Ted Leo And The Pharmacists - Suspect Device Lyrics

(Originally by Stiff Little Fingers)

Inflammable material planted in my head
It's a suspect device that's left 2000 dead
Their solution is our problem
They put up a wall
On each side time and prime us
And make sure we get f*ck all
They play their games of power
They mark and cut the pack
They deal us to the bottom
But what do they put back?

Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Tell you, don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss out
Suss, suspect device

They take away our freedom
In the name of liberty
Why can't they all just clear off
Why can't they let us be
They make us feel indebted
For saving us from hell
And then they put us through it
It's time those bastards fell

Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Tell you, don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss out
Suss, suspect device

Don't believe us
Don't believe us
Tell you, question everything you're told
Just take a look around you
At the bitterness and spite
Why can't we take over, why can't we make it right?

Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Tell you, don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss out
Suss, suspect device

You're a suspect device if you do what you are told
But a suspect device can score an own goal
I'm a suspect device the Army can't defuse
You're a suspect device you they know they can't refuse
WE'RE GONNA BLOW UP IN THEIR FACE!
