Napalm Death
Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism



1. Fuck the Factoid

Spin yarns, carve the face off a main event
Spray that gibberish all around, it is slick
Spin yarns, carve the face off a main event
Graft on that phantom limb, it twists

Get
Get
Get a loosened grip
Get a loosened grip
Loosened grip

Temperature is scalding, needing scapegoats to diffuse
And we all know a non-event's every kind of news
But tell the baying throng the strays have rifled through

You can't lose
You can't lose
You can't lose

Ire
Ire erupts from glad-handing the liars
Ire erupts from glad-handing the liars
Ire

Filthy fucking factoid epidemic sprouting norms
And in the process, hobbling outcasts who already fell short
But tell the baying throng the strays have run amok


Filthy fucking factoid epidemic
Filthy fucking factoid epidemic
Filthy fucking factoid epidemic
Filthy fucking factoid epidemic

Filthy fucking factoid epidemic


2. Backlash Just Because

Backlash just because

Whichever way should suit to stave
Stave me off, stave me off
Never more than premature hawking
Loathsome goods, loathsome goods

Backlash just because

And if I asked you in simple phrasing
To phrase the grudge, phrase the grudge
In fleeing, the motive is imposition?
To kneel in thrall? Kneel in thrall?

Backlash just because

Infectious fabrication leads to blunt
Determination leads to
Backlash just because
Blunt determination leads to rank
Purification leads to
Backlash just because

Kneel in thrall
Stave me off


3. That Curse of Being in Thrall

Curse that yearning for
For being in thrall
Feign like an artform
Weep conceit in thrall

One of many unwashed on your back
Platitude-shitting amorphous mass
Much too much snivelling and payback
Platitude-shitting amorphous mass

Shitting (Shitting)
Shitting (Shitting)
Amorphous mass
Shitting (Shitting)
Amorphous mass
Platitude-shitting amorphous mass

Altruistic wiring of the jaw
Hunched over in thrall
Clipped wings of a hawk
Bull is spayed in thrall

Marked absence of backbone on your back
Platitude-shitting amorphous mass
Egalitarian brandishing shaft
Platitude-shitting amorphous mass


Shitting (Shitting)
Shitting (Shitting)
Amorphous mass
Shitting (Shitting)
Amorphous mass

Denigration
Runts in the kingdom
Mere protection
Pacification
Runts beyond their station
Nullification of my authentic elevation

Of my consummate sanitation
Of my authentic elevation
Of cordial prejudice that's the making
Of the orthodoxy, godless fakers (Of us)

Castration
Runts and collaborators
Invalidation
Feminization
Runts will debauch us
Emasculation

Denigration
Runts in the kingdom
Mere protection
Pacification
Runts beyond their station
Nullification of my authentic elevation


4. Contagion

Perilous is the heart that thrives
Towards a new life is what they strive
Blood is lost as debts are paid
Against all odds in a jungle maze
Steam burns and skin is cracked
Families huddle on the roof racks
Boldly robbed in the night's glare
Human prey for corporate fare

Contagion (Contagion)
Contagion

Greed is contagion refined with a soulless poison
They negotiate in innocence with a greed that's infectious

Back to back on the spine of the beast
Willing to die if that's what it takes
Towards lands that refuse to accept
And build walls to blind eyes to the deaths
Out of fear, they run and hide
A glimpse of rapture their one true guide
The quest for what we take for granted
What should be done to help those disenchanted?

Contagion (Contagion)
Contagion


Greed is contagion refined with a soulless Poison
They negotiate in innocence with a greed that's infectious
Blood soaked currency dictating their doctrine
Baneful sadists
Greed is a contagion

Babies are hoisted aboard the carrion
Negotiations to escape (Limbs upon limbs)
Bodies fall in the throes of sleep
Or in the humid darkness are raped

Summoning courage without guarantees (Without guarantees)
There's no going back, every minute they've seized (Violent extortion)
The brutalities of this inhuman course (Inhuman course)
As their fragile governments try to enforce
Violent extortion

Contagion (Contagion)
Contagion

Contagion (Contagion)
Contagion


5. Joie de ne pas vivre

Bitter pains
Your secrets just can't move on

Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
(Joie de ne pas vivre)

That's already, that's already pitiful
Gotta read all the lettering barrier

Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre
Joie de ne pas vivre

The cops are crashing their car
The street and the filtered funeral
The cops gets already beggar
(Joie de ne pas vivre)


6. Invigorating Clutch

Dispersal
Wipe free
Zap the germs at leaden feet
Scoured-off signatures
Always quell their bleats
Can the encroaching emigrant be dashed to smithereens?

Invigorating clutch
Invigorating clutch

Forego lamenting
Cretins weep
Dislodge footings at leaden feet
Closed to clemency
Live for quelling bleating
Can this pustule on the colony be dashed to smithereens?

Invigorating clutch
Invigorating clutch
Invigorating clutch
Invigorating clutch
Invigorating clutch


7. Zero Gravitas Chamber

In the glint off the sly
To a beat that's all mimed
In the glint off the sly
To a beat that's all mimed
In the glint off the sly
To a beat that's all mimed
In the glint off the sly
To a beat that's all mimed

Off the sly, sly, sly-sly, sly

Feel that objective compression
In itself the auxiliary weapon
Feel that objective compression
In itself the auxiliary weapon
Feel that objective compression
In itself the auxiliary weapon
Feel that objective compression
In itself the auxiliary weapon

In the glint off the sly
To a beat that's all mimed
In the glint off the sly
To a beat that's all mimed

Off the sly, sly, sly-sly, sly
Off the sly, sly, sly-sly, sly


Laudable for a widespread gawk
Breathing hot decorum over all suitors

Breathing hot decorum over all suitors
Breathing hot decorum over all suitors
Breathing hot decorum

Assenting in a zero gravitas chamber
Reloading for you in a zero gravitas chamber
Body bonanza in a zero gravitas chamber

Zero gravitas chamber
Zero gravitas chamber
Zero gravitas chamber

Knowing off-hand bloodshed
Blows up the books
Knowing off-hand bloodshed
Blows up the books
Knowing off-hand bloodshed
Uhh!

Never divesting in a zero gravitas chamber
Better PR volleys from a zero gravitas chamber
Body bonanza in a zero gravitas chamber


Ratchet up the hardware and this will all stop
Breathing hot decorum over all suitors

Hands-off hands, hands-off hands, hands-off hands, hands-off hands
Not such an easy climb right out of that unwounded skin?
Our armaments don't slay, yes, we make them just to entertain
Yes, food not bombs, please, food not bombs
Yes, food not bombs, please, food not bombs
Yes, food not bombs, please, food not bombs
Yes, food not bombs, please, food not bombs
Yes, food not bombs, please


8. Fluxing of the Muscle

Disciplinarian starts pitiless altercations
That is what the people want
That is reverence in the eyes of heads they hold aloft

Never squat in sentiment, meet halfway or make amends
That's not what the people want
That is pissing in the wind and swinging to be clubbed

Pissing in the wind
Pissing in the wind

Lulling fragmentation, this can multiply our cut
That's just what the people want
That is reverence in the eyes of heads they hold aloft

The second you make overtures the neutralized will ransack you
That's not what the people want
That is pissing in the wind and swinging to be clubbed

All this bulging muscle to be fluxed

Swinging to be clubbed
Pissing in the wind
Swinging to be clubbed
Pissing in the wind


Throbbing muscle
Muscle, muscle, muscle
Bowing muscle, muscle
Muscle, muscle, muscle

Fluxing of the muscle
Tension-bound, tense and stout
Fluxing of the muscle
Not dialling down
Not dialling down

Shrinking muscle, muscle, muscle, muscle, muscle
Deadening muscle, muscle, muscle, muscle
Muscle, muscle, muscle, muscle

Fluxing of the muscle
Tension-bound, tense and stout
Fluxing of the muscle
Not dialing down, not dialing down

Those who bark at temperate curse who would cave in and self-flagellate
Come tearing at all you skewed minorities like rutting alpha mammals
With their chests exposed and sinews taut and ready
Ready

This is their language
This is sole gesture
This is their faith
This is out of harm's way
This is their language
This is sole gesture
This is their faith
This is out of harm's way


This is their language
This is sole gesture
This is their faith
This is out of harm's way
This is their language
This is sole gesture
This is their faith
This is out of harm's way

This is their language
This is sole gesture
This is their faith
This is out of harm's way
This is their language
This is sole gesture
This is their faith
This is out of harm's way

Fluxing of the muscle
Tension-bound, tense and stout
Fluxing of the muscle
Not dialing down, not dialing down


9. Amoral

When our emotions summon ghosts
They scratch the wound and feed the host
The past, the lies are all revealed
The layers of guilt can never heal
Trauma seeks a vengeful heart
To pluck the truth out from the dark
We all take turns to hide deceit
But what we sow is what we reap

There's no prediction to apportion hope
Disconnected amoral limbo
Deceiving to achieve
What is there really to achieve?
There's no conviction that can bestow
Disconnected amoral limbo
In the end we're just food for the worms
Shit of the earth

Assassins within our closest kin
Conceived control hid in the wings
Silent, we gave away our faith
A future unknown, a hindered race
Punished for trust the mindless won
Banished, no thought of the outcome
Diseased, you poisoned all with fear
Against ourselves the choice was clear

There's no prediction to apportion hope
Disconnected amoral limbo
Deceiving to achieve
What is there really to achieve?
There's no conviction that can bestow
Disconnected amoral limbo
In the end we're just food for the worms
Shit of the earth
Shit of the earth
Shit of the earth
Shit of the earth
Shit of the earth
Shit of the earth
Shit of the earth


10. Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism

Bursting lungs for the last gasp
Last gasp, last gasp
Bursting lungs for the last gasp
Last gasp, last gasp
Bursting lungs for the last gasp
Last gasp, last gasp
Last gasp

Last gasp and clambering past
Last gasp and clambering past
Last gasp against the rancor of the species
Last gasp, last gasp, last gasp

Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Of joy

Germ-free hold, fecal hate pole
Germ-free hold and a fecal hate pole
Germ-free and I'm nuzzling the jaw of defeatism
Germ-free hold, germ-free hold

Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy


Bigotry quashed in the jaws of defeatism
Throes of joy in the jaws of defeatism
Expletives deleted, defeated, defeated
Deleted, defeated, defeated, defeated, ahh

Love deployed in the jaws of defeatism
Throes of joy in the jaws of defeatism

Vitriol receding despite it succeeding

Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Oh, throes, oh, throes of joy
Wars break out in the thrones
Wipes the floor with defeatism


11. Acting in Gouged Faith

Who am I to not concoct who we are
With a classifying screw or two?
Who am I to not concoct who we are
Whitewashed, tamper-proof?

Flaming torch to your face
Flaming torch
Flaming torch to your face

I won't take this lying down
Color draining stupor in the here, not just now
I won't take this lying down, lying down
Tooth and nail for a selfdom, unfathomed yet espoused

Brute virtue in a spitting feign
Brute virtue
Brute virtue in a spitting feign

(Not lacking irony) I'm aping you
Our pernicious strands of goodness
Really fuse
Our pernicious strands of goodness really fuse

Flaming torch
Brute virtue in a spitting feign
Flaming torch
Brute virtue in a spitting feign


I'm insulating you
New-for-old theocentric opaque spew
New-for-old theocentric opaque spew

Flaming torch
Brute virtue in a spitting feign
Flaming torch
Brute virtue in a spitting feign

In gouged faith
In gouged (In gouged faith)
In gouged faith (In gouged faith)
In gouged faith (In gouged faith)
In gouged faith (In gouged faith)
In gouged faith

Die

The one evolving oneness
Disarmed of power plays
Things are insurmountable
When acting in
In gouged faith, in gouged faith


12. A Bellyful of Salt and Spleen

As soon as I catch
Your eviscerating stare
I could just claw right in and wrench you out

Gas you, gas you, gas you
And boil your lungs to chum
(To chum)

Now try speaking as you find me
Speaking as you find me
As you find me
You find me

Iniquitous smut (As you find me)
Iniquitous smut (As you find me)
Iniquitous smut
Iniquitous smut

As soon as I catch
Your eviscerating stare
I could just claw right in and wrench you out
Salt water between gasps is the cum in this outcome

Poke your corpse upon the golden sands
Your day in the sun
Day in the sun
In the sun
In the sun
In the sun
In the sun
In the sun
