1. Faster 

I am an architect, they call me a butcher 

I am a pioneer, they call me primitive 

I am purity, they call me perverted 

holding you but I only miss these things when they leave 

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn 

life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards 

self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please 

a morality obedient only to the cleansed repented 

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer 

I spat out Plath and Pinter 

I am all the things that you regret 

a truth that washes that learnt how to spell 

the first time you see yourself naked you cry 

soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken 

he loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining 

I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing 

sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind 

shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake 

if you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down 

I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else 

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer 

I spat out Plath and Pinter 

I am all the things that you regret 

a truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell 

so damn easy to cave in, man kills everything 

so damn easy to cave in, man kills everything 

so damn easy to cave in, man kills everything 

so damn easy to cave in, man kills everything. 

2. P.C.P. 

Teacher starve your child, P.C. approved 

As long as the right words are used 

Systemised atrocity ignored 

As long as bi-lingual signs on view 

Ten foot sign in Oxford Street 

Be pure - be vigilant - behave 

Grey not neon, grey not real 

Life bleeds, death is your birthright 

P.C. she speaks impotent, sterile, naïve, blind, atheist, sadist, stiff-upper lip, first principle of her silence, of her silence 

PCP - a P.C. police victory 

PCP - a P.C. phyrric victory 

When I was young P.C. meant Police Constable 

Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference 

Liposuction for your bad mouth boy 

Cut out your tongue, effigies are sold 

Words discoloured, bow to the bland 

Heal yourself with sinner's salt 

Doctors arrested for euthanasia 

Kill smokers through blind vanity 

If you're fat don't get ill 

Europe's gravestone carved in plastic 

P.C. she says inoculate, hallucinate, beware Shakespeare, bring fresh air, king cigarette snuffed out by her midgets, by her midgets 

PCP - a P.C. police victory 

PCP - a P.C. pyrrhic victory 

When I was young P.C. meant Police Constable 

Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference 

P.C. caresses bigots and big brother, read Leviticus, learnt censorship, pro-life equals anti-choice, to be scared of, of feathers 

PCP - a P.C. police victory 

PCP - a P.C. pyrrhic victory 

When I was young P.C. meant Police Constable 

Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference 

Lawyers before love, surrogate sex 

This land bows down to 

Yours, unconditional love and hate 

Pass the prozac, designer amnesiac 

3. Sculpture Of Man 

War censored, no blood on tv 

Cheap entertainment sold like a new deodorant 

World war three, a sega dreamland 

I'd take a whore to the funeral 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Jesus descends, dachau his father 

Flanders is a corpse under flowers 

There's more art in burger king 

Than the british museum today 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

4. New Art Riot (In E Minor) 

Wills and harry, dressed in drag 

Standing over the sodomised body of their mother 

Would make a beautiful poster in athena 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Sculpture of man 

Vintage aromas and vintage ideals 

Old men greying to a dying country's needs 

Waiting for a knighthood to while away the hours 

Listen and learn now it's time to kill your betters 

Museums are dead take a new art stance 

Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat 

Hospital closure kills more than car bombs ever will 

But it saves money because people are expendable 

You cold shoulder insurgents yet love arms dealers 

Everybody's taking drugs as it makes governing easier 

Museums are dead take a new art stance 

Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat 

Sell out the past and learn to obey 

You spit out and douse a molotov cocktail 

Revolution soon dies sold out for a pay rise 

China, Russia, England, all washed up in power abuse 

Terrorism is an excuse that the ruling class use 

Wipe out aristocracy now kill, kill, kill, kill, kill 

England makes judgements of old school propaganda 

The only threat to heads is silenced by dumb pleasure 

Museums are dead take a new art stance 

Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat
