Gang of Four Lyrics of the Anthrax track

Woke up this morning desperation a.m.

What I've been saying won't say them again

My head's not empty, it's full with my brain

The thoughts I'm thinking

Like piss down a drain



And I feel like a beetle on its back

And there's no way for me to get up

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax

And that's something I don't want to catch



Ought to control what I do to my mind

Nothing in there but sunshades for the blind

Only yesterday I said to myself

The things I'm doing are not good

For my health



"Love crops up quite a lot as something to sing about,

cos most groups make most of their songs about falling in love

or how happy they are to be in love,

you occasionally wonder why these groups do sing about it all the time -

it's because these groups think there's something very special about it

either that or else it's because everybody else sings about it and always has,

you know to burst into song you have to be inspired

and nothing inspires quite like love.



These groups and singers think that they appeal to everyone

by singing about love because apparently everyone has or can love

or so they would have you believe anyway

but these groups seem to go along with what, the belief

that love is deep in everyone's personality.

I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love,

we just don't think that what goes on between two people

should be shrouded with mystery."



Love'll get you like a case of anthrax

And that's something I don't want to catch

Love'll get you like a case of anthrax

And that's something I don't want to catch
