Burn Lyrics
Just to spite what they're selling
Take a thousand hits to prove the rest and I'll move in
Millimeters still won't mean shit against well-done subversion
When their own sons and daughters
Manifest destiny into a lesson to others
Sent away my crippled, let the old ones catagorize their deathcamps, they're all dead
Like they did to the Anarchists at their stakes
And it'll burn burn burn
Like the histories they stole from us
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice
And cringe, and rack guns of shame
In full riot gear to unrest objection
A well-controlled media to pick out our terrorists
When beaurocrats start dying from cancer
And purified aerosol solution, guess who's their target
Seven approaching a measure off the map
And you'll see me dance in the street once again
And it'll burn burn burn like the histories they stole from us
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice
And give apologies for immeasurably acted perfection
This is the only song I have ever shed a tear over every time I listen to it.
I could be wrong, and I'm not setting this in stone or anything, but I think this song's about how the founding fathers of America were anarchists themselves.
How it's viewed as "bad" or "wrong" to be an anarchist now-a-days, and how it's horrible to wish something better for our country.
Awesome fucking song, has anyone noticed that Tom uses bottled water as a reference to something mainstream and corporate. In Tonight We Give It 35% he talks about drinking bottled water with people he doesn't want to associate with. and in this: There are already businessmen who'll market bottled water
Any insight or am I stating something obvious?
I completely agree with laceton on his/her point. Americans have such a negative view on protesters, revolutionists, and the like, even though the country was founded by revolutionists who wanted something better than the corrent form of government was offering. Gabel compares the fate of the current neocon-style patriots to that of the monarchists after the American Revolution.
Amazing.
It's so funny how they have the little 'Ay yay aye"'s in it. Definitiely adds a comedic effect.
take a thousand hits to prove that we're still not movin*
take a thousand hits to prove that we're still not movin*
I think this is the best Against ME! song to have ever been released.
this song has such amazing energy. amazing. pounding beat, great singing. perfection.
