Big A, little A, bouncing B

The system might have got you but it won't get me

1 - 2 - 3 - 4

External control are you gonna let them get you?

Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they
set you?

You say you want to ba yourself, by christ do you
think they'll let you?

They're out to get you get you get you get you
get you get you get you

Hello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God, can
you hear?

Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for you
down there

On earth I have ambassadors, archbishop, vicar,
pope

We'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon
any hope,

We're telling you you'd better pray cos you were
born in sin

Right from the start we'll build a cell and then
we'll lock you in

We sit in holy judgement condemning those that
stray

We offer our forgiveness, but first we'll make
you pay

External control are you gonna let them get you?

Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they
set you?

You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you
think they'll let you?

They're out to get you get you get you get you
get you get you get you

Hello, hello, hello, now here's a massage from
your queen

As figurehead of the status quo I set the social
scene

I'm most concerned about my people, I want to
give them peace

So I'm making sure they stay in line with my army
and police

My prisons and my mental homes have ever open
doors

For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for
more

Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't
allow

So I'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to
bow

External control are you gonna let them get you?

Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they
set you?

You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you
think they'll let you?

They're out to get you get you get you get you
get you get you get you

Introducing the Prime Sinister, she's a mother to
us all

Like the dutch boy's finger in the dyke her arse
is in the wall

Holding back the future waiting for the seas to
part

If Moses did it with is faith, she'll do it with
an army

Who at times of threatened crisis are certain to
be there

Guarding national heritage no matter what or
where

Palaces for kings and queens, mansions for the
rich

Protection for the wealthy, defence of privilege

They've learnt the ropes In Ireland, engaged in
civil war

Fighting for the ruling classes in their battle
against the poor

So Ireland's just an island? It's an island of
the mind

Great Britain? Future? Bollocks, you'd better
look behind

Round every other corner stands P.C. 1984

Guardian of the future, he'll implement the law

He's there as a grim reminder that no matter what
you do

Big brothers system's always there with his beady
eyes on you

From God to local bobby, in home and street and
school

They've got your name and number while you've
just got their rule

We've got to look for methods to undermine those
powers

It's time to change the tables. The future must
be ours

Big A, little A, bouncing B

The system might have got you but it won't get me

Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want
to do

I am he and she is she but you're the only you

No one else has got your eyes, can see the things
you see

It's up to you to change your life and my life's
up to me

The problems that you suffer from are problems
that you make

The shit we have to climb through is the shit we
choose to take

If you don't like the life you live, change it
now it's yours

Nothing has effects if you don't recognise the
cause

If the programme's not the one you want, get up,
turn off the set

It's only you that can decide what life you're
gonna get

If you don't like religion you can be the
antichrist

If your tired of politics you can be an anarchist

But no one ever changed the church by pulling
down a steeple

And you'll never change the system by bombing
number ten

Systems just aren't made of bricks they're mostly
made of people

You may send them into hiding, but they'll be
back again

If you don't like the rules they make, refuse to
play their game

If you don't want to be a number, don't give them
your name

If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to
hear their question

Silence is a virtue, use it for your own
protection

They'll try to make you play their game, refuse
to show your face

If you don't want to be beaten down, refuse to
join their race

Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want
to do

I am he and she is she but you're they only you
