Maggot Death (Live At Brighton) Lyrics

You're a load of fucking wankers. If you've got something to say, why don't you say it instead of just standing there? But no, you're a load of fucking wankers, you've got nothing to say, the lot of you! You're just idiots you know, you're just so bloody ignorant it's unbelievable. Come on, come on, any one of you, if you think you know what the christ you're talking about...but no, you're just a load of fucking wankers, you really are. So you've had the pleasure of hearing Throbbing Gristle. Now, do you want to know what it's about? Are you interested, are you interested? You're all interested? 'Cos there's more to it than that. It's not just pogos and nazis, there's more to it. I'll just put Genesis on then...

We're not going to play anymore because we don't want to. Because everything you know is somebody else's knowledge, nobody's got any free minds, original fucking thought. If you've ever listened to rhythm and blues, rock and roll, 12 bar, learned the notes, you can't very well...how far are you gonna get? And if I've got the chance to shoot you in the guts, I'll do it.

Cover art for Maggot Death (Live At Brighton) lyrics by Throbbing Gristle

This is the last song from Second Annual Report, also occasionally known as A Load Of Fucking Wankers. This is the full version instead of the original 50 seconds, where the DJ yells at the audience for treating TG's strange music with such abhorrence, almost starting a riot before Gen tries to explain himself, which he does quite adequately in classic Gen style.
