Adam Trujillo What a banger! Pummeling, bleak, and vicious. I just can't help gritting my teeth and nodding along to those ta-ta-taah beats. Favorite track: God's Favourite Sports Car.

Keeping the status quo To you means more Than uplifting the poor Because it’s trendy to feel sore But your white cane’s on the floor #makeprejudiceend Is a paradox when You’re the cause of the resent So tell yourself you care again Because we all know it’s a lie Could learn to empathise, but why? White liberals will always be fine Your privilege will always be blind

Drawbridge 03:18
Pull up the drawbridge The bad air’s coming This jingo fever Is making us sing Pull up the drawbridge Let out the crocodiles It’s knock, draw and loose And our hate soars for miles Face down in the sand His blood on our hands Landmines in the sand Our face in our hands Pull up The drawbridge Look here On these walls There’s hot oil And snipers Watching over The shores Pull up The drawbridge National pride We boast Fly that Flag high Over dead kids On the coast

Stop worrying, love the bomb Keep calm, love the bomb Stop worrying, trinity is future Keep calm, it’s only cancer Nuclear power Become death, mutually assured Mass-destruction, mutually assured Heat-death, the end of the world Self-destruction, our last words Nuclear power
4.
I look up at them They tower above me Titans of cold glass consuming concrete The rich gaze at themselves in their mirror buildings Towering narcissus stands over my city Worshipping the destruction of community Idolising the icons of leisure Their faces stare at me, eyes dead with joy Their spikes rise from the floor Surfaces twist and contort I sleep in the ground in a concrete cradle Houses stand empty, hollow sentinels of wealth Camden benches, monuments of hypocrisy One hundred spears stab my body
5.
The structure changes And the lure changes What is pure changes We're instructed to outcast those We now call impure For the interest of the red, white and blue On the flag on the mast outside Of the house of the cunt on the lash Who's necking fuck tonnes And giving a fuck tonne of cash To the man to blame for his life Staying the same without any of the Flame or flash he expected When he saw Roger Moore on his telly With a flash girl and a firebird With his belly full of jelly Because of the grub he scoffs With two fingers up to the toffs I'll just sit here Nailing tent pegs to my forehead With crossed eyes And TV static I'll turn Everything Blue Imagine a world where we produce Rolex Where your legs Are on the block In the name Of the oversized mane of a cock With an oversized pile of wad Licence supported by the cane Of those in power Determined to provide a demise To those unfortunate enough Not to possess the knowledge To end their misery

Crutch 00:33
Overfed Londoners privately taught Thinking they’re underground Rubbing their paint on the wall Make-up won’t buy back your soul A sniff of coke and you’ve lost the accent Corporate pop with commercial intent So pissed you barely walk And all you do is talk Shite Your head in your postmodern arse Your radical opinions are a fucking farce Talking for the people you hate so much On and off the stage your ego is your crutch Pick it up
7.
I eat my brain on a plate And with holy water He feeds me grapes All day I wait Don't question my faith For it's given me A damp street corner To spread his favours And preach his flavours Not to question my faith All day I wait Excuse me, sir, can you donate? So my preacher can put a Maserati Behind his gates God's favourite sports car Is it your time I waste? Am I losing my mind, Alone in this corner? I'll do thy bidding, master I'll do thy bidding My sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet sweet lord I'll do thy bidding, master Whatever you ask of me I'll do it for free I'll do it for fucking free
