Spoken (… In these names, new laws will be invoked...) The war on terror, the war on drugs, The war on poverty and here’s the rub None of these wars are ever won As none of these wars are ever begun These are new soundbites without real meaning Dreamed up in corridors and policy meetings No-one gives a damn about your reality It’s not about the content, it’s all delivery Hang on a minute, did somebody shout That the war’s now over and peace broke out? Hang on a minute, did somebody say That the war’s now over till the end of today? Are we safer when we fly in their security theatre? Is the shopping now cheaper or do we just work harder? Can you still buy drugs on the same street corner? Have the food banks shut now they’ve renamed hunger? Hang on a minute, did somebody shout That the war’s now over and peace broke out? Hang on a minute, did somebody say That the war’s now over till the end of today? But I’m not a man on an omnibus Whose name you can readily conjure up As weight for your theory that these battles are nearly over and over and over again ++++++++ And these sour notes ring out while I sing Just keep calm and keep consuming Drive me down and underground Tape my mouth up, both my hands are bound Like a nation on a mission without any roadmap Not in my name, I never signed up for that In these names, new laws will be invoked And with these words, new rights can be revoked

I guess you knew that I’d show up one day Like the first run blueprint of teenage outrage Hey old man, I’m less than impressed You promised me gold and it’s all gone west Show me ambitions and show me achievements Show me there’s still ++++ left to believe in Tell me again about not selling out Did those words come out of your mouth? I’m the bastard son of Elvis Presley 17, 18, 19, 20 I’m the bastard son of Elvis Presley Taking all the world on, if somebody lets me I'll leave you standing and gasping for air Watch the earth’s gravity bend in my wake I’m sucking up the knowledge, make no mistake If you’re looking for trouble then you’re in the right place I’m the bastard son of Elvis Presley 17, 18, 19, 20 I’m the bastard son of Elvis Presley Taking all the world on, if somebody lets me Hey Joe, go with the flow; keep the line moving, nice and slow. Take one, pass it on, enjoy the show, we’re all revved up and we’re ready to go. The walls of this city had better watch out, once more round and they’ll be coming down Send me a ticket to your counter-culture, speed like white light and travelling upwards Eyes wide, all alive and into the future I’m 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye I can’t stand still for the rest of my life I never explain or apologise And the last train out leaves here tonight I’m the bastard son of Elvis Presley 17, 18, 19, 20 I’m the bastard son of Elvis Presley Taking all the world on, if somebody lets me

Slow Down 04:04
Let’s pick things up, with a bit of a warning This song contains some images that you might find disturbing And if you’re feeling sensitive, please look away now, You can turn back soon when the noise has stopped And the music has run out Slow down, slow down, Take a deep breath and look around Slow down, slow down Take a deep breath and stand up, and stand your ground We might be lions but we’re still living in cages You might as well paint the bars straight onto our faces Fat on a diet of bad TV and Sunday’s sport back pages It’s sad to say but it’s plain to see that We’re no longer dangerous Slow down, slow down, Take a deep breath and look around Slow down, slow down Take a deep breath and stand up, and stand your ground Is the life that we’re living in, worth the price that we’re paying out? I lock myself inside at night Where it all looks better under sodium light And the centre of this city’s like a Wild West bar fight Sleeping under bridges and dying of frostbite How can you be so out of touch How can you just miss out on this much? Are these the best minds of our generation? I pray that they're not or else we've all got a real problem We haven't come far in 100 years Dead from the ground up, out of ideas Everyone's talking and no-one gets heard at all Slow down, slow down, Take a deep breath and look around Slow down, slow down Take a deep breath and stand up, and stand your ground
