Motorhead - Brave New World lyrics

rate me

So this a new beginning, as the new century dawns

The world's a better place for you and me

Shouldn't smoke or drink or watch that evil filthy porn.

Be Christian and God will set you free.

But being poor is worse than having AIDS,

The homeless live in boxes at our feet

Living in a constant state of dull frustrated rage,

The innocent shot daily in the street

[Chorus]

Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world

[Repeat]

The government has always been you pal as you well know

Absolute corrupted power play,

If we all wipe each other out, it only goes to show

While the bureaucrats get richer by the day,

Smoking dope will get you more than murder one,

And even worse than statutory rape,

Don't understand your children, so you send them all to jail,

Beleive me, you will never make a worse mistake.

[Chorus]

The government is coming and it wants to be your friend,

It wants to show you how to be a snitch

Inform upon your children, the inevitable end,

Is everyone's a victim but the filthy fucking rich,

And religion, like the monster that it is

Keeps telling you to turn the other cheek

God is on your side, but I don't think that you're on his,

If Jesus showed up now he'd be in jail by next week,

[Chorus]
