A more abstract and minimalist song lyrically, this song is essentially a political rallying cry meant to point out how broken the world is – dull office spaces, lying politicians, mass incarceration, corrupt government officials and police officers, and a broken justice system.
[Verse 1]
Gun metal skies, broken lives
Claustrophobic concrete, English high-rise
Exterminate the underclass, exterminate the telepaths
[Refrain]
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
[Verse 2]
Incubating ultraviolence, psychic distortion
Slow death injectable, narcosis terminal
Damaged receptors, fractured speech
[Refrain]
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Control virus, hallucinatory programme
Septicaemic interzone, psychic distortion
Satellite sickness, TV junk
[Refrain]
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
What's up?
What's up?
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Insecticide shots for criminal cops
All jails are concentration camps, all judges are bought
Everyone's a prostitute, everyone's a prostitute
[Refrain]
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
So look out, kid, they keep it all hid
You think you're free, but you ain't free, just free to be hit
You're an unchannelled frequency, nobody's listening
You're imbalanced permanent, nobody's listening
[Refrain]
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
No civil disobedience
[Instrumental Outro]
