1.
I know it can be hard to take a fucking stand / When the people talking shit are your family or friends / But I don't want you to think / That things are going to be okay / If when someone's spewing hatred / You just look the other way / Don't just stand there / Say something / If we all just got along / Yes that would be best / But surely you know that silence equals death / And it's gonna be a bittersweet I-fucking-told-you-so / When your precious scene is overrun with sexists, racists, homophobes / Don't just stand there, say something
2.
Going to a Casualties basement party / Time to take my studs down off the shelf / On my way to a Casualties basement party / Where the real casualty is punk itself / Let it die / At society and in defiance / I will always raise my fist / Eagerly embrace my role / As a fucking rape apologist / Punk without a feminist / Analysis, it don't mean shit / Maybe it's time that we part ways / See how fucking much we're missed / Argh
3.
This house is made of fruit flies / The foundation is made of shit / City wants us to address a nuissance / Not sure which one it is / Is it the furniture left on the lawn / From before we moved in / Or the windows / the slumlords never fixed? / You'll have to be more specific / Bodies covered in flies / Our dreams have turned to shit / City wants us to address a nuissance / Not sure which one it is / Is it the blood or syringes / That we found inside? / Or is it the trash heap in which we reside? / You'll have to be more specific
4.
Don't be an asshole
5.
In our halls of higher learning / Posters reading "fuck your turban" / What can we blame for this disgrace? / Fantasies of the master race / Nationalism breeds contempt and hatred / Fuck the values of the state
6.
Junk Mail 00:23
You say you don't want junk mail / But I see what you're getting / Magazines that sexualize guns / And objectify women / And I really don't think you need so many copies of / Canadian Country Cowboy / It's all junk, it's all junk, it's all junk
7.
Tusker III 00:09
I did not survive Tusker III / It was supposed to be a pig roast / But then they roasted me
8.
You voted for Kodos / I voted for Kang / Different platforms and promises / It all turned out the same / Forward, not backwards / It's a crying shame / 'Cause now I'm pointing fingers / Looking for someone else to blame / But don't dare blame me / I voted for Kodos / Twirling, twirling, twirling / But freedom never came / Twirling, twirling, twirling / But freedom never came
9.
Convoy of terror flees / You smile about judgement day / Wrath of God comes raining down / Loss of faith, we have to pay / Or maybe you just set your sights / On those forced to immigrate / Our policies leave no other way / Death, exploitation, and decay / Fort McMurray's burning to the ground / You're consumed by hate
