Track Name: Calm like a Riot - Anger is a Gift
If you only read one book in your life then for gods sake shut up
Take responsibility for your actions don’t just leave it up to luck
You shouldn’t let anger control your words yeah you want to bet
When I say things in anger it’s the best lyrics I’ll ever regret
Better keep silent and let people think that you’re thick
Rather than talking without thinking and then so confirming it
We let it slip when we should be trying to control it
Control comes from the rich but it’s us who have to live in it
It’s the pit we’ve hit the bottom but is the only way up
If you want to make your dreams come true you have to wake up
The immediate media state keeps us sedated
Keep watching TV while issues remain indebted
You’ve got two choices either except these conditions
Or accept the responsibility to try and change them
You’ve got two choices either except these conditions
Or accept the responsibility to try and change them

So won’t you stop preaching and start teaching where are we going wrong
How the hell should I know I’m just writing a song?
But as long as we don’t ask the impertinent questions
The con will be prolonged and go on and on and on
Talk about it rant about it have a conversation
Or we’ll just end up another jilted generation
Don’t turn on tune out at least we’re in a nation
Where talking about politics doesn’t lead to incarceration
How far would you go to change your situation?
Are you a Miles cooper or miles more patient?
How far would you go to regain some control?
Work like an immigrant or rely on dole
How far would you go to regain some control?
Work like an immigrant or rely on dole

So give me something real
Give me something real to keep
I’m not going to compete with the antisocial elite
I’m marching to my own beat
Standing firm on my feet
So give me something real to keep

If anger is a gift then it must be my birthday
Every time I turn on the news and hear what they have to say
If rhyming a crime then I’m doing life
If I could cut the red tape then I’d carry a knife
Don’t skate around the subject it’s not an ice rink
Don’t make my mistake and believe everything you think
Brought to the brink but don’t blink or you’ll miss it
Your life’s not a game but they’re playing with it
Confusing you views makes you easy to control
Haven’t you heard submission doesn’t have to be your role
But as long as we don’t argue and start the debate
It’s like a gold fishing bowl and you haven’t any bate
Your state of mind is blind to the state of affairs
The problem is than no one cares to care
Your state of mind is blind to the state of affairs
The problem is than no one cares to care

So give me something real
Give me something real to keep
I’m not going to compete with the antisocial elite
I’m marching to my own beat
Standing firm on my feet
So give me something real to keep

Oh god I think we’re going blind to the junk that’s pumped into our minds
Every time, every time, every time
Oh god I think we’re going blind to the junk that’s pumped into our minds
Every time, every time, every time

I’d make a poor doctor because I haven’t any patience
The words of our politicians are just a nuisance
Why must they speak they can’t improve on silence
The science of compliance has me incandescent
These words are they meant to leave an impression
The lesson I’ve learnt is they get the concession
While we’re sitting rotting in recession
Expensive expenses it’s all so depressing
I wear short sleeves it’s my only right to bare arms
Why are the ones without weapons in the way of harm?
Now I’m calm like a riot how can we be quiet?
We went to war on the whim of a god dam liar
Questions, questions so many questions
But no answers and so no learnt lessons
Questions, questions so many questions
But no answers and so no learnt lessons
