Built Then Burnt (Hurrah! Hurrah!) Lyrics
I know people often say "Lyrics are poetry," but this is an inspirational message. These lyrics are some of the most compelling and powerful words I've heard from music, even though they're not even sang!
come on, its not about anarchism or socialism or communism. its about humanism. its about people coming together as human beings "Brothers and Sisters".
@olp89 Efrim Menuck and over ASMZ members are avid anarchists, as they've stated in interviews. This is especially evident in "Movie, Never Made". "Let our crowds be fed on tear gas and plate glass" is in reference to protests such as the Battle of Seattle, and "let's kill first the banker and his professional demeanor, let's televise and broadcast the raping of kings" is in reference to a bloody revolution.

this is both the most inspiring and devestating thing I've ever heard
And how the boy delivering the speech gets worked up, it's absolutely gut-wrenching! And all this coming from a child. It made me want to blow up a bank or city hall. (By the way, I have no intention of doing either of these.)
Yesterday, I armed you Today, I love you Tomorrow, I will abandon you
One ofthe strangest songs i've ever heard.
that about covers it all
The music is in this song is incredible...moving, powerful, bittersweet and tender. ASMZ is at their best when they take a more subtle approach as they did in this song. It still blows me away every time I hear it.
Aha, we've got a potential terrorist here :|

I think that the intro, said by a child, is meant to be a rallying call not only to anarchists but others in the radical political scene (i.e. socialists, communists). It's saying that there has been no action for a long time, and at the moment any action would push towards a better tomorrow.
