You're Already Dead

Crass

ATTENTION. Fuck American power. Fuck Russian power. Fuck British power.

Fuck all power.

ATTENTION. These ignorant shits arm themselves for annihilation and call it world peace.

Bollocks.



Pacified. Classified.

Keep in line. You're doing fine.

Lost your voice? There ain't no choice.

Play the game. Silent and tame.

Be the passive observer, sit back and look

At the world they destroyed and the peace that they took.

Ask no questions, hear no lies

And you'll be living in the comfort of a fool's paradise.



You're already dead, you're already dead,

You're already dead, you're already dead.



If you're the passive observer, here's a message for you...

You're already dead, You're already dead.

Afraid to do what you know you should do...

You're already dead, You're already dead.

The world's at the edge of nuclear destruction,

But your too afraid to make the connection.

You still believe the system's there for your protection...

You're already dead, You're already dead.



You're already dead, you're already dead,

You're already dead, you're already dead.



By letting it happen without a fight...

You're already dead, You're already dead.

With your endless debates about wrong and right...

You're already dead, You're already dead.

Nothing's going to change if you're not prepared to act,

There's no point complaining after the fact,

Content to be a number, branded X and neatly packed...

You're already dead, You're already dead.



You're already dead, You're already dead,

You're already dead, You're already dead.



Four hundred thousand people marched for CND...

They're already dead, They're already dead,

Unless they're willing to act on what they can see...

They're already dead, They're already dead.

If each and every one of us was prepared to fight for more,

To stand against the sys
