2013 lyrics
by Primal Scream
[Verse 1]
21st Century slaves
A peasant underclass
Television, propaganda, fear
How long will this sh*t last?
Punk rock came and went and nothing changed
Was it just a pose?
Every generation buys the lie
Just like the one before
Bought and sold
[Interlude]
Oh
[Verse 2]
What happened to the voices of dissent?
Gettin' rich, I guess
Become part of the establishment
Power corrupts the best
They killed the counter-culture underground
It offers no critique
No revolutionary spirit left
They've sanitized the freaks
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the final solution to teenage revolution
The total subjugation of the rock and roll nation
Inducted, corrupted, seduced and reduced
Deluded, excluded, shackled and hooded
[Chorus]
2013
2013
2013
2013
Alright
[Verse 3]
Soldier boys dyin' in the war
Hear their mothers cry
The chairmen of the board of BP, Shell
Are guilty of war crimes
Thatcher's children make their millions, hey
Remember Robespierre
Guilty of complicity is guilt
What are we doin' here?
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the final solution to teenage revolution
The total subjugation of the rock and roll nation
Inducted, corrupted, seduced and reduced
Deluded, excluded, shackled and hooded
[Chorus]
2013
2013
2013
2013
2013
2013
2013
2013
Come on
[Verse 4]
Make a pact with prostitution
Sow disorder in the family
You speak of love, you speak of colours
You fear in others what you fear in yourself
You hate in others (The underground horses are rising)
What you lack in yourself (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in chains (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in chains (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in chains (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in chains (The underground horses are rising)
Souls in pain (The underground horses are rising)
[Instrumental Break]

Equalised, normalised, sanitised, lobotomised
Equalised, normalised, sanitised, lobotomised
Equalised, normalised, sanitised, lobotomised
Equalised, normalised, sanitised, lobotomised
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies
Truth and lies, truth and lies, truth and lies, open your eyes
