What The Fuck? Lyrics - Penis Envy - Crass

(chorus) 

What now? Now you would destroy the earth 

Dry, the river beds 

What now? Now in your control, birth and death 

Dry, the bodies, incandescent in the heat 

Your fire is melting both soil and soul 

In plan maybe, is that not enough? 

Your war and raving of it is so total 

You're consumed by it as you'd consume us 

Would you see the fire from your sanctuary of death? 

What terrible pain you need to hide 

In your hatred you'd seek to destroy the earth 

What is it that you have been denied? 

Your mind and its rantings are so barren 

What the fuck are you thinking? What the fuck? 

Your eyes and their vision, empty, staring 

What the fuck are you seeing? What the fuck? 

So singularly your motives, yet impossible to define 

How finely lined my destiny in the cobwebs of your crime 

So insular your future, so alien your plan 

Take all of this if you will and take what I can 

A town that is no more 

"My God", you say, "What have I done?" 

But you won't heed what's gone before 

"What pity?", you say, "There is none" 

And so you drive the world to war 

But this war will not be lost or won 

The desolation that you've seen but never saw 

Is the lesson that you teach, but never learn 

But would you see the fire in the world where you exist? 

Will your hard eyes register the pain? 

Are you so cold that there is no distress? 

Where there's death would you give death again? 

No flowers in your landscape, some withered rose 

Kicked amongst the corpses where they lay 

Halted where all hope died, froze 

By the horror of your acts compelled to stay 

Unnoticed all this in your lusting after death 

How determined that your darkness should be shared 

Unnoticed in your blindness this miracle of breath 

What element of beauty attracts your cruel desire? 

Would you see the burning? Is that your delight? 

Would you have me see it in your stead? 

Would you feel my yearning? Peace, life, light 

Body, breath. Would you take all this? 

What is it that you're seeking, so cold and so deprived? 

What is it that you dream of in your empty eyeless head? 

Why must I share your lust of death? 

Can you not die alone? Why must I share your fear of breath 

Life, light, PEACE?
