Grin and Bear It
Album - 1980 - Debaser id 540113

It's a very small world in the middle of a crowd
the room gets dark when the music gets loud
treble cuts thru' when the rythmn takes the bite
but there's no room to move 'cause the floor is packed tight

A voice shouts loud
'we'll never surrender'
A voice in the crowd
'Never surrender'

A hand in the crowds flying propaganda:
'Never surrender, we'll never surrender'

The skins in the corner are staring at the bar
the rude boys are dancing to some heavy heavy ska
it's getting so hot people are dripping with sweat
the punks in the corner are speeding like a jet

Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys...

A bunch of peers march in on the DM's
with some standing there saluting the air
they wanna be pirates but the sea is not calm
tattooed crossbows on their arm

A voice shouts loud
'we'll never surrender'
A voice in the crowd
'Never surrender'

Another hand fly fly propaganda,
propaganda, propaganda

The lights come alive in a blinding flash
dance floor clears as the mutants clash
everyone leaves when the heavy's arrive
someone hits the floor, someone takes a dive

Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys...

Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Dancing with the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys
Staring at the rude boys...

(fighting)

we'll never surrender x 8

Down in the street just waiting for a bus
This cop comes up, their giving me the SUS
They said ‘Hey sonny, I think you're in our file.
Well, you better come with us for a while'

We got you on SUS
You look to obvious
You better come with us
And don't make no fuss

We got you on SUS

So they shake me down
Try to make me look like a clown
I just stare at the ground

You better come with us
(We got you on SUS)
You look too obvious
(You better come with us)
And don't make no fuss
(Too obvious)
You better come with us
(Don't make no fuss)
We got you well,
We got you on SUS

Solo

You look too obvious
(We got you on SUS)
You better come with us
(You look too obvious)
And don't make no fuss
(You better come with us)
We got you on SUS
(You better come with us)
Don't make no fuss
(You better come with us)
We got you on SUS
(You better come with us)
We got you well
(You better come with us)
We got you well
We got you in SUS

Babylon's burning
You're burning the street
You're burning your houses
With anxiety

With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning

Babylon's burning
You're burning the street
You're burning the ghetto
With anxiety

With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning

Babylon's burning, baby
Can't you see?
Babylon's burning
With anxiety

You'll burn as your work
You'll burn at your play
smouldering
With ignorance and hate

And with anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
With anxiety
Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning

Babylon's burning, baby
Can't you see?
Babylon's burning
With anxiety

Babylon's burning
Babylon's burning
