Subhumans - Ex-teenage Rebel lyrics

When I asked you to lend me a fiver You said you were already broke And when I explained you were living in chains You a**umed it was some sort of joke You wanted a job and then got one And learned jokes about s**, Jews, and blacks Got married to help pay the mortgage Got wound up when you had to pay tax What happened to you with your ideas? What happened to all your hopes and fears? Ex-Teenage rebel- same old story When I asked you what you thought of the arms race Asking you who d gonna win? You remembered a man on the telly and said I agree with him You say everything s alright really You say that I m just paranoid You tell me it s always been the same And there s some things I cannot avoid So what happened to your old opinions? The thoughts that you had for so long? That inspired a thousand rebellions Against what was and still is so wrong You tell me you used to be crazy And paranoid like I am now You soon realized There was no reason why So you gave up and soon settled down And I tell you that you are the problem Which is why you can t see it no more The strength of us all could demolish the wall But you chose to walk through the door Living a life of compromise What you re supporting is what you despised Was all that you said just a useful disguise? Or was it all just little white lies? Little white lies To help you survive Is there no guilt in your mind? Is there no guilt in your eyes?
