Oxymoron - Westworld

01    Legion '82
02    Run From Reality
03    Petrol Bomb
04    Westworld
05    I'm Genuine
06    Life's a Bitch 





01    Legion '82
Listen, here's some further noise
Yes, mohican tunes - sharp as razors
We ain't gonna rest until we bite the dust

The crew from '82, they mourn the good old days
Once you've been one of them, or so at least you say
But now you've grown older and got your normal lifes
What's left of your ideals, rebllion and spikes?

[chorus:]
Dying out legion - Legion '82

It's all been better when you used to be around
You say it was genuine, but it ain't no fashion now
It's still the same about cos nothing really changed
Someone has to keep it going or it was a waste of time

It's just your former self that you don't recognize
You tell me I'm out of place and time two odd decades
Well I don't care about what all those people say
It doesn't matter cos what counts is today

[chorus:]
Join our legion - we're the legion me and you
Join our legion - Legion of the nineties' youth

02    Run From Reality
Suddenly the things ain't what they used to be
Now everything's changed and I wonder why
Too scared to face the possibilities
My life's so different I wanna close my eyes

Can't get rid of the growing fear inside me
Denying it all is just the real insanity

[chorus:]
I try to run, I try to flee
...but you can't run from reality
I try to run, to run away
...no use to call 999

It's been my self-protection but now I've got the prove
So far I've been to blind to accept the fucking truth
Well now I've come to see which way the cat jumps
And that's the reason why it's getting out of hand

Can't get it out, this growing fear inside me
Denying it all is just sheer insecurity

Suddenly hte things ain't what they used to be
The lie I've been living is catching up with me
Yeah I quit my job cos I wanna be free
But what a living do I get without a pay
...no way

Repressed them all, these bothering things that annoyed me
It ain't nothing new to turn your back on reality

03    Petrol Bomb
They say it's time to crack down on what they call obscene
But what they meant is blokes like me and the life I chose to lead
OK let's have an uproar, their troops are marching in
With determination in their eyes they've rallied all again

[chorus:]
Come on, come on
Give me a Petrol Bomb

The riot troops assembly is finally marching off
A few had luck and could escape the baton-slinging lot
Some fellows are arrested, perhaps they're locked away
You lift your bottle and set out to have your fun again

Pronouncement of the judgement, the youth is led away
He wasn't even sixteen and had smashed an offie's pane
Put in reformatories where other wankers wait
Who try to force him in their frame - break out before it's too late

Come on, come on
Give him a Petrol Bomb

Now you speak out against the youth's aggressions
Scream and shout, but you taught them how to hate
Now you speak out but the account is settled
Praise your luck there ain't bullets through your head

04    Westworld
Imprisoned face to face in this strange artificial place
with free-wheeled criminals who carry knives and loaded guns
Aggravation's usual for the western world
Radio stations send their warning - red alert

[chorus:]
In the Westworld
Concrete desert
In the Westworld
Endless strife to survive

The leaders lost control, now violence and corruption rule
The fittest survive this zone, you wait untill it catches you
Violation's common in the western world
Radio stations send their warning - red alert

Imprisoned face to face in times all-out computerized
gunslingers prowl in troops this animated danger zone
Violation civilization
Savage destert, this is Westworld
Through the nation sounds the calling - red alert
Destination still unknown, maybe WW III

[chorus:]
In the Westworld
Concrete desert
In the Westworld
On our own in a danger zone

05    I'm Genuine
What do you wanna hear?
Well I haven't fucking changed
Some progress has been made but my attitude's remained the same
You'd better expect fuck all, I owe you no excuse
I don't need to justify my affairs nor explain the way I chose

[chorus:]
I haven't been around to feed a new breed
I haven't been in for it all to satisfy some need
And never have I done it out of greed

Cos I'm no trendy prick - I'm genuine
Just the way I am - no trendy scheme
No, I'm no trendy prick - I'm genuine
I'm genuine, no trendy scheme
Slag off your bands, destroy your scene...

You're easily led astray to spread out what rumours say
But the image that you have in mind is as false as what you read

We're just another bunch of everyday's yobbos
We've got a common aim and share the same troubles
And all the trendy wankers make us sick

We live off the nation's garbage can
Trying to make do as best as we can
We live off the nation's garbage can
We ain't no trendy Wankers man

06    Life's a Bitch
Just another day, and just another mess
But if you resign you'll never know success

Chin up, get out now and try again my friend
This life is your last, so enjoy it 'til the end

[chorus:]
You stand in the heap of the ruins that your life used to be
All the time you succumbed to a fake or a dangerous mistake
You stand in the heap of the rubble of broken ideals
It's true that life's a bitch

REsign to your fate, life's hard but I live to win
...Life's a bitch
Just keep on trying over and over again
...Life's a bitch

Risk it - standing proud demands to give a bit
No future to behold, so make the best of it

Face it, find out that it's worth to make a stand
Nothing venture nothing have - it's true my friend
