Rival Tribal Rebel Revel Lyrics - Crass

Cor blimey 

Cor blimey guvnor I'm the big'un 

Cop an eyeful of this muscular arm 

Dealing out pain is my kind of fun 

Get my drift? I mean real harm 

I like the sound of cracking bones 

At the sight of blood I thrill 

I like to listen to the agonised moans 

As I go in for the kill 

Tribal wars are raging 

There's a battlefield in the street 

There's games to play and hell to pay 

When the rival tribal rebels meet 

I'd rip anybody limb from limb, you see 

Chivvy 'em and shivvy 'em through 

I'll simply DO any bastard who ain't like me 

There's no telling what, why and who 

I ain't got a purpose and I don't give a fuck 

I never asked for this life 

If you're looking for reasons you're out of luck 

I'll show you the point with my knife 

Tribal wars are raging 

No one's safe out on their own 

The gangs are about and they scream and shout 

So you'd better not be caught alone 

I do it cos there ain't nothing else to do 

There ain't nowhere'll let me in 

I love to hate, to hurt, to screw 

So I've destroyed every place where I've been 

I smashed up the local so I can't get a beer 

At the dancehall I chivvied up this bloke 

Left him with a smile cut from ear to ear 

But the bleeder never got the joke 

Once had a bird but I put her up the spout 

So I told her where she could get off 

She cried a bit, said I was a lout 

But if you're a man you've got to be tough 

I used to go down the cafe for tea 

But I put me boot through the door 

So now it ain't open for the likes of me 

And I'm back on the streets like before 

Tribal wars are raging 

Our heroes are standing tall 

But the truth of the matter 

If you cut out the patter 

Is that pride comes before a fall 

They can stand on their corner 

With their violence and their hate 

Stand there and fester 

Till they've left it too late 

To realise it's themselves that they've put there on the spot 

Cos they've wasted the one and only life that they've got 

Tribal wars are raging 

Everyone's just acting out bad parts 

Hey there, big man, take a look at yourself 

It's in the mirror that the real war starts
