Poison in your kitchen
Blind men at the wheel
Parasites in your pockets
To invest is to steal
Down at the job centre
They’ve struck a new deal
To make you fight your neighbour
Just to get your next meal
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
Liars in the papers
Thieves at the banks
Racists on the radio
The rich are buying tanks
Those liars own the papers
Those thieves run the banks
The rapists on the radio
They all demand your thanks
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
Vampires at the blood banks
Youth is suicide
Everyone on tranquillisers
It’s the new thalidomide
Microphones have silenced you
Those cameras made you blind
History repeats itself
Fashionable genocide
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil
You’re between the hammer and the anvil

Dead on the Shelf

You lose your friends and your family
The ones that tell you that you’re all you need to be
You lose yourself in what you find to be right
You blunt your teeth on what you fight
You tilt at windmills, you strike at your heart
To jam the treadmill, to upend the apple cart
Bash the bosses, damn the cost
Kill the victors now, bless the lost
Left with nothing now, you’re alone
You beg for favours, you beg for home
You curse your own complicity
As you lose identity
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead on the shelf
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead
You’re dead, you’re dead, you’re dead
