The Pist : Live at the Boat House
Les paroles
1. 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
2. CAN'T TELL NO ONE
3. 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
4. ENERGY
You're living, existing, that's about all
All you do is lots of nothing, sit around and wait for something
Just looking at you makes me bored, your feet are nailed to the floor
Existing merely to exist, never happy, never pist
Too mature to take a chance, too grown up to get out and dance
You're living, existing, and all you can do is
Look right back into my face, I bet that I won't see a trace
Of any life behind those eyes, your apathy's what I despise
I guess you've seen it all before, you're boring, boring, boring, bored
Exciting as the Grateful Dead, just go home and go to bed
A body that's in motion will remain that way
A body at rest will surely decay
A body that's in motion will remain that way
You're completely immobile, that's how you're going to stay
I look at you and all I see is total lack of energy
I look at you and all I see is an overabundance of apathy
You're living, existing, are you breathing?
You've been drained of
Energy! Destroy stagnation, power comes from motivation
Energy! Is our existence, participation and persistence
Energy! Keeps us alive, so hit the stage and take a dive
Energy! The power to act, and energy is what you lack.
5. NEVER QUESTION
Maybe this is news to some of you, or perhaps you just forgot
You think we're getting the whole story, but I think that we're not
Because the government manipulates the media in this nation
We get only what we're supposed to, censored spoon-fed information
So never question, never think, the answer's there in bold-faced ink
Absorb and catalogue inside, no need to even use your mind
No, never question, never think, it's written down in bold-faced ink
Say hallelujah, I believe, and don't challenge what you perceive
You think that it's the truth because you saw it on TV
But you cathode ray messiah don't mean shit to me
You think that it's the truth because it's there in black and white
There's never any shades of grey within your narrow sight
So never question, never think, the answer's there in bold-faced ink
Absorb and catalogue inside, no need to even use your mind
No, never question, never think, it's written down in bold-faced ink
Say hallelujah, I believe, and don't challenge what you perceive
You believe all you see and everything you hear
Tied down to the media lies, to you it's all so clear
And you remain happy as long as they keep lying to you telling you that everything is okay
Have you ever stopped to think or to question what you're told?
Do you still have a mind, or have you been brainwashed, bought and sold?
By our benevolent protectors, who you blindly trust
And in their omnipotence, they know what's good for us (and they say)
So never question, never think, the answer's there in bold-faced ink
Absorb and catalogue inside, no need to even use your mind
No, never question, never think, it's written down in bold-faced ink
Say hallelujah, I believe, and don't challenge what you perceive
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. 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
8. 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
9. HALLELUJAH
I had a dream the other day that sex was religion, get on your knees and pray
Everyone wanted communion twice, and everyone wanted the body of Christ
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
There was no priest and there was no pope, and everyone got off without shooting dope
No televangelists stealing from the poor, no Jehovah Witnesses knocking at my door
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Sex was clean and sex was right, sex wasn't something you only did at night
The world was at peace, as a whole and everyone got free birth control
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
10. 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!
11. 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
12. 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
13. STREET PUNK
You see all the kids, going out tonight
Just to have some fun and no one's looking for a fight
We're greeted by hostility by everyone we meet
We just pass em on by, we're the kids on the street
You think that you may know us, or maybe know our type
Cause you can't see beyond the media, yeah don't believe the hype
We get hassled by the cops, you know it's not our fault
But when the law caters to the rich, it's time for an assault
Street punks in the city, and street punks at the show
The kids are here, and the kids are pist
Yeah the kids are ready to go
There are some of us who care, and some don't give a shit
We've all got our problems but we'll make the best of it
We gotta work together towards a common goal
Cause if we fight amongst ourselves we'll soon be under their control
We really don't care about the color of your skin
Or if you're gay or straight, or boy or girl, we'd rather look within
If you don't like our lifestyle, we'll tell you to Go Screw
We'll get by with what we got we don't need anything from you
Street punks in the city, and street punks at the show
The kids are here, and the kids are pist
Yeah the kids are ready to go
You see all the kids, going out tonight
Just to have some fun and no one's looking for a fight
We're greeted by hostility by everyone we meet
We just pass em on by, we're the kids on the street
