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 system that creates the need for war,

The elite would have to run like it's never run before...

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


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

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


We don't need organising

Or politicians being patronising.

We don't need their leadership,

Trendy lefties being hip.

Don't need their condescension

Or their back to root pretension.

We've heard it all before,

Politicians saying No more war,


Pulling wool across our eyes.

We don't need their dangerous lies.

We won't accept capitulation,

It's just manipulation.

They want the smooth without the rough,

But words and gestures aren't enough.

We've got to learn to reject all leaders

And the passive shit they feed us...


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

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


If you think moderation's going to pave the way to peace...

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

What good is moderation 'gainst the army and police?

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

We're not promoting mindless violence, keep that for the fools,

We're simply saying be prepared to break their laws and rules,

Let them know the bigger they come, the harder they will fall...

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


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

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


If they're going to play it dirty, so are we...

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

They can keep their lies about the land of the free...

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

We've allowed them too often to use their iron fist,

But there's one little detail they appear to have missed...

You don't have to be PASSIVE just because you're a PACIFIST...

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


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

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


They'll try to sell their system

Like it's some kind od age-old wisdom,

But we've been had like that before,

It's just the rich exploiting the poor.

Well here's an honest confession,

We think it's time they learnt a lesson.

They've tried to hold the people down,

But we've simply gone underground,

Moving in the darkness looking for the light,

Looking for a future and ready to fight.

Looking for the freedom that's been denied,

Fast to attack and fast to hide.

In a world where the people can't make it,

They've simply got to learn to break it,

And if the wealthy aren't prepared to shake it...

O.K., we'll simply have to take it...


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

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

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

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