Bound To Lose 03:22
lyrics

Calling all you fascists, You may be surprised, That people across the world, Are getting organised You’re bound to lose All you fascists, bound to lose. Nĭ hăo, Xí Jìnpíng, You have been mistook, Cos not all westerners are quite as stupid as they look, You’re bound to lose, You fascist-commies bound to lose. Hej Grêːta Tʉ̂ːnbærj, With your angry face, You've got here far too late to win the ‘Save The Planet’ race, You’re bound to lose, Green-fascist-commies bound to lose. People from Big Pharma, You deserve to stretch, Very, very slowly, With nooses round your necks, You’re bound to lose, Big Pharma, bound to lose. All you puppet-monkeys, Dancing round and round, From Johnson to Joe Biden, Your masters have you bound You’re bound to lose, Cabal Deep State Freemason monkeys bound to lose. All you fascists, bound to lose. And all you fascist commies, bound to lose. I said all you fascist commies, bound to lose. You're bound to lose, you fascist commies bound to lose. All green fascist commies, bound to lose. I said all green fascist commies, bound to lose. All you green fascist commies, bound to lose. You're bound to lose, you fascist commies bound to lose. Green commie pharma fascists, bound to lose. Cabal green commie pharma fascists, bound to lose. Deep state green commie pharma fascists, bound to lose. You're bound to lose, cabal green commie pharma fascists, bound to lose. Bound to lose, cabal green commie pharma fascist illuminati, Bound... to... lose.

A New Normal 05:22
lyrics

It was 2021 when I wrote this song, I am 63/4 now, but I won’t be for long, Cos I’m a firm believer in the jab of the arm, And I follow the science, says it will do you no harm. I know a bit about fascism and history, But that was bloody yesterdee, The times have a-changed and now I’m with the Dark Side, I’m just following orders, from medical apartheid… I don’t want to catch a cold, I’m only looking for a new normal, I just want to feel relaxed, Just show your passports at the door, Things won't be the same anymore, I’m only safe, when you are vaxed. You loved me then, and you love me still, I am glad about that, cos I need to pay the bills, My live business, has gone to shit, Ever since the covid, pan-demic hit. I want to be with you forever, Now that can happen as, we are all in this together, We must protect the En Aych Ess, Just a few more weeks, to get us out of this mess… I don’t want to catch a cold, I’m only looking for a new normal, I just want, to feel relaxed, Show your passports at the door, Shared respon-sib-il-ity, I’m only safe when you are vaxed. My head was getting very dark, So, I stood with people in the park, They had some rational ideas, And said some things, to allay my fears. Once upon a time at home, I read some posts on Telegram, They said that none of it was true, That the virus was no worse than Flu. I still don’t want to catch a cold, I’m not looking for a new normal, And I just want to relax. Scrap those passports at the door, Do you be-lieve the Bee Bee See? Do you feel free, when you are vaxed? I still don’t want to catch a cold, I’m not looking for a new normal, And I just want to relax. Scrap those passports at the door, Things won't be the same anymore, Do you feel free, when you are vaxed? Do you feel free, when you are vaxed? Do you feel free, when you are vaxed? Do you feel free, when you are vaxed? Do you feel free, when you are vaxed? Cos I'm relaxed, now you are vaxed.

What's That Sound? 04:28
lyrics

There's somethin' happenin' here. What it is, ain't exactly clear. A person, with a shield in their hand, Is telling me, where I can and where I can’t stand. I think it's time we stop, People, what's that sound? Everybody knows what's goin' down. Infectious illness strikes deep. Into your mind, it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. Step out-of-line, and the army might take you away. You better stop. People, what's that sound? Everyone look what's goin' down. What a field day for the news, Who only ever give one point of view, They’re never wrong, and they’re always right, Facing so much corruption, from the inside. You better stop. People, what's that sound? Everyone knows what's goin' down. Stop, people, What's that sound? Everyone knows what's goin' down. Myocarditis, on the rise, Healthy footballers are dropping like flies. There are millions a-marchin’ in the street, Carrying signs to remind us, we are sovereign and free. You better stop. People, what's that sound? Everyone knows what's goin' down. 16 x Stop, people, what's that sound? Everyone knows what's goin' down.

Clear The Skies 03:34
lyrics

Can you see, the chemtrails flowing? Criss-cross patterns, in the sky, Do the pilots, know what they’re doing? Do they want us all to die? We need the sunlight, to grow our food and… Feed our families, on the ground, Will you let, this silent killer, Do its job, without a sound? Everybody, get together, Make a stand, against this war, Raise your voices, now or never, Clear the sky, for evermore. Curse our leaders, and our gaolers, Make the whole wide world take heed, Rising inflation, and mass surveillance, Strike at every, race and creed, Must they make, each home a dungeon? Murder folk, in our homeland? Shall we cower, by the truncheon, Or rise up, and make a stand? Everybody, get together, Hand in hand, against this war, Raise your voices, now or never, Clear the sky, for evermore. Lift your heads up, to the heavens, Will you tell me, what you see? Lines of vapour, in the airwaves, That aren’t made there, naturally, You can say, it’s only water, It won’t do us, any harm, Like the lambs, led to the slaughter, It is working, like a charm. Everybody, get together, Make a stand, against this war, Raise your voices, now or never, Clear the skies, for evermore. Everybody, get together, Make a stand, against this war, Raise your voices, now or never, Clear the sky, for ever… more…

Spirit Of The West 04:40
lyrics
buy track
When first I came to En-ger-land, My refuge for to seek, I was given a sanctuary, Cos I could hardly speak, They said that I was welcome here, I was treated like a guest, The invitation showed to me, The spirit of The West. I heard that it is customary, For those who lend a hand, To get the thanks, from immigrants, For lending out their land, I’ve said that I am grateful, I shall give what I’m behest, And I’ve been told, this does uphold, The spirit of The West. So I slave away, for little pay, As a prisoner in chains, While those in charge can make it large And id-le people act like drains, But no-one seems unhappy here, And if they are, they could protest, To a distant shore we sail aboard, The spirit of… the spirit of… the spirit of… The W-e-e-e-e-st.

We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome, some day-ay-ay-ay-ay, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome, some day. We’ll walk hand in hand, We’ll walk hand in hand, We’ll walk hand in hand, some day-ay-ay-ay-ay, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We'll walk hand in hand, some day. We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, some day-ay-ay-ay-ay, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall live in peace, some day. The truth will set us free, The truth will set us free, The truth will set us free, some day-ay-ay-ay-ay, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, The truth will set us free, some day. We are not afraid, We are not afraid, We are not afraid, to-day-ay-ay-ay-ay, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We are not afraid, to-day. The whole wide world around, The whole wide world around, The whole wide world around, some day-ay-ay-ay-ay, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, The whole wide world around, some day. We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome, some day-ay-ay-ay-ay, Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, We shall overcome, some day.
