They'll tell you now you're old enough
You should settle down
They'll take away your dignity
So you'll always face the ground

Stand strong stand proud Shout your feelings loud
Stand strong stand proud Don't accept the crowd
Stand strong stand proud We'll rise and they shall fall
Stand strong stand proud One day we'll show them all

They'll offer an alternative
Promises that never end
But is it what you really want?
Their smiles are all pretence

They think they'll get you on the cheap
But who are they to tell?
It's time for you to up your price
You've only got yourself

They'll say that all you lived for
Has deserted you and died
Within you it will always live
Your source of strength and pride

Humiliate and torture
Till I wish I were dead
You say I'm the idiot
Your ignorance is bliss

Apathy is all you preach
The strings of the puppet are out of reach
Ignore it, it might go away
Your at the bottom, that's where you'll stay

You just sit around and get stoned
There's no action, you only moan
Happily waving your white flag
Giving your leaders the last laugh

Left me at the bottom
You thought I'd work for them
Thought I was a joke
I got them in the end

Clawing from the outside
I couldn't leave my mark
Your inside hurts much more
The blood's under my nails

With ego-tripping acid punks
I giggled in a corner
A funeral in 78
I was the only mourner

Hadn't any chance when they dropped their bomb
Left us burning in this molten tomb
While we stand in the glow of radiation
They ruined the whole of creation

Stumbling through the rubble
My head's in a spin
I hear them fighting
The war that no one can win
I'm too young to die
Too late to live
As politicians do the thing
No god can forgive

Time has come for us to die
No memories left to cry
No chance of a rebirth
For the last rockers on Earth

Hadn't any chance when they dropped their bomb
Left us burning in this molten tomb
While we stand in the glow of radiation
They laid ruin to the whole of creation

Wandering around dreamin' of anarchy
All we ever wanted was to be free
Our music was our only joy
But the governments want to search and destroy

On our statues to remind
Those who may come in future time
Of we who fought on city streets
And perished in atomic heat

They can't revert me from my kind
No dreams of power to control my mind
Last rockers rule the world now
There's no one left to fight now
