about

A classic Rilen/Lucas track. Ian Rilen came up with the bass riff and Steve Lucas came up with the lyrics.
Add Steve Cafiero's thumping tribal drum tack and you have an iconic slice of pure punk rock.

lyrics

It's really very simple, not that hard to d,.
try and use the people that are trying to use you.
Compromise your politics is all you'll ever need,
if you're gonna suck suck suck suck suck suck suck succeed

It's everywhere and anywhere what you're prepared to do.
Stuff the guts of business men so they can shit on you.
It's really very civil and not hard to believe.
if you're gonna suck suck suck suck suck suck suck succeed

Cut your hair wash you face, keep your image clean.
Try and be well spoken when they ask you where you've been.
It's really very simple and all you'll ever need
if you're gonna suck suck suck suck suck suck suck succeed
