01) Run with the blind


Run with the blind the best of your kind, your leaders your God like saviours. Run with the cold and do what your told, you live by the shepherds of your graveyard. Run with the blind and see what you'll find, see if you can bring on a reaction. Run with the crowd be foolishly proud, the power and the glories the attraction. Hell is just a beat away in the heart of your passion play, you're so fanatic.

Run with the blind but just keep in mind, your symbols are the symbols of aggression. Run with the pack there's no turning back, the call of fools is no exception. Hell is just a flutter away in the heart of your passion play, you're so dramatic.

Following your guiding light, to the fine and deadly fight! Who will turn the day to night, must everybody suffer for your lack of sight!

Run with the blind and follow the signs, to mutually assured destruction. Run with the herd the crazed the absurd, blindly follow your instructions. Hell is just a bullet away in the heart of your passion play, you're just pathetic.

Following your guiding light, to the fine and deadly fight! Who will turn the day to night, must everybody suffer for your lack of sight!

Run with the blind! Run with the blind! Run with the blind! Run with the blind! Run with the blind! Run with the blind!


02) Is anybody there?

Well you won't hear us on the radio or Top Of The Pops, 'cos we're blanked. And I wonder what is that we've done, oh he was only having some fun. What went wrong? I get the feeling that somebody's got it in for us all the way and we've been called names that were not justified. And we never had the right to reply, telling lies.

Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Who'll lend us an ear?

It's just amazing how little people know about us not a thing, but rumours carry more weight than facts and they only contribute to the fact, that we take.

Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Who'll lend us an ear?

Never mind the bollocks the truth is plain to see, if only people took the time to come and talk to me!

Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Who'll lend us an ear?

The pressures mounting, everybody's waiting to hear at the end, but the more they try to sweep us away. Makes me all the more determined to stay,
we won't go away.

Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there? Somebody somewhere must care! Hello hello is anybody there?


03) Price too high to pay

So what you gonna do, you gonna stick with the crowd, walk the streets of the city following the biggest mouth. They want you for their dreams full of hate and oppression, when they're done they're all the same weekend politicians.

What they're gonna give you ain't nothing, to what they'll take away! And that's a price too high to pay!

So don't let them have your mind don't get left on the shelf, don't fight the innocent they need some of your help. You are the future be true to yourself, you are the shock troops it's your way out of here.

What they're gonna give you ain't nothing, to what they'll take away! And that's a price too high to pay!

A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high to pay!

So what you gonna do, you gonna stick with the crowd, walk the streets of the city following the biggest mouth. They want you for their dreams full of hate and oppression, when they're done they're all the same weekend politicians.

What they're gonna give you ain't nothing, to what they'll take away! And that's a price too high to pay!

A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high! A price too high, a price too high!


04) Think again

I've got a friend just an ordinary guy, but sometimes he comes out with so many lies. About how many women he's had in bed, he's trying to impress me but he hurts my head.

Think again use your brain! Your values are false and by lying you've nothing to gain!

There's this kid hangs around our way and he's all right but sometimes he'll say. How he beats people up for the sake of it, he's looking for credit but I can't give it.

Think again use your brain! You've just lost your way turn around just sit down think again!

You'll never prove you're someone, by use of the muscle alone. What will you ever become, by living in fairytales slug snails and poppy tales.

Think again use your brain! You've just lost your way turn around just sit down think again!

You'll never prove you're someone, by use of the muscle alone. What will you ever become, by living in fairytales slug snails and poppy tales.

Too many people trying to prove something, too many hang ups lie festering. Too much in the art of conditioning, people weren't made for packaging.

Think again use your brain! We're not all the same and by hiding we've nothing to gain! Think again use your brain! We're not all the same and by hiding we've nothing to gain!


05) Don`t say a word

There are people who know everything about you, every place that you've been every job you do. State of health state of mind it's the world today, it's all down in their files and computers too. And it's there to be seen by a cynic few, but you won't get to see it; it's not for you.

It's classified secret information, you'll have to use your imagination! All those files in the all of the nations, will only be seen by the powers that be! Don't say a word it's top secret! Don't make a sound don't even breath it! Don't say a word you don't know who might hear!

There are plans being made for the future now and they affect all of us don't you have no doubt, but you won't get to hear any of them now. All the changes they want to implement, to expedite development of our ever changing environment.

It's classified secret information, you'll have to use your imagination! All those files in the all of the nations, will only be seen by the powers that be! Don't say a word it's top secret! Don't make a sound don't even breath it! Don't say a word you don't know who might hear!

Don't say a word it's top secret! Don't make a sound don't even breath it! Don't say a word you don't know who might hear!

There are deals going on all across the globe, selling arms to a friend or even to a foe. What they're all about no one seems to know? I'd like to know what they've got to hide, are they frightened what you and I might find. Don't tell me it's all in the mind.

It's classified secret information, you'll have to use your imagination! All those files in the all of the nations, will only be seen by the powers that be! Don't say a word it's top secret! Don't make a sound don't even breath it! Don't say a word you don't know who might hear!

Don't say a word it's top secret! Don't make a sound don't even breath it! Don't say a word you don't know who might hear!


06) The sun says

We got Reds under the bed, we got lovely's nude and tanned. We got the wife of a mass murderer and we only paid her ten grand. We got Samantha Fox we got lots of sport, we got scroungers full of greed. "You Scum" is the headline, for you and your kids to read.

The Sun says, the Sun says-we're gonna look after you! The Sun says, the Sun says-so it must be true!

We got talk we got Lady Di, we got rapists in the dock. And best of all we got John Blake, who knows everything about Rock. So if you wanna know what's going on and who's kissing who. It don't cost much for a jolly good read and lots of pictures too.

The Sun says, the Sun says-we're gonna look after you! The Sun says, the Sun says-so it must be true!

Gotcha - Stick it up yer Turner! Bingo - Win a Metro!

Gotcha - Stick it up yer Turner! Bingo - Win a Metro!

The Sun says, the Sun says-we're gonna look after you! The Sun says, the Sun says-so it must be true! The Sun says, the Sun says-we're gonna look after you! The Sun says, the Sun says-so it must be true! The Sun says, the Sun says-we're gonna look after you! The Sun says, the Sun says-so it must be true!


07) They mean murder

When I was young those stories took me in, of G.I.Joe the comic macho man.

They mean murder, they mean murder! Disguised as fairytales, the hero never fails.

They mean murder, they mean murder!

They wave their flags, they play their anthems loud. Teach men to kill then teach them to be proud.

They mean murder, they mean murder! The ticker tape parade, hides all the waste they made.

They mean murder, they mean murder!

They mean murder, they mean murder!

When governments find that they can't agree, they settle differences so easily.

They mean murder, they mean murder! Hysteria has spread and it's you who ends up dead.

They mean murder, they mean murder!

They mean murder, they mean murder!

They mean murder, they mean murder! They mean murder, they mean murder!

Turn men into machines, disguise the truth with dreams.

They mean murder, they mean murder! They mean murder, they mean murder! They mean murder, they mean murder!


08) Closedown

I am a product of the sixth degree, don't you wish that you were me. I go for a walk and then I watch TV, 'til it's time to have my tea. I watch all the adverts splashed on my screen, but they don't mean a thing to me. It's a joke it's a scream a rotten scheme, so I close my eyes and dream.

Hey hey hey - I'm sitting in a night-club! Hey hey hey - I'm drinking champagne! Hey hey hey - somebody calls me it's closedown time again! Hey hey hey - I'm on the Riviera! Hey hey hey - soaking up the sun! Hey hey hey - somebody calls me closedown channel one!

They tell me of such sweet delights, you can buy with credit cards. Write a cheque push a button sign a dotted line, for a holiday to the stars. Buy a house buy a car lots of luxuries, someone even bought the company. They make me cry they make me scream, so I close my eyes and dream.

Hey hey hey - I'm sitting in a night-club! Hey hey hey - I'm drinking champagne! Hey hey hey - somebody calls me it's closedown time again! Hey hey hey - I'm on the Riviera! Hey hey hey - soaking up the sun! Hey hey hey - somebody calls me closedown channel one!

I can't take no more of this temptation, I wanna have my share. I'll buy my old black mask and my cowboy gun, in a short while I'll be there. I'm here in the bank and I'll smile with glee, if they give all the money to me. The bells go off and the cops came in and they're telling me to freeze.

Hey hey hey - down in the station! Hey hey hey - throw away the key! Hey hey hey - what a toe rag closedown time for me!

Hey hey hey - down in the station! Hey hey hey - throw away the key! Hey hey hey - what a toe rag closedown time for me!


09) Chip on my shoulder (Live)

Well the country's burned down look at it smoulder, I wanna live for today don't wanna get any older. You can't show us nothing we don't wanna be shown, don't wanna end up digging holes in the road.

Everywhere we go they shout - you got a chip on your shoulder! A chip on your shoulder!

I'm gonna shout gonna scream don't wanna job too soon, I wanna fight on a Saturday afternoon. Runnin' riot might as well, me little brother gone and joined the T.C.L..

Everywhere we go they shout - you got a chip on your shoulder! A chip on your shoulder!

We don't need none of your aggravation, the kids need more than masturbation. You can't show us nothing we don't wanna be shown, don't wanna end up digging holes in the road.

Everywhere we go they shout - you got a chip on your shoulder! Everywhere we go they shout - you got a chip on your shoulder! Everywhere we go they shout - you got a chip on your shoulder! A chip on your shoulder!


10) Running Riot (Live)

Running riot for you!

Things you say and things you do sure worry me, when were out on the street making money for you and your society. It seems to me the time is right, for another generation and another street fight. Got no future, sure got a right, I got a right to live.

Cos I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is for a runnin riot! I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is a running...Riot!!

Don't you try to understand the way we feel, flash limousines and mortgages ain't no big deal. I've got no friends who want to be, living like you when they're thirty three. Getting old sure bothers me, it bothers me to death.

Cos I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is for a runnin riot! I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is a running...Riot!!

Cos I can't stand the peace and quiet! All I want is have a runnin riot. I wanna riot! I can't stand the peace and quiet, all I want is have a running. I just wanna Riot!
