    Dictator  | 
  
Yes i am the dictator the more guns i got the better
    Yes i am the liquidator i carry the old beretta
    You know there once was freedom
    You know how dangerous that can be
    The people used to dance & sing
    & they used to run wild in the streets
    But now i am the voice
    Howling from your radio
    From my armour plated cadillac
    You'll hear what i say goes
Yes i am the dictator i satisfy the u.s. team
    I always do my killing in the woods & keep the city gutters clean
    Cos i need a few more dollars
    For my fighter pilot to be free
    To dive bomb on the population
    If they go running wild in the streets
    Yes i am that voice...etc
Yes i am the crusador i spent twenty years in exile
    But now i am the invader & i'm never never gonna die
    Yes i am the dictator my name is on your ballot sheet
    But until my box has your cross you know the form is incomplete
    And you know........etc

High above the satellites

Are you ready for
    War, all in all this sentimental
    War, wall to wall with the regimental
    War, with all the things continental
    Are you red
War
    War
    War
Theres no use runnin a mobile home
    Everywhere is a target zone
    Hell is ringing on the red, red phone
Are you ready for
War, all that is futuristic

    War, all that will be ballistic
    Are you red
War

Rebels on the corner
    Rebels to the core
    Got a million dollar question
    What is livin' for?
Hey! man can scratch a livin'
    In a fat man's city class
    The teacher is survival
    But soon the present will be the past
So!
    Be cool under heat
    Be cool under heat
    Be cool on the street
    Be cool under heat
When you're rockin' down
    On a cold hard night
    Pitiless eyes of the cityless souls
    Narrow in the lights
Sorrow upon sorrow
    Go ganging up in your head
    You can leave it till tomorrow
    If you can balance on the edge
Hey!
    Be cool under heat
    Be cool under heat
    Be cool on the street
    Be cool under heat
When the baby and you got to fight
    Go cool your love in the rain
    When the match refuses to strike
    Show that you really are in pain
I'm giving you a warning
    Gonna burn those blue suede shoes
    Swagger in the mornin'
    Prints up front page news
Be cool under heat
    Be cool under heat
    Be cool on the street
    Be cool under heat 
The boy stood in the burning slum
    Better times had to come
    Fate lay in the hands that clap
    The muscles that move & the power that raps
    He went up on money street
    Waving an poping to the beat
    Off his wits an on his feet
    He worked a coin from the cold concrete
Movers & shakers come on you got what it takes to make it
    Movers an shakers come on even if you have to fake it
Where the highway meets the lights
    With a red bandanna & rapid wipes
    He shines glass and he cleans chrome
    He'll accept what he gets thrown
    This man earns cos its understood
    Times are bad and he's makin good
    Down on him but he's got it beat
    He's working coin from the cold concrete
Movers & shakers come on....etc
    And when i see you down & i say
    That aint no way through that aint no way through
    Movers & shakers come on....etc
Way back in some city heat
    When a friend was anybody with food to eat
    It was lousy life with a leaking roof
    We got up to find that truth
    Make a drum from a garbage can
    Allow your tongue to be a man
    When the beat propels you off your seat
    You got it made in the cold concrete
Movers & shakers come on!
I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
    Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
    On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
    A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm
This is England
    This knife of Sheffield steel
    This is England
    This is how we feel
Time on his hands freezing in those clothes
    He won't go for the carrot
    They beat him by the pole
    Some sunny day confronted by his soul
    He's out at sea, too far off, he can't go home
This is England
    What we're supposed to die for
    This is England
    And we're never gonna cry no more
Black shadow of the Vincent
    Falls on a Triumph line
    I got my motorcycle jacket
    But I'm walking all the time
    South Atlantic wind blows
    Ice from a dying creed
    I see no glory
    When will we be free
This is England
    We can chain you to the rail
    This is England
    We can kill you in a jail
The British boots go kick them
    Got 'em in the head
    Police ain't watching'
    The newspapers been read
    Who cares to protest?
    A (???) in the eye like a flare
    Out came the batons and
    The British warned themselves
This is England
    The land of (il) legal dances
    This is England
    Land of a thousand stances
    This is England
    This knife of Sheffield steel
    This is England
    This is how we feel
    This is England
    This is England 
Patriots of the wasteland torching two
    Hundred years
    Dragging my spirit back into the dungeon again
    Bring back crucification cry the moral death's head legion
    Using steel nails manufactured by the slaves in asia
You wont fall for that law and order is a baton in the rib
    You wont fall for that just like your mummy & your daddy did
Blood inside a fountain pen wrote you out of life again
    & who knows any better than to kick and scratch under english weather
    >from a chain gang to the mill. the mill that sits on top of the hill
    The fog drowned towns arr gonna have to fade
    The wrong side of the a scissor blade
You wont fall for that law and order is a baton in the rib
    You wont fall for that just like your mummy & your daddy did
    I'll eat my hat i'm gonna be sick
    They own the pack while we play the three card trick

And so we say
    We ain't got life
    Don't want a cardboard cut-out
    Don't want a plastic knife
Now i know, time can march
    With it's chargin' feet
    Now i know, words are only cheap
    It's gonna be a burn out
    All around this town
    The south is up
    But the north is down
There's gonna be a killin'
    Of a woman and a man
    Trying to feed that child
    Without a coin in their hand
And so we say
    Have you no use
    For eight million hands
    And the power of youth
Now i know, time can march
    With it's chargin' feet
    Now i know, words are only cheap
    It's gonna be a burn out
    All around this town
    The south is up
    But the north is down
There's gonna be a killin'
    Of a woman and a man
    Trying to feed that child
    Without a coin in their hand
It's gonna be a burn out!
And so we say
    We ain't diggin' no graves
    We're diggin' a foundation
    For a future to be made
Now i know, time can march
    With it's chargin' feet
    Now i know, words are only cheap
    It's gonna be a burn out
    All around this town
    The south is up
    But the north is down
There's gonna be a killin'
    Of a woman and a man
    Trying to feed that child
    Without a coin in their hand
It's gonna be a burn out!
