Unity! HA! yer such a saint today
you may be anti racist but then you're anti gay
you may be ignorant from a lack of education
but if it's sympathy you see you seek
you better turn to another station

* Intolerant society rears it's ugly face
you're turning your native music into a homophobic disgrace
the gay ones, the straight ones, the white tan yellow and black
gay rude boys and girls, we're gonna take that dancehall back
we'll take it back!
because without respect there's gonna be nothing left

This double standard just won't sit that well with me
i come to say this and it's just the way it has to be
you know i'm not PC i'll shoot your kid at school
'cuz he's gonna grow up to be a fucking asshole just like you
you can celebrate your unity till every gay is dead
but why don't you stop your fronting with real unity instead
and on a better dime on this shitty little globe
we would crucify the racists and be bashing all the homophobes

* Intolerant society rears it's ugly face
you're turning your hardcore music into a homophobic disgrace
the gay ones, the straight ones, the white tan yellow and black
gay rude boys and girls, we're gonna take that dancehall back
we'll take it back, we'll take it back
because without respect there's gonna be nothing left

2000 triple zero stand up and take a look around
this ignorant fucking shit shouldn't happen in any town
so come on leave the closet and on your way out grab a bat
cuz there's a battle to be fought and the prize is fucking phat
autonomy from ignorance there's got to be a better way
but the racist, sexist homophobes and piggies gotta pay
but right now you got to get out of your fucking seat
and jam down to the faggot rythm's of that crack rock steady beat

    General Comment:This song was written after the fued that Leftover Crack had with Hellcat Records (Tim Armstrong) over censorship issues. Leftover Crack wanted their 2001 debut album with Hellcat Records to be titled, "Shoot The Kids At School", with some controversial cover art. I think they wanted a gun pointed at a playground, or something in that nature. This was right after the Columbine HS Massacre, and Hellcat refused to allow it. So LoC titled their album Mediocre Generica in protest, as a veiled reference to what they viewed as the mediocrity of the bands on Hellcat's label. This is why Leftover Crack LEFT Hellcat Records. Leftover Crack repeteadly accused Hellcat Records of promoting sexism, and homophobia: Homophobic lyrics from U.S Bombs & Buju Banton, and the sexist lyrics & cover art from Lars Frederiksen & The Bastards. In this song, they are basically accusing the ska-punk scene & Tim Armstrong of promoting sexism & homophobia. The references to the Operation Ivy songs are pointing out that Tim Armstrong was supposedly for Unity and Anti-homophobic during OpIvy years, but now he is promoting homophobia... What the hell?

    My Opinion:There sure are lots of references to Op Ivy songs, but how come has no one pointed out that the verse parts of Op Ivy's Unity bear quite a clear resemblance to the verses of this song.

    General Comment:I find there's more contradiction in with people claiming their anti-fascist "you don't have to be like me, you're always free" attitudes, and then going to beat up emo or ghetto kids. Same idea. Gets me just as pissed off.
