" Gotta learn to stay away from all this tv " Live, he says LSD rather than TV. So this song can be taken two ways... it was either a heavy trip, or he actually killed her and promised to bury himself next to her, and now he's trying to remember/find where he buried her so he can die next to her as he promised. |

| Choking Victim – Hate Yer State Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Pretty much summed up this is telling you to make up your own mind, do what you want, ignore what people/institutions say to you, be socially conscious. Kinda have to read into it, and know the band's morals and ethics to derive the meaning, as the song itself is a bit anthemic and unclear. | |

| Choking Victim – Crack Rock Steady Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
** Crack Rock Steady, are you ready to stop the rotten blue menace? Let's go kill us a cop. Crack Rock Steady, are you ready? Living above the law! Po' little lice, the po' little screws, the whitest gang crew, the hated boys in blue. Like scabei on the street, they infest the beat, fucking my life but I won't admit defeat to them! Above the law, above the law come now, No copper will be safe till they are dead and done now. Let's lay em down low, let's hang em up high, Let's take all of these piggies, and have them crucified! ** Hardcore, rugged and raw, on the streets of New York, we live above the fucking law. It don't matter the color of your skin, as long as you not scandolous, commit no sin to me, or my tribe. Would not be wise. Time to smell the ganja, open up your fucking eyes. Kick back, keep your attitude in check, and give the crack rock steady much respect. ** Don't ya know that satan is the man? So listen very close because we got a little plan: We're gonna have to execute some rich important people, gonna burn down all the churches and topple all the steeples. See a frown? turn that cross upside down. Grab a gun or baseball bat, let's go to fuckin town! Let's kill the police, I'll be saying little more, But when the cops come to your door, don't forget the choice is yours! ** Riot sound, police come round, With the bass and drum we knock 'em down, Chop 'em up with the riffs an' in the stew, Drinkin' pot liquor made of poison glue (Pick it up!) Someone way up livin' in those high-rise castles Wishing with the hope that I lick their assholes with the beat we burn down those big brass doors, Here we go! Rocksteady! ** ** *speed up* ** ** |

| Flogging Molly – The Kilburn High Road Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Okay, a bit clearer I suppose: In the mid 1970s, a group of young men left their homes in the West of Ireland, took the boat out of Dublin Bay and sailed across the sea to England in the hope of making their fortunes and returning home. Twenty five years later only one makes it home - but does so in a coffin. The play takes place on the day that the winners and losers of the group meet up to drink to their friend's memory and looks at their lives, lost dreams and their place in the new Ireland. |

They had left Ireland even though they are Anti-England. In the end, they are discouraged that their homeland, Ireland, has changed and that for the most part they are unhappy with their lives and the direction their lives had went but can still remember the good times they had. | |
| Flogging Molly – These Exiled Years Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song most likely describes a recurring theme in their music, the life as a poor immigrant. The character in the song is experiencing "these exiled years" because he is poor and of low status, being an immigrant still learning the ways of the country and trying to make something of himself in a not-so-welcoming world. | |

| Against All Authority – Just An Obstruction Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| General rant on the persecution and expellation of Native Americans in the US. | |
| Against All Authority – Sacco And Vanzetti Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Well that argument is yes and no. Yes, their anarchistic beliefs and foriegn descent DID play a MAJOR role in their harsh persecution, and at the TIME there was no completely consistent evidence, but it was found in 1961 that Sacco had killed one of the victims, although Vanzetti was more or less an accesory only. | |
| Against All Authority – Hard As Fuck Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This one is pretty self-explanitory: God supposedly has turned his back on the lyricist of this song, and so the lyricist does the same to him. | |
| Against All Authority – Dinkas When I Close My Eyes Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| The Dinka are the inhabitants of South-Western Sudan, the exact location being named Bahr-el-Ghazal. There are an agricultural people, their main focus being on cattle farming. Their lifestyle is dependent upon the cattle and the products derived from the cattle. They are traditional people, still living, for the most part, in their classical style of historical Sudanese inhabitants. The Dinka seemingly did not practice the Jihad form of Islam, and thus were persecuted and enslaved by those who do practice the Jihad persuasion of Islam. Although not an entirely new issue, it has come to be known moreso internationally since the Sudan Peace Act was signed in October of 2002. | |
| Against All Authority – Haymarket Square Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Haymarket Square Riot Outbreak of violence in Chicago on May 4, 1886. Demands for an eight-hour working day became increasingly widespread among American laborers in the 1880s. A demonstration, largely staged by a small group of anarchists, caused a crowd of some 1,500 people to gather at Haymarket Square. When policemen attempted to disperse the meeting, a bomb exploded and rioting ensued. Seven policemen and four other persons were killed, and more than 100 persons were wounded. Public indignation rose rapidly, and punishment was demanded. Eight anarchist leaders were tried, but no evidence was produced that they had made or thrown the bomb. They were, however, convicted of inciting violence. Four were hanged, one committed suicide, and the remaining three-after having served in prison for seven years-were pardoned (1893) by John P. Altgeld, governor of Illinois, on the ground that the trial had been unjust. The incident was frequently used by the adversaries of organized labor to discredit the waning Knights of Labor movement. |

| Against All Authority – Bakunin Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Bakunin, Mikhail 1814-76 Russian revolutionary and leading exponent of anarchism. He came from an aristocratic family but entered upon revolutionary activities as a young man. He took part (1848-49) in the revolutions in France and Saxony and was sent back to Russia and exiled to Siberia. Escaping (1861), he went to London, where he worked with Aleksandr Herzen. In 1868, Bakunin became active in the First International, where, with his militant anarchist doctrines, he had great influence. These doctrines, however, brought him into conflict with Karl Marx, and he was expelled (1872). Bakunin believed that man is inherently virtuous and deserving of absolute freedom obtained through extreme individualism. He advocated violent overthrow of existing states and institutions as a necessary step to achieving such freedom. His writings include "God and the State." |
