You Pay (Stations of the Crass Version)

You're paying for prisons, you're paying for war
You're paying for lobotomies, you're paying for law
You're paying for their order, you're paying for their murder
Paying for your ticket to watch the farce

Knowing you've made your contribution
To the system's fucked solution
To their political pollution
No chance of revolution
No chance of change
You've got no range

Don't just take it, don't take their shit
Don't play their game, don't take their blame
Use your own head
Your turn instead

It's not "apologise," it's not "economise"
It's not "make do," it's not "pull through"
It's not "take it," it's not "make it"
It's not just you, it's not madmen
It's not difficult, it's not "behave"
It's not, "oh, well, just this once"
It's fucking impossible
It's fucking unbearable
It's fucking stupid
Fucking stupid
