One Minute Silence

One Minute Silence is a four-piece band based in London that combined influences from metal, hardcore punk and rap and as of 2010 they have sold over 500,000 albums. The band consists of vocalist Brian 'Yap' Barry from Templemore, Co. Tipperary, guitarist Massimo Fiocco from Limerick City, drummer Martin Davies and bass guitarist Glen Diani. The band announced its split after eight years in a press release dated 21 October 2003. The band officially reconvened without original drummer Eddie Stratton in 2011. Although the band members claimed not to be a "political band" — they are simply "political people" who are also musicians, they say — the group's lyrics have a political message which can be interpreted as generally anti-capitalist and anarchist.[citation… more »

Step. 
Step back, step away,
Kindly stay the f*ck away from me,
What I am is what I am.

Let me live as I please, more than just a name,
Number, pawn, puppet, f*ck it.
I'm a man, person, look, see, closer please, touch, feel,
Flesh, yes real, like you I bleed, I hurt, I touch, I f*ck, I need.

I possess what you need, individuality, often heard of, rarely seen.
Let me come clean. 
You can't take this away from me,
You can't take this away from me,

You can't take this away from me,
You can't take this away! 
Step back, keep away, keep yourself to yourself
Your opinion on a shelf, your presence isn't welcome, but felt,

Never tasted life, just smelt. Folded rather than gamble,
Deal with what was dealt. Bitterness felt. 
Sucked into a circle of fools and tools and rules.
Wanting all to conform to the norm and lose.

Submit to fit, f*ck that, suck this.
Complacement like pigs in shit. Waist high and you still sit. 
You can't take this away from me,
You can't take this away from me,

You can't take this away from me,
You can't take this away! 
You!

You!
You!
You! 
Wide awake, I'm a step ahead of all of you.

I cannot understand your narrow minded attitude.
Step beside me, stand beside me fool.
You'll always be a number,
Always be another tool.

Not me, not me, not me, not this boy.
Never gonna bend, never gonna comply.
Not me, not me, not me, not this boy.
Step right down to this. 

Know, know that you are nobody, nobody, nothing to me.
Brother, my ass, not fit to be, and never will be.
Love thy sister, brother.
Respect for one another.

Nice dream, but where have you been?
Another planet it would seem.
Come back down to earth, let me show you what I've seen.
I hurt, I touch, I f*ck, I need. 

I possess what you need,
I possess what you need,
I possess what you need,
I possess what you need,

I possess what you need! 
You can't take this away from me,
You can't take this away from me,
You can't take this away from me,

You can't take this away from me. 
You can't take this away from me,
You can't take this away from me.
You can't take this away from me,

You can't take this away!
