Album: Stations Of The Crass
Chorus: Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well I've got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they've
got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain't got me
They can't buy my dignity
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I've got it all up here, see?
Tried to get me with a t.v. show
I wouldn't have none of it, no, no, no
Standards and values on a black and white screen
Sarah Farah Fawcett acting mean
She's got the lot, that's what they want you to think
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link
She's just a fucking puppet in their indoctrination plan
"Be like me girls, become a real man"
Live to the full, always act flash
Don't use your brains when your body makes the splash
Chorus
Tried to get me in the supermarket store
Bought what I wanted, they they said "buy more"
Mountains of crap that nobody really needs
Gaily coloured wrappers to suit assorted greeds
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link
Buy this product, pay for the crap
Quarter for the product, three quarters for the wrap
Be a happy family, like the people on the pack
Pay up to the profit, and you'll never look back
Chorus
Tried to get me with their learning and their books
Deep understanding and intelligent looks
All of the time, they never saw me
They were just looking for what they wanted to see
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link
Books are easy backs for what they want to do to you
Bind you up in slavery for the privileged few
They'll prove their lies with history
Say "that's the way it always was
Accept the shit and slavery, be one of us"
Chorus
Tried to get me with religion and with christ
Said I'd get to heaven if I acted real nice
They were just preparing a crucifix for me
A life of guilt, of sin, of pain, of holy misery
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link
The bible's just a blue print for their morality scene
Just another load of shit on how it's never been
They stand there in the pulpit, doling out their lies
Offering forgiveness, then they talk of eyes for eyes.
Chorus
Tried to get me, but I won't be got
Say I'm a misfit, I say I'm not
I never set out to profit from another
Those smarmy bastards would steal from their mother
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link
Plundered and slaughtered in the name of truth
Acceptance of normality is what they want from you as proof
They think they've got the answers
But there's something that they miss
Their cup which overfloweth, is JUST FULL UP OF PISS
Chorus
