lyrics

The Definition of Madness

I’ve seen the city lights – they’re shining brighter than before
The money men are happy now – they live as though above the law
With zero hours, enslave the poor – big business doesn’t care at all
Donations to the ruling class – ensures the profits stay offshore
I think we’ve seen this all before

This is the definition of madness – we’re doing it all again
Just doing the same thing again and again – we’re doing it all again
How can we expect a different outcome – we’re doing it all again
Until we curb this arrogance and greed

Create a playground for the rich – as Knightsbridge swings and thinks it’s hip
No questions asked of provenance – their laundered money’s welcome here
Sell national assets behind closed doors as they privatise hospitals and schools
Award the bids to companies which offer paid directorships
The politicians’ benefit

It’s just the same old story
The end of history now
Capital is King they say, there’ll never be another way
As the guilty walk scot free
They use the word austerity
As their narrative to wage class war.


Now it’s time to start the revolution – up against the wall
And put these bastards up against the wall – up against the wall
Now it’s time to start the fight for justice – up against the wall
And end this madness once and for all

about

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
