Stiff Little Fingers

Stiff Little Fingers are a punk rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. They formed in 1977, at the height of the Troubles. They started out as a schoolboy band called Highway Star (named after the Deep Purple song), doing rock covers, until they discovered punk. They split up after six years and four albums, although they reformed five years later, in 1987. Despite major personnel changes, they are still touring and recording as of 2011. Jake Burns, their lead singer, is the only member to have been with the band during all its incarnations, but in March 2006, original bass guitarist Ali McMordie rejoined them following the departure of The Jam bass player Bruce Foxton after fifteen years. more »

Here's your mask 'nd here's your glove, it's all an arcade game
We call it 'Virtual Reality' so nothing's what it seems
Although we may want you to kill just do it now for fun
You play on the computer screen while these men load your gun
Men who only think of fortune no matter the price
Men who kill for sand and petrol never thinking twice

(Chorus:)
So let the young men fight, die in battle for the glory
And we know it's right so shoot son never worry
That your mother cries, she can't see the reason
Your battle cry is 'No surrender here at all'

Here's your mask and here's your gun it's no longer a game
This is absolute reality though it's not what it seems
We told you we need you to fight for freedom and for right
But what we want is our man restored, to hell with what he's like
Our man sells us oil and petrol at a price that's fair
Our man kills collaborators in the Public Square

(Chorus)

I believe in hopes and dreams, I believe in life
I don't believe in hate and greed, tyranny or spite

Might is right my will be done
I pull the trigger you fire the gun
No surrender
