Lyrics and translation Crass - You've Got Big Hands

You've Got Big Hands

Out of the chaos we divide,
Fucked up, muddled up, looking for a side.
Stay on the outside, don't go in,
Don't think that you can do it, if you sell out they win.
It's not like that the changes are made,
Give in to them, your chances are delayed.
You'll feed with your energies the things that you hate,
Diluting your strength each time they say yes.

Their hands are big, they've got big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
You're talking with sounds they don't understand,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
They've got big mouths to shout demands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
They'll let you past a couple of times,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
You think you're getting somewhere; you're fucking blind,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
This structures stretches, it'll bend but not break,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.
This system channels any threat that you make,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.

It will do anything to accommodate,
Accommodate you and your liberal ideas.
You're the child in their garden,
The dog on their lead,
Their token to changes that are never made.
Can't you see that for centuries it's been the same,
Plenty like you have been seduced to the game.
The chain's still as tight, won't let in the light,
Can you tell me what's different?
What choice you've made?
Can you tell me the difference?
Whose hopes you will feed?
Will you feed their arses,
Will you feed their hands?
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands,
Big hands, big hands, big hands, big hands.

Tu as de grandes mains

Du chaos, nous nous divisons,
Défoncés, embrouillés, à la recherche d’un camp.
Reste à l’extérieur, n’entre pas,
Ne pense pas pouvoir le faire, si tu vends ton âme, ils gagnent.
Ce n’est pas comme ça que les changements se font,
Laisse-toi aller, tes chances seront retardées.
Tu nourriras de ton énergie les choses que tu détestes,
Diluer ton force à chaque fois qu’ils disent oui.

Ils ont de grandes mains, ils ont de grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.
Tu parles avec des sons qu’ils ne comprennent pas,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.
Ils ont de grandes gueules pour crier leurs demandes,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.
Ils te laisseront passer quelques fois,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.
Tu penses que tu avances, tu es aveugle,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.
Cette structure s’étend, elle se pliera mais ne cassera pas,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.
Ce système canalise toute menace que tu poses,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.

Elle fera tout pour accommoder,
T’accommoder, toi et tes idées libérales.
Tu es l’enfant dans leur jardin,
Le chien à leur laisse,
Leur symbole des changements qui ne sont jamais faits.
Tu ne vois pas que c’est la même chose depuis des siècles,
Beaucoup comme toi ont été séduits par le jeu.
La chaîne est toujours aussi serrée, ne laisse pas entrer la lumière,
Peux-tu me dire ce qui est différent?
Quel choix tu as fait?
Peux-tu me dire la différence?
A qui tu nourris les espoirs?
Nourriras-tu leur derrière,
Nourriras-tu leurs mains?
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains,
Grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains, grandes mains.
