Keep bangin on the walls
Keep bangin on the walls
OF FORTRESS EUROPE!

2022 -A new European order
Robot guards patrolling the border
Cybernetic dogs are getting closer and closer
Armoured cars and immigration officers
A burning village in Kosovo
You bombed it out now you're telling us go home
Machine guns strut on the cliffs of Dover
Heads down people look out! we're going over
Burnin up! can we survive re-entry
Past the mines and the cybernetic sentries
Safe european homes built on wars
You don't like the effect don't produce the cause
The chip is in your head not on my shoulder
Total control just around the corner
Open up the floodgates Time's nearly up
Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe

Keep bangin
Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe
We got a right, know the situation
We're the children of globalisation
No borders only true connection
Light the fuse of the insurrection
This generation has no nation
Grass roots pressure the only solution
We're sitting tight
Cos assylum is a right
Put an end to this confusion
Dis is a 21st century Exodus
Dis is a 21st century Exodus

Burnin' up can we survive re-entry
Past the landmines and cybernetic sentries
Plane, train, car , ferry boat or bus
The future is bleeding coming back at us
The chip is in your head not on my shoulder
Total control around the corner
Open up the floodgates Time's nearly up
Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe

Keep bangin
Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe
This is a 21st century Exodus
This is a 21st century Exodus

They got a right - listen not to the scaremonger
Who doesn't run when they're feel the hunger
From where to what to when to here to there
People caught up in red tape nightmare
Break out of the detention centres
Cut the wires and tear up the vouchers
People get ready it's time to wake up
Tear down the walls of Fortress Europe
Il tuo voto:
Time is a ticking so you'd better start linking
Energies surging vision is blurring
Maybe you're feeling you're not up to scratch
Maybe you're feeling that now you've met your match
You find it hard to know where to begin
When Discontent is spreading its wings
Stand by your belief and have faith in this sound
You know that you can always turn it around
Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy
Listen to the sweet melody
Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE!
Keep Risin you know we rinse on
Turn negative to positiveWith a natural vibe
Believe in yourself and rinse out the mind
The tongue and the hand moving different directions
Turn dis disconnection into interconnection
Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy
Listen to the sweet melody
Feel the rhythm and its healing remedy
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE!
How can you live your life with no enthusiasm
Or else you fall so deep
Rearrange all the thoughts you like to hold back
Jump across the track
Cos we on the attack
Il tuo voto:
A scream a shout far in the distance
Maybe the first or second floor
Curtains colouring the windows
Never see behind closed doors
A silent siege behind politeness
Domestic harmony for show
Lost in the mirage of a marriage
Outside a world she'll never know

And as I see through the real you
I'm falling straight into
A thousand broken Mirrors
I can't hide
And outside the bright lights
Can't hide the pain inside
And I've broken a thousand mirrors
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time

Loving her children with a passion
Protecting them at any cost
Taking the only course of action
There's no more bridges left to cross
Who are the ones that are the guilty?
Who are the ones that bear the scar?
We must not leave our sisters bleeding
We sing this song for Tsoora Shah
And as I see through the real you
I'm falling Straight into
A thousand broken Mirrors
I can't hide
And outside the bright lights
Can't hide the pain inside
And I've broken a thousand mirrors
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time
Now it's time
Il tuo voto:
Step Back from the Blow Back
Plans that were hatched with the strings still attached
See there's always a catch When you're livin' thru a blow back
You're wonderin' why you need places to hide
Keep one eye to the sky when you're waiting for the blowback
Sink into the mud watch out for the scud
Cos oil is thicker than blood in the world of blowback
From ally to madman from client to badman
From Gommorah to Sadaam Starring in the blowback
Invisible sins Invisible Kings
The shit we're in gonna drown in the spin
Permanent warfare
Burning up welfare
Add up add up
Their share of the hardware
Rights disposed of
Government gloves off
Flick of the wrist
Summary justice
Feel the kiss of the U.S. fist
Hollywood, Hollywood tinsel this
Fanning the flames of fanatical fervour
One bad turn always deserves another
Covert and subvert and secret operation
Still sufferin the conequence of active inaction
Tunnelling through mountains building networks of caves
$40 billion dollars for 40,000 graves
Collateral damage and friendly fire
Talking the talk of the undercover empire
(live and direct from the undercover empire)
What's the rules of engagement
What's the price of containment
Can we come to an arrangement
Make a buck off the blowback
They don't know about this flow
Watch the pipe line and oil show
It's McWorld and fries to go
Starring in the blowback
One-sided triangle
squarin' the circle
Pentagonal diagonal
Caught out in the Blowback
Is it really all over
Are we living in endtime
Don't we know that there's no time
STEP BACK FROM THE BLOWBACK
Control we now have air superiority
Their only plane was the one we sold them last week
As leaflets, food parcels explode into nails
Bush chokes on a pretzel and Clinton exhales
Sayin' Cool down India cool down Pakistan
Here comes your new billion dollar air squadron
Laying down a pipeline through Kazakstan
This ends this broadcast live from ABSURDISTAN
Live and direct from London, Absurdistan
Il tuo voto:
My ears are burning, my back has started to bleed
I've noticed you only contact me when I've got some weed
And when I'm in need to help you with something you need to do
I must have been a fool cos now I see the real you
You couldn't even look me in the eye
I knew something was wrong you can't justify -it's all lies
Telling me other's business and telling me how they be
Come to think about it you could be doing it to me
The pieces of the puzzle are now fitting into place
I know what kind of person you are you're a disgrace
I don't hold a grudge even though what you did
I just can't trust you with absolutely anything
If I see you it just hi and bye keep going my way
Cos I've got things to do, I've got bills to pay
I've had enough of your two faced company
And that's the way its going to be my friend welcome to reality
Remember the times it was cold outside
Everyone said blurt but I said na come to mind
Hours and hours of blazin', feel fine
Did you think your parents would allow it at that time
I didn't think so well now you know how
It was growing up with ungrateful brothers about
Makes me wanna scream, makes me wanna shout
Ask what I did for them and their mind blacks out
Day by day pushin me away others them a turn
Others stayed tried to relate
To make me see I was wrong no its too late
Back biting, street fighting it the mess that was made
Great I spent half my life with you guys
Now you want to cut and rush me in front of my mothers eyes
I don't know why you did it and you was high
Two face people die twice no lie
To all them a boy them a liar liar
With their mouths on fire they say it's human nature
They are playing with lives
Slowly burning wire
You'd better be aware cos in the end you'll suffer
Two Face, two bait when it's written on your face
Two fake, too straight when your out on the estate
After all the lies you've gone and spread about me
You put on your disguise and go on like we're sweet
Who needs enenies when you've got brothers like these
They be smiling when they're with you
But you know it's full of cheese
Oh please who else be trying to eat up our cake
Your'e two, you're two, you're two face
Cos they're the masters of deception
They wanna bring you down
Your phone keeps ringing taking you for a clown
The threats keep coming make you wanna leave town
Not before you find out who's behind this showdown
Your best friends been makin others real mad
You're tellin this dude eveything and now it's real sad
He's rollin with your enemies and now they seem glad
They know all they need and got their pen to the pad
So why do they do what they do against you
Fake arsed brothers you're life they want to screw
It's true when I say all they want is attention
To satisfy their needs with no consideration
To all those people who've got more than one face
You better be on your defense cos now were on the case
The mace that you sprayed has been cleared from my eyes
What comes around goes around you better realize
Chorus 2

They come down your home pretend to be your mate
But deep inside their souls it's just you that they hate
And whenever you were hungry you placed food on their plate
And any time they were in trouble
You always helped them escape
Indirect or direct they try to put you down
Put you down, low down, way down
Underground with no sound
And all the bullshit that they talk
They can't just even hold down
With their mouth full of rubbish
They try to spread around

Two face two bait
Two straight cos man your two fake
Every time we come around you know we penetrate
Every time you come around we must eliminate
Il tuo voto:
Enemy of the Enemy is a Friend (Til he's the enemy again)
Babylon is really burning this time
coming home to roost on a Soviet landmine
Climbing out the subway burning eyes spinning head
Walking through the. station breaking into a cold sweat
Is the ticking time bomb in my head or your bag
Have you been snorting white lines with President Gas
Crawling from the wreckage of my tumblin' tower block
Someone else had to finish the job
It was the enemy of the enemy
The enemy of the enemy
The enemy of the enemy
He's a friend
Til he's the enemy again
Starin' out the window at 50 000 feet
At the mercy of the skies there's no escape velocity
And as your eyes meet my skin see the terror on your face
Do You want it to stop put yourself in their place
Where what your life is worth depends on where you live
Too many generations down the line to forgive
If all you knew was total war from every side
You'd have to decide
Who's the enemy of the enemy
The enemy of the enemy
Who's the enemy of the enemy
He's a friend
til he's the enemy again
Choose the enemy
Know the enemy
Love the enemy
Feed the enemy
Sleep with the enemy
Arm the enemy
Sell the enemy
Bomb the enemy
Keep your friends close
Keep your enemies closer
