Napalm Death - No Mental Effort lyrics

rate me

Lyrics : Lee Dorrian / Music : Mick Harris

So we're still in our teething stages.

As far as politics are concerned,

that's fine coming from someone

to whom sensationalism be their only wisdom in words.

A self-proclaimed spokesman

on something to which prior knowledge excedes,

championing no more censorship,

then ridiculing our beliefs.

To appeal to your better nature,

are we to keep our mouths shut ?

Easy to discard,

constructive power at your disposal,

when egos and sales outbalance

opinions on the scale.

Using bands as pawns in your hands,

building up, knocking down, sensationalise

to suit cheap public demand.

Merging with the gutter press

you claim to detest.

It's opened it's lid,

for you to crawl in and infest.
