I won't fly your flag Won't die for your die your flag I will char that rag And its flames will light our way Ain't gonna follow these laws Ain't gonna follow them You can't do that to me Can't do that to my body You can't do that to my family But I think you wonder why Ain't gonna follow these laws Ain't gonna follow them Now its time to fly the black flag Anarchist open and proud Why don't children make the laws? They're the ones who have to live with the consequences Why do old men make the laws? They'll be dead before they matter

sometimes you must attack both the opponent and the argument you can't fight fascism without fighting fascists she can't be racist she said she's my sister wanna bomb it all to the ground oh what an argument we are past the post truth era where nothing is right some people are wrong call me a bully, call me a troll i'll tell em all you got so much hate i get more trouble for calling out racists than people get for being racist you can't fight fascism without fighting fascists she wants to make safe spaces for racists and pedophiles some people are wrong you say violence is part of the greater good but you're wrong they tell me they're not racist but they say 'keep on bombing for the greater good'

why don't we all plant some seeds? why don't we all plant our 1 2 3s? why don't we plant some food and quit our jobs? my goal is to retire as soon as i can get myself parts some land why do you go hungry when nature was built to feed you? we paved over nature and now it can't feed you in your directive tomes I roamed some parts remain unchanged disaster awaits but who knows? maybe you'll be the saviour let's grow some food and quit our jobs

the worst bullies are the ones who tell you they love you they expect the same, they expect adoration adoration they told me sticks and stones would break my bones but the name that hurt the worst was the one that they gave me stuck with it for life the worst bullies are the ones who tell you they love you...

come see me before you die We don't have to talk about you're suicide Come see me before you die We don't have to say goodbye I know one thing that's true Wish I spent more time with you One thing I know is true Some of the best parts of my life were spent with you If I never see you again At least I got your songs my friend Hear your words and empathize I hope the birds they take your eyes

we would have done it better but the fascists stole our insurrection the guards laid down their arms they're all in it together the fascists stole our insurrection in a peaceful mind-frame we might have proclaimed that rulers should serve the people not corporations and spite our insurrection was supposed to be storming the government for a peaceful dismantle of said government we don't need no government I thought I would love to see people storming the government but its hard to see when its fascists trying to keep a fascist in power they stole our insurrection

its not post-traumatic yet im still living with it everyday with all this white male privilege didn't seem right to complain so I never talked about it this is where repression has lead raised on shame and violence thought i was always guilty and wrong tried to drown it in alcohol took some drugs and wrote some songs I grew up and my search for peace Attracted more guilt violence and shame All this life excluded and bruised But they tell me I'm to blame
