    Anger has its place but so does Culture Shocks mix of positivity and bombast sounds brilliant still😊

    You've now reached the end of our second LP
    We hope you have enjoyed it)
    Instinctive. Spontaneity. Drive.
    Nearly all your emotions are filtered through
    Til nothing's as good as you'd like it to be
    Til all expectations are tinged with despair
    In the stagnant presumption that nothing can be
    As good as it was in the books
    The girl who lives up to her looks
    The man who provides her a dream
    And the glorious way it "should" be
    But forget it, it "won't ever happen to you"
    If you're feeling down then they want you to
    Up's the direction to glorify in
    Consider the fact that most of your sins
    Are parts of morality that died years ago
    But continue existing til the alternative's known
    They, the big ones, the T-H-E-Y
    The term we all use to pass ourselves by
    Are barriers of silence to the ideas we preach
    Til our slogans descend into figures of speech
    So don't shout 'fuck you!' if you don't like my choice
    Try thinking of something that gives you a voice
    Someone's ability to lead you along
    Does not make him more than a writer of songs
    But if your really want to sing it
    Then yeah! Sing along
    But don't think the end result is making you strong
    Do what you want when you want if you can
    It's oh so much better than having it planned
    If countries were run on spontaneous thought
    Then maybe we'd base things on love a bit more
    The feelings you get when someone you know
    But had never dared speak to, comes up, says "hello"
    When somehow the whole world exists in one kiss
    And you long for the things
    You swore you'd never miss
    Gut feelings, the stomach, the head spins around
    There's so many things we don't talk about
    If I gave a lecture on the glory of sex
    Instead of a lecture on political crimes
    You'd get red and embarrassed and shuffle your legs
    And they say that we live in spontaneous times
    I'm told by 'superiors' we like it this way
    Being told what to do in our lives day by day
    Being ordered and disciplined is natural they say
    And if that's what your want you can hate me ok
    I don't expect less, it's the thought for the day
    But you'll probably deny what you feel anyway
    And even deny your own self-denial
    Even deny your own self-denial
    Even deny your own self-denial
    Even deny your own self-denial
    At this point I'll stop or get bottled off stage
    Or if it's down in a book
    Then you'll rip out a page
    Pure hatred is good in a frightening way
    It can help you let out what you're dying to say
    Express what's inside in a momentary rage
    From normal suppression it makes a good change
    But pure love or anger should not be the factors
    That tell us apart from the everyday actors
    Who live out the roles they were given to play
    And suppress all their feeling and try not to say
    That they love it! It's beautiful! It tears them apart!
    Or they hate it! It's a bastard!
    They don't know where to start
    Try opening your mind and see what falls out
    It's really amazing if you don't think about it
    Just go instinctive spontaneity drive
    It's reality stop number 35
    Where they're queuing for miles to watch you survive
    On the freedom of conscience that keeps you alive
    Keeps you alive
    It keeps me alive!
    There's not many people who like the idea
    Of a life without freedom but they all live in fear
    Of losing the minute amount that they've got
    They say that they know who they are
    But they're not
    They're all individuals under the skin
    'Born losers' were told that no one can win
    'Born winners' created by money, not skill
    This structure is sick, it's even making me ill
    It rubs off on me, you can tell by these songs
    But I went the other way, I think it's wrong
    Of fuck it's all too much, it's all out of touch
    You're telling me I can hear you you see
    I can see you can hear but you cannot believe
    Cos your concept of life lies in envy and greed
    But just cos you want something don't mean your need
    If you can hear and be conscious the rest comes for free
    To bring it to basics this life is a dream
    And when you wake up you will see what I mean
    Now slag this song! Go on, tell me I'm wrong
    Or tell me I'm right, whatever you like
    But please don't take so long
    Or all the spontaneous thoughts will be gone
    All the spontaneous thoughts will be gone
    All the spontaneous thoughts will be dead and gone

    Trump era punk poetry slams ... turned into catchy tunes for less than they were actually worth.
