This Is Not Enough Lyrics - There Must Be Another Way: The Singles - Conflict

So much for the change, the re-arranging and politicians declared dead 

So much for the troops forced out of Ireland, the police abolished 

I read that things had gone too far 

And awareness had caused concern at the top 

But their backbone must not crack, so their city will not stop 

We need a whole new ploy to direct our motives and anger 

Force what we see as right but the system holds our banners 

We need that new ploy, direct our feelings and anger 

Force what we know as right, make our feelings turn into action 

Meanwhile senile morons are shitting bricks 

Because they know the people have learnt 

Just who's who and who funds what 

It's time those bastards tables burned 

But it has all been said in another time 

And if I have sung it once then it is a thousand times 

That if we don't do it now we are never gonna break 

Free from the oppression that makes us hate 

Free from their law, their hypocrisy 

From their war that turns our sunny day gray 

To free all the animals locked in a cage 

Slowly going mad with fits of rage 

It's time to overcome 1984 

Forget that fairytale, slam shut the door 

It's time for reality, not false hopes 

It's time to show them who's the joke 

It's time to take, it's not too late 

So much for the changing 

Re-arranging everything else we said 

So much for their scum forced out of Ireland 

They increased the pressure instead 

If things have gone too far 

Then action will prove fatal to their props 

Yes that backbone might not crack 

But their city tears apart
