lyrics

My ass, it's the part of the body where they stick it in
Becasue you're crass, you mother fucker
And that's the name of the game you’re in
Manifest destiny, cultural hegemony
Music labels are the real fucking enemy
Filled with more shit than President Bush
Bands are like heroin corporations push

This ain't a band it's a fucking revolution
It's time for punk rock to enter evolution
We're not getting laid, paid so we don't give a damn
We're in it for life and this shit ain't a scam
Your scene is a fraud, just to make a buck
Emo or hardcore - we don't give a mother fuck
An open ended forum for whoever can fit in
But what you do to these children it's a fucking sin

We're the anti of everything that you're pro
And I didn't go to far cuz I didn't even go
Why build a venue when I can build a bomb?
Why buy your CD when I can fuck your mom?
Should I: update my Livejournal or set something on fire?
I’m in this to be honest but you're a fucking liar
Why buy an I pod when you can steal one for free
You like Modest Mouse I like Oswald, Harvey Lee
(Editors note: sorry for the rhyme)

You want the money it's a scam
You name a price but we're not for sale

Kill whitey!!
The white man is the fucking problem
His goal in life is all that he can steal
Selling image to ignorant children
Let's replace hype with something you can feel
It's no different from when they stole America
Pushed all the Indians into the sea
Imperialism: it's a fucking cancer
Maiming and destroying all that it can see
But how can we conquer more than just resources?
We’ve got to conquer their hearts and minds too
So drop the hype and drop your pretensions
Think your own thoughts and here's what we'll do
(chorus)
Manifest destiny, cultural hegemony
Music labels are the real fucking enemy
Filled with more shit than President Bush
Bands are like heroin corporations push
But how can we conquer more than just resources?
We’ve got to conquer their hearts and minds too
So drop the hype and drop your pretensions
Think your own thoughts and here's what we'll do
(chorus)
