SEVEN DAYS OF SAMSARA

lyrics from the 7"s A NEW ANTHEM FOR THE T-SHIRT REVOLUTION
riot! just another fucking word meant to make us think were something more. more than just another punk band. more than just another pop fan. youd like to think so. we are all guilty. raise your banners and fly your flags. make sure we know where you stand. it is just a "reaction reaction reaction" to society from a community that wants to believe were so different from you. take a look at yourself to see what youve done to make this world a better place. nothing. have we done nothing? just take a look at the stickers and tshirts and patches that attempt to cover our state of inaction. the presses are busy, but the movement is dead. the movement is dead. (quote=akarso) WE WEAR THE TSHIRTS, SEW ON THE PATCHES, AND COVER OUR STUFF WITH THE STICKERS, BUT WHAT DOES THAT ACCOMPLISH? ANYONE CAN SEW ON A PATCH, BUT IT TAKES SOMEONE SPECIAL TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE. THINK OF THIS SONG AS A SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING. FROM FOOD NOT BOMBS TO THE FREE MUMIA MOVEMENT TO EVERYONE WHO WAS OUT GETTING ARRESTED IN SEATTLE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. MAYBE SOMEDAY WE WILL PICK UP THE SLACK (MYSELF INCLUDED).

BONES AND BLENDERS
there it is, you can see it, those are the teeth marks and i can blame no one but you for the brusies. what can be colder than snow? you are my mood swings. you are my ups and my downs. theyre black and theyre blue and theyre getting tighter and now you can not lift up your arms. in an attempt to better yourself you have cut out all the bones. my heart has found a new home. TEETH. BONES. BITING. CRUSHING. I DONT KNOW. MAYBE ITS TIME FOR YOU TO THINK FOR YOURSELF. WHAT DO THESE WORDS MEAN TO YOU?

THE TRUTH
question the answers that theyve forced down your throat for so fucking long. were not in kansas anymore. this problems too great to be ignored. bring it back to the monkey trial. youll make monkeys out of us all. what about the children? think about the children? i know youve said that before. youre the proof that some of us have evolved. you cant stop this wind from blowing. you cant stop this rain from falling. you cant stop this sun from rising. never stop attacking. an attack on everything you stand for. an attack on all that you believe. an attack for all those who will suffer. an attack against the knowledge thief. im not burning a cross. KANSAS NO LONGER REQUIRES THE TEACHING OF EVOLUTION IN SCHOOL. TEACHERS MAY STILL CHOOSE TO TEACH IT, BUT I GUESS CREATIONISM IS THE OFFICIAL STANCE OF THE STATE. THE FIRST TIME WE EVER PLAYED THIS SONG LIVE AN OLDER MAN WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM IN DISGUST AS I EXPLAINED THE LYRICS. I THINK HE TOOK IT AS AN ATTACK ON CHRISTIANITY OR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN CREATIONISM. IT ISNT. I JUST BELIEVE THAT THE STATE OF KANSAS AND THE KIDS WHO ARE BEING RAISED THERE ARE BEING CHEATED.
