These Colours Dont Run by Conflict Lyrics
The factories still churning out
Of that there's not a single doubt
There's more snide shit from their flea pits
They couldn't give a f**king shit
It's true, overdue, and plain to see
They say, we're standing firmly in the rain
Simply waiting for it to stop they said
That we should build new umbrellas because we're
Stuck in our own rut
I say, blow away the rain clouds
For the new horizon is crystal clear
It's took sometime, but we're on the right track
Now where do we go from here?
Sick and tored of worthless statements
Pissed off with the same old songs
You stuff your moral rule book
Of what's allowed, what's right and wrong
Oh yeah, there's those who only criticise yet offer
Nothing new solutions? Ideas? No, just raked up shit
What a clever thing to do
We must strive on for what we know is right
We know all too well there's no end in sight
But human nature is still on our side as the politicians
Fall into landslide we're out on the street
Feeling the beat of the heart's in anger at the upper crust
Elite who don't hear us scream or beg for a halt or
Their society aborts
1981 President Reagan and the pope face assassins'
Bullets and escape with their lives
But in Cairo Sadat dies in a hail of automatic fire
From brixton to Belfast riots rage and fires burn
The royal wedding of Pronce Charles is celebrated
In America the skies roar as Columbia the first space
Shuttle blasts off but as winter descends so does the
Chilling news of martial law in Poland
1982 Argentina invades Falklands, Speilberg captures
Our imaginations, unemployment rises above three million
Adn with threat of cruise missiles twenty
Thousand women go to war to safe guard peace
Britain gets it's fourth T.V. station
Princess Diana gives us a royal heir
The I.R.A. bring horror to Hyde Park, Breshnev dies in
Russia and Irael invades Lebanon
1983 As protesters get into their stride at Greenham
Ronald Reagan promises to make Star Wars a frightening reality
Back on earth the Soviets admit to shooting down a Korean airliner
Maggie Thatcher triumphs again and America's first
Woman astronaut is in space;
For Grenada its an American invasion
1984 after twelve weeks the striking miners still
Battle on and in Brighton the P.M. and cabinet narrowly
Escape death as an I.R.A. bomb rips through the Grand Hotel
Yvonne Thatcher is gunned down and her murderer
Flies away a free man
Rajiv Gandhi fights dave his country after the
Assassination of his mother
Millions face starvation in Ethiopia
1985 Mikhail Gorbachev is Soviet leader, while shouts
Of "scab" greet miners
Unions vote to end the national strike
The rainbow warrior of Greenpeace is damaged in
New Zealand by two bombs
Live aid rocks the world for the hungry
A policeman is hacked to death in London
Reagan in Geneva said the world is now a safe place
1986 Space shuttle explodes on take off, Swedish P.M. is
Shot dead in the street, the pickets cash in wapping
Reagan bombs Libya (keep your head down), Russian
Nuclear reactor is ablaze
1987 Beirut gun man attack U.N., Argentinian president
Ends arms revolt, Gorbachev makes new offer on arms
Cuts, Iraqi exocet blasts U.S. frigate
Thatcher is elected for a third term
In Britain 'spycatcher' is banned
But anyone can buy it in America
A storm hits the stock market on black monday
1988 S.A.S. gun man gun down I.R.A. unit in Gibraltar
Mitterand returns as French president. U.S. war ships
Shoot down an Iranian airliner
Bush is elected as U.S. president
Thatcher speaks for Polish freedom
Britain is shocked by two disasters in nine days and
Edwina resigns over a storm in an egg cup
1989 Berlin wall is torn down
Freedom sweeps the East. In China a light of hope in
Tiannamen square is extinguished
In Romania peoplel fight against the dictator Ceauces-Cu
And with his death they win
For once it seems a hope and good can prevail
1990 Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait, U.N. troops leave
To face the unknown horrors of modern warfare
Mandela is freed, the Soviet pulls out of Czechoslavakia
And Maggie Thatcher resigns
1991 The waiting is over, the Gulf explodes, never
Has such a powerful force been unleashed against one
Nation. The bombardment against Iraq is relentless
The end comes quickly, as the victorious survivors
Celebrate, for some the battle against grief is just
Beginning, yellow ribbons are everywhere, with the
Release of John McCarthy
It seems at last the world is changing for the better
The plights of those in misery
A dead necked vision, product of subsidence
F**ked up, and held in screaming silence
Another police force investigation
Blatant lies, false f**ked suggestions
Is it all down to communications?
Or does the grass need cutting?
Has it changed direction?
The chants that only serve to divide
The police link with the revenue, the royalties slide
Now as poor old joy gardener bites the dust
Why should I give a flying f**k?
But the lefties scream outside the courts
Looking to lay the blame, it's no one's fault
They show sincerity, oh how much they care
Yeah, in their sick, twisted cause, in their affairs
A black boy has just missed his bus
A racist attack? Or blood thirsty lust?
Again the left jump on the back of this weeks attack
And force feed, socialist shit militant crap
They blatantly try and whip up violence
Why don't they keep their arseholes shut?
And keep in silent
Another black person has died, that is true
But are you surprised? I ain't, because I already knew
By promoting political deaths they could not give a f**king toss
Sexism reigns in mans green wordl
The A.L.F. proves yet again that they won't be told
That what they do (or don't) is totally wrong
So f**k off you insane cunts, it still remains...
Our song!
Detention centres for the relentless
Approves schools for the fools
Abolish the jury, punish the fury
But it's our power that you fuel
So is it basically blatantly obvious
And in fact f**king common sense
That when people are forced to live in shit
Under your conditions, crime will undoubtedly spread
You may be watching every move we make
You even convince yourself that you're clever
But I'm looking back right into your eyes, so
Don't you ever, never ever, think that I might trip or
Slip right down your stairs
Into your cells, where unaware, you can beat
And f**k me senseless, while the world spins
Around relentless
You may have people on your side that I
Consider the lowest form of life
But don't you think of what you call respect
Even enters into our minds aspect
For I'm sick of respect, how bout our causes instead?
What made the maddeened go to extreme lengths
Who simply couldn't take it
Who knew they wouldn't make it
Being ground down fine, by those who haven't got the time
For they shall punish those who sin
Toss the peasants live into the bin
Of those who won't beg for their pittance
And that still remains our f**king difference
Who will not beg to their Jesus, god
Christ I've had enough of that
Christ I've had enough of this!
Of that there's not a single doubt
There's more snide shit from their flea pits
They couldn't give a f**king shit
It's true, overdue, and plain to see
They say, we're standing firmly in the rain

That we should build new umbrellas because we're
