Primal Scream – 2013 lyrics

21st century slaves
A peasant underclass
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 & reduced
Deluded, excluded
Shackled and hooded

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 & reduced
Deluded, exluded
Shakled and hooded

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
Souls in pain
Souls in chains
Souls in pain

The underground horses are rising
The underground horses are rising
The underground horses are rising
The underground horses are rising
