PASS THE AXE 


Kickin' up the dust clouds here we go,
Out to the Wild West. 
Ride the ferry as the sun goes down, 
Carrying on the quest. 
But on the way back all's not well, 
There's an incident on deck. 
Big brave bullies with CS gas, 
Tried to break the kids neck. 
Big brave bullies with CS gas, 
Tried to break the kids neck. 

Pass the axe an' I'll show you justice, 
Pass the axe an' I'll show you what's right. 
Pass the axe an' I'll show you justice, 
Your blocking freedom out of sight. 
Pass the axe and I'll take a slice. 

When a rat is cornered a rat fights back, 
With all the strength he's got. 
Shut yourself in the toilet boys and pray it has a lock. 
Lights they're a flashin', it's a ten-0-four, 
There's trouble in the dock. 
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price, 
Impounded in asbestos. 
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price, 
Impounded in asbestos. 
Abuse your power an' you'll pay the price, 
Impounded in asbestos. 

Hydro - electric city, 
Twentieth Century state. 
Ultrasonic people, 
Nihilistic hate. 

Only six arrests that night, 
It's not what you'd call a riot. 
And now upon the Western Front, 
Everything is quiet. 
The accused stood up, then sat down, 
They ain't done nothing wrong. 
And to commemorate their actions, 
We dedicate this song. 
And to commemorate their actions, 
We dedicate this song.
