Subhumans "Labels"
Call me punk cos I wear a leather jacket
Call me a hippie cos I believe in love and peace maan
Call me an idealist cos of songs like this one
You can call me what you like I'm all and none of these
[Chorus:]
Fix a label on me to keep illusions happy
Fix a label on me does it make you feel secure?
Fix a label on me to keep me at a distance
And I'll label you as ignorant not wanting to know more
Before we understand ourselves do we have to fight each other?
Before we share opinions must we keep them undercover?
We classify and categorize to keep ourselves divided
We are all individuals not the images provided
[Chorus]
Labels are a subtle way of keeping us in line
Divided by conformity we waste away our time
We are all individuals divided by their rituals
Think again like I have done--throw away the labels!
[Chorus]

Peter and the test tube babies - "Banned From The Pubs"
Banned from the pubs get out of this place, banned from the pubs cos we don't like your face.
Banned from the pubs get out of that door, banned from the pubs or i'll call the law.
Banned, banned, banned, cos they don't like punks, banned, banned, banned, they treat us like drunks.
Banned from the pubs go on I said go, banned from the pubs can we have a drink ? No !
Banned from the pubs just get out of here, banned from the pubs no you can't have a beer.
Banned from the pubs go on yer way, banned from the pubs no punks they say.
Banned from the pubs you lot get out, banned from the pubs no punks they shout.

Inner Terrestrials – enter the dragon

Propagandhi - "War Is Peace"
Four more years of War is Peace, Ignorance is Stenght and Slavery is Freedom.
Four more. May all your interventions be "Humanitarian".
Four more years of pay-to-play politics, power and influence.
Four more years of legalized bribery and served corporate interests.
Vote for tweedle-dum or tweedle-dee
And a framework of debate narrowed for you courtesy
Of the ultra-rich and a media that filters
But any voice that challenges their power
(like Nader bounced in Boston by state-troppers
Cos he don't speak for oil-xycoons and bankers, oh yeah
Whose pursuit of happiness and liberty
Demands a rhetoric of fear to be
The litmus test for viable heirs to
The phony drug-wars, the trumped-up rogue-states, the permance of a war-economy).
I feel less hopeful and less human
As I'm reduced to nothing more than
Cheering on embassy bombings
As the liars pave their way through
Four more years of War is Peace, Ignorance is Stenght and Slavery is Freedom.
Four more. May all your interventions be "Humanitarian".
Four more years of pay-to-play politics, power and influence.
Four more years of legalized bribery and served corporate interests.

Chaos UK - "Cider I Up Landlord"
I likes to go down the pub every other day
On my marry way for a bottle of "K"
Propping up the bar, sipping down me pint
Won't be very long before we're pissed right up tonight
Pissed right up:
Cider, cider apple tree
Cider, cider I can't see
Now I'm going out of me mind
Now I'm going fucking blind
God knows what's happening to me
Feels like I've been kicked in
Cider, cider apple tree
Cider, cider one for me
Cider I up landlord
Cider I up landlord
Put more cider in my jug
Cider I up landlord
Cider I up landlord
Put more cider in my jug
I just can't get enough
When I'm guzzling my gallon down!
I know a place in England where the cider apple grows
The farmer that lives down there has got a big red nose
He's always drinking cider, as he sits beneath the tree
Come on drink your cider up, it's the one for you and me
The one for you!
On Tuesday morning you find me signing on the dole
With all the dirty stop-outs from Easton up to Knowl
I got the blues:
The cider blues:
On Thursday morning you find him standing by the door
By 3 o'clock he's down the pub, can't even see the floor
Drink cider, drink cider
All of the day
Drink cider, drink cider
It's the only way
Drink cider, drink cider
Spend all your pay
And get bleeding binned out of it!

Subhumans - "Can't Hear the Words"
Complicated words are stated
Theories become outdated
The innovation of your crime
Is out of tune and out of
No! No! I don t like it!
What we gonna do about it?
Let s sit down and talk about it
Action speaks louder than silence
But action is more than just violence
The thoughts are too strong to keep down
But you can t hear the words cos the music's too loud
Political voices
Distortionate noises
The products of our teenage dreams
Is this what entertainment means?
The piercing sound of teenage screams
Talking can't change anything
Someone said "the boy can't sing"
This entertainment is absurd
You re so busy fighting you can't hear the words
All your violence is in vain
You action men are all the same
Action is more than mindless violence
Look at yourself in paranoid silence

Vice squad - "Stand Strong, Stand Proud"
They'll tell you now you're old enough
You should settle down
They'll take away your dignity
So you'll always face the ground
Stand strong stand proud Chant your feelings loud
Stand strong stand proud Don't accept the crowd
Stand strong stand proud We'll rise and they shall fall
Stand strong stand proud One day we'll show them all
They'll offer an alternative
Promises that never end
But is it what you really want?
Their smiles are all pretence
They think they'll get you on the cheap
But who are they to tell?
It's time for you to up your price
You've only got yourself
They'll say that all you lived for
Has deserted you and died
Within you it will always live
Your source of strength and pride

Dead Kennedys - "Kill The Poor"
Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the Neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
But no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home...
The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonite
Gonna
Kill kill kill
Kill the poor
Kill the poor ...
Tonite
Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White
Jane Fonda on the screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night
While they
Kill the poor
Kill the poor ... Tonite

AntiFlag - "Fuck Police Brutality"
A bunch of punks hangin' out on the streets before the show.
Patty waggon pulls up, instinct - Run man, let'ts just go!
Cop chases them through the streets and then they inside.
They run into the crowd where maybe they can hide!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
He hides just standing in the crowd, there's no where he can run.
The cop comes up behind him and he cracks him with with a gun.
Drags his bloody ass outside and throws him to the ground.
There's no where left to take you boy, you're already downtown.
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
But the cops can do no wrong.
They can kill they can rape,
They can do what they want.
But the cops can do no wrong.
We've got to fight, take back the night,
The cops are just like Hitlers third reich.
Do what they want.
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
Who do we fear? Who do we trust? How do we know?
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!
Fuck Police! Fuck Police! Fuck Police Brutality!

Active Slaughter – Section 60

We’re here with the fucking Met police, Here to incite a breach of the peace
94 Criminal Justice Act, Hate Anarchists we think they’re crap

Be there on Mayday, Do whatever we say
With the help of the SWP, Give you a kick in free to do what we want

CHORUS
Thank you queen
Thank you state
Thank you for Section 60

Could have always stayed at home, Or got on with a job
You decide to join a mob, We’re gonna crack skulls naughty boys & girls

Warned of the consequence, Told to expect violence
Don’t complain we’re only doing our job, We love stitching people up

Here with the fucking Met Police, Here to uphold queen’s peace
Those of you who disrespect, Gonna get a baton across your head

Be there every fucking day, Tell the old bill to fuck off
We don’t really give a fuck, That’s why we’re Active Slaughter

Lost Cherees – But the rape goes on

Culture Shock – Colour TV

Crass - "Banned From The Roxy"
Banned from the Roxy... O.K.
I never much liked playing there anyway.
They said they only wanted well behaved boys,
Do they think guitars and microphones are just fucking toys?
Fuck 'em, I chosen to make my stand,
Against what I feel is wrong with this land.
They just sit there on their overfed arses,
Feeding off the sweat of less fortunate classes.
They keep their fucking power cause their finger's on the button,
They've got control and won't let it be forgotten.
The truth of their reality is at the wrong end of a gun,
The proof of that is Belfast and that's no fucking fun.
Seeing the squaddy lying in the front yard,
Seeing the machine guns resting on the fence.
Finding the entrance to your own front door is barred
And they've got the fucking nerve to call it defence.
Seems their defence is just the threat of strength,
Protection for the privileged at any length.
The government protecting their profits from the poor,
The rich and the fortunate chaining up the door.
Afraid that the people may ask for a little more
Than the shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
The shit they get. The shit they get.
DEFENCE? SHIT, IT'S NOTHING LESS THEN WAR
AND NO ONE BUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT'S FOR.
Oh yes they say it's defence, they say it's decency,
Mai Lai, Hiroshima, know what I mean?
The same fucking lies with depressing frequency,
They say "We had to do it to keep our lives clean"
Well whose like? Whose fucking life?
Who the fuck are they talking to?
Whose life? Whose fucking life?
I tell you one thing, it ain't me and you.
And their systems, christ, they're everywhere,
School, army, church, corporation deal.
A fucked up reality based on fear,
A fucking conspiracy to stop you feeling real.
Well ain't got me, I'd say their fucking wrong,
I ain't quite ready with my gun, but I've got my song...
Banned from the Roxy, well O.K.
I never much liked playing there anyway.
GUNS.

Aus rotten - "The Flag Will Cover Coffins"
Burn your countries flags
Fuck your patriotic pride
Fuck the politicians and the shit they try to hide
They make you pay their taxes and they make you fight their wars
But they won't feed the hungry and they don't care about the poor
Instead they try and take you for all your fucking worth
And they separate with flags all the people of the earth
They exploit our different cultures and enhance our sickening greed
And they get the hatred rising which is exactly what they need
But what about the people's needs
Will they be unfulfilled
Ane what of those who speak out? Will those "traitors" then be killed?
The only traitors that exist are the traitors to mankind
The ones who put the money first and the people's need behind
They say is we don't love our country then get the hell out
Should we be thankful to die in battle for what our flag's about?
Well fuck off
Fuck you
Fucking hear this
Your ignorant petty support doesn't mean piss
Don't support, no matter what the cause
Your fucking flags and damn religion just feed corporate claws
I renounce my citizenship from the U.S.A. and I'd suggest the same for any country
Because countries kill the people's will with their patriotic lie
And every fucking day you're killing who they say and you never even wonder why
Why do we blindly follow what our leaders have to say?
Instead let's make them answer to the people they betray
We don't owe our leaders anything so fuck what they demand
Then disregard their fucking lies and bury them where they stand
The flags will cover coffins where these fuckiers will now lie
And we'll give a flag to their families when these poor bastards die
Natonalistic pride is fucking shit why can't the people see
As long as flags fly up above us no one's really free
Free?

Discharge - Protest And Survive
The savage mutilation of the human race is set on course
Protest and survive, protest and survive
It's up to us to change that course
Protest and survive, protest and survive

4 Skins - "A.C.A.B."
hangin around with my mates one night
WE got in a little fight
Geezer come with a knife in his fist
i got cut along with the wrist said
ACAB ACAB ACAB
All cops are bastards
Coppers come up & say what's the matter with you?
now they see what we can do
Next thing i knew i was in a cell
all my mates are in there as well
ACAB ACAB ACAB
All cops are bastards
i had a court date to plead my case
they had delight at the look in my face
they said we're gonna put you away
i said all i had to say
ACAB ACAB ACAB
All cops are bastards

Leftover Crack - "Gay Rude Boys Unite"
Unity! HA! yer such a saint today
you may be anti racist but then you're anti gay
you may be ignorant from a lack of education
but if it's sympathy you see you seek
you better turn to another station
Intolerant society rears it's ugly face
you're turning your native music into a homophobic disgrace
the gay ones, the straight ones, the white tan yellow and black
gay rude boys and girls, we're gonna take that dancehall back
we'll take it back!
because without respect there's gonna be nothing left
This double standard just won't sit that well with me
I come to say this and it's just the way it has to be
you know i'm not PC i'll shoot your kid at school
'cuz he's gonna grow up to be a fucking asshole just like you
you can celebrate your unity till every gay is dead
but why don't you stop your fronting with real unity instead
and on a better dime on this shitty little globe
we would crucify the racists and be bashing all the homophobes
Intolerant society rears it's ugly face
you're turning your hardcore music into a homophobic disgrace
the gay ones, the straight ones, the white tan yellow and black
gay rude boys and girls, we're gonna take that dancehall back
we'll take it back, we'll take it back
because without respect there's gonna be nothing left
2000 triple zero stand up and take a look around
this ignorant fucking shit shouldn't happen in any town
so come on leave the closet and on your way out grab a bat
cuz there's a battle to be fought and the prize is fucking phat
autonomy from ignorance there's got to be a better way
but the racist, sexist homophobes and piggies gotta pay
but right now you got to get out of your fucking seat
and jam down to the faggot rythm's of that crack rock steady beat

Citizen Fish - Dividing Lines
So busy picking holes in our skin, that stretches tight to keep us all in.

That when what we thought were eternal friends have disappeared from the scene or changed their habits to suit themselves, we begin to know what it means to be choosing something outside the rules that no-one sets, but we follow. Demanding leaders and food for though, and its getting harder to swallow.

Meanwhile the police and the tax demands are coming in harder than ever. We're raising our fists, but not joining hands for fear of being seen together with people in same mentality, but differently aligned. We've got Straightedge, Hardcore, this Core, that Core… too many dividing lines!

Individual personal choices set examples, but don't create laws. We are not all the same as each other, but the difference ain't much at all. So, do what you like and let me do the same and maybe we'll do it together one day.

P.A.I.N. - “Oh No! It's the Pigs”

Sick on the bus - “everything's shit”

Casualties - “Spikey haired drunk punx”

Oi Polloi - "Victims Of A Gas Attack"
Kurds in iraq death gas attack
chocking death pain from saddam hussein
Victims of a gas attack
Choke in a ditch die for the rich
mustard gassed squaddie blistered dead body
Victims of a gas attack
No i wont fight might isnt right
fight your own wars there is no just cause

Varukers - "All Systems Fail"
You try to fight the system
But it's to no avail
All that the systems doing
You could only fail
All, All, All systems fail, systems fail.
Now that the system is falling to pieces,
Now that the system's failed no more deceiving

Restarts - big rock candy mountain

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fires were burning
Down a track came a hobo hiking and he said boys Im not turning
Im headed for a land thats far away beside the crystal fountain
So come with me and well go see the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain theres a land thats fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out everynight
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines everyday
and the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees the lemonade springs where the bluebirds sing all sorts of different fucking things in the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain all the cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmers trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh Im bound to go where there aint no snow where the rain dont fall and the wind dont blow where the grass plants grow and the nihilists go in th Big Rock Candy Mountain.

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain you never change your socks
and the little streams of alkyhol come trickling down the rocks
The breakmen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
Theres a lake of stew and whisky too, you can paddle all around em in a big canoe
You can do whatever you want to do in the Big Rock Candy Mountain

In the Big Rock Candy Mountain all the jails are made of tin
and you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There no short handled shovels no axes saws or picks
Im gonna stay where you sleep all day where they hung the jerk that invented work and Ill see you all this coming fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountain room for all - now fuck off!

Rabies Babies – Fucked Up Kid

Black Flag - "Wasted"
I was so wasted I was a hippie I was a burnout I was a dropout I was out of my head I was a surfer I had a skateboard I was so heavy man, I lived on the strand I was so wasted I was so fucked up I was so messed up I was so screwed up I was out of my head I was so jacked up I was so drunk up I was so knocked out, I was out of my head I was so wasted I was wasted.

Minor Threat - "Minor Threat"
We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash
The time is so little, the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?
Make do with what you have
Take what you can get
Pay no mind to us
We're just a minor threat
WE'RE JUST A MINOR THREAT
Early to finish, I was late to start
I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel
Take your time
Try not to forget
We never will
We're just a minor threat
WE'RE JUST A MINOR THREAT

Citizen Fish - Flesh and Blood
If animals are animals, and animals have brains,

we are no more than cannibals that refuse to see the pain.

The meat you eat is wrapped up neat; you didn't see it bleed.

And what you kill does not fulfill your dietary needs.

Take a look from this direction, save yourself the indigestion.

Our guts are geared to vegetation, and its healthier as well.

Open your eyes and face the facts.

Meat costs a lot and gives your heart attacks, which kills you.

Now, a lot of people think (wrongly) that vegetation lacks vitamin B12.

If you really think that's going to make you ill, then get a bottle of vitamin pills!

You could be more healthy, maybe it doesn't really bother you, but can your conscience bear the strain of all the pain that makes your food?

You could feed a lot of needy people with the grain they feed to cows,

but can you comprehend the end results or can you not allow

yourself to break the old tradition,

the false conception of nutrition?

"they all eat meat on television",

except those little starving children.

Would you ever eat the meat from another human being?

Flesh and blood is animal, is you and me. Animal is suffering.
