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
You can spoon my eyes out,

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!

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!)

Post-war 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!

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
Leonard Peltier
Father Roy Bourgeois
The Angola 3
The MOVE 9
Ken Sara Wiwa
Lori Brenson
Like Nelson Mandela
Keep hope alive... KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!
Brick by brick, wall by wall...
We're gonna free Mumia Abu-Jamal
Brick by brick, wall by wall...
We're gonna free Mumia Abu-Jamal
Brick by brick, wall by wall...
FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL!!!
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
Making the president a TERRORIST!
Making the U.S.A. a TERRORIST!
U.S. tax dollars fund, terror, terror, terror... TERROR!!!
our thoughts and our lives controlled by pocket books of rich politicians, like a rich daddy warbux they pay for the deaths of those who speak of revolution while they keep us at each other's throats while we still pay their tax notes revolting against the few the rich, the bigoted few they pay for the deaths of those so we're revolting against the few our thoughts and our lives controlled by pocket books of rich politicians, like a rich daddy warbux they pay for the deaths of those who speak of revolution while they keep us at each other's throats while we still pay their tax notes stand up don't fall don't live don't die for them revolting... revolting against the few... the few...

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're having fun
Tryin to find where the bad guys are

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

drink beer all night
and molest the little girls

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
She was a 10 at 2:00

At 10:00 AM she was a FRIGHT
Some old guy bought me some alcohol
We got druck at the mall

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

(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...
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
