Look all around you there's a war that's going on
A struggle against the odds that's breaking out and must be won
They're getting ready with the weapons they have found
Take inspiration from the sound
See it in the faces of the people everyday
We need to take control and find some ammo right away
Our cause is righteous and we're gonna have our say
Get ready for the judgment day
Go ahead and try
Or kiss your ass goodbye
People of society are running for their lives
Get up now and go or your never gonna know
Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try
Give it all and fight 'til you die
Fight 'til you die
A puppet government
They're dying in the streets
Families are breaking up 'cause underpaids can't make ends meet
The establishment has put their money underground
'Cause they all know what's coming down
A lucky precious few with money in their banks
Can't imagine what it's like to find yourself in homeless ranks
They've got no conscience for the ones who won't survive
The time for payback has arrived
Go ahead and try
Or kiss your ass goodbye
People of society are running for their lives
Get up now and go or your never gonna know
Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try
Give it all and fight 'til you die
Fight 'til you die
All alone in your own society
Outside are the cries of lives in misery
An evil plot of a false democracy
Subjugating souls just dying to be free
Look all around you there's a war that's going on
A struggle against the odds that's breaking out and must be won
They're getting ready with the weapons they have found
Take inspiration from the sound
Go ahead and try
Or kiss your ass goodbye
People of society are running for their lives
Get up now and go or your never gonna know
Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try
Give it all and fight 'til you die
Fight 'til you die
Fight 'til you die
Fight 'til you die

    this song was recorded in 1997. So is it safe to say they are pointing a finger at the Clinton Admin? "...A puppet government..." "...outside are the cries of lives in misery an evil plot of a false democracy subjugating souls just dying to be free..." I believe so. Or I could be wrong. Either way the song is great. Of course... its Pennwise for christs' sake. But I like this band most for their ability to let their fans judge the message of their songs. Whether or not our views of these songs are correct or not... its still great music. And we all share the same passion in a kick ass group.

    This is my fav pennywise song, and it has an air of political-ness. Maybe its talkin about anarchy...

    The first song in which PW changed, due to the loss of Thirsk. Only have to look at the lyrics. Talks about standing up to your beliefs, and guarding them with your life. Individualism

    It is criticsizing the government. It's almost a call to arms- the government is raping soceity, and you are the next target in their quest for gobal domination

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
