01 Tearing Everyone Down I thought I'd begun to see a change But the more things change, the more they stay the same Back stabbing and name calling, the trade marks of your act You talk and talk of unity, but divide with your attacks (You say), "I'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy... Tearing everyone down..." All us kids, we try to make a change Some kids start a band, others start a zine YOU, no matter what your path You throw a curve in what could be achieved, Then give up and move onto some other thing (You say), "I'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy... Tearing everyone down..." Take a break from your fights, try to open up your mind tonight When you feel that's complete then we can tackle this society! You may not like everything in life I do... But that doesn't mean, I'm not trying to change the same problems as you (You say), "I'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change, I'd like to see a change, but I'm too busy... Tearing everyone down..." 02 Captain Anarchy A-N-A-R-C-H-Y... He says that for the punk rock scene he'd give his fucking life But he's only ever paid to see a show once maybe twice Instead he stands outside the halls and pan handles for beer Then sneaks into the hall to deface the bathroom mirror A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...his name is "Captain Anarchy," but only in his mind A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...so punk that he's a poser and he'll be one till he dies You never saw an anarchist with such perfect hair Or so many ten dollar spikes, or so much punk rock gear He said he used his welfare checks to buy his boots and plaids In reality it was all paid for by his mom and by his dad A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...his name is "Captain Anarchy," but only in his mind A-N-A-R-C-H-Y...he's anarchy incarnate but only in his (mind) You know he just can't see Oi! Oi! Oi! It's up to you and me * * * I don't want to be * * * Fighting, let's stride for...SOME UNITY! 03 A New Kind of Army LOOK BACK...on history, nothing much has changed THOUSANDS...of soldiers of all countries, all marching the same Every nation's leader says that our side is right Every nation's leader says the time has come to fight But they use the common people, to settle their scores It's time that we refuse to fight in any of their wars! We're looking to start a new kind of army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die We're looking to start a new kind of army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill... for you! JOIN NOW...the ranks of all nations who refuse to go to war REFUSE...to pull the trigger of a gun for leaders 'round the world I'd rather fight to spread some tolerance and unity Than buy into their nationalistic brainwashing Killing mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, common human beings Not savages but people, like you, like me! We're looking to start a new kind of army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die We're looking to start a new kind of army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill... for you! We're looking for a few good men We're looking for a few good women Who are not afraid to fight against tyranny But refuse to fight...with tyranny REFUSE!!! We're looking to start a new kind of army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die We're looking to start a new kind of army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill... for you! 04 That's Youth GO! We were just hanging on the corner, after skating for a few We were just killing time looking for something new Then someone came 'long with a guitar, and we just started to play And we sang Clash songs and the songs of our lives until late into the night That's youth...That's all...that's all!!! That's all...that's all!!! That's youth...That's all...that's all!!! That's all...that's all!!! We'd only been friends for a short time, but in just an hour or two It was like we'd been friends our entire lives though And I was so in love with you, but not sure if I should say it But then I thought, "Yeah, I'm scared and I don't know if I should, but I'll do it anyway!" That's youth...That's all...that's all!!! That's all...that's all!!! That's youth...That's all...that's all!!! That's all...that's all!!! When all you hear is that, "you can't," or "give up," or "you're a fool" And you're so sick of all the in crowd and trying to be cool And still you don't, still you don't know what to do... But in the end you do your own thing, and you tell 'em to get screwed!!! That's youth...That's all...that's all!!! That's all...that's all!!! That's youth...That's all...that's all!!! That's all...that's all!!! 05 No Apology Slaughtered by the hands of a butcher The hands of the butcher were the hands of a "doctor" And these are the golden days that you want to bring back? Making it illegal won't make it go away The rich will fly to far off lands, the poor will stay and pray That their back alley abortion is clean and safe You can't make it go away, so why endanger women's lives? Because the issue here for you isn't life... IT'S CONTROL! Control of what we do and say BUT YOU'LL NEVER GAIN CONTROL-CONTROL-CONTROL Is to value life, to move a factory to, The place that you can most easily fuck those laboring for you? That isn't what I call a high value on life And yet that is the policy of those on the right Who back the brainwashed Jesus jumpers with the cash flow for the fight But we won't let you control our lives We're not gonna be, herded like your flock of sheep I value life more than anything... And your false morals, can't do a thing to brainwash me I'LL NEVER BE YOUR'S-YOUR'S-YOUR'S And there's no justice, in a system, that's run by greedy old men, who want to control our lives There's no justice in a system, that's run by greedy old men, who want to control our lives You're not gonna control our lives anymore... 06 Got the Numbers You push and push a people, what are they to do? Soon this corporate run government will be through You see, it doesn't represent the people anymore Big business are the pimps and governments' their whores We don't need more time to talk over a solution We know what we need, we need a fucking revolution We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars We've got one thing you don't have, we've got, we've got, we've got... GOT THE NUMBERS! To you the masses are not even human beings We're dogs that will be grateful for any scraps you leave But even dogs will only put up with so much abuse Keep stealing from us like you are we're gonna let loose We don't need more time to talk over a solution We know what we need, we need a fucking revolution We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars We've got one thing you don't have, we've got, we've got, we've got... GOT THE NUMBERS! We've got...we have... WE'VE GOT THE NUMBERS! We don't need more time to talk over a solution We know what we need, WE NEED A FUCKING REVOLUTION!!! We don't need your war machine, or your filthy blood stained dollars We've got one thing you don't have, we've got, we've got, we've got... GOT THE NUMBERS! 07 No Difference As I look from this stage at the hundreds of kids in this room with me The truth is so plain and so obvious, I just can't help to see... That all of us we are one and the same Only different in our ages and our names... How many times have you heard that you're a bore, or you're no good? I know that all of us have been there, that's why we're all here joined as one... We don't need that shit! This ain't no punk rock clique! We're as one at the show, and one after the show! We don't need that shit! This ain't no punk rock clique! Acceptance at the show! And then after the show! Society says that we're crazy With utopian unreal goals But we're fighting for something we truly believe And all I can say is I'm glad we do...we do... And they can say what they want...because our hearts...ARE TRUE!!! What we've had through these years has been so unforgettable And what we've had through these years has been so unbelievable What we've had through these years has been so unforgettable And what we've had through these years has been so unbelievable We don't need that shit! This ain't no punk rock clique! We're as one at the show, and one after the show! We don't need that shit! This ain't no punk rock clique! We're equal at the show, And then after the show! It's what we want to do! 08 I Don't Believe I learned about America from my first day in school Land of opportunity, land of the free They told us we were blessed and fortunate But they turned away my questions on homelessness I don't believe-I don't believe Born into a national identity A citizenship that defines the word "free" But if we're so fucking free why don't we even get a choice? I never choose to be a citizen, there was no choice given to make I don't believe-I don't believe I don't believe in America Or the "American Dream" I don't believe in nationalism We're all the same Until the rich old men who control the world find something they can't have And they send us out there to kill each other, let the rich fight their wars themselves I don't believe... You've got nothing to gain, by fighting for them! 09 Right On Pocatello, Idaho: "Punk rock?!?!?! Isn't that the type of music where kids cut each other with razor blades and knives?"
