Selling jesus |
You kill me with your smelly fingers
Your smelly fingers from the sex you had on Christmas Day
And now you say you're feeling guilty
You're feeling guilty 'cos your god was shining on your face
You go to church and light a candle
And then you're blinded by the light from the golden pews
The devil's snapping at your toes now
Because the angels can't be bothered to live to you
They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love
You're buying this you're buying that now
You're wishing all the money in the world belonged to you
You're crucified upon you're own cross now
You're givin' money to the white men in the white limo
That kind of god is always man-made
They made him up then wrote a book to keep you on your kness
They get their theories from the same place
Then build a church if there's some money left
From lying on the beach
They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love
They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love

Intellectualise my blackness |
I hit him with a piece of his philosophy
Anglo-Saxon muck in his type of greed
What did he do to deserve such hate
(He tried to) intellectualise my blackness
He tried to summerize, to institualise
Still I could recognize, he was materialized
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, save me
He's always tryin' to make up for his little slips
The joke about the nigga and the yellow nip
Then he tells me I'm so different from those other shits
(When he tries to) intellectualise my blackness
He tried to summerize, to institualise
Still I could recognize, he was materialized
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, save me
Motherfucker don't you lecture-rise me
Don't you ever try to lecturize me
Motherfucker don't you lecture-rise me
Oh No
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, save me
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, save me
He tried to intellectualise my blackness
To make it easier for his whiteness
He tried to intellectualise my blackness, save me

I can dream |
I'll be your sailor girl
I'll tip my cap to your parade
Life won't be dreary no
I'll be the waves inside your bed
Pain is your beauty
It hurts the vision in your eyes
Your eyes are smiling now
They watch me cry, they watch me die, watch me die
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
My saviour, my darling
Your eyes seep through me
You think you hate the way I mince
I'm screwing yours dreams now
So cynical at your expense
Oh what a sacrafice
All of my dreams will melt away
So who's so special now
No one's more special, more than me, more than me
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
I can dream, I can dream
I can love, I can love
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
My darling, my saviour
My darling, my saviour

All in the name of pity |
I smoked the shit that made you love
Drowned all your problems like a wife
Blanked out your anger with my face
Wasted my days to hide disgrace
I did it all, did it all
All in the name of pity
You loved to taunt me with your sex
Kicked up the memory in my head
Watch my neurosis building up
Swallowed the truth your mind forgot
You did it all, did it all
All in the name of pity
You did it all, did it all
All in the name of pity
In the name of pity
In the name of pity
In the name of pity
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why
You tried and tried to use my life
To keep your aggresion trivalized
Never an ego in control
(But) now who's the shit that sold his soul
You did it all, did it all
In the name of pity
You did it all, did it all
In the name
You did it all, did it all
In the name of pity
In the name of pity
In the name of pity

Charity |
Why do I sense, benevolence
You stand tall at my great expense
Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay
Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
Why does your world keep burying
Gorging much deeper, than it's ever been
Rubbing still harder, salt on my hurt
Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
You pity me with your tasteless gestures
Gratitude for kind
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a clic |
Save me from critical acclaim
Save my smile its' too cracked from fame
Wish me well with my fantasy
Feel my arrogance with your sanity
Wash me oh so painfully clean
Disect my words with a fist full of your dreams
Build me up and strike me down please
Sign my name, sign my name
It takes blood and guts to be this cool
But I'm still, just a cliche
It takes blood and guts to be this cool
But I'm still, just a cliche
Just a cliche, just a cliche
Just a cliche, just a cliche
Colour my views in red, white and blue
I'm wide awake now, wide awake now
I kiss you, I kiss you, but I'm falling down
And all my friends are crowding around
They're crowding around looking down to see
But all they can see is me, me, me
So blow me away now, with your screwed up mind
There's no charm left now, for you to find
It takes blood and guts to be this cool
But I'm still, just a cliche
It takes blood and guts to be this cool
But I'm still, just a cliche
Just a cliche, just a cliche
Just a cliche, just a cliche
I see you, you see me
And who the hell am I supposed to be
I don't care now but I know that I should
Wasting away like you knew I would
It takes blood and guts to be this cool
But I'm still, still
It takes blood and guts to be this cool
But I'm still, still
It takes blood and guts to be this cool
But I'm still, just a cliche
Just a cliche, just a cliche
Just a cliche, just a cliche

Weak |
Lost in time I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
'cos I wanted you
And now I sit here I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war
'cos I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
Weak as I am
So what am I now I'm love last home
I'm all of the soft words I once owned
If I opened my he heart, there'd be no space for air
'cos I wanted you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
Weak as I am
In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you
In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you
In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am, am, am
Weak as I am
Am I to much for you
Weak as I am
Am I to much for you
Weak as I am
Am I to much for you
Weak as I am
Am I to much for you
Weak as I am

And here I stand |
And here I stand, redskin fist of power
Clawing at the stains of racism
It turns to black, cos you're so very credible
But you keep losing track
'cos You don't, my colour in your melting pot of love
Where everybody is brown
So here I stand, knee deep in your soiled heritage
That's so charmingly underground
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here we stand, I'm looking at my sad, sad eyes
They slowly turn at rage
Oh what a shame, I can't contain my basic nigga-rage
And lust for violence
So here we are, the cry goes out for war
London's east end burning to the ground
So here we stand, blackened fist of power
Same old scarred-up-faces we condemn
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
So here I stand, stand s-t-a-n-d
My nigga-rage, nigga-rage
nigga-rage, nigga-rage
nigga-rage, rage
nigga-rage, rage
rage, rage, rage

100 ways to be a good girl |
I caused a major war, just by talking
You flew into a rage, 'cos that's everything you know
Childhood of violence, filled with heartage
I flew into a rage, 'cos that's everything I know
I know 100 ways to be a good girl
100 ways, my willingness to please
I know 100 ways to be a good girl
Still I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
Sheilding from unexpected fury
Frightened survivor in my world too shy to see
Softly I spoke, softly I'm dying
Crushed by your power, by my wilingness to bleed
I know 100 ways to be a good girl
100 ways, my willingness to please
I know 100 ways to be a good girl
Still I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
Crucify me with isolation
Crucify me-whoa-inside my private hell
I know 100 ways to be a good girl
100 ways, my willingness to please
I know 100 ways to be a good girl
Still I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
I'm alone, I'm alone
100 ways
100 ways
100 ways
100 ways
I know 100 ways to be a good girl
Because you wanted me
Because you wanted me
But I didn't want you
Crucify me

Rise up |
You're too cool to be smart, but that is what you are
You're too sane to be hard, but that is what you are
You're too sad to be high, but that is what you are
You don't have to run
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
We're losing our convictions
You're too wise to be cool, but that is what you are
You're too deep to be good, but that is what you are
You're too weak to be sold, but that is what you are
You don't have to run
And you don't have to hide
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
We're losing our convictions
You're losing all of your convictions
Your integrity slowly watered down
Never mind your soul destruction
Nevermind, nevermind, nevermind it all
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
You got to rise up, sweet woman child
You got to rise up
Oh lord when you feel it in the air
Oh lord when you feel like you wanne cry
Oh lord when you love the one you're with
