We're looking for a better world, but what do we see? Just hatred, poverty, aggression, misery. So much money spent on war When three quarters of the world is so helplessly poor. Major General Despair sits at his desk, Planning a new mode of attack, He's quite unconcerned about chance or risk, The Major General's a hard nut to crack. Oh yes, he designs a cruise missile, Tactically sound, operationally O.K., While the starving crawl onto the deathpile, They can't avoid their fate another day. Attack on the mind, but he calls it defense, But I ask you again who's it for? Do the starving millions who don't stand a chance Hope to benefit by his stupid war? Babies crippled with hunger before they could walk, Mothers with dry breasts cry dry tears, And meanwhile Major General Despair gives a talk On increasing the war budget over the years. How can they do it, these men of steel, How can they plot destruction, pain? Is it the only way that they can feel, By killing again and again? Is it some part of themselves that has died That permits them to plan as they do? Or is it us that is dead, do we simply hide From the responsibility to stop what they do? There's so many of us, yet we let them have their way, At this moment they're plotting and planning. We've got to rise up to take their power away, To save the world that they're ruining. They're destroying the world with their maggot-filled heads, Death, pain and mutilation, They've got the responsibility of millions of dead. Yet they're still bent on destruction. The generals and politicians who advocate war should be made to wade in the truth of it, They should spend sleepless nights shivering with fear and by day time should crawl in the deathpit. They'll find the truth of what they've done there, Festering corpses they and their kind made, Eyeless skulls that endlessly stare Having seen the truth of military trade. The earth was our home, the wind and the air, The blue sky, the grass and the trees, But these masters of war, what do they care? Only sentiments, these. It's our world but through violence they took it away, Took dignity, happiness, pride. They took all the colours and changed them to grey With the bodies of millions that died. They destroy real meaning through their stupid games, Make life a trial of fear. They destroy what values we have with their aims, Make us feel it's wrong if we care. Well, we do care, it's our home, they've been at it too long, If it's a fight they want, it's beginning. Throughout history, we've been expected to sing their tired song But now it's our turn to lead the singing... Fight war, not wars, Make peace, not war. Fight war, not wars, We know you've heard it before. Fight war, not wars, Make peace, not war. Fight war, not wars, Make peace, not war. Fight war, not wars, Make love, not war. Fight war, not wars, Make love, not war. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 We don't want your fucking war. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 We don't want your fucking war. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 We don't want your fucking war. |

Conflict was a better band. No offense to you, their music is great, but they tried to force a lifestyle which didnt jive with their music. Conflict is much better. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 828495Thank you. Can you throw me some links to the songs you like. I found crass yesterday lol |

Yes that's right, punk is dead, It's just another cheap product for the consumers head. Bubblegum rock on plastic transistors, Schoolboy sedition backed by big time promoters. CBS promote the Clash, But it ain't for revolution, it's just for cash. Punk became a fashion just like hippy used to be And it ain't got a thing to do with you or me. Movements are systems and systems kill. Movements are expressions of the public will. Punk became a movement cos we all felt lost, But the leaders sold out and now we all pay the cost. Punk narcissism was social napalm, Steve Jones started doing real harm. Preaching revolution, anarchy and change As he sucked from the system that had given him his name. Well I'm tired of staring through shit stained glass, Tired of staring up a superstars arse, I've got an arse and crap and a name, I'm just waiting for my fifteen minutes fame. Steve Jones you're napalm, If you're so pretty (vacant) why do you swarm? Patti Smith you're napalm, You write with your hand but it's Rimbaud's arm. And me, yes I, do I want to burn? Is there something I can learn? Do I need a business man to promote my angle? Can I resist the carrots that fame and fortune dangle? I see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear, The social elite with safety-pins in their ear, I watch and understand that it don't mean a thing, The scorpions might attack, but the systems stole the sting. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. PUNK IS DEAD. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 839788 Ireland 12/13/2009 05:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anarchy = the maturity and ability to not turn into a murdering rapist without the threat of law keeping you "in check". Anarchy= a society capable of existing without the need for restrictions and "laws" because people are capable of living and allowing others to live. Anarchy does NOT simply mean no leaders... no leaders is a natural side effect of an anarchistic society, they simply would not be required. But you can see why tptb do not like that idea... in a functioning anarchistic society they would cease to exist, so we see the political ideology of anarchy stripped of its content and turned into a synonym for the words "chaos" and "disorder", which is definitely is NOT. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with chaos and disorder either tbh... |

They can stuff their punk credentials Cause it's them that take the cash. They won't change nothing with their fashionable talk, All their RAR badges and their protest walk, Thousands of white men standing in a park, Objecting to racism's like a candle in the dark. Black man's got his problems and his way to deal with it, So don't fool yourself you're helping with your white liberal shit. If you care to take a closer look at the way things really stand, You'd see we're all just bye byes to the rulers of this land. Punk was once an answer to years of crap, A way of saying no where we'd always said yep. But the moment we saw a way to be free, They invented a dividing line, street credibility. The qualifying factors are politics and class, Left wing macho street fighters willing to kick arse. They said because of racism they'd come out on the street. It was just a form of fascism for the socialist elite. Bigotry and blindness, a marxist con, Another clever trick to keep us all in line. Neat little labels to keep us all apart, To keep us all divided when the troubles start. Pogo on a nazi, spit upon a jew, Vicious mindless violence that offers nothing new. Left wing violence, right wing violence, all seems much the same, Bully boys out fighting, it's just the same old game. Boring fucking politics that'll get us all shot, Left wing, right wing, you can stuff the lot. Keep your petty prejudice, I don't see the point, ANARCHY AND FREEDOM IS WHAT I WANT. |
