Take a walk on the why side,
a fast ride, through anarchistic eyes
Take a look at the real world,
the wheels turn, on sugar-coated lies
Reality is a fist fuck,
a kiss first, a rat infested ride
Last laugh on the last lap,
who laughs last, before the well runs dry

Take a look at the real world
Take a look at the real world

Waking up to the rat race,
the fast pace, consumer friendly smiles
Everything at the right price,
for each vice, 1-800 DIAL
Serving only to please you,
appease you, remedy the void
Obsessed with the obscene,
enough green, whatever gets you high

Take a look at the real world
Take a look at the real world

Fight the norm, fuck the rules
Feed the brain, fight the fools
Burn the book, ban the bomb
Fight the right, right the wrong
All the sticks, all the stones
All the clowns, all the clones
All the blood, all the bones,
Food for your brain

I pledge allegiance to no flag,
a blood rag, on every body bag
I'm not wearing a price tag,
a toe tag, for anybody's rag
I bow down to no man,
no bigger plan, no predetermined programme
Mine is my own load,
my own road, my way is what I am

Take a look at the real world
Take a look at the real world

Fight the norm, fuck the rules
Feed the brain, fight the fools
Burn the book, ban the bomb
Fight the fight, right the wrong
All the sticks, all the stones
All the clowns, all the clones
All the blood, all the bones,
Food for your brain

Fight the norm, fuck the rules
Feed the brain, fight the fools
Burn the book, ban the bomb
Fight the fight, right the wrong
All the sticks, all the stones
All the clowns, all the clones
All the blood, all the bones,
Food for your brain

Fight the norm!
Fuck the rules!
Feed the brain!
Fight the fools!
Burn the book!
Ban the bomb!
Fight the fight!
Right the wrong!

    General Comment:Yap is saying he will not back down or bow out in any way to the materialistic and corrupt values of this world we live in.... instead he will go his own way and live by his rules.

    'I pledge allegiance to no flag,
    a blood rag, on every body bag
    I'm not wearing a price tag,
    a toe tag, for anybody's rag
    I bow down to no man,
    no bigger plan, no predetermined programme
    Mine is my own load,
    my own road, my way is what I am'

    This song should be a guideline to all free-thinkers of this world, to live our own lives and not have other dictate to us how we should live. We should stand against the oppressive admonitions of our respective discriminative govermental powers, and not allow them to tear our own human values away from us for their own use.

    As Yap has said, 'Take a look at the real world'. The real world is not what the news feeds you, not what you see on TV or read about in the tabloid. Those medias hide the real truth. Be active and find out for yourself about what is really happening.

    General Comment:this song is basically saying, take a step back out of the capaitlist conformatist way of of life and take a look at what the world is really like. "take a walk on the why side, a fast ride, through these anarchistic eyes....take a look at the real world.simply most people have the view of the world they are given by the government, but yap wants them to see the problems with the world as well, ie take a look through these anarchistic eyes. h has a clear picture of the world, having been brought up in a capatilist, christian familly, he saw how capatilism screwwed his and many other families so turned against it.
