g.b.h - new decade lyrics

from the slums to the suburbs there's a rallying cry,
people are kicking authority, blacking its eye.
it's sure time to party when your freedom comes,
flowers poking out of the barrels of guns.

like a punch-drunk fighter, i see your power fade,
talking your place in this mad, mad, mad parade.

you pulled the pin from the last hand-grenade,
.. .. it's the start of a new decade.

you'll get your liberation from the soldiers and the cops,
the new wall is built and that is where the buck stops.
the underground has risen, select a chosen few.
so throw out the old, bring in the new.

you've over-run the ignorant, the bigots and the fools,
burnin' in the decadence .. the new mob rule
