American Attraction lyrics - Anti-Flag
Yeah
There's no escaping the American attraction
A bait and switch that's gonna thrill you with distraction
It sounds so good, you can't resist the satisfaction
When it's all over you'll be crying, I'll be laughing
Yeah
I got that gun, got that drug
I've got everything you want
Got that bomb, got that blood
I've got everything you're not
It's the American attraction
It's the American attraction
The clock tick-tick-tick-ticking down to a disaster
Your insecurity is all they're coming after
This propaganda so impossible to resist
Where ideology replaces being honest
I got that gun, got that drug
I've got everything you want
Got that bomb, got that blood
I've got everything you're not
It's the American attraction
It's the American attraction
You think it's a circus the truth is it's a strategy
American beauty twisted into a tragedy
Out in a blaze of glory
You got your gun, got your drug
You got your bomb, got your blood
And now we've had enough
I got that gun, got that drug
I've got everything you want
Got that bomb, got that blood
I've got everything you're not
It's the American attraction
It's the American attraction
It's the American attraction
It's the American attraction
Yeah
The Criminals lyrics - Anti-Flag
The game we play is life and death
Your worth measured in dollars and in cents
There ain't no lifeline coming (coming!)
Unless you pay the price (the price!)
Your hope, freedom, your sanity
A product, not a right
These are the days that test your heart and soul
Strap yourself in for the American Fall
Day after day it is all crash and burn
A nation hijacked by the criminals
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Yeah
Your neighbor is your enemy
Your real friends are on the TV
They’re selling lies and self-loathing
Nothing no one should pay to be
The cost of healthcare, the cost of guns
The cost of knowledge, the cost of love
When prison is an industry
Somebody’s getting locked away
Uninvited to the party
They're cold, afraid and starving
There's gotta be more
To the millions who are marching
Than a separation of just a few degrees
Between evil, famine and the disease
These are the days that test your heart and soul
Strap yourself in for the American Fall
Day after day it is all crash and burn
A nation hijacked by the criminals
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh
Reject the criminality
That monetizes our humanity
Construct a new reality
Where you're not just a number, you're a name
We'll never have our dignity
Till all you fascists are six feet deep
When The Wall Falls lyrics - Anti-Flag
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
Look outside your window, there's a woman being grabbed
They've voted with their reverence and a Bible in their hand
Maybe we should go outside and try to stop her pain
But the anthem's started playing and I'd hate to miss the game
Sweating in the ghetto with the panthers and the poor
The rich will do it all for you but help you off the floor
Would their hope become a riot if the dream wasn't a rot
But they've got their welfare pennies and besides we've got the cops
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
Now there's a dirty paper using sex to make a sale
They're all surprised the turnout and the outcomes were a fail
Maybe we can help their pain and speak the truth online
But we're busy reading Playboy and the Sunday New York Times
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
Well you're safe now in the fire light
No we don't need another warning
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
I'll see you when the wall falls
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
Well you're safe now in the fire light
No we don't need another warning
If they come for you in the night
They will come for me in the morning
I'll see you when the wall falls
Trouble Follows Me lyrics - Anti-Flag
Yeah alright
Here we go
Here we go
So here we go again, no hope for you and less for me
The walls are going up, no way to break through
They steal the riches of the world, just to keep us all at bay
One thing that I can say for sure, you know that trouble follows me
(Trouble, trouble)
Trouble in a way you just can't believe
(Trouble, trouble)
Trouble always finds its way back to me
Hard work will set you free, now that's a fuckin' dream
The cycle of our poverty, the strength of their chains
'Cause even when I laid down low, just to keep above the fray
One thing that I can say for sure, you know that trouble follows me
(Trouble, trouble)
Trouble in a way you just can't believe
(Trouble, trouble)
Trouble always finds its way back to me
(Trouble)
Trouble in a way you just can't believe
(Trouble)
Trouble always finds its way back to me
A rebel womyn, she lived a wild life
She'd rather roses on the table, than diamonds on her neck
Knowing she'd never go home, until the day she could no longer breathe
She said, "This ain't the life I envisioned for me"
She said, "This ain't the way that I thought it would be"
She said, "This ain't the way it was supposed to be"
She said, "I don't regret a thing, though trouble follows me"
Yeah, trouble follows
(Trouble, trouble)
Trouble in a way you just can't believe
(Trouble, trouble)
Trouble always finds its way back to me
(Whoa oh oh oh)
Trouble in a way you just can't believe
(Whoa oh oh oh)
Trouble always finds a way and trouble follows me
Trouble follows me
Yeah, trouble follows me
Trouble follows
Finish What We Started lyrics - Anti-Flag
From the top now
Okay
Alright
Everyone just wants to fucking breathe
Nobody can, and everyone believes
We will breathe later and they won't die
But truthfully they were never alive
To question the society you live in
You gotta call yourself in question
To question the answers you're given
You gotta call yourself in question
Because a cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
We don't need a world where a guarantee
A starvation death, impossibility
In every home a new car, a new TV
Bringing the risk of dying of boredom
To question the society you live in
You gotta call yourself in question
To question the answers you're given
You gotta call yourself in question
Because a cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
We're gonna finish what we started
We're gonna finish what we started
Only hope comes from the hopeless
We're gonna finish what we started
Only soul comes from the soulless
Because a cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
We're gonna finish what we started
We're gonna finish what we started
Liar lyrics - Anti-Flag
I was ripped wide open like I never been before
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me chemicals
Kept me coming back, yeah, kept me coming back for more
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me chemicals
Where do you go when they don't love you anymore?
Do you need another reason to feel insecure?
There's a beautiful beach under the paved concrete
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me chemicals
We've fallen further so far, I think I'm finally free
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me chemicals
Where do you go when they don't know you anymore?
Do you need another reason you're a prisoner?
I'll never trust you, you're just a liar
Closing the border of the fallen empire
I never thought that it would end like this
A finger on the button and a trigger to the kids
I'll never trust you, you're just a liar
Closing the border of the fallen empire
I never thought that it would end like this
Closing the border of the fallen empire
Well we only see the prices in the spectacle
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me chemicals
Only the young make love, only the old look bored
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me chemicals
Where do you go when they don't love you anymore?
Do you need another reason to feel insecure?
I'll never trust you, you're just a liar
Closing the border of the fallen empire
I never thought that it would end like this
A finger on the button and a trigger to the kids
I'll never trust you, you're just a liar
Closing the border of the fallen empire
I never thought that it would end like this
Closing the border of the fallen empire
You're just a liar, a liar, a liar
You're just a liar, a liar, a liar
Digital Blackout lyrics - Anti-Flag
Brainwashed, radicalized
Born to kill, born to die
Strategize and weaponize
Enemy airwaves full of lies
So here we go again, mission: detonation
Compliments of the new world order
This is the new disorder
The new disorder
Digital blackout
Digital blackout
Yeah
Digital blackout
Targeted, terrorized
Sanctified and sanitized
Whitewashed, politicized
For war we live, for peace we die
So here we go again, mission: detonation
Compliments of the new world order
This is the new disorder
Digital slavery, digital soldier
Digital enemy, over and over
Digital tragedy, digital closure
Over and over, over and over
Digital blackout
Digital blackout
Yeah
Digital blackout
Digital slavery, digital soldier
Digital enemy, over and over
Digital tragedy, digital closure
Over and over, over and over
Digital weaponry, digital cold war
Digital casualty, over and over
Digital strategy, digital torture
Over and over, over and over
Digital blackout
Compliments of the new world order
This is the new disorder
Compliments of the new world order
This is the new disorder
I Came. I Saw. I Believed. lyrics - Anti-Flag
Where you gonna go when the superstores close
They segregate you, but integrate your dough
What you fighting for when they kick you out the door
Before it ends you, you gotta end the war
The truth
I came. I saw. I believed
In what we can achieve
Find a way to finally breathe
And we
We won't ask you for a thing
We will demand for nothing
We will occupy and take everything
Here he come old flat top, he come shooting up the night
He doesn't have to worry, they're the wrong color of white
Bashing the fashion, voluntary right
Asleep in the parade, you're gonna lose the fight
Washing away the stains
Drinking away their pain
Send it across the nation
You're wasted
The truth
I came. I saw. I believed
In what we can achieve
Find a way to finally breathe
And we
We won't ask you for a thing
We will demand for nothing
We will occupy and take everything
Where you gonna go when the superstores close
They segregate you, but integrate your dough
What you fighting for when they kick you out the door
Before it ends you, you gotta end the war
Racists lyrics - Anti-Flag
We say "No, not in our name."
It's in the things that you say and you don't say
You don't know it cause you're such a fuckin' cliche
The way you define them & us
Those you fear and those you trust
You know a black guy and he's very articulate
You know a Mexican and she's honest and diligent
You don't see color but some people need discipline
A thug is a thug, some people need to learn a lesson
Your justifications, one dead give away
Your qualifications, one dead give away
You'd never endorse the Jim Crowe days
But the malice in your voice is a God damn give away
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a check list
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a check list
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance
Black lives matter and you don't know why
And reverse racism isn't a real thing
No you weren't alive in the time of slavery
But that's no excuse to ignore its legacy
Not afraid of refugees
But don't want a mosque built on your street
Offended by the claim of bigotry
More than the racism in your face
Your justifications, one dead give away
Your qualifications, one dead give away
You'd never endorse the Bull Connor days
But the malice in your voice is a God damn give away
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a check list
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a check list
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance
You fly the flag of the Confederacy
You say to celebrate your history
The South was fighting to save slavery
To preserve and protect white supremacy
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a check list
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
You don't get a pass when you're talkin' your shit
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
A bigot with a check list
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist
Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist
You don't get a pass for your ignorance
Just 'cause you don't know you're racist
Just 'cause you don't know you're sexist
Just 'cause you don't know you're fascist
You don't get a pass, get a pass for your ignorance
Throw It Away lyrics - Anti-Flag
You're going through the motions
Destroying our emotion
And praying on devotion
It's just a game
There's something in the water
Sold your sons and sold your daughters
The voices getting stronger
It's just a game
You've been handed everything just to throw it away
You've been passing off the blame just to spit in our face
A portrait of a version of the worst of our days
You've been handed everything just to throw it away
It's just a game
The cracks in the foundation
And the fall of your nation
Nero's song an apparition
It's just a game
You've been handed everything just to throw it away
You've been passing off the blame just to spit in our face
A portrait of a version of the worst of our days
You've been handed everything just to throw it away
It's just a game
When your bloodline is a product
And your privilege is a construct
You've been handed everything
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
In their failure we are made strong
Rebuilding what has been undone
You've been handed everything
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
You're going through the motions
Destroying our emotion
You've been handed everything just to throw it away
You've been passing off the blame just to spit in our face
A portrait of a version of the worst of our days
You've been handed everything just to throw it away
It's just a game
It's just a game
It's just a game
It's just a game
You're going through the motions
Destroying our emotion
Casualty lyrics - Anti-Flag
All of the scrutiny, I feel the eyes fall down upon me
Is it amnesty? Or is it hang me from the gallows?
Committed to the conviction I carry with me
When I'm afraid of my name, I know I'm not free
Turn it up loud
Just to take it all away
Turn it up loud
Yeah just to take it all away
Turn it up loud
Just to take it all away
Try to shut us down but we won't be another casualty
No, we won't be another casualty
No, we won't be another casualty
Born in the USA
The fear, the guilt, the worry
All the shame and hate
The rat race and the hurry
Turn it up loud
Just to take it all away
Turn it up loud
Yeah just to take it all away
Turn it up loud
Just to take it all away
Try to shut us down but we won't be another casualty
No, we won't be another casualty
No, we won't be another casualty
Saints and sinners
Traders and thieves
Crooks and killers
Thugs and police
Turn it up loud
Just to take it all away
Turn it up loud
Yeah just to take it all away
Turn it up loud
Just to take it all away
Try to shut us down but we won't be another casualty
Turn it up loud
Just to take it all away
Turn it up loud
Yeah just to take it all away
Try to shut us down but we won't be another casualty
We won't be another casualty
No, we won't be another casualty
We won't be another casualty
No, we won't be another casualty
A Dying Plea Vol. 1 lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. DE'WAYNE, Marcia Richards, Jálise Della Gary & Tom Morello)
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe (breathe), breathe (breathe)
Breathe (breathe), breathe
I know you looking for a victim to kill - I know you
I know you looking for a son to steal - I know you
You wanna catch me slipping down on my heels
For a moment to boast and shout "Look at this nigga I killed"
But what about my rights?
What about my life?
We ain't equal to them
If they ain't kill us
Slamming us down
Saw the tape on CNN
Got a call from my mother
You bet not go outside again
Got a call from my father
Like put a damn gun to they head
BANG
With others oppressed no one is free
(No one is free)
When just to breathe is a dying plea
Your freedom falls only skin deep
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American Dream
The blue lines cross at demand and need
Raze the statues from the hanging tree
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe (breathe), breathe (breathe)
Breathe (breathe), breathe
Well I'm unbelievably out of breath
I remember inna school that respect wasn't there
Imagine what a fool, I'd step where the other girls stepped
I'd forget that I checked and the step wasn't there
I know underneath another layer lies another liar
Out come the wolves from their wool to deny our rights
Buckle up, watch it take a turn until your luck is up
We got the backup and we'll say their names until you're gone
With others oppressed no one is free
(No one is free)
When just to breathe is a dying plea
Your freedom falls only skin deep
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American Dream
The blue lines cross at demand and need
Raze the statues from the hanging tree
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American Dream
How long must we wait
For all of this to change?
The fear, the death, the pain
Will it ever go away?
How long must we wait
How long?
(How long?)
When just to breathe is a dying plea
Your freedom falls only skin deep
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe
We can't breathe (breathe), breathe (breathe)
Breathe (breathe), breathe
We can't breathe
A Dying Plea Vol. 2 lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. DE'WAYNE, Marcia Richards, Jordan Montgomery & Tom Morello)
When just to breathe is a dying plea
Your freedom falls only skin deep
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American Dream
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
Breathe...
Breathe...
Melanin, I know on the other side when they see my face
Melanin and only melanin leave trace
They'll step to protect their right to forget the debt that they owe my race
Suckle at the teat and they get a likkle treat like a lifetime in first place
All the innocent are gonna suffer when they gun out and nuh means to decide on why, while all them and the others will protect them, discard us, throw us at the back or under the bus, scream we'll serve and protect not trust, stick to the colour guide, watch better be the right swatch and nuh care about us.
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
Breathe...
Breathe...
I left the crib in my white tee, yeah bitch I'm icy
The public think I'm thuggin, shots fired now my tee blooded
These fucking cops ain't rushing a nigga dead they love it
Turn the body cam off while we calling for our mothers
BITCH I been feeling some evil deeds
I might kill a cop let the trigger squeeze
24 years years being black a scary thing but I still gotta die a legend if they come for me
Only care for us when we on a tee
We tired of singing songs I want a bullet in they head
Middle of the street that's on everything fucking let me be
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
Breathe...
Breathe...
Black in America breaking the barriers
Cops killing us that's serial
Land of milk and honey no cereal
Preaching the real
Politicians vote and passing the bills
You posting a square while blacks in the street getting murdered and killed
Rap industry we takeover for real
Driving While Black get you out of your deal
Killing the game left you out of the will
Writing this live from the City of Steel
Karens they lie you get Emmitt Tilled
Karens they lie you get Emmitt Tilled
Now how does that feel
Turning the tables you don't get a meal
Seat at the table that eating for real
Officers kneel until you can't breathe
Kaepernick kneel can't play for a team
When just to breathe is a dying plea
Your freedom falls only skin deep
Out of reach like an American Dream
Out of reach like an American Dream
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
We can't breathe...
Breathe...
Breathe...
We can't breathe...
