Arms Race - The Beast Lyrics
1. Zealot
do we deserve the persecution?
subjected to an inquisition
you choose to live by your own standards
but now you buy your own propaganda
what the fuck's it to you?
the empty vessel sounds the loudest
and time mellows even the proudest
the soapbox... the tightest of ropes
there are no heretics only zealots who choke
no man is an island
keep this fact in mind
the ill you put out in this world
will come back in kind
2. 24 Hours
ruled and enslaved by anxiety
body follows mind, dwell on insecurity
pace the room turn the lights on and off
who knew my sanity would be such a loss
24 hours to lose control
24 hours seem to take their toll
pull at my hair, abuse my mind too
self fulfilling prophecy my worst fears come true
claw at the pillow - a white knuckle grip
who knew depression would be such a trip?
i'm starting to see foes
where i once saw friends
i'm a slave to anxiety
and i don't know what's real or pretend
3. The Beast
i want a life of freedom cos freedom is my right
don't want no surveillance or religious blight
but now we've got the bobbies out on the street
i stare them in the face and our eyes they don't meet
the beast is closing in
the beast he wants to kill
the beast is closing in
he's gonna kill he's gonna kill
they let off bombs cos they hate our way of life
so the powers that be squeeze us ever so tight
invade our privacy for our protection
"get ready lads this is a police inspection"
the beast...the beast
4. Distort Brittania
manipulate for their ends
distort the truth it's all pretend
empty, all so empty
deceive with what they write
won't gain no insight
bias, i sense their bias
why would i try today?
ain't gonna try today
they'll get the final say anyway
try and gain some clarity
and then it dawns on me
bullshit, it's all bullshit
eyes open ears to ground
and then you might hear the sound
of deceit, hear the deceit
who said i fucking should?
won't do no fucking good
they've got it rigged anyway
they utilise every last tragedy
i've got no place in this sham demmocracy
media sensation, sensation
all provocation
distort brittania
media sensation
a sensation
distort
they'll dictate who we elect
they control it all, what did you expect?
