Enemy of the Music Business
Abstinence works for me, not for them Intolerance. Far worse things? This makes no sense Get high on me and mine Taste the poison Raise a voice? The art of making noise Attacking stance? Fist in face for personal choice So witless? Self, self, self! Taste the poison Two polluting lifestyle doctrines in defense Re-assess the threats to well-being Re-direct And clear your heads Dialogue (is a) powerful drug? (Not) verbal poison Abstinence works for me, not for them Intolerance. Far worse things? This makes no sense Taste the poison

Next on the list? Such a smug parasite Snug in the comfort zone We stepped back and watched while you violated Our effects, our spirits, our souls Opportunist scum? Think you're so immune? Opportunist scum? We yearn to see you removed Opportunist scum? Truly spineless cunt Opportunist scum? Basks in his loathsome glow Where once I was passive, I'm ready to snap A pound of flesh for those that you've taken That smiling surround can't shield you forever When it slips, we'll be there to fuck your world! A slap in the face A slap in the face Don't turn your back, don't lower your guard Or assume you're safe amongst fellow sharks 'cause when I catch that patronizing smirk (It) strengthens my will to smash your worthless bulk A slap in the face A slap in the face A slap in the face Goodbye to logic for this necessary justice Goodbye to logic for this necessary justice

Everything fits nicely into place Higher powers take the lead Middleman sits pondering his worth One great scheme to stem (the) objective urge Decision-making And power playing One-upmanship Show of hands To clasp the myth Vote in a new scourge Everything fits nicely into place Higher powers take the lead Issues are decided before we've chance to think And moral high ground wins the day again Decision-making And power playing Principles spurned Show of hands To clasp the myth Favors for my friends It's a constitutional hell Where they pontificate and yell Where etiquette outplays integrity It's a constitutional hell It's a constitutional hell Where mere pennies are thrown to the plebs Expenditure on hollow conjecture It's a constitutional hell Everything fits nicely into place Higher powers take the lead Sleeping giants show their real worth I'll sum up on all the good you've done this earth Nothing! Nothing!

The rats on this earth have nothing on you An insult to those which crawl the sewers Devourer, plunderer, deceptor Sniff out a scheme and leave the scraps behind Voracious, insatiable? A nose attuned to greed Devourer, plunderer, deceptor Evade all traps And come out gnashing, snarling, gnashing, snarling! Disguises are many Media pawn or man on the street They'll scavenge your emotions And leave you diseased They'd steal a last possession And smile as you concede Devourer, plunderer, deceptor

Speculate freely Begrudge me intensely Lacking a conscience Lacking intelligence Lesser than nothing Lower than everything As you drain our vitality To a mundane reality A form of therapy Without compensation A vague psychology Free from obligation Intercept the negligence Accept the consequence Amongst Barbaria Mass hysteria Opposite in a sign to abide When the future is ours to decide We continue to watch and observe Just to find out what purpose it serves Paralyzed? A spectacle for all to see Happiness within our grasp, but out of reach Volume of neglect Forcibly expressed Volume of neglect Forcibly expressed Devastate a silhouette? Calm and serene Abandon a systematic insane routine Volume of neglect Forcibly expressed Volume of neglect Forcibly expressed Opposite in a sign to abide When the future is ours to decide We continue to watch and observe Just to find out what purpose it serves Volume of neglect? Volume, volume Volume of neglect? Volume, volume
Serve my head on a plate Pulp my heart with ill will I did trust you, led to lust you, to be duped Thanks for fucking nothing! Serve my head on a plate Pulp my heart with ill will Sensed a mystique, turned to spent air? Killed it dead Thanks for fucking nothing! Scraped the depths to salvage something Thanks for fucking nothing! Drained my all, then dropped the bombshell True, we were not joined? Our every feature spliced Though you rushed in and took a lead Three words spouted This contagion Crossed all divides Caused a shift in protective focus Three words flouted Untimely end, I should've clicked? A sensory cut-out A spoiling of the harmony, of which we were about I don't despise or demonize, but I just know your form Walk right out and move along, and leap before you look Thanks for fucking nothing!

Ten years Of all-sides sniping Fairness under fire Ten long years Rubbished objectives Two-pronged shower of bile Dirt is now scrubbed From our own doorstep But around every corner Hides a high roller Suited And heftily booted So casual and concerned Network Make the acquaintance Dance to soulless tunes Dirt is now scrubbed From our own doorstep But around every corner Hides a high roller, roller Get this prick away from me! Smash him and the leeching clique Fawning grin that pulls you in Fawning grin that pulls you in Golden handshake on the take Golden handshake on the take Get this prick away from me Get this prick away (We're) Enemies of the music business You corporate fuck! Enemies of the music business Black sheep on the cusp Enemies of the music business Enemies of the music business Ten years Still didn't finish us Much to their disdain Ten long years Regained the impetus Thorns in the cash-whores' side Dirt is now scrubbed From our own doorstep But around every corner Hides a high roller, roller

Blunt on the cutting edge! This is stylistic disaster Or so I'm told Won't meet your estimations Do well to fold Can't keep up (To the) dummy run Am I redundant?

So drawn? I warm to the fire in their hearts This ain't romantic gesturing It's a hand to head the charge To the indifference of the preening, idle rich Such champions are cancerous? Tumors in the gut of affluent bliss Why let these scab observers tag them trouble makers? It's naïve? You're on a leash This is a cure for their common complaint This is a cure for their common complaint Ditch the gullibility Strike 'til the green runs dry Bring them to their knees Or squander as they thrive Reject the cure for their common complaint Reject the cure for their common complaint On break Agitate! Hoist those standards, arm in arm Walk the walk and talk the talk Agitate! Agitate! Agitate!

Tiresome, out-grown, rebel's seen the light Re-adjusted? Disowned his staunch defiance The Antichrist shifts to the right He wears his 'X' and reviles mine Music to righteous ears Music to righteous ears Music to righteous ears Music to righteous ears Moved out of step - seeking distorted views Slack-brained sound bites serve his public slop Decries our values in decline But should we starve, then that's just fine Knee-jerk reactionary Knee-jerk reactionary The Antichrist shifts to the right His past a convenient oversight Knee-jerk reactionary Knee-jerk reactionary Decries our values in decline He'd flick the switch and watch us fry Watch us fry Watch us fry Watch us fry

Cloaks of sickness keeping us sweet Delusional blackness, fictional madness Visionary blackness, traps are set Revolving mind-doors conspiring our downfall Which came first? The lies or deceit? Why did the suffering cross the divide? The dealer sold his soul to hide And left us on the other side The business lessons for which we burn Desolate loops in which we turn Saga of fools, a voyage of trust No contracts bound, gathering dust Which came first? The secret or the crime? Where does the loyalty cross the line? The dealer sold his soul to hide And left us on the other side Tranquilize our denial Vengeance is mine Capitalize on regret Kick aside what aspires Vengeance is ours Our defense won't expire Eat the shit with a smile, don't be frail Our word is bond Face the wall; fill the mold that we take And break with our hands Sign the line; it's your life Don't be squeamish Take the time, taste the sweat Choke back your tongue Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics of deceit Glorified, butchered, bathed in malice Sign the line; it's your life Don't be squeamish Take the time, taste the sweat Choke back your tongue Eat the shit with a smile, don't be frail Our word is bond Face the wall; fill the mold that we take And break with our hands Mechanics Mechanics Mechanics of deceit Tranquilize our denial Vengeance is mine Capitalize on regret Kick aside what aspires Vengeance is ours Our defense won't expire - so beware!

Name your price for progress Impoverished settle the bill Clear a path - coming through! Clear a path - coming through! Stylize Making it easy on the eye Keep our distance - too under-formed to grace the 'sublime' Flatter to deceive Building arthouse cosmetics Like a mismatched prosthetic Like a mismatched prosthetic Spreads like wildfire Burgeoning yuppie nirvana Highbrow aesthetics Decadents always crave more Marvel at the sleek design The wilting talk of curves and lines A pièce de résistance To banish my pig-ignorance The public gets what the public doesn't want What use is this to man or beats It glosses over basic needs The public gets what the public doesn't want Access denied? We're utter philistines Access denied? We're utter philistines Caged in the exclusion zone Pass away in sepia tones The public gets what the public doesn't want Access denied? Accept we're cultural slime Access denied? Accept we're cultural slime Access denied?

Battered frantic, dressed in tragedy Reach the point where time's caught up? Why me? Paths we choose, the sorrows we cause It's all forgotten instantly as pain calls Just a fracture In the equation of designs Self-destructure Drawing out life Neutral unknown, a nervous calm Answers tactically arranged? Stalling time Just a fracture In the equation of designs Self-destructure Drawing on life Second chance
