about

This is a re-imagining of a track by my first proper band, Warp Spasm. It originally appeared on our 1990 EP Barmy Fluid. I have never been happy with the version we recorded. We cocked it up in the studio, and even more significantly we weren't musically savvy enough to realise it's full potential. Thirty two years later I finally snapped and spent a weekend recording a new version, which is over twice the length of the original and has a bunch of extra riffs that were floating around back then. I had to write a whole bunch extra lyrics for this, which was fun getting back into the nonsense headspace we were in when we were teenage idiots. This was fun to do and I hope you enjoy it.

lyrics

Government Slaves

Bombs fall, contort human life
No understanding in their eyes

Insane and strange things that they don't understand
The Government Slaves
The Government Slaves

Enemy unto their own self
Psyche reprogrammed, the latest lies

Insane and strange things that they don't understand
The Government Slaves
The Government Slaves

Human droids are destroyed
No one benefits from lies
Android flesh, diseased mess
No one left to be enslaved

Chaos rules, mutant fools
Bask in the infinite war
Decimate, intellect
Celebrating emptiness

Termites are the blueprint
For a million lives
We are fuel for a cruel
Infinite meat grinder

Nobody is in charge
Psychopathic law
Endlessly broken down
To slurry, poverty

Dystopian stalemate
ignorant and wise
Nothings real, all is dead
Become the nihilist

Who are the masters of
The government slaves?
Internet, human fools
The virus, aliens?
