The Mighty Roar

It sometimes seems as if one person can't make much difference. Don’t give up hope. Like droplets of water become a stream and streams conjoin to become a mighty river our voices and actions combine to become greater than the sum of our parts. Single voices amplified become a million voices justified. Our individual voices together become a Mighty Roar

Liberation not consumerism
It's in your hands. It's on your plate
The decision is yours to choose their fate
Processed into "product". It's on your plate
It's in your hands to choose their fate
You eat their body. It's on your plate
Disassociated from their face
Limbs and entrails. It's on your plate
Disassociated from their face
Chasing vegan pounds the new burger's animal free
And it’s making lots of money for the death factory
KKKFC, McMurder and MurderKing
As you line their pockets, the tills ring kerching
Mass murderers of animals, you're pumping their profits
Corporation cashes in. You're in their pocket
As you hand over your cash you fund the slaughter line
You prop up infrastructure to murder millions
The jolly clown or colonel sells corpses with a smile
But look behind the mask there’s fear and death and bile
We used to brick their windows now you queue to get in
This isn’t liberation you're just consuming
Liberate
Or consume?
Liberated?
Consumed?

Blindsided

Turn a Blind eye – and you won’t see them die
Turn a Blind eye – how many dead?......Dead?
Say never again then turn a blind eye (blind eye blind eye)
Watching as animals are lined up to die
Animals abused, each and everyday (day day day day)
Avert your eyes have you got nothing to say?
Turn a Blind eye – So many will die
How many dead in the blink of an eye?....I...
say never again, then turn a blind eye (blind eye blind eye)
Watching as humans, sign up to die
Dispensing of life, across barren lands (dead land dead land)
Say never again, then turn a blind eye

Look throughout history
As far back as we can see
Wars were just like shadows
Landmarks of decay
The truth behind the lies
The Price for Sacrifice
Man’s laughter?
Manslaughter !
Symbols of mankind
invented to enslave
Humiliate and submit
Filling empty graves

Co-operate or Die!
02:04

Ever increased profits, constant expansion.
Increase the dividends, reduce costs of production
Stealing people’s land. stealing people’s time. poisoning the land
taking people’s lives.
Extracting all the “wealth” - short term monetary gain.
Leaving desert wasteland: no greenery or grain
Colonisers seize the land. they pay for the dirty work with a dollar
in the hand but they don’t fire the bullets.
Balance sheets don’t show the true cost of the business.
Someone’s paying somewhere for someone else’s profits
Collectively progress or individually diminish.
Together we thrive Or apart we are finished
Drinking water is becoming the new oil.
Our continued survival depends on healthy soil.
Below the poverty line billions toil.
Is this the survival test Humanity will Fail?
Coexist in peace or individualists in war
Which of these futures are worth striving for?
A world for the many, controlled by stakeholders
Or a future as slaves and pawns to the shareholders?
Co-operate or Die!

Arteries clogged with Decaying matter: Fatberg diet
All the shit
All the piss
Wet Wipes
Cooking Oil
Excrement
Congealed Mass
Think shit Talk Shit Excrement Thought Waves : Fatberg mentality
Flushed and forgotten Problems Mounting ; Fatberg future

Elsewhere APARTHEID
Conscripted young soldiers.
Tanks and state backed bulldozers.
Dwellings torn down, Families forced away.
Settler colonies spring up in their place.
Racist policies discriminate - Deny rights in a two tier system.
Perpetrate inhumane wrongs.
Negate basic human rights
They block humanitarian supplies
Of medicines, power and food.
Doctors killed in airstrikes on hospitals.
Collective punishment of civilians.
Soldiers armed with machine guns arrest and shoot children throwing stones.
First deny people their humanity...
Can you see the similarity?
If there's 2 standards of life and ethnicity Is how you decide,
The only word to describe this system has to be apartheid.
Boycott Divestment Sanctions. Protest and targeted actions.
Like South Africa in the 80s - Until Palestine is free

Assassinate Murder Torture and Rape
Welcome to the new British Police State
British army freely committing war crimes
MI5 given an open mandate
Authorisation of criminal conduct
by Covert Human Intelligence Source
Spycops given full impunity
More power to the secret police force
The state befouls your human rights
One of us might disappear in the night
New law: spies now licensed to kill
007 from fiction made flesh
State ordered human rights abuses
The gun cocks, one click.Now you're next
Remember the Disappeared in Pinochets Chile
In Russia, East Germany, the Third Reich
Assassinate and torture in the North of Ireland
They can rub you out whenever they like
Miscarriages of justice across the land
Death squads and kidnappings crushing dissent
Watch what you say or they'll take you away
With the backing of the Mother of all Parliaments
No use relying on your innocence
No trial they immediately pass sentence
Execution - Summary justice
State backed murderers face no consequence
Out of mind out of sight
One of us might disappear in the night

Free The Beagles
02:40

Animal experiments are alive and well
The Breeding farm is the gateway to hell
Loaded in a truck and out through the gates
Torture and death in the laboratory awaits
Cruel and unnecessary but it's still legal
Free free free the beagles
The breeders keep their secret well hidden from view
Animals bred with a single intent
Not seen as a sentient, feeling individual
Just a tool for inhumane experiments
Cruel experiments "regulatory tests"
Poisoned then killed, to test fertiliser
Poisoned then killed, to test pain relief
There is no science here, there is no science here

Assembly Line of Death
slave labour, overcrowding. short life expectancy
this is business as usual in the garment factory
As punks what can we do? we've all got the right to choose
in our hands, up to me and you - we can give sweatshops the boot
prison camp conditions, respiratory disease
this dirty secret can't be washed away
union busting, human rights abuses.
we wear their oppression every day
revolutionary slogan proclaiming rights
emblazoned across your chest
but the blood of workers taints this shirt
from the assembly line of death
When you’re sorting out the merch
For your campaign group or band
It’s time to choose sweatshop free
Join us and take a stand
Give sweatshops the boot !
....this t shirt fights sweatshops
