Depleted Uranium Is A War Crime lyrics - anti-flag

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"Depleted Uranium is used on the ends of bullets
and on the ends of shells because it is so hard {that}
almost any armament is vulnerable to something that is tipped with Depleted Uranium."

Woahhh!

In the cities and towns of Afghanistan
In the heart of the Balkans - the heart of Iraq
Not your Grandfather's style of deadly munitions
It's silent and deadly long after the mission

Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime

Gonna cut through their armor, then cut through your lungs
If you make it home alive you'll still die young
A greedy gang of liars, yeah we've seen it all before
A moneymaking scheme led by war-profiteering whores

Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"They were throwing it away until they figured out they could use it for armament."

Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - You'll waste a...

We've heard their lies before and we know they're lying again
Feels like a dcj vu of Agent Orange and Vietnam
Weaponry so sadistic it is hard to comprehend
War profits surge with every breath by Uncle Sam

Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime
Depleted uranium is a war crime

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq,
and a woman was there with a very deformed child and
her husband had been in the Iraqi Army and had been
in the battles in Southern Iraq and
came home and they produced a baby with very severe
malformations... Both the Leukemia rates in children and
malformations at birth had increased by 600%
and it was clearly an epidemic where all this
DU had been dumped... It becomes a dust that can be
inhaled and infect the blood stream and the rest
of the body and it was the opinion of the
doctors there that this was caused by depleted uranium...
They simply saw this as being a direct result of the
war by United States."

Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away
Half Life - 4.5 Billion
Half Life - We waste away

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]
"The doctor said,
'Women {in Iraq} at the time of birth don't ask if
it's a boy or a girl, they ask: Is it normal?'
...The military denies first, and then after the evidence
builds to the point where they can no longer deny,
then they do the research. That's what happened in the
Vietnam era around Agent Orange and I suspect and
I'm worried that that's what will happen this time."

Post-War Breakout lyrics - anti-flag

BREAKOUT!
So we breakout!

I'm a post-war breakout (War breakout!)
And a post-war breakdown (Breakdown! Breakdown!)
I'm a post-war syndrome (War syndrome!)
And a post-war hero (Yeah, yeah, yeah :/ )

Just a post-war nerve case
In a pro-war age
And a post-war history face.

I've got a medal, I'm a hero (BREAKOUT!)
I've got an ID, I've got an ego (BREAKDOWN!)
I've got pocketbook, no dough (NO DOLLARS, NO!)
Just a post-war shockjob!

I'm an evil-minded breakdown
I'm a vulgar, thinking crackdown
I'm a NON-COMMIE DRIFTER
I'm an ex-GI for sure, oh sure
Just a post-war nerve case, in a pro-war age
And a post-war history face..let's face our history..NOW!!

I've got a medal, I'm a hero (BREAKOUT!)
I've got an ID, I've got an ego (BREAKDOWN!)
I've got pocketbook, no dough (NO DOLLARS, NO!)
Just a post-war shockjob!

Just a post-war shockjob!
Just a post-war shockjob!
Just a post-war shockjob!

Post-war breakout!
BREAKOUT!
So we breakout

Sold As Freedom lyrics - anti-flag

You want to save the world?
I can tell you what to do!
You want to end terror?
This solution is for you!
Answer the call up join the proud the few.
Pull on the trigger with your heart and soul
Cause war is peace now we know.

Fight fire with fire!
Douse violent flames with gasoline
Fight fire with fire!
Spite your foe with an all out holocaust!
Fight fire with fire!
Pour gasoline on the world inferno,
Burn it so hot that the world incinerates
when they're all dead we'll have no issues to resolve.

To end terror it takes a special skill
kill, kill, kill?
Til there's nothing left to kill!!
Don't question orders-
do your job and move.
It's a 9 to 5 and 5 to 9
to makes sure no one's left alive

Fight fire with fire!
Douse violent flames with gasoline
Fight fire with fire!
Spite your foe with an all out holocaust!
Fight fire with fire!
Pour gasoline on the world inferno,
Burn it so hot that the world incinerates
when they're all dead we'll have no issues to resolve.

Join now! Don't wait! Make death, Your date!!!
Salute and fight! Fight for the wealth

Sold as Freedom it's up to you to see through lies
by those who've led us to endless world strife.
What this world needs is something new!
What this world needs right now is you!
Any dumbfuck can murder kill, kill, kill!!!

Power To The Peaceful lyrics - anti-flag

Sons and daughters of a dream
The urge to struggle for an ideal
To stay and fight
Oppose war fever
Refuse to kill or be killed

There's voices calling in the wind

Power to the Peaceful
Power to the peaceful
Whoa-oh!

Let's Go!
Oh yeah!
Alright!

With a readiness for war
They come down hard in dissent of all forms
Blood and militarism has swept the country by storm

There's voices calling in the wind

Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!
Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!

This is not a war
of the urging people
This is not a war
of economic independance
It's a war for conquest
It's a war for military power
It's a war for money
The road to universal slaughter

Sons and daughters of a dream
The urge to struggle for an ideal
To stay and fight
Oppose war fever
Refuse to kill or be killed

There's voices calling in the wind
Power to the Peaceful
You know it's Power to the Peaceful

Alright, check this out
There's repression and intolerance
On any deviation from the norm
In all factions of your life
At this time of entry
Into war say Hey-Hey
Do you know what they sing. Say Hey! - Hey!
Yeah you know what they sing. Say Hey! - Hey!
Do you know what they sing? Say Hey! - Hey! - Hey!

Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!
Power to the Peaceful
Power to the Peaceful
Whoa-oh!
Alright!
Whoa-oh! Whoa-oh! Whoa-oh!
Yeah!

Mind The G.A.T.T. lyrics - anti-flag

A brand new history
Slyly and quickly
Sparkles in your eyes
Hope your not missing
The flash points/sign posts
Etching the future
From here

Ancient ancestors transmitting via pool formed from rainfall
Where my reflection stares back at me and says
As the sun sets bright over ancient earth and disappears from view
The spirit of the world will rise up from the dis again
Our voices sing in union
Lifless, soulless, secret abyss
Plotting the worlds doom
Production and consumption wakes the sleeping world to sing again
Our voices sing in union

From african coasts to australian mainland
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
From the american plains to the sea of japan
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread

As evil hacks and rips at every corner of the world
The peoples voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union
To implement a Paul Hawken-Esque model for the world
The people voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union

The Arabian sea to the coast of chile
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
The plateau of tibet to the bay of biscay
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread

Rethink... Fucking dig in!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

You Can Kill The Protestor, But You Can't Kill The Protest lyrics - anti-flag

You can spoon my eyes out,
but I can still see through you
Slice my ears from my head,
but you can not shut out the sounds of truth
Lock off each sound at the wrist
so I can't raise my fist!

you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion

Sawed my feet at the ankles, but i wasnt going to run
Grabbed my face, sliced off my tongue
Lock off each hand at the wrist,
so I can't raise my fist!

you can kill the protestor (can't kill)
you can't kill the protest
you can murder the rebel (murder)
you can't murder the rebellion

LYING STILL NOW, NO WAY TO SPEAK. NOTHING TO FEAR, BULLETS CAN'T SILENCE IDEAS!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

America blown to smithereens.
Your friends, your home, your life your family.

Smithereens. I wish i could say this was unforseen.

Well, they're planting the seeds on destruction's eve.
Then take away your rights to keep you free.

Then take away your rights to keep you free
on your knees still the vengeance of the world

Our flesh turned to ash will scatter in the wind.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Such a wicked force you had never seen though countless times it took place in your name.

When you don't control your own government people want to kill you.
People want to kill you.

Wake Up! lyrics - anti-flag

If I had a lighter in hands
With some oily rags
Is that what it'd take
To wake you from your sleep?
Woke up from your American dreams
To be surrounded
Surrounded in flames!

You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
AND I WON'T STOP SCREAMING
UNTIL MINE IS HEARD!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!

YEAH!

And if we blocked the streets
Everyday
Face down on the pavement
As we lay
You're angered
That you're five minutes late.
What happens next time
When we will stop you all day?
Yeah, next time
When we will stop you all day?

You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
AND I WON'T STOP SCREAMING
UNTIL MINE IS HEARD!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you

and it's the same song, sung
Sung at the top of our lungs
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
SCREAMING FOR FREEDOM
PLEADING FOR LIBERTY
FREEDOM!

Tearing Down The Borders lyrics - anti-flag

No one flag flies over the multi-national company.
No allegiance to the board's homeland, fellow citizens, the flag born of their country.
As the brainwashed nationalists move,
To shed their blood on battle fields.
War profiteering rich watch their stocks reap high yields.

We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.

GO!

No patriotic pledge from multi-national companies.
Only a commitment to lock away equality and steal away all freedom from the poorest of the poor.
So that the boardroom can insure
their stockholders profits are higher in return.

We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.
We're tearing down the borders!
We're fighting for the rights of freedom!
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh.

It's our world.
Let's take it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's our world.
Let's take it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's our world.
We want it back!
Let's set ourselves free oh woah oh.
It's your world.
Take your world back!

Take it, fucking back.

There's a call
A ringing sound
Around the globe
Its gaining ground
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh.

There's a voice in your heart
It beckons you to do your part
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh!

The line is drawn
In the sand
On one side your a slave
The other a free man
We're tearing down the borders, oh oh!
There's a call
Freedom's sound
Around the globe
Its gaining ground!
We're tearing down the border
We're tearing down the border
We're tearing down the borders, WOAH!

Death Of A Nation lyrics - anti-flag

When all you need was a little motivation
They pointed fingers and yelled dead generation
When all you need was a little care
You get nothing but an old white hair bland stare
Have you ever needed an ounce of love
And all you got was a whole lot of fucked
So say your prayers
It's the death of a nation
Say your prayers
For the dead generation
Condescending broad generalizations
Get real old real fast
Just because most hippies and their parents have sold out
Does not mean that you, your children and their kids won't last...
So say your prayers
It's the death of a nation
Say your prayers
For the dead generation
Agressivness is godliness
Combativness is holiness
Destructiveness is faithfullness
Deadliness is devoutness
Praying to a god that they created
And know damn well does not exist...
We find them on their knees

The people, united, will never be defeated.

Alright!

Time to see the world as a whole!
Time to light the fire with the fuel!
That's a conscience movement,
in our hearts.
Everywhere you look red white and blue
Everywhere you look they're fooling you.

Every revolutionary
was once considered an enemy
Cointel underminded the life
Of Dr. Martin Luther King
Everywhere you look red white and blue
Everywhere you look they're fooling you.

One people, one struggle!
Stand United, Stand Peaceful!
One people, one struggle.

Time to see the world as a whole.
Time to light the fire with the fuel.
That's a conscience movement,
in each and every one of your hearts!
Everywhere you look red white and blue
Everywhere you look they're fooling you.

One people, one struggle!
Stand United, Stand Peaceful!
One people, one struggle.

One people, one struggle!
Stand United, Stand Peaceful!
One people, one struggle.

The union,
Of free thinking,
Colors don't,
Mean liberty.
The union,
Of free thinking,
The union,
Of free thinking.

The people, united, will never be defeated.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
The people, united, will never be defeated!

One people, one struggle!
Stand United, Stand Peaceful!

911 For Peace lyrics - anti-flag

It's in the paper every day
I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah
Another life leaves this world (this world) so full of hate
But short
Short on compassion
Short on humanity
Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock,
"do we even have a chance?"

I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human.
It's time to prove it.

This is a plea for peace (world peace)
To the oppressors of the world and to
To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers,
to the everday citizen
Greed, envy, fear, hate-- the competition has to stop.
When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up
Set our differences aside and never look back, no

I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human
It's time to prove it.

Isn't everybody tired of the fighting? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the killing? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the dying? (hey, hey)
Isn't everybody tired of the hatred? (hey, hey)
Violence.. fighting... killing...dying.. aaaaaah!!

[excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:]
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream
we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join
hands and sing
"Free at last, free at last.
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."

I don't wanna die
(I don't wanna kill)
I don't wanna kill
(I don't wanna die)
We are all human
It's time to prove it.

We are all human
It's time to prove it.
We are all human...

Mumia's Song lyrics - anti-flag

Arm in Arm - Fists held high
"set them free" - our battle cry
Take back the streets
And our right to free speech
Locked up and put away
For fear of what they'll say

[Chorus]
Crooked cops plus crooked judges, don't equal justice
Free all political prisoners
Racist cops plus racist judges, don't equal justice
Free all political prisoners

Brick by brick - wall by wall
Wont sit back - let our brothers and sisters fall
The unjust justice system
Our voice will overthrow

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Leonard Peltier
Father Roy Bourgeois
The Angola 3
The MOVE 9
Ken Sara Wiwa
Lori Brenson
Like Nelson Mandela
Keep hope alive... KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!

Brick by brick, wall by wall...
We're gonna free Mumia Abu-Jamal
Brick by brick, wall by wall...
We're gonna free Mumia Abu-Jamal
Brick by brick, wall by wall...
FREE MUMIA ABU-JAMAL!!!

No justice, No peace, No racist police [x4]
Free all political prisoners [x3]

What's The Difference? lyrics - anti-flag

The constitution crumbles beneath the weight of fascists
No right to assemble - no free speech for the masses
Seattle '99 the mayors decree
Anti-W.T.O. statements are grounds for arresting!

[Chorus]
Our leaders decry Tianamen
And dare to speak of freedom
As they unleash our cops on us
So... what's... the fuckin' difference

[Bridge]
Behind locked doors in session
World sponsored corporate politicians
Structure policy to build more coporate strength
Fight strength - with strength
At news conferences they claim, "we listen"
while they lock out their own constituents
So we march on to raise our voice
Because we are left with no choice!!!

In China, Nike pays workers fifty cents a day
In the U.S., lawmakers give China "free trade"
Human rights-based sanctions just washed away
When our lawmakers are owned by multinational's money

[Chorus]

We Want To Be Free lyrics - anti-flag

All night out on the streets
I got the back of all my friends
We never want to go back home
Never want the night to end

[Chorus]
Because we want to be... FREE!
We want to be...FREE!

[Bridge]
The schools that they send us to are prisons
The same can be said for their churches too
I don't want my mind or my arms tied in bondage
I don't want to be another cloned state tool
When I'm with my friends, when I'm at a show
Thats when everything is OK
Thats why I follow my heart every single day
Single day... EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

Nbc (No Blood-Thirsty Corporations) lyrics - anti-flag

I heard a man on the radio saying, "we're facing an economic hell"
It creates a vision in my head of ten thousand kids sent off to kill
Theres always a voice that says, "you've got a choice"
But a choice between shit is still shit!!

[Chorus]
Resistance, Resistance
I won't be used
By a fascist corporation, a rightwing politician,
I'm not a slave, not a tool, fuck you!

I've got an idea in my head and I know it is nothing new
But it seems to me a better plan than being used, and being screwed
Think your safe to spread your hate from behind your iron gate's
Your walls will never be strong enough to keep us down

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Sometimes there is not a choice, like when your backs against the wall
So it's better to make a move, before they've set you up to fall
SO YOU... so you better organize
SO YOU... so you better open eyes
SO YOU... so you better sound out loud the call
Before you find your back is up against the wall
THEIR fucking wall

[Chorus]

Right To Choose lyrics - anti-flag

Thrown out by her family
In the midst of anger
Mom and dad can't make sense
Of her sexual preference
It seems the cars
Just drive by on this night
No one has any idea
What this feels like

You wave your flag
Tell me I'm free
Then use the word fag
To fuck with me

Judged by parents and the public
The Fingers pointed at them
Well I'll point mine right back
They Must Realize
You can't change whom you love
And gender is not the issue

That night she said, "I will be true"
Meant every word she said to you

It seems today, to be yourself
Takes so much courage and strength
If you were half the human, as people who "come out"
This world would be a better place

You wave your flag
Tell me I'm free
Then use the word fag
To fuck with me
Go and wave your flag [x3]
I'm free, fucking free!! YeaHH!!

We Don't Need It lyrics - anti-flag

[Verse:]
Lost on the street because you don't know what to do,
There's something in your heart that's coming over you,
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!
It takes you back to a better time and place,
The leaders of this world have shortchanged the human race,
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

[Chorus:]
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
One look at the world and it promts these words,
"WE DON'T NEED IT!"

[Verse:]
The state of The State, it makes you feel sick,
Back stabbing, dollar driven status quo shit!
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!
That's when you made a pledge to yourself,
"I'm gonna live my life to build a better world!"
SOMETHING IN YOU-
SOMETHING IN YOUR HEART!

[Chorus:]
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
One look at the world and it promts these words,
"WE DON'T NEED IT!"

[Bridge:]
Take a good look at the sad state of the world,
(sad, state)
Don't you know it starts with you and that it starts with me?!?!

This is the new fucking millennium (BRAND NEW AGE!)
We're going to turn the world UPSIDE DOWN! (ON IT'S HEAD!)
It's time to show some true humanity,
And time to show we truly care...

For the world,
For each other,
For those we've known...
Through all our years.

[Chorus:]
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
Now we're building, building a new future.
We've spent our lives living in their past,
One look at the world and it promts these words,
"WE DON'T NEED IT!"

Anatomy Of Your Enemy lyrics - anti-flag

10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war:
Listen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our lives.
It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated.
We need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth.

First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you.

Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you.
Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits
fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job,
they are heartless murderers who enjoy killing!

Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them
with all disseminated information.

Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information
this can be done through state run media.
Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information.
Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run.

Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different.
Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine.

[Chorus:]
THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY. THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR.
THIS IS HOW TO CREATE AN ENEMY.

Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party.
Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between.
One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor.

Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions.
This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom."
This can also be achieved by the use of flags.

Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity.
It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god's will" or "god bless our nation."

Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers
have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.
Make it clear that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill.

Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instability
and then offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort the public's fears.
Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.

[Chorus (repeat)]

We are not countries. We are not nations. We are not religions.
We are not gods. We are not weapons. We are not ammunition. We are not killers.
We will NOT be tools.

Mother fuckers
I will not die
I will not kill
I will not be your slave
I will not fight your battle
I will not die on your battlefield
I will not fight for your wealth
I am not a fighter
I am a human being!!!

Tearing Everyone Down lyrics - anti-flag

i thought i'd begun to see a change but the more things change, the more they stay the same back stabbing and name calling, the trade marks of your act you talk and talk of unity, but divide with your attacks (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..." all us kids, we try to make a change some kids start a band, others start a zine you, no matter what your path you throw a curve in what could be achieved, then give up and move onto some other thing (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..." take a break from your fights, try to open up your mind tonight when you feel that's complete then we can tackle this society! you may not like everything in life i do... but that doesn't mean, i'm not trying to change the same problems as you (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..."

Spaz's House Destruction Party [Live] lyrics - anti-flag

I want to tell a little story 'bout a party that went all right, but went all wrong
I want to tell a little story 'bout a party in this song...

it happened back in '93, in the Pittsburgh punk rock scene
an event that will go down, in infamy
it was all the master plan, of one legendary punk rock kid
his name was "spaz", s-p-a-z...

an eviction notice to his house sparked off an idea,
"I should have one last party at my place..."
so off he set with his master plan, the invitations in his hand read,
and you're invited to my house destruction party

[Chorus:]
spaz's house destruction party, it was chaos with no end
if you were crazy enough to make the house destruction party
then you know you're lucky that you lived

we played there st. Patrick's day, with submachine and the bad genes
in a basement full of debris
from kicked in doors to broken glass to knocked out walls, the place was trashed
the house was now missing its support beams

the bathrooms had no toilets or sinks left in them
there was nothing in the kitchen left to break
aus rotten spray painted on walls, drunk punks passed out in the halls
and this was just the second night, of a three-day long party

[Chorus]

the cops showed up and all the kids went piling out the back
I remember running away and hiding out in the lot behind the squirrel hill mellon bank
the cop said, "I want to speak to someone who lives here!" and this punk kid said she did
he asked, "is this the condition this house has always been in?" she answered,
"ah... yea it is"

[Chorus]

America Got It Right lyrics - anti-flag

I was in Chico, California,
Talking to a foreinger,
when a facist threatened me
He hoped to threaten-to harass
cause although he could kick my ass-he knew

He could never kill what I believe

The best of the best, the best in the world - THE USA!
Sinking - no drowning in a sea of excess gluttony
As the rest of the world does struggle
to keep up the pace
It seems America got it right by doing...
THE REST OF THE WORLD WRONG!

Zero knowledge of understanding,
of U.S. governemntal actions, in the states of overseas
Mystified history, Quotes spewed from corporate media waves-
Turns the public into a herd of sheep

"Equal Rights". "Justice". "Democratic Role".
"Freedom". "Equality".
All just a total, "FUCK YOU!"
Empty words in the president slurs, in every speech
While scheming behind closed doors, with the C.I.A.
To undermine DEMOCRACY!
To undermine AUTONOMY!
To undermine the stability of any leftist populus regime
Making the president a TERRORIST!
Making the U.S.A. a TERRORIST!
U.S. tax dollars fund, terror, terror, terror... TERROR!!!

IT SEEMS AMERICA MUST HAVE GOTTEN IT RIGHT!

Smash It To Pieces lyrics - anti-flag

A psychic said to me - (WHAT DID SHE SAY?)
She said, "You know I gotta a very special feeling,
That truth and freedom will break out today!"
(BREAK DOWN THE WALLS TODAY!)
"Cause there's a message in the cards- it reads:
Today's the day to break the fuckin' mold!
SMASH IT TO PIECES,
while singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4..."

Paper to pen; yeah smash it all to pieces
Become a vehicle that blossoms thruth and freedom
Every city, every street, every town-
new pulse; heartbeat!

A vision came to me - (IN A DREAM?)
Not in a dream while sitting at the subway station
Waiting for the train to take me away
(FROM THIS WRETCHED DARK PLACE!)
It might have been an angel or a ghost -
I don't know?
But its message came through
shining crystal clear:
"SMASH IT TO PIECES,
while singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4..."

There's not a name you can assign it
More than a movement
it's the fabric that makes up a human being
There's nothing stupid but love,
caring, peace instead of guns
So now we've got to
take to that message to the streets!
Through our art, through our hard work,
get on your feet!

No Borders, No Nations lyrics - anti-flag

I always thought if you want to change the world
Then you have to start with yourself
So if the heads of state want to end terrorism
They should go ahead and kill themselves

I will not sign my blind faith away
To an unjustly leader of the unjust police state
Corporate masters live in their cess pool
Of extreme wealth and excess
Whoa Oh

The phrase world leaders
Does not describe the heads of state
Those few in power
Work only for the corporate sake
No action, no interest, no humanity at all
As the corporate towers rise up
They watch the people fall

A governement run by the corporations of the world
Enslaving mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters
Profits put before people
Equal force, equal reaction
Equal suppression, equal intimidations
Equal propaganda, equal rebellion

We've got to make a change
No religions, sexual preference
And regardless of your race
We've got to make a change
No war, corporate run
Governements, no police state
We've got to make a change
For the good of the human race
And you still look me in the eye
And you still wonder why
Your cities fucking burn

No borders, no nations
No flags, no patriots

Gifts From America: With Love, The U.S.A. lyrics - anti-flag

The world keeps turning and I keep fighting
'cause what else are you to do?
When there's a fascist telling you,
"It's time you were put in your place!"
As he salutes the Stars and Stripes
By raising fists and starting fights,
Like an aberration from Hitler's Nazi Riech

NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I'm fucking proud of who I am!

National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?

Everyone keeps asking,
"Why's he so pissed and so angry?"
When there's killing in this world,
of men and womyn, boys and girls
For the sake of a dividend gain
These actions proclaimed in our name,
turn Stars and Stripes to shades of shame
"Gifts from America: With Love, The U.S.A"

NOT PROUD - Of my skin
NOT PROUD - Of where I live
I'm fucking proud of who I am... I AM HUMAN!

National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?

This country's flag flies as a corporate symbol
This country's flag strikes hearts with fear-COLD FEAR!
This country's flag represents oil interests
The president wages an endless war so he can,
Justify stealing fucking billions
Steal the public's rights through the use of fear, use of fear...
That is a system I can not endorse

National pride inside you
Building you up, or limiting you?
Fighting for what on the battlefield?
Humanity? Corporate control and greed?
Look for the truth you'll see...
MADISON AND JEFFERSON
ARE TURNING IN THEIR GRAVES!

The Freaks, Nerds, & Romantics lyrics - anti-flag

[Originally by Bouncing Souls]

I got a song stuck in my head
Walking down street number nine
I sing it out loud with my friends
And we're all having a good time
We all waited for weeks
Now we're hanging on the street in NYC
We gotta go to the show
Even though we're all underage
Outside the firehall in PA
It rained on three hundred kids all day
When the cops shut it down no one went away

We're Gonna Play No Matter What They Say

Three or four people showed up in Albuquerque
The alternator died
Somewhere between Mankato and Rapid City
Strangers in some strange lands in L.A.
The enchiladas made us sick but that's ok
Growing Up
We didn't want to be like them
It was tough to know
Who were our friends
Killing time playing basements
Way back when
In a lot of ways nothings changed
From now and them
Some say they have been let down
I wonder why they still hang around
I wonder where all these good things could be
Then I realize that somehow I found them in me

We're Gonna Play No Matter What They Say

Ever Fallen In Love lyrics - anti-flag

[Written by Pete Shelley]

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Angry, Young And Poor lyrics - anti-flag

GO.......OH YEAH.............GO

he knows he'll be alone tonight,
while contemplating, "What can i do?"
The lack of hope leaves him feeling violent,
it's not that he's looking for a fight,
it's just... he don't know where to turn,
more stress than help,
from home and school,
and on the streets his life's out of control...

Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
[x2]

She never even had a chance,
mental, sexual, physical violence
not once she heard an encouraging word,
just the phrase, "you better shut up!" and "you're going nowhere!"
her sad stories,
all left untold
so her life became something,
so out of control...

Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
[x2]

don't know where to turn
don't know what to do...

Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!

Politicians talk it up,
about their love, for the USA's youth
But when it comes time to put up,
their rhetoric falls back on every excuse
every excuse, every excuse...

Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
[x2]

don't know where to turn
don't know what to do...

Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!

This Machine Kills Fascists lyrics - anti-flag

We've run out of patience,
You've run out of time !
This scene will not fall victim
To your violence or lies.

Your "values" are nothing
But excuses to start fights.
Quit fronting like you're standing
For a moral cause tonight...

United as one, we won't stand aside,
You tried to fuck with our scene... We're gonna fuck your life !!!

This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS FUCKING FASCISTS !
Dead... That's right, DEAD !

You don't have to be a rascist,
To be a nazi, fuck !
Your mindless nationalism
Gives you credentials enough.

You spew your right wing rhetoric,
When we got your attention...
You've mistaken the punk scene
For the Republican Convention !

No more infiltration, no more right wing lies,
You don't belong in our scene... We'll fight you till we die !!!

This machine, this machine. This machine... THIS MACHINE,
KILLS FUCKING FASCISTS !
Dead... ahhh... DIE !

Underground Network lyrics - anti-flag

The national media cover Clinton/Lewinsky
While the world's governments sell out millions on the issue of free trade
But somewhere in the night -- A force is not asleep
And a massive organization plans to rise up to its feet...
It happens like this...

A pirate radio voice transmits into the night
And from D.C. to Peking email warns of lost global rights
And the hoax the world's leaders, wanted no one to see
Comes crashing on their heads from grass roots
Striking it down the blows coming for the world's...

Vieques, Puerto Rico: Bikini Revisited lyrics - anti-flag

All united, all as one, let's make a stand...
We've got a privilege in the power that we command !
So let's not drown in ignorance,
And let our strenght waste away...
As the richest nation in the world, we've got a responsibility !

Vieques, Puerto Rico, a pretectorate -- of the USA.
Part a home for native families, the rest...
A NAVY BOMBING RANGE !!

Shells misfired kill civilians there,
And napalm hangs in the island air.
But the government beats down protests against this misuse...

So...

STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE !!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...
So,
STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE !!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...

I look into the eyes, of a dead island boy's face.
His (eyes) remind me of another's,
From a different time and place...

Where A-Bombs baked the ground,
Of Bikini's tropical lands.
Where a culture was erased,
Families misplaced,
BY A NAZI-ESQUE LIKE PLAN !!!

All done, in your name, by Uncle Sam...
So if we don't fight it, then we're guilty to !

So...

STAND UP, FIGHT BACK, RESIST-REFUSE !!
'Cause if we don't do it, no one's going to...

I think it's 'bout time that we had a change...
I think it's 'bout time that WE MAKE A CHANGE !!

Stars And Stripes lyrics - anti-flag

welcoming with open arms and, with open hearts
in the end they found their arms in shackles and their hearts torn out
this country named "america", is built on graves
of the natives who lived here before, genocide took place
the word "america" means "freedom" - as in, "free to kill the free..."

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me... For me!

it's the same today as then, as U.S. (tax) dollars are spent
to rid the native insurgence in Mexico, and any other U.S. (corporate) "interests"
the 3rd world is a modern day playground, for multinational companies
and the tax dollars we're forced to pay, fund these heartless U.S. policies
their explanation... "it's national interest, national security..."

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

at little big horn national cemetery, there's a monument that reads: "to the soldiers killed in montana while clearing
hostile indians away... '
and there's a flag there flying high, over the fallen killers' graves
when they call on me to die for them i'll say... "not me!"


don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe...
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me...

don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me, for me
they Stand for greed, they stand for hate, for nothing i believe
don't fly those stripes, those stars-and-stripes for me... me... me!!!

Watch The Right lyrics - anti-flag

watch your right watch your left watch the right watch the center and watch your back!

it's on the radio, it's on the TV news
conservatives and liberals
with ever clashing views but as the days go by
i can't tell which side is talking their left is in the center
and labeled "liberal doctrine"

they do nothing for you...
they do nothing for me... no!
they give us nothing to believe
watch your right watch your left watch the right watch the center and watch your back! [x2]

let the feds pass a law, that takes your rights away cause
"you gotta sacrifice if you want to stay safe!"
til the day you find the feds in your back pocket
locking you away for saying, "question", "think", or "stop it"

they do nothing for you...
they do nothing for me... no!
they give us nothing to believe
watch your right watch your left watch the right watch the center and watch your back! [x2]

joseph mccarthy and reagan
set the motherfuckin' stage for the right leanings that now grip the u.s.a.
they framed and jailed the reds
lost the keys to the cell set up
the capitalist machine to go in for the kill... yeah... yeah... yeah...

social divisions encouraged by the few - few!
those few in power - suckerin' suckers like you - you!
as corporate welfare, flows from troughs of the state - state!
yeah big business, takes more than their fair take - take!
but in the end it is suckers like you - you!
who buy that the poor, are givin' you the screw - screw!
can't you realize that it's just talk, talk, talk, talkin'...
like tax men at your door, fuckin' knockin' knockin' knockin'...
watch your right watch your left watch the right watch the center and watch your back! [x4]

From the rich - middle class, the state
Compassion - dumped for
Apathy - the greatest nation ever seen?
That’s fuckin' real hard to believe

Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We’re not gonna back down! Culture revolution!
Take to the streets - cause it's time to make a stand
We're not gonna back down! Culture revolution!

Bring Out Your Dead lyrics - anti-flag

Spend a lifetime working for these people
To make what they earn in one day
There are options to choose, I call it Social Progress
Progress to not be abused

They were arrested for their views
It was the protesters they screwed
And still had the nerve to ask
Who I was voting for
Cause when you silence our youth
Then you silence the truth
Our right not to remain...

YEAH!!!

Start funding lives that move for changes
Not funding leaders that oppress and use
When politicians become nothing more but major corporations
Posing as humans, real humans lose...

They were arrested for their views
It was the protesters they screwed
And still had the nerve to ask
Who I was voting for
Cause when you silence our youth
Then you silence the truth
Our right not to remain...
SILENT!!!

I won't remain
I won't remain silent
I won't remain
I won't remain SILENT!!!!

Bring out your dead...
Oppression
Intimidation
Suppression

Until It Happens To You lyrics - anti-flag

You walk past an activist, who is talking on the street
About political prisoners, locked up in your own home state
And you think just for a minute, you think just a second
Then you say, "That can't be true!
Cause I live in the land of the freedom... where no one gets the screw!"

You turn your face, you turn your back
You say, "That can't be true!"
You stay safe lost in your prefab world
Cause you're sure it won't happen to you
You're sure it won't happen to you
Just wait till it happens to you!

You’ve heard it every day, since the first day of your life
But you never stopped to think, what you heard was full of lies
You can't think just for a minute, can't think just for a second
Cause you're nothing but a tool
Whose thoughts are tailored and fashioned
Each night by the evening news

You turn your face, you turn your back
You say, "That can't be true!"
You stay safe lost in your prefab world
Cause you're sure it won't happen to you
You're sure it won't happen to you
Just wait till it happens to you!

You could stand on the street, talk 'til you're blue in the face
And they would not make you stop, cause you have no power base
But if Dan Rather got on the Evening News,
And said, "It’s time for revolution!"
The F.B.I. would fuck him up so bad
He’d wish he wasn't living!

They call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
And they call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
Yeah they call it America, "land of the free, home of the brave"
More to the truth it's a murderer, it's the land of the Enslaved!

You turn your face, you turn your back
You say, "That can't be true!"
You stay safe lost in your prefab world
Cause you're sure it won't happen to you
You're sure it won't happen to you
You’re sure it won’t happen to
Sure it won’t happen
Sure it won’t happen to you!

"A New Kind Of Army" (1999)




Captain Anarchy lyrics - anti-flag

A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !

He says that for the punk rock scene
He'd give his fucking life,
But he only ever paid to see a show once
maybe twice...

Instead he stands outside the halls
And pan handles for beer,
Then sneaks into the hall
To deface the bathroom mirror !

A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
His name is "captain anarchy",
But only in his mind...
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
So punk that he's a poser and he'll be one
till he dies !

You never saw an anarchist
With such perfect hair,
Or so many ten dollar spikes,
Or so much punk rock gear...

He said he used his welfare checks
To buy his boots and plaids...
In reality it was all paid for
By his mommy and his dad !

A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
His name is "captain anarchy",
But only in his mind...
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
He's anarchy incarnate but only in his (mind)...

You know he just can see,
OI! OI! OI! OI!
It's up to you and me...
OI! OI! OI! OI!
I don't want to be,
OI! OI! OI! OI!
Fighting, let's stride for...
Some unity!!!

...Let's go!!

A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
His name is "captain anarchy",
But only in his mind...
A-N-A-R-C-H-Y !
So punk that he's a poser and he'll be one
till he dies !
