You Gotta Life - The Brotherhood

The time is 3am, when?

The date is 6th of June, 1962

Lets measure the worth, at the birth of you

Let me take you to, the pre-natal center

Time for you to enter, ripping from placenta

The way that it was meant’a, sent from God’s miracles

Screaming from your mum’s mouth, huggin on umbilicle

Pinnicle exist, twist the photo lens

Now your dads taking photo’s for his friends

Ends, justify the means, rip your mumma cleans

Smack the baby’s bot and splash the blood up on the screens

Scene’s, of love and life, man and wife why?

You the baby boy and now the apple of your mum’s eye

Inside, back at home, got you cosy like the womb

Got the Captain Caveman painting and wallpaper on your room

Soon, your growing up a million years past the door

Got you walking on your hind legs from crawling on the floor

All awestruck, dont want ya trip up, so your daddy buys your box

And shaves your head from baby locks

Time tocks, brother wants to pass on his legacy

Exercise conditions, so the ID is hereditary

Apple of his eye, choking adams throats

So your father starts to dote on his great white hope

Nope, you were just a nappy wearing drip-lover

Daddies got ideas of his own little Hitler…

Ya gotta life…

Ya gotta life, but dont know how to live it do ya?

Verse Two:

Six years old, now you on the street playing footie

Dad will teach you how to sweep, but dont play with mister sooty

Goodie goodie gum drops, daddy loves scotch

Always drunk on the job so his stars always botch

Swatch, another twelve years in the void

Feels like four score and ten that your dads unemployed and annoyed

Sitting in the front room bitter

Screaming how the immigrants have done him right up in the shitter

Gary Glitter, there’s noone left in my gang, my gang

All the jobs are taken my the hood or the ying-yang

Slang enough abuse through the windows at the passers

Shoutin' cut your hair to the pappi’s and the rasta’s

Now he has ta', take a drink cause he parky

Tellin' you your mummy just run off with a darkie

Took the car keys, left him there without his dinner

Crying 'Oh' to his lord, while she’s out to sinner

Head spinner, now you doubting days and confused

Can’t make your own desicion cause your mind has been abused

Used, now you try to make your own choice

You try to open your mouth but you ain’t got your own voice

Poised on the edge with the broken rolemodel

No longer protected by the days of the squabble

Mind boggle, make you ohh make you ahh

You got a life, but dont know how to live it do ya…

Verse Three:

Ooh, so now the shit’s hit the fan

Out on your own, try to act like a man

Damn, who’s annointing bitterness and blame

Pointing all the fingers to the one’s that ain’t the same

Aim, your anger fighting tooth and nail to the cross

Undirected mind in the shadow of the squashed

Lost, cause you got no place to go

Slow, stifling the earth got no space to grow

No, all you think is off your broken family

Signed subscriptions, pay your money to the BNP

You want a Yid bashing rump

Circumstances pump and you do the Nazi slump

From, whence did you come from think

Became your daddy’s clone in the speed of a blink

If there was any good there, it must have gone through ya

Ya gotta life, but dont know how to live it do ya'…
