lyrics

I can't believe what i saw here today.
Where's the sincerity? It's silenced by shame.
Too drug fucked for action,
well what's that meant to mean?
More bashings in a Redfern police cell,
whilst we're locked away in our self oppressed shells.
When the noose is round our necks,
where will our ideals be?

When you look around to see who will listen to you
& you can't find many that will.
Remember oppression
won't always wear the same face.

If you know that it's shit
when you're told to calm down,
why should you justify that to the junkies crown?
When the shit starts to hit the fan,
where will our strength be gone?
Another activist is silenced by fear,
"What can I do?" you say & swig on your beer,
While all the more batons
are being brought down on what's left of justice.

When you look around to see who will listen to you
& you can't find many that will.
Remember oppression
won't always wear the same face.

Authority comes in more than a few forms.
Of course we don't need any more bloody laws,
Does every generation have to follow the one before?
I can't believe what I saw here today.
Where's the sincerity?!  It's silenced by shame.
Too drug fucked to give a shit,
well fuck, that means shit to me.

When you look around to see who will listen to you
& you can't find many that will.
Remember oppression
won't always wear the same face.
