Album: The Day the Country Died LP
Release Date: 1983
And it al went quiet in the city
And the wind blew down the road
Someone cried out ‘subvert’!
And the people all went cold
Meanwhile back in subvert city
Someone’s writing on the wall
‘fuck the government’ spraypaint here
Someone wants the state to fall
Religious dogma crucified
Ritual slaughter no one lied
Living standards were dying morals
A state controlled mass suicide
The dying breed of subvert city
Crept into the underground
The state police just left them there
Blocked the holes and gassed them down
Ten years later they emerged
Mutated minds so full of hate
Tried again to change the system
This time round it was too late
There was no system left to change
The people ran the entire land
The subverts became politicians
And finally got the upper hand
Meanwhile back in subvert city
Someone’s writing ont he wall
‘fuck the government’ spray-paint hero
But in subvert city – it’s subvert rule
