We Support All Forms of Resistance Against This Racist System (Part I)

We support all forms of resistance against this racist system

Education (Part I)

Bradford teacher victimized
Instant hero, surprise surprise
Darling of the ultra-right
Middle-class, well-spoken, white
Education is a powerful tool
And it's in the hands
Of the people who rule

Education (Part II)

They're the bosses of tomorrow
They're called the FCS
Fascist Conservative Sheep
Who claim to know what's best
Tied to dad's finances
And only just out of school
They want Progressive Capitalism
And Imperialist Rule
And it just goes to show
That Higher Education
Is just the thing for blinding kids
With lies and information
These students think that with their vast experience of life, they know and understand the answers to the world's problems. And all the people around the world without food and civil liberties, the people of Nicaragua, and Ireland, and Chile, and El Salvador, and Grenada, and South Africa... Well they're all ignorant peasants without University educations...
Don't let education stand in your way
These bosses of tomorrow: confront them today

Shock! Horror!

'Forward with Braitain!' with the Daily Mirror
'The Facts Not The Fiction' boasts The Star
The fact is that attacks on Asians and Blacks
By people who read this racist crap
Are higher than ever before
--But you won't find that in The Star
Shock! Horror!
In the pages of The Sun you're alright if you're white
And not gay, or Irish, or out on strike.
Toilet paper to serve the nation
'Those filthy Asians! And Rastafarians!'
Deportation
Repatriation
Intimidation
Condemnation
Prejudice in the Daily Express
Wapping lies all over The Times
And the molotov which burnt out the shop
Had a screwed-up Daily Mail
Stuck inside the top
All hail the patriot who always buys
These government-sponsored media lies
Who spends each lunch-break getting filled with shit
Who pays for it, and who believes in it...
Shock! Horror!

There's No Need To Vote NF When There Are Twelve Tory Fascists In The Cabinet

There's no need to vote NF when there are twelve tory fascists in the cabinet

Remembrance Day

The white male complex shows its roots
Chanting seig heils, throwing salutes
From it's tiny brain to its outsize boots
In 100% British sheepskin suits
All the fascists gathered there
Fouling up Trafalgar Square
Proud and dumb on Remembrance Day
...Amen
An afternoon in mid November
Tell me what you're here to remember
'I can't remember...'
'I... I can't remember...'
They've got police protection
They've got the boss's investments
They've got shit for brains
They raised their ugly heads again
'Lads together, we can have a laugh
Goose-step past the Cenotaph
Patriotic to the last
Of this, our patriotic past!'
No, they shall not pass

K-2 (Indian Restaurant)

The weekend booze-up, out with your mates
To the Indian restaurant--open til late
Mugs out of nightclubs, hungry and cold
Last chance for action before they stagger home
Work, ties, empty minds.
Years of lies, dumb and blind
Caged, bound and ready to ruck
Crudely wrapped, fed, fucked
It's easy in numbers to make racist jokes
ANd you have to prove to everyone you're one of the blokes
No imagination, never stopped to think
A lack of respect, a bellyful of drink
Work, ties, empty minds.
Years of lies, dumb and blind
Caged, bound and ready to ruck
Crudely wrapped, fed, fucked

Irish Joke

'Have you heard the one about the Irishman?'
Sick and tired of Irish jokes
He said farewell to all his folks (bye bye)
Left his home to have some fun
Packed his clothes and a gatling gun
Secretly, with ill intent
Into the House of Parliament
Where politicians sit and croak (hear hear)
Inventing all those racist jokes
He pulls the gun out from his coat
And loudly shouts out 'Here's my vote!'
'Have you heard the one about the Irishman?'
'...he had the last laugh.'

We Support All Forms of Resistance Against This Racist System (Part II)

Don't respect your choice of opinion
If your choice is a racist system
'Freedom of speech'--it's a worthless cause
As long as freedom is defined by laws
We support all forms of resistance
Against this racist system
You tell us to sit and wait
You say we have to beat the racists in open debate
You say it's not democracy
Well that's OK by me
We support all forms of resistance
Against this racist system
They've got police protection
They've got the boss's investments
We've got ourselves and each other
And not much time...
