Lyrics

The Apollo Programme Was a Hoax

[Verse 1]

Petrol bombs and barricades

Anything to have our say

Consequence of no choice at all

Empires rise and empires fall

Now its time to flip some coins

And it's time to turn some tables

[Verse 2]

Cause if we have the vision I know that we are able

Suck on my words for a while, choke in the truth of a million dead

There is no prestige in your title, we are after your head

The destruction of everything is the beginning of something new

Your new world is on fire and soon you'll be too

[Outro]

Sabotage will set us free

Throw a rock in the machine

Sabotage will set us free

Throw a rock in the machine

Throw a rock in the machine

Throw a rock in the machine
