“Please tell me it’ll be okay”
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go
I owe my soul to the company store
You can just replace company store with whatever capitalist institution owns you. 🫠
Stuffing corpses full of shit and pain.
They bloviate about a future beyond the moon. To bring about another planet’s doom
To discover peaceful life and beat our war-drum to its tune Unless my prayers are answered
Our end is coming soon.
Protest the Hero - Sequoia Throne
The rest of their discography is fantastic, but their lyrics in this album which penned by their former bass player is just another league.
Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me! x14
“Fuck the police”
Abracadabra boom-shacka-dae
I’m Violent J and I’m back like a vertebrae
And I come with a hat full of tricks
Trunk full of Faygo, car full of fat chicks.
ICP. Hocus Pocus
All coppers are bastards
It’s when murder is justice that martyrs are made
A one gun salute for the new Independence Day
One Gun by Lamb of God
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. - Freewill by Rush.
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
- Pink Floyd, Time
The older I get the less I like that one
Ten million dollars in a losing campaign
Twenty 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 running out of time
Bad Religion, Punk Rock Song from the album The Gray Race.
ABCDEFG…
And love is made more powerful By the ongoing drama of shared experience And the synergy of a kind of symbiotic empathy, or something
Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me
The unfortunate thing about this lyric is that people who have been asked to do nothing more than help keep our fellow citizens safe, healthy, and educated, think this is for them.
not to mention that the context of standing up to unjust government policing was reinterpreted by 90s skateboard kids as “be a dick to your teachers and parents”
And, fuck you!! I won’t do what you tell me!!
Fuck me and I’ll tell you what to do.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
And some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.
From wikipedia:
Zack de la Rocha sometimes changed the lyrics in the second verse from “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” to “Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office” when playing live.
Deine Gewalt ist nur ein stummer Schrei nach Liebe
Deine Springerstiefel sehnen sich nach Zärtlichkeit
Du hast nie gelernt, dich zu artikulieren
Und deine Eltern hatten niemals für dich Zeit
Oh-ho-ho, Arschloch!
I only lived in Germany for a bit, but this one stuck in my head pretty hard. Schrei nach Liebe by Die Ärzte
