Oh the chaos in my head – Thatcher, IDS, Crass, Wolves and the future of the working classes

Crass, ids, Opportunity, Thatcher, working class, youth

Just what have you a right to expect out of life? You have a right to be free from oppression and being thrown to the wolves, hence we have a benefits system, but you also have a right to work for a FAIR wage. The benefits that are paid to people are not enough to live on with the current prices of food, rents etc..so it really isn’t right where a job doesn’t pay enough to encourage those who want to and can work to get a job.

Thatcher started the rot with destroying apprenticeships, with YTS, IDS is destroying the benefits system but still allowing employers to pay next to nothing wages. Which moves me onto the Wolves, certain players are simply fucking shit players on 20-40k a week  and don’t appear to be making an effort, whilst fans are paying a fortune to watch their non performance. Where is the justice, no wonder people only want to become famous or marry a footballer!

Do they owe us a living – OH COURSE THEY FUCKIN DO!

Free Speech for all those that have no voice.

alternative, Crass, free speech, music

With the talk of statutory regulation for journalists and newspapers, and continues legal action against social media sites – is there really free speech, or can laws be twisted and distorted to prevent anything being published as long as you have the money to do so.

Music has always been away to pass comment as artistic license can be argued in many cases – the difficulty is that it is near impossible to hear anything different let alone poliyical, without wading through all the dross on the internet. The independent record labels have virtually died, and radio has become so commercial so I don’t waste my time; I would have thought somebody would have tried to step into the massive gap left by John Peel.

Where have all the protest singers gone? Or does everybody want to win X Factor?

Chaos in Birmingham Prison run by……you guessed it G4S

Crass, g4s, securicor

What the fuck is ‘Clueless’ Cameron even thinking about letting them near any future private enterprise contacts, anyone would think he had shares in the incompetent Company.

They potentially fuck up the Olympics, now 4 prison officers are in hospital as a riot spreads through jail – if you want security done badly G4S are the people for you.

Wait and watch when the proposal for the army to be made of predominately reservists is given to G4S.

All together now – ‘he’s a private in a private army’.

G4S: There’s no privates in their private army – very few turn up for duty

Crass, g4s, Olympics, Security

 Further to my post a few months ago about G4S staff being incompetent (see here), it is becomming apparent that anybody who has been employed by G4S for the Olympics has either had no training or not turning up. Candidates have been talking openly on the radio saying that G4S is such an incompetent Company that they had given up waiting due to lack of communication, but it is felt that people like this have been included in G4S numbers.

Only 20 members of its security staff from 300 originally contracted have turned up for various Olympic duties in Surrey, with the police having to fill in. If I were the Police Commissioner or in charge of the armed forces I would tell the Govt to fuck off as budgets have been cut, therefore so should the service they offer.

Perhaps the Olympic Commitee should create a new event called ‘SECURING THE OLYMPICS’ with each country putting in a team.

Crass, good poetry, I ain't thick, indoctrination, jeffrey Lewis, missing link

Good songs can stand up to being good poetry (therefore I have left out the chorus’)

Oh yeah? Well I’ve got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they’ve got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain’t got me, they can’t buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I’ve got it all up here?

Tried to get me with a T.V. show,
But I wouldn’t have none of it, no, no, no.
Standards and values on a black and white screen,
Sarah Farah Fawcett acting mean.
She’s got the lot, that’s what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you’ll see the missing link.
She’s just a fucking puppet in their indoctrination plan,
“Be like me girls and become a real man,”
Live to the full, always act flash,
Don’t use your brains when your body makes the splash.

Tried to get me in the supermarket store,
Bought what I wanted, they they said “buy more.”
Mountains of crap that nobody really needs,
Gaily coloured wrappers to suit assorted greeds.
They’ve got the lot, that’s what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you’ll see the missing link.
Buy this product, pay for the crap,
Quarter for the product, three quarters for the wrap.
Be a happy family, like the people on the pack,
Pay up to the profit, and you’ll never look back.

Deep understanding and intelligent looks,
All of the time, they never saw me,
They were just looking for what they wanted to see.
They’ve got the lot, that’s what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you’ll see the missing link.
Books are easy backs for what they want to do to you,
Bind you up in slavery for the privileged few,
They’ll prove their lies with history, say “that’s the way it always was,
Accept the shit and slavery, be one of us.”

Tried to get me with religion and with christ,
Said I’d get to heaven if I acted real nice,
But they were just preparing a crucifix for me,
A life of guilt, of sin, of pain, of holy misery.
They’ve got the lot, that’s what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you’ll see the missing link.
The bible’s just a blue print for their morality scene,
Just another load of shit on how it’s never been.
They stand there in the pulpit, doling out their lies,
Offering forgiveness, then they talk of eyes for eyes.

Tried to get me, but I won’t be got,
Say I’m a misfit but I say I’m not,
I never set out to profit from another,
Those smarmy bastards would steal from their mother.
They’ve got the lot, that’s what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you’ll see the missing link.
They plundered and slaughtered in the name of truth,
Acceptance of normality is what they want from you as proof,
They think they’ve got the answers, but there’s something that they miss,
Their cup which overfloweth, is JUST FULL UP OF PISS.

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well I’ve got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they’ve got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain’t got me, they can’t buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I’ve got it all up here, see.

Crass – I ain’t thick

For those who don’t like punk there is a folky version by Jeffrey Lewis (I think it still holds the sentiment).
