I’m fifty four years old Been working here so long So many years, now I think Nothing of it any more Been here all along Be there after I’m gone I turn up, do my job I clock out and I go home When we use them I Check all the machines Inspect the gauges twice a day Turn on the screens Check all the straps and wires Make sure the motor hums To be sure it’s good to go When the zero hour comes Every day sharp at noon I’m flicking up the switch And makes a deafening sound With an ominous low pitch And none of them like what they can hear Because when they do they know the time is near But what if that's wrong? Can’t let that worry you Would make your day too long Smarter people thought it through It's not my job To judge or decide I do my part well And that's my pride But what if that's wrong? Can’t let that worry you Would make your day too long Smarter people thought it through

Pulverised Run out of choices Demonised A million voices chanting Hypnotised Not dead but dreaming Caught in a A web of scheming Oh my god Can you hear that scene? Can you see that noise? Can you feel it Scratching on your bones Calling from out of the void Is this a dream or memory? Or just a scene from an old TV show? It’s all so real to me Is this a world I know? I’m alive And barely standing Such a sight To see at the end of time See the light So demanding Now the night Comes down and all this Turns to dust Can you hear that stare? Can you see that voice? It's the future Bearing down on you Getting louder hear the noise Is this a dream or memory? Or just a scene from an old TV show? It’s all so real to me Is this a world I know? Bad news Bad news From outer space Is this a dream or memory? Or just a scene from an old TV show? It’s all so real to me Is this a world I know?

Now all the remnants cleared No time to shed his tears They’ll never let him grieve, cast those ghosts from his mind The jury all agreed Their verdict plain to see Were the last words running through his head when he died Death by Misadventure Misadventure Misadventure Even though he tried To get inside They say he killed them His children A fate worse than death awaits all those who cannot toe the line The settled people cared As much as they could spare And they soon remembered to forget the other side All they could ever see Some fucked up family And the last words running through his head when he died Death by Misadventure Misadventure Misadventure Even though he tried To get inside They say he killed them His children A fate worse than death awaits all those who cannot toe the line Misadventure Misadventure Misadventure Misadventure Even though he tried To get inside They say he killed them His children A fate worse than death awaits all those who cannot toe the line

We took a trip out of the city We lost some people on the way Made it to the end of the river Nothing left to say For the first time You took flight of all your reason I saw it rise above the earth If you could stand by your decisions Be right here again For the last time When a fall from innocence Comes across like Leaving home again And then You fall like a stone Only the excess remains Now I’m so gone Now I’m so broken up Now I’m so far from home When you were wrong You should have spoken up What planet did you come from? We stood in line Said we’re innocent When you lost your mind Knew we should try to help But we've got all this time We got home in the morning in the rain So tired and we had nothing left to say

A century ago, when London's east end Was a place of an everyday agony Squalor and disease was the daily bread Vermin run across a charcoal-black street Kids in factories to make ends meet Escape the workhouse, they find you in the end Cracked a jeweler's store, now things have gone wrong The cops are at the door, time to be gone Now there’s already three cops dead Shot in the head Revolutionaries Dying under the siege The zone of fire on Sydney Street First act of the bloody show Churchill’s cameo Went to hide away down in Stepney Little did they know cops were too keen Everything they had to wipe them out clean Refugee comrades blazing their guns Up against a hundred fascist cop thugs Soon enough Willy arrived at the scene and he Can’t control his rage Told them to torch their cage Burning them alive To finish off the fight Finish off the fight Hero cowards Minor functionaries They all came down to see The zone of fire on Sydney Street A raging torrent streams In all our thoughts and dreams The zone of fire on Sydney Street The headlines are good to go They got their spectacle
