducing the Prime Sinister, she's a mother to us allLike the dtch boy's finger in the dyke her arse is in the wallHolding back the future waiting for the seas to partIf Moses did it with his faith, she;ll do it with an armyWho at times of threatened crisis are certain to be thereGaurding national heritage no matter what or wherePalaces for kings and gueens, amnsions for the richProtection for the walthy, defence of pribigeThey've learnt the ropes in Ireland, engaged in cibil warFighting for the ruling classes in their battle agaisnt the poorGreat Britain? Future? bollocks, you'd better look begindRound every other corner stands P.C. 1984Guardian of the future, he'll implement the lawBig brothers system's always there with his beady eyes on youFrom God to local bobby, in home and street and schoolThey've got you name and number while you've just got their ruleWe've got to look for methods to undermine those powersIt's time to chage the tables. the future must be ours.BE exactly who you want to be, do what you want to doI am he and she is she but you're the only youNo one else has got your eyes, can see the things you seeIt's up to you to change you life and my life's up to meThe problems that you suffer from are problems that you makeThe shit we have to climb through is the shit we choose to takeIf you don't like the life you life, change it now it's yoursNothing has effect if you don't recognise the causeIf the programmes's not the one you want, get up, turn off the setIt's only you that can decide what life you're gonna getIf you don't like religion you can be the antichristIf your tired of politics you can be an anarchistBut no on ever changed the church by pulling down the steepleAnd you'll never change the syustem by bombing number tenSystems just aren't made of bricks they're most made of peopleYou may send then into hiding, but they'll be back againIf you don't like the rules they make, regust to play their gameIf you don't want to be a numver, don't give them your nameIf you don't wnat to be caught out, refuse to hear their questionSilence is a virtue, use it for your own protectionThey'll try to make you play their game,refuse to show your faceBe exactly who you want to be, do what you want to doI am he and she is she but you're the only you
