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

We all know who you are yeah
We all know who you are
We all know who you are

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

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

We all know who you are
We all know who you are
We all know who you are
We all know who you are

We all know who you are
We all know who you are
We all know who you are
We all know who you are

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?
