DISHONOUR THE CROWN LYRICS

1. The English Way

Stuck in these ways for way too long, the chains of commerce keep us dumb.
We live our lives but at a price, we're slaves to everything we know.
We'd rather keep it to ourselves, don't get involved with someone else.
Just walk away or stop and stare, we lost the human long ago.

Conditioned mentally to feel no empathy, we place our trust in just a few.

Don't need to feel, we just consume, no need to love, just need control.
It's all a symptom of our greed, we plan our lives around our needs.
Turn our backs on those we view as weak, there's no belief, integrity.
Caught in the grip of corporate fear, it's just a symptom of today.

Conditioned mentally to feel no fucking shame, just shut your mouth and live your life.
Who really cares as long as some cunt's getting paid, get fucked that's just the English way

Lifestyle victims, prisoners of despair dependent on this source of thought control.
Losing grip on all humanity sacrificed for material wealth.

Stuck in these ways for way too long, the chains of commerce keep us dumb.
We live our lives but at a price, we're slaves to everything we know.
We'd rather keep it to ourselves, don't get involved with someone else.
Just walk away or stop and stare, we lost the human long ago.

Conditioned mentally to feel no fucking shame, just shut your mouth and live your life.
Who really cares as long as some cunts getting paid, get fucked that's just the English way.

This is just the English way.

2. Weakened to the Bone

Lives that have no meaning, the lives we're leading everyday.
Obsession with a lifestyle, that's always out of reach.
Lose the soul, infect the mindset, assimilate into an empty shell.
Take a look into the future, and see that there is nothing left.
Determination through suffering, the only way to grow.
A cold negation of all the truths, we're weakened to the bone.

Hate divides the nation, hatred that's born through ignorance.
This lack of integration, is the root of all our ills.
Look to god or politicians, look to corporations, pay your debt.
Sell our souls to buy a future, never get our morals back.
We're sold a lie to keep us quiet.
We'll swallow pride to build a life take your time.

Waste, disease, pollution, the scars we leave upon this world.
Not too far beyond solutions, to make this horror turn around.
Search your soul for something better, look towards some meaning in this life.
As we sacrifice the future, do we let the human die?
Determination through suffering, the only way to grow.
A cold negation of all the truths, we're weakened to the bone.

Just take your time to know what's right.
Just take your time expand your mind.
We're sold a lie to keep us quiet.
We build our fucking live, around these narcissists.
We build our fucking dreams, based on their plan.

3. DTC

Don't throw your fucking hate at me, stand back or you'll live to regret this.
These days all we see, aggression born from pure frustration.
Don't walk that fucking line with me, it's all front you've got nothing behind this.
Your fears revealed, depression hides behind this hatred.
DTC. All about the love and family.
Keep it real. No escape from the hatred around us.
Feel empty. Although these lies will never break us.
Find strength in. The good times and forget all the bullshit.

Don't stand alone don't hate for life, dragged down by political systems.
Your life is yours, it's just a question of how you play this.
They can't take your soul, can't take your mind, they can never take the love that you have for life.
We pretend like we will always conform in life, we need to stand as one and forget all the bullshit.
When times are hard, we trust in few these days are hard as we learn to rely on our family.
Two sides, set lines, we can't belong for times, for lives and I know that
I will never be broken.

Don't throw your fucking hate at me, stand back or you'll live to regret this.
These days all we see, aggression born from pure frustration.
Don't walk that fucking line with me, it's all front you've got nothing behind this.
Your fears revealed, depression hides behind this hatred.
DTC. All about the love and family.
Keep it real. No escape from the hatred around us.
Feel empty. Although these lies will never break us.
Find strength in. The good times and forget all the bullshit.

4. New Ways to Heal

Deception feeds the suffering, a sickness deep inside the soul.
Control, manipulation, leaves you in the cold.
The years rush by as time eludes, your mind another place like hell.
Giving up again because life's too short, too short to breathe.
There's no elation, just dissociation, a numbness and silence that calms.
Escape from temptation, a need for cessation, it's killing me deeper inside.
Fear of the future and fear of a new life, just drives it all back to the start.

Conviction fades away again, it's just the way you see yourself, that's not the general view.
Build a wall of arrogance, hide away the truth.
Turn your back and truly walk away, takes all your strength.
Shit situation, the loss of sensation, there's nowhere to run from yourself.
Drown out the chaos, to focus on one thought, but everything gets in the way.

I'm done, fuck the world, a finger to it all.
Look around, see the hate, it makes me want to fail.
It makes me want to fail a grim reality.
Shame, guilt, regret, I'd have that over nothing no one's perfect, but many try.
Face your demons, that's part of what defines you lifelong feeling, new ways to heal.

There's no elation, just dissociation, a numbness and silence that calms.
Fear of the future and fear of a new life, that drives it all back to the start.
I'm done, fuck the world, a finger to it all.
Look around and see the hate, it makes me want to fail.
Shame, guilt, regret, I'd have that over nothing.
No one's perfect, but many try.
Shame, guilt, regret, I'd have that over nothing.
No one's perfect, but many try.
Face your demons, that's part of what defines you.
Lifelong feeling, new ways to heal.

5. Contradictions

They promised no austerity, to build a better place to live.
Just empty words to sway our trust, and lead us to another war.
Thrown into greater debt and public services are getting worse.
We're paying more to live and getting even less back in return.
It's burning down again, those glory days are gone forever now.
Ten years we'll be third world if we don't find the strength to stand our ground.
Win votes with promises, then all we get is contradictions.
Tell lies to win our trust, the memories are still fresh.
They fight to keep our faith, we fail to see the contradictions.
The truth is life's not fair, a different rule for everyone.

They promised change and did nothing, just made things worse for you and me.
Now we all must pay the price, and lose the freedom in our lives.
Win votes with promises, then all we get is contradictions.
Tell lies to win our trust, the memories are still fresh.
They fight to keep our faith, we fail to see the contradictions.
The truth is life's not so fair, a different rule for everyone.

The fear is real for us, we can't escape from it.
They promised no austerity, to build a better place to live.
Just empty words to win our trust, and lead us to another war.
They promised change and did nothing, just made things worse for you and me.
We can't go on, living like this caught in this fear, with all this hate.
It's time to change, to walk away, to see the truth and keep our faith.

6. Same Shit Different Decade

Why would the policy change? Society is structured for the rich.
Desperate in times of chaos but now we see the other side of this.
Dragged down reduced to nothing, we try to find a means a way to live.
Existence ain't a lifestyle, no quality just living to survive.
So what's the point in all the suffering? Another failure for the human race.
As nothing changes it's just getting worse, but still we're told this is democracy.
Time marches on, but the world stays the same we're controlled, we're held down, own opinions are swayed
Sell you a dream that ain't real just a lie the fact is you live just to work till you die.

Why would the policy change, there's nothing left to represent the rest.
Now see the bad decisions, the lives that they're destroying every day.
No change, no hints of progress, we're striving hard each day just to survive.
No point in asking questions the answers were forgotten long ago.
So what's the point in all the suffering? Another failure for the human race.
As nothing changes it's just getting worse, but still we're told this is democracy.

No truth, no faith, just words of faith.
So what's the point in all the suffering?
Another failure for the human race.
As nothing changes it's just getting worse, but still we're told this is democracy.
There's no escape from this and now we've lost our faith, we're drowning endlessly in all the bullshit.
The future looks so bleak, just giving up on life.
The pointless suffering, we can't go on like this.

7. Bitter Taste

Burn all your bridges and shun all your friends, you said the last time, but you're back there again.
All the drink and the drugs and the fucks and the fights,
It's amazing that you're still breathing life.
Control is the issue, a heavy descent, when every corner of your life is pretense.
When you drink to forget, to believe there's a way, or to get up and get on with your day.

Dark sensations like losing your mind, so many questions with the answers to find.
It's a fear, it's a dream, you will never believe, just turn around and walk away from this shit.
Strength is the key, never finding the cure, search for something that so honest and pure.
You could dwell on this shit for the rest of your life,
Try to change things and believe in yourself.

But you won't change tomorrow, if you waste today just one little drink to get you through the day.
Now you can't drown the sorrow, or kill the pain however hard you try, you miss that bitter taste.
Live again as your life descends and implodes, surrounded by your laughing crowd.
As your fears become all you know, it's just a matter of time until you go.
But you won't change tomorrow, if you waste today, just one little drink to get you through the day.
Now you can't drown the sorrow, or kill the pain, however hard you try, you miss that bitter taste.

8. Become Deceased

We slowly lose our minds, as we feed our misery.
Can't win these wars with anger play the victim lies.
Call out the true aggressors, hiding in their suits.
It's time to realise, it's up to all of us.
To change the way we live and build a better world.

We could wait to be chosen, or let it all fade away.
If these words go unspoken, how can things ever change.
It's time to realise it's up to all of us, to change the way we live and build a better world.
It's time to all wake up and lose our enemies, to end this suffering and let us all be free.
We slowly lose our minds, as we feed our misery. The hope we left behind has now become deceased.

Can't win these wars with anger play the victim lies.
Call out the true aggressors, hiding in their suits.
It's time to realise, it's up to all of us.
To change the way we live and build a better world.
We could wait to be chosen, or let it all fade away.
If these words go unspoken, how can things ever change.
You could wait for a lifetime or alter these things today.
Us and them ain't the answer strength in numbers means change.
We slowly lose our minds, as we feed our misery. The hope we left behind has now become deceased.
Become deceased.

9. Reckless Mind

See the aggression, the way that, you're living, you're making your way into hell.
It's time to change your life and see that all's not well giving up, falling down, still a way to go.
Lost information, from lost conversations, lessons are there to be learned.
Running out of promises, running from yourself take away the last remains and feel there's nothing left.
Open minds and open hearts, are quietly left to fade many try up to a point, but have to walk away.
Every fucking seed you've ever sewn, fails to grow.
Every fucking dream you've ever known, falls apart.

Promises, don't mean shit, when they don't make sense.
You'll never see, what needs to change, lying to yourself.
Turning blind, from what's inside, continue from it all.
It's more than intention it's self intervention, bringing you closer each day.
Every fucking seed you've ever sewn, fails to grow.
Every fucking dream you've ever known, falls apart.

Reckless mind, self medicate for silence wretched soul.
It fucking takes its toll, it's sets the scene for violence lose control.
See the aggression, the way that, you're living, you're making your way into hell.
It's time to change your life and see that all's not well giving up, falling down, still a way to go.
Lost information, from lost conversations, lessons are there to be learned.

10. Officer Down

[originally by Stampin' Ground]

When reason dies behind closed doors face down in a cell in a pool of piss
It's time to fear what we should respect it's time to question cause and effect
Striking with impunity hiding behind flags of immunity
When corruption rears its ugly head the force of law becomes a farce
Personal ambition usurps justice the rich protected at the expense of the poor
Would you sit on the fence, take no chance as those batons fall, turn a blind eye

In an ideal world there'd be no need for law no need for police
But in a society so sick so obsessed with blind greed
Someone has to protect the old and the weak
Officer down

Can we really afford to be so selectively blind if we dig too deep what would we find?
At authority's heart beats a dollar sign under such a regime we're all doing time
Striking with impunity hiding behind flags of immunity
Never say, you weren't warned when they come to drag you away
To silence the dissident hiding in us all they clench the fist of ordained might
From which side of the barbed wire do you want to see your life pass by?

When reason dies behind closed doors face down in a cell in a pool of piss
It's time to fear what we should respect it's time to question cause and effect
Who teaches the teachers who makes laws for lawmakers?
When they read us our rights what about human rights?

11. Strength Beyond Strength

[originally by Pantera]

There's nothing, no education no family life to open my arms to
You'd say my job is today, yet gone tomorrow I'll be broke in a gutter
I know the opinion a broken record
Fuck you and your college dream fact is, we're stronger than all

You're working for perfect bodies perfect minds and perfect neighbours
But I'm helping to legalize dope on your pristine streets and I'm making a fortune
You are muscle and gall naive at best
I am bone, brain and cock deep down stronger than all

A sad state of affairs a crippled America
A pipe dream butt-fucked immune stronger than all
We've grown into a monster an arrogant, explosive mother-fuck
Hard as a rock shut like a lock the president in submission
He holds out his hand on your television and draws back a stump
It's too late for some far too late hail kings the new kings stronger than all
A simple progress to legalize there would not be a choice but to take our side
Be there no question of certain strength know this intention
Forever stronger than all stronger than all
