Seemed appropriate for this, a repost from last year.


Fear


I wanna go underground
protect myself
For fear is coming.
Society’s become ball of fear
And it plays a serious game
With its shock horror stories
Shock horror headline
like lemmings!
They want us under control
You’ll die without a condom unrolled
Have a heart attack if you use full fat
Cant drink this cant drink that
Suicidal cavalry attack
I cant keep my finger in my ear long enough
To black it out
Tough hit they say
the paranoid bit will firmly fit
Between the masses teeth grit slavering tongue spit
We shout and resist and express
Try and make our voices heard
And then they unplug the mic
And roll us like an obedient ball down the hill
Following Fear
I’m a mad motorists in a  rage
and car crime alarm shrill and page full of poems
about after hour drinking time violence
on the street
its not safe to go out
course it is.
And the leaves on the tracks
Make the trains late
So we fear the weather
What a brainshake cocktail they’re mixing
Its working
grinding us down slowly
breeding spawning
global warming
this weird scary science
this fear science
The brimstone, falling
Religion
and
doped out youll definitely die
A dick dastardly depressive death
without
Valium, suicide Seroxat
Overheated thermostat
Turn it down
blank it out
But Don’t censor  me
I’m a free man
Drowning in drink
this schools
of fish feeding frenzy
things that go wrong
Not for what always goes right
That bloody radio Newspaper
Fear selling shite ideas
He has a beard- must be a suicide bomber
A potential target in inverted commas
You think of a fancy name for him to scare us
but no
Take a closer look he’s just a man
With a razor blade
Fear a weapon you see
A tool
the powerful use it
Rule
The latest plane crash
the terrorist cache of arms
and flocking In your street
bird flu
I’m sickened by a flock of chickens
an airborne virus
a human zoo of souls lost
the drive through
knife crime Shooting cost
Up Veins
stains
monsters blamed for everything
scapegoats in the toilets
Strange men in toilets
the flies are unzipped
this Fear of house drop dip
Or interest rate rise
Rising this rising that
Men at the top fat cats
Fuckers running it all
 Ill drink to that plastered
Our government masters
Measure the alcoholic units
But They don’t care
Blot it out they  top it up
So here we are my 1984 friends
Smile you’re on camera
Kept Half alive
By Robots
And mechanical hearts
For which the captors hold the keys
with
rechargeable Batteries
and Norton virus personalities

Constantly scanning
For attack
