The Pist : Live At WNYU
Les paroles
1. INTRODUCTION
(instruction)
2. TEXTBOOK SALVATION
I sat in your classroom and listened to you say
Resign your mind to what's assigned and learn to think our way
Consume this useless data and repeat it back to me
Incorporate; regurgitate: Straight A philosophy
You are the system the red, white and blue
The lies you are teaching now start to show through
Speak only when you're spoken to and never raise your voice
Implant submission in the youth while they still have no choice
Input equals output, bullshit in means bullshit out
A wealth of worthless facts won't help you find what life's about
You are the system we hold in contempt
And we close our minds to the lies you present
Textbook Salvation: calculated imagination
Textbook Salvation: we'll accept no deviation
Textbook Salvation: you call this an education?
Textbook Salvation: mandatory suffocation
I defy your backwards system, and shout my heresies
Education through life's frustration exposed your inadequacies
Input equals output, nothing in means nothing out
If you can't teach about real life, then what are we learning about?
You are the system which we attack
While you stand behind us you stab us in the back.
3. RIGHT TO CHOOSE
Please impose your rules on us, please tell us what to do
We have no minds we can't decide, without help from you
No thanks, go fuck yourself! The same goes for your views
Don't shove opinions down our throats, we have the right to choose
No we won't listen, especially not to you
You're pro-life views are just a front for telling us what to do
No you can't stop us, not without a fight
You're pro-life talk is just a front for taking away our rights
It's not just about abortion, no it's all about control
You play the part of caring Christians trying to save our souls
If heaven's where you want us, then there's something we should mention
They say the road to hell is often paved with good intentions
No we won't listen, especially not to you
You're pro-life views are just a front for telling us what to do
No you can't stop us, not without a fight
You're pro-life talk is just a front for taking away our rights
Please protect us from ourselves, please tell us what to do
We have no lives past your confines, we need to be led by you
No thanks again, go screw yourself and stuff your fucking laws
Your Christian rules do not apply when we expose your flaws
No we won't listen, especially not to you
You're pro-life views are just a front for telling us what to do
No you can't stop us, not without a fight
You're pro-life talk is just a front for taking away our rights
4. WARNING SHOT
I'm a graduate of the academy, a terrorist in blue
With a badge and gun I'll have some fun, do what I want to do
Now I've got the power, you can see it on my face
I know ten ways to beat your ass and never leave a trace
You think that it's a job, but it's really lots of fun
I'm a racist and a psychopath and they gave me a gun
Now I can bust just who I wanna, and let my buddies go
I'm a rapist and a murderer and no one will ever know
I am an officer, go ahead make my day
A warning shot right between the eyes
That's the American way
I tried to bust a graffiti artist for painting on the walls
But he pulled a gun just cause I kicked him in the balls
You know I don't deserve this, I just tried to do my best
Now I'm lying in the gutter with a bullet in my chest
I am an officer, go ahead make my day
A warning shot right between the eyes
That's the American way
Bang bang you're dead
5. TRUE LOVE
You say you love her, you don't even know her
She just wants to escape your callous, groping eyes
Say you want to touch her, but you don't even know her
Hit and run ain't her idea of a good time
And you want to be with her, but you don't want to know her
What she has to say is the last thing on your mind
No you cannot own her, you'll never understand her
I'd love to see her spit right in your face
It's all so clear to you, why she should be with you
You just want sensory stimulation
I can see right through you, and I don't believe that you'd
Consider her another trophy for your wall
Her opinions mean nothing, her mind is a distraction
An annoyance that you have to endure so you can score
I know she don't believe you, she's smart enough to see you
For the lying scumbag that you really are
You make me sick
I hate you
I just want to scream
Your attempted domination just reflects the American dream
From which I've tried to wake you, but your eyes are sealed tight
Your attitude and thinking, just ain't fucking right
You say you love her, you don't even know her
She just wants to escape your callous, groping eyes
Say you want to touch her, but you don't even know her
Hit and run ain't her idea of a good time
And you want to be with her, but you don't want to know her
What she has to say is the last thing on your mind
6. WE'RE THE PIST
Our rights have been denied too long
Get off you ass and sing this song
Smash a bottle, hit the streets
Prepared for anything we meet
Chorus:
We're the kids you can't put down
We're the kids who've been around
We're the ones who break the mold
We're the Pist, the young and old
We're the ones society hates
We're the kids who'll smash the state
We're the one who don't fit in
We're the Pist, the punks and skins.
Fuck the nazis' white pride lies
We'll be dead before we sympathize
With racist hatred ignorance
And mindless blind obedience!
Chorus
P for Punk, the attitude not the music
I for Intelligence, we're not afraid to use it
S for Strength, to stand up and resist
T for thousands of people feeling PIST!
Have you heard enough of their lies?
It's time for us to organize
Do you fit in their society?
Or do you feel pist like me?
Chorus
7. ANTI-HUMAN
On Mother Earth we cleared our space
The most worthless species on the planet's face
Just stop and think about what good we've done
While looking out for number one
Born to consume, we live to waste
The cycle of destruction is easily traced
To the only creatures with the malicious intent
To create religion and government
Our intellect is completely misused
Our brains just function to abuse
We have the power, yet we refuse
To replenish all the resources that we use
Anti Anti Anti-Human
Human Race
Anti Anti Anti-Human
What a disgrace
Anti Anti Anti-Human
Human waste
I've learned to hate the human race
On Mother Earth we've cleared our space
So we'll have enough room to fall from grace
Take a look around at all we've done
While looking out for number one
Anti Anti Anti-Human
Human Race
Anti Anti Anti-Human
What a disgrace
Anti Anti Anti-Human
Human waste
I've learned to hate the human race
Anti-Human
8. THREAT
You know all the cool places where all the punks hang out
All those same old places that I don't give a shit about
There's so many people just following a trend
No honesty or sincerity, it's the same old shit again
This is a warning. No, this is a threat
As long as we're alive then punk's not dead yet
Consider this a challenge, there's problems unresolved
Forget about your fashion show and start to get involved
Yeah we can make this happen, we're fighting for a cause
Without your approval, so fuck your damned applause
Yeah, we can make this real. Engage a solemn vow
So let's get off our asses and start right fucking now
So what about you are you gonna play the role?
Sit back and let someone else take control?
Can we burn our bridges? Can we start something new?
Exactly what is your independence worth to you?
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance
Complacency is cowardice, there's no room for obedience
Let anger be our fuel, our power from within
Our vehicle is action, and the will to not give in
This is a warning. No, this is a threat
As long as we're alive then punk's not dead yet
Consider this a challenge, there's problems unresolved
Forget about your fashion show and start to get involved
9. FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION
I'm tired, and pist
And bored of punching the wall
And sick of punching the clock
And beating my head from the inside out
So don't tell me you know what's going on
That you know what I'm about
That the anger that I feel isn't real
I try, to break away
But every freedom has its price
And every virtue has its vice
Sometimes you gotta spill your blood
I tear these chains of age that drags me to the floor
This rage I've never felt before
Consumes my every word and thought
Don't you try to stop me
You can't hold me back
By suppressing my hostility
You force me to attack!
10. BUBBLE GUM BULLSHIT (BLAH BLAH BLAH)
Don't you worry kid, it takes years to get that far
Someday you'll be famous, I can see you'll be a star
All it takes is hard work to get your name around
You need some good connections to get you off the ground
Play that bubble gum bullshit blah blah
Commercialize your music ha ha
Play that bubble gum bullshit blah blah blah
I heard you had a lot of fun on your summer tour
But if you played so many shows, then why are you so poor?
You're doing this all wrong, there's money to be made
Just sacrifice your ethics, and you can all get paid
What you need's a manager, and some glossy 8 X 10s
So you can play those college shows again and again
What you need's a record label to tell you how to play
Market your rebellion, and sell your soul today
Play that bubble gum bullshit blah blah
Commercialize your music ha ha
Play that bubble gum bullshit blah blah blah
Sell your soul today
11. YOUR AMERICA
You stand for the pledge, I choose to sit
Salute the flag, I'll desecrate it
I am not a patriot, can't you fucking see
I believe in autonomy, I believe in me
Your America is not mine, don't waste your breath, don't waste my time
Your America is not free and that's not how it was meant to be
Jesus nailed on a hill, looming over me
All my life I've had to suffer for his humility
If he really paid for my sins, what was the amount?
Don't want to be in his debt, let's settle the account
Your religion is not mine, don't waste your breath, don't waste my time
Your savior can't save me, from a world of inhumanity
Your artificial fun, it suits you just fine
A beer, a joint, some ludes and coke, then wash it down with wine
Look at yourself, there's tombstones in your eyes
So when you're fucking dead and gone, don't act so surprised
Your idea of fun is not mine, don't waste your breath, don't waste my time
Your fucking drugs are not for me, I just want to live in reality
I don't want your American way of life
I don't need your American way of life
Fuck your American way of life
Fuck your American waste of life
Your America is not mine, don't waste your breath, don't waste my time
Your America is not free and that's not how it was meant to be
12. SOMEONE'S GONNA DIE
13. DESTROY SOCIETY
Ever since I was a child, you played me like a fool
You tried to engrave your hypocrisies through your oppressive rule
You taught me lust for money and you showed me lust for flesh
That's something I can't forgive, and I will never forget
Chorus:
I will never forgive: Society!
And I will never forget: Society!
Just what it did to me: Society!
I want to tear it down: Society!
I will never be your servant, nor will I be your slave
I see the child that I was and lay flowers on his grave
I'm not that naïve anymore, my eyes can clearly see
I've been force fed lies and anesthetized so systematically
I will no longer be conditioned
And I will no longer submit
I can't play your games anymore
My freewill is worth fighting for
I won't ever need it: Society!
I can't be part of your: Society!
And I won't follow the rules of: society!
I just want to destroy society
I look at all the people, my contempt it turns to hate
They run like rats in an endless maze from which there's no escape
I see your twisted customs, you're afraid of something new
There's got to be a better way than what we've been told to do
I want to destroy society
