through the best of times, through the worst of times. through nixon and through bush. pretty self explanatory do you remember '36, we went our separate ways, you fought for stalin and i fought for freedom. the spanish civil war, when the left was fighting against the fascists, and then the leftists started fighting between themselves. "you fought for Stalin" means that the other person was a communist (Stalin was the only country to help the left fight the fascists, even though Germany and Italy both helped the fascists) you believe in authority, and i believe in myself. i'm a molotov cocktail, you're the dom perignon. molotov cocktail=explosive made with gasoline and a wine bottle~he is a proletarian fighting for rights dom perignon=expensive wine~she is a member of the bourgeoisie, a rich liberal baby, what's that confused look in your eye? liberals and anarchists have a history of not understanding each other what i'm trying to say is that i'll burn down buildings whlie you sit on a shelf inside of them anarchists take direct action while liberals try to pass laws and reforms you call the cops on the looters and the pie-throwers. he is criticizing them for not being extreme enough they call it class war, i call you co-conspirators kind of like if youre not with us youre against us (Against Me!)(alright sorry bad pun) 'cuz baby, i'm an anarchist and you're a spineless liberal liberals arent extreme enough we marched together for the 8-hour day and held hands in the streets of seattle anarchists and liberals protesting at the WTO in 1999 but when it came time to throw bricks through that starbucks window you left me all alone anarchists started a riot at the protests, but the liberals stayed out of it you watched in awe at the red, white & blue on the 4th of july liberals are patriots but while those fireworks were exploding i was burning that fucker and stringing my black flag high black flag=anarchy eating the peanuts that the parties have tossed you liberals just take what the republicans and democrats give them in the back seat of your father's new ford rich liberals who dont work or know why people join the far left you believe in the ballot, you believe in reform faith in democracy you have faith in the elephant and jackass faith in the two party system (elephant=rep, jackass=donkey=dem) and to you solidarity is a four-letter word solidarity=swear we're all hypocrites, but you're a patriot. dunno what to say if you dont get that part you thought i was only joking when i was screaming, "kill whitey" at the top of my lungs white people have screwed the world at the cops in their cars and the men in their suits symbols of conformity, brutality and fascism no i won't take your hand and marry the state. fin |
