Rise Against - Make It Stop (September's Children)
Rise Against - Make It Stop (September's Children)
Woah, woah. Bang bang go the coffin nails, like a breath exhaled, Then gone forever. It seems just like yesterday, how did I miss the red flag's raise? Think back, the days we left We braved these bitter storms together. And brought to his knees he cried, But on his feet he died. What God would damn a heart? And what God drove us apart? What God could... Make it stop, Let this end, Eighteen years pushed to the ledge. It's come to this, A weightless step, On the way down singing Woah, woah. Bang bang from the closet walls, The schoolhouse halls, The shotgun's loaded. Push me and I'll push back. I'm done asking, I demand. From a nation under God, I feel it's love like a cattle prod. I'm born free, but still they hate. I'm born me, no I can't change. It's always darkest just before the dawn. So stay awake with me, let's prove them wrong. Make it stop, Let this end, Eighteen years pushed to the ledge. It's come to this, A weightless step, On the way down singing Woah, woah. The cold river washed him away, But how could we forget? The gathering's hold candles, but not their tongues. And too much blood has flown from the wrists, Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss. Who will rise to stop the blood We're counting for, Insisting on, A different beat, yeah. A brand new song (Names called) Tyler Clementi, age 18 Billy Lucas, age 15 Harrison Chase Brown, age 15 Cody J. Barker, age 17 Seth Walsh, age 13 Make it stop. Make this end, This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin. And proud I stand, of who I am, I plan to go on living; Make it stop. Let this end, All these years pushed to the ledge. But proud I stand, of who I am, I plan to go on living. Actually almost all the rise against songs I love have deep meaning each and every word...that is why I love this freakin band cuz their songs really relate to me deeply  Rise Against ROCKS! \m/

AUS ROTTEN LYRICS
"The Dying And The Dead" Thiry thousand auto workers have gone to work to find That they've been downsized form the assembly to the unemployment line The employed seeking job security content with what employers give Thinning out the job market keeps the workers competitive The upper one percent receive the tax breaks, social program cut's commence Educational funds take a back seat to America's defense These education cuts are an investment in the prison industry An occupational restructuring towards a slave labor economy The chance of survival on death row disappears,theirright to appeal is deprived Worker strength and solidarity depletes with union officials bribed Raising taxes to build sports stadiums while the homeless are ignored Refusing to supply the health care benefits most people can't afford The newly founded citizen review boards' members are all police The gap widens between the cost of living and the inflation increase Those in power own the media machine it's the vehicle to their views They bury all of their corruption under fluff reported news They bombard us with statistics to influence public opinion The more ridiculous the lie the more people seem to listen It's the people with no money that are responsible for the rest of us being poor We'll just eliminate the welfare system to even up the score Our conditions never imporve no matter how many programs we stop The money always seems to circulate back to the people at the top The occasionl whining criticisms keep the public satisfied The rest are busy escaping reality with drugs the CIA supplied It's always the most oppressed who easily fall victim to ignorance Even with all that they've been through they still pledge allegiance To their country and flag that has caused all of their grievous pain Patriotism leads to natonalism which in turn proceeds to fascism Poor and working class people are the tools of sick corporate perseverance **** on little puppets exploited in the trials of human dominance But still the pride goes on blindly and in so-called freedom they gloat Waving the flag but cursing the politicians they think they elect when they vote Behind the trails of our peacekeepers lie the dying and the dead There are millions of starving chilren that are waiting to be fed Because executive orders demand that economic sanctions are applied If they'd have bowed down to our pressure, relief may have just arrived As the worlds only super power we rule without regret We don't let these children survive and grow up to be a threat Love of this country is based on nothing but the fear of living somewhere worse And gratitude shouldn't be the reaction to someone else being slaughtered first |

"Ex-Teenage Rebel" - This song has always made me think.- When I asked you to lend me a fiver You said you were already broke And when I explained you were living in chains You assumed it was some sort of joke You wanted a job and then got one And learned jokes about sex, Jews, and blacks Got married to help pay the mortgage Got wound up when you had to pay tax What happened to you with your ideas? What happened to all your hopes and fears? Ex-Teenage rebel- same old story When I asked you what you thought of the arms race Asking you whos gonna win? You remembered a man on the telly and said I agree with him You say everythings alright really You say that Im just paranoid You tell me its always been the same And theres some things I cannot avoid So what happened to your old opinions? The thoughts that you had for so long? That inspired a thousand rebellions Against what was and still is so wrong You tell me you used to be crazy And paranoid like I am now You soon realized There was no reason why So you gave up and soon settled down And I tell you that you are the problem Which is why you cant see it no more The strength of us all could demolish the wall But you chose to walk through the door Living a life of compromise What you re supporting is what you despised Was all that you said just a useful disguise? Or was it all just little white lies? Little white lies To help you survive Is there no guilt in your mind? Is there no guilt in your eyes? |

AUS ROTTEN LYRICS
"Xenophobia" Restricitng immigration won't solve this country's problems The refugees are only our leaders scapegoats Bigoted politicians claim that immigration is unemployment's source So the INS are given unending power to enforce The restrictions regulated by immigrants descendants Who project open border policies as national resentments Unwilling to provide the same opportunities they've been given To desperate refugees whose passage has been forbidden By a government who's often reponsible for their countries situation But they just intensify the suffering by restricting immigration Denying immigrants from crossing a line They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds Regardless of citizenship we're all the same No human is illegal like governments claim Exploiting foreign markets with capitalisms principles NAFTA was created to benefit the multinationals Big business cuts their expenses with their sweatshop wage Keeping foreign labor in an economical cage They've created the incentive to ship the jobs out of this country Making Americans more receptive to minimum wage and bigotry The government maintains approval when their fault remains concealed They'll just find another scapegoat after they pass the anti-immigration bill Denying immigrants from crossing a line They're closing the borders like they've closed their minds Regardless of citizenship we're all the same No human is illegal like the governments claim Creating xenophobia is another tactic in which our leaders have managed To redirect blame to someone other than themselves or big business The media lap up the reports of increasing poverty, unemployment, welfare and Government aid supposedly caused by refugees while largely ignoring the Countless reports of rapes, beating, and general harassment by the INS and US border patrols Not to mention American servicemen Actually crossing the Mexican border to rape women or New York police Officers gang raping a Haitian immigrant with a plunger These atrocities Occur because xenophobia has instilled the thinking that refugees are Problems and not people...Xenophobia kills Patriotism plants the seeds of ignorance and hate Destroying the people and all compassion to protect the state Every person is entitled to live, no human should be banned It only benefits the wealthy to own a piece of land It only divides the people by the borders, by the countries It's only another obstacle blocking any chance of equality We've got to smash their walls our efforts must persist We've got to wake the people up to see what they've dismissed People are not expendable, government is People are not expendable, government is People are not expendable, government is People are not expendable, government is |
