Icons of Filth

Enough Is Enough

Authority clamps down on us all like a chainsaw

Some get severed and some get cut

Who really gives a shit if it's 1984?

Thinks got too bad years ago and getting bad some more

You can't fool me. Get stuffed. Enough is enough

Are you too thick to understand

That things have gotten way out of hand?

At this rate it won't be too long

Governments cons go on and on and on

It's getting so bad now, can't hardly move

Forget all your troubles and get in the groove

Dance the night away, who cares anyway

This sort of pathetic negativity goes on and on and on

How intense have things got to get

Before you can see that all is set?

Will you wait til Britain's great dirty cruise missiles

have already traveled many miles?

Things are gonna get tough, enough is enough

Boys now decide what happens over here

Britain is now the 53rd American state

A nuclear powered launch pad, prefixed "Great"

A country run by ageing egoistic politician fucks

Smashing disagreeing mouths with military rifle butts

Numbing liberated brains with policeman's truncheons

"Shut your fucking face...the state must function"

So much for Thatcher's Victorian values

Vicious brutality, oppress and abuse

They piss and shit on anything they don't like

You can say that I'm wrong but I know that I'm right

The whole world over is in such a fucking mess

Money is the main thing so sod all the rest

Big business multinationals are screwing the world

Draining every penny and last drops of blood out of

peoples in poor nations

The Coca Cola blood acting in accordance with the

latest stocks and shares

Businessmen, boss men, seeking. Just don't care

They've detached themselves from the reality we all

have to bear

All they've ever done is conned us to the hilt

Made us slave in their factories, the factories we have

built

And the products that we've grafted so hard to make

We have to buy back to make great the state

Sometimes I wonder how they continually get away with

it

Maybe we're really content to wallow in the shit

Fuck all consequence, the state must still function

Maybe we deserve this shit and maybe we don't

Maybe the world will blow and maybe it won't

But one thing I do know is that enough is enough

But how many of our number are prepared to stand up?

Can we offer an alternative to killing the earth?

We can only but try , we can't do no worse

Enough is enough.

Yeah, enough is enough

Now how many of our number are prepared to stand up?

Cut
