LIES THEY TELL OUR CHILDREN (2023)












SOLD EVERYTHING lyrics - Anti-Flag

Well, they sold all our bodies, collected our names
Sold all our fears, stole all our birthdates
Every thought we have exchanged for windfall
If they gave you nothing, you'd have nothing at all

Fuck all their borders and fuck all their wars
The violence of Wall Street and profiteer cures
Neoliberal white saviors, Murdoch and Fox News
Fuck the Pittsburgh Police and the president, too

(Whoa) They sold everything
(Whoa) They sold everything
No, you don't mean a goddamn thing
(Don't mean a goddamn thing)

(Whoa) They sold everything
(Whoa) They sold everything
(Whoa) They sold everything
(Whoa) No, you don't mean a goddamn thing

MODERN META MEDICINE lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Jesse Leach)

Self-serve it's all that you can eat
How will we pay, we're the commodity
We can never help ourselves
We want it all and nothing else
Market plan. Consumed, buy everything
Create desires and trade them publicly
The sweet smell of our excess
We choke and gag upon the stench

Every dime spared from the war fund
Another pill for us to choke on

On and on and on and on
We're never right, we're never wrong
And on and on and on and on
What's black is white, what's true is false
Take off my weary head
Fill us with medicine
We're all bogged down with dread
Fill us with medicine
Fill us with medicine

Under treat the pain, deny dignity
Subhuman graves robbed for the body
Indelible memory remains
The histories of abuse and shame
Same story, the character, a caricature
A premium paid, a misery ensured
Shocked by the inhumanity
Is this life of ours worth anything?

Every dime spared from the war fund
Another pill for us to choke on

On and on and on and on
We're never right, we're never wrong
And on and on and on and on
What's black is white, what's true is false
Take off my weary head
Fill us with medicine
We're all bogged down with dread
Fill us with medicine
Fill us with medicine

So we get, get, get what we deserve
So we try, try, try to bereave the interred
So we get, get, get what we deserve
This modern medicine
This modern meta medicine

This modern meta medicine
So let us in
This modern meta medicine
So let us in
This modern meta medicine

LAUGH. CRY. SMILE. DIE. lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Shane Told)

Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this idea that I'm selling, for nothing
(Whoa whoa) Can anybody hear me?
(Whoa whoa) Does anybody care?
Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this worry that we're falling, for nothing
(Whoa whoa) Is anybody listening?
(Whoa whoa) Is anybody there?

Flashback to 1983
Emphasize the uncertainty
The memo says the company
Turns truth into a theory

The lies they tell our children shaping everything we know
Turning fact into a fiction streamed on every single show
Packaged and rebranded so that it's consumed by all
Simplify the lyrics so the world can sing along

Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this idea that I'm selling, for nothing
(Whoa whoa) Can anybody hear me?
(Whoa whoa) Does anybody care?
Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this worry that we're falling, for nothing
(Whoa whoa) Is anybody listening?
(Whoa whoa) Is anybody there?

In the fluorescents of boardrooms
The proof disappears
In the darkness of the night
They prey on our fears

Now they're capping all the the questions, no accountability
The only answers given are the ones that keep them free
They knew it, they sold it then wrote it into law
To greenwash, to market, the cleanest death of all

Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this idea that I'm selling, for nothing
(Whoa whoa) Can anybody hear me?
(Whoa whoa) Does anybody care?
Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this worry that we're falling, for nothing
(Whoa whoa) Is anybody listening?
(Whoa whoa) Is anybody there?

Is anybody there?

Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this idea that I'm selling, for nothing
(Whoa whoa) Can anybody hear me?
(Whoa whoa) Does anybody care?
Can you hear me, hear me calling
I got this worry that we're falling, for nothing
(Hey) Is anybody listening?
(Hey) Is anybody fucking there?

(Whoa whoa) Is anybody listening?
(Whoa whoa) Is anybody there?

THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Tim McIlrath & Brian Baker)

There's a dark cloud growing at the end of the road
There's a crowd of people left with nowhere to go
And I get so sick at the sight, it keeps me up at night
(It keeps me up at night)

There's a headline telling you that this is the end
There's no conversation, it's still us versus them
And I get so sick at the sight, it keeps me up at night

We're in the fight of our lives
Crossing over the lines
We'll never run, never hide
(Oh oh oh oh)
Wake up surrounded in flames
Holding onto our pain
Still some hope in our veins
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I get so sick at the sight, it keeps me up at night
We're in the fight of our lives

There's a echo ringing that we're going to war
It's the same old story, they're still killing for sport
And I get so sick of the sight, it keeps me up at night
(It keeps me up at night)

We're in the fight of our lives
Crossing over the lines
We'll never run, never hide
(Oh oh oh oh)
Wake up surrounded in flames
Holding onto our pain
Still some hope in our veins
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I get so sick at the sight, it keeps me up at night
We're in the fight of our lives

(Oh oh oh oh)
We're in the fight of our lives
(Oh oh oh oh)
We're in the fight of our lives

Wake up, to existential dread
Empires, they crumble in our hands
Phone call, no one on the other end
(No one on the other end)

Inside, to dispel the myth
So tired, we haven't done anything
Reach out, no one on the other end
(No one on the other end)
("The number you've dialed is not in service")

We're in the fight of our lives
Crossing over the lines
We'll never run, never hide
(Oh oh oh oh)
Wake up surrounded in flames
Holding onto our pain
Still some hope in our veins
(Oh oh oh oh oh)

I get so sick at the sight, it keeps me up at night
We're in the fight of our lives

(Oh oh oh oh)
We're in the fight of our lives
(Oh oh oh oh)
We're in the fight of our lives

IMPERIALISM lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Ashrita Kumar)

Did things my own way, made up my own rules
Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels
Moved into your house, you said can you move
I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere

I plan to fabricate a little holiday
And find myself a lovely, cozy place to stay
And if I like it I may never go away

Yeah!

And when I show up you'll be thrilled to let me in
Cause I got all you need to wash away your sins
Yeah, once you know me you'll realize I'm your best friend

You've been needing a new friend
I'm gonna be there till the end

Did things my own way, made up my own rules
Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels
Moved into your house, you said can you move
I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere

The heads of state are drinking up their vintage wine
While blowin' smoke on human rights and apartheid
From Pittsburgh, PA all the way to Palestine

Yeah!

I'll tell you who's your enemy and who to trust
If you don't like it, I don't really give a fuck
I'm rolling heavy and I'm tired of your distrust

You see your loyalty's a must...
You better bring it, motherfucker

Did things my own way, made up my own rules
Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels
Moved into your house, you said can you move
I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere

And the sun keeps shining down
On the hills and city streets of this fair town
What once and what is now are futile
To break down, to break down

Did things my own way, made up my own rules
Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels
Moved into your house, you said can you move
I said, I'm goin', I'm goin'...

I'm goin' nowhere, nowhere
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm goin' nowhere, nowhere
Oh, oh

Did things my own way, made up my own rules
Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels
Moved into your house, you said can you move
I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere

VICTORY OR DEATH (WE GAVE 'EM HELL) lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Campino)

When the world starts burning ring the bell, ring the bell
We can say we can say we were there when it fell
Hear the voice of the choir fare thee well, fare thee well
We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

You were born far away in the pouring rain
Dreaming I would meet you there someday
Well, I don't know your story and I don't know your name
But I can tell you that you won't die in vain

When the world starts burning ring the bell, ring the bell
We can say we can say we were there when it fell
Hear the voice of the choir fare thee well, fare thee well
We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

When you come face to face with the weight of your fate
(Will you) Count your blessing or just count your mistakes?
When the sun begins to set on the things you never did
Will they haunt you or the ones you have left?

To the end of the day nothing left but to raise up a glass to the lost and the brave
You may be buried in a grave that is marked with no name
But I'll be thrown down in a hole just the same

To arms the brave
Unknown soldiers wait
March on, march on to our very last breath
It's victory or death...

When the world starts burning ring the bell, ring the bell
We can say we can say we were there when it fell
Hear the voice of the choir fare thee well, fare thee well
We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

When the world starts burning ring the bell, ring the bell
We can say we can say we were there when it fell
Hear the voice of the choir fare thee well, fare thee well
We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell
We gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell, gave 'em hell

THE HAZARDOUS lyrics - Anti-Flag

Confined, separate and polarized
Maintained, condoned and designed
No relief and nowhere left to hide
Hell trapped in cracks of the pavement
Decline, compound abandonment
No escape and nowhere left to repent

Insolence only crime
Inside our own lives
Injustice resides where the weapon resides

Locked out, locked up
They've got their gun to our heads
Same war, same chains
Same house always wins
The bottom line defines the hazardous redline
They've got their gun to our heads

Blood thirst, watch the interest hike
Blockbust, forced fed hunger strike
Their ghosts hang in the poisoned air

Insolence only crime
Inside our own lives
Injustice resides in everything that we buy

Locked out, locked up
They've got their gun to our heads
Same war, same chains
Same house always wins
The bottom line defines the hazardous redline
They've got their gun to our heads

There's only hell inside
There's only hell outside
But the structures are all rotten
In the maps of the forgotten
Our dignity, our liberty is all or nothing

Locked out, locked up
They've got their gun to our heads
Same war, same chains
Same house always wins
The bottom line defines the hazardous redline
They've got their gun to our heads

Locked out, locked up
They've got their gun to our heads
Same war, same chains
Same house always wins
The bottom line defines the hazardous redline
They've got their gun to our heads

Locked out, locked up
Same war, same chains
Same house always wins
Locked out, locked up
The hazardous redline
They've got their gun to our heads

SHALLOW GRAVES lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Tré Burt)

In the lotteries of stolen fate
To clear the way, gas up the trade
To rape the soil to the end days
Where they bury our soul in a shallow grave
In a shallow grave

Gold mountain ghost, spirit remains
For the destitute, for the cast away
Manifest destiny to fill our shame
Where they bury our soul in a shallow grave
In a shallow grave

In a shallow grave
In a shallow grave
In a shallow grave

Bodies piled on the border lines
Shots of patron in the friendly skies
Futures detained on the Rio Grande
Will wash their blood right off your hands

In a promised land
In a promised land
In a promised land
What promise?

We are the warmth of the other suns
Five hundred years of violence undone
We are the sins that you will not forget
The broken promise of the innocent
We are the warmth of the other suns
Five hundred years of violence undone
We are the sins that you will not forget
The broken promise of the innocent

WORK & STRUGGLE lyrics - Anti-Flag

Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle, and death
Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle, and death
Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

There's blood on the banks of homestead
There's blood in the banks of Wall Street
Robert Owens gave birth to the 8 hour day
The boss wants it down in a grave

Poison the rivers, slaughter the cows
Build up the prisons, burn forests down
Food to the landfill, patent the seeds
They waste your labor, and your dignity

They want to use you up, and steal your soul
They want to use you up, and steal your soul

Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle, and death
Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

Perpetuate violence, surveilled privacy
Serving evictions, deny basic need
Following orders, just do what you're told
They'll leave you with nothing, just a flag to fold

They rob the world blind, never pay for their crimes
They've got us trained like rats
So we organize on the boss' dime
We don't have to live like this
Like this, like this

They want to use you up, and steal your soul
They want to use you up, and steal your soul

Bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left
Bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left
They're gonna bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left
They'll bleed you to death

Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle, and death
Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less
Work and struggle for less

NVREVR lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Stacey Dee)

Cut throat and don't look back
As if gifted by the zodiac
With the key that's gonna unlock my own path
Catastrophe is guaranteed again
'Cause your payoff is with a moral sin
Well, somehow, that idea always got under my skin

But you never got into my head
You never got into my head

Attack after attack
When living in this nightmare is a total laugh
I never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever
And when the wolves attack
There ain't no ground that I'm ever giving back
I never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever

Much like a poison kiss
Bittersweet, infamous
The villain's gift comes with a hitch
Slick and pretty with a warm embrace
Behind the veil there is a sacrifice
The time will come when you don't wanna pay that price

And they never got into my head
No, they never got into my head

Attack after attack
When living in this nightmare is a total laugh
I never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever
And when the wolves attack
There ain't no ground that I'm ever giving back
I never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever

All the struggles of the world make me hate you evermore
All the struggles of the world make me hate you (Make me hate you)
All the beauty of the world makes me hate you evermore
All the beauty of the world makes me hate you (Makes me hate you)
And I hate you
And when the wolves attack
There ain't no ground I'm giving back

Attack after attack
When living in this nightmare is a fucking laugh
I never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever
And when the wolves attack
There ain't no ground that I'm ever giving back
I never, ever, ever
Never, ever, ever

And when the wolves attack
There ain't no ground I'm giving back
You better fucking know it
And when the wolves attack
There ain't no ground I'm ever giving back

ONLY IN MY HEAD lyrics - Anti-Flag

All the glory that I've seen
It's only in my head, only in my head
Their amber waves of greed
It's only in my head, only in my head
In a cubicle or a locked cell
The profit builds a living hell
Raze monuments to thieves
But it's only in my head, only in my head

They're after me
Where no one's free
The house created by their greed
Is not the goddamn home that we need
They're all after me

Forget the death, the pain
It's only in my head, only in my head
All in the name of the state
It's only in my head, only in my head
Foundation born of hate
All the cancer it creates
Slow death only fate
But it's only in my head, it's only in my head

They're after me
Where no one's free
The house created by their greed
Is not the goddamn home that we need
They're all after me

Lost in the light of spectacle
Ban all the books, padlock the schools
Never knowing our reality
When everything is a conspiracy

All the glory that I've seen, it's only in my head...

They're after me
Where no one's free
The house created by their greed
Is not the goddamn home that we need
They're all after me

Hate Conquers All lyrics - Anti-Flag

"In the good ol' days this doesn't happen because they used to treat them very very rough. And when they protested once, they would not do it again so easily."

Hate conquers all
In the ashes of the fall
With our backs against the wall
With our backs against the wall
Watch the empire fall
Watch the nation dissolve
With our backs against the wall
With our

The new disorder of the impoverished nation state
The endless cycle, divide and manipulate

Never give in to the sympathy
Never give in to reality
No one could save us
So build up and lock the gate
Never give in to a sensory
Never give in to the honesty
No one could save us

Hate conquers all
In the ashes of the fall
With our backs against the wall
With our backs against the wall
Watch the empire fall
Watch the nation dissolve
With our backs against the wall
With our backs against the wall

The same masters who made us their fuckin' slaves
Are now our saviors I'm so sick of needing to be saved

Never give in to the sympathy
Never give in to reality
No one could save us

"And you know what? The audience swung back. And I thought it was very appropriate. The audience hit back. And that's what we need a little bit more of."

Hate conquers all
In the ashes of the fall
With our backs against the wall
With our backs against the wall
Watch the empire fall
Watch the nation dissolve
With our backs against the wall
With our backs against the wall

Hate conquers all
In the ashes of the fall
With our backs against the wall
With our backs against the wall
Watch the empire fall
Watch the nation dissolve
With our backs against the wall
Hate conquers, hate conquers all

It Went Off Like A Bomb lyrics - Anti-Flag

And it went off like a bomb
Incinerating, unforgiving
Gone...
No recovery, no pretending

Collision course - it's just a wreck
Shock and awe - no turning back
Nothing left to say or be done
It went off like a bomb

In the dark, in a place where no one sleeps
In the veins of extremist war
There's a message in the words that they speak
There's an action that they're callin' for

They make hallow all the shallow
Accidents of birth and reign
Zealot scum fucks kill for fame
We erase their names

And it went off like a bomb
Incinerating, unforgiving
Gone...
No recovery, no pretending

Collision course - it's just a wreck
Shock and awe - no turning back
Nothing left to say or be done
It went off like a bomb

Dog whistles endlessly
Storm troopers in the wings
Gin up the devotees
Certain they're under siege

Division sewn to yield a firestorm
Another product of the new norm
You think you're safe? It won't be too long
Until it all goes wrong

And it went off like a bomb
Incinerating, unforgiving
Gone...
No recovery, no pretending

Collision course - it's just a wreck
Shock and awe - no turning back
Nothing left to say or be done
It went off like a bomb
Yeah went off like a bomb
Yeah went off like a bomb

20/20 Vision lyrics - Anti-Flag

I had a 20/20 vision
Of the last of the wrongs undone
No more hate, no division
No one is free until the war is won

Is there an answer to the question?
When will this come to its end?
Or do we just keep on repeating
All the things that the loathsome did?

Carry on, carry on, carry on
Tell me, which side are you on?
Carry on, carry on, carry on
One by one

Now there's a silence on the radio
Now there's a hole right through our heart
And the last of the wicked
Waiting to tear us all apart

Carry on, carry on, carry on
Tell me, which side are you on?
Carry on, carry on, carry on
One by one

I had a 20/20 vision
Of the last of the wrongs undone
No more hate, no division
No one is free until the war is won

Carry on, carry on, carry on
Tell me, which side are you on?
Carry on, carry on, carry on
For the people or the gun?
Carry on, carry on, carry on
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one

Christian Nationalist lyrics - Anti-Flag

History is rife with the likes of you
History is littered with the likes of you
We'll never back down in the face of the likes of you
Never back down in the face of the likes of you

You're no better than the rest
White neo Christian nationalist
Religious law your litmus test
White neo fascist supremist

Off on the crusade of a century
With a vengeance in your veins for your enemies
Hate in your heart and division in your eye
You got queers to convert, you got lies to entice
And I can show you a compassionate authoritarian
Corrupted patriotism sold as nationalism
Your theocratic beliefs are a moral weapon
Full of venom Armageddon

You're no better than the rest
White neo Christian nationalist
Religious law your litmus test
White neo fascist supremist

We reject theocracy
We reject your view of the world
You're no better than the rest
White neo Christian nationalist

Don't Let The Bastards Get You Down lyrics - Anti-Flag

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Oh, no...
Don't let the bastards get you down

Screaming back at home on a cracked phone
There's no one to hear you when they just don't want to know
No cleaning up the mess they left in a nowhere town
The future just contains what we put into it now

Open up the windows of your boxed in art
Open the prison gates, open up your heart
You no longer sleep quiet once you've opened up your eyes
Only when the truth is recognized

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down

Open up the windows of your boxed in art
Open the prison gates, open up your heart
You no longer sleep quiet once you've opened up your eyes
Only when the truth is recognized

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down

We refuse to be highrised
Inventoried, merchandised
Indoctrinated by things we're told to fear
We refuse to be cast aside
Ridiculed and normalized
Worried by things we're told to fear

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Oh, no...
Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down

Don't let the bastards get you down
Don't run for cover when you hear that sound
Don't be afraid, you're not alone
Our only hope is the unknown
Don't let the bastards get you down down down

Unbreakable lyrics - Anti-Flag

When I get knocked down I get back up again, yeah
Backed by my family and my friends, yeah

A vicious culture leaves us lost in life
Fuelled on anger, fuelled on spite
Watch the phoenix risin' up
This ain't no fucking joke

Unbreakable
Unbreakable, today
Unbreakable
In every single way

No, don't let them back you against the wall, yeah
And make you feel like you're nothing, nothing at all

No, we're not broken and we don't scare
Keep your acclaim because we don't care
What doesn't kill us now
Will lead us back from Hell

Unbreakable
Unbreakable, today
Unbreakable
In every single way
Unbreakable
Ready to face the world
Unbreakable
And I'm ready to feel
To feel the sharp shock of the phoenix risin'

Rising out of the east
Rising with the sun
And the moment you realize
That nothing can keep you down
Hard times come and go
Roll with the punches
Everything they throw
Look sharp and tell yourself
You're gonna make it through

Unbreakable
Unbreakable, today
Unbreakable
I'm never gonna change

Unbreakable
Unbreakable, today
Unbreakable
In every single way
Unbreakable
It's time to face the world
Unbreakable
And I'm ready to feel
To feel the sharp shock of the phoenix risin'

The Disease lyrics - Anti-Flag

We are the fire in the attic
We are the voices in the static
You have a sickness
And we are the disease
That brings you to your knees

Misery loves the company
Apathy is feeding the machine
Carried in the heart of kings and queens
And we are the disease, we are the disease

We are the disease
We are the disease

Critical shutdown of false virtue
The viral outbreak to kill the untruth
You have a cancer
And we are the disease
That brings you to your knees

Misery loves the company
Apathy is feeding the machine
Carried in the heart of kings and queens
And we are the disease, we are the disease

We are the disease
We are the disease
Yeah we are the disease

We are the roll call of the pursuit
(The misery, the company)
We are the echo of violent truth
(Your apathy feeds the machine)
We are the whisper of the lit fuse
(You're a disgrace of the disease)
We are the voices and we reject you
(We reject you, and we reject you)

Misery loves the company
Apathy is feeding the machine
Carried in the heart of kings and queens
Misery loves the company
Apathy is feeding the machine
Carried in the heart of kings and queens
And we are the disease, we are the disease

We are the disease
We are the disease
Yeah we are the disease

A Nation Sleeps lyrics - Anti-Flag

A nation sleeps
Another stays hungry and doesn't dare to dream
The success we seek
Trickles down to a gutter where the prison bars meet
Foundations weak
Add more stress to the cracks in the balance sheet
But please don't speak
The earth is a product, save the receipt

We are cultured
Commute, work
Commute, sleep
We are cultured
Commute, work
Commute, sleep

In a society (In a society)
That abolishes all things (That abolishes all things)
To abolish society (To abolish society)
Is the only thing

We are cultured
Commute, work
Commute, sleep
We are cultured
Commute, work
Commute, sleep

Those who make
Freedom halfway
Are those who dig
Their own graves

Those who make
Freedom halfway
Are those who dig
Their own graves

We are cultured
Commute, work
Commute, sleep
We are cultured
Commute, work
Commute, sleep

You Make Me Sick lyrics - Anti-Flag

When I think about you, you make me sick
You're a maniac, a liar, you're piece of shit
A cynical, condescending, hypocrite
Everything you do, you make me, make me sick

There's a cancer in the room and it ain't goin' nowhere
Salt rubbed in a wound, a council of despair
I wish I could care less, more than I can admit
There's no turning it off, there's just no way to make it quit

When I think about you, you make me sick
You're a maniac, a liar, you're piece of shit
A cynical, condescending, hypocrite
Everything you do, you make me, make me sick

And there ain't no coming back from the words you vomit
A pain inside my chest that I can't stomach
I wish I could careless, more than I can admit
There's no turning it off, there's just no way to make it quit

The sound of your voice
The look of your grin
The smell of your breath
The waste of your skin
The hate in your eyes
The spite of your kin
Just goes on and on
It just never ends

The sound of your voice
The look of your grin
The smell of your breath
The waste of your skin
The hate in your eyes
The spite of your kin
Just goes on and on
It just never ends

When I think about you, you make me sick
You're a maniac, a liar, you're piece of shit
A cynical, condescending, hypocrite
Everything you do, you make me, make me sick

You make me sick
You make me sick
You make me, you make me, you make me
You make me, you make me, you make me sick

Un-American lyrics - Anti-Flag

The bottom floor of a cold building
Promised a career and a diamond ring
Glass ceiling above, nothing under her feet
"Honey, just give me a smile, how hard can that be..."

Life at 26 ain't what she thought it would be
Now she's waking up from an American Dream

No rain falls to a spoiled land
Who is un-American, un-American?
No peace comes from a greedy hand
Who is un-American, un-American?

Factory floor, that they told him would stay
Another line sold on another campaign
The churches decay by his grandparents grave
A town exchanged for the money they saved

Life at 36 ain't what he thought it would be
Now he's waking up from an American Dream

No rain falls to a spoiled land
Who is un-American, un-American?
No peace comes from a greedy hand
Who is un-American, un-American?

Apartment floor, to the stadium
The roar of the crowd and the marching drums
All his life they taught him how to run
Shot in the back, the jury was the gun

No rain falls to a spoiled land
Who is un-American, un-American?
No peace comes from a greedy hand
Who is un-American, un-American?

Resistance Frequencies lyrics - Anti-Flag

Hear the echo ringing in the chambers of their power
The state of our ruin, clocking just over an hour
The victims are just props in a public execution
Of justice, freedom, liberty in neofascist movements

It's not a dying planet that's made you less free
Is it the brown child, that we've caged publicly?
Is it the pharmaceutical that's fueling our disease?
The cartels, the fentanyl, the howling coyote...

Who's gonna stop, who's gonna stop
Who's gonna stop the bomb
Who's gonna stop, who's gonna stop
Who's gonna stop the bomb
Are you gonna watch it fall?
Or are you gonna heed the call?
Carried out on resistance frequencies

And now it's wall or nothing to glorious applause
You trample over anyone to make you feel tall
There's a concentration camp being built along your border
Another world is possible, when we refuse the order

Who's gonna stop, who's gonna stop
Who's gonna stop the bomb
Who's gonna stop, who's gonna stop
Who's gonna stop the bomb
Are you gonna watch it fall?
Or are you gonna heed the call?
Carried out on resistance frequencies
Are you gonna watch it fall?
Or are you gonna heed the call?
Carried out on resistance frequencies

Born To Run lyrics - Anti-Flag

Born to run from the law
Born to run from the order
Born to run from the cop
Born to run from the border
This is a farewell kiss, you dog, you fucking snake

Born to run from the law
Born to run from the order
Born to run from the cop
Born to run from the border
This is a farewell kiss, you dog, you fucking snake

I curse the myth we're fed
I calculate the dead
I know the mission hasn't been accomplished yet
15 years of war means 100 more
And that may be where we only begin

I heard Katrina cry
I saw torture denied
I choked and suffocated on the smoke 'em out lie
Maybe the answers we need won't be sold on a screen

Is it the opioids?
The CIA?
The CNN?
The Coca-Cola in our veins?

No one could see disaster staring right in our face?

Is it the air we breathe?
The Flint water stream?
The next iPhone?
Or the Fair Trade coffee?

You gotta start somewhere, if you wanna get nowhere

I won't believe the lie
I wont concede our peace
I now that no righteous words have been written to decease
Crash and burn, toss and turn, somehow we were never prepared

I heard Katrina cry
I saw torture denied
I choked and suffocated on the smoke 'em out lie
Maybe the answers we need won't be sold on a screen

Is it the opioids?
The CIA?
The CNN?
The Coca-Cola in our veins?

No one could see disaster staring right in our face?

Is it the air we breathe?
The Flint water stream?
The next iPhone?
Or the Fair Trade coffee?

You gotta start somewhere, if you wanna get nowhere

Action not reaction as the world decays
As we scream out loud like hell in civil war charades
Stand together as one in the acid rain
Kneel at our bedsides, speak to god we pray

Born to run from the law
Born to run from the order
Born to run from the cop
Born to run from the border
This is a farewell kiss, you dog, you fucking snake

Fight Like Hell lyrics - Anti-Flag

Who we are, how we trust and love
Where we stay, what we choose, who we fuck
Are we not enough
The walls have ears, your ears have walls
Set up to fail, to take the fall
Are we not enough

Bite your tongue to kill the mundane
Grind your teeth to get through one day
Weather out the storm just to save some time
Fight like hell just to stay alive

Survive the test of time

Woah, woah

The barricades close the street
But open the way
Our only chance is to be free
To participate
Watching culture pattern like the weather
Our words in the wind like a feather
Are we not enough
Are we still not enough

Bite your tongue to kill the mundane
Grind your teeth to get through one day
Weather out the storm just to save some time
Fight like hell just to stay alive

Survive the test of time

Survive the test of time

Woah, woah

Survive the test of time

Woah

Who we are, how we trust and love
Where we stay, what we choose, who we fuck
Are we not enough
