(repeats)
(with intro riff)
Inflammable material is planted in my head
It's a suspect device that's left 2000 dead

Verse 1

Their solutions are our problems
They put up the wall
On each side time and prime us
And make sure we get fuck[*] all     
They play their games of power
They cut and mark the pack
They deal us to the bottom
But what do they put back?     

Chorus

Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss,
Suss suspect device

Verse 2

They take away our freedom
In the name of liberty
Why can't they all just clear off?
Why can't they let us be?     
They make us feel indebted
For saving us from hell
And then they put us through it
It's time the bastards fell     

Chorus

Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss,
Suss suspect device
A G E A G E x2
 
Don't believe them
Don't believe them
(I tell you) Question everything you're told

Verse 3

Just take a look around you
At the bitterness and spite
Why can't we take over
And try to put it right?     

Chorus

Don't believe us
Don't believe us
Don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss, suss,
Suss suspect device
[Outro] (with intro riff)
We're a suspect device if we do what we are told
But a suspect device can score an own goal
I'm a suspect device the Army can't defuse
You're a suspect device they know they can't refuse
We're gonna blow up in their face
[*] the publicly released version says '...sod all' here.
