(Joan Jett/Paul Westerberg)
I had it made, I never strayed
From a course that somebody else laid
I clenched my fists, I never miss
One nite (one nite) you find that ya can't turn back
So it's goodbye to the past
Here it comes, here it comes feel it comin'
Backlash backlash backlash
Oh yea, it's too bad now it's a backlash
Your time ain't long you don't belong
Maybe so but you hope that they're wrong
Thin skin gets thick it happens quick
Like a baby turn her very first trick
Hold tight (hold tight) hold tight for the ride of your life
And the lovers go by so fast
Here it comes, here it comes feel it comin'
Backlash backlash backlash
Used to love me used to care (do you care?) used to want me
Here it comes, here it comes I guess that's fair
Now, do you love me, do you care, do you want me
One nite (one nite) we find we're outta, outta time
Here it comes, here it comes here it comes a c'mon
Backlash backlash backlash

They're shifting the blame for the problems away from the people who made them. Pointing the figures and fingers at those who have already found the solutions. The squatters who took themselves in, reducing the homeless and using the homes. The travelers who said 'goodbye' to it all, and 'hello' to anyone else on that road. The kids are ramraiding their boredom, reproducing themselves on TV, with no aims or future before them. The future got faster to see. "They" are the headline writers. "They" are the faces on screens. "They" are the seekers of status. "They" are the words in a speech. Prepared for the total rejection of all that they say they can do. After the strikes and the backlash the people will want something new. But instead of reversing the process and listening out for ideas, they'll turn the attention on lifestyles, untouched by their stirring up fear. And divert the anger and protest away from their actions-in-actions, fictions, denial, contradictions, image-forming, status-building, power-games, names with titles, mind-games; diverting the blame by diverting the problem. "Yes, but now look at THIS situation." Here we all go attacking the minority. Same old thing, but a different label. Pretty soon we'll all be in one or another, dividing the majority is keeping them stable. It's basically a case of replacing the reality of people living out their own variety with misinformation about the state of the nation, being down not to the Government, but a lack of morality. The only morality they understand is a belief in control of the status quo. Anyone succeeding in escaping these things becomes a target when the fuses blow. Me, I've never squatted nor lived on site, but I've seen enough to know what's right. I've watched both sides of this lifestyle fence, and it's more than politics, it's common sense. Nobody does what they don't want to. The state exists to promote itself. Given alternatives of what you could do, you wouldn't need the sate, and nor would anybody else!

One nite (one nite) we find we're outta, outta time
Here it comes, here it comes here it comes a c'mon

Boom, here we're back up on stage again
Here comes the crushead set with the big noise attack
We're gonna shout out loud what we're talking about
Here comes the beat right in the dancing crowd
So people in the house we want you to spread
Under gods command we're gonna raise the dead
Now open your ears all you maniacs
Get on your feet and listen to the track
Mr. devil leave your base
Here comes the backlash in the middle of your face
Mr devil live your base it's god to whom we give the praise
We diss you we beat you we piss on your feet
Get away with your temptation and with your greed

Mesmorized by your beauty
I feel powerless in your gaze ostracized
Treated unfairly at night I dream of blood filled days
Because in this world no one has your back
A lifetime of devotion all I feel is had
What's the price of freedom what's the price of integrity
Should I suffer for your sins
And live this life of agony
Because in this world
A lifetime is devotion
And all I feel is had
A generation of apathy
With folk heros from infamy
Empty lives now have direction
Just one bullet changed perception
Kicked and beaten for so long pushed around
And told I'm wrong
With you in my sights
I'm free no longer fear but strength you see

I hate what you've become.
Wake up!
There's more to life than what you know.
Wake up!
This is your wake up call.
What you've been searching for.
Where's the courage you speak of?
Think before you believe.
Who are you to tell us that we're wrong?
Since when is it right to look down on the masses.
Who the fuck do you think you are?
I've kept it clean until now, but it's time to turn the tables.
Our superstitions will get the best of us.

I've been around the block, I've heard all the talk
No guilty conscious, just empty promises
We expect a change, but embrace the same
When we finally come to realize, we'll be looking for the one to blame
Brace for the backlash
That's when we make our attack
The lesser of two evils isn't a choice
Repeating what they say isn't a voice
Bigger cages, longer chains
No longer satisfied with minor gains
Brace for the backlash
You'd better watch your back
I wish they'd left us with a choice, another way
But, I can feel the grip around our necks tighten everyday
Cut the funding, fuck the poor, war isn't free
And when things really get bad, we'll just blame the enemy
No one votes, they just complain
And we're stuck with the same problems again
Yes, all power is corrupt

The evil lives on in the United Nations.
Lied to in my public education.
Evolution's the joke they hand you,
Injecting young minds with their propaganda.
It's an attempt to control the mind using ignorance to breed the blind.
Masses oblivious to capitol crime.
Stripping our freedom one day at a time.
Social Security's excuse to be listed.
I'm not a number or a statistic.
The System's corrupt.
I will resist.
I grab the mic and raise my fist come on.
All the odds stacked against me being free.
I will not embrace your New World Order.
The question lives on what can we do to fight it?
Dowse their mindset with truth and light it, smite it.
I've got my sword of resistance.
All through time the truth remains consistent.
I won't bow down to your one world religion.
No compromise, I stand by my decision.
Waste no more time,
Every day is a mission to wake up the masses who bow in submission.
All of the sleeping, all of the dead, wake them,
Revive them and march straight ahead.
The system's corrupt.
I will resist.
