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...
All Cops Are...A-Z lyrics - Anti-Flag
All cops are assholes
All cops are bastards
All cops are court controlling cunts
All cops are dickheads
All cops are evil
All cops are farm animal fucking fucks
All cops are greedy
All cops are hate criming
All cops are incorporated
All cops are jag offs
All cops are killers
All cops are lie, lying, liars
All cops are miserable
All cops are Nazis
All cops are onanists
All cops are pedaling pricks
All cops are queefs
All cops are racists
All cops are sadists
All cops are twats
All cops are unbelievably unchecked
All cops are vicious
All cops are wastes of water
All cops are xenophobic
All cops are you
All cops are you
All cops are you
All cops are you
Branded Rebellion lyrics - Anti-Flag
Branded rebellion
Safe enough for all
Sweat the assets
Cash out before it's gone
Placement, visibility
No context needed at all
Out of pocket credibility
In the loop with the calm
We laugh, ain't it funny, how we sell our souls
We laugh, ain't it funny, how our morals fall
You still wanna be an artist?
When the straw man calls
Ego strokes and fine dining
Impulse buys results
Placement, visibility
No context needed at all
Out of pocket credibility
In the loop with the calm
We laugh, ain't it funny, how we sell our souls
We laugh, ain't it funny, how our morals fall
We laugh, ain't it funny, success erases it all
We laugh, ain't it funny, how easy conscience is sold
For What It's Worth lyrics - Anti-Flag
(originally by Buffalo Springfield)
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the men come and take you away
Stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down
Gimme Some Truth lyrics - Anti-Flag
(originally by John Lennon)
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth (the truth)
Just give me some truth (truth)
I’m sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted p-p-p-punk rockers
All I want is the truth (the truth)
Just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth (the truth)
Just give me some truth now
I’ve had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now (the truth)
Just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
It's money for dope
Choke! [x16]
All I want is some truth now (woah)
Just give me some truth now
[x8]
Mr. Motherfucker lyrics - Anti-Flag
Okay, what Stagger Lee say
You're gonna end up dead
Mr. Motherfucker, you know who I am
You're gonna end up dead
From the depths of the 400 club
To the rivers running red
Stacks 'em high, he's 44
Stagger Lee [?]
Like a Chinese whisper
Words spread around
[?] he's walking tipsy
Never to be found
Mr. Motherfucker, you know who I am
You're gonna end up dead
Mr. Motherfucker, you know who I am
You're gonna end up dead
Gotta say that bad man you see
So damn bad in the summer
The flies stay from Stagger Lee
Gotta say that bad man you see
So damn bad in the winter
The snow don't fall off Stagger Lee
Have you heard about that bullet
That come to town
Are you looking for for that bullet
It must be found
You're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead
Mr. Motherfucker, you know who I am
You're gonna end up dead
Surrender lyrics - Anti-Flag
Mother told me, yes, she told me
That I'd meet boys like you
She also told me, "Stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch"
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round
Yeah
Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, hey
Father says, "Your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married, Mommy served
In the WACs in the Philippines"
Now, I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Hey, hey
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year?
Every time I got to thinking
Where'd they disappear?
But when I woke up, Mom and Dad
Are rolling on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rollin'
Got my cash records out
Mommy's alright
Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don't give yourself away
Way, way
Away
Away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
But don't give yourself away
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
(We're all alright)
But don't give yourself away
(We're all alright)
Surrender (Mommy's all right)
Surrender (Daddy's all right)
(We're all alright)
But don't give yourself away
(We're all alright)
We're all alright! [x4]
That's When I Reach For My Revolver lyrics - Anti-Flag
(originally by Mission of Burma)
Once I had my heroes
Once I had my dreams
But all of that is changed now
The truth begins again
The truth is not that comfortable, no
Mother taught us patience
The virtues of restraint
Father taught us boundaries
The knowledge we must go
I'm trying to protect my unity
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit passes by this way
A friend of mine once told me
His one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And in it sign his name
Sign it with complete community
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit passes by this way
Now that the sky is empty
And that is nothing new
Instead they look upon us
When they tell me
That we're nothing
That's when I reach for my revolver (I say!)
That's when I reach for my revolver (I say!)
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
The New Jim Crow lyrics - Anti-Flag
I can't help but shed a tear for you tonight
Because we know nothing can ever make it right
Your days cheated away
Never given a chance to clear your name, no
Please accept my sincere apologies
Please accept my sincere apologies
For the heartless, for the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, for the useless
For the people only looking out for themselves
For themselves
Welcome to the new America
Welcome to the new Jim Crow
Welcome to a world gone out of control
I said, picked up, set up, sent down
Case opened closed
I said, picked up, set up, sent down
Case opened closed
Please accept my sincere apologies
Please accept my sincere apologies
For the heartless, for the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, for the useless
For the people only looking out for themselves
For the people only looking out for themselves
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Picked up, set up, sent down, opened, closed
Please accept my sincere apologies
Please accept my sincere apologies
For the heartless, for the useless
For the people who have no soul left to give
For the heartless, for the useless
For the people only looking out for themselves
For the people only looking out for themselves
For the people only looking out for themselves
The War On Christmas Is Over (If You Buy It) lyrics - Anti-Flag
Alright!
Armed to the teeth, jack boots on our feet
As we kick in your front door
Setting fire to the tree, all the presents beneath
And destroying you, pagan whores
Overhead drones are flying, the children will be crying
Try and lock all your doors
But not enough of you are buying
So this year you're dying
Merry Christmas, this means war
This is the war on Christmas
Your names made our shit list
This is the war on Christmas
Happy new fear
Armed to the teeth, jack boots on our feet
As we kick in your front door
So we send seasons beatings, 'til you are believing
Our savior is white as snow
There will be no relieving, this pain you are feeling
Merry Christmas, this means war
This is the war on Christmas
Your names made our shit list
This is the war on Christmas
Happy new fear
This is the war on Christmas
Your names made our shit list
This is the war on Christmas
Happy new fear
Everyone will spread this cheer
Everyone will disappear
Everyone will spread this cheer
Everyone will disappear
Will disappear, will disappear
This is the war on Christmas
Your names made our shit list
This is the war on Christmas
Happy new fear
This is the war on Christmas
Your names made our shit list
This is the war on Christmas
Happy new fear
Welcome To 1984 lyrics - Anti-Flag
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...
Welcome to 1984!
