Pick A Side
03:30

we're playing out of tune guitars
drunk in basements and empty bars
trying to make a difference
or at least trying not to get pulled over
on the ride home
we should be taking to the streets
meet the bastards head on
instead we take to the bars
to get another beer
if we dont stand up now, who will tear the borders down?
if we dont organize, who will take the bastards on?
time to stand up, get your pen, get your gun
pick a side
casting your ballot, casting your vote
waiting for the system to change itself
but it wont
ignore the shit you see on your tv
it dont affect you
but one day you'll be the one they want to throw away
if we dont stand up now...
too busy in church to believe in equality
too busy hating your neighbor to question economy
open your fucking eyes
or we're all gunna die
no room for centrist politics in times like these
if we dont stand up now...

Smallpox and Riot Dogs
02:19
|

on they march, they serve no higher purpose
they just bow to the almighty dollar
and every cent they make
comes at the expense
of those misfortunate enough
to be marginalized by white american history
smallpox and genocide
riot dogs, intimidation
nothings changed in the last 600 years
smallpox and genocide
money controls this population
nothings changed in the last 600 years
on they march, all consuming corporate greed
no second thought; quick destruction of the land
but all the money in the world won't help you eat
once you've bled this planet dry
will your lungs be satisfied filled up with oil?

sometimes i think back to the things that i thought
when i was just a kid
either stupid or naive or just full of shit
i always swore i'd leave this fucking place the first chance i'd get
but im 22 years old and here i still sit
and i wonder what that kid would say
if he saw the man he'd grow up to be
am i just held back by fear and anxiety?
i swear i'd leave this town on my bike
if i only had a bike
lots of things i said i would be when i grow up...
and now im basically none of those things
did i just give up?
and even though i've grown to call this place my home
when i feel like i do tonight
i swear i'd leave this place right now on my bike
if i only had a bike

saw a man roll in on a bulldozer today
said hes here to take the trees away
said he dont like it
but hes got a job to do
and if you were in his shoes, what would you do?
saw a man roll by on that tank here yeterday
said he dont wanna, but theres a war underway
said he dont like it, but hell hes got a job to do
and if you were in his shoes, you'd do the same thing to
saw a cop beat a homeless man on the news
bringing out more riots, accusations of abuse
but they all say hes got a job to do
and if you were in his shoes, would you do the same thing too?

i punched richard spencer and im gunna do it again
stupid fascist dickhead, why dont you understand
violence is the only language they speak
a nazi does not have the right to free speech
ethnic cleansing, white pride bullshit
should've ended in 1945
but here we are in 2017
we'll find you, theres no where to hide
this is not a dialogue, theres nothing to debate
your bigoted views are the only thing that needs to be ereased
and i'm glad youre afraid to show your fucking face
i punched richard spencer and im gunna do it again
stupid fascist dickhead, why dont you understand
violence is the only language they speak
a nazi does not have the right to free speech
and i'm gunna curb stomp matt heimbach before this year ends

going to the station, to lay down on the tracks
and when that train comes rolling through
i' aint never coming back
no one will try to help me, no one really cares
they'll just film it on their cell phones
yeah no one really cares
death is entertainment, theres no regard for human life
we speak in just statistics
and that isnt fucking alright
we dont mean anything
we're just entertainment
our lives are worthless
and i'm not just being nihilistic
i'm trying to say, what if i was about to jump out of the window of the tallest building today
would you try to stop me?
or would you pull out your phone and yell out worldstar?
maybe you'd be the one jacking off to my death

i'll stand by your decision to believe in god
as long as its really your choice to make
but please dont include me in that way of life
or in that mistake
you claim youre free from a violent world
but your still a slave to someone
and you cant be free while someones got hold of your soul
i know youre not hurting anyone, and im glad your finally happy
but i cant help to hope your mind will change
all of the answers cant be found in a thousand year old book
god is still just a question mark
no matter how hard you look
and you say, inshallah one day
i will come to know religion
but i think i wont
and inshallah the people who love god
will stop trying to hurt the ones who dont

all these libertarians can stay the hell away from me
i dont need your bourgeoisie economy
claim to be for freedom, but youre really just free market
unregulated capitalists focused on a profit
all these fucking liberals can keep away from me
i dont want more bombs dropped overseas
killing more children, in all your drone attacks
turning houses into graves, destroying all the facts
all you conservatives keep away from me
i dont want your neofascist ideology
claim you want a smaller government but wont allow
anyone different than you to come around
and thats not small government, thats fascism, racism, sexism, and homophobia

Armageddon's charging out from the steeple gates
Piercing stigmas through those who've questioned gods existence
And who have denounce religious escapades
Columbus sailed in search of gold across the Atlantic
such discoveries on timbers against waves
Gunpowder and cannons aimed at defenseless natives
They reached a coast and were welcome by the indigenous
So the Catholics took advantage of their hospitality
Enforced European traditions and language
Enslaved the indigenous and shipped them off to England
And their thirst for gold run through the valley mines
Then came the english settlers with their plans to colonize
genocide spread throughout the Americas
small pox, whitey's influenza
If only the earth was flat
they would've sailed off the edge of a map
All those who thought differently were subjected to their witch hut
Burned at the stake, lynched or imprisoned in a rut
Made stolen resources a commodity
spices, sugar, and property
Civilization once in harmony, are now chapters of our history
Unjustified triumphs written in a text book
They told us about John smith, compared him to fucking Jesus Christ
And now we celebrate thanksgiving as if they ever were related
We shouldnt be proud not have any pride at all
