Les paroles

1. 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
No you cannot own her, you'll never understand her
I'd love to see her spit right in your face.


2. I HATE MUSIC

I hate music, I hate what it's become
The money making scams of greedy corporations
Devoid of emotion, sterile and corrupt
Marketing over integrity, you fill me with disgust


I Hate Music I Hate Music I Hate Music
Those greedy motherfuckers
I Hate Music I Hate Music I Hate Music
Go…

Corporate wheels turn and the executives scheme
You supply the energy to power their machine
While ego-massaging magazines make them think they're god
But I'm a fucking atheist, and you're just a sellout snob

I Hate Music I Hate Music I Hate Music
Don't believe the corporate lies
I Hate Music I Hate Music I Hate Music
D.I.Y. or Die!!!

All the major labels don't want to see truly independent bands around
Bands who don't want their money, their fame, their slick promotions
Or their corporate games…
We never needed them, we never will
We can do it ourselves

I hate music, I hate what it's become
The money making scams of greedy corporations
Take your business elsewhere or we'll throw you out the door
We're just a band doing it ourselves, not corporate rock star whores.


3. SMALL TOWN

Small town lives
Small town lies
You don't fit
In their small town minds

You grew up in a small town, you know you're different than the rest
And all the kids just put your self restraint to the test
So sick of the stupidity they broadcast and display
But they control the world we choose to live within today

Small town lives…they hide behind their
Small town lies…so what are gonna do when
You don't fit?
In their small town minds…

They think that you're a loser yeah, well ignorance breeds fear
They made your life a living hell, but you choose to persevere
Never bothered with the social games they all would play
You feel like you wanna make those fucking bastards pay

Small town lives…they hide behind their
Small town lies…so what are gonna do when
You don't fit?
In their small town minds…

Kicked out of school for reasons you never understood
Grow up fast, forget the past, your fucked up childhood
Get your act together and leave this shitty little town
Cause if you stay, you'll fade away or burn it to the ground


4. 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.


5. BLACK AND BLUE COLLAR

Here we are, just sheep in the flock
Arranged neatly in line, just to punch the clock
Compliments of the company, here's your early grave
You set a fine example, of the new American slave
The working class pride of the working class multitudes
Is the working class lie behind indentured servitude
How much of our precious lives are going to waste?
With all the fucking years that are spent in the workplace
And blue collar pride is a fucking shame
A capitalist's excuse just to play the system's game
Possessed by your possessions, the mortgage and the bills
The death we bought is slow, but we own it, and it kills…

Don't want to hear your shit
This blue collar doesn't fit
Sick of working to survive
Got no pride in being barely alive

Five decades full of piss and blood and one life full of shit
You labored and you toiled, tried to make the best of it
It's a no win situation at optimum efficiency
You struggle just to make it, but there are no guarantees
Agencies and landlords have to hear you sing the blues
They try to take what's left after you've paid your union dues
You gave your mind and body. No, you put it up for sale
It's a maximum life sentence. Rot in your own jail…

Don't want to hear your shit
This blue collar doesn't fit
Sick of working to survive
Got no pride in being barely alive

Just for dollars and cents, or pounds and pence
I start to feel like we've lost our common sense
And being treated like a slave doesn't even piss you off
They got you by the balls, so just turn your head and cough…

Don't want to hear your shit
This blue collar doesn't fit
Sick of working to survive
Got no pride in being barely alive


6. 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…


7. 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


8. MUTUAL

I hate you and you hate me
We both hate the world
We can't see eye to eye on anything

Nothing at all…

Brian: Alright, here's the deal…we have an underground scene where we are all misfits and rejects from society…
Rick: As long as we keep letting our personal politics divide us, they will always have the upper hand…
Bill: We congregate in cliques based on our music, fashion, race and politics, we divide and they conquer…
Al: So let's forget about the barriers we create for ourselves. We gotta get our shit together and turn out animosity towards each other into a force that can bring down the system that we both hate!


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. 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


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. 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…


13. SLOGANS

What is real anarchy? What is real peace?
What is real freedom? Is it fighting the police?
What about autonomy? Are you really in control?
And what about religion? Do you think you have a soul?

Be careful what you wish for, someday it may come true
Reality is here, your dreams are beaten black and blue
If you want to fight the government, then be prepared for war
If you want to talk about peace, then prepare to be ignored…

What about abortion? How about equal rights?
Animal liberation? Will you stand up and fight?
Are you a racial separatist? Does your kind stand apart?
Or an existentialist? And do you have a heart?

Or is this just another cause that you pursue?
Well, there will come a day when you will have to see it through
Idle words from idle minds have never changed a thing
And no one listens to a sloganeering puppet on a string

Anarchy Peace War Police Religion Silence Control Violence

Be careful what you wish for, someday it may come true
Reality is here, your dreams are beaten black and blue
Idle words from idle minds have never changed a thing
And no one listens to a sloganeering puppet on a string…


14. 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


15. NEEDLESS

Now that we have stolen the earth from all of those who were here first
And sadistically we take their lives, in the name of science we terrorize
Hurt and torture the innocent and support it with our money spent
On experiments based on death and pain, we shed their blood with nothing to gain

What makes you think you've got the right to bleed the weaker of their lives?
Pull them from their forest homes and strip their skin from their bones
Throw them in a tiny cell and subject them to a life in hell
Human greed now welcomes death, and draws from life its final breath

Chorus:
No tears are shed for wasted lives, except for the few who hear their cries
But you have turned deaf with greed, profits rise as the innocent bleed

Is it civilized to be abusive when nine out of ten tests are inconclusive?
Does science prove superiority? Does money give you the authority?
To destroy the beauty that nature creates, it's your actions that fuel my hate
If there's justice you'll suffer the worst, you just better pray that I don't get to you first

Chorus


16. 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


17. SOMEONE'S GONNA DIE
