Youth Of Today We lack parental guidance, witness domestic violence Drug use and drinking every day Aint got no education, don't want the aggravation, We've got the means to make our way. Chorus The kids in this town, try to push us around, We're all alienated, and thats why the gangs are formed, So we are not alone and the street is our home, We'll protect our own. We are the youth of today, we are the proof of decay, we are your future. We are the youth of today, we are the proof of decay, we are your future. Aint got no aspirations, we act in desperation, To make a difference to the days, We don't need ammunition, we need a new direction, Before our lives just go to waste.

New Rules 01:57
New Rules In the corner with a flag you sing the anthem with a hand on your heart, You still believe in it. Tell me is it pride or shame, singing songs for land not people, You still believe in it. And time will tell, if your borders build a future, While we are rewriting all the rules. The story always end the same, never fail it was stolen from you, Used to believe in it. Make it easy on yourself and say, its not land but the wrong kind of people. Used to believe in it. And time will tell, if your borders build a future, While we are rewriting all the rules. In the hearts and the minds of the people. So you think this is living but no heart beats here today, High on past glories with no right to lay claim, Or disgrace....Will borders build a future.

Bombs In Your Backyard In the city we live and breathe you know, We're just the same as everyone, Dead men selling stories of their lives in crime, Headline the same but the name changed, We're just the same as everyone. Take a look your conscience when you've time. Chorus You know you just might find, its been shut down, If there's blood on the streets then I don't see the cracks tonight, Still they say the war is over. With bombs in your backyard and no place to call home, The war that you fight starts at your door. In the sand so far from home you know, We're just the same as everyone, Dead men but the story just won't sell, this time, Politics never meant people, We're just the same as everyone, Take a look your conscience when you've time,

Human Nature You are the cancer but there'e no hope for a cure, Cause you're too divided to unite for a cause. Fuck it up, you only fuck it up and thats for sure, Fuck it up, you always fuck it up for everyone. You are consumers you choose what you want, Take till there's nothing left and then you move on. Use it up, you're going to use it up until its gone, Use it up, you're going to take it all because you can. With billions of humans on top of the food chain, You're consuming the world, you have nothing left to fear, Resources will run out but not in your lifetime, So what do you care, for a world you'll never see? So what can we hope for against human nature? Earthquake, volcano, tsunami, tornado, The forces of nature continue to strike, War, diseases and famine take their toll, But its not enough to stem the rising tide.
5.
Same Old Story Well, we've seen it all before, rotten to the core, Always wanting more, a money grabbing whore, Who cares about the cost? Fuck those who lost, Happy with your lot, if you come out on top, But thats going to change...Its time for change, Chorus Its just the same old story, the rich against the poor, The gap is growing wider, we've heard it all before, Our land of hope and glory, is a country on the slide, Despair and deprivation, is all that you provide ...here. Now there's, violence on the streets, terror on the news, Prisons overflow and change is overdue, Banks are in the red, housing markets dead, Recession lies ahead, in spite of what you said. We're sick and tired of the same old story, The same old story has been told to generations young and old.
6.
Nothing To You Tearing down the walls again, a designer riot, Point the lens and snap away, Hope your cigarettes look good, You don't enjoy the taste, Swear like it would shock, After all, what could be worse than words? Chorus It means nothing to you, But it means something to me. So refined, That you don't even have a bitter taste, Burn those spotlights bright, It's time to upgrade, try something new.

Streetlight Riot Just a battering ram in the city tonight, we've got the boys all singing, Now it's closing time but the tanks still full yeah, What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? Sinking shots downtown, check the connection, But the battery's dead, still warming up for the main event, yeah It s that time again, Chorus Another streetlight riot, bloody nosed and bleeding, Streetlight riot, make the connection, or did we drink through it again? Hold on tight, the rides not over, drinks hit home, can't keep them down, A squad car, another job well done, yeah, It's that time again. There's gonna be a riot, there's gonna be a riot in the streets tonight There's gonna be a riot, there's gonna be a riot in the city tonight.

Why Don't You? I'm gonna tell you one more time, You can stick it where the sun don't shine, Self-preservation is all you care about, If you can kick them in, then kick them out. I'll say it slowly watch my lips, You either fuck off or you'll feel my fist. I won't let you stand and preach at me, Telling me what should and shouldn't be, I don't want to see you in my face, Telling about the master race, I don't understand your bigotry, I just want to see you on your knees, Begging their forgiveness for your sins, ignorance and insignificance. Why don't you just Fuck Off (and die), Why don't you just Fuck Off (and die), Why don't you just Fuck Off (and die), Why don't you just Fuck Off (and die).

Celebrity Stalker When we first saw you, you were looking for a scapegoat, Another stalker on the corner in a raincoat, But television made you famous like your target, You're in the papers and we're right back where we started. Chorus There's now way out, Its time to take you down, Take a long hard look in the mirror, You've got the cold dead eyes of a killer, You're living out your fantasy, What's the definition of celebrity. You wouldn't risk it, if you didn't like the gamble, I bet rejection will be more than you can handle, Just like a taste of all the fame and adulation, You'll be the victim of your own assassination. You can't take it, you won't make it, you can't fake it, Got to raise your game. Make your claim to fame. You've got to be insane.

Holding Cell 02:56
Holding Cell In the heart of insurrection, embers burn away, Like masses drunk on progress, condemned to all mistakes, Yes we wait for them to learn, Yes we wait, for them to learn. With instinct but no reason, comes pride before a fall, It's the holding cell that keeps you, a legacy for us all. Yes we wait for them to learn, Yes we wait, for them to learn. But they never do. Chorus No time for home truths, The past is fiction, so whose left to blame. In the heart of insurrection, you became that which you hate, And its nothing new to falter, just realised it too late to change, The holding cell that keeps you, holds on to us all, We wait for the future, the past wasn't break our fall.

Out Of Spite 02:44
Out Of Spite You were there for the Subhumans, you were there for GBH, But where the fuck were you lot at all the other dates, You say you’re from the old school but what about the new, If we’re to be united, then it’s all down to you. You saw the Swingin’ Utters, you were there for NOFX, But where the fuck are lot, when bands aren’t on Fat Wreck, Support your local punk bands, whatever style they play, And punk rock will keep on thriving, all over the UK. Chorus Punk rock, it is our life support machine, C’mon don’t pull the plug, Support your local scene. C’mon all you punks, you skins you straight edgers, C’mon all you hard core, ska punk skaters, Unite, don’t just do it out of spite.

about

After 13 years together, we decided to finally write enough songs for our own album and not give songs away for compilations. Lee started writing some songs (think he realised he wasn't a temporary member, but 'in it for life'), previously it had been all down the Dave, since Andy left the band, with John just chipping in bits here and there. In August 2008 we went into Soundstation Studio in Wakefield, a studio Lee had used with his other bands. The engineer was Mark Sturgess, a lovely, patient guy, who gave us this album that we are all proud of - The Heart Of Insurrection.

We recorded a promo video with Thirskploitation for Bombs In Your Backyard, link here -
