Subhumans- When The Bomb Drops

Rats tracklist: http://www.punkvinyl.net/blog/Subhumans-Rats-ep-1984/back.jpg

LYRICS: When the bomb drops I'll be a bank holiday
everybody happy in their tents and caravans
everybody happy in their ignorance and apathy
nobody realizes until
their television breaks down
the voices of the people are going unheard
but
they got nothing to say cause they're deaf and dumb
too concerned with money
luxury adultery
complacency and politics and apathy will never mix
when the
bomb drops they'll be a 4 minute warning
three minutes of anarchy and one of
blind futility
no-one left alive and no chances to survive
you've heard it all
before-but I'm telling you once more
to forget is to forgive but there's nothing to forget
I ain't forgotten how to live and it hasn't happened [yet]
they'll drop the bomb for something to do can't remember what it's for
but Iain't forgot Hiroshima
i ain't forgot the war

Proof to the oldies back in the 70s and 80s that Punk wasn't " noise ". Yours sincerely a Captain Sensible and Damned fan.

I got bored with watching Misfits videos so I decided to listen to something worthwhile and came here. Subhumans are the real fucking deal.
