Wolves of Power
cold grey Truxtun warship visit
forces of destruction in our lives
part of a senseless arms race
one mistake no one survives
paper welcomes sailors to our nightspots
with lure - girls get in free
those who care just don't get a look in
is this the way that it should be?
too much control by Wolves of Power
they make the lamb fat then they devour
doubters calling for protection
possessing little peace in hand
power matters more than people
to the rulers of our land
too much control by Wolves of Power
they make the lamb fat then they devour
you if you've got no time to think
you if you've got to make a buck
you as you have another drink
you if you don't give a f***
too much control by Wolves of Power
they make the lamb fat then they devour
too much control by Wolves of Power
they make the lamb fat then they devour
too much control by Wolves of Power
they make the lamb fat then they devour
(repeat and fade)
Business Bustle
sleepy eyed only half alive I peer through ragged curtains
sound of city stirring motors weekday job seems certain
helter skelter downhill slide I've missed my bus now racing
can't be late sign in at eight morning rush I'm facing
Business Bustle walk/no time to stop and talk
will I just hoot and squalk just like all the rest
product based rapid waste mass consumption
wrapped bouquet planned decay unkind unction
profits are up workforce been cut monopoly muscle proven punch
company chairman spunky secretary office robots out to lunch
Business Bustle face/big city frantic pace
busy ants grabbing race love is bringing crumbs closer
bar room games well known names casually dropped at parties
theatre toads accountant's codes arrogant arty farties
two car bay view wealth's chosen few gluttons gambit mammon's gain
starving child cries poor old man dies no shelter from ice cold rain
Business Bustle rush/blatant people crush
it's OK our carpet's plush we don't even have to worry
Humble Fumble
giving gets used minion roles abused
snob nosed attitudes little gratitude
keep up this treatment you're gonna tumble
I'm telling you you're gonna tumble
distant witness formal fitness
avoids soiled hands not known own stand
what would you do if you were lost in the jungle
would you keep your cool or would you bungle
coz I hear the sound of a distant rumble
I said dead institutions crumble
as the last lost lunatic mumbles
I'm sticking with Humble Fumble
all need warm love not shove off second rate
weakness put down lapsing sick state
help us out of this jumble
please don't let us stumble
coz I hear the sound of a distant rumble
I said dead institutions crumble
as the last lost lunatic mumbles
I'm sticking with Humble Fumble
cheap slaves no plea street steals set fee
commerce business only interest
feelings suppressed stir up unrest
sold short too much dead wood don't touch
I hear the sound of a distant rumble
I said dead institutions crumble
as the last lost lunatic mumbles
I'm sticking with Humble Fumble
(All For The Sake of) Appearances
comb your hair shave your legs wear a drip dry shirt
dolled up to the wisdom teeth to clean for a speck of dirt
brand new house and a shiny car at a price you can't afford
dressing up the basic facts you get the group award
All For The Sake of Appearances
All For The Sake of Appearances
go to work boring job pretend it's a lot of fun
strive to earn a living wage and paradise in the sun
but it's too late to buy that dream you thought success would bring
when you played along with false allure you lost the real thing
All For The Sake of Appearances
All For The Sake of Appearances
smile and say I feel alright pretend there's nothing wrong
be a man and play the game - act cool and strong
but the pain I feel won't go away it just gets pushed aside
and glossed over with trivia like statues of my pride
All For The Sake of Appearances
All For The Sake of Appearances
All For The Sake of Appearances
All For The Sake of Appearances
All For The Sake of Appearances
All For The Sake of A
All For The Sake of
All For The Sake
Plastic Image
proud owner of sleek maroon motorcycle
lounge bar drinker bourbon and coke
inner city dweller in a thin white house
vanishing in blue grey cloud of smoke
Plastic Image I'm talking about
Plastic Image falsehood flout
Plastic Image it just don't last
Plastic Image is fading fast
covered real face make up games
changing colours underneath it's just the f****** same
new car knockout parked outside
dressed in white like a virgin bride
Plastic Image I'm talking about
Plastic Image falsehood flout
Plastic Image it just don't last
Plastic Image is fading fast
am I what I see I am going to be
skip a line climb a tree find the real me
perfume gift wrapped for my girl
working in woolies selling snowfreeze whirls
meet for a meal in our vinyl coats
down at McDonalds eating broiled goat
Plastic Image I'm talking about
Plastic Image falsehood flout
Plastic Image it just don't last
Plastic Image is fading fast
