Lyrics
The backlash has started, but we ain't fucking laughing, take a look at how
The resistance or opposition has begun, but there is no amusement or joy in it.
Much has changed, there ain't mush to smile about. We've done four years of
Observing the significant changes that have occurred, and there is little reason to be happy about the current situation.
Begging and a lot longer struggling, well ain't it about time, we took back
After enduring four years of pleading and a much longer period of struggling, it's time to reclaim what rightfully belongs to us.
What is ours.
A call to action to take back what is rightfully theirs.
Punk formed as a movemnet to set right what was wrong: the opposing side said
Punk originated as a movement to correct societal wrongs. The opposition asserted their own righteousness and control over punk.
No. we're right, you're wrong. They controlled our bands with money and they
The establishment controlled punk bands through financial means, benefiting from their hard work.
All sucked off our sweat, well that's the fucking lesson we never must forget.
The lesson learned is not to forget the exploitation and sweat endured by punk musicians.
The time moved on and rebellion Just seemed to be a bore, as one by one the
As time passed, rebellion became dull, and leaders fell one by one. Money corrupted the movement.
Leaders collapsed, the money bought the whore, time and time again we heard
The leaders collapsed, and money influenced their actions, leading to broken promises and delayed actions.
New promises were made, but words was all it was, the action was delayed.
New promises were made, but they remained mere words, lacking real action.
They tried to salvage something, but the mistake already done, with C.B.S. and
An attempt to salvage the situation, but the damage was already done, with major record labels like C.B.S. and E.M.I. involved.
E.M.I. backing what went on. Those tears upon the stage, we heard they all
The tears shed on stage were sincere, and unity among the punk community could have marked a new beginning.
Came from the heart and if we all stood together, it would just be the start.
Despite the potential for change, the envisioned start never materialized, and hopes were lost.
Well the start just never happened, as our hopes ran down the drain, now
The punk movement, once powerful, witnessed its aspirations draining away, and a critical observation is made about the repetition of history.
Take a good look, you'll see it's happening again, the punk movement once
Encouraging the audience to observe the current situation where history seems to be repeating itself within the punk movement.
Strong, once offering real change, is searching fame and fortune, and that
Reflecting on the past strength of the punk movement, which initially offered real change, but now it is driven by a pursuit of fame and fortune, deviating from its original purpose.
Just ain't the fucking way.
Asserting that seeking fame and fortune is not aligned with the true spirit of punk.
Punk is still our movement, we can put tight what is wrong by learning to say
Reaffirming that punk is still their movement and advocating for correcting societal wrongs by rejecting false narratives with a united voice.
No, we're right, you're wrong, fuck their fucking future it means oppression
Rejecting the oppressive future imposed by others and calling for resistance against war and hate.
War and hate its time to turn the tables around and recreate the state.
Emphasizing the need to overturn the current state of affairs and rebuild a new societal order.
