POP IDOL
They broke into his appartment
That's how they found him
Lying in his own blood
Still holding the shotgun
God Knows where he got one
I think he must've liked Nirvana
He didn't pass the audition, an omission
And the cause of all the drama
And beside him a letter, his final message
And this is what the note said
I wanna be a Pop Idol
I wanna join the Star Academy
I wanna be on the X Factor
Join the ranks of mediocrity
There's no room for second
When celebrity beckons
It's time to take the lead
But determination is just desperation
With the sorry life you lead
And to be discovered
You'd sell off your mother
And you'd throw in the kids for free
Now they're giving the masses
Celebrity classes
And this is what they all sing
I wanna be a Pop Idol
I wanna join the Star Academy
I wanna be on the X Factor
Join the ranks of mediocrity
A simple verdict
The gallery heard it
A case of suicide
They said it was tragic
The kid couldn't hack it
When his dreams had been denied
And stood by the coffin
His girlfriend was sobbing
As she gave the final word
She didn't look nervous
Addressing the public
And this is what they heard
I wanna be a Pop Idol
I wanna join the Star Academy
I wanna be on the X Factor
Join the ranks of mediocrity

PUNK's NOT DEAD
Materialism is the new vision
You're nobody if you don't want it all
'Cause sex and drugs and Rock 'n Roll
Has sold its soul to the shopping mall
The boys in the hood are acting tough
'Cause some Rap video said they should
And Punk's not dead but it's getting sicker
Now the baseball cap is the new swastika
Goodnight individuality
Everybody's gotta dress the same
But if it worked for Chairman Mao
For Calvin Klein it can work the same
The boys in the hood are up to no good
'Cause some Rap video said they could
And Punk's not dead but it's getting sicker
Now the baseball cap is the new swastika
So if you want to go to hell
Bon Voyage I wish you well
Just don't expect me to drive
Or even sit in the passenger side
If you want to go to hell
Bon Voyage I wish you well
Just don't expect me to drive
Or even sit in the passenger side
Because punk's not dead
Youth cultures all come together
To wear designer labels in the street
What shall we do with all the black leather
Now that rebellion is obsolete?
The boys in the hood are feeling alright
They're chasing the dragon in broad daylight
And Punk's not dead but it's getting sicker
Now the baseball cap is the new swastika
So if you want to go to hell
Bon Voyage I wish you well
Just don't expect me to drive
Or even sit in the passenger side
If you want to go to hell
Bon Voyage I wish you well
Just don't expect me to drive
Or even sit in the passenger side
Because punk's not dead
Punk's not dead
Punk's not dead

DAVID BOWIE HAD A DISCOTHEQUE
David Bowie had a discotheque
Debbie Harry was the cloakroom girl
Gary Numan ran the cocktail bar
And Adam Ant was on the disco decks
Burn baby burn
Brian Eno ran the chill-out room
Shaun and Bez were dealing drugs in there
Henry rollins kept the drunks at bay
Poly Styrene danced the night away
Burn baby burn
D I S C O - THEQUE
Jarvis Cocker was a VIP
Gary Glitter didn't make the list
Ozzy Osbourne cleaned up all the puke
It was a favour for the thin white duke
Burn baby burn
D I S C O - THEQUE

VIP
I'm the VIP, but there's nothing very important about me
I'm second class, I'm just a big nobody with a backstage pass
Part of the scene, I'm here to be seen, there'll be no show without me
I'm the VIP
I'm the VIP, so won't you let me in your club for free
I'm a parasite, so give me front-row tickets to your opening night
Corporate sleaze is such a disease and I am Mr HIV
I'm the VIP
There's nobody left in the crowd no more
They're all passed out on the dressing room floor
And I'm not sure if you're a corporate whore
Or a genuine fan of my Rock 'n Roll band
I don't know anymore
'Cause little by little the worms crawl in
And that's how they get under your skin
And I'm nobody and I've neever been
But this says otherwise this says otherwise
I'm the VIP
I've got more bracelets than Mr T
And all my clothes are dingy
Because I'm dumb and gullible

Game Over

GAME OVER
Little by little they're rolling up the carpet
Ever so slowly so we don't even notice
And all of your freedom, they put it in the garbage
If you're looking for justice you might be disappointed
The hip the hop the people on top
Brick by brick and they're not gonna stop
The tick the tock no turning back the clock
We were such pushovers and now it's game over
Little by little they're turning out the house lights
Bringing in the curfew and it's gonna be a long night
And new technology it isn't gonna save us
But they'll use it against you for torture and surveillance
The hip the hop the people on top
Brick by brick and they're not gonna stop
The tick the tock no turning back the clock
We never saw them take over and now it's game over

WE LOVE DRUGS
We love drugs
But I get so introverted
And I become confused
And I get so opinionated
And I go on and on and on and on
We love drugs
And I'm comimg up like a bastard
But it isn't any fun no more
And I'm getting paranoia
Why's everybody looking at me?
Why's everybody looking at me?
We love drugs
'Til the drug me got stronger and the real me got weaker
'Til the drug me got stronger and the real me got weaker
