No Paradise Lyrics
smoke stacks reach the sky
as talk of revolution heats the air
in every city street
in every state
the truth stands all too clear
the kids are sick and tired of the news today
sick and tired of all the lies
we want the truth
it isn't going to be no paradise
forget the claims
oh no
we need to take the world back now
we need to take control right now
promises of a better tomorrow
promises bought on borrowed dollars
no disaster ever looked so great
so while I say
as old men delivered that league of terror; war
we ask ourselves what are we dying for?
so all the kids are sick and tired of the news today
sick and tired of all your lies
we want the truth
it isn't going to be no paradise
forget the claims
oh no
we need to take the world back now
we need to take control right now
the richest of the rich, dine in fancy chic cafes
not a worry of their days
the cost of luxury, throughout empires of history
his vengeance from those empires enslaved
you better hear us now
it isn't going to be no paradise
forget the claims
oh no
as talk of revolution heats the air
in every city street
in every state
the truth stands all too clear
sick and tired of all the lies
it isn't going to be no paradise
forget the claims
oh no
we need to take the world back now
we need to take control right now
promises bought on borrowed dollars
no disaster ever looked so great
so while I say
as old men delivered that league of terror; war
we ask ourselves what are we dying for?
sick and tired of all your lies
it isn't going to be no paradise
forget the claims
oh no
we need to take the world back now
we need to take control right now
not a worry of their days
the cost of luxury, throughout empires of history
his vengeance from those empires enslaved
it isn't going to be no paradise
forget the claims
oh no

well Unfairly to their advantage and unfair to the lower class sorry wasnt thinking right
This is actually a pretty sad song. It's about the world "isn't ginna be no paradise". The future isn't very bright. The whole song gives some reasons why it isn't ginna be no paradise. There is a bit of positive in this song where they say "We need to take the world back now. We need to take control right now". Like that will ever happen.
It's a typical punk message, I like it though cuz it's true.
Every Anti-flag song meaning is clearly put
This one has a few possible ones tho
1.This is saying things have to get worse before they get better (Talking about a Revolution compared to staying the way it is now)
2.Teens hate the way things are today and when they are able to change the world they will and it wont be pretty
3.Both the top ones kind of combined but in a present instead of future format (Teens want to be heard they want change)
and the breakdown suggest unfairly treating the upper class
