Zounds

Zounds are an English anarchist band formed in 1977 from loose jamming sessions around the Reading area. Originally they were part of the cassette culture movement, releasing material on the Fuck Off Records label, and were also involved in the squatting and free festival scene. The name of the band is derived from the old English minced oath coined by William Shakespeare: "zounds", which is a contraction of "God's wounds", referring to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ, formerly used as a mildly blasphemous oath. more »

War - War - War - War

There's war in Afghanistan
And war in Northern Ireland
And war in South America
And war in Africa

And war - Violence
War - Oppression

There's violence in London
And violence in Bristol
And violence in New York
And violence in Moscow

And war - Violence
War - Oppression

There's war in Heaven
Unrest on Earth
And war in my head
And war in my house

And war - War - War - War

If you gotta job
You can be an agent
You can work for revolution
In your place of employment

If you gotta job you can be an agent
You can work for revolution in your place of employment
If you work in a factory throw a spanner in the works
Internal sabotage, hit them where it hurts

Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert

If you gotta job
Where they treat you like a slave
Where they treat you like a zombie
In their corporate grave

If you work in a office making tea for the bosses
While they are getting richer on ten time your pay
They may think you're stupid but you're working undercover
You've got the potential to disobey

Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert

If you've got a job
Cause there's nothing else to do
Where they think they've got you trapped in
The boxes that they choose

If you've got a job you can be an agent
If you work in a kitchen you can redistribute food
If you are a policeman ordered to arrest me
You don't have to do it, you can refuse

Subvert - Subvert - Subvert - Subvert

If you gotta job
You can be an agent
You can work for revolution
In your place of employment

If you gotta job you can be an agent
You can work for revolution in your place of employment
If you work in a factory throw a spanner in the works
Internal sabotage, hit them where it hurts
