Lyrics
Another fine timing for a step into line
Timing is opportune for conformity.
For four budding young stars who've just found the time
Four aspiring individuals with newfound time.
An old tune and shit words, as long as they rhyme
Emphasis on melody over meaningful lyrics.
Well just watch them boys because they can't fail this time
Watch them succeed effortlessly this time.
Well I've heard all the screams of another barmy army
Experience with futile rebellious groups.
But who sits in hotels with champagne and salami?
Contrast between luxury and rebellion.
It only leaves you to be the one who's barmy
You end up being the foolish one.
You're being led on to make a superstars fortune
Being deceived into pursuing a superficial fortune.
Yeah, we live in dead cities, and the streets are grey
Living in desolate cities with dull streets.
But I don't need Top of the Pops to make me think that way
Rejecting mainstream validation like Top of the Pops.
I can see this rebellion on my TV screen
Observing rebellion on TV without a future prospect.
But no sign of a future for you and me
A lack of prospects for the future.
A slight reflection of the past, but that didn't last
Reflection on the fleeting nature of the past.
Because the people who mattered weren't rolled in the cast
Significance lost when influential people are absent.
They're lining up another lot, all idols who
New idols are emerging to replace the old.
will be nailing down the coffin on me and you
New idols contribute to the demise of individuals.
You tell me about the Conflict barmy army.
Skepticism towards the so-called Conflict barmy army.
Well, excuse me if I laugh, but I think it's rather funny
Amusement at the notion of Conflict's barmy army.
That when the businessman farts the punters go running
Public reacts strongly to the whims of businessmen.
We are just the latest pile of shit; can't you see what's coming?
Recognition of being treated as disposable.
The businessmen whisper from backroom thrones
Businessmen exert influence from hidden positions.
Their long grasping tentacles are hungry and strong
Powerful businessmen benefit from artists' creations.
Top chart hits and in future, we can't go wrong
Focus on chart success without concern for artists.
But it's only their wallets that get fat on our songs
Profits go to businessmen, not the creators.
Does it really matter about the businessman side?
Indifference towards the fate of punk.
I don't really give a fuck, if punk's dead or alive.
Punk's vitality is irrelevant; no concern.
Top chart hits and future, they can do that for you.
Businessmen control charts and the future.
But just ask this question, is it false or is it true?
Questioning the authenticity of the situation.
