we’re all enslaved by these masters
as they control, propagandize
and manipulate the masses
play on my insecurities
you will never get my soul
think of all we could have won
keep in mind of all they stole
I say burn the flags with flames of revolution
reversing their power is our solution
and with every barricade put aside we get a step closer
to take what belongs to us
history repeats again
yeah the same formula stays true
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
seems more like the pursuit of profit and self-interest
we’re pushed in the corner and there’s only one way to make it out of here:
revolution now!

open your eyes, don't believe what they say
we've all been brainwashed by the ones we've chosen to be our voice
we've been reversed
they made it seem that war is peace, fascism is freedom and job loss is prosperity
don't be hypnotized by all those false promises, think for yourself
don't be controlled by the ones who gain power to control us trough us
so much we don't know, so many secrets
we're tired of lies we want the truth

Burning Flags

I see you proudly waving your flag high.
I don’t get your reason so I ask you: “why?”
“it symbolizes my ideas” you said.
“the only good fascist is dead” is what I say when I hear your points of view.
we’re just not the same persons, I’m not like you.
And I would be burning flags if they weren’t so expensive.
I would turn your ideas to ashes, if I could just get the flames inside.
but you don’t seem to understand what I’ve said.
you still wave your flag high above your head.
I guess I can never change your mind.
you’re ignorant and you stare yourself blind.
hate based on color or sexuality,
have you forgotten about the white man’s history?
and I would be burning flags if they weren’t so expensive.
I would turn your ideas to ashes, if I could just get the flames inside.
burn it to the ground until there’s nothing left but dust.

destruction marks their path, wherever they have been
they got it all well covered but it’s the world we’re living in
the waste of every life and everything that’s in their way
is not remained unseen but we just ignore everything they do and say
some may think: “as long as we remain unharmed it’s ok to live in a lie”
open your eyes! children are working in inhuman condition, people die!
the third world is a playground for multinational companies
over there the battles continue, nobody’s respected, it’s all about money
they come around and pin us down with the power that’s in their hands
were locked behind these bars of ignorance and that’s a powerful fence
we don’t have to be afraid to stand up against these crimes
everywhere there are people who want to stand up but we’re running out of time
silent are these voices but united as one
this battle is not over yet, it has just begun
behind this pain and misery there’s prosperity that’s what we believe
so stand up, speak up, scream out loud: unity!

Intifada

bloodstains veil the asphalt, the road we once walked with still a future in sight, when we weren’t forgotten yet. rotting in unmarked graves, died with stones in our hands, outrages screaming the last words before blood filled our longs and guns silenced truth: the first casualty of every war is always the same.
your “holy land” is soiled with corpses and in the shadows of these empires we live under your oppression by the lines you draw, the borders you call your own.
and the little hope we’d left is buried under ashes of broken homes, collapsed under the pressure of the Zionist dream and bulldozers fueled by hatred. I spit on your wall like you kick in our face. every time I see your flag waving, it reminds me of the knife you planted in our backs when you drove us away.
we are refugees in our own home.
