Lyrics

Devastation

They won't play your song on the radio

The war is being played out on our television

Once said the drug of the nation

Your cultural riches are now history

Aggravation

Aggravation

Your remaining people have no

Trenches left from which to fight

The rich militia hold their guns

With rich smiles on their faces

While there's looting going on

There's a devil flying overhead

What a fucking pile of shit

Devastation
