Lyrics

So this a new beginning, as the new century dawns
The world's a better place for you and me
Shouldn't smoke or drink or watch that evil filthy porn
Be christian and god will set you free
But being poor is worse than having aids
The homeless live in boxes at our feet
Living in a constant state of dull frustrated rage
The innocent shot daily in the street

Chorus
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
[Repeat]

The government has always been you pal as you well know
Absolute corrupted power play
If we all wipe each other out, it only goes to show
While the bureaucrats get richer by the day
Smoking dope will get you more than murder one
And even worse than statutory rape
Don't understand your children, so you send them all to jail
Beleive me, you will never make a worse mistake

Chorus

The government is coming and it wants to be your friend
It wants to show you how to be a snitch
Inform upon your children, the inevitable end
Is everyone's a victim but the filthy fucking rich
And religion, like the monster that it is
Keeps telling you to turn the other cheek
God is on your side, but I don't think that you're on his
If jesus showed up now he'd be in jail by next week

Chorus
