Pettybone
Pettybone is the voice of the voiceless
Pettybone is the voice of the oppressed
The sound of revolt for all those that were told they're useless
For all those who lost their youth in the process
For all the kids that believe in their dreams but the fucked up system cut their wings
For all those living in poverty on the edge with (in) sanity
For all the vagabonds and homeless
For all the women who fight for freedom and respect
For all the immigrants trying to make their way through the London streets
For all the sisters and brothers in need
For all the truth seekers...
You have a voice
(cuz) Another world is possible...
We will be the noise
So listen to what we say
Screaming from the top of our lungs
There is no other way
We will not be silenced
We’re here to fuck it up
You tried to hold us down
But we will stand our ground
Fed up of being nothing
From our hearts resist
All our dreams corrupted
From our hearts resist
Our innocence smothered
From our hearts resist
Anxiety awaits
Unless we let our hearts resist
Our every movement controlled with every step
By Police, state and boys playing god
Telling us how to live our lives
Blinded and numbed
Enslaved and paralysed
The time has come
To play our own games
Let’s take it all back
Our body and mind roaming free
We do what we want
You don’t like it?
But we don’t fucking care
Le Regard
Feeling so low
Emotions severed
It feels like a game that I’m not playing
Can I have my life back please?
You know, the one you stole when I was young
Advertising intrusion
Men in suits don’t sit well with me
The gaze that follows me all the time
Feels like a shackle around my body
I feel safer in the shadows
Where you cannot look at me
I am tired now
I am tired of running away
I am tired now
I am tired of running away
You try to lure me with your sweet temptations
Tailor made images and expectations
I feel sick
Your constant drone, it never ceases
You think you can catch me with your hooks?
There are many dawns that have yet to break
But each one will be my chance to shine
Away from you
Conspiracy of Women (COW)
We are the conspiracy of women
And our language isn’t silence
We wanna scream so everyone can hear
Our rage and frustration
That burns deep inside
So tonight we’ll take everything back
We will find our own space to evade
We will take the passivity and tear it apart
We will do our thing rather than waiting
We are the conspiracy of women
And our language isn’t silence
We wanna scream so everyone can hear
Our rage and frustration
That burns deep inside
So tonight we’ll take everything back
We will find our own space to evade
We will take the passivity and tear it apart
We will do our thing rather than waiting
Justice Tonight
(original lyrics by: Willie Williams, Jackie Mitto and the Clash)
A lot of people won't get justice tonight!
A lot of people won't get no supper tonight!
I love you! Oh, say it with cobblestones!
I love you! Oh, say it with cobblestones!
Holding hands as flames light the sky
Masks cover our faces I can see in your eyes
Passion so deep, it’s hard to breathe
I always had and carry with me
These ideals embrace me tenderly
Arm yourself to live
Treasure these moments
Never let them go
Pulse racing as we run in the night
Not knowing where it takes us
Call me stupid or whatever you like
But at least I am fucking alive
Our heartbeats will still be heard
When these walls go tumbling down
Our desires will lead the way
Arm yourself to live!
Breaking Away
Life is a stutter, i feel like i’ve drowned
Unable to move, just look around
Been moulded into a shape, i can’t escape
The verge of existence passes me by
I want you to know that we won’t last
Isolation is a prison
Even amongst a crowd
Sitting around and feeling down
Apathy is resignation
Breaking away from these chains
They will never win
You see, cos in life we take and we give
You have to understand that’s just the way it is
This is our life!
Northern Line
Loss of hope
Hearts broken
Shattered to pieces
Emotions go high
Then they die
From Desperate Times Comes Radical Minds
In the alley ways and half way houses
Amongst tortured souls and broken hearts
The rejects and hopeless, forgotten and lost
Surviving but by a thread
No dirty tricks or political mess
Stand up and shouting
But please, keep on fighting
From desperate times comes radical minds
To Hell With This Culture
Another paving slab laid over the dreams of our youth
No care in the world, what the fuck did they do to us?
Even memories are corrupted, taken away and torn to shreds
It’s hard to know what’s right or wrong
If all they do is feed us lies
To hell with this culture
For what it does to us
To hell with this culture
For how it makes us feel
To hell with this culture
For making us surrender
To Hell................
They seem to have forgotten that we built this world
And we will be the ones who will burn it down
Turning our backs on this as they did to us
We are the undesirables and we will dance alone
To hell with this culture
For what it does to us
To hell with this culture
For how it makes us feel
To hell with this culture
For making us surrender
To Hell....................
