Crass - I Aint thick it's just a trick

Crass - I aint thick it's just a trick
Good peace punk!

The lyrics here:

Oh yeah? Well I've got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they've got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain't got me, they can't buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I've got it all up here?

Tried to get me with a T.V. show,
But I wouldn't have none of it, no, no, no.
Standards and values on a black and white screen,
Sarah Farah Fawcett acting mean.
She's got the lot, that's what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link.
She's just a fucking puppet in their indoctrination plan,
"Be like me girls and become a real man,"
Live to the full, always act flash,
Don't use your brains when your body makes the splash.

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well I've got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they've got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain't got me, they can't buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I've got it all up here?

Tried to get me in the supermarket store,
Bought what I wanted, they they said "buy more."
Mountains of crap that nobody really needs,
Gaily coloured wrappers to suit assorted greeds.
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link.
Buy this product, pay for the crap,
Quarter for the product, three quarters for the wrap.
Be a happy family, like the people on the pack,
Pay up to the profit, and you'll never look back.

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well I've got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they've got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain't got me, they can't buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I've got it all up here?

Tried to get me with their learning and their books,
Deep understanding and intelligent looks,
All of the time, they never saw me,
They were just looking for what they wanted to see.
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link.
Books are easy backs for what they want to do to you,
Bind you up in slavery for the privileged few,
They'll prove their lies with history, say "that's the way it always was,
Accept the shit and slavery, be one of us."

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well I've got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they've got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain't got me, they can't buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I've got it all up here?

Tried to get me with religion and with christ,
Said I'd get to heaven if I acted real nice,
But they were just preparing a crucifix for me,
A life of guilt, of sin, of pain, of holy misery.
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link.
The bible's just a blue print for their morality scene,
Just another load of shit on how it's never been.
They stand there in the pulpit, doling out their lies,
Offering forgiveness, then they talk of eyes for eyes.

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well I've got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they've got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain't got me, they can't buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I've got it all up here?

Tried to get me, but I won't be got,
Say I'm a misfit but I say I'm not,
I never set out to profit from another,
Those smarmy bastards would steal from their mother.
They've got the lot, that's what they want you to think,
Read between the lines, you'll see the missing link.
They plundered and slaughtered in the name of truth,
Acceptance of normality is what they want from you as proof,
They think they've got the answers, but there's something that they miss,
Their cup which overfloweth, is JUST FULL UP OF PISS.

Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Well I've got it all up here, see?
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? When they think they've got it all out there, see?
They can fuck off, cos they ain't got me, they can't buy my dignity,
Oh yeah? Oh yeah? Let me tell you, I've got it all up here, see?

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR VI VIL HAVE MERE

Mr Knopfler - The Exploited? Sorry, dude, I just cannot take a punk band that is fronted by a public schoolboy called Tarquin seriously. Crass were a class above - no false rhetoric, they just lived it and called it as they saw it. One ex-Crass member is now an IT technician at Goldsmith's College London (posh arty college if you don't know it). Bit sad really. Only failing Crass had was a lack of humour, brilliant band otherwise.

[DelStrainComedy]

Every parent should let their kids listen to Crass thats all you need to know for life.Ive been doing what i want when i want since 1978 when i wrote to them and they wrote back. (A) Im 44 still same. Class War Fight War Not Wars.

[MrKurtKnopfler]

@nbaboygame HEHEHE I did the same m8, and upset my whole street at 2.30am...ah well fuk the neighbours Im still a Punk at 43!!!!!

[MrKurtKnopfler]

Crass.....Influential?????? Bollox, us Brits well John Lydon and Malcolm Mclaren did in a seedy little shop in Soho, London....some say The New York Dolls were the 1st punks, thats just USA Bollox, in fact The Ramones are considered the 1st, Crass were considered by us English Punks as borderline shite, Except this song, bit like the Exploited, but The Sex Pistols in 1977 were the most influential punk group...FACT, nice post mon ami Ive been lookin for this for years....cheers pal for posting

[MrKurtKnopfler]

Crass weren't the most influential band from Europe, ok some people think the New York Dolls were the 1st punks,!!.American bollox, the Sex Pistols were the most iNFLUENTIAL AND the 1st punk band was created by Malcolm Mclaren "John who used to come to my shop came up with the Idea of getting any fuker who cud play a fukin guitar or fukin drums shud get a band together".,.... so John Lydon, Facts my friend, Crass were considered borderline shite like the Exploited by us English

[nbaboygame]

i was singing this when i was drunk on the street and everybody was looking at me like "What the fuck does he want ? " =))

[natritious1]

one of my favorite songs most definitely

[WMUnited]

Fucking hell, great song.

Oh yeah?!

[Nagsworth]

I love this song because it's such a typical in your face punk track. Is that Crass praodying the punk masses they despised, further promoting the message of it just being "a trick"...? Either way, SOTC is a fucking glorious album and this is a brilliant closing track. They were just eagles sniping at everything in sight, there was no escape from their vengeful gaze. Fucking brilliant.

id sign with crass if i had a band
