bit of peace punk-rock for tonight :)

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 army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
we're looking to start a new 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 army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
we're looking to start a new 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 womyn who are not afraid to fight against tyranny but refuse to fight...with tyranny... refuse!!!

we're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to die
we're looking to start a new army, (that's) too smart to fight, too smart to kill...
for you!

"You can kill the protestor, but you can't kill the protest" Bah, Anti-Flag is ultimate. They're one of the only punk bands in the US to actually say being patriotic to their country is being a terrorist. They hate George W Bush and his administration, and if you listen to a majority of Terror State [2003] its pretty much all about the Iraqi invasion. I own terror state and underground networks, best two albums. Go and buy Terror Sate and make sure it has the cardboard cover, look inside - do it :|

here are some lyrics i wrote one night after insane overdose of Anti-Flag and an argument with my ex. i've been editing them since, but these are the original words:

Political Hypocrisy

INTRO:
Welcome to this world
Where we live in
Unrest in society

Madmen direct hate
People are dying
Our home is anarchy
--------------------------------
CHORUS:
Political violence
Vaguely remember
Days of yesterday

War is a killer
Blanket bomb the innocent
Terror is all today
--------------------------------
VERSE:
We live in blindness
Covered by eternity
Of government disregard

Why can't the people see
Their word is not decree
What's wrong in our life today?
--------------------------------
CHORUS:
Political violence
Vaguely remember
Days of yesterday

War is a killer
Blanket bomb the innocent
Terror is all today
--------------------------------
VERSE:
War is a part of
Our life of media
Watch the nightly news

People lie starving
Children are dying
Billions are spent on war
--------------------------------

CHORUS:
Political violence
Vaguely remember
Days of yesterday

War is a killer
Blanket bomb the innocent
Terror is all today
--------------------------------
BRIDGE:
People take what they want
Never giving back
The world will soon be gone

Corrupted figureheads
Deadly diseases
Fight for the your dignity
--------------------------------
CHORUS:
Political violence
Vaguely remember
Days of yesterday

War is a killer
Blanket bomb the innocent
Terror is all today

Terror is all today
Terror is all today
Terror is all today
Terror is all today

The problem with anti-flag is that they're WAAAAAAY too political. Sure the ocassional song like that is good, but nearly every song of theirs is that way.

Im not saying i dont like them, but lets just say they're not exactly the most played band in my playlist
