1. _ Present Arms
You got no job you got no pay
Join the military, sign today
They`ll take you off to fight on foreign shores
You`ll be your mother`s pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero that shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They`ll teach you to ignore the screams and tears

2. _ One In Ten
(chorus)
I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though i don`t exist
Nobody knows me
Even though i`m always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care
My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I`m the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime?
I`m the child that never learns to read
`cause no-one spared the time
(chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc
I`m the murderer and the victim
The licence with the gun
I`m a sad and bruised old lady
In an ally in a slum
I`m a middle aged businessman
With chronic heart disease
I`m another teenaged suicide
In a street that has no trees
(chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc
I`m a starving third world mother
A refugee without a home
I`m a house wife hooked on valium
I`m a pensioner alone
I`m a cancer ridden spectre
Covering the earth
I`m another hungry baby
I`m an accident of birth.
(chorus)
I am the one in ten .... etc

3. _ Don`t Slow Down
You might believe, and still you feel
The chase has just begun;
That you must reach that horizon before
The setting of the sun.
You chase the light in front of you,
Nightfall close behind;
If you stop to catch your breath,
You know what you will find.
(chorus)
Don`t slow down don`t touch the ground,
You know what you will find;
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind.
No time to stop, don`t go to sleep,
Prepare to pay the cost.
The hours and minutes are passing by,
Another day is lost.
Impatience is a virtue,
Catch me if you can.
The seconds have been ticking by
Since your life began.

4. _ Tyler
Appeal to the governor of louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It`s been nearly five years
And they won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers its all for show
With rows of white faces
False accusations
He`s framed up for murder
They won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler ..... etc
Police gun was planted
No matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
They show him no mercy
They won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler...... etc
Appeal to the governor of louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It`s been nearly five years
And they won`t let him go
(chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler .... etc

5. _ Sardonicus
A human statue made of living stone
A paradox etched in human bone
If you could look behind his thin disguise
There`s a hidden glint of madness in his eyes.
Many men are fooled by his smile
His superficial grace his charm his style
Sardonicus is everybody`s friend
Sardonicus keeps smiling to the end.

6. _ The Piper Calls The Tune
He wields his flute with an expert hand
And then, all too soon
The dancing stops and the children stand
The piper calls the tune.
He holds their future in his palm
An old and powerful man
With missiles poised and bombs at hand
They wait for his command.
With songs of fear and bigotry
A cruel, hypnotic sound
He plays his last tune greedily
And strikes the children down.

7. _ Folitician (remix)
(chorus)
Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
Mek you go long so.
Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
Mek you go long so.
You come chatty chatty chatty run up you` mouth; (repeat)
One man, one vote you hear from the shout. (repeat)
You full of pure promise but you tell damn` lies; (repeat)
You make a mistake and then somebody dies. (repeat)
Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician
Me seh hey folitician
What you doin `bout the slums?
You sit around all day, jus` a twiddle your thumbs;
You have a strange expression
Mek you look like you` dumb. (repeat)
You worry everybody `til you put them in a box. (repeat)
Dub freak gone
Gone go check him record shop,
Gone go check him record stock.
Him climb upon the box
Him said him got to reach the top;
Him climb upon the shelf
Him seh you take care yourself.
Him dance upon the floor
Him said a music galore. (repeat)
Dub freak, dub freak
Deh `pon the go;
Say you never know
Because i told you so.
Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash; (repeat)
Drummer `pon him drum, him jus` a play mish-mash. (repeat)
Keyboards in the middle jus`a jump and twiddle. (repeat)
Rhythm over here an` me seh rhythm over there;
Don`t stop and stare because the rhythm gone clear.
Dub freak, dub freak, in a dub freak style
Dub freak, dub freak, still a running wild.
Him start from the bottom `til him reach up the top
Him keep on rocking and him never stop.
Wow and flutter, music jus`
A run like butter. (repeat)
Dub a slip an` slide
Dub a slip an` slide
Dub a slip an` slide,
He can`t find nowhere to hide.

8. _ Burden Of Shame
There are murders that we must account for
Bloody deeds have been done in my name
Criminal acts we must pay for
And our children will shoulder the blame
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While i carry the burden of shame (repeat)
As a nation we`re following blindly
No-one stops to question why
Our money`s supporting an army
And a boy in soweto dies
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While i carry the burden of shame (repeat)
Must we go on ignoring forever
The cries of an african son
There`s a soldier`s hand on the trigger
But it`s we who are pointing the gun
(chorus)
I`m a british subject, not proud of it
While i carry the burden of shame (repeat)

9. _ Food For Thought
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.
Skin and bones is creeping, does`nt know he`s dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician`s argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.
(chorus)
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Hear the bells are ringing, christmas on it`s way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of mary is born again today.
(chorus)
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

10. _ Love Is All Is Alright (remix)
(chorus)
Love is all is alright
But you left it a little to late
Love is all is alright
But you`ve got to find a little more hate.
Take the man in the white cloak
A pointed mask to hide his face
Murders in the name of religion
If you`re not the right colour or race.
Take the man in the black cloak
He`s holding justice in his hands,
Lets the man in the white cloak go,
Calls it the law of the land.
(chorus)
Love is all is alright.......etc
Take the man in the brown shirt
A burning hatred in his eyes
Fired by ignorant reaction,
Fanned by political lies
Take the man in the blue cap
His back`s against the wall
Links arms with the man in the brown shirt
He`s trying to break his own fall.
(chorus)
Love is all is alright.....etc
