Blaggers ITA - Oxygen

open up the history books, let's go back in time
turn another page, read another lie
we've been fit up and shut up by what's been said
I wanna put a bullet in society's head
I've all the hate of a slave ship inside
asking questions it's a hobby of mine
I feel like the real prophet of rage
but it's hard to kick off from a psycological cage

time's up, time's up, time's up, time , time
time's up, time's up, time , time
Time's up

there's a piper in hamlyn and a piper in rio
and he's taking all the kids but now it's for real
he's still outta tune and he's still outta time
he's the devil's disciple leading the blind
what can justify this social crisis
what can justify this urban decay
I'm calling collect to a corpse called britain
when I look around I know something's missing

time's up, time's up, time's up, time , time
time's up, time's up, time , time
Time's up

Oxygen, Oxygen, Oxygen, Oxygen

Alright!

time's up, time's up, time's up, time , time
time's up, time's up, time , time
Time's up

I wanna talk about those who died
I wanna talk about those burried alive
inmates of a system we are all deprived
by state machinery digging our graves
and I clearly understand that I my not live
but it's gone to far now to forgive
we've got dumb dumbs in power and dumb dumbs trained on us
but the real dumb dumbs just don't make a fuss

oxygen

those who don't defend themselves die
those who don't die are burried alive
in the prisons, in the reform schools
in the slums of workingclass districts
in the stone coffins in the new housing developments
in the crowded kindergardens & schools
in the brand new kitchens and bedrooms
filled with fancy furniture bought on credit

My life's on credit

Powerful song; love this band. I'm guessing the guitar riff from 3:41 originates from "Shot By Both Sides" by Magazine?

[Redskins001]

@fishyfingersparty Either Magazine's 'Shot By Both Sides' or 'Lipstick' by The Buzzcocks. Not sure which of those songs came first.

And here we have the reason why the Blaggers are awesome. Because Live4Britain and his mates are still crying about them. Hey L4B, were you at Waterloo? Did you wet yourself and run away, with the rest of the 'master race'?

Ahh the late 80's/early 90's, kicking fascists all over the streets, listening to the Blaggers and rioting every other weekend in london (well it seemed like it at the time anyway!). Sad to see those days gone.

One upon a time people wrote songs that actually meant something. Once upon a time people actually stood for something.

Well done to the Blaggers. RIP Matty.

[TheDognamedblue]

er I think that was the point

as a side note: he was a political activist in the anti-nazi sphere

he would go out to demonstrations & at his concerts to physically assault nazis where ever he found them

if you go & find the lyrics to this song you will see its a protest song about the very situations that are in the video

[rayyyyyy1]

Matt Vinyl is a living legend in his red yfronts. Cliche Lives!

[Carquistan9]

[The100thAttempt]

What's the point of this man posing in his Raybans in the front of some actually poor people?

Let them make the songs and get the profits...

[socialistskinhead]
