And we are the point (don´t forget that)
Inner revolutions!
You´re not alone (we are the point)
We are the fucking point!
ROOM FOR RESPONSIBILITY
Get a babysitter for each gig
Go to work after the show
Face the reality and ask:
where do older punks go?
Is there room for
responsibility?!
But why should we work?
Why should we make babies?
Getting drunk in a squat
is a good definition of punk!
I wish I could stay young
and forever healthy
so I wouldn´t miss the frontline
when it is revolution´s time
Don´t get responsibilities
before you know what it means
you might drop out of everything
and get wiped out of the scene.
I am not going to stay young until I die
And I am not going to live forever
I am not going to live fast and die young
I am going to get old with pride!
Everlasting youth - the capitalist dream
Everlasting youth - is that your dream?
Subculture or counterculture?
Have you made your choice?
AFTERTHOUGHT
Shove your homophobia up your ass
racist jokes won´t make me laugh
fucking redneck with your sexist views
you always spoil my good moods
In the morning bus, in the city streets
they are everywhere the loudest geeks
You say I am having a bad day
but I have always felt this way
alienation every day
but I will make my existence clear!
In the morning bus, in the city streets
they are everywhere the loudest geeks
Afterthought:
I wish I had words and wisdom
in the right time and place
not afterwards when it´s too late
Always thinking "those stupid assholes"
when the only one is me
I didn´t open my mouth and fight stupidity.
MEN IN THEIR SUITS
How can you lose something that you have never had?
Can´t understand why it makes you feel so bad
If someone records a CD of your corporate product
it doesn´t mean he would have bought it from a shop
See how worried they are - men in their suits
if someone´s hobby is to copy everything new
Musicians fear they won´t get paid
but where´s the money that´s never been made?
We have never set a value to the music we make
if we´d done that, it would be a fucking fake
Have you ever heard of call for something;
doing things by the heart without asking
You can take away all the things that I own
but it would never stop me writing a song
Fuck your copyrights, fuck that elitist shit!
Music is free - don´t you try to value it.
LET IT COLLAPSE
Who´s sane in this world
when disability pension has become well-earned?
Do you have the strength to keep up facade?
C´mon, let it collapse and get your feet back on the ground.
We can keep our golden cages from cradle to grave
but what do we know about the bird´s nature
if the one´s never spread its wings?
TIMEBOMB
Time has no quality
Time has no price
You just have it or not
you can´t roll it with dice
It´s easy to find yourself
stuck on a one-way road
repeating "time is money"
losing all you loved
Time is not money
don´t pay me what we lost
generation without parents
lost in the shopping malls
WINDMILLS WITH BROKEN WINGS
Save your windmills for your coffin
The wind´s not blowing anymore!
Your wall of death has cracks already
Better step outside before it falls
Aggression towards ourselves
What a perfect way to act
Kill the spirit and innocent hopes
And we will stay forever where we are at.
How many times have I missed a great gig just trying to avoid your windmills.
Fuck your macho rituals. “Trash a bank if you got real balls” (Dead Kennedys)
I REFUSE!
I refuse to take a rifle in my hand
I refuse to be a puppet of your command
I refuse to dehumanize any nation
I refuse to believe your threat-visions
I refuse! I refuse!
Look at yourselves; pre-humans in uniforms
Shove your duties up your ass, you´re wasting my time!
In Finland we have drafts. About 90% of the male serve their armyservice and also increasing number of women do the same. This our opinion. None of us is available.
NEO-CLASSDIVISION
Classwar, Finland, 1918 - the rich against the poor
There are still veterans alive that witnessed it all
The poor were threat to the system, no matter what they thought
But the rulers need no reasons to break our doors
We go round and round in the same circles
We go round and round creating neo-classdivisions
Classwar, Finland, 2018 - the rich against the poor?
The war is coming with these politics. It can´t be stopped before
This Neo-classdivision comes to its end.
Leads us to the crash course, word ”enemy” tattooed on my head
Classwar, classwar - it happened before
they are leading us to the same fucking war
Classwar, classwar - they want the control
Control the unknown, increase the patrols
This song is originally from 1998, so there are not so many veterans alive anymore…
This is not a call to arms, this is reality. We were never asked to choose our side – they did it.
BURNING BRIDGES
Imperialism had a bad taste
We needed a hotter term
Globalization sounded more sexy
we wanted more bridges to burn
We want to dig the bottom
Drown deeper in the mud
No-one can save us anymore
No-one will see the sun
Flames burning higher
Corpses feeding fire.
MOREMOREMORE!
They want more profit - they kick you out
They want more profit - they want everyone out
Can´t afford welfare, can´t afford healthcare
That money is needed somewhere, where´s never ever enough
Humanity for sale; didn´t cost that much.
But what is more expensive? Where do they need so much?
EUROPEAN PIGS
Imagine them having two weeks off
Somewhere between flights home and Bangkok
There´s lounging at pool, getting drunk non-stop
Teenage company serving really cheap fuck
Decadent kings with their decadent views
Can´t do anything but abuse
without hangover they can´t even lose
if there´s nothing wrong, they didn´t choose
This is violence we don´t recognize
slavetrade in paradise.
If you want “free trade”, you want this too;
there are no rich without poor!
Childlabour, teenage sexslaves
Poverty and misery won´t go away
Just bother to think, and bother to act
European pigs - we should fight back!
“There was no moral questions to find answers to
There was no choices to be made
There was just me, money and my holiday”
NO REASONS
I hate it when you hide behind your religion
when we talk about right to choose;
choose to give up birth, choose to live,
choose to die and choose to think
I hate it when you hide behind superstition
when we talk about right to choose.
But the only choice you made
was to never choose again
No reasons, no thinking,
no more human being
I hate it when you hide behind your grace
when we talk about making change
ending pollution, ending war,
ending discrimination of the poor
I hate it when you hide behind your sophism
when we talk about making difference.
But the only difference you made
was arrogant smile on your face
there´s no need to pretend meek;
you are not so brilliant, you see.
DEPENDENT
Faceless corporations spreading like disease
Eating each other, piece by piece
Until there´s only one above us all
That pays our wages that we carry to their stores.
Do you believe in this system?
Amusement-addiction, non-stop faking;
the best friendship that money can buy.
Can you question it all - and ask yourself why?
Why do you want to sacrifice your own life?
We have been caught redhanded
eating each other dependent
cannibalism, mad cow disease
Q: dependent? A: dependent!
How many mad cows will make you doubt?
One hundred? One thousand?
One million? Extinction?
Can you question it all - and ask yourself why?
Why do you want to sacrifice your own life?
