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

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
