THE FLAGS OF DISCONTENT
He wanted to stand from the crowd
A life of crime was what he found
Stole a 5 gear Cavalier
But he left too many clues
So sure that he knew the score
But now he pays his dues
Gonna get it, gonna get it
The Flags Of Discontent
Are raised up so high
They fly for you and me
The Flags Of Discontent
Can’t get satisfied
They fly for you and me
Fly for all humanity
Handcuffed and reading out his rights
In custody for 700 nights
Just a kid who got inspired
To turn a hand to crime
Now his head is on a stake
In Borstal doing time
Gonna get it, gonna get it
He wants Utopia but it’s a sham
At least he’s on “Crimewatch” once again
The white flag surrender
Those teenage kicks erased
The white flag surrender
Counting down the wasted days
The white flag surrender
As they gang up in his room
The white flag surrender
Freedom can’t come too soon
The Flags Of Discontent
Are raised up so high
They fly for you and me
The Flags Of Discontent
Can’t get satisfied
They fly for you and me
Fly for all humanity

HYPERMANIA
For 5 whole years you spent worrying
What kind of world will your child be born?
Pregnancy over; The dirty deed was done!
What kind of child have you bought in the world?
The scarred faces, the parents faces,
Junior drained the mother’s breasts sore
The vicious children, the devastation
What kind of child have you bought in the world
Hypermania, Hypermania, Hypermania
You made your bed now lie in it.
The hired nurses all looking after
All trained in a lunatic home
Then both the parents were claimed by cancer
What kind of child have you bought in the world?
What kind of child
What kind of child
What kind of child have you bought in the world?

JOIN THE ELITE
Your father took you in hand and said
The Army will make you a man
Well either he thinks you’re screwing his Wife
Or he’s shares in Ammunitions
“You’re getting beneath me feet” he said
With leadership quality
Well Dad I’d rather wear your skin than join the infantry
But the papers say “You’ve joined The Elite”
Join The Elite, Part of the supreme
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite, be part of the team
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite; Cockfighting!
Well your ordeal by combat is someone else’s bet
Your game to be the target
Then your ‘game’ on someone’s plate
Like cocks that do the fighting
As we speculate to win
Speculate, accumulate and fabricate the war you’re in
It’s too late, You’ve joined The Elite
Join The Elite, Part of the machine
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite, part of regime
It’ll toughen you up especially when
That rigor mortis sets in
Join The Elite; Cockfighting!
Outraged my friends they were shocked
When they read this song
Compare the sport to these words
They’re bringing up his son
To fight to the end
Cockfighting, the metaphors relate to the truth
Don’t miss this opportunity
Of scooping tomorrow’s prize
Estimated a million jackpot
If you pick the winning side
“All the best of luck son”
Then a bottle of whisky got drank
You slipped into a drunken haze
Then he swapped your bullets for blanks
His money went on the enemy side
And he doesn’t plan for them to get beat
His money went on the other side
The savings went on your defeat
It’s too late, you joined the elite
