lyrics

There's a woman on the television day and night, foaming at the mouth, a housewife hero,fresh and white.
But is she happy with her wash,now free of all suspicious stains?No, she's happy cause she's getting cash for washing all our brains, that soak up all the shit they can see and all the lies they can't , and wonder why they want to cry when all the money's spent. On modern cons and sterile dreams, and germ free kids,the bright white lies, of a consumption choked society with gleaming teeth ,and screaming eyes.

Chorus:

Cover up the cracks and now put on a brave new face,
so you can sell your soul and join the new improved in-human race.
In making cash from trash, the new machine is running very well,
because the bright ,white,shiny system ,has wasted lives to sell....

The goods held up for imitation,rammed down eager throats
Clean living,pretty plastic dolls, with brilliant glossy coats.
That cover all the dirt and filth,and truth, the TV pushes.
Say deodorize, and scrub and wipe unpleasantness away.
And with a pill for every ill, improper thoughts are kept in line,
Bow down,pay up,and then you too,can have a corpse like mine.
Conforming to the bright white standard, straight and narrow till you die,
It's wasted lives they're selling, AND WE'RE QUEUING UP TO BUY!

I got into the Subhumans via a cassette tape that was available via the excellent New Crimes Fanzine back in 1981. These songs remind me of that excellent and then new grassroots anarchist punk period. The said cassette tape is available on YouTube....give it a blast.
