Smash It Up (And Start Again)

from This Band Is Sick by Steve White & The Protest Family

lyrics

Smash it up and start again

Is drinking diet coke any better than the real thing?
Does it come with fewer murders, less sharp practice, less kidnapping?
And if pornography is to sex what McDonalds is to food
You'll understand that talk of Olympic sponsors doesn't put me
In a very good mood.

Smash it up and start again

The press are all the same, they say capital is the only game in town
So stop listening to Today, put your Daily Mail away and put that red top down
Try watching Reel News or reading Indymedia
Because there is an alternative, we just need
People to hear

Smash it up and start again

Try confiscating every fortune over 10 million pounds
We could pay off all the debt, cure world hunger, if we shared it all around
It's what Bono wanted to do
But he didn't have a clue
That actually we'd use pretty much all
Of his money too

Smash it up and start again

The banks crashed, the economy mashed, but that was several years ago
You predicted I recall, capitalism would fall, but we kept the status quo
We should invest in the people
Not in their bosses
And make it illegal
To profit from their losses
So smash it up and start again
The benefit of hand and brain
Belongs to us all

Smash it up and start again
