Scatter the idols.

Deify the deceased Steve Jobs,
while ignoring the working class the corporation robs.
Apple sold products to help kill in Iraq
Kids in china probably made your I-pods,
so scatter the idols you kneel to,your corporate gods.

If you have the cash,
your death will be posted around like a nasty rash.
they'll build you a statute,write you a eulogy, you'll be on  tv.
But if your just a person off the street like me, your death will be blanked out.Cast as irrelevant-Profit equals prominence.

Crocodile tears for BAE Systems unemployment,
fuck the arms race providers who benefit from bloodshed
while the poorest can't afford the rent and live on the streets instead.

The message of Occupy Wall Street goes ignored.
"your struggles mean nothing to us"
as inequality remains, faith in the system  restored.
The papers can dismiss ugly truths,
by focusing on celebrities  and political goofs.

it's 10 years on, 2761 gone
and the invasion is staying strong.
Bin Laden is dead,
Sadam is long gone
and soldiers fight on.
Do we need any more proof that we've been had
are we supposed to feel safer? supposed to feel glad?

It’s over the sea, so it allows them to see
Themselves removed from all of that
Living in narrow confined life.
A bubble, on the shelf, ignorant self.
Ignoring all other's pains
Dismissing the agony caused by F-16 planes.

Lies played on the tv screen
Tell you war is glory
As children, flesh burnin’, scream.
every victim is someone's daughter,someone's son
father or mum.


They’ll easy sell a lie will the BBC, CNBC, ITV,
Your only kidding yourself
Wishing for unbiased content
understand there’s a name for it all
It’s called ‘manufacturing consent’.

Soldiers slaughter civilians in the sands of the east
Trumpeted as champions of peace
By the warrior cult.
At the same time as they shoot an innocent man in the head
Plant a gun in his hand and write in reports that’s why he’s dead.
Rampant corruption, inherent to the system
‘disappear a family’ and only get’s noticed when someone missed them.

Every military affair has a racist air
Xenophobic rants dragged out when asked why they’re over there.
What’s to be expected, when Nazi sympathizers are accepted?
Into our so called 'boys', the power elite’s play toys.
They’ll tell you it’s not like this.
But they don’t know what’s going on.

The training robbed their humanity, fed them up in vanity
Bred them to kill
then led them to thrill
at the thought of getting caught by an afghan
pleasure in the murder of  their fellow man.

In the Tory cuts,they're dying in their hospital beds
no fear,no worry the rich,the old boys club is well fed.

Tahrir Square opened up a vent,
there's a lot of anger to spread around
and it's not all spent.
