Because if - we don't- fuckin' do it - then no one's going to!

Do you care what's - going on?

"Bring Out Your Dead"

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
Suppression

"A Start"

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!

"Until It Happens To You"

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
Sure it won’t happen to you!

"America Got It Right"

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!!!

IT SEEMS AMERICA MUST HAVE GOTTEN IT RIGHT!

"Smash It To Pieces"

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,
get on your feet!

"No Borders, No Nations"

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
No flags, no patriots

"Gifts From America: With Love, The U.S.A."

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
ARE TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES!

"The Freaks, Nerds, & Romantics"

[Originally by Bouncing Souls]

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

We're Gonna Play No Matter What They Say

"Ever Fallen In Love"

[Written by Pete Shelley]

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
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

"911 For Peace"

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!!

[excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:]
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.
We are all human...

"What's The Difference?"

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!

[Chorus]
Our leaders decry Tianamen
And dare to speak of freedom
As they unleash our cops on us
So... what's... the fuckin' difference

[Bridge]
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
When our lawmakers are owned by multinational's money

[Chorus]

"Mumia's Song"

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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
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 [x4]
Free all political prisoners [x3]

"We Want To Be Free"

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

[Chorus]
Because we want to be... FREE!
We want to be...FREE!

[Bridge]
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
Single day... EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

"Nbc (No Blood-Thirsty Corporations)"

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!!

[Chorus]
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

[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 fucking wall

[Chorus]

"Right To Choose"

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 [x3]
I'm free, fucking free!! YeaHH!!

"We Don't Need It"

[Verse:]
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!

[Chorus:]
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!"

[Verse:]
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!

[Chorus:]
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!"

[Bridge:]
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.

[Chorus:]
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!"

"Anatomy Of Your Enemy"

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus (repeat)]

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
I am a human being!!!

"Tearing Everyone Down"

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..."

"Free Nation?"

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!!

"Spaz's House Destruction Party [Live]"

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 to his house sparked off an idea,
"I should have one last party at my place..."
so off he set with his master plan, the invitations in his hand read,
and you're invited to my house destruction 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 to broken glass to knocked out 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... yea it is"

[Chorus]

"Turncoat"

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!
Criminal with protection of the law!

Go!

States lies dressed up as evening news
We're tired of lies we want the truth
Brodcast by corpses courting you
We're tired of lies we want the truth
Most people they will never know
We're tired of lies we want the truth
With your or against you?
Then I am against you because you're a...

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!
Criminal with protection of the law

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!
Criminal with protection of the law

In your corner
Makes me wanna
Douse myself in gasoline!
Civil servants fall in line for you
Too brainwashed to see the truth
You use anyone you can!

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!
Criminal with protection of the law

TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF!
Criminal with protection of the

KILLER!
