Crossed-Arm
Revolution.
We
can’t see why you should be better off than us.
Receiving
all the fruits of our labor.
We
want equality - monetary.
We
will no longer crawl, for your authority.
Demonstrate
the power of numbers!
- By
demonstrating we can show solidarity to the oppressed.
We
can spread the message of what we believe in. And we
can
make contact with others with the same conviction or
the
same beliefs as ourselves . Furthermore, we can learn
how
to organize. In the long run it’s a preparation for the
final
revolution against capitalism. Don’t just whine about
the
problems for yourself. Whine in front of others as well.
Inform.
Go out and protest in the streets!
Take
some action goddamnit!
Disconnect.
Healthy
and alive in sick areas.
The
infection seems to embrace everything.
But
I still feel. And I try to reach you.
And
I try to avoid the contamination.
(I
recognize the contradiction).
Wanna
cut you off. Disconnect.
- This
world is so sick if you start to question it (so don’t!).
It
feels as if every goddamn part of it is infected by this
disease.
Everyone has such a hard time understanding my
words
and reasoning that it seems as if I’m the only one
who
is well (or sick, whatever...). Sometimes we pass the
line
and we just wanna cut everything loose and fuck it.
But
when you do so, it’s hard to start feel again.
Are
you alive? Do you feel? Or have you lost contact?
The
Challenge.
Justified
cause you don’t care about anybody but yourself.
Lack
of empathy well not for yourlself. Lack of time,
lack
of money, well not for yourself.
How
many times haven’t I taken all the flak?
Whenever
have you spillt any energy?
Wasting
time with finding excuses, you lame fucking punk.
Forget
the problems, forget the ideas go get drunk!
- Punk
is about change. Most of us agree on that.
So
don’t get stuck. Try and create something new,
be
creative and most of all revolutionary!
Experiment.
Don’t limit yourself to categories
or
stereotypes. Evolve. Grow. Keep yourself activated.
Bit
Part In A Porn Movie.
I’m
nothing to you, except statistic.
I
work for you, you profit on me. I need you, you need me.
I
hate you, you love me. My accessibility, my desperation.
You
control and I? Measured in numbers. Reduced to statistic.
Measured
in economic productivity. I’m scared I won’t please you.
So
I suck you. But you suck me better. And you suck me dry.
- We,
the people, are the ones creating the added value that someone
else
collects. In this system we are depending upon the ones that offer
us
jobs. We have not much choice but to let them exploit us in order
to
receive what we need to survive. And in their eyes we are living
machines.
Each and everyone of us has a sign over our heads displaying
how
much we can produce in economic value. The lower this value is,
the
more disposable we are. So in order to save our skins we do
everything
to please these assholes - a porn movie called capitalism.
*This
song has since been re-recorded in a regular=expensive studio
and
will be released sometime on a compilation out on Diving
Records.
Rather
Be Female.
If
I reach down to your level, I will survive.
Giving
in to aggressivity, violence and egoism.
Giving
in to male characteristics, keeping the
’good’
within the female-gender. Keeping
females
inferior, forcing females to become
like
men. He will always be superior. Cause
he
doesn’t care - He has no empathy.
Oh,
he’s so cool! He is not weak - he’s a fucking robot.
Society
advocates strength, coldness, egoism.
And
I hate society. I’d rather be female.
- Qualities
such as empathy, kindness and weakness etc,
are
often considered feminine in our society. If you as a
guy
display any of these qualities you may very well be
called
feminine, or a faggot. People use these words as
something
condescending, to get you back in line. Guys
are
supposed to be strong and tough just like the heroes
on
TV and girls are supposed to be like the beautiful girl
who
gets rescued by these heroes. As we see it, the ’good’
qualities
are therefore kept within the female-sphere.
And
these ’good’ qualities make females inferior to men
(because
our society is benefitial for those who can repress
their
empathy and power of insight). So what do we want,
tough/aggressive
wimmin, or more feminine guys?
Do
we need more violence? Do we need macho-behaviour?
Revolution
Is On The Way.
There’s
many people just like me, who have lost all hope in society
~
we’re singing the revolution is on the way ~
- A
reaffirming song. There ARE people just like YOU!!
We
tend to feel that there aren’t, since the times we bump
in
to likeminded are few. The gist of this song is that we
love
activists of all kind. The words are lended from a
Naked
Aggression song with the same title (so go check
them
out, damnit!).
*Phil
Suchomel of Naked Aggression died recently.
I
see this version of their song as a tribute and I hope
that
it will make someone interested in the music and
ideas
of Phil Suchomel. Please check them out.
Back
In The Daze (AKA The Fat-Mike Syndrome).
Back
then we all shared the spirit of changing.
We
believed in ourselves. We believed we could.
Then
something happened - you fucking changed.
Now
you all laugh at me cause I still believe.
But
hey! Wait! Now I can see it - Adult means hope is lost...
- The
words sums it up pretty well, dontcha think?
No
Wonder I’ve Got Glasses.
I
can see clearly now - the rain is gone.
Domination
has been our tool, to build our identities as men.
Control
is masculinity. But I reject your manhood.
Reject
your stupid attitude. I want out cause I have changed.
”I
leave the place where 99% of the males I’ve ever known exist.
I
feel like a complete ass for not seeing it”*
Socialized
to accept what’s (obviously) wrong.
Never
saw it coming. Fed a concept, swallowed it whole.
Not
a single question. Patriarchy has had its way, now I wish to leave.
Now
I wish to turn it off.
- Basically
this one’s about how we (males) are taught to dominate (each) others.
The
refrain is a quote of Bryan/Contrascience where he writes about pornography,
which
is one form of domination. Porn is something that is officially rejected
by
our
society but yet it continues to be produced and consumed. We do not talk
openly
about porn, but a lot of men uses it, buys it and consumes it.
Porn
is kinda cool and accepted (if not a necessary experience) in the company
of
other men. We have been taught to believe it’s okay with porn in
one way,
and
not okay in another. Very confusing. One thing though, that is true, and
most
precise is that porn very seldom feature any natural, or realistic sexual
relationship
between men and women (or man/man - woman/woman).
It’s
fantasies created BY men FOR men. It’s an industry that is trying to make
money
as any other industry. And in the process, women are getting exploated
and
portrayed as objects.
Rape
is a direct result of porn. The frequency of rape is linked to porn.
Porn
is a contributing factor to the frequency of rape in our society.
Just
as violence on TV effects the street violence, does porn effect the
raising
amount of sexualized violence. Most of us do not rape someone
because
we’ve grown up with porn around us, but a lot of men grow up
with
a skewed image of women and women’s sexuality. We never asked to
be
raised this way - with these influences. Now we have, and it has given
us
a
way of reasoning and looking upon women. Not many question the images
and
the reasoning that are fed to us. The porn industry conservates these
ways
of reasoning/looking - this view on women. To be opposed to
pornography
is not to be opposed to nudity, to be prude or opposed to sex.
It
is to be opposed to this view on women that society is breeding. It is
to be
opposed
to oppression and inequality. It is to be opposed to the fact that a
women’s
being raped every fifthteen minute in Sweden.
New(er) Songs:
God
Is Clearly Male.
Protectionist
of power, of privilige.
Divine
regulations coinciding with male benefits?
Do
you think we’re fucking stupid?
Do
you think we’re fucking dumb?!
Another
deceit, another ’smart’ move
-
another attempt by the patriarch.
The
value of Life is not the essential, but the subordination of women;
”Abortion
is murder (war is approved). Abortion is sin (war is sacred)”
Hypocrits.
Your commandments have a nice ring. You’ve blinded quite a few.
With
misogynistic politics, (the dick-possessing half of mankind will be interested)
the
dicks will belong to you. Religion will fall with our revolution!
- So
why write a song about this? Cause it's part of the punkband-stereotype
to
have
an anti-religion song? Well partly. I think it is interesting and important
to
analyze
the message of the Bible for example, and see the parallells with values
of
todays society. Why homophobia exists, why reproductive rights have been
held
away from women so long etc. These are just a few examples.
I
can't see the messages of the Bible exist along with the messages of an
equal society
where
human beings are allowed to grow as individuals and aren't restricted and
repressed.
In that sense you may anti-religious. But I am not opposed to religion
in
the
spiritual sense - merely a few of the politics.
Democracy
Tommyrot.
We
had a meeting up here. It concerned your lives.
You
were not invited. We traded our conscience for
the
bucks again. We traded your future. We traded
your
lives. We traded. And we earned. We treated
you
as shit. We betrayed you.
Just
victims of witty wording. Someone’s purpose was fulfilled.
Our
way comes the bucks and the jobs.Your way comes the
bullets
and the massacred bodies. It was either us or the french
or
the americans or the britts or whatever.
However
it was the bucks again.
- About
the JAS. A swedish fighter aircraft that is being sold to
unstable
democracies under the argument that these countries
must
have the option to deceide for themselves.
We
all know that the people do never get to deceide about these
sort
of decicions but they are always the losers of war.
At
Least A Failure.
I
have this dream of ignoring our ’sexes’.
Having
friends without penises.
See
I like the guts out of you; I think you’re smart, witty & funny
(i.e.
you’re a lot like me and yea, I’m a lot like you).
I
want us to be as tight as the tightest pair of jeans you’ve ever worn.
But
what the fuck can I do when I’m attracted to u?
Stupid
emotions. Waste of time. So get control, huh?!
- Wouldn't
it be nice to have a switch so we could be sexual when
we
wanted to?
Take
This Punk & Shove It.
What
differs us from the rest?
Our
obsession with style?
Our
consumption of records, shirts and stickers?
Our
hypocritical statements of unity and scene pride?
What
makes us the hard core? Our so-called consciousness?
Our
talk about action? Our ”open-mindedness”?
The
tough guy dancing? I’ve never seen worse; I quit.
- Hardcore
and punk sucks shit when you think of it.
I
think all the questions of the song are valid to is in the punk
community.
If we really wish to be a certain way then we
also
darn well have to work a little (or rather a lot).
*This
song will appear on The Great Musical Vegan Cookbook
coming
out on E.B.A
Records in a month or something, hopefully.
