Silly me / Thinking this was a scene / Where we could express that we're discontent with / Violent hierarchies, social realities / Yes we slide by, but others are still neck-deep in shit / But what do we have / Mere replication?
Studs and patches / Oh you studded / Feels like a frat but with the bedazzler heating up / With so many rejects in one single place / How did punk rock become the business of saving face? / Please find it in your / Hearts to forgive / Naive expectations
Fuck your dollar / Now give it to me

We bought your lies before / Your solemn throne speech song / Thought you would keep the peace / The true north strong and free / Instead you sent our troops to war / Dead Afghanis on the floor / Tax us for the infrastructure / Cluster bombs for the others
But now we're / Not gonna waste no time at all / Gonna resist you until you fall / Won't let you talk down to me / We're gonna fight you until we're free / Stephen Harper stomp
Cowardly war criminal / Never had to stay at war / But America said to jump / So Afghanistan got the dump / Never wanted to set them free / Just wanted to make them bleed / And now it's time for us / To stop your colonial greed
But now we're / Not gonna waste no time at all / Gonna resist you until you fall / Won't let you talk down to me / We're gonna fight you until we're free

Gun you down or lock you up / Protect and serve to / Fill a quota, buy some donuts / Justice is an incentive / Enforced by skinhead / Bourgeois racists / Keep us in our fucking places
Hands up / Where I can see them / Handcuffed / Feel the freedom / On the ground / Tango down / Without me it's anarchy, so / Don't run / The jig is up bud / The badge / Is calling backup / Good luck / You're fucked / Without me it's anarchy / You want that? / To see Alberta crawling with rats again?
Do you think you could live without the men of the law? / The government's ideas of rights and freedoms? / Without police life would just be chaos / Without me it's anarchy, so
Hands up / Where I can see them / Handcuffed / Feel the freedom / On the ground / Tango down / Without me it's anarchy, so / Don't run / The jig is up bud / The badge / Is calling backup / Good luck / You're fucked / Without me it's anarchy / So you want that? / To see Alberta crawling with rats again?

Property is Theft
01:13
|

Tricked into thinking the poor are the lazy / But are you familiar with your fucking white history? / And the enclosing of the lands once held in common / Those lands once open for animal grazing and farming / Through acts of violence, destroying homes and villages / Create pastures for sheep to uphold elite privileges / Those dispossessed become paupers and vagabonds / A new criminal class and fodder for the prisons
Robber baron / Wage-slave master
Property is theft / Property is theft / Your ancestors weren't industrious / They stole it from the rest / Why do you think that the poor fill the prisons / And are kept from making truly democratic decisions? / Property is theft / Property is theft / This isn't about your personal possessions / But the products of our labour / And our collective dispossesion
Initially illegal by parliamentary decisions / But the crown had a new capitalist-inspired vision / And decided to side with these land-owners and thieves / Making it legal for common land to be seized / So now we sell ourselves into wage-slavery / Owning only our labour and increased misery / While captains of industry are seen as industrious / Lie to the workers about labour and profit
This is fucking class war
But we know how this property became their possession / Not through "hard work" but acts of aggression / The workers keep working and keep getting poorer / The rich gate their communities to hide from the horror / Don't be afraid to knock down a fence / Don't be afraid to tear down a prison / These structures are embodiments of capitalist interest / The same structures of class conflict
Robber baron / Wage-slave master

Dirty Little Vegan Bitch

So we ruined your scene / That's just fucking fine by me / All your sexist bullshit / How I'm so easily dismissed
Dirty little vegan bitch / Dirty little vegan bitch
You're so fucking punk rock / You're so fucking hip / When a woman opens her mouth / All you have to say is "bitch"
Dirty little vegan bitch / Dirty little vegan bitch
She stands up and gets belittled / He stands up and gets respect / I'll destroy your fucking boys' club scene / Every fucking chance I get
Dirty little vegan bitch / Dirty little vegan bitch / Dirty little vegan bitch / Dirty little vegan bitch / Dirty little vegan bitch

Chelsea Grin
02:01

I feel a twisting in my guts / It seems like no one cares too much / About the things we scream and shout / Like, "Oh, those things, well they just happen..." / There's no need to talk about them / Small signs of hope quickly replaced with doubt
Rape joke! / Don't you think I'm funny? / No? Well, that's too bad / Already got your money / Rape joke! / I'm not being serious / My falsest apologies / But your pain is hilarious
One in four women / Not sure if you're aware / How dare we try to question / Their artistic flair? / They were only joking / Words don't mean a thing / Everyone else was fine / No complaints through chelsea grins
You might not want to admit that you have any authority / But when you take the microphone your voice is top priority / And we can't question much when the system we oppose / Uses the same language as its crutch
Rape joke! / Don't you think I'm funny? / No? Well, that's too bad / Already got your money / Rape joke! / I'm not being serious / My falsest apologies / But your pain is hilarious
I feel a twisting in my guts / It seems like no one gives a fuck / About the things we scream and shout / We just think that you're all worth it / But by no means are we perfect / So let's do what we can to help each other out
