Subhumans - Worlds Apart lyrics

Ignorance and innocence go together

Peace and harmony flowers and trees

Your peace of mind only comes in pints

There are other worlds apart from these

A world where war and poverty

Exist as a reality

Back in the public factory

So cliche's and disorderly

They wash down fears with crocodile beers

False illusion and big man jeers:

"Well I didn't know about Afghanistan

Cos I'm a home loving working man

And I'd know I'd resist if I had to fight

I know I'd resist - exist - resist - with a fist"

Violence, no! That is no answer

Two wrongs don't make a right

But a thousand wrongs make the human race

Conditioned so they fight

Hence the reason hence the shouting

From the start it seemed so real

Anti-war and bombs and fighting

Telling someone what we feel

A world of strength and clarity

The alternative reality

But creating a new lifestyle

Could never come to much

Everyone had the ideas

But no-one had the guts

Then they dropped their goddamn bomb

Just like we'd predicted

Just like we wrote the songs about

Just like the words we'd stand and shout

We don't know half

Of anything real

We don't even know

How we should feel

When questioned or cornered

We back off and squeal

So where is this solution?

This evasive dream conclusion?

Where's the end to this pollution?

Or is peace just an illusion?

After all we're only human

("We're only human" is our excuse to say

We're not in control over our actions

Preferring to blame some "natural

Process" for our own self-indulgence

In personal gain)

You can point your finger

And redirect the blame

But just as you're blaming someone else

They doing just the same

So think before you drink your life away

Think about what you may have to say

React! - convincingly -

To that with which you disagree
