Lyrics : barney greenway / music : jesse pintado

Phobic – eggshell-walking on a brink.
Camera sensor eyes pierce.
We excuse stone-set normality.
Yet send tremors through morality.

Frozen optics,
Traction for outspoken heads.

Fuck your badgeless, rankless dirge
And bizarre take on community concern.
Division is your vision.

Cajoled – jostled into position
Where we can’t ascend or defend.
Funny how you’re moulded by perfection ;
Which visionary told you so ?

Curse our influence,
Traction for outspoken heads.

Your true colours make us reel – scab
Garish hue with bilious sheen – scab
No dressing up to the nines – scab
It’s permanent under the skin.

Policing the detritus – unclean !
Policing the benign ?

Fuck your badgeless, rankless dirge
And fuck assumptions that we’re dirt
This derision builds a prison…for you !
