Survival Sickness

The(International) Noise Conspiracy Survival Sickness Lyrics
1.I Wanna Know About U

I wanna know about your little secret, I want to know why we are
not equal
I wanna know about the great pyramids, I want know what they
really did
I wanna know about Tianmen square, the names and faces of those
who died there
I wanna know about the communards, riot in Paris where the
action was
I wanna know about U
I wanna know about 1939, Spanish anarchists in our time
I wanna know about the young pretenders, I want to know about
what it meant
I wanna know about the soulrebels, the allnighters in every
weather
I wanna know about the books your reading and the blood that you
are bleeding
I wanna know about U


2.The Subversive Sound

Tonight I'm going to testify that everybody,s going to be alive
(I said) I'm so sick of doing time, so please won't you fill my
mind
Tonight I'm going to be alive down on the floor for another
round
like lips kissing in the moonlight
Tonight I'm bound to testify all of my love and all my life
So grab my hand and hold on tight
We're all superstars, yeah that's what we are
96 tears and everything,s in here for you
Tonight were going to feel the heat alive right now between the
sheets
Lovers in here strike up the beat
Tonight I'm going to feel alive licking your neck and doing fine
Passion is the biggest crime come on down to the subversive
sound


3.Smash It Up

I want to smash it up for all the workers who spent hours into
nothing
I want to smash it up for all my sisters who got caught up in
this punk ass
system
I want to smash it up just like a locust, like a satellite
shooting rockets
I want to smash it up in every way I can and right now I think I
want to be
your man
Smash it up when I'm down
I want to smash it up for all the kids who got fucked up just
like their
parents did
I want to smash it up - the gods and masters who made us die so
much faster
Yeah you know I want to smash it up
Smash it up when I'm down
I want to smash it up for all the people and for our right to be
treated equal
I want to smash it up for all my friends I hope you stick around
until the very
end
Yeah you know we gotta smash it up
Smash it up when I'm down


4.I've Got Survival Sickness

Manifest this repression with smart bombs and easy listening
Rally me up in this non-decision making, I got my mind in for
the taking
My heart still hurts from last night
I've got survival sickness
Entertain me, the plot thickens, serve me up some (promises) of
your good living
A grand total of understatement, show me salvation and I'll tell
you why I hate it
My heart still hurts from last night
I've got survival sickness
You know how it feels not to be wanted down here
You know how it feels not to feel at home anywhere
You know how it feels to live down on your knees
You know how it feels to always say please
My heart still hurts from last night
I've got survival sickness


5.The Reproduction Of Death

Won't you forget about me when I'm gone
The reproduction of death drags us all along
Close your eyes and pretend that nothing's wrong
Won't you forget about me when I'm gone
Stomp your feet, nod your head and we all move on
Close your eyes and pretend
Hey won't you sell me like cheap bubble-gum
I'm going out of my head
Won't you forget about me when I'm gone
The reproduction of death forces us all in line
An installment plan on a slow suicide
Won't you forget about me
Hey won't you sell me like cheap bubble-gum
I'm going out of my head
Won't you forget about me when I'm gone
Lost all hope and dreams in this killing zone
Won't you forget about me when I'm gone
Lets pretend that we all get along


6.Imposter Costume

I saw my face on a wanted sign, it was plastered all over town
I saw my face on a wanted sign, high-treason was my crime
It's all a part of the conspiracy, the hunting down of you and
me
I saw a wall full of wanted signs, and I see your face I see it
all the time
They're looking for us everywhere, everywhere and we don't care
I saw my face on a wanted sign, it was plastered all over town
I saw my face on a wanted sign, so I knew I had to get on down
I had to change my identity, find a new face for you and me
I saw my face on a wanted sign, I knew right there I had to get
away
They're looking for us everywhere, everywhere and we dont care
Yeah, I want to do it right
Everybody knows that were all crazy, everybody knows that were
all fucked up
A new face so that I could get away, get away for just a single
day
A new identity in a hundred ways, no more an outcast or a simple
slave
So I slipped into my brand new part, an open book a brand new
mark
A new identity for you and me, a new face that might set us free
'Cause they're looking for us everywhere, everywhere and we
don't care
Yeah I want to do it right
Everybody knows that were all crazy, everybody knows that were
all fucked up
Hey I said hey I said hey, everybodys got a new face


7.Intermission


8.Only Lovers Left Alive

You can choke on easyways while we stay up every night and every
day
Doesnt matter what you say 'cause your ways are all so fucking
lame
Yeah and we're all coming over while you take your pills and we
watch you fall asleep
Yeah and we're all going to dig the sound on the new beat
There's no way that your going to make it out of here in time
'Cause only lovers, only lovers are going to be left alive
Feel that heat that we are all taking about, a realization of
our wildest schemes
Your lack of passion and your lack of dreams pretty much made
you obsolete
No more sitting down, shutting up, taking shit, we could never
dream of it
No more sitting down, shutting up, taking shit, we could never
dream of it
Yeah and we all going to scream about it
Yeah and the kids are finally going to reign
Yeah get rid of all the adults they couldn't take the strain
There's no way that your going to make out of here in time
'Cause only lovers are going to be left alive
You can choke on easyways while we stay up every night and every
day
Doesn't matter what you say 'cause today your traditions are
completely dead
Yeah and we're taking over, yeah the old ways are going down
Yeah we're all dying of laughter, yeah while we dig the new
sound


9.Do I Have To Spell It Out ?

Do I have to spell it out?
Hey I've got just one little thing to say
I've got a little secret if you want to come my way
Do I have to spell it out?
Yeah I've got you under my thumb
I've got my desires free to grab for everyone
'Cause you know that I wanted you
So please be careful with the words you choose
There is so much that we can do
Yeah I wanted you to be by my side
Everyone in here all of the time
Do I have to spell it out?
And you know that I always wanted you
And you know there is so much that we can do
And you know something about the words we choose
And if you ever think about loving
Please consider me
Yeah I've got just a little thing to say
an insurrection, a new direction coming our way
Do I have to spell it out?
And you know that I always wanted to be with you
And you know that together were no fools
And you know there is nothing that we cant do
And if you ever think about loving


10.Will It Ever Be Quiet ?

I want to thank the industrialization for the noises it gave
Thanks for the planes and thanks for the trains
And for the factories that you've made
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
I want to thank this cultural production for the sounds that it
brings
It makes us amplify our manifestos and it enables me to sing
I want to thank you, my little Nemesis, for everything
For making my head explode and for making my ears ring
Do you remember when it was quiet down here?
I want to thank the industrialization for the noises it gave
Thanks for the planes and thanks for the trains
And the factories that you've made
I send out all of my thanks to the city that never sleeps
It's spreading all over the world, new sounds every week


11.Enslavement Blues

I'm enslaved by the weekdays
By their names Monday and Friday
I'm enslaved by the things we say
And everywhere I go a little secret
And I wish that you would come here
And tell me that we're all doing fine
And I wish that you would come here
And tell me that were not losing our minds
I'm enslaved by the living space
by the walls, roofs and the working place
I'm enslaved by the games we play
No matter what I do, I will still sell myself
And I wish that you would come here
And tell me that we're not dying here
And I wish that you would come here
And tell me that we're not dying here
I'm sure that we all want to blow
And I said thats what we ought to do
I'm sure that we all want to change it all
That's why I'm coming to you
I'm sure that you all want to know
I'm sure you all want to blow
I'm enslaved by the weekdays
By their names Monday and Friday
I'm enslaved by the words we say
Every little sentence turns me into a slave
And I wish that you would come here
And tell me that we're all doing fine
And I wish that you would come here
And tell me that we're not losing our minds
I'm sure that we all want to blow
And I said thats what we ought to do
I'm sure that we all want to change it all
Thats why I'm coming to you
I'm sure that we all want to know
I'm sure you all want to blow
I'm a slave


12.Ready Steady Go !

Got my heart set on destruction, going to plant a bomb inside my
mind
Filled with passion, hope and resistance, take it to the streets
this time
Going to steal the language of power, the power of these words
are ours
No rhetorical blackmail to make us convey that, baby, theres no
other way
Got my heart set on destruction of the more Bakuninesque kind
Tear it down to built something new up, work myself all wet this
time
Going to gather my brothers and sisters, together we will
organize
The biggest festival of the history, the biggest party of our
lives
Yeah I'm going to give you some news
I've got the insurrection blues
You and me, the Conspiracy!
