Napalm Death

For independence we alone define
Open-ended, not monopolised, its just as it is.
Does not need overstatement
Dont broadcast it from the rooftops
Its we alone that convene
But radical actor there you are
The radical statesman picking holes
But radical actor there you are
The radical statemans checklist of faults
But radical actor there you are
In radical terms this targets soft
But radical actor there you are
In radical terms its power to your lost soul
But radical actor there you are
The radical heights of alienating
To be a cut above - or below.
Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance because image is at stake
Mindlessly stifling, downbeat clique
Down-at-heel, downbeat clique
Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance because image is at stake
Pitifully sniping, downbeat clique
Re-branded morality, downbeat clique.
Exactly what are YOU achieving?
The faithful patron of one conclusion
With reflection, effects are null and void,
Its just as it is
But radical actor there you are
The radical statesman picking holes
But radical actor there you are
In radical terms its power to your lost soul.
But radical actor there you are,
The radical slip into social structure,
And your threatening alliance with the norm.
