Paranoid & Sunburnt

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 all the golden pews
The devil's snapping at your toes now
Because the angels can't be bothered to live up to you

They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money, blood and your bones
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 your 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, blood and your bones
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, blood and your bones
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love

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'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 our 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 sacrifice
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
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 sacrifice
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 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

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...

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 u
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 u
weak as I am, no tears for u[X2]
deep as I am, I'm not ones fool
weak as I am
So what am I now? I'm loves last hope
I'm all of the soft words I once owned
if I opened my heart, there'd be no space for air
'cos I wanted u

weak as I am, no tears for u[X2]
deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
weak as I am

In this tainted soul }
in this weak young heart } x 2
am I too much for u }

Weak as I am[x4] am, am
Weak as I am }
Am I too much for you } x3

Weak as I am

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
