| Crass - Punk Is Dead |
 |
Yes that's right punk is dead..... all about
the old days.
Punk Is Dead.
Yes that's right, punk is dead,
It's just another cheap product for the
consumers head.
Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors,
Schoolboy sedition backed by big time
promoters.
CBS promote the Clash,
But it ain't for revolution, it's just for
cash.
Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to
be
And it ain't got a thing to do with you or
me.
Movements are systems and systems kill.
Movements are expressions of the public will.
Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost,
But the leaders sold out and now we all pay
the cost.
Punk narcissism was social napalm,
Steve Jones started doing real harm.
Preaching revolution, anarchy and change
As he sucked from the system that had given
him his name.
Well I'm tired of staring through shit
stained glass,
Tired of staring up a superstars arse,
I've got an arse and crap and a name,
I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame.
Steve Jones you're napalm,
If you're so pretty (vacant) why do you
swarm?
Patti Smith you're napalm,
You write with your hand but it's Rimbaud's
arm.
And me, yes I, do I want to burn?
Is there something I can learn?
Do I need a business man to promote my angle?
Can I resist the carrots that fame and
fortune dangle?
I see the velvet zippies in their bondage
gear,
The social elite with safety-pins in their
ear,
I watch and understand that it don't mean a
thing,
The scorpions might attack, but the systems
stole the sting.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.
PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD.

Watch the high quality clip or buy the
complete 65 minute documentary 'Crass:
There's No Authority But Yourself' online at:
http://www.minimovies.org
If you don't know Crass, you don't know punk.
The Sex Pistols and The Clash sold their
souls to big record labels, but Crass always
stayed true to their anti-corporate ideals.
And guess what, Crass is still around. They
live in a commune just outside of London
named 'Dial House'- a safe haven for those
individuals of principle who still live by
the old punk slogan 'Do it yourself'.
Filmmaker Alexander Oey made a filmic
portrait about this last Punk stronghold
called 'Crass: There's No Authority About
Yourself'.
This film is a Minimovie. With the MiniMovies
project, SubmarineChannel explores a new
narrative and visual style of documentary
filmmaking.

| Crass - Banned From The Roxy |
 |
mixture of live and still images from the
anarchist band Crass with the background
music of Banned from the roxy from feeding of
the 5000 mini album.
Banned From The Roxy.
Banned from the Roxy... O.K.
I never much liked playing there anyway.
They said they only wanted well behaved boys,
Do they think guitars and microphones are
just fucking toys?
Fuck 'em, I chosen to make my stand,
Against what I feel is wrong with this land.
They just sit there on their overfed arses,
Feeding off the sweat of less fortunate
classes.
They keep their fucking power cause their
finger's on the button,
They've got control and won't let it be
forgotten.
The truth of their reality is at the wrong
end of a gun,
The proof of that is Belfast and that's no
fucking fun.
Seeing the squaddy lying in the front yard,
Seeing the machine guns resting on the fence.
Finding the entrance to your own front door
is barred
And they've got the fucking nerve to call it
defence.
Seems their defence is just the threat of
strength,
Protection for the privileged at any length.
The government protecting their profits from
the poor,
The rich and the fortunate chaining up the
door.
Afraid that the people may ask for a little
more
Than the shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
DEFENCE? SHIT, IT'S NOTHING LESS THEN WAR
AND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT THE
FUCK IT'S FOR.
Oh yes they say it's defence, they say it's
decency,
Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean?
The same fucking lies with depressing
frequency,
They say "We had to do it to keep our lives
clean"
Well whose like? Whose fucking life?
Who the fuck are they talking to?
Whose life? Whose fucking life?
I tell you one thing, it ain't me and you.
And their system, christ, they're everywhere,
School, army, church, corporation deal.
A fucked up reality based on fear,
A fucking conspiracy to stop you feeling
real.
Well ain't got me, I'd say their fucking
wrong,
I ain't quite ready with my gun, but I've got
my song...
Banned from the Roxy, well O.K.
I never much liked playing there anyway.
GUNS.

| Crass - Nagasaki Nightmare |
 |
footage of the bombing of Nagasaki 9th August
1945, and pictures of the victims set to the
music of Crass song Nagasaki Nightmare. Lest
We Forget.
Nagasaki Nightmare.
They're always there high in the skies...
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Pretty as a picture in the generals' eyes
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
They've done it once, they'll do it again
They'll shower us all in their deadly rain
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Fishing children fish in the Imperial Waters
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Sons and lovers, lovers and daughters
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Cherry Blossom hanging on the cherry blossom
tree
Flash, blinding flash, then there's nothing
to see
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Dying they're still dying, one by one
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Darkness in the land of the rising sun
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Lesson learnt the lesson? No, cos no one
really cares
It's so easy to be silent just to cover up
your fears
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
So they die in the nightmare, nightmare,
nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
And live with the nightmare, nightmare,
nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Will you stand by and let it happen again?
Nightmare death in the deadly rain
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Live with the nightmare, nightmare,
nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
And die in the nightmare, nightmare,
nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Nightmare comes in deadly rain
Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare, rain
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki nightmare
Manmade power, manmade pain, Nagasaki
nightmare
Deadly rain, deadly rain, Nagasaki nightmare
They'll do it again, shower us in rain
Deadly, deadly, deadly rain
Nagasaki nightmare, Nagasaki Nightmare

Crass - Big A Little A, the B-Side to
Nagasaki Nightmare single.
Big A Little a
Big A, little A, bouncing B
The system might have got you but it won't
get me
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
External control are you gonna let them get
you?
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries
they set you?
You say you want to ba yourself, by christ do
you think they'll let you?
They're out to get you get you get you get
you get you get you get you
Hello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God,
can you hear?
Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for
you down there
On earth I have ambassadors, archbishop,
vicar, pope
We'll blind you with morality, you'd best
abandon any hope,
We're telling you you'd better pray cos you
were born in sin
Right from the start we'll build a cell and
then we'll lock you in
We sit in holy judgement condemning those
that stray
We offer our forgiveness, but first we'll
make you pay
External control are you gonna let them get
you?
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries
they set you?
You say you want to be yourself, by christ do
you think they'll let you?
They're out to get you get you get you get
you get you get you get you
Hello, hello, hello, now here's a massage
from your queen
As figurehead of the status quo I set the
social scene
I'm most concerned about my people, I want to
give them peace
So I'm making sure they stay in line with my
army and police
My prisons and my mental homes have ever open
doors
For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask
for more
Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't
allow
So I'll see the peasants grovel if they
refuse to bow
External control are you gonna let them get
you?
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries
they set you?
You say you want to be yourself, by christ do
you think they'll let you?
They're out to get you get you get you get
you get you get you get you
Introducing the Prime Sinister, she's a
mother to us all
Like the dutch boy's finger in the dyke her
arse is in the wall
Holding back the future waiting for the seas
to part
If Moses did it with is faith, she'll do it
with an army
Who at times of threatened crisis are certain
to be there
Guarding national heritage no matter what or
where
Palaces for kings and queens, mansions for
the rich
Protection for the wealthy, defence of
privilege
They've learnt the ropes In Ireland, engaged
in civil war
Fighting for the ruling classes in their
battle against the poor
So Ireland's just an island? It's an island
of the mind
Great Britain? Future? Bollocks, you'd better
look behind
Round every other corner stands P.C. 1984
Guardian of the future, he'll implement the
law
He's there as a grim reminder that no matter
what you do
Big brothers system's always there with his
beady eyes on you
From God to local bobby, in home and street
and school
They've got your name and number while you've
just got their rule
We've got to look for methods to undermine
those powers
It's time to change the tables. The future
must be ours
Big A, little A, bouncing B
The system might have got you but it won't
get me
Be exactly who you want to be, do what you
want to do
I am he and she is she but you're the only
you
No one else has got your eyes, can see the
things you see
It's up to you to change your life and my
life's up to me
The problems that you suffer from are
problems that you make
The shit we have to climb through is the shit
we choose to take
If you don't like the life you live, change
it now it's yours
Nothing has effects if you don't recognise
the cause
If the programme's not the one you want, get
up, turn off the set
It's only you that can decide what life
you're gonna get
If you don't like religion you can be the
antichrist
If your tired of politics you can be an
anarchist
But no one ever changed the church by pulling
down a steeple
And you'll never change the system by bombing
number ten
Systems just aren't made of bricks they're
mostly made of people
You may send them into hiding, but they'll be
back again
If you don't like the rules they make, refuse
to play their game
If you don't want to be a number, don't give
them your name
If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to
hear their question
Silence is a virtue, use it for your own
protection
They'll try to make you play their game,
refuse to show your face
If you don't want to be beaten down, refuse
to join their race
Be exactly who you want to be, do what you
want to do
I am he and she is she but you're they only
you
