lyrics

The real America has yet to exist
Calling out an S.O.S.
Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist
Calling out an S.O.S. Here we go!

Bright lights
The latest fashion
A call to arms or a call to action?
I need a rush, I’m feelin’ dangerous
I’m waking up and the world’s turned its back on us

(on the edge of a knife) Calling out for a new world order
(on the edge of a knife) One without all the law and disorder
(on the edge of a knife democracy is standing)

The real America has yet to exist
Calling out an S.O.S.
Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist
Calling out an S.O.S. Here we go!

A lost cause without all benefits
We’re tossed aside with all the risk and all the rejects
The same old song
The same old story
Go take your place with all the filth and all the fury

(on the edge of a knife) Calling out for a new world order
(on the edge of a knife) One without all the law and disorder

The real America has yet to exist
Calling out an S.O.S.
Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist
Calling out an S.O.S. Here we go!

So break these chains of bondage
Burning fires of our discontent
Our lives are only transformation and trust
To build nations beyond degradation of all
Exploitation, no country to fall beneath this theater
What parts of this story are real and that we should save?
Justice for every soul, every unmarked grave in the…
(**lyrics by Thomas Barnett)

Real America has yet to exist
Calling out an S.O.S.

The real America has yet to exist
Calling out an S.O.S.
Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist
Calling out an S.O.S.

Brothers and sisters it’s time to resist
Calling out an S.O.S.
We’re calling out an S.O.S.
Here we go!

IT’S TIME FOR US TO TAKE CONTROL!

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit alienasu
