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

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
