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:
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

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

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
