Disoviet: Dead in the water You cracked the ice Drowned in a pool Of vulgar irony They came by the thousands Maddening energy All you gave them were slogans No substance to what you endorse The youth of this moment Can build revolution today You say "fuck the system" Then show us the way You agitate With no way forward No chance to start Eager minds rot Disoviet, Disoviet We need leaders Organizers Every fan a chance to build Make this a threat Capitalists kill Socialism can save If punk is a movement Get organized today

Fucked up in Philadelphia: High rent, bus fares, don't sleep on the Rocky stairs Love park, goth clubs, beware the cops with guns Pot holes, cracked bell, public schools asbestos hell Vegan cheesesteak, gas the kids that retaliate I got fucked up I got fucked up in Philadelphia West side, UPenn, classist gentrification Broad street, Gritty, among nation's poorest big cities Lead paint, Ben Frank, police will make prison your home Terminal market, 800 million racist budget I got fucked up I got fucked up in Philadelphia You may want to visit Philadelphia You may want to get fucked up too But parking costs a jawn-and-a-half When the police steal your car I got fucked up I got fucked up in Philadelphia

Awaken Colossus: Awaken Colossus Strike the beast Workers unite Production is ours Awaken, rise, unite, strike 100 years Forced slumber Awaken colossus Class war Awaken, rise, unite, strike Decades of struggle overdue Join a union or a socialist group Labor leaders bought by greed Youth must plant revolutionary seed Reform is dead a distant dream The Squad hears not the victims' screams It's up to us, awaken colossus To strike the blow against our bosses Shortened workweek shortened hours More to workers paid per hour More for healthcare, trans kids, abortion No more church and state distortion Fund the schools, mass transportation Obliterate incarceration From Philly round to Tokyo Awaken Colossus, workers revolt It's an uphill justice battle Take a side the rich or workers The ones that built society Or the ones funding war Awaken Colossus Awaken Colossus Awaken Colossus Awaken Colossus

Imperial Horrors: Unquantifiable destruction Beyond your control A thousand miles away In defense of your "freedom" Workers kill workers For nationalist cause Death toll in millions Over 200 years Imperial horrors Hell reigns supreme Imperial horrors Nuclear war machine Inevitable outcome Of capitalism Division of Earth Comes only through war Banks fund exploitation Cripple foreign nation Socialism is Workers salvation Imperial horrors Hell reigns supreme Imperial horrors Nuclear war machine An offshoot of monopolies They must find foreign market Pump exploited full of loans And make them buy their products They're not spreading democracy They're spreading servitude To siphon precious resources To make products to sell to you Imperial horrors Hell reigns supreme Imperial horrors Nuclear war machine

Lessons in Dialectics: Contradictions so vile Held up by the rich To push back their power We need working class movement Diversity of tactics Ineffective procedure We need democratic centralism And a party of leaders Historical, material Conditions make reality CMC and MCM Finance becomes a deity Sell your labor everyday Become wretched commodity Recognize your labor power Seize back all your dignity Lessons in dialectics Lessons in dialectics So you feel like a rebel With your anarchy sign In a month you haven't showered And you squat all the time I've got bad news, man You haven't done shit You're not fighting the system You're just a victim of it We didn't get he weekend From DIY shows Our wages never changed Because of your band's demo Bored of talking drugs In decrepit basement Reality blows Join a union and face it Lessons in dialectics Lessons in dialectics My politics are union-based I can get behind a strike Demands for better wages, hours Fuck the boss' dime You're calling yourself "woke" Because you're always voting blue Content to call for reform Because the cops ain't after you Rip away the veil Socialism is not a crime The moneyed all make propaganda To keep labor in line We need to start the discourse On founding a new party Because punk was bought and sold Before most of us were born
