She used to have a life and she trusted the banks She believed the stories of indepence and flags She forgot she's a part of the working class Then she lost everything and everyone and she lives a nightmare Now she looks for food in the supermarket garbage Toni has two kids go to school They're not educated, just manipulated They are creating fools But tomorrow is the national day and the family will raise the flag What those kids will never know is that they are just being brainwashed Remember that every flag is just a prison And that every government soon or later will commit a treason Cause your flags are our misery

We're told that after the war The Nazis vanished without a trace But battalions of fascists Still dream of a master race The history books they tell o' their defeat in '45 But they all came out of the woodwork On the day the Nazi died They say the prisoner at Spandau Was a symbol of defeat Whilst Hess remained imprisoned And the fascists; they were beat So the promise of an Aryan world Would never materialize So why did they all come out of the woodwork On the day the Nazi died The world is riddled with maggots The maggots are getting fat They're making a tasty meal of all The bosses and bureaucrats They're taking over the boardrooms And they're fat and full of pride And they all came out of the woodwork On the day the Nazi died So if you meet with these historians I'll tell you what to say Tell them that the Nazis Never really went away They're out there burning houses down And peddling racist lies And we'll never rest again... Until every Nazi dies...

It's not okay. We're moving in the wrong way. How do I let go. with no one to follow. Slow down. take a breath, and figure this one out. Ask yourself if this is what you want now. Everyday, you wake up with a choice. just make it past the noise. It's not okay We're moving in the wrong way How do I let go with no one to follow So what now? weak and afraid, our hearts are upside down we got drive, but can't commit..cuz we don't know how. On and on and on never gonna change. until we stand and say It's not okay We're moving in the wrong way How do I let go with no one to follow It's not okay We're moving in the wrong way I'll only let go if it's you that I follow

A vessel small, thirsts for cause, desperate to make sense of it all Call us pattern takers but rarely pattern breakers We outline, reify, models of the world in our mind Call us pattern makers but rarely pattern breakers Cause we try to deny the rocky foundation that makes up our lives Suspend doubt, we lash out and strengthen our zeal when we stamp out all who may try to undermine an order we know to be a divine design. A divine design. We’re all searching for some structure, shivering apes trying not to suffer Give us certainty and we will fall to our knees In the end that's all we're after, some foresight to avoid disasters Give us certainty and leave our poor minds at ease And with time some may find secular methods for drawing the lines Call us pattern makers, still rarely pattern breakers The experts preach, masses receive, from coats whose evidence few can perceive Still just pattern takers, we’re all pattern takers Cause few can understand the complexity and nuance but they stand And cast doubt or lash out at primitive thoughts they must stamp out Destroy the lure of theistic lore from an order we know be a tested design and proven design. We’re all searching for some structure, shivering apes trying not to suffer Give us certainty, and we will fall to our knees In the end that's all we're after, some foresight to avoid disasters Give us certainty and leave our poor minds at ease So we pound our chest Swear that we know best From the text we’ve read we’ve got it figured out But take a look around How should we feel now When we preach like them and we hate like them We’re all searching for some structure, shivering apes trying not to suffer Give us certainty and we will fall to our knees In the end that's all we're after, some foresight to avoid disasters Yeah, leave our poor minds at ease

We sit here and imagine a world so full of hope, but they said nope. They want us to have none, they want money and guns, they think they've figured out, what it's all about. 'Cause you're a racist prick, you're so fucking homophobic,you think transgender's a transmittable disease. When it comes time to pay the price, tell them it was you and not me. I sit and contemplate the world, I feel so alone as I bemoan The people that I see, they don't make sense to me. How can you be so horrible, and so incurable? 'Cause you're a goddamn prick, you're a misogynist, you think every woman is below you. That probably explains a lot, keep leaning on that excuse. 'Cause you're a fucking prick, you're such a hypocrite, you want everyone to think like you. Next time you think of speaking out, do us a favor, do not do.

Much worse things happen at sea. I don’t know what I was thinking Ain’t dying from dysentery. I have clean water for drinking The rats have yet to take over. Sirens don’t lure me to drown The seas remain calm, we sing our psalms So why’s our ship going down? Much worse things happen at sea, but we give these a wide berth No women, they’re unlucky. Can’t risk sailing off the earth And yet our captain’s a cad. Steers not with head, but with fist Solution I see is mutiny To wit, we all must resist So raise a glass for the ruling class Allowing us to sail Thank god for the land-owning, rich, white males Much worse things happen at sea. No chance the ship gets shanghaied We aren’t fighting off scurvy, or taking whips to our hides And yet, there’s pirates aboard, threatening to drive us aground We’re all bound to sink into the drink What they mean by trickle-down So lift your cup as we all drink up While tearing down the sails Thank god for the land-owning, rich, white males Much worse things happen at sea. I don’t know what I was thinking Ain’t dying from dysentery. I have clean water for drinking The rats have yet to take over. Sirens don’t lure me to drown The seas remain calm, we sing our psalms So why’s our ship going down?

V1: It feels like, we're all on fire An effigy, left in the pyre We won't regret it, if you'll admit it We won't regret it, when you, you row home Bridge: Row home, slow sure pulls home Row home, Chill V2: We're bound by blood, to make it clear We've all become, The ones we fear It feels synthetic, when you admit it We won't reject it, when you, you row home Row home, slow sure pulls home Row home, Chill We built this, then spilled it What's your name, sir We chilled it, then killed it, what's you're game, sir We built this, then chilled it What's your name, sir We killed it, then chilled it, what's your name Verse 1 repeat Bridge We built this, then spilled it What's your name, sir We chilled it, then killed it What's your game, sir We built this, then killed it What's your name, sir We chilled this, then spilled it, What's your game

Have you ever sat down and listened to the words that spew from your mouth... lame brained, dirty rat? I don’t know what you are doing... you can’t spread lies, and think that you are ruling! Don’t spread your hatred right next to me right next to me! X2 Can I be frank with you, since you’re being honest with me…? You’re nothing but a spoiled first world brat and you’ll go crying to mommy to save your ass from me! I can’t just sit here and teach you six centuries of history, but if you want I’ll do that too! if you cherish your own life let me suggest that you take this lesson extremely seriously!!!

about

Really? Science and technology has paved the way for 3D printed body parts, self-driving cars, and cute little vacuums that’ll clean your floor while you video-chat with your cousin who lives half-way across the world using a magical device in your hand, and we’re STILL dealing with Nazis? The election of Donald Trump in the USA brought fascism back into the mainstream with khaki-clad, tiki torch-carrying racists feeling once again empowered to spout words of hate and bigotry without much repercussion. After all, their supreme leader is literally trying to keep “bad hombres” out by building a wall and banning travel from “shithole” countries.

Protests and social media rants aside, we wanted to do something to let people know they are not alone in wanting to live on a peaceful planet where people treat each other with respect, common decency, and compassion, regardless of differences in heritage, beliefs, or culture. You know, the stuff we learned in kindergarten. So we put out a call to bands who wanted to help spread the message that there’s “no place for hate” in this brilliant and beautiful world anymore.

Hope you enjoy this compilation of songs against fascism.

Keep that head and fist raised high!
