PRIMAL SCREAM
"2013"
(Bobby Gillespie / Andrew Innes)

21st century slaves, a peasant underclass
Television, propoganda, fear, how long will this shit last?
Punk rock came and went and nothing changed, was it just a pose?
Every generation buys the lie just like the one before bought and sold
What happened to the voices of dissent getting rich I guess
Become part of the establishment, power corrupts the best
They killed the counter-culture underground, it offers no critique
No revolutionary spirit left, they've sanitised the freaks

It's the final solution to teenage revolution
The total subjugation of the rock and roll nation
Inducted, corrupted, seduced and reduced
Deluded, excluded, shackled and hooded
2013, 2013, 2013, 2013

Soldier boys dying in the war, hear their mothers cry
The chairman of the board of B.P./Shell are guilty of war crimes
Thatcher's children make their millions, hey, remember Robespierre!
Guilty of complicity is guilt, what are we doing here?

It's the final solution to teenage revolution
The total subjugation of the rock and roll nation
Inducted, corrupted, seduced and reduced
Deluded, excluded, shackled and hooded
2013, 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013, 2013

Make a pact with prostitution, sow disorder in the family
You speak of love, you speak of colours
You fear in others what you fear in yourself
You hate in others what you lack in yourself
Souls in chains (the underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (the underground horses are rising)
Souls in chains (the underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (the underground horses are rising)
Souls in chains (the underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (the underground horses are rising)
Souls in chains (the underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (the underground horses are rising)

Equalized, normalized, sanitized, lobotomized
Equalized, normalized, sanitized, lobotomized
Equalized, normalized, sanitized, lobotomized
Equalized, normalized, sanitized, lobotomized
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, open your eyes
