Big A, little a,
Bouncing B
The system might have got you but it won't get me



CRASS - BIG A, little a

"The shit we have to climb through is the shit we choose to take"

If you don't like the rules they make, refuse to play their game
If you don't want to be a number, don't give them your name
If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to hear their question
Silence is a virtue, use it for your own protection

edit: in the 21st century this means REJECT ALL COOKIES, use a VPN, cover your tracks, etc

He
Won't ride in cars anymore
It reminds him of blowjobs

I should try to think of some that aren't sexual and fucked up.

Always liked the 4-Skins' contradictory "Just left school, you can't find no work / Be a building labourer or an office clerk"

 

[martin]

When I met you you were just sixteen
Pulling the wings off of flies
When an old lady got hit by a truck
I saw the wicked gleam in your eyes

@martin ripped off name - the K9s and DOGBREATH's never released EP was going to be called the '4 skins EP ', but the London guys got in there first

edit: actually, it was probably DOGBREATH'S AND THE K9s

but yeah,

No, the one about Idi Amin.

 

[william_kent]

lol

No, the one about Idi Amin.

I would never do that

I work with a guy from Uganda, that would be beyond reproach

Someone's got it in for me
They're planting stories in the press
Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out quick
But when they will I can only guess
They say I shot a man named Gray
And took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky

Rich needs to restate the rules

Why?

 

[IdleRich]

Always liked the 4-Skins' contradictory "Just left school, you can't find no work / Be a building labourer or an office clerk"

That doesn't rhyme in England

 

[IdleRich]

My name is Luka, I live on the second floor

 

[version]

All life was there
But the path disappears

 

[hint]

I was saying “let me out of here” before I was even born,
It’s such a gamble when you get a face

 

[Benny Bunter]

I was born in a crossfire hurricane
