Well I do exactly what I want
Even if you think it’s right or not
You can do just as you please
Because I don’t care it don’t phase me
Well I’m not perfect of that I’m sure
I’m not wasting my time no more
I don’t mind won’t tell you what to do
The world we live in it has control of you
So I do what I want when I want to
You can try but I won’t listen to you
You can beat me ’til I’m black and blue
But I’ll still do what I want when I want to
You're not livin' you’re all just slaves
To the dollar sign break your backs all day
Don’t you want a little more
There’s a big wide world for you to explore
9 to 5 has a purpose I guess
Gotta pay your bills and pay your rent
But I don’t wanna waste my life
Making money for some other guy

Probably would of got away with it
But you crashed your daddy’s car
It don’t matter he’ll buy you a new one
'Coz your daddy’s above the law
I’m sure he can pull a few strings
And find you an alibi
Call in the sheep and call in the pigs
Send them all to the barn early tonight
So where were you and where were you
When the money went missing that night
Were you at home were you alone
Were you the brain orchestrating from the inside
How you felling are you scared
Are you worried about what’s going to happen next
It’s too late your times up
And I’m sorry you’re out of luck
'Coz your daddy’s above the law
Your daddy’s above the law
He gives to the rich and he takes from the poor
It was an inside job but they never saw him coming
The gun wasn’t loaded but it didn’t stop them running
And it’s a shame to blame the ones with no money
If you look a little closer you’ll see something pretty funny
The rich get richer the poor struggle to survive
Don’t need masks or guns to rob us if we’re blind
You’re taking their poison straight into your mind
But no one cares watching desperate house wives

Last Night
03:15
|

When I wake up on Sunday morning
My head is pounding and I’m still yawning
But now I’ve got to go
I’ve got to go to the park
I can go and kick the ball
But I’m not getting into it at all
'Coz I just want
Just want to be sick
But last night
It was so much fun
We went out with money
But I’ve come home with none
Last night
It was great
But let me tell you one thing
Life is one big struggle today
I check my phone no battery
Well that’s alright nobody calls me
And I guess I’ll meet you all
At the pub
Walk up to you at the bar
You just smile and you start to laugh
'Coz you can’t remember
A fucking thing

Babylon
03:36

Babylon is not for me
Let’s just burn it down
Babylon is not for me let’s just burn it down
Take me away to a far away place to a tropical seaside town
With beaches and sunsets palm trees and sea no big muscles and no reality TV
Just some friends good times and my family
Let’s just burn it down
All of the heart all of the head all of the stars and all of the lead
All the suggestions all of the answers all of the braindead and all of the conscious
All that have died all that have rose all of the fallen and all the alone
All of the lifelines all of the dead we’re all struggling through while you run ahead

You Be You
03:47
|

|
It really doesn’t matter does it
We’re all dead anyway
We sold our souls to the telephone
And now it’s all a bit too late
And I guess they got what they wanted
And now the end is near
There’s no time to cry so run for your life
Before those men in suits appear
Your money it don’t mean a thing to me
How will they buy all those fancy things
And no your love it’s not for me
So you be you and I’ll be me
Well it really doesn’t matter does it
Should of warned that neighbourhood
That people were going missing
And where the fuck is Robin Hood
But I guess they got what they wanted
And now the end is here
There’s no time to cry so run for your life
Before you disappear

High
03:39
|

|
She turned around and walked out that door
She said that she don’t love me no more
I don’t understand I don’t know what I did
To make that girl feel like this
And I
Want to get high
With you tonight
Want to get high
When we worked at the bar it used to be just fine
That girl would say she loves me all the time
Attached at the hip with her hand in mine
Now she’s gone forever and I don’t know why
We traveled across the world to where I lived
Bending over backwards for every thing that she did
She didn’t like my friends well nobody did
But now she’s gone forever and I’ve got to quit

Seedy In The Daytime
03:23
|
|||
|
It’s not as seedy in the daytime but at night time it changes
Out from the shadows come the masses of strangers
With their eyes rolled back in their heads chewing their own faces
Drinking down their potions and there ain’t no second places
I don’t ever wanna be controlled by you
I don’t ever wanna do those things you do
I don’t ever wanna be just like you
And I won’t let it happen
Well there’s a smell in the air of excitement and danger
And if opposites attract then they're just destined for failure
I wish I had some words that I thought could of saved ya
But I’m too busy here and I’m trying to save myself yeah
This is my Life

Anarchy
04:01
|
|||
|
Well it’s all anarchy it’s all its ever been
Two timing everyone so you can get your kicks for free
Another business suit has gone and got the boot
Didn’t follow protocol and told everyone the truth
Well how bigs your house
About as big as your mouth
I wanna play fair but
You’ve already bought 'em out
So here’s that new sound
That one I talked about
Resonating through the streets
And to the underground
Well yeah I do it to yeah I flick through
That jumble sale of information there in front of you
Well you can’t trust the news so tell me what is true
Open your eyes and mouth and see what they’re feeding you
Under palm trees and staring at the sun
I never wanted no trouble I was only looking for fun
With my eyes wide open I walked away
Under the palm trees so here I’ll stay

Wasting Time
02:43
|

|
The woman on the TV
Telling me just what I need
Telling me just what to buy
You can't get in to my mind
Credit cards are in the red
You won’t get into my head
Buy one buy one get one free
Satisfaction guaranteed
I'm just wasting time
Thinking about you
Pirate radio stations play
Propaganda air waves
You must dance now to this song
The same beat as the last one
But the captain says it's cool
So I guess it must be true
Buy one buy one get one free
Satisfaction guaranteed
I'm just wasting time
Thinking about you
And all the little things you do

Broken Records

They say you’ve got to go to school
Because that would be real cool
And you can learn to be real smart
Find a girl and settle down
In a semi-detached on the far side of town
Won’t that make your mother so proud
They say these days set you up for life
But this isn’t what I had in mind
Maybe I should do it all again
Instead we go out and get real pissed
Think about all those chances we missed
Wake up the next day just feeling like shit
This life ain’t what it seems
A broken record of tragedy
And I don’t wanna hear that song again
It’s not what they said it would be
It’s way too late you’re in the machine
And you gotta get out you gotta break free
Gotta get married and have a few kids
Just like your dad your dad did
And oh my god you’re such a family man
Give up the fun ‘coz your life’s done
You can’t play games like when you were young
Responsibility’s your new middle name
Now you wear that shirt and that tie
You watch as life passes you by
I’m sorry but I have to say
Give up the fun your life’s done
You can’t play games like when you were young
Responsibility’s your new middle name

I'll Do It Again
06:40
|
|||
|
You never talk about anything that I find interesting
You always talk about yourself and what your phone is doing
It’s really bringing me down and now I’m not listening
You flick those channels now I think we’ve lost her the TV’s winning
The lights are flashing now a siren screeches and someones house burnt down
I got you figured out coz I’ve seen it all up on my screen
The other night in town police man come and take my money away
I was only walking now I was just using my own two feet
I’ll do it again
