Quotes
[edit]- When you live in a capitalistic society, the currency of the dissemination of information goes through capitalistic channels. Would Noam Chomsky object to his works being sold at Barnes & Noble? No, because that's where people buy their books. We're not interested in preaching to just the converted. It's great to play abandoned squats run by anarchists, but it's also great to be able to reach people with a revolutionary message, people from Granada Hills to Stuttgart.
- One does not have to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University to recognise the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honours grad in political science from Harvard University, so I can confirm that for you
Lyrics
[edit]- It'll start with a spark, and a great fire will grow.
- California's Dark.
- In my nightmares the streets are aflame, and in my dreams it's much the same.
- One Man Revolution.
- Sacrifice and neon lights slave ships don't wait. Love many, trust few, and don't be late
- One Man Revolution.
- Yeah, I support my troops
They wave black flags
They wear black masks
All the roads are closed
Smoke is rising from the fields
The monsters left their cages
An angel set them free.- Flesh Shapes The Day.
- Can you explain to the mothers
And the fathers of those
Who come riding home in coffins
In their military clothes?- Battle Hymns.
- You don't gotta be loud, son, to be heavy as shit!
- Maximum Firepower.
- The skin you're in makes choices for you.
- Maximum Firepower.
- Thought hard about this next line
Pretty sure it's true.
If you take a step towards freedom
It'll take two steps towards you.- Maximum Firepower.
