lyrics

Suspect Device [Runcorn Tapes demo]
(Burns/Ogilvie)

Inflammable material, planted in my head

It's a suspect device that's left two thousand dead


Their solutions are our problems

They put up the wall

On each side, time and prime us

Make sure we get fuck all


They play their games of power

They mark and cut the pack

They deal us to the bottom

But what do they put back?


Well, don't believe them

Don't believe them

Don't be bitten twice

You’re a suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss

Suss, suspect device


They take away our freedom

In the name of ‘liberty’

Why can't they all just clear off

Why can't they let us be?


They make us feel indebted

For saving us from hell

And then they put us through it

It's time the bastards fell


Well, don't believe them

Don't believe them

Don't be bitten twice

You’re a suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss

Suss, suspect device


Well, don't believe them

Don't believe them

Question everything you're told!


Just take a look around you

At the bitterness and spite

Why can't we take over and try to get things right?


But don't believe us

Don't believe us

Don't be bitten thrice

You’re a suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss

Suss, suspect device


You’re a suspect device if you do as you are told

You’re a suspect device, you can score your own goal

A suspect device that the army can't defuse

You're a suspect device and you know you’ll never lose


We're gonna blow up in their face!
