We talked about how we would level this town
Talked about how we would bring the state down
Thought we knew everything, white punks on hope
In our monochrome world we were cream of the crop
No war but class war was our rebel yell
No war but class war, I'm saying it still
So don't talk to me about change without pain
We've been here before and we'll be here again
Formed active cells with the people we knew
Worked in the dark with black widows and glue
Confronted the hunters, defied unjust laws
Smashed up the murals and sprayed up the walls
No war but class war was our rebel yell
No war but class war, I'm saying it still
Don't talk to me about love without rage
Confront with conviction and learn to engage
It’s not the end of days, not the curtain call
Give it your best shot, give it all you got
Nothing to lose, and everything to gain
We questioned all answers, resisted all wars
Took aim at the rich as we scratched up their cars
Battled with loyalists, blacklegs and cops
Sometimes got beaten and sometimes got caught
No war but class war was our rebel yell
No war but class war, I'm saying it still
So don't talk to me about change without pain
We've been here before and we'll be here again
And don't talk to me about hope without hate
You want peace and love well you'll just have to wait

This album is amazing from start to finish. My favourite track is The Golden Hind closely followed by Mow The Sward.
