Enviro-mental

All ov a sudden, it’s hip to be green, you say you know ov CFC’s, but you don’t know what it means, you say you’re ozone friendly, but you don’t know where it is, and E bet you trendy bastards don’t put your litter in thee bin, ‘cause everybody’s gone enviro-mental, suddenly your planet has become your temple, but what ov thee years where you just weren’t aware, you can’t repair thee damage done when you didn’t care, there’s ozone friendly aerosols, but still you drive your car, without lead-free petrol, well hypocrisy’s gone far, they’re still chopping down thee forests, they’re still breaking thee chain, more chemicals in tap water, than E have in my brain, go green you say, it’s so hip to be green, but what ov all thee pollution, you wash down your sink? Thee seas are like a sewage works, thee fish have all gone, can you hear thee reasoning E state in this song? If you’re gonna be green, be totally green, we aint won half thee battle and we’ve run out ov steam, we’ve gotta stop this “destruction to make a quick buck” if you’re putting money first, then you don’t give a fuck, enviro, enviro-mental, enviro, enviro-mental, enviro, enviro-mental, now it’s so, so elemental.
(1989)

I have a statement for thee new generations….what are you gonna fucking do about it? You have the internet, you mostly have jobs and a reasonable lifestyle but the problems of the world?...what are you gonna fucking do about it? You go to Glastonbury, corporate whore fayre that it has become, you smoke a little weed, do the odd pill and a bit of Charlie, while teenagers get life sentences for murdering each other with knives and blowing houses up with home made bombs….what are you fucking gonna do about it? You live in this street, in this community in this country, in this world but you fucking do nothing, like it has nothing to do with you, like it is not your responsibility, but it is….this is your generation, it is not mine, it is yours….so what are you fucking gonna do about it? Voting changes nothing, not voting changes nothing, your pc changes nothing, your DVD player changes nothing, your mp3 player changes nothing, your music changes nothing and challenges nothing, your party’s change nothing, your lifestyle changes nothing….so what are you fucking gonna do about it? Do you think it’s gonna change on its own? It fucking aint, you gotta motivate it to happen, you gotta kick against the pricks, push it, force it, smash it and destroy it, they’re so happy with you, the do nothing generation, you’re just a bunch of slaves with ignorant smiles, while people get fucked over right in front of you and you laugh and think its nothing, this is your generation….it is not nothing…..so what are you fucking gonna do about it? Don’t stab each other stab the bastards who made you like this , don’t blow each other up blow up the fucking bastards who put you in this open fucking prison we all live in, don’t fight each other, unite and fight them, they’ve got the guns but we’ve got reservations? No we’ve got thee fucking numbers so turn on them, bite thee corporate hand that feeds, burn em down, fuck em up, what the fuck have they ever done for you? Since day one they have been conspiring against you, working against you, blinding and stifling you, stopping you from becoming what you should already have become, they’re fucking executioners…..so what are you fucking gonna do about it? Destroy the ivory tower of thee rich, break the hands of anyone who puts their hands upon you in the name of law, pull down the temples of religious intolerance, become what you should have become, free people in a free world, messengers of a new generation, the future.(2008)
