In Darkness There is No Choice - LP (1983)
Lyrics:

Poor little Jimmy, it's first day at school
He doesn't know the answer so he's told he's the fool
"Stand by the corner you stupid little boy,
Our question must be answered or we'll take away your toys."
Teacher's got his views on the way you've got to be
(You may have your own opinion as long as you don't disagree with me)
Teacher knows what's best, remember teacher's always right
The teacher is this system and this system rules your life
Defiant little fucker he won't wear the uniform
So headmaster gets the cane out to ensure that he conforms
Everybody else must wear the shirt and tie they say
If you insist on being different, we'll have you taken away
Poor little Jimmy they've forced him to obey
He doesn't like school so he's absent for a day
One day grows to two days and then it's for a week
Teacher contacts Mummy. She says, "I've given him all I can"
All Jimmy wants is freedom but she doesn't understand
All her life she was told that if she didn't tow the line
She would end up just like Daddy and Daddy is doing time
Meanwhile little Jimmy's confused he's in despair
Mummy says she loves him as he's taken into care
She can't hold back the tears as she waves her son goodbye
Poor Jimmy's disillusioned, and he too breaks down and cries
Poor little Jimmy. They've forced him to obey
He wouldn't wear the uniform so they've had him locked away
Teacher knows what's best for you, teachers always right
Teacher is this system and this system rules your life.

Antisect were an English metal/thrash band, with a background in punk and strong involvement with the anarcho-punk movement. The tag 'crust is also often applied to them, but they never called themselves this and the genre did not exist during their time. They also constantly stated that they were not limited to either the category of punk, although that was a strong part of their background, or of anarcho-punk, although they were very involved with the bands and people involved in the scene that was called that by many, and they tended to state that they were a metal band with a message of freedom and peace. They were active mainly in the first half of the 1980s. They are notable for bringing together elements of punk and heavy metal and being central in the crossover of those genres in the UK, with influences beyond their own country and 'scene', and this is why they are in hindsight seen as a seminal influence in what is known as the 'crust' movement, along with bands such as the Amebix.

Originating in Daventry, Northamptonshire, in central England, they were later based for some time in Northampton and then around the East Ham area of London. The band were among the instigators of the squat venue scene in the mid to late 1980's before finally splitting in 1987.

Their name apparently comes from locals in Daventry who called them the 'anti-sect', presumably meaning 'that bunch of weirdos that are anti-everything', but the name was attractive in both being a statement of 'yeah, we're against some things and we're non-conformists, so what?' and in its ambiguity, being both perhaps 'the sect that are anti-everything' and 'the people who are against sects'.
