You Can't Stop the Machine
The girl sat me down with a coffee and she said:
'You can't stop the machine.
Waste all your energy shouting at the crowd,
You can't stop the machine.
Crawl onto the battlefield to steal from the dead,
you can't stop the machine.
You can't stop the machine.
You can't stop the machine.
You can't stop the machine.'
I waited till the girl had a mouthful of toast
The I said: 'I know what you mean
but
I don't want to stop the machine,
I don't want to stop the machine,
I don't want to stop the machine,
I just want to leave.'

Bored of the War
It's a cold dry morning
I got the radio on
The traffic is stuck, the markets are down
here's the next song
Commercial break is over
and the tanks roll in
God help the people we'll forget
as soon as we defeat them...
Bored of the war
Bored of the reasons
Heard it all before 100 times.
We got British bullets
With a layer of uranium
They're so radioactive even the soldiers
Are ashamed of them
They give little children cancer
already half a million died
Each time I hear my country's leader
He is telling lies...
Bored of the war
Bored of the reasons
Heard them all before 100 times
Do what you like
Send more good men to the desert
But remember:
We're not on your side
We're not on your side
We'll never be on your side
You left us behind
With your pantomime
We need a rabble rouser
We need regime change here today
Watch the people die
Watch the politicians walk away...
Bored of the war
Bored of the reasons
Heard it all before 100 times
Do what you like
Send more good men to the desert
But remember:
We're not on your side.
We're not on your side.

Eminem is Gay
Gentlemen, we have a problem
There's a journalist down in the hall
She got a photo of Slim out on the town last night
And it could ruin us all
She caught Shady being a lady
With a couple of Canadian ballet dancers
The magazines will be looking for answers
Banging down our door...
If he won't come quietly we'll have to force it
Pull that skinny mother out of the closet
Eminem is gay (Eminem is gay)
He gives it out like a kid in a sweetshop.
Lipstick all over his chainsaw
Dancing around in dungarees
And did you see where Dr Dre put his hands
When he stood behind him on kids TV?
Wake up the marketing department
We'll make a load of money out of this now
No such thing as a sacred cow:
Gentlemen leave it to me.
Prime time live to the masses enough,
Will the queer Slim Shady please stand up?
Eminem is gay (Eminem is gay)
Eminem is playing for the other team
Eminem is gay (really really gay)
He likes it best down in between
(rap)
D12 go round the outside:
said it was a lookalike working for the FBI
(dumb as it is) I got your true sexuality
bound and gagged in the boot of my pickup
and I'm driving it off a bridge...
Eminem is gay (Eminem is gay)
Eminem is playing for the other team
Eminem is gay (really really gay)
He likes it best down in between
Eminem is gay (Eminem is gay)
Eminem is playing for the other side
Eminem is gay (really really gay)
Come on Slim, let the fans decide!

The Decksweep
the rain has finally stopped
but the land is still wet
and we're all feeling sick now
we aren't used to the solid ground yet
I cleaned the shit off the deck of the ark
for nearly a year
I don't know what I'm gonna do now
that we've ended up here
Noah, what can I do?
everyone's happy but I'm a fool
Noah, don't you remember me?
I kept the boat clean for you
it was a horrible job
but I was so scared that I'd get left behind
I wish I'd seen this coming now
but hope left me blind
and when the third dove comes with its olive branch
it craps on my head
when we sight land everyone cheers and cheers
but I cry instead
Noah, what can I do?
everyone's happy but I'm a fool
Noah, have you forgotten me?
because I kept your boat clean for you
this is my first and last cry for help
even a decksweep has his pride
would you care if I slit my throat in your promised land?
hey Noah, would you know if I died?
so Noah, this note's for you
I may be redundant but I am still true
and Noah you have forgotten me
but I kept the goddamn boat clean for you

100000 Turkeys
It's the middle of December, England's getting fat
No-one's putting pennies in the old man's hat
Children can't wait for their new computer games
And Christians bang on about Jesus again
Heard it on the radio at half-past one
A hundred-thousand turkeys and they've all got guns
The revolution started on the M25
And we'll be lucky if we get out alive
It must've been something in the water
Maybe it was something in their feed
Probably a little bit of chopped-up cow
That made 'em so mad they had to break free
Rise up turkeys, we're gonna build an army
Kill a lot of people and take our revenge
Humans everywhere, murdering our families
Rise up turkeys, take our revenge
Panic in the city, phone up Tony Blair
But it's too late, they've stolen all the military hardware
Ten-thousand butchers mercilessly slain
Poor old England will never be the same
The army's on the streets, there's a riot through the night
And all the ugly businessmen die without a fight
By two in the morning they control the BBC
A hundred-thousand turkeys are running the country
Rise up turkeys, we're gonna build an army
Kill a lot of people and take our revenge
Humans everywhere, murdering our families
Rise up turkeys, take our revenge
By the time they'd subdued London they were half a million strong
They pecked all the soldiers eyes out and sang old army songs
And Bernard Matthews' strung up corpse was burning through 'til dawn
And as we crawled out from our hiding places in the morning
Every single one of them was gone...
Rise up turkeys, we're gonna build an army
Kill a lot of people and take our revenge
Humans everywhere, murdering our families
Rise up turkeys, take our revenge
