British Disease Lyrics - Subhumans

Hatred in the hearts of the young population 

Riots in the streets of the "civilised" nation 

Was it the poverty? Was it the police? 

No - it's the British disease 

The inbred snobbery 

The patriot law 

Violence and robbery 

The state declares war 

The youth of today with a broken voice 

Have got something to say - they ain't got a choice 

Racist police - backed by the state 

Wipe out the ghetto and build up the hate 

All the wrong answers 

All the wrong ideas 

The riot lasts a day 

But the problem lasts for years 

The great British public they can't understand 

Why should there be riots in this civilised land? 

Why is the country being pulled to its knees? 

Ignorance is the British disease 

Ignorance is the British disease 

Ignorance is the British disease 

Ignorance is your disease 

Ignorance and apathy 

Ignorance and bigotry 

You found it all so easy to ignore the people who complained 

and let their anger rise in flames 

You thought this country was so great 

that nobody could ever hate the way the system treated them 

And then you wondered why they burnt your buildings down
