Beat the Bastards
Beat the Bastards: Defying Systemic Oppression with Punk Fury
Lyrics
Who the fuck are you?
Questioning the identity or authority of someone.
Slaves to the system there's no way out
Highlighting a sense of being trapped within the societal structure.
Slaves to the system do you have a shout
Asking if there's a way to resist or rebel against the system.
You've got to beat the bastards and beat 'em now
Advocating for a direct confrontation with oppressive forces.
Sick of policies putting me down
Expressing frustration with policies that undermine or degrade.
Beat the bastards, beat them now
Repetition emphasizing the urgency to take action against the oppressors.
Beat the bastards, beat them now
-Beat the bastards, beat them now
-Just out of school don't have a clue
Describing the challenges faced by the young, including lack of support and opportunities.
No income support for you
-Can't get a job don't get a chance
-Sick of politics leaving you out
-Beat the bastards, beat them now
Reiterating the call to resist and confront those in power.
Beat the bastards, beat them now
-Beat the bastards, beat them now
-Money, money power and strength
Highlighting issues of wealth, power, teenage struggles, and neglect for the homeless.
Teenage kids with not to spend
-Hungry homeless who gives a shit
-Sick of policies leaving me out
-Beat the bastards, beat them now
Repeating the call to action against oppressive policies.
Beat the bastards, beat them now
-Beat the bastards, beat them now
-You've got to beat the bastards, beat the bastards,
Emphasizing the need to beat the oppressors, repeated for impact.
Beat the bastards, you've got to beat the bastards,
-Beat the bastards, you've got to beat the bastards,
-You've got to beat the bastards,
-You've got to beat the bastards, beat the bastards
-Slaves to the system there's no way out
Reiterating the theme of being enslaved by the system and the call to resist.
Slaves to the system do you have a shout
-You've got to beat the bastards and beat 'em now
-Sick of policies leaving you out
-Beat the bastards, beat them now
Final repetition of the urgency to beat the bastards.
Beat the bastards, beat them now
-Beat the bastards, beat them now
