ANOTHER SPANNER IN THE WORKS

We're all living in a fantasy, pushing stones up hills for our enemies, such a waste of energy
How can I get you to see that your life is empty even though you have plenty, it's time to break free
From the ideas that you were taught in school, your compliance helps them to rule
Over your every action that you take, they don't have to control you, because you control yourself
Your mind is there for the taking, your body up for rent, your sweat and toil creates wealth
For the greedy to play with, while we neglect the needy, leave them to fend for themselves
You spin hours into nothing, just keep on consuming, it's little wonder mental health
Problems are on the rise, depression, alienation, it's all written into the mainframe of the system
Society doesn't give a fuck about us, brainwashed from the start, we are all it's victims
But we're not gonna take it anymore, we're gonna stop being whores, it's time to get even


Throw another spanner in the works, this current state of affairs is oh so fucking absurd
We've got a circus freak show to disturb, politicians mincing turds with their dishonest words
Take another leap of faith, we can change our sorry ways, put our collective power on display
For all the slimy pricks to see, have them feeling slightly queasy and extremely uneasy
Throw another spanner in the works, diversity of tactics and party tricks, whatever works
We've got an entire parliament to bring to their knees, yes we'll storm in and do as we damn well please

We keep such obnoxious company, playing with our phones, adorning our yuppie homes
With more gadgets than one could ever need, the obsession we continue to feed, sewing more seeds
Of greed, as we fail to heed the words of Jesus, all his teachings simply leave us
We spectate warring factions pretending to have different policies, but really in bed with the same enemy
As we invest so much energy into maintaining our apathy over which party we ought to vote for
All politicians are the same, so generalise the lumpeproletariat: lying, cheating, scamming bores
I, for one, would tend to agree, they do not represent you and me, but support sponsors of the party
Those fat cats who scratch each other's backs, getting the mighty Strayan economy back on track
Politicians on both sides rubber stamping corporate crimes, watching their buddies gladly step out on line
And we wonder why we are so cynical and far from being hysterical come election time

Throw another spanner in the works, this current state of affairs is oh so fucking absurd
We've got a circus freak show to disturb, politicians mincing turds with their dishonest words
Take another leap of faith, we can change our sorry ways, put our collective power on display
For all the slimy pricks to see, have them feeling slightly queasy and extremely uneasy
Throw another spanner in the works, diversity of tactics and party tricks, whatever works

We've got an entire parliament to bring to their knees, yes we'll storm in and do as we damn well please

We devote all our time and energy to trivial pursuits, such as watching sports on the big screen TV
Almost to the point of religious fervour and gaiety, football offers up plenty for all worshippers to see
Mere distractions from the bigger picture: our collective failure to have our voices heard by power
So we bow down as if it were the sound we like to hear when in fact our bitterness is well renowned
We are the malcontents, no longer willing to take shit, oh yes, we are so discontent, it's not funny
If only we were to unite, we could make scaredy cats out of our enemies and have them running
The power we could possess would be simply stunning, too much for words to be able to express
As we put people power to its litmus test, make the bastards confess and be accountable to the rest
It could be the beginning of something quite beautiful, much better than feeling helpless and pitiful
More than merely helpless animals, unable to decide our own fates, finally theres's spice in the crucible

Throw another spanner in the works, this current state of affairs is oh so fucking absurd
We've got a circus freak show to disturb, politicians mincing turds with their dishonest words
Take another leap of faith, we can change our sorry ways, put our collective power on display
For all the slimy pricks to see, have them feeling slightly queasy and extremely uneasy
Throw another spanner in the works, diversity of tactics and party tricks, whatever works

We've got an entire parliament to bring to their knees, yes we'll storm in and do as we damn well please
