This is the sound of a dropping bomb
After years are we still all content
With being pawns in war game chess?
Shuffled by King George and his English Queen
On a board of autocracy
As fundamentalist citing stories and fables
Of whose god is more righteously skilled
In whose gods' honor that we are all killed...
A dead ringer for Armageddon
Dead ringer dead!
A dead ringer for Armageddon, yeah
Dead ringer dead!
A dead ringer for Armageddon
Dead ringer dead!
This State Funeral, we do not mourn
And still the wicked sleep
And dream of endless years of tyranny
Passed on by incestuous means
Skull and Bone, Freemason reigns
A dead ringer for Armageddon
Dead ringer dead!
A dead ringer for Armageddon, yeah
Dead ringer dead!
A dead ringer for Armageddon
Dead ringer dead!
This State Funeral, we do not mourn
Destroy all adversary - free yourself
Erase the common enemy - free yourself
Extinguishing the quarry - free yourself
The {Downing Street} memo says...
...We gotta work to make the facts fit the false charges
Pull the wool over the eyes of the filthy masses
Stab the people in the back for the corporate choice
Roll the propaganda out using The People's Voice
We don't want to talk about it...
The press scribble scribble every half-truth spoke
Then shoot it round the country like an April Fools joke
Hype the nation for a Desert Storm love affair
Wave the stars and stripes like you just don't care!
They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
And on the TV screen...
...Diversion and aversion is the flavor of the day
Was it WMDs? Or Democracy?
Blame it on MI-6 or the CIA
The White House Press Corpse only has one thing to say...
"We don't want to talk about it!"
The White House boils over, "Al Jazeera got it wrong!"
The Press Corpse jumps onboard singing the White House song
While over in Iraq thousands are dead because of lies
The spineless war drumming-press corpse have taken lives
They talk it up all day, they talk it up all night
They talk until their face turns blue - Red white and blue!
But when the truth escapes the night and crawls into the day
We find the picture still askew
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and mindlessly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
Fires fueled on endless lies
Black shrouds coat desert skies
A nation's viewpoint blurred and led
As embeds report what they're fed
We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...
We don't want to talk about it...
(We don't want to talk about it...)
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk about it
(We don't want to...)
We don't, don't want to, we don't wanna talk
They don't want to... talk talk talk talk talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Wave the flag and cowardly salute
They don't want to talk about it
They wanna tiptoe, walk around it
Your invasion was a crime
Your righteous explanations - lies
Kicking in our doors, raids at night
Won't win you hearts, you've lost your minds.
Your killing of my family
Did not make a fan out of me
If this is what your freedom reaps
Keep it for your United States.
I'd tell you all these things but I can't speak because...
I'm dead, I'm dead
my life is life no more
I'm dead, I'm dead
your bullets cut into my flesh
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
I love to read, write poetry
I love my friends, my family
I love the sand and love the sea
The water splashing over me
Now I will haunt you in your dreams
Never another restful sleep
I'll forever be by your side.
In life you're victim, death your bride.
My memory will haunt you when you're awake or asleep because...
I'm dead, I'm dead
my life is life no more
I'm dead, I'm dead
your bullets cut into my flesh
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh
Your cluster bombs ripped me to shreds
"Depleted Uranium is used on the ends of bullets
and on the ends of shells because it is so hard {that}
almost any armament is vulnerable to something that is tipped with Depleted Uranium."
Woahhh!
In the cities and towns of Afghanistan
In the heart of the Balkans - the heart of Iraq
Not your Grandfather's style of deadly munitions
It's silent and deadly long after the mission
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Gonna cut through their armor, then cut through your lungs
If you make it home alive you'll still die young
A greedy gang of liars, yeah we've seen it all before
A moneymaking scheme led by war-profiteering whores
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
"They were throwing it away until they figured out they could use it for armament."
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste a...
We've heard their lies before and we know they're lying again
Feels like a dcj vu of Agent Orange and Vietnam
Weaponry so sadistic it is hard to comprehend
War profits surge with every breath by Uncle Sam
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
"We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq,
and a woman was there with a very deformed child and
her husband had been in the Iraqi Army and had been
in the battles in Southern Iraq and
came home and they produced a baby with very severe
malformations... Both the Leukemia rates in children and
malformations at birth had increased by 600%
and it was clearly an epidemic where all this
DU had been dumped... It becomes a dust that can be
inhaled and infect the blood stream and the rest
of the body and it was the opinion of the
doctors there that this was caused by depleted uranium...
They simply saw this as being a direct result of the
war by United States."
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
"The doctor said,
'Women {in Iraq} at the time of birth don't ask if
it's a boy or a girl, they ask: Is it normal?'
...The military denies first, and then after the evidence
builds to the point where they can no longer deny,
then they do the research. That's what happened in the
Vietnam era around Agent Orange and I suspect and
Woah oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah oh
I woke up sweat soaked in the morning
I was mourning freedom buried deep.
Mourning freedom buried deep.
In tickers and broadcasts through power lines.
Freedom buried in sound bites, buried in headlines
And we sing
Woah oh Woah oh
Woah oh Woah oh
A nation in fervor has given up.
No, no, no, this fight has just begun.
With movements and revolutions as few and far between.
As movements and revolutions will ever come to be
This scare is blood soaked red - soaked red
Marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city
Woah oh Woah oh
Watch it burn!
Woah oh Woah oh
Alright!
It's beaten in and beaten in.
We're coming back around again.
It's beaten in and beaten in.
We're coming back around again
This scare is blood soaked red - soaked red
Marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city
Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now.
Fall and hit the ground
No one can ever replace what we've lost now, yeah!
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
We're coming back around
Woah oh Woah oh
You can spoon my eyes out,
but I can still see through you
Slice my ears from my head,
but you can not shut out the sounds of truth
Lock off each sound at the wrist
so I can't raise my fist!
you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion
Sawed my feet at the ankles, but i wasnt going to run
Grabbed my face, sliced off my tongue
Lock off each hand at the wrist,
so I can't raise my fist!
you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion
BREAKOUT!
So we breakout!
I'm a post-war breakout (War breakout!)
And a post-war breakdown (Breakdown! Breakdown!)
I'm a post-war syndrome (War syndrome!)
And a post-war hero (Yeah, yeah, yeah :/ )
Just a post-war nerve case
In a pro-war age
And a post-war history face.
I've got a medal, I'm a hero (BREAKOUT!)
I've got an ID, I've got an ego (BREAKDOWN!)
I've got pocketbook, no dough (NO DOLLARS, NO!)
Just a post-war shockjob!
I'm an evil-minded breakdown
I'm a vulgar, thinking crackdown
I'm a NON-COMMIE DRIFTER
I'm an ex-GI for sure, oh sure
Just a post-war nerve case, in a pro-war age
And a post-war history face..let's face our history..NOW!!
I've got a medal, I'm a hero (BREAKOUT!)
I've got an ID, I've got an ego (BREAKDOWN!)
I've got pocketbook, no dough (NO DOLLARS, NO!)
Just a post-war shockjob!
Just a post-war shockjob!
Just a post-war shockjob!
Just a post-war shockjob!
Post-war breakout!
BREAKOUT!
Sons and daughters of a dream
The urge to struggle for an ideal
To stay and fight
Oppose war fever
Refuse to kill or be killed
There's voices calling in the wind
Power to the Peaceful
Power to the peaceful
Whoa-oh!
Let's Go!
Oh yeah!
Alright!
With a readiness for war
They come down hard in dissent of all forms
Blood and militarism has swept the country by storm
There's voices calling in the wind
Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!
Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!
This is not a war
of the urging people
This is not a war
of economic independance
It's a war for conquest
It's a war for military power
It's a war for money
The road to universal slaughter
Sons and daughters of a dream
The urge to struggle for an ideal
To stay and fight
Oppose war fever
Refuse to kill or be killed
There's voices calling in the wind
Power to the Peaceful
You know it's Power to the Peaceful
Alright, check this out
There's repression and intolerance
On any deviation from the norm
In all factions of your life
At this time of entry
Into war say Hey-Hey
Do you know what they sing. Say Hey! - Hey!
Yeah you know what they sing. Say Hey! - Hey!
Do you know what they sing? Say Hey! - Hey! - Hey!
Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!
Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!
Alright!
Whoa-oh! Whoa-oh! Whoa-oh!
Arm in Arm - Fists held high
"set them free" - our battle cry
Take back the streets
And our right to free speech
Locked up and put away
For fear of what they'll say
Crooked cops plus crooked judges, don't equal justice
Free all political prisoners
Racist cops plus racist judges, don't equal justice
Free all political prisoners
Brick by brick - wall by wall
Wont sit back - let our brothers and sisters fall
The unjust justice system
Our voice will overthrow

No justice, No peace, No racist police
Brainwashing
Piece of Rag
Take it off mast, and stick it up your ass
Now it's time to slaughter
In its fucking honor
What a bunch of fucking shit!
Fuck the flag and fuck you!
Fuck the flag and fuck you!
Fuck the flag and fuck you!
Fuck the flag, the fucking flag, fuck the flag!
Fuck the flag and fuck you!
Heres a flag
Take this match
Burn, that, fucker!
Fuck the flag and fuck you!
Fuck the flag and fuck you!
Fuck the flag and fuck you!
FUCK THE FLAG AND FUCK YOU
When all you need was a little motivation
They pointed fingers and yelled dead generation
When all you need was a little care
You get nothing but an old white hair bland stare
Have you ever needed an ounce of love
And all you got was a whole lot of fucked
So say your prayers
It's the death of a nation
Say your prayers
For the dead generation
Condescending broad generalizations
Get real old real fast
Just because most hippies and their parents have sold out
Does not mean that you, your children and their kids won't last...
So say your prayers
It's the death of a nation
Say your prayers
For the dead generation
Agressivness is godliness
Combativness is holiness
Destructiveness is faithfullness
Deadliness is devoutness
Praying to a god that they created
And know damn well does not exist...
I heard a man on the radio saying, "we're facing an economic hell"
It creates a vision in my head of ten thousand kids sent off to kill
Theres always a voice that says, "you've got a choice"
But a choice between shit is still shit!!
Resistance, Resistance
I won't be used
By a fascist corporation, a rightwing politician,
I'm not a slave, not a tool, fuck you!
I've got an idea in my head and I know it is nothing new
But it seems to me a better plan than being used, and being screwed
Think your safe to spread your hate from behind your iron gate's
Your walls will never be strong enough to keep us down
Sometimes there is not a choice, like when your backs against the wall
So it's better to make a move, before they've set you up to fall
SO YOU... so you better organize
SO YOU... so you better open eyes
SO YOU... so you better sound out loud the call
Before you find your back is up against the wall
i want to tell a little story 'bout a party that went all right, but went all wrong
i want to tell a little story 'bout a party in this song...
it happened back in '93, in the pittsburgh punk rock scene
an event that will go down, in infamy
it was all the master plan, of one legendary punk rock kid
his name was "spaz", s-p-a-z...
an eviction notice sent to his house sparked off an idea,
"i think i'll have one more party at my place..."
so off he set with his master plan, the invitations in his hand read,
and this was just the first night, of a three-day long party
[Chorus:]
spaz's house destruction party, it was chaos with no end
if you were crazy enough to make the house destruction party
then you know you're lucky that you lived
we played there st. patrick's day, with submachine and the bad genes
in a basement full of debris
from kicked in doors, broken glass, kicked in walls the place was trashed
the house was now missing its support beams
the bathrooms had no toilets or sinks left in them
there was nothing in the kitchen left to break
aus rotten spray painted on walls, drunk punks passed out in the halls
and this was just the second night, of a three-day long party
[Chorus]
the cops showed up and all the kids went piling out the back
i remember running away and hiding out in the lot behind the squirrel hill mellon bank
the cop said, "i want to speak to someone who lives here!" and this punk kid said she did
he asked, "is this the condition this house has always been in?" she answered,
"ah... fucking right pig"
[Chorus]
Thrown out by her family
In the midst of anger
Mom and dad can't make sense
Of her sexual preference
It seems the cars
Just drive by on this night
No one has any idea
What this feels like
You wave your flag
Tell me I'm free
Then use the word fag
To fuck with me
Judged by parents and the public
The Fingers pointed at them
Well I'll point mine right back
They Must Realize
You can't change whom you love
And gender is not the issue
That night she said, "I will be true"
Meant every word she said to you
It seems today, to be yourself
Takes so much courage and strength
If you were half the human, as people who "come out"
This world would be a better place
You wave your flag
Tell me I'm free
Then use the word fag
To fuck with me
Go and wave your flag
A psychic said to me - (WHAT DID SHE SAY?)
She said, "You know I gotta a very special feeling,
That truth and freedom will break out today!"
(BREAK DOWN THE WALLS TODAY!)
"Cause there's a message in the cards- it reads:
Today's the day to break the fuckin' mold!
SMASH IT TO PIECES,
while singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4..."
Paper to pen; yeah smash it all to pieces
Become a vehicle that blossoms thruth and freedom
Every city, every street, every town-
new pulse; heartbeat!
A vision came to me - (IN A DREAM?)
Not in a dream while sitting at the subway station
Waiting for the train to take me away
(FROM THIS WRETCHED DARK PLACE!)
It might have been an angel or a ghost -
I don't know?
But its message came through
shining crystal clear:
"SMASH IT TO PIECES,
while singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4..."
There's not a name you can assign it
More than a movement
it's the fabric that makes up a human being
There's nothing stupid but love,
caring, peace instead of guns
So now we've got to
take to that message to the streets!
Through our art, through our hard work,
I got a song stuck in my head
Walking down street number nine
I sing it out loud with my friends
And we're all having a good time
We all waited for weeks
Now we're hanging on the street in NYC
We gotta go to the show
Even though we're all underage
Outside the firehall in PA
It rained on three hundred kids all day
When the cops shut it down no one went away
We're Gonna Play No Matter What They Say
Three or four people showed up in Albuquerque
The alternator died
Somewhere between Mankato and Rapid City
Strangers in some strange lands in L.A.
The enchiladas made us sick but that's ok
Growing Up
We didn't want to be like them
It was tough to know
Who were our friends
Killing time playing basements
Way back when
In a lot of ways nothings changed
From now and them
Some say they have been let down
I wonder why they still hang around
I wonder where all these good things could be
Then I realize that somehow I found them in me
The world keeps turning and I keep fighting
'cause what else are you to do?
When there's a fascist telling you,
"It's time you were put in your place!"
As he salutes the Stars and Stripes
By raising fists and starting fights,
Like an aberration from Hitler's Nazi Riech
NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I'm fucking proud of who I am!
National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Everyone keeps asking,
"Why's he so pissed and so angry?"
When there's killing in this world,
of men and womyn, boys and girls
For the sake of a dividend gain
These actions proclaimed in our name,
turn Stars and Stripes to shades of shame
"Gifts from America: With Love, The U.S.A"
NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I'm fucking proud of who I am... I AM HUMAN!
National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?
This country's flag flies as a corporate symbol
This country's flag strikes hearts with fear-COLD FEAR!
This country's flag represents oil interests
The president wages an endless war so he can,
Justify stealing fucking billions
Steal the public's rights through the use of fear, use of fear...
That is a system I can not endorse
National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?
Look for the truth you'll see...
MADISON AND JEFFERSON
You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse
Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
I was in Chico, California,
Talking to a foreinger,
when a facist threatened me
He hoped to threaten-to harass
cause although he could kick my ass-he knew
He could never kill what I believe
The best of the best, the best in the world - THE USA!
Sinking - no drowning in a sea of excess gluttony
As the rest of the world does struggle
to keep up the pace
It seems America got it right by doing...
THE REST OF THE WORLD WRONG!
Zero knowledge of understanding,
of U.S. governemntal actions, in the states of overseas
Mystified history, Quotes spewed from corporate media waves-
Turns the public into a herd of sheep
"Equal Rights". "Justice". "Democratic Role".
"Freedom". "Equality".
All just a total, "FUCK YOU!"
Empty words in the president slurs, in every speech
While scheming behind closed doors, with the C.I.A.
To undermine DEMOCRACY!
To undermine AUTONOMY!
To undermine the stability of any leftist populus regime

Get ready to - make a stand
Get ready to - make a move
Because if - we don't- fuckin' do it - then no one's going to!
Have you seen the scene on the street?
Do you care what's - going on?
Thousands – homeless - in the land of the free but no one seems to think it's wrong!
That’s why we fuckin' wrote this song
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We’re not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We're not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
This ship is sinking - it's time we set it right
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We're not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
When the standards of - society
Are based - solely on greed
Humanity - compassion
Do not - define what it means to succeed!
For the poor - contempt and hate
From the rich - middle class, the state
Compassion - dumped for
Apathy - the greatest nation ever seen?
That’s fuckin' real hard to believe
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We’re not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We're not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
This ship is sinking - it's time we set it right
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We're not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
Socialized – socialized
Mechanized – mechanized
To consume... everything in the world!
Saturate – saturate
Accumulate – accumulate
Your happiness... can be bought and be sold!
Environment – environment
Detriment – detriment
Is not... an issue of concern!
Humanity – humanity
Or this insanity – insanity
The choice is yours and your choice alone!
But you won't be alone no, you won't be alone... YEAH!
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We’re not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We're not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
This ship is sinking - it's time we set it right
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We're not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
Revolution!
In your head!
On the streets!
don't trust them as far as you can throw them 'cause as strong as you may be you won't be able to move them an inch but you don't have to believe me go ahead and be the corporate stooge that they trained you to be and... then you'll see what you get for your loyalty! they call it "down sizing" but that's just a backhanded saying for the phrase: "we're gonna screw you, till you're down on your knees... and you better not try to complain 'cause there's another hundred stiffs like you, all who'd plead...i'd kiss your ass just for a chance to be a whore to your company!!!" you see it every day, everywhere, on the t.v. screen each time a different face or family, but it's always the same "we worked here all our lives, gave them everything we had and now they say they're gonna move the factory, to a third world country where the labor is cheap." but the fact my friend that you don't see is the money you spend on the goods they make supports their methods of abuse on the third world scene and in your very own backyard, yes your country so i won't be the consumer that they want me to be because the goods i own, aren't going to set me free so i won't buy that crap, they want to sell me because the goods i own, won't set anyone free
pocatello, idaho: "punk rock?!?!?! isn't that the type of music where kids cut each other with razor blades and knives?" new york, ny: "you guys were so awesome tonight. well actually, i'm too drunk to remember your set, but you're my favorite band...hee-hee" "right on", that's the phrase, to the fucked up stupid things you say, we say: "right on! right on! right on! right on...!" newark, nj: "if you guys think america's so bad, why don't you move to russia?" los angeles, ca: "what do you mean you don't drink? drinking's my entire life. you gotta start drinking!" "right on", that's the phrase, to the fucked up stupid things you say, we say: "right on! right on! right on! right on...!" pittsburgh, pa: "anti-flag? that doesn't mean anti the american flag, does it...?" right on!!!
the president got caught getting head so soon some people will be dead iraqi bodies scattered around by the cluster bombs that land in their barracks and their homes they (i.e. u.s. representatives) get on t.v. and openly state that saddam hussein should be removed from his place if anybody said that about the u.s. president the u.s. military would rip them a new ass so where is the real terrorist? in the middle east or the u.s.? so who is the real terrorist? is it saddam hussein or the u.s. president?
watching tv talk shows is a lot of fun i like it when they alwasy have on people who are shooting guns inbred couples from west virginia inbred people, who want to kill you! i saw a story about a man who was fucking his daughter, and his wife was fucking her mother it was the kind of thing that'd make you want to shoot up! yes tonight's gonna be a really good time i'm gonna go out and get real fucking high i'll shoot some guns, i'll drive around in my car, you know i'll probably end up at the fucking bar and while i'm there i'm gonna, get real high, i'm gonna kick some ass, i'm gonna fuck shit up!!! i'll kick you in your fucking teeth if you get in my way..because i'm having a good day!!! i'm having a good day i'm just having a good day and i don't want you there! no, you'll be at hime watching your tv set you've got your hand holding your fucking dick, and you're cumming in your fucking mouth..ok
i learned about america from my first day in school land of opportunity, land of the free they told us we were blessed and fortunate but they turned away my questions on homelessness i don't believe-i don't believe born into a national identity a citizenship that defines the word "free" but if we're so fucking free why don't we even get a choice? i never choose to be a citizen, there was no choice given to make i don't believe-i don't believe i don't believe in america or the "american dream" i don't believe in nationalism we're all the same until the rich old men who control the world find something they can't have and they send us out there to kill each other, let the rich fight their wars themselves i don't believe... you've got nothing to gain, by fighting for them!
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
He says that for the punk rock scene
He'd give his fucking life,
But he only ever paid to see a show once
maybe twice...
Instead he stands outside the halls
And pan handles for beer,
Then sneaks into the hall
To deface the bathroom mirror !
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
His name is "captain anarchy",
But only in his mind...
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
So punk that he's a poser and he'll be one
till he dies !
You never saw an anarchist
With such perfect hair,
Or so many ten dollar spikes,
Or so much punk rock gear...
He said he used his welfare checks
To buy his boots and plaids...
In reality it was all paid for
By his mommy and his dad !
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
His name is "captain anarchy",
But only in his mind...
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
He's anarchy incarnate but only in his (mind)...
You know he just can see,
OI! OI! OI! OI!
It's up to you and me...
OI! OI! OI! OI!
I don't want to be,
OI! OI! OI! OI!
Fighting, let's stride for...
Some unity!!!
...Let's go!!
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
His name is "captain anarchy",
But only in his mind...
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
So punk that he's a poser and he'll be one
Sittin' home on a Saturday night
I can't believe she called me
I've beening waitin' for my whole life
and now she's dead
Betty Sue..is dead!
Betty Sue...
Sittin' home on a Saturday night
I've got nothin' better to do
then to sit here and play with myself
now that she's dead
Betty Sue...is dead!
Betty Sue...
This song is about my girlfriend from 1953.
She was the hottest girl in town. But nobody liked
her except for me.
She was bi-sexual...bi-sexual (no way) bi-sexual (heh wow)
there's no such thing as a bi-sexual in 1953!
(say that again)
there's no such thing as a bi-sexual in 1953!
She died yesterday (oh..oh) in a car wreck (oh..oh)
looking at her playboy..and now she's dead!
She died yesterday (oh..oh) in a car wreck (oh..oh)
a large price to pay to be a pervert
Betty Sue...is dead!
Betty Sue...
...to be a pervert!
Betty Sue...is dead!
Betty Sue is dead.
Alright!
I've stood by, and I've cried
While friends have died
You ever have a friend kill themselves or,
Shot down, or knifed?
Just when I think I've seen it
For the final time,
It comes knocking back again
To devastate my life
20 years of hell (20 years)
20 years of hell (20 years)
For I've been living for too long
And I wish my life was done
20 years of hell (20 years)
20 years of hell (20 years)
For I've been living for too long
And I wish my life was done
20 years of hell
I said, 'Good-Bye' to you,
On a summer's night
Now I wish that I had stayed with you, but
Oh it's too late
Next thing I knew was that
You'd been in an attack
And you were laying in a cold morgue
Stuffed into a body bag
20 years of hell (20 years)
20 years of hell (20 years)
For I've been living for too long
And I wish my life was done
20 years of hell (20 years)
20 years of hell (20 years)
For I've been living for too long
And I wish my life was done
Saw you last night you said was wrong
Where'd I get the idea you were gone?
Woke up to sounds of my own screams
Woke up in a sweat it was just a dream
That dream goes on and on and on?
Will it ever end? Well I don't?
I don't know
the only people that i bow down to are my family it kind of sucks that my loved ones don't let me do what I want to do grandma always says to me "it's just a phase" well wake up grandma It's my life and i'm not gonna change i'm not gonna i'm not gonna i'm not gonna not gonna change alright we fight but I'm not gonna change no "your fucked up hair your fucked up clothes why don't you look normal?" why don't you judge me for who i am, who i am people mock me on the street ignorant and sheltered i'd like to think you're not the same you're not the same i'm not gonna i'm not gonna i'm not gonna not gonna change
Dad keeps a gun in the drawer in his room,
My best friend is coming over to play

We got his gun
We're having fun
Tryin to find where the bad guys are

but its too late he is dead
oh no
oh no
I've watched the news
For many days
this happens every week
this happens in your town
dont keep a gun in your house
dont keep a gun in your house
They feed us brainrot, and tell us that it's true
Dan Rather is reporting something but it isn't news
It's molded, and folded, and beamed into your home
The next minute you find yourself dying for fucking oil...
Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Subtraction, to the time left in your life
Immediate - Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate - Substraction, but all we really want,
all we really want, is truth
Bred into silence by television sets
Accepting lies from media so soon we will forget
The lives that we spend as workers for the rich
You work so much there's no time left to realize
You think you're oh so different
Well, you'd do the same as me, yeah
You're just a hypocrite
When you make fun of me
You'd do the same
Well, you've done it now
You've blown your ride
Wasting your time
Is all your time
You'd do the same
Don't look down
Why don't you come over here and see what you've created
It'll make you laugh so hard you'll cry
And lookin' into the black you make me so far past sick
Lookin' into your eyes I wish you'd die
No more dead
No more dead
Two, three, four
Well I've seen the crosses burnt and holy
And the people they all come down they're screaming
"Hey man, it's a fix!"
And I looked into the cause in which, you were striving towards
And I thought, though of the wasted, the wasted youth..
No more dead
No more dead
No more dead dead dead
No more dead
No more dead
No more dead
No more dead dead dead
No more dead
He's lying all alone
His life is stolen, yes it's gone
Into the black of the night can't you see it was no fault of his own
Trapped in a slum, bred into a slum,
Killing his own instead of rich white men
And he's never gonna escape from it now,
Because it's over, and he's dead
100 years just having fun
until you come
with your steroid arms
and skinny head
skinny head
you cut your wrists
slash your face
call it performance art
tryin to be cool
you're ignorant
anti-violent
anti, anti
you start a fight
drink beer all night
and molest the little girls
tell everyone there
that your physco
phys phys physco
well i dont think your physco
your just another show off
go shoot up
just one last time
anti-violent
anti, anti
we dont need your war
anti-violent
anti, anti

Covered in leather, or plaid patches, or metal studs
Your hair is dyed or spiked with glue
You only talk to those who look and act the way you do
Cause you think you're so fuckin' cool
Punk. Punk. Punk.
Punk by the book.
Book. Book. Book.
Punk by the book.
Book. Book. Book.
Punk by the book.
Book. Book. Book.
You say that punk to you is what's in your mind,
Not what you wear,
But you know you're so full of shit!
You scoff at how the cops treat you,
But they're no worse than dicks like you!
I just can't understand what you're thinking.
Punk. Punk. Punk.
Punk by the book.
You're punk by the book...
Hey!
Hey!
The Berlin Wall falls in the East
The West claims triumph, "We've really got 'em beat!"
Politicans from the West claim the police state's dead
But what of the police state in the West?
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
Police State in the U.S. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.
The government controls everything you do
With police and the feds watching over you
You try to stand against them and you'll end up dead
As your front door is smashed in by the ATF
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
Police State in the U.S. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.
One, two, thre, four
Your television screen shows the feds most wanted
But do you truly know why these men are being hunted?
It's a big brother state it's the same as the East
The cops protect the rich and corporate elite
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
Police State in the U.S. U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A.
Police State in the U.S.A.
Facism with a friendly face
All you punkers with your
No Future dreams
Follow Johnny Rotten
and all our preset beliefs
Following society
be what they want you to be
Drunk and Quiet
"there's no future for me."
IMPATIENCE with society
BE WHAT they want you to be
IMPATIENCE "there's no future here"
"I'm not lazy I just don't care"
Of course there is no future
when you make sure there is none
Impatience "time is wasting,
there is No Future to be won"
If you truly don't care,
then why talk No Future
Excuses hang like nooses
"I've given up I just don't care"
IMPATIENCE with society
BE WHAT they want you to be
IMPATIENCE "there's no future here"
"I'm not lazy I just don't care"
Of course you'll bring no change
when you sit home on your couch
We need to stand up and fight
bring our future to a start
We can change anything just as
long as we take the time
Generations, generations, generations...
they're not the same
IMPATIENCE with society
BE WHAT they want you to be
IMPATIENCE "there's no future here"
Gulp, gulp, gulp
I want to drink more beer
Until I puke
Drink Drank Punk
I'm so cool
I can drink so much
I can drink more than you
Drink Drank Punk
Met a girl at the bar oh

Mom's gonna get us at the mall oh
In a druken stupor hope I don't fall oh
I chew on a big wad of gum oh
Mom won't notice, she's old and DUMB
welcoming with open arms and, with open hearts
in the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out
this country named "america", is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place
the word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..."
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me... For me!
it's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground, for multinational companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies
their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..."
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
at little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads: "to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing
hostile indians away... '
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves
when they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!"
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
You know I feel so violent,
Just want to break some glass,
Every day I pray it'll be my last
Turning to a blank wall wondering what to do?
Turning to a caliber .22
Every day he starts the same old fight.
And every day it just gets worse by night.
If I hit the streets I think I'll be alright.
But until I do, I won't be safe tonight.
Safe tonight
Every day I remember all that lead to this.
And every day don't ya know I get a little more pissed.
Banging on myself because I just don't care.
There's nothing left for me back there
He's twisted and violent,
I don't know what to do.
I left there for the streets last night
Thinking only of you, be safe tonight
Safe tonight
It all falls down on to me, like a baseball bat.
It hurts me, haunts me, hurts me, haunts me
I never want to go back.
I'm twisted tonight, and I don't know what to do?
I'm twisted tonight, I want to be with you, I want to be with you,
I want to be with you, be with, be with, be with you..
With an endless class war, justice will we see?
OH KATRINA WON'T YOU SET US FREE?
We've got soldiers killing in the name of peace.
OH KATRINA WON'T YOU SET US FREE?
As the gas prices rise will they ever seize?
OH KATRINA WON'T YOU SET US FREE?
And I was burnin' like a forest fire
Yeah, I was burning like gasoline, lit
When I heard the things you said
Drown out the things you did
than I thought of your neck,
thought of your beautiful blue eyes
While the police gas suffocated our lungs
but not our insides
and than that protest sign
it came to my mind
when we were young we never could have known that,
never could have known that
this world would be so cold
Set up; knock down our souls
[Verse:]
Don't "flash" brainwash your mind your head swelled up with pride
A worldwide family. a brotherhood, a sisterhood
Differences are put aside, for positive goals we strive
Our new community starts with you
[Chorus: 2x]
Federation, Federation
No flags in a one world nation
Federation, Federation
hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse:]
Ideas are a natural right (our right) "scroll" past a human life
That they will not decide, a new age, a new sunrise!
Question answers, use your mind... no lie, truth we'll find
Our new community, starts with you!
[Chorus: 2x]
Federation, Federation
No flags in a one world nation
Federation, Federation
hey, hey, hey, hey
[Outro:]
When we will fight (we will fight)
Ya we will fight (we will fight)
You can spoon my eyes out
But I can still see through you
Slice my ears from my head
But you cannot shut out the sounds of truth
Lock off each hand at the wrist
So I can't raise my fist
You can kill the protester
(can't kill)
But you can't kill the protest
You can murder the rebel
(Murder)
You can't murder the rebellion
Sawed my feet at the ankles
But I wasn't going to run
(I wasn't gonna run)
So he grabbed my face
And sliced off my tongue
Lock off each hand at the wrist
So I can't raise my fist
You can kill the protester
(Can't kill)
But you can't kill the protest
You can murder the rebel
(Murder)
You can't murder the rebellion
(No)
Lying still now
(No)
No way to speak
(No)
There's nothing to fear
(There's nothing to fear)
(No)
Lying still now
(No)
No way to speak
(No)
There's nothing to fear
(No nothing to fear)
'Cuz bullets can't silence ideas
You can kill the protester
(Can't kill)
You can't kill the protest
You can murder the rebel
(Murder)
You can't murder the rebellion
The rebellion
The rebellion

People want to kill you.

(Can't you see that people want to kill you)
When you don't control your own government people want to kill you.
We've run out of patience,
You've run out of time !
This scene will not fall victim
To your violence or lies.
Your "values" are nothing
But excuses to start fights.
Quit fronting like you're standing
For a moral cause tonight...
United as one, we won't stand aside,
You tried to fuck with our scene... We're gonna fuck your life !!!
This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS FUCKING FASCISTS !
Dead... That's right, DEAD !
You don't have to be a rascist,
To be a nazi, fuck !
Your mindless nationalism
Gives you credentials enough.
You spew your right wing rhetoric,
When we got your attention...
You've mistaken the punk scene
For the Republican Convention !
No more infiltration, no more right wing lies,
You don't belong in our scene... We'll fight you till we die !!!
This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS FUCKING FASCISTS !

Who would Jesus bomb? Yeah, who would Jesus kill?
The double talk is past surreal
The word of god is now the word of hate
War is peace, and freedom is the police state
Can't you see the writing on the wall?
Democracy lays trampled on the floor...
You better believe that...
Hell yeah I'm confused for sure what I thought was the New Millennium is 1984!
Mr. Orwell from the grave, adding fresh ink to the page
As the unpresident declares an endless war...
Welcome to 1984!
Feels like Nazi Germany, and Hitler on TV,
As the unpresident spews homophobic speech
Didn't the Allies fight a war to end extremist fascist law
So tell me NOW what are the fuck we fighting for?
I just can not take it anymore
Democracy lays trampled on the floor...
Man, isn't freedom great?!?!
Hell yeah I'm confused for sure what I thought was the New Millennium is 1984!
Mr. Orwell from the grave, adding fresh ink to the page
As the unpresident declares an endless war...
Now we've got...
Armies of peace, armed to the teeth, delivering death to make the world a better place
So celebrate the weapons spending, say a toast to Armageddon, raise some hell!
We're all headed straight to hell!!!
Hell yeah I'm confused for sure what I thought was the New Millennium is 1984!
Mr. Orwell from the grave, adding fresh ink to the page
As the unpresident declares an endless war...
The kids sing out in defiance
against a world that has forgotten them,
and the media ask 'why are the kids so angry'?
Afterwards they'll go back home
to their uncaring fathers and misunderstanding mothers
and they'll dream of a time when they're back again
with all their friends
at another show
where they will sing,
'these are the days,
these are the days we will never forget'.
Sixteen and all alone,
searching for a place to call her home,
thinking about a bottle or maybe even worse,
but she passed on self-destruction when she found a better place
at the show with the kids, the excitement of change,
and singing along with every kid in the crowd
she breathed in deep
and she sang out loud,
'these are the days,
these are the days,
these are the days we will never forget'.
He was never called cool,
no he never fit in
because he thought for himself
and he went against the trends
but the abuse at school was finally setting in yeah,
till the day he found a place to go
with the other punk rockers
at the punk rock show,
shoulder to shoulder with his new allies
he forget about school as tears came to his eyes,
and he sang
'these are the days,
these are the days,
these are the days we will never forget, no'.
Sitting under the corner light,
my six string in my hand,
playing my songs all by myself
thinking no one out there could understand,
but it wasn't too long before
i realized i was wrong
and i found myself singing from a stage,
a chorus of voices singing along,
and we sing
'these are the days,
these are the days,
these are the days we will never forget'.
Yeah we sing,
'these are the days,
these are the days,
these are the days we will never forget,
Have you ever been alone? Transparency
In the middle of millions of others but still somehow unseen
She is across the aisle, he's on the floor above
Your neighbor and every prisoner
Each station filled with static, broadcasting nothing but noise
Deep inside of each of us
We are the lost, the dead and gone, the seldom seen
We are the helpless and the hopeless, that no one wants to see
We are the lost, the dead and gone, the seldom seen
We are the helpless and the hopeless, that no one wants to see
Have you ever been drowned? Transparency
In the water with millions of others, but still somehow unseen
She is across the aisle, he's on the floor above
Your neighbor and every stranger
Each station filled with static, broadcasting nothing but noise
We are the lost, the dead and gone, the seldom seen
We are the helpless and the hopeless, that no one wants to see
We are the lost, the dead and gone, the seldom seen
We are the helpless and the hopeless, that no one wants to
Outside we are alive, where is the line, the great divide?
Outside we are alive, where is the line, the great divide?
Are we dead?
(No)
Are we gone?
(No)
Are we dead?
(No)
Are we gone?
(No)
Are we dead?
Are we moving on?
We may fail to see change but we're never gonna fade away
We are the lost, the dead and gone, the seldom seen
We are the helpless and the hopeless that no one wants to see
We are the lost, the dead and gone, the seldom seen
We are the helpless and the hopeless that no one wants to see
We will be seen, we will be seen, we will be seen
We will be seen, we will be seen, we will be seen
Lost on the street because you don't know what to do,
There's something in your heart that's coming over you,
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!
It takes you back to a better time and place,
The leaders of this world have shortchanged the human race,
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
One look at the world and it promts these words,
"WE DON'T NEED IT!"
The state of The State, it makes you feel sick,
Back stabbing, dollar driven status quo shit!
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!
That's when you made a pledge to yourself,
"I'm gonna live my life to build a better world!"
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
One look at the world and it promts these words,
"WE DON'T NEED IT!"
Take a good look at the sad state of the world,
(sad, state)
Don't you know it starts with you and that it starts with me?!?!
This is the new fucking millennium (BRAND NEW AGE!)
We're going to turn the world UPSIDE DOWN! (ON IT'S HEAD!)
It's time to show some true humanity,
And time to show we truly care...
For the world,
For each other,
For those we've known...
Through all our years.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
One look at the world and it promts these words,
I must again sing my dissent until your end
I must again sing my dissent until your end
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
This is the first set of words that I'll put to these chords
To indemnify me of the blood that runs
Through the veins in my arms
Pumped from my heart
That holds hope in one chamber and hate in the others
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
Fatherless is how I prefer to be known
At 6 years young I was left all on my own
The son of a full time working mother
With a molester for father, who lives with a prison for home
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
We all have one love
And I must again sing my dissent until your end
And I must again sing my dissent until your end
Because I can barely breathe with your weight on my chest
And I'm so fucking sick of being ashamed of my own flesh
And I must again sing my dissent until your end
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
We all have our vices, we all have our flaws
We all have our anger, we all have our love
The Anarchists are buzzin' like bees around a hive
As protesters hit the streets with signs, signs, signs
The dissent of the world has filled us to the brim
But some will still cast their ballots
Based on those who live in sin.
It's unbelievable
It's unbelievable to watch the system crumble
This political shakedown, coming correct from the underground
This political shakedown, coming correct from the underground
We've been cut up
We've been shut up
For far too long, yeah!
Pull the feeding tube out of the mouth of democracy
Televise it starving to death
Once buried in the ground
We can all breathe free
We can all breathe free
It's unbelievable
It's unbelievable to watch the system crumble
This political shakedown, coming correct from the underground
This political shakedown, coming correct from the underground
We've been cut up
We've been shut up
For far too long, yeah!
(It's unbelievable, whoa oh whoa oh-oh)
(It's unbelievable, whoa oh whoa oh-oh)
Policeman takes his club to a head (It's unbelievable, whoa oh whoa oh-oh)
Just like he's beating the drum
The news reporters dance like hell (It's unbelievable, whoa oh whoa oh-oh)
The national media cover Clinton/Lewinsky
While the world's governments sell out millions on the issue of free trade
But somewhere in the night -- A force is not asleep
And a massive organization plans to rise up to its feet...
It happens like this...
A pirate radio voice transmits into the night
And from D.C. to Peking email warns of lost global rights
And the hoax the world's leaders, wanted no one to see
Comes crashing on their heads from grass roots
Striking it down the blows coming for the world's...

One day while sitting in my room
You came in preaching
Your words predicting doom
You've never once been
Happy with me,
Because I'm not
What you want me to be..No!!!
You tried to teach me
To pray and go to school
You tried to teach me
To be the system's tool
But you missed
What I was smart enough to see
That their system doesn't work
For you or me
Oh..Don't believe what they say is true
Oh..Their system doesn't work for you
Oh..You can be what you want to be
Oh..Don't have to choose
To join the corporate army
For god and country give up your life,
Don't try to figure out what's wrong or right
You never tried to stop, to look, to see
That you're exactly what you're told to be
You did everything fucking right
You followed the system's guiding light
And now you fucking bitch to me
To fucking get a job,
When you don't like
That life you've got
You fucking corporate whore
For you or me
Oh..Don't believe what they say is true
Oh..Their system doesn't work for you
Oh..You can be what you want to be
Oh..Don't have to choose
To join their corporate army
Don't have to choose
To join their corporate army
Dont have to choose, don't have to choose

Seems every station on the TV
is selling something no one can be
If every page was torn from the magazine
would cash still drive the media machine?
The products, damage and pursuit are endless
identity can leave you selfless

Hey, tonight, tonight, tonight I'm gonna stay awake
Safe inside this Trojan horse until day breaks
Tear it up, tear it up, fuck it up
In the streets runs a river knee deep
Hidden in the blood of our own lies the alphabet of the free
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
Ce soir, ce soir, ce soir je vais rester éveillé
There is no extinguishing the resistance you betray
The marquis, zapatista, white rose
Can we see the end of a battle unheard?
For every name in history there are a thousand more interred
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember?
I can't believe my own eyes, I've seen this sight 1000 times
I can't believe my own eyes, I've seen this sight 1000 times
I can't believe my own eyes, I've seen this sight 1000 times
I can't believe my own eyes, hey
We will be sovereign in the water, in the shadow of the dead
Still no one remembers them
We will be free in the cold of the shadow of the dead
You will remember then
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
Will you remember them?
As I walk through the valley in the shadow of the dead
No one flag flies over the multi-national company.
No allegiance to the board's homeland, fellow citizens, the flag born of their country.
As the brainwashed nationalists move,
To shed their blood on battle fields.
War profiteering rich watch their stocks reap high yields.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
No patriotic pledge from multi-national companies.
Only a commitment to lock away equality and steal away all freedom from the poorest of the poor.
So that the boardroom can insure
their stockholders profits are higher in return.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
It's our world.
Let's take it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's our world.
Let's take it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's our world.
We want it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's your world.
Take your world back!
Take it, fucking back.
There's a call
A ringing sound
Around the globe
Its gaining ground
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh.
There's a voice in your heart
It beckons you to do your part
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh!
The line is drawn
In the sand
On one side your a slave
The other a free man
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh!
There's a call
Freedom's sound
Around the globe
Its gaining ground!
We're tearing down the border
We're tearing down the border
(Rollin?)
If you utter a sound
Don't make a move
We'll kill you
Then they gathered around me
One man took my right arm
And another man took my left
When the third man grabbed the front of my coat
Then thrown in to an automobile we go
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in that 20 mile ride
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight
In an auto with six man and chauffeur
Yeah these Christian patriots
They put fingers in my eyes and nose
As they subjected me to torture
Yeah the torture that a good fearing man
Is capable of conceiving
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in that 20 mile ride
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight
You won't kiss the American flag
Well by god we'll make you
We'll ram it down your throat
Sing the Star Spangled Banner with feeling
They put their autos together
So the lamp set a sickly stage light
Fourteen defenders of this country
All commanding me to undress
They poured tar over my body and hair
In the absence of feathers they rubbed sagebrush instead
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in that 20 mile ride
Oh I wish
I could describe
The terror in the beautiful California moonlight
My suffering was terrible
How can we be free?
The bloodline of kings in the house of white
Lynch law abiding citizens cashing in their rights
The sky is on fire, the sky is on fire
It's blood red and torching any horizon it desires
Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street
Spit, spit, spit in the face
No, I don't give a fuck what you think of me?
Are we getting anywhere? I'm getting out of here
How can we be free?
Abandoning the children in the forest to feed ourselves
We will all stay more healthy if we don't distribute wealth
Aimed friendly fire, aimed friendly fire
There is only greed living the life we desire
Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street
Spit, spit, spit in the face
No, I don't give a fuck what you think of me?
Are we getting anywhere? I'm getting out of here, oh
Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street
Spit, spit, spit in the face
I don't give a fuck what you think of me?
Are we getting anywhere? I'm getting out of here
As we set sail across a raging sea
(As we set sail across a raging sea)
Unconquerable by reality
(We are unconquerable)
As we set sail across a raging sea
(As we set sail across a raging sea)
Unconquerable by reality
I am infallible, I am untouchable
Spit in the face of the deceased
Bite down on your tongue and turn the other cheek
Spit in the face of the deceased
Disappear like a ghost when we pass on the street
Spit, spit, spit in the face
No, I don't give a fuck what you think of me?
Are we getting anywhere? I'm getting the fuck out of here

want to tell you a little story 'bout a party that went all
right,
but went all wrong i want to tell you a little story 'bout a
party in this song...
it happened back in '93,
in the pittsburgh punk rock scene an event that will go
down,
in infamy it was all the master plan,
of one legendary punk rock kid his name was "spaz",
S-P-A-Z...
an eviction notice sent to his house sparked off an idea,
"i should have one last party al my place..."
so off he set with his master plan, the invitations in his hand
read,
"you're invited to my house destruction party!"
spaz's house destruction party,
it was chaos with no end if you were crazy enough
to make the house destruction party then you know
you're lucky that you lived we played there st. patrick's
day,
with submachine and the bad genes in a basement full of
debris
from kicked in doors, broken glass,
kicked in walls the place was trashed the house was now
missing
its support beams the bathrooms had no toilets or sinks
left
in them there was nothing in the kitchen left to break aut
rotten spray painted on walls,
drunk punks passed out in the halls and this was just the second
night,
or a three-day long party the cops showed up
and all the kids went piling out the back i remember running
away
and hiding out in the lot behind the squirrel hill mellon bank
the cop said,
"i want to speak to someone who lives here!"
and this punk kid said she did he asked,
"is this the condition this house has always been in?"
A black man driving down the street one day
Pulled over by racist boys in blue in Brentwood,Pa.
Theres no reason,they dont have any right
It's just that in their eyes he's not the correct shade of white....
Driving in a neighborhood that's reigned by whites
Ain't healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy life
All those cops they walked off free,but him he's in a grave
His name is Jhonny Gammage,one of thousands they have slain
We've got no rights.....
....When cops can kill
it's not right....
.....we live in fear
Patrol man crusing in his car at night
Just looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fight
Pulled over 3 kids in a total rage
Next thing that you know there's bodies all over the place
His back up came & they're all acting tough
3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubs
The cops they did it just cause those kids color and their age
They say that's not the truth,but this happens every fucking day!!!
We've got no rights....
....When cops can kill
it's not right.....
.....we live in fear
Fear of what you're gonna do,when a cops talking shit to you
Fear of what you're gonna say,when the cops come gunning your way
Fear of what you should'nt do,when the cops try to provoke you
Fear that on any given day,the cops could take your life away......
They say they're here,to keep the peace........
WHAT A BUNCH OF FUCKIN SHIT!!!
We've got no rights...
....when cops can kill
it's not right.....
....we live in fear
Rank-N-File lyrics
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
let my imagination go and drop me where i feel most scared
back snap back already giving thanks im not trapped working
in a sweatshop somewhere
this songs for those less fortunate
locked in a world where both ends are not meant to meet
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
let my imagination go and drop me where i feel most scared
synaptic flashes in my head then total thanks again
I'm not soldiering somewhere
this song is for the countless souls
who died in vain for someone else's gain.
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
left my birthplace for forgeign streets
to strange places new faces i flew
shoeless kids stood on the corner
their eyes they were transfixed on you
so I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground oh my black hearts worn on the sleeve
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground with the black hearts worn on our sleeves
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
I'm standing with the rank-n-file
and so the time has finally come
the bourgeoisie has signed the war decree with proletariat blood
and that blood which flows from their pen

Smoke stacks reach the sky
As talk of revolution heats the air
On every city street, in every state
The truth stands all too clear
1, 2, 3, 4
The kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all the lies
We want the truth
It isn't gonna be no paradise
It isn't gonna be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't gonna be no paradise, oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now
Promises of a better tomorrow
Promises bought on borrowed dollars
No disaster ever looked so great
So while I say
As old men delivered that league of terror, war
We ask ourselves what are we dying for?
And so the kids are sick and tired of the news today
Sick and tired of all your lies
We want the truth
It isn't gonna be no paradise
It isn't gonna be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't gonna be no paradise, oh no
We need to take the world back now
We need to take control right now
The richest of the rich, dine in fancy chic cafés
Not a worry of their days
The cost of luxury, throughout empires of history
His vengeance from those empire enslaved
You better hear us now
It isn't gonna be no paradise
It isn't gonna be no paradise
Forget the claims
It isn't gonna be no paradise
Everything that I see
There's no future for me
Everything that I read
There's no future for me, go
No future taught from the day we're born
A generation apathetic, youths are told
Your future is not to be forced on the world
The salad days of revolution are inborn
We will break, we will break
We will break free, yeah
Everything that I see
There's no future for me
Everything that I read
There's no future for me, for me, for me
No future a marketing genius franchise
Playing off the boredom of the disenfranchised
Just dregs of humanity you have no future
Keepin' you thick and uninterested
We will break, we will break
We will break free, yeah
Everything that I see
There's no future for me
Everything that I read
There's no future for me
No future, advertise
No future, merchandise
Everything that I see
There's no future for me
I know, I know
Can't change your future unless you change yourself
I know, I know
It's what you buy, not what they sell
I know, I know
Can't change your future unless you change yourself
I know, I know
It's what you buy, not what they sell
Everything that I see
There's no future for me

I herad a man on the radio saying, "we're facing an economic
hell"
It creates a vision in my head of ten thousand kids sent off to
kill
Theres always a voice that says, "you've got a choice"
But a choice between shit is still shit!!
CHORUS
Resistance, Resistance
I won't be used
By a fascist corporation, a rightwing politician,
I'm not a slave, not a tool, f**k you!
I've got an idea in my head and I know it is nothing new
But it seems to me a better plan than being used, and being
screwed
Think your safe to spread your hate from behind your iron gate's
Your walls will never be strong enough to keep us down
(chorus)
BRIDGE
Sometimes there is not a choice, like when your backs against
the wall
So it's better to make a move, before they've set you up to fall
SO YOU... so you better organize
SO YOU... so you better open eyes
SO YOU... so you better sound out loud the call
Before you find your back is up against the wall
THEIR f**king wall
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
The day belongs to us
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
The day belongs to us
The sign said, "Detour," so I did
And I found myself in a wonderful place
Fields of green when the wind blows cold
The kindda place one could grow old
The sky opened up
(Yeah)
The sun showered down
(Aww)
Onto a row of wooden pikes
What an awe inspiring sight
Birds shy on top of them
Puts your head in a beautiful state
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
The day belongs to us
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
The day belongs to us
Life is a horror show and baby it will never stop
They tell me watch my step
I answer back, "You watch your mouth"
So many stories you have told
You and your stories have grown old
S O S who will save our ship?
S O S who gives a shit?
Sinking like a rock with a heart of coal
Sinking like a rock without a soul
Please note, don't underestimate
'Cause I'm a cruel motherfucker
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
The day belongs to us
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
The day belongs to us
The new dawn starts this day
As strange and savage poetry make up your eulogy
Tables turned around and turned on you
No one sheds a tear, no one loses sleep
You disappear
(We fall asleep)
You disappear
(We fall asleep)
You disappear
(We fall asleep)
You disappear
(We fall asleep)
We fall
You'll get yours when you're
You'll get yours when you're
You'll get yours when you're
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
(You'll get yours when you're)
The day belongs to us
You'll get yours when you're good 'n' ready
You'll get yours and go straight to hell
And when that day comes, you can be good and sure
(You'll get yours when you're)
The day belongs to us
I always thought if you want to change the world
Then you have to start with yourself
So if the heads of state want to end terrorism
They should go ahead and kill themselves
I will not sign my blind faith away
To an unjustly leader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their cess pool
Of extreme wealth and excess
Whoa Oh
The phrase world leaders
Does not describe the heads of state
Those few in power
Work only for the corporate sake
No action, no interest, no humanity at all
As the corporate towers rise up
They watch the people fall
A governement run by the corporations of the world
Enslaving mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters
Profits put before people
Equal force, equal reaction
Equal suppression, equal intimidations
Equal propaganda, equal rebellion
We've got to make a change
No religions, sexual preference
And regardless of your race
We've got to make a change
No war, corporate run
Governements, no police state
We've got to make a change
For the good of the human race
And you still look me in the eye
And you still wonder why
Your cities fucking burn
No borders, no nations
Tougher than a rock
But kinder than a saint
Rugged individual
Fighting hate
He's the punkest brah in town
He's got the back of the kids
When you fuck with the punk
Then you're fucking with

Marc defiant
Only just a teen when he left
Home for the city
Kissed his loving ma goodbye
And said, "I'm off to be somebody"
Father's spirit guiding him
He hooked up with [Incomprehensible]
He hit the road with the code
And he's never looking back
He's Marc defiant

Ha who Marc?

My father Michael is a genius
He sees this world the way no one can
He brought me up and he shaped my mind
At the tender youthful age of 9
He said don't take this for the way it is
You better watch out son when you give in
Before you know it the friends you trust
Will have stabbed you in the back he said
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
The fine line between genius and insanity
Is one he often treads so patiently
While pigs and bulls will always try to lock the door
A system built to perpetuate
Pushers pushin', dealers dealin' with they can't escape
I got kids and homes to protect
There's no living in this wage that they have set
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
Sometimes when my apathy creeps on up from behind me
It reminds me why I moved my TV
Out of the room where I make love in case I might just look up
And see the sky is falling from above, see it falling from above
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
If you wanna steal you better learn how to lie
If you wanna live you better not fear how you die
Heaven and hell are just a myth
So you better pay attention to this moment
A billionaire chatting with his friends
They've gotta stop and laugh
"We've really got those suckers fooled,
We've gotta 'em trained like rats!"
The riches plot, control your thoughts, to make you blame yourself
"The rich are rich because they're smarter than me.."
You're taught this is right, that it's your fault
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
They throw a war like a party saying,
"It's for a moral cause.."
Telling you if you're a patriot that
"YOU BETTER DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!"
You burn a flag, you're gonna hang,
Brainwashed nationalism makes you a tool
They're getting rich by selling weapons to both countries,
You never think to question what you're told!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
They're gonna give you nothing
They want to take way the little they call something
You know you're being used still you play along
If you're not complacent,
You're doing something wrong
One day they'll push to far
That marks the beginning of their end
We'll being them crashing down until they're all dead
They're all dead, they're all dead!
The time is growing near..
Put the trigger to the man...
Ok, let's go, kill 'em!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!
KILL, KILL, KILL!!!

everything that you did everything that you said you may as well be down at the mall 'cause that's no different, than being at the bar i saw that look in your eyes it made me realize that you changed, changed from what you were and now you're no better than a pop culture whore i can't stand being with you i can't stand that bar scene that you're into can't you see what you've become, it's every fucking thing that you swore you'd always snub i can't stand being with, being with sit there like all the old fools perched up high on your bar stool one day you told me, "i'll never be like them.." but i don't see a difference from the outside looking in all the punks at the bar like they could start up a war revolution plotted in a bottle, the thought makes me laugh and i turn on some nirvana i can't stand being with you i can't stand that bar scene that you're into can't you see what you've become, it's every fucking thing that you swore you'd always snub i can't stand being, being with you being with you, being with i can't stand being with you i can't stand that bar scene that you're into can't you see what you've become, it's every fucking thing that you swore you'd always snub i can't stand being with, being with you being with you, being with you, being with
Like a ghost emptiness haunted his years
Still his heart was made of nothing less than good, oh
Insecure narrative in his head, something less than schizophrenia
Creeping him with every move that he makes, breath he takes
A pitiful walk alone to his empty home
Where he'll lay and he'll sleep by himself
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, go
She hates me and I know it because she said so
And I forgot my notebook and my socialist manifesto
Will it be a tragedy or a comedy?
The choice is up to you, life can lead you along on a leash
Or you can break free and run on your own
Don't waste your life, go and live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, far away
Don't waste your life, go and live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, far away
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
You push and push a people, what are they to do?
Soon this corporate run government will be through
See, it doesn't represent the people anymore
Big business are the pimps and governments' their whores
We don't need more time to talk over a solution
We know what we need, we need a fucking revolution
We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars
We’ve got one thing you ain’t got
We’ve got, we've got, we've got... got the numbers!
To you the masses are not even human beings
We’re dogs that will be grateful for any scraps you leave
But even dogs will only put up with so much abuse
Keep stealing from us like you are we're gonna let loose
We don't need more time to talk over a solution
We know what we need, we need a fucking revolution
We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars
We’ve got one thing you don't have
We’ve got, we've got, we've got... got the numbers!
We’ve got...we have... we've got the numbers!
We don't need more time to talk over a solution
We know what we need, we need a fucking revolution!!!
We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars
We’ve got one thing you ain’t got

The Indie kids are a bunch of snobs.
They complain my timing's all off.
I think timing is for stupid fucks!
Why do they think I play punk rock!
Steve Albini playing god of indie heave,
Stupid dorks keeping time in seven and eleven!
Indie sucks, hard-line sucks, emo sucks, you suck!
Indie sucks, hard-line sucks, emo sucks, you suck!
I'm not a vegan and I have had sex,
So some hard-line kids tried to kick my ass
If you're not like them they want to clean your clock
They're nothing but a bunch of jocks!
They're anti-choice, they're facist youth,
Their songs all sound like metal tunes!
Indie sucks, hard-line sucks, emo sucks, you suck!
Indie sucks, hard-line sucks, emo sucks, you suck!
But what about punk rock?
What about punk rock? hahahahaha
I've been told emo songs are deep,
Which translates into really weak!
All they ever do is cry,
Did something get caught in their eyes?
I just can't understand it all,
Even I don't only bawl.. boohoohoo.. be a man!
My girlfriend dumped me and I'm really really hurt...
Indie sucks, hard-line sucks, emo sucks, you suck!
Indie sucks, hard-line sucks, emo sucks, you suck!
The herd marches in to work
In black and white uniform
Dressed for their funeral
Nine to five viewing and burial
The CEO's wrangle 'em in
Through revolving doors
They brand on corporate logos
And remove their souls
Woah, ya do what you're told
Woah, woah, ya what you're told
Do what you're told
At the tallest buildings on the block
On one way streets the tickers tock
Another suit is lost
One more head on the chopping block
Woah, ya do what you're told
Woah, woah, ya do what you're told, yeah
There must be more to this life
We must be worth more than our work
Who you are your job won't define
Another victim of the daily grind
Another victim of the daily grind
Woah, you do what you're told
Woah, woah, do what you're told
Let's go
Woah, woah, ya do what you're told
Woah, woah, ya do what you're told
Woah, woah, ya do what you're told

We've got just 30 seconds
to sing to you about...
Nationalism, facism,
corporate greed, hate
Nazis and the president.
The downfall of the state.
We've got just 30 seconds
to sing to you about...
Sexism, corporate whores,
The Pope, and rape.
Christian fucks,
right wing whores.
The problems that we face.
We stand against every lie they tell
We fight, they lie
'Cause if we fall for the spin they sell
We fight, we die
Orwellesque headlines
We have heard it all before
As the 21st century becomes 1984
The new millennium generation
Will kick down their locked doors
You're gonna hear us sing
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We know that you're lying
That you never tell the truth
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
Anymore
Because we don't believe
Yeah, we don't believe
We can't repeat the mistakes of the past
March off to die
But we can take back control of the world
Take back our lives
Why should it be the poor
That die in combat zones?
While congress and their children
Sits safe in their lavish homes?
The new millennium generation
Will kick down their locked doors
They're gonna hear us sing
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We know that you're lying
That you never tell the truth
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
Anymore, no
We'll stand as one
We'll say, "We will not go"
We'll stand as one
We'll say, "We will not go"
We'll stand as one

We won't answer the call
We won't go
We won't answer the call
We know that you're lying

So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
So we won't go
We have no rights and i am pissed
the bill of rights does not exist
this whole system is a lie
This system we should defy
Class Plague
Society the one we hate
Stop corruption it's too late
This whole system is built by the rich
its time we should dig their ditch
Class Plague
Society separates more and more
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer
Capitalism's time to fall has come
It's time we should have revolution
revolution, its time to over throw
revolution, let's hit them with a blow
revolution, seal our fate
Spend a lifetime working for these people
To make what they earn in one day
There are options to choose, I call it Social Progress
Progress to not be abused
They were arrested for their views
It was the protesters they screwed
And still had the nerve to ask
Who I was voting for
Cause when you silence our youth
Then you silence the truth
Our right not to remain...
YEAH!!!
Start funding lives that move for changes
Not funding leaders that oppress and use
When politicians become nothing more but major corporations
Posing as humans, real humans lose...
They were arrested for their views
It was the protesters they screwed
And still had the nerve to ask
Who I was voting for
Cause when you silence our youth
Then you silence the truth
Our right not to remain...
SILENT!!!
I won't remain
I won't remain silent
I won't remain
I won't remain SILENT!!!!
Bring out your dead...
Oppression
Intimidation
There is no ardor that you know
Where is the axiom that we're owed?
And how do you fucking sleep?
You haven't missed a wink
There is no allegiance where you go
Your sure-fire "mandates" are theoretical
'Cause you're anti- anti- antithetic to the cure
You're anti- anti- antithetic to the cure
So "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
This mortal solution, are you sure?
How do you fucking sleep?
You haven't missed a wink
There is no honor where you are
Your sure-fire carte blanche is theoretical
'Cause you're anti- anti- antithetic to the cure
You're anti- anti- antithetic to the cure
Anti- anti- antithetic to the cure
Oh say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail
At the twilight's last gleaming
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
They said there's drug dealers selling on my streets
Those fuckers capped me three times in the feet
I've got two slugs embedded in my chest
Two hollow points from the nations best
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
They call me on the phone when I'm home alone
They ask for the Marines but they're just a bunch of whores
They spend their money on hotels just so they can tell
Tell Mr. President that I'm jerking off
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
I'M BEING WATCHED BY THE C.I.A.
I'M BEING WATCHED I'M BEING WATCHED
And yup I think that's got untied
Big day, big day planned out that night
Improverished mayan armies fight
Against the fearless capitalist might
Still they fight,
For their rights,
Organize!!!
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Revolution
Revolt!!!
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Revolution
Revolt!!!
Lightning, lightning ferments the rain
Conquistador invades their plain
They fucked the rich, took back their land
United as one now they stand
On their land,
Untied hands,
Marco's plan!!!
Oh-Oh-Oh
Revolution
Revolt!!!
Oh-Oh-Oh
Revoltution
Revolt!!!
Marginalized groups as one
Cannot be stopped or beaten
When the rich try to keep you down
The rich took everything
Some months are on display
To keep the message down
They will be brought down!!!
Oh-Oh-Oh
Zapatistas!!!
Oh-Oh-Oh
Zapatistas!!!
Victory,
From Unity,
All you ever do is brag about your dad
Well what the motherfucking hell did he ever do?
He had some money, I guess he was fucking rich
Yeah, well if you ask me I think your dad was a fucking dick
He was a rich man, your daddy's fucking dead
Your daddy was a rich man, your daddy's fucking dead
He was a brainwashed, scum fucker,
Wasted mother fucking piece of shit
Your daddy made a lot of fucking money,
I guess that means he was a real fucking honey?
Yeah more like your dad was just a motherfucking scumbag
Who had to stick a needle in his dick to get high
Your daddy was a rich man, your daddy's fucking dead
Your daddy was a rich man, your daddy's fucking dead
Your daddy was a scumbag, motherfucker,
Fuckhead, asshole, piece of shit
He was a whore, a fuckin's rich piece of whore
Oh yeah, daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy daddy
daddy daddy daddy
Your dady was rich man
I said you daddy was a rich man rich man rich man
Your daddy was a rich man, your daddy's fucking dead
Your daddy was a rich man rich man rich man
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
There's a Gulf War vet, dying a slow, cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness."
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops"
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
First World War veterans slaughtered, by General Eisenhower
You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange, tested on US souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations
I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be... FUCK YOU!
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think!
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
The constitution crumbles beneath the weight of fascists
No right to assemble - no free speech for the masses
Seattle '99 the mayors decree
Anti-W.T.O. statements are grounds for arresting!
Our leaders decry Tianamen
And dare to speak of freedom
As they unleash our cops on us
So... what's... the fuckin' difference
Behind locked doors in session
World sponsored corporate politicians
Structure policy to build more coporate strength
Fight strength - with strength
At news conferences they claim, "we listen"
while they lock out their own constituents
So we march on to raise our voice
Because we are left with no choice!!!
In China, Nike pays workers fifty cents a day
In the U.S., lawmakers give China "free trade"
Human rights-based sanctions just washed away
All night out on the streets
I got the back of all my friends
We never want to go back home
Never want the night to end
Because we want to be... FREE!
We want to be...FREE!
The schools that they send us to are prisons
The same can be said for their churches too
I don't want my mind or my arms tied in bondage
I don't want to be another cloned state tool
When I'm with my friends, when I'm at a show
Thats when everything is OK
Thats why I follow my heart every single day
watch your right watch your left watch the right watch the center and watch your back!
it's on the radio, it's on the TV news
conservatives and liberals
with ever clashing views but as the days go by
i can't tell which side is talking their left is in the center
and labeled "liberal doctrine"
they do nothing for you...
they do nothing for me... no!
they give us nothing to believe
watch your right watch your left watch the right watch the center and watch your back!
let the feds pass a law, that takes your rights away cause
"you gotta sacrifice if you want to stay safe!"
til the day you find the feds in your back pocket
locking you away for saying, "question", "think", or "stop it"
they do nothing for you...
they do nothing for me... no!
they give us nothing to believe
watch your right watch your left watch the right watch the center and watch your back!
joseph mccarthy and reagan
set the motherfuckin' stage for the right leanings that now grip the u.s.a.
they framed and jailed the reds
lost the keys to the cell set up
the capitalist machine to go in for the kill... yeah... yeah... yeah...
social divisions encouraged by the few - few!
those few in power - suckerin' suckers like you - you!
as corporate welfare, flows from troughs of the state - state!
yeah big business, takes more than their fair take - take!
but in the end it is suckers like you - you!
who buy that the poor, are givin' you the screw - screw!
can't you realize that it's just talk, talk, talk, talkin'...
like tax men at your door, fuckin' knockin' knockin' knockin'...
they call the us a free country well, it's not and you know it it's nothing but facism, capitalism, and fear they're lying and we're crying out to everyone here we can fight back we can fight back they're got us bowing on our knees we can stop them we can fight back we want anarchy! we won't take no we won't take we want anarchy! we will fight back we will fight back can't buy a beer, can't buy cigarettes but i can die fighting for that freedom that freedom that they're taken away we can fight back the taxes-every time you buy a beer you fuckin' pay them you give them all your money while you drink your life away if we are all united we can take back our lives while they stand divided we can fight them and their laws if we get up off our knees we can show them that we are people we can take back this "free" country we can have an anarchy there is freedom for all people they contradict this everyday there are laws against the cubans there are laws against the gays there is freedom of religion we can choose any of them all but the christians rule this country and the priests are above the law
If I had a lighter in hands
With some oily rags
Is that what it'd take
To wake you from your sleep?
Woke up from your American dreams
To be surrounded
Surrounded in flames!
You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
AND I WON'T STOP SCREAMING
UNTIL MINE IS HEARD!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
YEAH!
And if we blocked the streets
Everyday
Face down on the pavement
As we lay
You're angered
That you're five minutes late.
What happens next time
When we will stop you all day?
Yeah, next time
When we will stop you all day?
You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
AND I WON'T STOP SCREAMING
UNTIL MINE IS HEARD!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
and it's the same song, sung
Sung at the top of our lungs
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
All united, all as one, let's make a stand...
We've got a privilege in the power that we command !
So let's not drown in ignorance,
And let our strenght waste away...
As the richest nation in the world, we've got a responsibility !
Vieques, Puerto Rico, a pretectorate -- of the USA.
Part a home for native families, the rest...
A NAVY BOMBING RANGE !!
Shells misfired kill civilians there,
And napalm hangs in the island air.
But the government beats down protests against this misuse...
So...
STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE !!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...
STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE !!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...
I look into the eyes, of a dead island boy's face.
His (eyes) remind me of another's,
From a different time and place...
Where A-Bombs baked the ground,
Of Bikini's tropical lands.
Where a culture was erased,
Families misplaced,
BY A NAZI-ESQUE LIKE PLAN !!!
All done, in your name, by Uncle Sam...
So if we don't fight it, then we're guilty to !
So...
STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE !!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...
I think it's 'bout time that we had a change...
You walk past an activist, who is talking on the street
About political prisoners, locked up in your own home state
And you think just for a minute, you think just a second
Then you say, "That can't be true!
Cause I live in the land of the freedom... where no one gets the screw!"
You turn your face, you turn your back
You say, "That can't be true!"
You stay safe lost in your prefab world
Cause you're sure it won't happen to you
You're sure it won't happen to you
Just wait till it happens to you!
You’ve heard it every day, since the first day of your life
But you never stopped to think, what you heard was full of lies
You can't think just for a minute, can't think just for a second
Cause you're nothing but a tool
Whose thoughts are tailored and fashioned
Each night by the evening news
You turn your face, you turn your back
You say, "That can't be true!"
You stay safe lost in your prefab world
Cause you're sure it won't happen to you
You're sure it won't happen to you
Just wait till it happens to you!
You could stand on the street, talk 'til you're blue in the face
And they would not make you stop, cause you have no power base
But if Dan Rather got on the Evening News,
And said, "It’s time for revolution!"
The F.B.I. would fuck him up so bad
He’d wish he wasn't living!
They call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
And they call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
Yeah they call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
More to the truth it's a murderer, it's the land of the Enslaved!
You turn your face, you turn your back
You say, "That can't be true!"
You stay safe lost in your prefab world
Cause you're sure it won't happen to you
You're sure it won't happen to you
You’re sure it won’t happen to
Sure it won’t happen
Little boy solider Tommy Gun
He'd kill to play "peace keeper man"
It's a little game he learned from dad
His daddy was a "peace keeper" in Iraq
Pretending he's off solidering, in a distant far off land
He cocks his gun, he shoots you down
Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again, and again, and again
Teaching the children to murder
Sunday morning, off to church,
A red faced preacher sweating words
This fat old fuck goes on and on
Tommy learned a special lesson
"Thou shall love they neighbor,
And thou shall never kill,
Void in name in cash"
Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again, and again, and again
Teaching the children to murder
You're going to dream tonight little boy,
And in that nightmare you're going to wake up to think...
That's when you'll get it
They punish anyone, don't you know
That shows any sign of understanding
More than their rhetoric
Just like his dad, and his dad's dad before him
Tommy went off to fight in a war
And protect his people from an inhumane race,
From an out of sight threat, in a far away place
And just before Tommy got shot down, he stopped to think,
To ask himself, "Are their armies also made up of their poor?"
Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again, and again, and again
Murder again, and again, and again
you're walking down the street in the middle of the day the sun is shinning brightly everything is quite ok but then you hear this song, it makes you stop and yell out, "hey!" you might think that it is... but this is not a crass song you might think that it is but i'm telling you it ain't! although i will admit it sounds like something they might write it's a happy little ditty makes you stop and move you're feet you might think that this is... but this is not a crass song! masterpieces don't usually get written in a minute but this one took just seconds or even less time to pen it but don't be too amazed, 'cause it's just got one verse and chantin' your might think that this is... (read this line in your best cockney accent) ahh...right...it's not a crass song is it? the guitar riff is real savage and it ain't on all that on time the vocals are so cockney that they may just blow your mind and it's got made up words like "icklee", "zicklee", "vin", and "plime" you might think that this is... no! no! this is not a crass song! we like to play it in the morning like to play it in the night do yourself a favor matey, sing it instead of starting fights after only just one verse i'm telling you you'll feel all right you might think that this is... but this is not a crass song! play it when you're walking, walking down the street play it when you're riding on your bike or on your feet doesn't really matter 'cause it's really really neat you might think that this is... ahhh... sing it to your mommy, sing it to your dad sing it to your new girl friend or the one you just had...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
I did my best to make it in the world
I plowed by sweat in tears into the fertile
Generation, generation, generated what was needed
for supply to meet demand
The sun shone bright on the ancient range
Then the promise of the future turned the Neo-Liberal Plain
The people's voice shut up, shut down, abstain
Is it gonna take a martyr to end the charade?
They tell you that you're out of luck
While people fall they watch their profits rocket up
S.O.S., this is a global call
You better make a stand
You better make it now
Take back your rights from the IMF, World Bank and Monsanto
S.O.S., this is a global call
You better make a stand
You better make it now
Corporatocracy leads to profits for killers,
profits for killers, no!
Geneva to Washington, Cancun to Seoul
The Corporate Welfare State running out of control
The Corprocrats have got the guns, but their numbers are few
They can kill democracy, but they cannot kill the truth
(So!) Step out on the matrix of the corporate slave
(So!) Step into the world of the living wage
Not for one, not for two, not for three or four
But for every single citizen around the fucking world
The people in the fight of our lives
The spark of revolution in a farmers' suicide
S.O.S., this is a global call
You better make a stand
You better make it now
Take back your rights from the IMF, World Bank and Monsanto
S.O.S., this is a global call
You better make a stand,
You better make it now
Corporatocracy leads to profits for killers
Just a bunch of killers!
profits for killers
When they wage war on you, you lay asleep
When they poison your food, you choose to drink
There's poison in the well!
Yeah!
(Stand Up! Resist!)
Monsanto are killers, k-k-k-k-killers
(Stand Up! Resist!)
Syngenta are killers, k-k-k-k-killers
(Stand Up! Resist!)
The World Bank are killers, k-k-k-k-killers (Stand Up! Resist!)
(Stand Up! Resist!)
The WTO are killers, k-k-k-k-killers (Stand Up! Resist!)
It's a gut check of what you believe
A Global Pax Americana
Neo-con, neo-fascist blue print - USA hegemony
Charlatan war hawks, untried, untrue
Celebrate and exploit tragedy
To steal away control
And it's a gut check of what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Endless...
Endless violence, endless hatred
Endless empire tyranny
Will you make a stand for human dignity?
Or never ending hate?
It's a think tank, psycho and crazed
War profiteering membership - a world catastrophe
They've got a war plan that counts on you
to kill for their corporate empire
while they sit at home
And it's a gut check of what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Endless...
Endless violence, endless hatred
Endless empire tyranny
Will you make a stand for human dignity?
Are you going to...Fight Back!
Time to prove what you really believe
We gotta FIGHT BACK!
Until we win it all
We gotta FIGHT BACK!
Will you heed the call?
The Neo-Fascist race to war
The PNAC plan to rule the world
It's a gut check of what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Are you going to...
And it's a gut check of what you believe
Will you stand up for democracy?
or a New American Century?
Endless...
Endless violence, endless hatred
Endless empire tyranny
Will you make a stand for human dignity?
go! we were just hanging on the corner, after skating for a few we were just killing time looking for something new then someone came 'long with a guitar, and we just started to play and we sang clash songs and the songs of our lives until late into the night that's youth...that's all...that's all!!! that's all...that's all!!! that's youth...that's all...that's all!!! that's all...that's all!!! we'd only been friends for a short time, but in just an hour or two it was like we'd been friends our entire lives though and i was so in love with you, but not sure if i should say it but then i thought, "yeah, i'm scared and i don't know if i should, but i'll do it anyway!" that's youth...that's all...that's all!!! that's all...that's all!!! that's youth...that's all...that's all!!! that's all...that's all!!! when all you hear is that, "you can't," or "give up," or "you're a fool" and you're so sick of all the in crowd and trying to be cool and still you don't, still you don't know what to do... but in the end you do your own thing, and you tell 'em to get screwed!!! that's youth...that's all...that's all!!! that's all...that's all!!! that's youth...that's all...that's all!!! that's all...that's all!!!
i thought i'd begun to see a change but the more things change, the more they stay the same back stabbing and name calling, the trade marks of your act you talk and talk of unity, but divide with your attacks (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..." all us kids, we try to make a change some kids start a band, others start a zine you, no matter what your path you throw a curve in what could be achieved, then give up and move onto some other thing (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..." take a break from your fights, try to open up your mind tonight when you feel that's complete then we can tackle this society! you may not like everything in life i do... but that doesn't mean, i'm not trying to change the same problems as you (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..."

i want to tell you a little story 'bout a party that went all right,
but went all wrong i want to tell you a little story 'bout a party in this song...
it happened back in '93,
in the pittsburgh punk rock scene an event that will go down,
in infamy it was all the master plan,
of one legendary punk rock kid his name was "spaz", S-P-A-Z...
an eviction notice sent to his house sparked off an idea,
"i should have one last party al my place..."
so off he set with his master plan, the invitations in his hand read,
"you're invited to my house destruction party!"
spaz's house destruction party,
it was chaos with no end if you were crazy enough
to make the house destruction party then you know
you're lucky that you lived we played there st. patrick's day,
with submachine and the bad genes in a basement full of debris
from kicked in doors, broken glass,
kicked in walls the place was trashed the house was now missing
its support beams the bathrooms had no toilets or sinks left
in them there was nothing in the kitchen left to break aut
rotten spray painted on walls,
drunk punks passed out in the halls and this was just the second night,
or a three-day long party the cops showed up
and all the kids went piling out the back i remember running away
and hiding out in the lot behind the squirrel hill mellon bank the cop said,
"i want to speak to someone who lives here!"
and this punk kid said she did he asked,
"is this the condition this house has always been in?"
You want to save the world?

I was talking to this girl before a show
Does she like me? I don't know
I asked her to go out on Saturday night
She said "OK that would be alright"
Then she left she had to go to work
She gave me her number she said, "I feel like a jerk."
I asked her if she'd dance for a song
She said she'd be dancing all night long
She's my little go-go dancer
She's my little go-go dancer
She's my little go-go dancer
She's my little fast kids Go-Go-Go
She didn't tell me she danced in a cage
Hanging high above the stage
I worked my way closer with a push and a shove
Before I knew it I was in love
I waited every second until Saturday night
I took her to dinner things were going alright
Then we went out dancing went to have some fun
We danced and we danced - danced all night long
She's my little go-go dancer
She's my little go-go dancer
She's my little go-go dancer
She's my fast kids Go-Go-Go
Go go go go go go dancer
Go go go go go go dancer
She's my little go-go dancer

Seattle was a riot, they tried to pin on us But we didn't show up, with gas and billy clubs An un-armed mass of thousands, just trying to be heard But there are no world leaders- that want to hear our words. Ohhh. Why must we riot Why must we protest Just to be heard - by the world? The World Bank's greed and lies, digs graves in 3rd world lands And fills them with the remains of exploited workers Or displaced native peoples, and destroyed ecosystems Under the guise of progress, relief, and tech assistance. Ohhh. Since the dawn of history -the few who own control Have bent and rewrote history-how they want it to go They try to control what we learn-and take away our rights Cause when the masses round the world unite That's a force they can not fight We'll fight for our We'll fight for our We'll fight for our We'll fight for our Rights! Sitting in what was designated the "Cooperation Zone" by Seattle Police Sergeant Richard Goldstein They sat heads bowed- listening as the police methodically shot pepper spray- one eye at a time into the eyes of their passive brothers and sisters Whore like police- playing judge, jury, and executioner for their pimp like bosses in the World Band and W.T.O. This is not justice. This is not the role of, The Servants of the People Such tyranny brings ruling classes crashing to the ground and contemporary societies to an end.
They use the flag to control us
Brainwash us to be their patrotic slaves
Programs our minds by controlling what we learn
The only difference from the nazis is that
Someone tried to stop them
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
The government says they're working for us
Just as long as we increase their pay
But the minute they get into office we're a has-been
A yesterday
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
The red stands for the blood of all the people
We've slain
The white for this racist, bigoted foundation
The blue for your arayan eyes -- all empty
Empty because you're taught to bow down to the man
"Fly that flag, that flag of freedom"
"Do what you can for your country"
Go and fight their wars for them
"They're not following in our footsteps,
KILL THEM!"
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
They call that being a patriot
I just call it ignorant
If you don't fight to make things better
Then you're the one betraying the country
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
RED WHITE AND BRAINWASHED
I've never seen you on the streets of this town
I've never seen you just hanging around
But you still tell me that you know me...
I've never seen you walking out on my street
I've never seen you in the cafes where we eat
But you still tell me that you know me...
Well all I know, is you don't about me
And all I know, is you don't know anything
Except how to pull the wool over the public's eyes
Except how to tell us lies while you look us in the eye
Except how to play the system, how to play the game,
That lines your pockets with dough while the rest of us slave
I've never seen you when you weren't on tv
I've never seen you when you weren't out to be seen
But you still tell me that you know me...
I've never seen you in a cheap old used car
I've never seen you be who you claim you are
But you still tell me that you know me
Well all I know, is you don't about me
And all I know, is you don't know anything
The only time you've ever been on my street
The only time you've ever shaken my hand
The only time you've ever made a hard choice
The only time you've ever heard the people's voice
Is when you needed something, when you needed something
When you were looking for a vote, when you were looking for a vote
The only time you've ever seen the streets of this town
The only time you've ever been around Is at a photo oppurtunity
The only time you'll be out walking my street
The only time you've'll see the cafes where we eat Is before an election date
Cause all I know, is you don't care about me

As I look from this stage at the hundreds of kids in this room with me,
The truth is so plain and so obvious, I just can't help to see...
That all of us, we are one and the same,
Only different in our ages and our names !!!
How many times have you heard that you're a bore or you're no good ?
I know that all of us have been there, that's why we're all here joined as one !
We don't need that shit, this ain't no punk rock clique !
We're as one at the show, and one after the show.
We don't need that shit, this ain't no punk rock clique !
Acceptance at the show, and then after the show...
Society says that we're crazy, with utopian unreal goals...
But we're figthing for something we truly believe,
And all I can say his I'm glad we do,
We do...
And they can say what they want,
Because our hearts are TRUE !!!
What we've had through these years has been so unforgettable...
and what we've had through these years has been so unbelievable !
We don't need that shit, this ain't no punk rock clique !
We're as one at the show, and one after the show.
We don't need that shit, this ain't no punk rock clique !
We're equal at the show, and then after the show...
slaughtered by the hands of a butcher the hands of the butcher were the hands of a "doctor" and these are the golden days that you want to bring back? making it illegal won't make it go away the rich will fly to far off lands, the poor will stay and pray that their back alley abortion is clean and safe you can't make it go away, so why endanger womyn's lives? because the issue here for you isn't life... it's control! control of what we do and say but you'll never gain control-control-control is to value life, to move a factory to, the place that you can most easily fuck those laboring for you? that isn't what i call a high value on life and yet that is the policy of those on the right who back the brainwashed jesus jumpers with the cash flow for the fight but we won't let you control our lives we're not gonna be, herded like your flock of sheep i value life more than anything... and your false morals, can't do a thing to brainwash me i'll never be your's-your's-your's and there's no justice, in a system, that's run by greedy old men, who want to control our lives there's no justice in a system, that's run by greedy old men, who want to control our lives you're not gonna control our lives anymore...
A brand new history
Slyly and quickly
Sparkles in your eyes
Hope your not missing
The flash points/sign posts
Etching the future
From here
Ancient ancestors transmitting via pool formed from rainfall
Where my reflection stares back at me and says
As the sun sets bright over ancient earth and disappears from view
The spirit of the world will rise up from the dis again
Our voices sing in union
Lifless, soulless, secret abyss
Plotting the worlds doom
Production and consumption wakes the sleeping world to sing again
Our voices sing in union
From african coasts to australian mainland
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
From the american plains to the sea of japan
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread
As evil hacks and rips at every corner of the world
The peoples voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union
To implement a Paul Hawken-Esque model for the world
The people voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union
The Arabian sea to the coast of chile
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
The plateau of tibet to the bay of biscay
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread
Rethink... Fucking dig in!
Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!
Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert eugenic errors, go!
The sun sets, the light fades
The blood red on an empty street
It's not night, it's not day
It's no more, for an unfortunate soul who
Witnessed his life violently erased,
From the horror of the human race
Bright futures exchanged for profit, living half alive
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert eugenic errors, go!
In life now pay respects to your blood
Those in the vast of the great
Unknown, unite there, your heart's one
in moments you'll never forget, yeah
History lessons direct from the grave
Lost souls of the lost divide
Liberate your generation, living, rotting flesh
Sing a hymn for the dead
Because in death as in life
we are one in the same
Sing a hymn for the world
To avert eugenic errors
Call out tyranny!
A spark of dissent can light a fury of flame
Call out to be free!
Sound off! Be the voice of a generation
Dissent! You've got a choice to make
Sound off! Be the voice of a generation
Dissent! You've got a choice to make
Strip away! Be the voice of a generation
Strip away! You've got a choice to make
Cut away! Cut away!
Strip away! Strip away!
Cut away! Strip away your chains!

I don't want your fucking dogma,
I don't believe in what you preach,
I don't want your fucking bullshit,
You infect everyone you teach.
You offer prepacked salvation,
For the guilty chosen few,
You say we're all just sinners,
Say it to the altar boy you screw.
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!
Ignoring real problems,
That you've hidden in denial,
Living in the past,
Ruining people's lives.
You talk about family values,
Well, I'll tell you that's a joke.
You talk about family values,
While on some young boy's cock you choke.
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!
Treating women like they're servants,
Like they're baby factories.
Treating gays like some sickness,
You're so fucking diseased!
You say I can't beat off or screw,
Or else I'm going to hell,
I'll beat off right in your fucking face,
You think I fucking care?
You make me sick with what you do.
Lies and guilt and hate, are what you spew.
You do it over and over and over again.
A bunch of punks hangin' out on the streets before a show
Patty wagon pulls up -instinct- "Run Man, let's just go!"
Cop chases them through the streets and then they go inside
They run into a show where maybe they can hide
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
He hides just standing in the crowd there's nowhere he can run
The cop comes up behind him and cracks him with a gun
Drags his bloody ass outside and throws him to the ground
"There's nowhere left to take you boy you're already downtown"
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!
But the cops can do no wrong
They can kill, they can rape, they can do what they want,
But the cops can do no wrong
We've got to fight, take back the right,
The cops are just like Hitler's Third Reich, do what they want
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE FUCK POLICE BRUTALITY!

State official talks of freedom
THEY-TALK!
In this country that we live in
THEY-TALK!
Free to be harassed and be beaten by the pigs
YOUR RIGHTS? NO RIGHTS!
Till you're fucking broken, crippled, or until you're fucking DEAD!
YEAH!
They pass laws unfair to gays
THEIR-WORK
And separatist laws to keep the non-whites in their place
THEIR-WORK
Family values as a smoke screen blowing in your face
THEIR TRUTH? NO TRUTH!
Family values isn't something that shouldn't be based on hate
Based on hate...
Justice presides over them, late into the night,
A blind fold covering their eyes, but something isn't right...
Under their arms, there are shackles on her legs
And the hands that once held up her scales are bound,
Are bound in chains!
Bound in chains...
And behind their closed door, they conspire through the night
MORE WORK? SICK WORK!
And they won't stop until this nation is all straigh and all white!
NO!!
First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out.
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out.
Next they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out.

This is autonomy- My American Dream
Stepped over on the street - Stars and stripes blinding me
Their contagious air we breath - My American Dream
Classism the black plague - Will mark your grave

A child Darfur refugee - Home of the free and brave
The ghosts of war who will not sleep - These truths let freedom ring
The poor who drown in bigotry - Will mark your grave
This is the second time, yeah, it's the second time, we will not fall in line,
No you can't stop this exodus
No you won't stop this exodus.
No you can't stop this exodus

He thinks because he's got spikes on his
Leather, that he's the punkest, he thinks
he's better! He walks around with his
Nose in the air, the only thing bigger
Than his ego is his hair
He thinks that uniform he's wearing is a
Good excuse for his snobby glaring
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene
He thinks that uniform he's wearing
Makes him a punk, yeah
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene
I don't know when punk became a uniform
I always thought that uniforms were
For the army
But I guess he's right he's got punk rock
Hair, he paid a fortune for his gear
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene
He thinks that uniform he's wearing,
Makes him a punk, yeah
Davey destroyed the punk scene
Davey destroyed the punk scene
We've got to try to stick together! Oi!
Oi! We're not supposed to fight each
other Oi! Oi! Stand against the government
but stand up for ourselves Oi! Oi!
If this ignorance continues punk will be
Lost on book shelves Oi! Oi!
What happened to punk rock kids uniting,
now we're competing, now we're fighting
He drives the younger kids away
Sacrificing us for his image, punk rock
Kids will pay

She’s always askin' him what he wants to do
How many times does he have to say, he's fucking confused?
He’d run away but there’s nowhere else to run
Why do they try to conform us? we just wanna have fun
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
"Why don't you go to school? You need to grow up."
They’re so infatuated like growing up is something you shoot up
Some girls my age they want to have a baby
Well I actually don’t wanna get married... they're fucking crazy
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Adults like to bring us up to be and act like them
If we don't act alike, discard and try again
There is no room deep in their eyes for an individual
“Conform” and “stand in line” make sure you fit the mould
It’s alright to grow old, to mature and become wise
Too bad all they seem to want is to die in ignorance
Straighten your back, straighten your face and lose your grin
It’s time to be serious, think hard but always give in
You are the inferior, open your eyes and close your mouth
Just grow up to be just like me, watch and follow with no doubt
Train children like a dog, try not to get in the way
When I talk you should obey, try not to get in the way
It’s not a war, what are you fighting for?
Life’s not a war, there's no need to conform
We need help but not everyday
No need, no need to use force
We need help but not in every single way
We don't need utter control
"Why don't you go to school? you need to grow up"
Like growing up is something that you just shoot up
All of us, we'd run away, but where would we go?
Just loosen your grip on our leash you don't have to let go
We gotta fight, fight, fight, fight for our youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Wo...oh...oh confused youth
Recruited by the NSA, my orders to talk smooth and straight
If heads of state try to say "No", I lovingly told them "Fuck you!"
The jackals lose when I cannot (get through)
There is a windfall of profit to (get to)
You better deal or we're gonna take you down
And it goes on and on and on and it goes on and on it goes
The iron fist for blood and empire, will make you move
And it goes on and on and on and it goes on and on it goes
The iron fist for blood and empire, will make you move
So dance with me
Arbenz, Mossadeq, Allende, Roldos, Torrijos, Aristide
Elected democratically, all snuffed out by the CIA
The truth will cause your heart to seize
Shed light on the true enemy
And it goes on and on and on and it goes on and on it goes
The iron fist for blood and empire, will make you move
And it goes on and on and on and it goes on and on it goes
The iron fist for blood and empire, will make you move
What have we done? (You don't know)
Until you care (You never will)
What have we done? (You don't know)
Until you care (You never will)
The crimes, the murder, unjust, unheard of
The crimes, the murder, what have we done?
And it goes on and on and on and it goes on and on it goes
The iron fist for blood and empire, will make you move
And it goes on and on and on and it goes on and on it goes
The iron fist for blood and empire, will make you move
He knew he was guna get it bad
when his dad bailed him outa jail
lead him from the station by a handful of his hair
Said "I dont know what to do with ya boy,
I just dont understand,
what the hell makes you act like this?"
And lookin back this lost punk said, he said
"i found it dad,
i found the meaning of life...
Your only born so you can die!"
so you can die
She was showered in money
she was showered in jewels
but her dad beat on her every day and night
and there was nothing she could do
she cut her wrists at 17
everyone wondered why
she had it all she was rich and pretty
but alone each night she'd cry
she found it now
she found the meaning of life
your only born so you can die
so you can die
yeah
you find it now
you find the meaning of life
your only born so you can die
you find it now
you find the meaning of life
your only born so you can die
GO.......OH YEAH.............GO
he knows he'll be alone tonight,
while contemplating, "What can i do?"
The lack of hope leaves him feeling violent,
it's not that he's looking for a fight,
it's just... he don't know where to turn,
more stress than help,
from home and school,
and on the streets his life's out of control...
Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
She never even had a chance,
mental, sexual, physical violence
not once she heard an encouraging word,
just the phrase, "you better shut up!" and "you're going nowhere!"
her sad stories,
all left untold
so her life became something,
so out of control...
Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
don't know where to turn
don't know what to do...
Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
Politicians talk it up,
about their love, for the USA's youth
But when it comes time to put up,
their rhetoric falls back on every excuse
every excuse, every excuse...
Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
don't know where to turn
don't know what to do...
Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war:
Listen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our lives.
It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated.
We need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth.
First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you.
Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you.
Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits
fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job,
they are heartless murderers who enjoy killing!
Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them
with all disseminated information.
Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information
this can be done through state run media.
Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information.
Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run.
Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different.
Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine.
THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR.
THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY.
Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party.
Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between.
One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor.
Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions.
This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom."
This can also be achieved by the use of flags.
Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity.
It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god's will" or "god bless our nation."
Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers
have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.
Make it clear that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill.
Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instability
and then offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort the public's fears.
Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.
We are not countries. We are not nations. We are not religions.
We are not gods. We are not weapons. We are not ammunition. We are not killers.
We will NOT be tools.
Mother fuckers
I will not die
I will not kill
I will not be your slave
I will not fight your battle
I will not die on your battlefield
I will not fight for your wealth
I am not a fighter
rats, monkeys, mice - teach 'em little tricks stay far from creativity, and from politics cause the multinationals need a solid work force or their growing profit margins will be wiped out at the source conform to the status quo, set rules hold your mind into their fucking tool reciting back their facts and numbers - that don't make you smart there's much more to intelligence - and thinking for yourself would be a start it would be a start... start! pledge allegiance to a flag of which you're taught no history not mexico, granada, panama, or middle east but they're just a mere fraction of this country's shady past skeletons locked in the closet and i doubt they'll be the last "national interest, " defined for you... but who's it really serve? who's getting screwed? your prison warden is your school training you to be a social screw stage a jailbreak, swim against the flow show those motherfuckers what you know! i feel like i am suffocating i feel my life depreciating i know their teachings are riddled with lies, distortions, shit! it kills me knowing the masses are so brainwashed by it - brainwashed by it!
The kids sing out in defiance
Against a world that has forgotten them
And the media ask, "why are the kids so angry?"
Afterwards they'll go back home,
To their uncaring fathers and misunderstanding mothers
And they'll dream of a time when they're back again
With all their friends at another show
Where they will sing, "These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget"
Sixteen, and all alone,
Searching for a place to call her home
Thinking about a bottle or maybe even worse,
But she passed on self-destruction when she found a better way
At the show, with the kids, the excitement of change
And singing along with every kid in the crowd,
She breathed in deep, and she sang out loud, "These are the days...
These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget"
He was never called cool, no, he never fit in,
Cause he thought for himself and he went against the trends,
But the abuse at school, was finally setting in...
'Til he found a place to go, with the
Other punk rockers at the punk rock show
And shoulder to shoulder with his new allies,
He forgot about school, as tears came to his eyes...
And he sang, "These are the days...
These are the days...
These are the days we will never forget"
Singing under the corner light, my six string in my hand,
Playing my songs all by myself, thinking...
"No one out there could possibly understand"
But it wasn't too long before I realized I was wrong,
And I found myself, singing from a stage,
A chorus of voices singing along...
And we sing... "These are the days...
These are the days...
LOOK BACK... on history, nothing much has changed
THOUSANDS... of soldiers of all countries, all marching the same
Every nation's leader says that our side is right
Every nation's leader says the time has come to fight
But they use the common people to settle their scores
IT'S TIME THAT WE REFUSE TO FIGHT IN ANY OF THEIR WARS!
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill
For you
For you!
JOIN NOW... the ranks of all nations who refuse to go to war
REFUSE... to pull the trigger of a gun for leaders 'round the world
I'd rather fight to spread some tolerance & unity
Than buy into their nationalistic brainwashing
Killing mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, common human beings
Not savages but people, like you, like me!
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill
For you!
We're looking for a few good men
We're looking for a few good womyn
Who are not afraid to fight against tyranny
But who refuse to fight....with tyranny...tyranny
(refuse!)
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
We're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill
For you
It's in the paper every day
I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah
Another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate
But short
Short on compassion
Short on humanity
Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock,
"do we even have a chance?"
I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human.
It's time to prove it.
This is a plea for peace (world peace)
To the oppressors of the world and to
To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers,
to the everday citizen
Greed, envy, fear, hate-- the competition has to stop.
When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up
Set our differences aside and never look back, no
I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human
It's time to prove it.
Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the hatred? (hey, hey)
Violence.. fighting... killing...dying.. aaaaaah!!
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream
we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join
hands and sing
"Free at last, free at last.
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human
It's time to prove it.
We are all human
It's time to prove it.
