Vow

And now we feel let down



By the way you act

By the way you pose

Like you got something to say

But we hear hear nothing, fucking nothing at all

And still you stand on your stage

But what the fuck for?



Don't you know we want something more?

Born, raised to defy you: The proud and privileged to-know-nothing-fools

And their empty, hollow, religion of cool –

When there's a war of injustice and hurt out there:

The coward and cool sit back and block their ears

But I can't, I won't, play deaf to the sound

Of a culture with its head in the ground



No I won't stay down like a fallen tree

I won't stay down like you want me

I won't stay down cause I once vowed to be counted and stand the fuck up:



To blissful, ignorant fools

And to the sad, violent moronic thugs



But to my brothers & sisters dying to be free, and fellow seekers of substance & peace:

I won't play blind when I can see

I won't play dumb when I can think

I won't play quiet when I can speak truth:



To power that dumbs this down to a violent place

To power that can't hear me, I'll scream this in its fucking face:

Fooled, cheated, ripped off, no more, by your mainstream fake hardcore
