Attack Attack by Kev Carmody Lyrics
If you are a workin’ class woman
If your socialist, unemployed or black
If you support redistribution of wealth
We’re under Attack-Attack-Attack
From this system’s new right
Who worship power and might
Who wanta purge the ‘pinks’
An’ anyone who thinks
"Be born, be silent, consume and die"
We can shatter this cycle
If we collectively try
Attack-Attack-Attack fight back
We gotta go through the window
The new rights locked the door
Like an expo landlord
They keep the powerless poor
We pay our P.A.Y.E taxes
So the elite and the yuppie D.I.N.K.S
Can drink champagne – eat caviar
See how they think?
It’s easy to see
What this new right’s doin’
Control our destiny
An’ collapse our Unions
Privatize our existence
Abolish our free medical centres
Control every door
Through which we must enter
Under the old guise to: Rationalize, Objectivize-Privatize-Fanticize Harmonize-Economize-Democratize?
All new right lies
Iron out the kinks (that’s us)
They want to celebrate
Their invasion of 1788
The whiplash on each convict’s back
The theft of our land
From each black woman and man
Power is their passion
Their sexist, racist system stinks
They seek to celebrate subjugation
And their imperialist colonial links
If your a workin’ class woman
If you socialist, unemployed or black
If you support redistribution of wealth
We’re under Attack-Attack-Attack
From this system’s new right
Who worship power and might
Who wanta purge the ‘pinks’
And anyone who thinks
If your socialist, unemployed or black
If you support redistribution of wealth
We’re under Attack-Attack-Attack
From this system’s new right
Who worship power and might
Who wanta purge the ‘pinks’
An’ anyone who thinks
"Be born, be silent, consume and die"
We can shatter this cycle
If we collectively try
Attack-Attack-Attack fight back
We gotta go through the window
The new rights locked the door
Like an expo landlord
They keep the powerless poor
We pay our P.A.Y.E taxes
So the elite and the yuppie D.I.N.K.S
Can drink champagne – eat caviar
See how they think?
It’s easy to see
What this new right’s doin’
Control our destiny
An’ collapse our Unions

Abolish our free medical centres
