1.	Do or Die 09:00	lyrics	buy track
I have an overriding sense it's do or die For each and every one of us who wants to try To try and overthrow them and then deny The rich and selfish cunts of their paradise Fear lives in the heart of man, and love lives in the heart of a women Former priests and presidents have long lost the peace they represent Oh look cos here they come, to disembowel you Oh you think they're on the run, cos they're snidey too You're tories and you're scumbags and you'll realise when the time is too late
2.	Adorning Her 08:21	lyrics	buy track
Nothing's seen, nothing's known, nothing's wrong, nothing's owned Her body her home Sensitive to change, forced to be misled Female mutilation on her mother's bed Shut the door closed now there's nothing to be said Female mutilation on her father's bed Nothing's seen, nothing's known, nothing's wrong, nothing's owned Her body her home Four to five years old, models swimming clothes Now just twelve years old, she models with no clothes Just for money's sake, we think she's free at last We'll cry for her life now, now that it's in the past

Yeah hope is in the water Yeah peace is in the water
4.	Not Lost 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Everything's not lost A beauty that's in disguise Everything's not lost I see it now through your eyes That beauty gives death a ride Egypt you have my soul Egypt you have my soul My Grandma's not letting go She connects me to where I'm from I'm not black not white not wrong I'm not black not white not wrong Egypt you have my soul It's something I'll forever know Forever can be for show England you'll have my bones I'll sail them back for sure Maybe I will die abroad Cos this soil's not made of gold It's something that we don't know

6.	Same Old, Same Old 06:10	lyrics	buy track
Caring about their powers too fickly throwing their money overseas Morally divorcees from you and me Not meaning to bring peace to you Scrounging for debt and tearing this land apart Now they're scrounging for land and forcing us to start Fighting over you and me Fighting over land and sea Fighting over things we need Like housing on a massive scale Feminists freed from their jails People feeding families for themselves They're killing us like time won't last Killing us for their own past Killing us cos change is coming fast We're vulnerable to inflation, austerity, evasion and private greed Still vulnerable to policy, white man's needs and jealousy
7.	Go High 06:41	lyrics	buy track
Take no moment, take no pleasure Take no reason, take no feeling Take no closeness, take no fresh air No more breathing, no more finer thing Go home, go high, go sleep,go die (Go high, come crashing down) Forlorn, for sure, your heart, procured Take no courage, take no choices No more silence, all these voices take no thoughtless, build no fortresses Take no loved ones, no solace in your lifetime Go home, go high, go sleep,go die (Go high, come crashing down) Forlorn, for sure, your heart, procured
8.	When's Enough!? 10:38	lyrics	buy track
(Tory tory murder) May I excuse myself from this island, land and cell May I excuse myself, from this island's prison cell (When's enough enough oh?) May I be your equal, a refugee on foreign soil May we be your equal, a mother holding her dying girl (When's enough enough oh?) The man on the park bench, street bench, making sense (There's no roof, just the rough) Women taking care of our future from what we've spent (It's behave or the game) Those less fortunate than ourselves (Go to work or the grave) Iain Duncan Smith puts his shame upon his shelf (Go to work or the grave) They're all, Tory tory murders
9.	They Found Asylum in the Sea 08:20	lyrics	buy track
We don't want here no immigrant We don't want see no immigrant We don't care for humanity Cos we don't feel love at all In this country they say That we must turn them away So we leave they to die And don't stop to think why He go run (He go run) He go hide (He go hide) He go cry (We don't hear) He go die (We don't care) First we throw them a line But then we change our minds Then we hold out our hand But don't help them to stand Instead we choose not to care Laid our twisted morals bare When we said leave them be To float face down in the sea He go run (He go run) He go hide (He go hide) He go cry (We don't hear) He go die (We don't care) She go run (She go run) She go hide (She go hide) She go cry (We don't hear) She go die (We don't care) Search and rescue turned to fear and murder While they teach us how to fear our brothers
