Filth Machine

We are the Myth Creators
We drive the Filth Machine
We're masters of the thin disguise
We put the poison in your daily paper
poison on your TV screen
We pump you full of lies
We got all the information
We got everything you need
We got all you need to know
Feed you by injection
Poison everything you read
Wax Vitriolic and in full flow

We got it all
We got everything you need
And it's all lies

We rule by soft deception
Tell you what you want to hear
We spill the dirt we name the names
Fuel your every misconception
Who to hate and who to fear
We show you where to lay the blame
When the truth's too much to handle
When the facts are hard to bear
Disclosure might whip up a storm
We'll dig up some pathetic scandal
Some sad back bench affair
And keep the public disinformed

We got it all
We got everything you need
And it's all lies

All I see is
All I hear is
All I see is
All I see All I hear

We got it all
We got everything you need
And it's all lies

Prime Time

How are we going to use this time?
With remission in mind
We got the pick of the Prime Time
Tell me what you gonna do with your time?
Tell me have you got something in mind?
You gonna give us a sign
We gonna hit the big time
or a flatline
Now we've hit upon hard times

What you gonna do? what you gonna do?
When it hits?
Tell me what you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it all comes crashing down?
What you gonna do? what you gonna do?
When your name comes up?
What you gonna do when your world comes crumbling down?

You can sit around making plans
Sit on your hands
Got your heads in the sands again
You comprehend but you don't understand
Is that your mouth or just a gaping hole?
Can you tell me something I don't know?
Say it's a no-go go-slow
Well I know but that's not what I want to hear about

What you gonna do? what you gonna do?
When it hits?
Tell me what you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it all comes crashing down?
What you gonna do? what you gonna do?
When your name comes up?
What you gonna do when your world comes crumbling down?

Pay Day

If everybody got something to give
We all got something to give
That's gonna help you to live
Then how come we got so many on the take?
You see you've got to know you're place in the line
You've got to know your position in relation to the dime
Well soon that line is bound to break

Then you'd better believe
You'd better believe it
You'd better believe in something
You'd better believe in something strong
But you're playing for time
Pretending you're blind
When the end of the line is coming
And we've been waiting far too long, For pay-day

Hey, Johnnyboy, What you got to say
You cooked the books and now you're asking me to pay
Recession and depression are the order of the day
When we're going it your way
Hey, Johnnyboy, What's it all about now
Your own doggies are trying to kick you out now
Just how long can you stay
Well your pockets are filling but fast approaching pay-day

Then you'd better believe
You'd better believe it
You'd better believe in something
You'd better believe in something strong
But you're playing for time
Pretending you're blind
When the end of the line is coming
And we've been waiting far too long, For pay-day

Hey, Johnnyboy, What's the point in faking it
We're getting thinner while the other half are raking it
You do the dirty for your buddies on the make
Who do you think you are kidding
Hey, Johnnyboy, What you gonna do
When the house comes down all around you
You sow the wind it's true
You're gonna reap the whirlwind

Climate Of Fear

Here we go, the latest bulletin
It's the state of the nation time
Dr Paranoias gonna fill you in
He's gonna set the scene of the crime
Here's Dr Doom going out on the air
With all the news that's fit to hear
To perpuate the climate of despair
To nurture the culture of fear

(Creep)
You'd better be scared
You'd better walk on tiptoe

You'd better do your crimewatching from behind the couch
Stay tuned to the real life cop show
'cos if you ever leave your house
Broken-home-breakers gonna steal your video
There's an army of muggers knee deep in gore
Queing up to break your head
There's a serial killer in the house next door
An identikit man hiding under your bed

(Creep)
You'd better be scared
You'd better walk on tiptoe

So don't to forget to check under the stairs
Before you tiptoe off to bed
And while you're lying all lonely and scared
While you shit yourself half to death
Fat Fuckers keep looting, keep shooting
While the cops keep doing what cops do best
A cop got shot with a cop-shop bullet
Now he's scared to go out without a bullet-proof vest

(Creep)
You'd better be scared
You'd better walk on tiptoe

The message flickers on the screen
Tune in, turn on, get with the scene
Turning the wheels of the filth machine
Keep churning out the lies
I pay the piper, call the tune
I call the shots in your front room
Say what you watch - watch what you
