Banned from the Roxyok I never much liked playing there anyway They said they only wanted well behaved boys Do they think guitars and Microphones are just toys? Well, i've chosen to make my stand Against what I feel is wrong with this land They just sit there on their overfed asses Feeding off the sweat of Less fortunate classes They keep their power cos their Finger's on the button They got control and won't Let it be forgotten The truth of their reality is at The end of a gun The proof is all in history and is no fun Seeing the army in your front yard Seeing the machine guns resting on the fence Finding the entrance to your door is bared And they got the nerve to call back defence Seems their defence is a just The threat of strength Protection for the privileged at any length The government protecting their profit's From the poor the rich and the fortunate Chaining up the door Afraid that the people may ask For a little bit more Than the shit they get, the shit they get The shit they get the shit they get Defence it's nothing less than war And no one but the government Knows what it's for Oh yes they say it's defence Say it's decency Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean? The same lies with depressing frequency They say "We had to do it To keep our lives clean" Well whose life? Who are they talking to? I'll tell you one thing, it ain't me and you And their systems, christ, they're everywhere School, army, church, the corporation deal Our reality based on fear A conspiracy to stop you feeling real But they're wrong i'd say they're wrong I swear they're wrong i know they're wrong I ain't quite ready with my gun But we've always got our song so i've been Banned from the Roxy, Ok Never much like playing there anyways
