about

Opinions and values are always judged in relation to the prevailing attitudes which society sees as normal. When you look around at the way the world is run, and the things which are therefore seen as normal behaviour, what do you see? Inequality and injustice - all held together by threats of violence and war.
How logical are many of the laws that we operate under, when the very basis of much of our society is built on such immoral foundations? We have people sitting in jails for crimes which seem mild in comparison to many of the callous acts perpetuated by those at the top.

lyrics

Inside a padded cell is a man who doesn’t fit. He tried looking at the world and he couldn’t understand it. He struck out at authority because he couldn’t take any more. Meanwhile people are starving, and food is rotting behind locked doors. “Insanity” is relative to what’s perceived as the norm. If our “leaders” are the lunatics, how do we convince them they’re wrong? Power lies in the hands of industrialists and politicians. The system’s run on the basis of theft and corruption. Yet the prisons are full of people doing time for protesting against injustice or for non-payment of fines. “Crime” is relative to what’s perceived as the norm. If our “leaders” are the criminals, how do we convince them they’re wrong? If you hear “fuck” on the TV, or see nudity on the screen, then the conservative establishment will complain that it’s obscene. Meanwhile, the TV news sanitises the horrors of war. They award knighthoods for the butchery, and the public sit eager for more. “Obscenity” is relative to what’s perceived as the norm. If our “leaders” are obscene, how do we convince them they’re wrong? They’ve got away with murder right from the start, so now it’s time to confront them and tear their society apart.
