Subhumans - From The Cradle To The Grave Lyrics

Font:

Align:

they took you from you mother's womb

and put you in a school

told you how to run your life by following the rules

told you not to pick your nose or disrespect the queen

scrub your teeth three times a day keep your mind and body clean

save all your pocket money nothing is for free

and you'd better trust your parents cos there's no one else you see

and when they send you off each day remember what your told

"you may think you don't need teaching but you'll need it when your old"

and if your too intelligent they'll cut you down to size

they'll praise you til you're happy then they'll fill you full of lies

cos intelligence is threatening and genius is in

if you could ever see through them they know they'd never win

so they channel your ability into the right direction

if you're good enough and rich enough you can be a politician

on the other hand

if you're too think

they'll tell you that your lazy

they'll put you down

and wind you up

until it drives you crazy

they'll say you ought to learn a

trade to help you in your

life success is written

in three parts a job a

house a wife they'll say that

school prepares you for the

awesome world outside well

it certainly gives you

bigotry

and a patriotic pride

racism sexism teacher to class

from school to work remain the same are you white and middle class?

you'll learn that bad men dress in

black and good men dress in

white and the pamphlets in the

playground say that's right and the

girls were made for housework

boys were made to fight and

naughty pictures on page 3

make everything alright

from school to the outside world these morals you will take

and unless you can reject them you'll have your mind at stake

they'll give you a decision when you get to 18 too

the right to vote for someone else who says he cares for you

but the only thing he cares about is getting to the top

by conning you with empty words that promise you a lot

but the end result is slavery to a false set of ideals

you'll be tempted to believe them cos they'll seem so very real

the slavery of attitudes that make you keep in line

subconsciously devoted to the morals of our time

and when you end up on the dole

which you very likely will

they'll offer you a brand new trade

learning how to kill

why don't you join the army?

be a man and not a fool

theres someone else to think for you

just like there was at school

they'll promise you absolution from the murders you'll commmit

in the name of god and country they can get away with it

they fill you full of orders

and promise you rewards

like busting up your family

by sending you abroad

a holiday in germany

or iceland or hong kong

making money being useless

well it seems it can't go wrong

but then its off to northern ireland

where you'll practice what they preached

you'll shoot to keep yourself alive

and you'll kill to keep the peace

and then it wont be so much fun

as you hear the wounded crying

before, they couldnt speak english,

and you didnt know what they were saying

but when the children call you "bastard"

it will make you think again

when you cannot tell the difference

between animals and men

animals don't wear uniforms

but they kill as much as you

but the army kills for money

and animals kill for food

its the basest degradation

in the name of what is right

become something you never were

and regret it till you die

cause your father will tell you "sonny

you must do as you are told"

and you'll say the same thing to your kids

when your 32 years old

and unless you can react against

the brainwash from the start

your government will rule your mind

and your mind will rule your heart

you'll conform to every social law

and be the system's slave

from birth

to school

to work

to death

from the cradle to the grave
