Culturecide lyrics
by Primal Scream
[Verse 1]
Train leaves the city, high on the tracks
Holocaust central howlin' at my back
View from the carriage, safe behind glass
Wounded streets, graveyard flats
Dishrag curtains scream of disease
Satellite dish where the window should be
Breezeblock prison, somebody's home
Looks like it's been hit by a neutron bomb
(By a neutron bomb, by a neutron bomb)
(By a neutron bomb, by a neutron bomb)
[Verse 2]
Jackie is a mother doin' her best
The kids ain't got a father, the motherf*cker left
Bottom of the pyramid, economic slave
Workin' two jobs for a minimum wage
Payin' her taxes, payin' her rent
Can't clothe the kids 'cause the money's been spent
The kids are in care, system of abuse
What d'ya feel about yourself when nobody wants you?
[Chorus]
Culturecide (Culturecide, culturecide)
Culturecide (Culturecide, culturecide)
[Verse 3]
When your baby is cryin' 'cause its hungry and cold
And your wife wants to leave you 'cause you haven't got a job
Will you sh*t on your brother, stab him in the back?
You gotta survive man by doin' what you can
It's the new dark ages, every man for himself
Don't ask for mercy, don't ask for help
You need a will to power, a triumph of the will
Like the politicians, black magicians who do what they wilt
Elected criminals, legalised crime
Passin' new laws, protectin' their kind (Oh)
[Chorus]
Culturecide (Culturecide, culturecide)
Culturecide (Culturecide, culturecide)
(Don't buy the lie)
Culturecide (Culturecide, culturecide)
(Don't buy the lie)
Culturecide (Culturecide, culturecide)
(Don't buy the lie)
Na-na
[Verse 4]
Teenage drug gangs, runnin' with machine guns
Miles of favelas up and down the M1
Law of the jungle, ghetto mentality
Like Margaret Thatcher said, "There's no thing as society" (Don't buy the lie)
Free market credo, economic theology
High priest bankers stealin' your money (Don't buy the lie)
Livin' like a refugee (In your own country)
Livin' like a refugee (In your own country)
(Culturecide)
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Take a look in your children's eyes)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Take a look in your children's eyes)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Take a look in your children's eyes)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Take a look in your children's eyes)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Just take a look into your children's eyes)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Just take a look into your children's eyes)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Culturecide)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Culturecide)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country (Culturecide, culturecide)
Livin' like a refugee in your own country
