    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.

    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.

        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 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
