Crass - Upright Citizen Lyrics
You have this life, what for? Tell meSpend it on shit, your ignorance appals meYou serve me your morals, changed for a fiverUpright citizen, Penthouse subscriberYou won't print the word, but you'll beat up the wifeIn your ignorant, arrogant, terminal lifeYou have this life, you deprive me of mineWith your twisted, imbalanced idea of sinThat revolves around money; how much are you bought for?A tenner, a fiver, is that what you're caught for?I'm sick of your pride, you think you can rule meWith crappy judgement from your respectable majorityMajority of what? You self oppressed idiotI'm not going to carry you, I'm no compatriotHow many times do I excuse and forgiveThe damage inflicted by the way that you live?I hold my vision against your oppressionYour final defence, your only possessionI'll show you the blood, but you'll still point the gunIf the money's enough, or can you show you're a man?To your submissive wife, desperate whoreHome loving, mothering, stifling boreYou have this life, you twist and abuse itMorals and money and media controls itCan't you see the dead children, blood in the street?Every fist that you raise is a corpse at your feetEvery time you are bought, I don't care the amountYou are the rapist, dealing in death countAnd you do this with mercenary morals, you shitOh, you've been told about dignity down in the pitRespectable working man, honourable wife?A waste of energy and an insult to life
