The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Here in the criminal justice act

It says it's illegal to even react

By marching against the sudden new lack

Of freedom of movement, assembly, and that

Goes for everyone, cos now we're all dispossessed

Little joy in the illusion that they can't mess up our heads

As we're taking life as being a reward

We're constantly told that we can't afford

To live it - not the way we do

Cos now we're breaking the law - is it me or is it you

Who thought we could live without heeding it?

Now the boundaries have shrunk to fit

To lifestyles

Based on total social complicity

To work ethic-media-domesticity

Staying silent in response to freedoms

Being so curtailed we forget we need them

To exist - variety breeds tension

Then people debate what was never mentioned

Before - ideas deal with feelings

And laws try to shape the ideas that we deal in

At the point where the ideas

Have spread enough distance - distance

To call it a lifestyle - lifestyle

We start to meet the resistance

Here in the criminal justice act

All our paranoias turn out to be fact!

They really are out to get you!

So party on, dude!

Now we've all been criminalised

For refusing to be led

They can't control our movements

They can't close down our heads

And if you start to think they can

They've won another round

Toward completion of their plan

To keep the people down

The more we get pushed

The more we push back

Destroy the criminal justice act!

Destroy the criminal justice act!
