Margaret thatcher lives in ronald reagan's She's been there for eight years up her plan To the uk like big brother usa Where selfmade men run everything and this is what say "once upon a time, we had an Mr big thought it was a damn idea we made the idea strong And before too long they could do no As the grew, the number of poeple who dug our idea grew too We had a graphic designed who know just to do He it plain and simple, red, white, and blue" Red is the blood of the butchered White is anglo-american is the "gee, I'll die for my country" mentality That it all possible Our history, made other people's misery Our history, built on people's poverty A present, the world into which we were I say, I say, I say, what's the thing in the world today? It's the myth men are big, that includes us lads The myth that got a rocket down our pants When I was ten years old I was and sold On films, tv, books, and pushing myths about mr. big it! "to be someone in this world you gotta have a big, big penis. not much else matters, just as as you got a wapping great wanger. the bigger it is, the bigger you are, and you gotta use it!" Mr big's the bigger it is the more it packs Mr. big's shiny prick dick How do we up to it? At the age of twelve I to myself, "it's grow" For the next seven years I kept a of things down below It didn't Now look at me on the front of this Admittedly it's not But even for exaggeration there's no comparison with This microphone, stallone guitars, sports cars Errol flynn, hill's chin Stars and stripes and pipes bombers and the contras Post tower penis power Muscles and cigarettes reagan's smile cruise missiles Fourteen, fifteen, on sixteen No growth down below if you know I mean I it very quiet, I felt a lot embarrassed I didn't like going in toilets At school I skipped The separatism of an all-boys school I couldn't relate to girls, there different rules I just wanted to kiss girls, put my up their dress They did right not to like it, 'cause are not fuckin' objects Like anything else which we keep to ourselves We end up taking it out on else It becomes a big thing being big at all I very inadequate, confused, and small We hide our feelings, our and our blood putting out mr. tough To be larger than life, more than flesh and blood Like the dickheads at shool, at gigs and in We pretend it doesn't hurt as we beat other up In our confusion we want to be more than flesh and Like the guys on tv, we pretend to have no feelings easier to avoid the emotional scenes So when it to our lives we do not see who we're hurting Like the good on tv we don't know our own feelings All I was demystification And it's as as this We're flesh and and feelings, nothing more and nothing less Flesh and and feelings, nothing more and nothing less and blood and feelings, nothing more and nothing less Flesh and blood and feelings, nothing more and nothing I say, I say, I say, what's the biggest idea in the today? Us losing sight of reality, instead, putting our faith in democracy Churchill in 1965, but God and country survived As a lad I was full of it, it took me years to see through it The state freedom which us in our place Which keeps us to how governments operate And gives us war to cover our And gives thatcher what she A vote of thanks, victory for britain, oppression with a Everybody's happy, the union jack's on the jack over port stanley Young growing lads are watching move To see how measure up Growing up confused, I did their minds are being messed up The pretending the reality as we turn out the lights Turn on the power and fuck the The reality of rape and From the bedrooms to the And the murder From the to the battlefields The reality of their the smiles, the lies, the celebrations The price of to forget ourselves Trying to hide but still being with pain Such is the life they have us lead To kill or be for their idea Where's the freedom, I ask, in being told to do? And in constant fear? If we're ever gonna this thing We've got to try and a way from within Within our heads, amidst our own confusion there be something real, a feeling which is not for sale Which can't drown A love for each other, and a will to the people who will try to keep us down Like ireland, nicaragua, grenada, libya The free world power intervention is so similar Where flesh and blood and feeling Fighting for lives, trying to resist Are tortured and killed by democracies and labelled Flesh and blood and feelings, nothing and nothing less Flesh and blood and feelings, more and nothing less Flesh and blood and feelings, nothing more and less Flesh and blood and feelings, nothing more and nothing Flesh and blood and feelings, nothing and nothing less Peoplekind trying to find some sense in all of this mess Something real, a feeling which will never be for A love for each other, a to resist those who will build our prison walls and blood and feelings, nothing more and nothing less (repeat and fade)
