I hid inside my room like a fucking coward. and the past 18 months flashed before me in the last eight long hours.. A little less than amazing: you finally got a rise out of me..
There was nothing remotely romantic about it.. No hand-me-down sob-stories, either nurtured or genetic.. So what exactly did I consider so god-damned important.
Self-doubt, and people saying we're not worth shit.. Talking behind our backs.. They say we're a walking contradiction of ourselves.. Our message isn't getting through..
i think that, i'm of course opposed to terror or any rational person is but I think that if we're serious about the question of terror serious about the question of violence, we have to recognize that it is a tactical and hence moral matter. incidentally, tactical issues are basically moral issues. they have to do with human consequences and if we're interested in let's say diminishing the amount of violence in the world, it's at least arguable and perhaps even sometimes true that a terroristic act does diminish the amount of violence in the world. hence a person who is opposed to violence will not be opposed to that terroristic act..
When the credits finally. roll, on this the. worst story ever. told, don't bother. sifting through the names. for yours or anyone you know, unless they.
My father told me "Son, it's futile to resist. You can topple the ideology but. not the armies they enlist." I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts.
Superbowl patriots cheer half-time propaganda, fake titties, tooting trumpets. "FREEDOM" is in lights and is shitting itself out of Post-Hippy "Call me Sir" Paul McCartney's multi-millionaire fucking mouth. Machine guns raised. Kegs secure. Beers held high! The (Presidential) Liar is in the house. Bono's in the house! We're DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED!.
My father told me "son, it's futile to resist,. You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist.". I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting war..
We are the tyrants, messengers of Satan. We pledge you all raise your hands. This is the solstice hail, legions arise. We'll raise the roof, touch the skies.
It's like I'm a fucking fuse. And you're a fucking hot flame.. And now I'm daring you. To step up into my path.. You're a billboard in my face.. A bullhorn in my ear..
Oi!. Ska sucks,. Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fuck,. The bands are only in it for the bucks,. And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck,. But the trend will die out with any luck,.
We spoke our minds too clearly.. We assumed fundamental rights were inherent. not as pawns but humyns.. I do not require a gauge for freedom of speech.
Don't tell me that you say you care. while you're fucking sacrificing nothing.. Don't even mention the word oppression. while you're driving Daddy's Jaguar..
Our cities seem to function quite the same: sweeping ghettos under one big rug makes them easier to contain, so the upper-middle class can sleep (or shop in peace) and convince themselves that trickle-down will solve this poverty. Yes, murderers walk our streets and their weapons are their pens, desks, policies and P.R. campaigns (fed by the spoils of war) against the lazy, shiftless populations of the poor. This system cannot be reformed... (so how about we try something different?).
I fuckin love that one rock video where that fucking jack-ass mohawked millionaire prances around by far the worst sausage party on earth, where by mere chance hes caught on film shaking hands with an incredibly diverse collection of patriotic skins. I like the message it sends: With a Rebel yell, Just Do Exactly What Youre Told. One million douche bags cant be wrong? When did punk rock become so safe? Youll excuse me if I laugh in your face as I itemize your receipts and PowerPoint your balance sheets. I hear this years Vans Warped Tour is going green! I guess they heard that money grows on trees. Hope they ship all those shitty bands overseas like they did the factories. Musics power to describe, compel, renew Its all a distant second to the offers you cant refuse. Anyone remember when we used to believe that music was a sacred place and not some fucking bank machine? Not something you just bought and sold? How could we have been so nave? Well, I think when all is said and done, just cuz we were young doesnt mean we were wrong. And Ill rock back and forth on this two-bit hobbyhorse til she splinters and gives way. Ill tend the flowers by her grave. And whisper her name. If anyone out there understands can I please see a show of hands just so I know Im not insane? Ever get the feeling you been played? Well, thats rock for sustainable capitalism and you know, we may face a scorched and lifeless earth, but theyre accountable to their shareholders first. Thats how the world works..
Why don't we all strap bombs to our chests?. And ride our bikes to the next G7 picnic. Seems easier with every clock tick. . But whose will would that represent?.
I can't believe the things that have been said. Remain for the purpose of remaining.. I can't believe all the things we've done. and still we've learned nothing..
why don't we all strap bombs to our chests and ride our bikes to the next g-7 picnic? it seems easier with every clock tick. but whose will would that represent? mine? yours? the rank-and-file's? or better yet: the government's? but i don't want to catalyze or synthesize the second final solution. i don't want to be the steve smith of the revolution. do you see the analogy? we're the oilers. the world bank- the flames! and just 2 minutes remain in the 7th game of the best of 7 series! yeah, jesus saves! gretzky scores! the workers slave. the rich get more. one wrong move and we risk the cup. so play the man, not the puck. why don't we plant a mechanic virus and erase the memory of the machines that maintain this capitalist dynasty? and yes, i recognize the irony that the very system i oppose affords me the luxury of biting the hand that feeds. but that's exactly why priviledged fucks like me should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream- until everyone has everything they need..
I'm not gonna try and tell you that I'm different from all the rest. I've been subject to the same destructure of desire, felt the same effects. I'm a hetero-sexist tragedy.
Accept this moment, your spiritual cleansing.. As your hair falls to the floor consider this. Your conversion, your final warning.. Recite these words as we clean you of your filth..
