Leftist Music

[Skaman]

Share artists you are familiar with. Politically charged music is an excellent medium to reach the general public with. Here are a few artists and lyrics:


Ten Years After: I'd Love to Change the World



Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

World pollution, there’s no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you



Bad Religion: New America


Do you know the cost of future misery?
Have you lost your sense of sustainability?
We are just a step away
From realizing what we strive to be
But we’ve got to break out
From this insulated, blind and lame senility
Wake up the new america wo-oh!
Transcend the mass hysteria wo-oh!
Change is the thing you’re wary of wo-oh!
We need a new america wo-oh!
Laurels, human triumph
Bestowments from the past
Victories don’t mean a thing
If they don’t last
We are just marching toward extinction
With blinders on our eyes
Jeopardizing everything
We’ve learned and come to realize
You call that wise?
Open your eyes america wo-oh!
See through the lies they tell to us wo-oh!
Confront the fears that worry us wo-oh!
We need a new america wo-oh!
We don’t have to be afraid to re-invent
We’ve got to start to build
Progress and implement
For when we take our fill
And never pay the price
We only build ourselves
A fleeting, false paradise
You can live in staunch denial
And mark me as your enemy
But I’m just a voice among the throng
Who want a brighter destiny
They say with me
We are the new america wo-oh!
This is the new america? wo-oh


Neil Young: Rockin' in the Free World


There’s colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin’ their feet
People sleepin’ in their shoes
But there’s a warnin’ sign on the road ahead
There’s a lot of people sayin’ we’d be better off dead
Don’t feel like satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,
Keep on rockin’ in the free world
Keep on rockin’ in the free world,
Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,
Keep on rockin’ in the free world
Keep on rockin’ in the free world,
Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world,
Keep on rockin’ in the free world
Keep on rockin’ in the free world,
Keep on rockin’ in the free world.

[Raistlin]

My music doesn't have political messages or even lyrics ;)

The Clash - White Riot


White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own
White riot - I wanna riot
White riot - a riot of my own

Black man gotta lot a problems
But they don't mind throwing a brick
White people go to school
Where they teach you how to be thick

An' everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
An' nobody wants
To go to jail!

All the power's in the hands
Of people rich enough to buy it
While we walk the street
Too chicken to even try it

Everybody's doing
Just what they're told to
Nobody wants
To go to jail!

Are you taking over
or are you taking orders?
Are you going backwards
Or are you going forwards?

The Clash - Know your rights


This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights all three of them

Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
Know your rights

And Number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Don't mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Know your rights
These are your rights
Wang

Know these rights

Number 3
You have the right to free
Speech as long as you're not
Dumb enough to actually try it.

Know your rights
These are your rights
All three of 'em
It has been suggested
In some quarters that this is not enough!
Well..............................

Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You don't have a home to go to
Smush

Finally then I will read you your rights

You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you

Listen to this
Run

[Stavka]

Heres one from the commie left.

Knutna nävar, a swedish communist music group made this classic. Currently in use as "White noise" for Swedish E&E+POW training for our SF fellas, no joke.


Arbetarbröder
[Vers]
Det viskas i väster och öster, hör du det inte Kamrat?
Det är borgarnas skrämda röster, hör du dem inte Kamrat?
De ser med skräck hur den växer var dag,
de utsugnas organiserade här.
De rustar sitt välde med ordning och lag,
som riktas mot dig, Proletär!

[Refrain]
Arbetarbröder vi måste skapa ett kommunistiskt parti!
En kampstat med ledning som inte förråder,
med hängivna klasskämpar i!
Vår samlade vilja, vår medvetna förtrupp som leder till
seger vår väldiga kamp.

Vår stolthet, vår ryggrad, vårt hjärta, vår hjärna,
är arbetarklassens eget parti! [x2]

[Vers]
Så tveka ej längre, kom med oss i kampen mot
utsugarväldet Kamrat.
Tillsammans vi smider vårt verktyg och vapen,
vi skapar partiet Kamrat!
Segervisst väljer vi klasskampens väg,
som nödvändigheten oss lär.
Och rustar oss för vår historiska uppgift:
Revolution, Proletär!

[Refrain]
Arbetarbröder vi måste skapa ett kommunistiskt parti!
En kampstat med ledning som inte förråder,
med hängivna klasskämpar i!
Vår samlade vilja, vår medvetna förtrupp som leder till
seger vår väldiga kamp.

Vår stolthet, vår ryggrad, vårt hjärta, vår hjärna,
är arbetarklassens eget parti! [x2]


And of course, your friendly Tom of Finland Bandwagon buddy provides you with a translation:



(Verse)
Theres whispering in the west and east, cant you hear it comrade?
Its the frightened voices of the bourgeoise, cant you hear it comrade?
They watch in terror as it grows every day
the organized army of the abused.
They arm their reign with order and law,
thats aiming at you, prole!

(Refr.)
Workerbrothers we must found a communistic party.
A fighting state with leaders that do not betray,
with dedicated working class fighters.
Out united will, our conscious vanguard which leads us to victory in our great struggle.

Our pride, our spine, our heart, our mind,
is the working classes own party.


I'd translate more, but its quite a pain in the ass, and after reading the lyrics I feel in need of a shower. Yuck.

[Skaman]

skaman i am guessing you are a skinhead?

not even close ;)

[b.scheller]

nah, he's full of teen-angst, acne and lots of stupidity in his brains...

[J-10]

Now in China, almost no any political messages in music.

[Sir Zach of R.]

Funny enough, that wasn't even over the top one bit. rofl

[Shadow]

Gotta love that song:*headbangs*


Destruction - Dictators of Cruelty

Dictators of Cruelty

They protect our souls from war and pain
Don't **** with them - nothin' will remain
They fight the good fight for their world peace
Save our Western Culture from unknown enemies


Military power pushed by the industries
Rain forest? Who cares about some ****in' trees
This is for all our safety - this ain't no joke
They surely guard us - as long as they are broke


Bridge:
Land of the free - the land of decay
Amazing grace - kneel down and pray
Stars and lies - flag of pride
Ku Klux Klan at Disneyland


Chorus:
Race wars in a faked world
Hiding the truth there's no excuse
Dictators of cruelty
Dictators of cruelty


Fairytales and legends are the backbone of a land
Where controversial losers can be president
Nothin' like it seems on this Earth full of disgrace
Build your own opinion and see their ugly face!


Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Dictators of cruelty!

Btw the Album was released befor 9/11...

Destruction - U.S.A [Exploited Cover]


There really is nothing nice about USA
You go to the hospital you have to pay
The dollar is the language that they all speak
they don't really bother about the radiation leak

**** THE USA

they keep their secrets undercover
the rich don't bother about those that suffer
this ain't the land of milk and honey
cause all they want is money money money

**** THE USA

nuclear bombs are **** all new
you'd better start running when they drop on you
run into a shelter, play hide and seek
cause when you die your body reeks

**** THE USA

There really is nothing nice about USA
You go to the hospital you have to pay
The dollar is the language that they all speak
they don't really bother about the radiation leak

**** THE USA

[walford]

All this 'hardcore' stuff you youngsters are listening to has been done better years ago (this song took the Kennedys about 90sec to perform):

Moral Majority (1980)

You call yourself the Moral Majority
We call ourselves the people in the real world
Trying to rub us out, but we're going to survive
God must be dead if you're alive

You say, 'God loves you. Come and buy the Good News'
Then you buy the president and swimming pools
If Jesus don't save 'til we're lining your pockets
God must be dead if you're alive

Circus-tent con-men and Southern belle bunnies
Milk your emotions then they steal your money
It's the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles
Cheap nostalgia for the Salem Witch Trials

Stodgy ayatollahs in their dobble-knit ties
Burn lots of books so they can feed you their lies
Masturbating with a flag and a bible
God must be dead if you're alive

Blow it out your ass, Jerry Falwell
Blow it out your ass, Jesse Helms
Blow it out your ass, Ronald Reagan
What's wrong with a mind of my own?

You don't want abortions, you want battered children
You want to ban the pill as if that solves the problem
Now you wanna force us to pray in school
God must be dead if you're such a fool

You're planning for a war with or without Iran
Building a police state with the Ku Klux Klan
Pissed at your neighbour? Don't bother to nag
Pick up the phone and turn in a fag

Blow it out your ass, Terry Dolan
Blow it out your ass, Phyllis Schlafly
Ram it up your ****, Anita [Bryant]
Cos God must be dead
If you're alive
God must be dead
If you're alive

[Shadow]

Ohh don't forget RATM!

Found a good one:
Tankard - Under firendly Fire


The Yearning! For Conflict! I am a Cowboy from up 'nigh
I've got my Go Pills-I'm a Winner!
On the way up I'm gonna get high!
I'm speeding! Do I care?
Demitry orders us to fly
Amphetamines have made us Killers
Ooops! British Troops! Was that a Crime?

Bleeding and Suffering!
Descision met-Thy will is done
I don't recall much of the Mission
Carried it out-sure must've been fun
Bleeding and Suffering! Nowhere to run

[Chorus:]
Under Friendly Fire- Speeding with a Gun
Under Friendly Fire- Where's my go-pill?
Under Friendly Fire- To impress my Son
Under Friendly Fire- That's my final thrill!

I'm craving - I need some! The Dealer Doctor's on my mind!
The Pentagon wills "Pre-Flight" Dinners
To stay awake, not follow behind
I'm speeding, Do I care?
Adrenaline dictates my crime
Canadians are not the the Winners
The Ground Troops dead-I'm doing fine

Bleeding and Suffering! What has my Country done to me?
A blind Robot with lot's of Uppers
Gonna get wild and gonna kill thee
Bleeding and Suffering! Nowhere to run

[Chorus]

The Yearning! For Conflict! I am a Cowboy from up 'nigh
I've got my Go Pills-I'm a Winner!
On the way up I'm gonna get high!
I'm speeding! Do I care?
Demitry orders us to fly
Amphetamines have made us Killers

Ooops! British Troops! Was that a Crime?
Bleeding and Suffering!
Descision met-Thy will is done
I don't recall much of the Mission
Carried it out-sure must've been fun
Bleeding and Suffering! Nowhere to run

[Chorus]

[Jobu]

Political music is tragically naive.

[Maj C]

Ohh don't forget RATM!
Yep, because they kick ass!

Rage against the machine is da' bomb , gentlemen.

It's funny that RATM is supposed to be a left leaning band...when I was a kid with Tim Commerford (Timmy C -the bass player) he was the neighborhood bully, used to choke us with dog chains, catch bees and sting people with them, shaved his head and liked drawing pictures of Hitler.

[Onyks]

Hmm is this only for "Leftists" :D

[<Gypsum Fantastic>]

woot

All by the Manic street preachers...




If you tolerate this then your children will be next

The future teaches you to be alone the present to be afraid and cold
'So if I can shoot rabbits then I can shoot fascists'

Bullets for your brain today but we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next, will be next will be next will be next

Gravity keeps my head down or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain

Holes in your head today but I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas but not with real intent

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next, will be next will be next will be next

'And on the streets tonight - an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days'

And if you tolerate this then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this then your children will be next, will be next will be next will be next

Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapart *Real title BTW*

Images of perfection, suntan and napalm
Grenada - Haiti - Poland - Nicaragua
who shall we choose for out morality
I'm thinking right now of Hollywood tragedy
big mac: smack: phoenix r: please smile y'all
Cuba, Mexico can't cauterize our discipline
your idols speak so much of the abyss
yet your morals only run as deep as the surface
cool - groovey - morning - fine
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
I love a free country
the stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
conservative say there ain't no black in the union jack
democrat say there ain't enough white in the stars and stripes
Compton - Harlem - a pimp ****ed a priest
the white man has just found a new moral saviour
vital stats - how white was their skin
unimportant - just another inner-city drive-by thing
morning - fine - serve your first coffee of the day
real privilege, it will take your problems all away
number one - the best - no excuse from me
I am here to serve the moral majority
cool - groovey - morning - fine
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
I love a free country
the stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
Zapruder the first to masturbate
the world's first taste of crucified grace
and we say there's not enough black in the union jack
and we say there's too much white in the stars and stripes
**** the Brady bill
**** the Brady bill
if God made man they say
Sam Colt made him equal.

Freedom of speech won't feed my children

Liberty, sweet liberty
Charitable respectability
Then pacifism killed us all
For all the tourists on the Berlin wall

So we protest about human rights
Worship obesity as our birthright
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

We love to kiss the Dalai Lama's ass
Because he is such a holy man
Free to eat and buy anything
Free to **** from Paris to Beijing

Little boys with dangerous toys
All bow down to the Beastie Boys
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Royalty - hereditery - unelected and becalmed
Just like Stalin, just like Stalin
Human and useless

Bomb the Chinese Embassy
The west is free, oh the west is free
Laugh at the hammer and sickle
It is antique, oh it is antique

And see the love in Richard Gere's eyes
JS Pemberton saved our lives
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

[expat007]

This ones for the exploited fans,

You talk about acceptance
well just look at you
how can you join the mainstream

Punks Dead Youre Next
Punks Dead Youre Next

You wanna worship Waddie

Punks Dead Youre Next
Punks Dead Youre Next

Body count - Born Dead
1994 BC still in the house They did
Everything they could do to take us out
But like any good monster that just made us stronger
You see, they don't like us and they don't like you,
The BC fan,
'Cause they know we stand for three things
Truth, justice and **** the american way
That word justice got me ****ed up though
Twenty cops in the street, two go to jail
Thousands of people died in wars
Overseas and it's justice ?
You think they give a **** about us ?
You're a fool

Born yellow,
Born brown,
Born red,
Born black,
Born dead
Dead
Born dead

Born asian,
Born jewish,
Born latino,
Born poor,
Born dead
Dead
Born dead

But you don't hear me though

Dead
New York , Atlanta, Chicago, Oakland, Miami, Detroit

Every day I gotta get out my mutha****in' bed,
Put on my mutha****in' gun,
Down in my mutha****in' gun,
Down in my mutha****in' pants, 'cause
Mutha****a's out here is trippin'

How the **** you gonna get up every morning
Tryin' to worry about if you gonna make it to the next evening
Do you understand ?
Sometimes we take for granted
The little things like food, like freedom

Born in somalia,
Born in south america,
Born in south africa,
Born in south central,
Born dead
Dead

Born dead


Lars Frederiksen & The Bastards - Dead American

Trench warfare dug in deep brutal bloody No retreat
American dead better than red another politician with a debt on his head
Bodies ripped covered in **** Napalm blitz the City is lit
Bombs blast mustard gas throat slash truncheon smash

Another story about another dead American...
One more story about a dead American.

Blitzkrieg flames buildings ablaze killings fields where the bodies decay
Torture racks machine gun racks never surrender it's an all-out attack
Money whores open soars plan quiet wars behind closed doors
Clandestine games human remains cyanide genocide

One more story about a dead American.






and any song of Anti-Flag

[Midtown]

anything off the new green day CD, american Idiot, the CD is a serious masterpiece, I totally dissagree with all the view on it, but it is by far my favorite disc right now.

Immortal Technique - Leaving the Past ( I Love this guys music )

Artist: Immortal Technique
Album: Revolutionary Volume 2
Song: Leaving the Past
Typed by: aj.hester@quicknet.nl

[Verse 1]
They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it
Reality is nurishment, but people don't believe it
I guess its hard to stomach the truth like a bulimick
its a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it
But this is for the paralygics, people dreamin' of runnin'
ladies married to men who dont please 'em, dreamin' of comin'
urbanly murderous like David Berkowitz when I'm gunnin'
Some cowards on the internet didn't think I would sell
scared to talk **** in person, cuz they stuck in a shell
and couldn't understand the pain of being stuck in a cell
Hell is not a place you go, if you not a christian
it's the failure of your lifes greatest ambition
It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion
I don't see the difference in between the raw and the wrong
Soldiers emptyin' the clips at little kids and they moms
I'm just like a desperate mother****er strapped to a bomb
Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin' a song
I'm not controversial, I'm just speakin' the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack
And since life is a gamble like the crabstables at Vegas
I freestyle my destiny, it's not written in pages

[Verse 2]
I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be
as if our peoples history started with slavery
Painfully I discovered the **** they kept us secret
this is the exodus like the black jews out of Egypt
I keep it reality based wit the music I make
brought the truth to your face with the style I run wit
like the navy missile that shot down flight eighthundred
I'm like the africans who came here before Colombus
and from the 15hundreds until after the model
I watch Latin America get raped in the sorrow
You see the spanjards never left Espace the Cologne
and if you don't believe me, you can click on Uni Mission
I never seen so much racism in all of my life
every program and newscast, all of them white
It's like a part tide with 10 percent ruling the rest
that type of stress 'll make me put the ****ing tool to your chest
Step in my way nigga, I wouldn't wanna be ya
I burn slow like (a) pissing drunk with gonnorrhea
I'll do a freak show in North Korea, burning the flag
while Jay Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag
Try to confuse you, makin' it hard to follow this:
capitalism en democracy are not synonymous
You swallow propaganda like a birth control pill
sellin' your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill
But that will never be me, cuz I am leavin' the past
like an abused wife with the kids, leavin' your ass
Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin' the stash
unbreakable Technique leavin' the plane crash
I'm out with the black box and I refuse to return
I spit reality, instead of what you usually learn
and I refuse to be concerned with condecending advice
cuz I am the only mother****er that could change my life

[Ending]
Some people think I won't make it
but I know that I will
Escape the emptiness
cuz that **** is slow and it kills
the flow and the skill
I made y'all believe that it last
You can make the future
but it starts with LEAVING THE PAST

[Stormy]

[Johnny_H02]

Artist: Immortal Technique
Album: The Point of No Return/Internally Bleeding/Caught in a Hustle 12"
Song: Caught in a Hustle
Typed by: sinaz2888@earthlink.net

[Verse 1]
They say the odds against me, are crooked and impossible
Like I was born with a hole in my heart is an obstacle
I was left to die by the doctors, in the Children's Hospital
But I never lose hope, success is psychological
The world is volatile and the street is my education
Shaping the nation, like the blueprint of a mason
While Shawshank record deals get you raped on occasion
So I'm focused on my economic situation
I'm like the little kids on TV that dig through the trash
I hustle regardless of the way you talk **** and laugh
A lot of niggaz drop science but they dont know the math
Because their mind is narrower than the righteous path
It's funny how on the block niggaz will kill you for cash
But never raise the gun and cry out "Freedom at last"
The cold war is over but the world is still gettin colder
Atlas walking through the projects with the hood on my shoulders
I would like to raise my children to grow to be soldiers
But then the general, would decide when their life would be over
So I work hard until my personality split
Like the black panthers, into the bloods and the crips
They said I would never be ****, but now I sit and reminice
Like Yeshua ben Yusef flippin through Genesis
Ignorance is venemous, and it murders the soul
Spreading like a virus running rampant, but out of control

[Hook]
So if I should ever fall and get caught in a hustle
Let them know that I died while I fought in a struggle
From the hoodrats to the rich kids lost in a bubble
Spray painting on the streets and at the subway tunnels
Write it down and remember that we never gave in
The mind of a child is where the revolution begins
So if the solution has never been to look in yourself
How is it that you expect to find it anywhere else

[Verse 2]
Immortal Technique in the streets, back on the hustle
cause three strikes will get you life for stuffin cracks in a duffle
Upstate behind steel gates intact in the scuffle
Razor blades stuck on the side of pencils, hacked to your muscle
But the emptiness is what bleeds you to death when it cuts you
And its the lawyers, not the inmates scheming to **** you
Trying to fight the system from inside, eventually corrupts you
But thats what you get when you put a corporation above you
And it's the people that love you that seem to hurt you the most
Sometimes when they die you find yourself cursing their ghost
But you make success, nobody delivers your fate
Sometimes you give and you take
Since prehistoric vertibrates, crawled out of the lakes
And thats the truth about life
Or to do it to ghetto and your car, rims, and your ice
Because even though we survived through the struggle that made us
We still look at ourselves through the eyes of people that hate us
But I'm going to make it regardless of the trumped up charges
And semi-automatic barrages, that empty the cartridge
Post-traumatically scar kids that try to be brave
Because niggaz backstab each other just to try to get paid
Turn cannibal like nights during the crusades
Afraid of responsibility; addicted to greed
Beating their girls purposefully losing a seed
As if we were bound to the destiny we used to recieve

[Hook]

I used to wonder (I used to wonder) about people who don't believe in themselves
But then I saw the way that they portrayed us to everyone else
That cursed us, then only see the worst in ourselves
blind to the fact the whole time we were hurting ourselves

I used to wonder (I used to wonder) about people who don't believe in themselves
But then I saw the way that they portrayed us to everyone else
That cursed us, then only see the worst in ourselves
blind to the fact the whole time we were hurting ourselves

I used to wonder {*echo*}

Now in China, almost no any political messages in music.

In Soviet Russia, car drives you!
:lol: haha, sorry. His comment just reminded me of that car in the Family guy..

I don't listen to music for a political message. I listen to music because i like how it sounds.

Ozzy Osbourne - Dreamer


Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime

After all there’s only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us, this time

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away, oh yeah
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn’t really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain’t no hope for us
I’m living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah yeah yeah

If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger hate and biggotry, be gone?

I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away, today
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days, oh yeah

I’m just a dreamer
Who’s searching for the way, today
I’m just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, oh yeah yeah yeah
:hug:

Hippies.

[Doom]

WE STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS AND WE ARE CALLED HIPPIES? there is a difference, its called point of view.

Strung Out - "Firecracker"




The other day I swear to God
I got a letter in the mail that
Said register with us or you're
Gonna go to jail
You'll be put inside a cage,
then
Forced to enlist
Well I laughed out loud,
said I
Won't comply
To be labeled as one of those
Who qualify to be shipped off to
Fight some ****ing war
'Cause war's not about policy-religion,
It's about economy and I'm not dying
to set your country free
I'll never bow to your expectations
I never have I never will
I'm not a puppet,
pawn,
or
Figure head I'm a man of my
Own free will
Our freedoms are slowly surrendered
As they take more than their fill
How much power is ever enough for
The men,
the men on Capitol Hill.
They're cuttin's back on welfare
IL legalizing harmlessness,
am I the
Only one to see there's something
Wrong with this
I don't have the answers won't
Pretend to say I will but to put
My trust in government,
I think I'd rather kill
Off mighty word democracy
Spells freedom for you and me
The books have all been written
And the prophets denied
Little by little watch this state
Begin to fall as we awaken from
This dream and find ourselves
Nailed to the wall
Oh firecracker patriotic lire,
you were
Burnin' bright the day the country
Died,
in all your glory in all your
Pride.
Light the way torch of Liberty
Light the sky for the whole world
To see,
in all your glory in all
Your pride.

[mr.chips]

The draft has been gone a loooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnng time,and i don't think it's coming back. ;)

[Doom]

oh, and if you still think punk is for **** eatin pussie hippies? this ones from Dropkick Murphys and is called "Far Away Coast" its about the 1st gulf war.


Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast For fear of an atmosphere poisened deceased With a gas mask to keep me-from breathing my death It's American soil I hope for at best But the duty I serve can't begin to compare To my ancestors battles and wars throught the years Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell I pray for my home but still sit here in hell. Sail away to a place that's unknown taken away from my friends and my home to a place they call sacred a place I call hell I long for that corner I once knew so well. Go to the grind it's all that I have Work on and on with nothing to show But a graying face in this dying place Thats a lock in my solitude I think of a place on a faraway coast Where friends are dear and there's reason to toast A cloudy dark images of a Middle East land Comes down and wrecks my hopeful land. Sail away to a place that's unknown taken away from my friends and my home to a place they call sacred a place I call hell I long for that corner I once knew so well.

If thats not enough, check these pics out. They support the troops,

I'm not a lefty or righty but this song is has true points:

The Offspring - Americana

[/img]
Well I'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's meer moments away

Where culture's defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way

Well **** you

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tats right away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait

My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way

Well **** you

Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true

I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, I just work here
But I wanna **** it up

My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way

Well **** you

My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true

It's not leftist-commie-bs, they're just pointing out some sad qualities about life, just like Bob Dylan...he wasn't this hippy idiot like the left tried to make him their hero....he just wrote what was on his mind and about problems in society. He even said he wouldn't mind shooting JFK p-)

[callous]

Conflict
The Ungovernable Force

**** off you **** your violent threats your attempts to control the nation
**** off you ****ed up facist ****,
understand the situation
Back off you slimy worthless prick,
you ain't got a clue what you are facing
Eat bricks you het up bastard ****s,
scabs; you'll get what you are creating
Who the **** do you think you're pushing,
"stay in place or get it"
I would think again to save your skin,
because if you come too close you'll ****ing regret it
You whine on all the hell you like,
repeat your warnings of plastic bullets
The gas,
the batons,
the water cannon -the more you oppress the more we will resist

Riots,
there ain't been a riot,
but one's knocking at your door
You have seen nothing yet but household pets but you'll soon feel the lion's claws
Proclaiming laws last victory,
of containing rebel shower
When the time is right you'll get the fight that will totally test your power
Inciting,
provoking trouble that you know can easily be beaten
To maintain the image that we need you,
so thus re-confirm your position
You might trick some you scheming scum,
but you'll never get our obedience
You can batter,
beat us,
even imprison us,
yet still you will never ever never defeat us

Belfast...Brixton...Toxteth...Tottenham...St Paul's...Handsworth...

Reclaim the streets,
reclaim the towns,
reclaim the nation

What revolution?
This revolution,
we all wanted a peaceful solution
But this institution,
that institution,
smashed all hope of getting through to them
Confrontations,
escalating violations of the law
Repercussions of the mass destruction which in the end is sure
To mean them pumping out the bullets,
their protection from the poor
We will win because we have to; we ain't got nothing to loose no more
And what they lose they undoubtedly will forfeit forever
"They've got the guns,
but we've got the numbers"
And we give no apologies ever!

[callous]

Title : Bomb The Russians
Artist : Fear
Album : More Beer


Bomb the Russians
Then they'll never get to you
Bomb the Russians
Then we'll see who buries who.
Strike while the iron is hot, Strike they won't get off a shot.
Strike so our bombs from space, protect the all american race
Strike end this menace red, Strike they'd be better off dead
Strike when their last blood is shed, then we won't worry who's ahead
Bomb the Russians
We don't have to take their ****
bomb the Russians
We'll be better of for it
Strike while they're all asleep, Strike kill the common creep
Strike they messed with the best, now they die like the rest
Strike give 'em one more for me, Strike put it on t.v.
Strike cause the "duke" would do it, he would make the russkies chew it
Bomb the Russians
Bomb the Russians
Bomb the Russians!




Ooops that one isn't exactly left wing ;)
