about

This is a re-recorded version of this song originally released in January 2014.

lyrics

They can’t stop/the Old Dads ‘84/
or Los Chicas Mohicas/bustin’ down the door/
We’ve got our tools, and our zine archives/
Food in the fridge, a beater car to drive/

We cast our votes/at the town hall/
while the lobbyists lobby/right down the hall/
Trekked back to tract homes/from generations ago/
Sound-proofed the garage/X-City Rockers are go

[1-2-3-4!]
Kids today/don’t know what they’re in for/
when the moms and dads start bangin' out the chords/
This bloody mess - we pass it on to you/
So get wild in the streets -
but don’t drop out of school/

Tonight at 11 we ignore....
The Persons of Interest, Persons Unknown/
Faceless Mask, untraceable voice on the phone/
The drinking brigades, the conscientious rejectors/
Curmudgeons USA, or Utopia’s Defectors/
The Constitution’s Co-dependents/
The Bill of Right’s pill-popping enablers/
as well as the Magna Carta... Historical... Preservation... Society.
