lyrics

'79 to '91
and a nation led astray by a mad leader
1991 to 2000
the best years of a generation stolen by a dictator
1993 to 2003
and a man’s twenties are stunted by crippling shyness
well shyness is nice but shyness can stop you
from overthrowing oppressive political regimes

(and our leader says)
"all i’m saying
all i’m doing
i can’t breathe without your love"

cut’n’paste films and tunes
to make a collage of resistance
the stage is the street is the stage
bring down enemy servers by bombarding with e-mails
use digital cameras and satellite phones
and sing...

"why can’t my keyboard help me now?
my home has been bombed into the past
why can’t my country compensate me?
this Lady took the best years of my life"

we are the resistance
the resistance is futile generation
reporting mass desertion from the frontline
