Suspect Device (02:37)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
Inflammable material is planted in my head
It's a suspect device that's left 2000 dead
Their solutions are our problems
They put up the wall
On each side time and prime us
And make sure we get sod all
They play their games of power
They cut and mark the pack
They deal us to the bottom
But what do they put back?

(Chorus:)
Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Don't be bitten twice
you gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss out
Suss suspect device

They take away our freedom
In the name of liberty
Why can't they all just clear off
Why can't they let us be
They make us feel indebted
For saving us from hell
And then they put us through it
It's time the bastards fell

(Chorus)

Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Question everything you're told
Just take a look around you
At the bitterness and spite
Why can't we take over and try to put it right

(Chorus)

We're a suspect device if we do what we are told
But a suspect device can score an own goal
I'm a suspect device the Army can't defuse
You're a suspect device they know they can't refuse
We're gonna blow up in their face

State of Emergency (02:29)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
You're looking for something
But what could it be?
You look for a hero
Well don't look at me
You look for solutions
But there's none you can find
You believe in something
That's only in your mind
You're looking around you
But hate has made you blind
And you've spent the last ten years of your life
In this emergency

So please don't just sit there
Let's try to break out
From all the hatred
Suspicion and doubt
Try to change your life
That is no life at all
Try to break down the imaginary wall
And if you couldn't be bothered
Well then, my friend, you'll fall
And spend all the rest of your life
In this emergency

Here We Are Nowhere (00:59)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
Friday night's here
What's the scene?
Nothing to do
Y'know what I mean?
Nothing on the telly
There is no late-night show
No shows in town
There is no place to go
Here we are nowhere
Nowhere left to go

Is it a crime
To be young
Cos every time
We have some fun
They put us down
And tell us that we're wrong
Every time they sing the same old song
Here we are nowhere
Maybe that's where we belong
You know it's not
But what do we do
Don't look at me now
I'm looking at you
And sitting there
Won't change a thing
Must we only wait and see
What the future will bring

Wasted Life (03:11)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
I could be a soldier
Go out there and fight to save this land
Be a people's soldier
Paramilitary gun in hand
I won't be no soldier
I won't take no orders from no-one
Stuff their fucking armies
Killing isn't my idea of fun

They wanna waste my life
They wanna waste my time
They wanna waste my life
And they've stolen it away

I could be a hero
Live and die for their 'important' cause
A united nation
Or an independent state with laws
And rules and regulations
That merely cause disturbances and wars
That is what I've got now
All thanks to the freedom-seeking hordes

They wanna waste my life
They wanna waste my time
They wanna waste my life
And they've stolen it away

I'm not gonna be taken in
They said if I don't join I just can't win
I've heard that story many times before
And every time I threw it out the door

Still they come up to me
With a different name but the same old face
I can see the connection
With another time and a different place
They ain't blonde-haired or blue-eyed
But they think that they're the master race
They're nothing but blind fascists
Brought up to hate and given lives to waste

They wanna waste my life
They wanna waste my time
They wanna waste my life
And they've stolen it away

Barbed Wire Love (03:33)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
I met you in No Man's Land
Across the wire we were holding hands
Hearts a-bubble in the rubble
It was love at bomb site

All you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
Barbed wire love...

When I fell it was awful nice
Caught when not suspecting vice
The night was rife with wasteland life
You set my arm alight

All you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
Barbed wire love...

Blasted by your booby traps
I felt the blow in both knee-caps
Your eyes did shine
Your lips were fine
And the device in your pants was out of site

All you give me is barbed wire love
All caught up in barbed wire love
Tangled up in barbed wire love
Throw my leg over barbed wire love
Barbed wire love snags my jeans
Barbed wire love...

Breakout (03:04)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
Ain't got no money but I don't give a damn
Cos when I got it I spend it as fast as I can
Ain't got no worries at least none I can see
Got to make a fast connection then I'll be free

(Chorus)
Break out and leave this life behind
Break out and see what I can find
Might lose I'm going to try my luck
Might win don't really give a fuck

I've gotta try cos I've gotta know
If I'm a winner and the star of the show
Can't stand routine for another day
Rules and regulations getting in my way

(Chorus)

Won't let anyone put me down
I ain't gonna be nobody's clown
Won't be taken in by their promises
I'm gonna try on my terms this time

So if I can do it you can do it too
Why don't you try it you've got nothing too lose
A boring job living from day to day
Do something different try to break away

Law and Order (03:14)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
Everybody's down in the centre of town
Doing nothing wrong, we're only hanging around
They put you up against the wall
Make loud mouth jokes just to make you feel small
Laugh at your appearance and the clothes you wear
Call that justice? Just isn't fair!

(Chorus)
Talking bout their law and order
They don't do what they ought to
Law and order
There's no justice in it
None

I had a friend who was lifted by the law
Lifted and shifted and dumped on the floor
They treated him like shit
Kicked him in the head and then laughed when he bled
Spat in his face and pulled his hair
Call that justice? Just isn't fair!

(Chorus)

I'm not trying to say we're always right
No-one's saying it's black and white
All I'm saying is we don't agree
I don't think like you don't think like me
I hope you never do!

And that's the way they try and run this land
How they hold you down and keep you in hand
You're just a pawn in their game
You're just another number, you ain't got a name
You're just a little punk, y'know they don't care
Call that justice? Just isn't fair!

(Chorus)

Rough Trade (02:39)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
Record boss said we would be a smash
Yeah, go straight to number one
He talked of hits and tours and lots of cash
And all the time it wasm't on
And I beleived every word was true
Yeah I swallowed every line
I believed every word he said
And I didn't find out in time

(Chorus)
We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed
Betrayed, betrayed by rough trade lies

We quit our jobs and got all set to fly
Your promises had us riding high
But it's a dirty rough tough trade we find
"Yeah we agreed, but you hadn't signed
Sorry, son, gonna have to throw you
Our lawyers say we don't even know you"
Music is money, kids are no-account fools
You trade in us, we get betrayed by you

(Chorus)

And you're sitting there in you're London office
Snug and warm
And you think that you've won but
Just remember this is just round one
We're gonna do it our way
We're gonna make it on our own
Because we've found people to trust
People who put music first

(Chorus)

Why can't you tell us the truth?
Why did you lie to us?

Johnny Was (08:11)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
Woman hold her head and cry
Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
From a stray bullet

Woman hold her head and cry
Accompanying her was a passerby
Who saw the woman cry

Wondering can she work it out
Now she knows that the wages of sin is death
The gift of God is life

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Johnny was a good man
oh yeah

Woman hold her head and cry
Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
Just because of the system

Woman hold her head and cry
Comforting her I was passing by
And I saw the woman cry

She cried, oh, oh, oh, oh
Johnny was a good man
Never did a thing wrong

Take it down

Johnny went out on a Saturday night
Never hurt anybody never started no bar room fight
Johnny never did nobody no wrong
Never hurt anybody never hurt anybody
Johnny was a good man
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny...

Johnny was a good man
[Repeat]

In a top floor flat in the middle of the night
There's a man with rifle and Johnny in his sight,
I said oh no, we can't let that kind of thing happen here no more
Oh no
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny...

A single shot rings out in a Belfast night and I said oh
Johnny was a good man

Can a woman's tender care
Cease towards the child she bears

Johnny [Repeat]

Alternative Ulster (02:44)
Stiff Little Fingers • Inflammable Material
There's nothin' for us in Belfast
The Pound's old and that's a pity
OK, there's the Trident in Bangor
And then you walk back to the city
We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
They just want money
And we can take it or leave it
What we need is

(Chorus:)
An Alternative Ulster
Grab it and change it it's yours
Get an Alternative Ulster
Ignore the bores and their laws
Get an Alternative Ulster
Be an anti-security force
Alter your native Ulster
Alter your native land

Take a look where you're livin'
You got the Army on the street
And the RUC dog of repression
Is barking at your feet
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this where you wanna be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
What we need is

(Chorus)

They say they're a part of you
And that's not true you know
They say they've got control of you
And that's a lie you know
They say you will never be
Free free free

Get an Alternative Ulster, Alternative Ulster, Alternative Ulster
