Big A, Little A

Crass

Big A, little A, bouncing B

The system might have got you but it won't get me



1 - 2 - 3 - 4



External control are you gonna let them get you?

Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?

You say you want to ba yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?

They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you



Hello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God, can you hear?

Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for you down there

On earth I have ambassadors, archbishop, vicar, pope

We'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon any hope,

We're telling you you'd better pray cos you were born in sin

Right from the start we'll build a cell and then we'll lock you in

We sit in holy judgement condemning those that stray

We offer our forgiveness, but first we'll make you pay



External control are you gonna let them get you?

Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?

You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?

They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you



Hello, hello, hello, now here's a massage from your queen

As figurehead of the status quo I set the social scene

I'm most concerned about my people, I want to give them peace

So I'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police

My prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors

For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more

Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't allow

So I'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow



External control are you gonna let them get you?

Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?

You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?

They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you



Introducing the Prime Sinister, she's a mother to us all

Like the dutch boy's finger in the dyke her arse is in the wall

Holding back
