1.	Starving In The UK 03:17	lyrics	buy track
A nation of starving people staring at their television, The broadcast is saying "they're taking and not giving" "130,000 survive on food banks", The public are conditioned to draw and empty blank Benefits stopped and new taxes take hold Evicted and hungry locked out in the cold "Don't care about no scroungers about to die" ...they never bother to think how things could be... CHORUS Starving in the UK... I can't afford to eat today, Living on less than a pound a day UK third world country... Human beings a statistic just a piece of meat, Media control of the way people think Take what they tell you in, take a nice seat, While hungry mouths search though bins to feed. Vampiric politicians live a life of greed Of unimaginable theft and corruption I see Been let down a system, that is wrong, The situation is becoming a ticking time bomb...
2.	Northern Wasteland 02:45	lyrics	buy track
No land of milk and honey They laugh as we bleed The politicians choke us Worthless northern debris No hope is left found In the land of coke and Tory Fuck all outside London They don't care for us We are the damned! Northern wasteland We are the damned! Northern wasteland A regime that hate the north 2nd coming come to finish us off Starve the helpless and poor Bodies swept behind closed doors Freezing cold in our houses Northern anger about to erupt We will against them They will not break me! We are the damned! Northern wasteland We are the damned! Northern wasteland
3.	Fascist Disease 01:40	lyrics	buy track
Overflowing hate in their tiny minds To dumb to accept people living different lives Anger against sexuality and race The bigots attack if they don't like your face Fascist views I can't try to understand Prejudice view creep from backwater towns Deformed and unsightly inside and out Crawl in dirty shadows all over this land CHORUS This ain't rocket science It's your basic ABC Yet we are still fighting the fascist disease Stand against oppression, fascist ideology Diagnosis positive the sickness revealed Sneaking around under Pseudonyms Secret meetings push their agendas aims Why do they hide they must know its wrong The signs are there they will be found When hearing thse ideas we must stand against No platform for hate, no sitting on the fence Time to stop it now before it's to late A cure for the infection no time to wait
4.	Panic 02:40	lyrics	buy track
(You are listening to Mike Saphire's commercial rebellion hour on 66.6 F.M. PURE PUNK ROCK! PUNK ROCK!) CHORUS Panic at the party, panic at the show The band keeps on playing but i feel so alone Panic at the disco, panic at the show Anxiety taking over, I wanna go home I think I'm going crazy living in these suburbs, woah! I think I'm losing my mind, I'm mentally disturbed This time I feel alive and must apologise I feel fucked up inside I hate this place and all of these people I hate most of my friends My visions getting hazy, I'm sick and full of lager Because times are getting harder I've had to much to think, now my heads in the sink
5.	Peaceful Protest 02:34	lyrics	buy track
No you can't protest on this day No you can't march that way No you can't leave the area Don't hide your face Yes you will give your details Yes you will be on file Get in this kettle Don't leave the line Oh my fucking god, what has this become? Peaceful protest is not enough! Oh my fucking god, what has this become? Peaceful protest is not enough! We are the hurt, we are the scarred Trying to be heard, trying to get out From this tyrants control, We'll keep fighting on! Out on the streets! Against all that's wrong!
6.	LOL 02:59	lyrics	buy track
It's raining outside, there's a hole in my boots, Haven't got any money, to buy any food I'm feeling so alone, but I can't turn the computer off I wanna get out but I'm addicted to the idiot box Trying to direction, stuck on a crowded commuter train I'm sitting on a wet seat on the bus its pissing down with rain Got a 2nd hand mattress with a piss stain down the back Tried to scrub it off but it just made me gag I'm freezing cold and staving there is holes in the walls of my flat I thought i had squirils in my garden, but they just turned out to be rats CHORUS Ha ha ha ha, ho ho ho ho, he he he he, laugh out loud! Ha ha ha ha, ho ho ho ho, he he he he, laugh out loud! Been to the doctor, somethings wrong with my head I'll take my perscription and try and face the day Bouncing round my room, walls close in on me Men in nice white coats, knocking at my door Come to take me away, for labotomy and more Stuck in a room, on suicide watch Mental analysis, to decide what I got They say I'm not to worry, they're gonna cheer me up They've brought me a screen to sit here and watch 100 channels and reality TV...
7.	The Re-Enactor 04:12	lyrics	buy track
Feverish dreams flow over me, A repetative nightmare, can't you see? Stuck in a sickness loop forever Cannot shake these chemical dreams Repition on the edge of a knife Over and over for the rest of your life Fuck all that's different don't accept the new Keep repeating forever the things that you do Negative mind loop in my brain Trying to hold to a distant time We came to distroy the past Rebuilding from the wreakage vessel We will see what we find Freedom of expression in the mind The museum is dead, take a new art stance Create a new art riot NOW! The scene has become a battle re-enactment It's an echo to the anger that we represent Is the music industry your best friend? Or do you see a very different end? The message from those who have no voice Freedom is given to the uncontaminated life Above fashionistic image and noise Break the chains bring on better times Live experimentation not immitation We need new ways to demonstation We are the scavengers of technology There's no time to make no apology Shout our message loud! No mediocrity we want change now Evolution anarchists create a new way Condemed to search for better days
8.	Kali Channa Masala 02:21	lyrics	buy track
Tumeric Cumin Coriander Chilli Powder Sun Flower Oil Asfotida Salt Chick Peas And Lemon Juice, Here's a recipe for you to use Combine the spice powders with 4 table spoons of water in a bowl Get some incense lit, yeah we're are ready to go! Heat the oil and add asfotida, in a pan. Pour yourself another drink, now follow the plan! CHORUS Kali Channa Masala Cheap vegan food for you In honour of the mother goddess Feasts for the dispossessed Enjoy the Indian flavour, Simple food is going to save you Concious meals with spiritual vision Food for your radical mission Turn down the heat, now, put in the spice liquid Sizzle for one minute, and, add the salt and chick peas Add 150ml of hot water, and bring to the boil Crush the peas with a spoon, to thicken the sauce...
9.	Curiousor and Curiouser 02:10	lyrics	buy track
I watch the sky, through the digital screen Limp body hung, in a sepia scene Under the machine, thick oily breeze Sea green light, suffocates my mind Cold horror razor blade, slices my eyes Twisted tea party, a false dream Masks creeping thoughts, of the world I've seen...
10.	Acid Burn Alice 02:48	lyrics	buy track
Gazing at eternity, the only one who counts is me Beneath the darkerning twilight sky Torn apart artifical life Every night, minute and second I am blind to controlling wreckage Mental torture from unreal minds Take the innocence that is mine Extinguish light, in existance Control the thoughts inside my head Your demands unreal expectations Living life manufactured isolation Gas light producedure, I question myself Calculated destruction of my mental health Abuse and anger from your frustrations Are your faults all of my making? Wired electrodes beneath my skin Acid burn throbs with pain An empty vessel I played my part With aching limbs calculate the cost The comfort of being halfway human The scars map out where I've moving Cold metal plugged in dependance Distorted love don't know how to break free
11.	Promazine 03:17	lyrics	buy track
I've took the cosh, The chemical cosh, Blacked out on dreams of promazine, The lights are on, but there's no one home I'm sitting here all alone, Spittle hangs from my open mouth Dripping down my chin A can of beer has dropped from my hand soaking through my jeans I'm an insane lunatic My doctor thinks I'm ill For the saftey of myself She provides me with these pills When we are forced to live so unnaturally, Its no wonder there are so many casulties Instead of trying to change what is so wrong They fill you up with pills and say "run along", Dealing with the symptoms but never the cause, The cattle are ill we can't milk them no more Maybe the only sanity is the insane, I'm sick and tired of being told there is something wrong with my brain My brain, My brain, My brain, my brain You say there's something wrong my brain My brain, My brain, My brain, my brain You say there's something wrong my brain
12.	Beauty 02:06	lyrics	buy track
Beneath the surface see my jaded eyes Beneath the gloss what they trying to hide? Offal and filth, up where you eat See the rats clamour beneath your feet Ever seen beauty while you were drinking? Does the thin veneer, change the way your thinking? Chorus Beauty! Beauty! Sanatised! Beauty! Beauty! Beauty! Sanatised! Beauty! Beauty! Beauty! Sanatised! Beauty! Beauty! Beauty! Sanatised! Beauty! Synthesised products, synthesised minds Air brushed people living air brushed lives My worst nightmare is your vary favourite bar Underneath the plastic do you know who you are? Homogenised air suffocates my breathing Under decaying archways I found more feeling...
13.	Wish 03:37	lyrics	buy track
(Good evening anarchists everywhere) The queen is dead And the government have a price on their head England is turning inside out All the people scream and all the people shout As they watch shaking with fear Now they know that death is near [Chorus:] And how I wish you were here No survivors ever found Now I wish you were here No survivors ever found How does it feel being abused By politicians living by their own rules And what are you going to do when the sirens call While they’re launching their atomic bombs Blind and ignorant you said nothing at all The vultures are all out of business No the children eat the dead Cities fall Manchester is burning up darkening skies And what would you do and how would you like all these tragic scenes? But you’re not here you’re not fucking here you’re not here you’re not fucking here you’re not here you’re not fucking here you’re not here are you?
14.	Makeup 01:28	lyrics	buy track
Red and green and its so fake, You’re feeling so sick and tired today You’re actions prove that you are real You’re aesthetic worn like the way you feel [Chorus:] Girl sitting alone with make up on Doesn’t even know whats going wrong See your reflection up in the glass Self disgust and sinking fast sinking fast! sinking fast! sinking fast! Through thick black eyeliner she saw another Over this suburban wasteland they stared at each other Downing straight vodka getting wasted Wearing masks of heroes, lipstick traces.
15.	Love Yourself 01:39	lyrics	buy track
Abort your niceness What’s your crisis Don’t try and fight us We’re in your society Your capitalist industries Take our individuality Our downtrodden anarchy For-fills our poetic fantasy [Chorus:] YOU BELIEVE IN AUTHORITY I BELIEVE IN MYSELF BE YOURSELF, JUDGE YOURSELF LOVE YOURSELF LOVE YOURSELF Hypnotizing stares pierce into insubordination Needing some escapism and intoxication People watching all around Abortion and Distortion More poverty and misfortune Love the night, wear it well Forget everything…

about

Black Light Mutants are back! Bringing with us our own unique brand of experimental noise, analogue vs digital mash ups and outspoken meaningful message. We present to you our 15 track debut album Acid Burn Alice and The Master Control Program.

Released on May Day 2014 the album is a DIY independent release, its been written, recorded and produced completely by ourselves in Rusholme and mutant birthplace Ashton-Under-Lyne in early 2014. Created by 3 original members who formed the band in 2011, we decided to get back together to try capture the energy, art, drive, experimentation and creativity that the mutants have always been about. As usual we have used our love of punk as a base blank canvas to paint our hybrid creations onto using scavenged technology and brand new ideas to push the sounds and message into different directions.

Acid Burn Alice features 10 challenging original new tracks transcending multiple genres and sounds, delving into such things as food poverty, media propaganda, protesting, anti-fascism, domestic violence, deep personal matters that have affected us and even a bit of radical spiritual cooking. It also features 5 new versions of old favourites that have been re-imagined by us from the past EP releases.

The album title and CD artwork has been created in true mutant style by Joey Mutant and is all based around our Acid Burn Alice character who first appeared on our Trash Town EP. The title track and its interlude is a prequel to the original Alice song looking at how she ended up in Trash Town and losing her mind after being hidden, trapped and trying to cope with extreme abuse and torture at the hands of a relentlessly evil artificial intelligence and oppressive machine.

To fit with our anarchist ethos we would like as many people that want to have a copy of this to get it from us, so we have decided to release this 100% free / pay what you want for a digital download and as cheap as we possibly can for the physical CD and artwork. The digital version also features extra unique artwork for some individual tracks capturing the feel for each song.

We hope that everyone who experiences this release will enjoy it for themselves as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
