Lyrics Chairman of the bored Crass

Chairman of the bored


Tiring moments, fucked up minds,
Empty faces, eyes that are blind.
Flick through the papers, car crash death,
Vacant pages offer no breath.
Of hope, future, possibility,
To those fucked up mindless people who haven't got the eyes to see,
That the pages of The Guardian or the pages of The Sun,
Are just a load of fucking lies, are just a fucking con.
Why do they feed us rubbish? Why do they feed us shit?
Is this really what they think we want? Scrapings from the pit?
Why don't they give us something which isn't just their lies,
Their own particular angle from their own unseeing eyes?

I'm the chairman of the bored, and I'm asking for some truth, truth, truth, truth.
I'm the chairman of the bored, and I'm looking for some proof, proof, proof, proof,
That there's something more than their fucked up game,
That their mindless lives and mine aren't the same.
I'm looking for something that I can call my own,
Which ain't a Ford Cortina or a mortgage on a home.
I'm the chairman of the bored, and I'm looking for some truth, truth, truth, truth.
I'm the chairman of the bored, and I'm asking for some proof.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics CHAIRMAN OF THE BORED of CRASS is also present in the album Stations of the crass (1979)

Biografia

Crass was an English punk band formed in 1977. Considered pioneers of anarcho-punk, they promoted anarchism as a political ideology, lifestyle and resistance movement. Their music, often characterized by experimental sounds and politically charged lyrics, helped spread the DIY (Do It Yourself) culture within the punk movement. Crass was involved in various social causes, such as animal rights, environmentalism, feminism, anti-racism and anti-war. The band produced a vast amount of musical material, including albums, EPs and singles, as well as films and graphic works. Some of their most representative tracks include 'Enola Gay', 'Banned Area' and 'How Does It Feel To Be?', which reflect the social and political themes addressed by the band.
