Chaos UK

Chaos UK are an English hardcore punk band formed in 1979 in Portishead, near Bristol. They played fast aggressive hardcore punk rock initially. The original line up of Simon on vocals, Andy on guitar, Chaos (aka "Lice") on bass and Potts on drums recorded two EP's and a full LP for Riot City Record. In the process they along with fellow Bristolians Disorder and Stoke's Discharge revolutionised the HC punk scene. In particular the Japanese 80's HC punk bands were heavily influenced by Chaos UK and Disorder's brutal take on punk. Chaos UK's debut LP was notable in the fact that the band's label claimed it was the "fastest, noisiest LP in the cosmos" in the short lived "Punk Lives" magazine; vocal duties on this recording were also handled by bassist Chaos. more »

You make sure you never lose 
You only want to win 
You use your head to find new 
Ways to make people give in 
Taking what they have 
Becoming a good friend 
But now that they have seen the light 
You'll come to your end 
Never giving nothing, Always giving a lie 
Never giving nothing, People sussed your sly 
You always take without giving 
You've never heard of honesty 
Times are hard for everyone else 
But you can't bloody see 
People queuing at your door 
Begging for some food 
You just slam the door on them 
And tell them to get screwed

Spending money you have saved 
Working all your life 
Give it to the people 
Who control boring life 
Living without living 
Fashion you must change 
To be in with the in-crowd 
Who live their life the same 
Fashion you must change 
To keep up with the trend 
The money you are saving 
Is coming to an end 
People, they will follow 
The changing of the trend 
The fashion they have chosen 
Will create a financial friend 
Six months, they have passed 
Another fashion comes 
Work some boring overtime 
To help the financial friend

You'll never have the authority 
To be in charge of me 
So don't give me your orders 
Or your boring commentary 
Just because you think 
You're of a so called better breed 
You seem to think that you're so special 
But you don't fucking own me 
Use me to make money 
In your shitty factories 
And I'll have to live and suffer 
On a pathetic salary

Don't you look outside your window 
It's cold outside 
It's cold outside 
People stare and you don't know 
It's cold outside 
It's cold outside 
You watch people come as they go 
It's cold outside 
It's cold outside 
Tally on and nowhere to go 
It's cold outside 
It's cold outside 
The end is nigh or so they reckon 
It's cold outside 
It's cold outside 
What's that flash on the horizon? 
I don't know 
I don't know

They're only going through a phase 
Kids are all the same 
They don't know their own right minds 
It's only a silly game 
They don't know what their talking about 
They just talk a load of shit 
If we just ignore them 
They'll forget about it 
Parental love is just a farce 
Don't be taken for a ride 
We know you're only young 
But feel free to speak your mind 
Do not work and do not pray 
Ignore the bores at school 
Live your life your own way 
Don't be nobody's fool 
Counteract the system 
Youngsters are the best 
Counteract the system 
Become a real pest

Politicians one after one 
Creating havoc and having fun 
Pulling our lives to bits and pieces 
Sucking and crawling like common leeches 
Vote for me, I'm SDP 
No vote labor, no vote Tory 
You don't know which one to choose 
It doesn't matter, you'll always lose 
You're just a load of pointless bastards; 
You haven't got a brain 
You're just a load of pointless bastards; 
You're driving me insane 
What makes people vote 'em in 
I can't see the reason 
There's no justice in the lot of 'em 
They're all just legalized treason 
Police harassment on our streets 
Nuclear war at our feet 
Unemployment up again 
It's just for their financial gain

Don't want to be your fucking hero 
Don't want to be your fucking star 
They use your money and exploit your name 
Using people is the name of the game 
They say wear bondage and a messy suit 
You're just another dumb recruit 
Don't know what we're gonna do 
We just can't get through to you 
They take your money; You work so hard 
But you'll just get an unemployment card 
In the day, you're just a lad 
You're a poser, it ain't so bad 
I ain't a poser or a fucking star 
I don't drive a flash fucking car 
Chaos in society, you're to blame 
In years to come, it'll be the same

The glueheads walk with spaced out heads 
Their eyes are open wide 
The zombie walk that they have learnt 
Has now got to their minds 
They save to buy a pot of glue 
They know it rots their souls 
But now they find this very filling 
And decide to sniff it all 
The glueheads walk with spaced out minds 
Their heads shrink and grow 
Addiction overweighs the choice; corrosion of the brain 
A twentieth century label reading mentally insane 
His head, it starts to shrink and grow 
His brains are all confused 
His body seems to float away 
Although, it is diseased 
Addiction overweighs the choice; corrosion of the brain 
A twentieth century label reading mentally insane
