TINA IS AN ANARCHIST LYRICS CHORUS Tina is Anarchist (x3) Emancipation for the nation, Raising up a fist. VERSE She likes to help the homeless and She likes to help the poor, She likes to help the dreamers who still Crave for something more. The root of evil's money, so her Pocket's filled with change. She wants a revolution, Not another "living wage". We’re played against each other, All the world’s a stage. We’re played against each other, All the world’s a slave. Slavery’s a choice, but it sure ain’t yours. They’re buying our lives and We’re doing their chores! CHORUS (x2) Tina is Anarchist (x3) Emancipation for the nation, Raising up a fist. BRIDGE (monologue text by Noam Chomsky) "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate." (Chomsky, 2013) VERSE She likes to help the homeless and She likes to help the poor, She likes to help the dreamers who still Crave for something more. The root of evil's money, so her Pocket's filled with change. She wants a revolution, Not another "living wage". We’re played against each other, All the world’s a stage. We’re played against each other, All the world’s a slave. Slavery’s a choice, but it sure ain’t yours. They’re buying our lives and We’re doing their chores! CHORUS (x2) Tina is Anarchist (x3) Emancipation for the nation, Raising up a fist. CODA And now Anarchy is here (x4) So Let’s fuck… Shit up! Chomsky, N. (2013). “How the World Works”, p.234.

JOHNNY AIN'T A TRAGEDY LYRICS VERSE 1 Well, Johnny here is a teenage man With his future already lost. He’s sick of the lies, and he’s sick of school, He’s gotta get out, no matter the cost. “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind”? Well, that’s fine, his world is gone. He beats his dog like his Dad beats Mum, He’s a problem kid looking for fun. A problem kid looking for fun... CHORUS Well, Johnny Ain't A Tragedy Johnny Ain't A Tragedy (Johnny, Johnny) Johnny Ain't A Tragedy (Johnny, Johnny) Johnny Ain't A Tragedy VERSE 2 “Haven’t you heard, there’s a new kid town?” The news keeps spreading around. The memories of the crimes he made, Are the things that keep him insane. “An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind”? Well, that’s fine, his world is gone. He beats his dog like his Dad beats Mum, He’s a problem kid looking for fun. CHORUS Well, Johnny Ain't A Tragedy Johnny Ain't A Tragedy (Johnny, Johnny) Johnny Ain't A Tragedy (Johnny, Johnny) Johnny Ain't A Tragedy CODA (Johnny, Johnny) Johnny Ain't A Tragredy (Johnny, Johnny) Johnny Ain't A Tragedy Na na na, na na na na na naaaa, Na na na Na... NA NA NA NA!! (This one's for you, Johnny!)

MAY DAY LYRICS Verse 1 May Day’s on her way Landlords’ holiday. Boom, bust all the time Bankers snort their lines. Verse 2 Landlords make a living By taking what you’ve earnt Working to survive, In a system that you’ve learnt. Verse 3 Bankers make a living By taking what you’ve earnt Working to survive, In a system that you’ve learnt. Coda May Day! Bombs away! Plenty for the banks But there’s none for me! May Day! Bombs away! Plenty for the war But there’s none for me! May Day! Bombs away! Plenty for the boss But there’s none for me! May Day! Bombs away! Plenty for ya mates But there’s none for me!

EMO MY LIFE AWAY LYRICS VERSE 1 Drive me to the prom, but take me in a hearse. A Mayday Parade of steampunk nerds. You’re a broken soul that’s waiting to be fixed, I’m a ticking bomb that’s waiting to be kissed. CHORUS Spray my hair so I Cannot see (Emo my life away) Fuck my teachers 'cause They hate me (Emo my life away) Kiss my scars and I'll Suck your dick (Emo my life away) Smoking weed 'cause my Dad hates it (Emo my life away) VERSE 2 Beautify those bloody wrists, Masturbate over boys that don't exist. Kawaii motherfucker's what I need to Anime my life and use my neck to feed. CHORUS Spray my hair so I Cannot see (Emo my life away) Fuck my teachers 'cause They hate me (Emo my life away) Kiss my scars and I'll Suck your dick (Emo my life away) Smoking weed 'cause my Dad hates it (Emo my life away) BRIDGE No-one understands me. No-one understands me. No-one understands me. Victim of mentality Profit from my sadness Profit from my madness Profit from my sadness Exploit insecurities. CHORUS Spray my hair so I Cannot see (Emo my life away) Fuck my teachers 'cause They hate me (Emo my life away) Kiss my scars and I'll Suck your dick (Emo my life away) Smoking weed 'cause my Dad hates it (Emo my life away) CODA Emo my life away!
