Heard this song out in the states at Easter '05 when it had the moniker
'Debasing Mansons Grog' or 'Messageboard Song'.

This song kicks ass.
Can't wait for the album.
Can't wait the tour.
Can't wait to hear this song live again as it sounds heavy as.

Enjoy!

lyrics

war is overdue
but time has come for you
to shoot your leaders down
and join forces underground


lose control               (losing control)
and increasing pace        (increasing pace)
warped and we waste        (warped and we waste)
in time to erase           (crime to erase)
whatever they say          (ever they say)
these people are torn      (people are torn)
wild and bereft            (wild and bereft)
assassin is born           (assassin is born)

yeh,woh,yehhh


pose and disagree
destroy demonocracy


lose control               (losing control)
and increasing pace        (increasing pace)
warped and we waste        (warped and we waste)
in time to erase           (crime to erase)
whatever they say          (whatever they say)
these people are torn      (people are torn)
wild and bereft            (wild and bereft)
assassin is born           (assassin is born)
