lyrics

Hate Mail
Little missy sitting pretty, waiting for the tube
Her mind’s no wider than her alice band, she’s never seen the other side
At public school she learned the rules on how to have it all
And then at university, no need to think, just have a ball
She reads her morning paper, it’s her window on the world
She only skims the headlines but that’s still enough to poison minds
Everything she thinks she knows, confirmed in black and white
God is in his heaven and the leader writer speaks of what is right

A world defined by narrow minds where everything conforms
To opinions based on ignorance, self-centered fear and spite
A nation held in thrall to all this doggerel and these lies
I know you’ll always think you’re right with God and Middle England on your side

She reads of single mothers and their scrounging off the state
Left wing councils wasting millions, let’s just leave them to their fate
Asylum seekers coming here in search of streets of gold
Let’s send them back where they belong, even if they’re sick and old
No good idlers signing on and working cash in hand
Destroy the black economy, let’s practice zero tolerance
The world you see is rational, you get what you deserve
Let’s praise the rich and powerful and save our hatred for the feckless poor

Focus groups and think tanks and the blinded and the bland
The bull-barred middle classes drive triumphant up and down this land
Politics dictated by the don’t knows and don’t cares
Ignorance is now a virtue, the guiding principle of our affairs

Slow Faction image

Slow Faction London, UK

“Slow Faction is a 1st generation-influenced punk band with a real London 77 sound. The aim of Slow Faction is simple – to make the music they want to hear; politically-charged songs with big hooks and choruses, reminiscent of the 1st wave of British punk. Slow Faction’s live sound has been described as a cross between The Clash and The Buzzcocks.” ... more
