Crass - You're Already Dead (1983) скачать видео бесплатно

1990's CD Reissue

LYRICS:

Intro: ATTENTION. Fuck American power. Fuck Russian power.

Fuck British power. ATTENTION. These ignorant shits arm

themselves for annihilation and call it world peace.

Bollocks.

Pacified. Classified. Keep in line. You're doing fine.

Lost your voice? There ain't no choice. Play the game.

Silent and tame. Be the passive observer, sit back and look

at the world they destroyed and the peace they took.

Ask no questions, hear no lies and you'll be living in the

comfort of a fool's paradise. You're already dead....

If you're the passive observer, here's a message for you...

You're already dead. Afraid to do what you know you should do..

You're already dead. The world's at the edge of nuclear

destruction, but you're too afraid to make the connection.

You still believe the system's there for your protection...

You're already dead.

By letting it happen without a fight... You're already dead.

With your endless debates about wrong and right...

You're already dead. Nothing's going to change if you're not

prepared to act, there's no point complaining after the fact,

content to be a number, branded X and neatly packed...

You're already dead.

Four hundred thousand people marched for CND...

They're already dead, unless they're willing to act on what

they see... They're already dead. If each and every one of us

was prepared to fight for more, to stand against the system

that creates the need for war, the elite would have to run like

It's never run before... They're already dead.

We don't need organising or politicians being patronising.

We don't need leadership, trendy lefties being hip. Don't need

their condescension or their back to the roots pretension.

We've heard it all before, politicians saying 'no more war',

pulling wool across our eyes. We don't need their dangerous lies.

We won't accept capitulation, it's just manipulation. They want

the smooth without the rough,but words and gestures aren't enough.

We've got to learn to reject all leaders and the passive shit

they feed us.. They're already dead.

If you think moderation's going to pave the way to peace...

You're already dead. What good is moderation 'gainst the army

and police?' You're already dead. We're not promoting mindless

violence, keep that for the fools, we're simply saying be

prepared to break their laws and rules, let them know the bigger

they come, the harder they will fall... They're already dead.

If they're going to play it dirty, so are we...

They are already dead. They can keep their lies about the land of

the free... They're already dead. We've allowed them too often to

use their iron fist, but there's one little detail they appear to

have missed... You don't have to be PASSIVE just because you're a

PACIFIST... They're already dead.

They'll try to sell their system like it's some kind of age-old

wisdom, but we've been had like that before. it's just the rich

exploiting the poor. Well here's an honest confession, we think

it's time they learnt a lesson. They've tried to hold the people

down, but we've simply gone underground, moving in the darkness

looking for the light, looking for a future and ready to fight.

Looking for the freedom that's been denied, fast to attack and

fast to hide.. In a world where the people can't make it. they've

simply got to learn to break it and if the wealthy aren't

prepared to shake it.. OK, we'll simply have to take it...

You're already dead.
