First topic message reminder :

"You'd Do The Same"

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
You'd do the same

"You Are Fired (Take This Job)"

You're fired.
You stupid fucking piece of shit.
You're fired.
You're nothing but a hypocrite.
You're fired.
Conformist fucking chickenshit.
Douse the dream in kerosene.
You're fired.
You only sing so phones can ring.
You're fired.
Here's something your phone can sing.

You're fired.
Fuck this, fuck that, fuck compromising.
Watch it all fall apart.
Murder the beast and feast on the heart.
Watch the industry just fall apart.
Off with the head and the body discard.

"This Is The First Night"

This is the first night,
of the rest of our lives.
I can't help wonder,
"How is it we're still alive?"

Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives.
Oh Yeah, and I said,
welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives.

We stayed up all night long,
laughing, singing in the streets.

The Clash, Ramones, The Pogues, our voices hoarse,
our bodies weak and ready for sleep.
Lean against me, wipe your bloodshot eyes as I wipe mine.

And from these rooftops, we'll watch the sun rise.
Ain't this the life? Yeah it's the first night,
of the rest of our lives.

I can't help wonder,
"How is it we're still alive?"
Welcome to the first night of the rest of our lives.

With just a half tank of gas, 150 miles to go, no cash, no food.
We turned the engine off, every time that we went down hill
and it's on with the show.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry?
All I know is that I am alive, I'm really alive.
WE heard "You there!" and jumped from the train,
ran up the tracks, all the while you screaming back,
"Kiss my ass!"

We're living our lives, I'm livin' and yeah
and I'm doin' fine, Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm doing fine!!!

"No War Without Warriors (How Do You Sleep?)"

I point the finger at you.
Scream until my face is blue.
But you still hale everything.
I point the finger at you.
The Beau monde through and through.
You still hate everything.
Turn the lights on.
Watch them scatter.
Exterminate the idle chatter.
I point the finger at you.
Until you're cold, dead and blue.
But you still hate everything.
If you're right it feels good to be wrong.
Raised fist and a fuck you song.
If you're right it feels good to be wrong.
Slaughtering the pigs.
How do you sleep?
I point the finger at you.
You don't have a fucking clue.
But you still hate everything;
I point the finger at you.
Doesn't matter what I do.
Cause you still hate everything.
Turn the lights on.
Watch them scatter.
Exterminate the idle chatter.
I point the finger at you.
Lie and lie until it's truth.
But you still hate everything.
If you're right it feels good to be wrong.
Raised fist and a fuck you song.
If you're right it feels good to be wrong.
Slaughtering the pigs.
How do you sleep?
No change.
No shift.
No rest.
There is no war without warriors.
How do you sleep?
How do you plead?

"When All The Lights Go Out"

One billion workers stand up from their chairs.
Their faces no longer struck with their fears.
Attack/Attack.
Stabbed in the back.
Disgraced/Disgraced.
Traitors trade face to face.
Revolution... the engine for history.
When all the lights go out.
When all the world is in doubt.
When all the goods cease to move.
I won't be alone.
When all eh swords become plows.
When all the fields are afoul.
When all the cogs cease to turn.
I won't be alone.
Punching the clock, stabbing the boss.
We don't need the CEO's they need us.
Attack/Attack.
Outsourced for a hack.
Disgraced/Disgraced.
Displace and replace.
Proletarians of the world unite;
you have nothing to lose but your chains.
We are not numbers.
We are names.
We won't be alone.
We are not crime reports.
We are history.
We won't be alone.
We are not folklore.
We are culture.
We won't be alone.
We are not human resources.
We are human beings.
I won't be....We won't be alone.

"On Independence Day"

I saw right through your eyes.
I saw right through your guise.
Every word that left you lips was
just a covert disguise to hide your absent mind.
You live and breathe.
Sleep and drink.
Beg and plead.
Blind, diseased.
No water can wash the blood off your hands.
On Independence Day.
Traded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Exchanged for Vietnamese lives.
Bombs filled the Cambodian skies.
In East Timor you stood up for the wrong side.

"The Old Guard"

The time has come to say goodnight.
The time has come to say goodbye to the old guard.
Goodnight.
Goodbye.
Witness the setting sun.
The tables have been turned.
We will not suffer their reprise.
A brave new voice rings out.
Intense, fearless, devout.
A listless body now revived.
Old stories fit with retreads.
Half-truths with truth left unsaid.
Each time their lips moved we heard lies.
So now it's time to say goodbye...
To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye.
To the old guard, goodnight, goodbye.
Witness the setting sun.
This century's crash and burn.
Autocracy dethroned by ire commissar doused in fire.
Make note a million times.
Their class war, deceit, lies.
Their compassion laced with despise....

All of the hatred they bred.
All the division they spread.
We always knew they lived on lies.
So now it's time to say goodbye....

Bear witness to this setting sun.
The dawning of a new age has begun.
From east to west we watch this setting sun.
The dawning of a new age has begun.
Now it's time, to say goodbye.

"Antithetic To The Cure"

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
Anti- anti- antithetic to the cure!

"Bring It To An End"

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've got to bring it to an end...

"Class Plague"

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 [x4]

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 [x4]

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
revolution, its time to make the rich pay

"Daddy Was A Rich Man (Part 2)"

You think your dad was fuckin' great
You always told me, "He's fuckin' great"
I am gonna buy you this
And I am gonna buy you that
Your daddy was a fuckin' piece of shit

Your daddy was a rich man, your daddy's fuckin' dead [x2]

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, all the time
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, what did you buy?
Your fuckin' daddy was a fuckin' prick
Your fuckin' dad was a mother fuckin piece of shit

Your daddy was a rich man, your daddy's fuckin' dead [x2]
Your daddy was a rich man
Daddy was a rich man [x2]
Daddy was a rich man [x3]
No!
Bitch!
Dead!

"Equality Song"

This is a song about equality,
If you are never givin the chance,
Then you are never able to show you can succeed

This is a song about equality,
This is a song about equality,
This is a song about equality,
This is a song about equality,
If you are never givin the chance,
Then you are never able to show you can succeed!

This is a song about equality,
If you are never givin the chance,
Then you are never able to show you can succeed! No!

"Fuck The Pope"

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.
Take your god and shove it up your ass!

"Protest Song"
(feat. The Donots)

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
is the closest that they've ever been to the people
you've been to our shows
you've sung our songs
now we're asking you to add to each chorus you've sung and
protest, against, injustice, state terror
on the streets of the world
for the disempowered
you've sung at our shows
cheered right over wrong
now it's time to hit the streets
back up those words you've sung
because our voices alone this time will not get it done
looking to stop a rogue regime?
well the first ones that we must confront is WASHINGTON, DC!
the bush "terror war", UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNCONSCIENABLE
we refuse to let him kill, in our name for oil
we know their game
know they're corrupt
it's up to us to hit the streets,time to take our rights back!
protest, against, injustice, state terror
on the streets of the world
for the disempowered
you've sung at our shows
cheer ed right over wrong
now it's time to hit the streets
back up those words you've sung
because our voices alone this time will not get it done
because the people, united will get it done
protest, against injustice, state terror
on the streets of the world for the disempowered [x4]

"Seattle Was A Riot"

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.

"Want An Anarchy"
