Track 3 on demo

lyrics

Watching the screen and the way it reflects
the people the actions but in whose interest
the bricks and the stones and the anger and the tears
hope for solution try and interfere
The right the left what does it mean
who's right, who's wrong have we not seen
the types of life brought on by others
the choice is ripe but the taste is sour
it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy

There's fighting in the east, west, north and south
trouble everywhere what's it all about
People, the people beneath we're the same
the colours are different but so is the game
superior beings a superior myth
serious means to create a general rift
The cards are safe but the reasons are few
too many gamblers too many things to do
it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy

Just to listen and learn would be a good thing
to help rewrite what we try to sing
the few have too much far too many have too few
if we rewrite it all, what's next to do
the lyrics are bright and the melodys sweet
the turns are right and the tunes complete
the money head is on the bus for the dead cool rebel whose got the looks
it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy
it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy

Sell you soul for socialism
sell your soul for anarchism
sell your soul for capitalism
Join from apart with realism
Sell your soul for cynicism
Open up to idealism
There's money made from all this hate
Should it stop should it start is it all too late
it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy

Heavy is the song
but these words go on
Heavy all along
but these words belong
Heavy are the sentiments
or so you say
Heavy are the happenings
or so we say

The fools, the rules who rules the roost
who makes the peace when the fighting boosts

The fools, the rules who rules the roost
who makes the peace when the fighting boosts
it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's so easy

not our world Dublin, Ireland

Not our world were a punk d.i.y. band from dublin who played in the late 80's We recorded loads of gigs on what we thought were great tape recorders at the time but it's hard to digitise those. We did do a demo tape which we thought sounded pretty poor and vowed to go back into the studio again. Events conspired against us and we never got back in so here's the tape in all its glory. ... more
