Punk Rock Song lyrics
have you been to the desert?
have you walked with the dead?
there's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread

and the figures don't lie they speak of human disease
but we do what we want and we think what we please

have you lived the experience?
have you witnessed the plague?
people making babies sometimes just to escape
in this land of competition the compassion is gone
yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
we keep pushing on

this is just a punk rock song
written for the people who can see something's wrong
like ants in a colony we do our share
but there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
and this is just a punk rock song
(like workers in a company we do our share
but there's so many other fuckin' robots out there)

have you visited the quagmire?
have you swam in the shit?
the party conventions and the real politik
the faces always different, the rhetoric the same
but we swallow it, and we see nothing change
nothing has changed...

10 million dollars on a losing campaign
20 million starving and writhing in pain
big strong people unwilling to give
small in vision and perspective
one in five kids below the poverty line
one population runnin' out of time

1. Nice, SPK

I didn't go watch it yet, but I like the lyrics. The shit that we, as a population, spend money on while others are dying for lack of food and water is apauling.

2. and the shit we think is important

is really not in the scheme of things is it?

:hi:

3. This is why I can't stand the nihilists

and the upper-middle-class "anarchists" who are convinced that they know just what changes would be best for everyone. Arrogant little bastards, just as condescending as any capitalists, who, once they get out of college, just turn out to be chickenshit conformists like their parents.

Granted, I myself am middle class and my beliefs have slowly moved closer to anarchist ones over the past several years, but that's only in the sense that I think that the only way to help anyone is to defer to their wishes, and to do otherwise is just paternalism, and sense that one ruler having power over many can only end in disaster. Mob mentality without rulers can be just as bad, of course. And I do respect the real anarchists who aren't just youthful radicals but go on to be middle-aged people still fighting for freedom.

4. Did the killers eat habanero sauce first?

'Cause if they did, it's justifiable. :P
