It's not 1969 anymore
It's not 1978 anymore
We can't make excuses anymore
My world's on fire, how's yours?
And I fall down
Those goddamn yuppies got their way
And here we go
We march to the edge
We stand over the fires of the earth
And this is not the real end
So here we go here we go here we go
Come on now
We've been exploited
And that hasn't changed
And what we aim for
Is our ancestors to feel ashamed
And here we go
We march to the edge
We stand over the fires of the earth
And this is not the real end
So here we go here we go here we go
Come on now
It's not 1969 anymore
It's not 1978 anymore
We can't make excuses anymore
My world's on fire how's yours?
The people united will never be defeated

Running Song

There's a sweetness in the air
As we walk hand in hand
The car is driving so fast
Coming up behind
The sirens bounce off
The sidewalk and the sky
But we don't care
That there's nowhere to go
They'll never catch us
Here we go
We're running so fast
For the light, for the light
We don't care
We're just here
For the fight, for the fight
The fight of our lives
A day has passed
And we're still on the run
Hiding out under the bridge
From the law
And when the night comes
We'll hear the sky light up
With the sounds of the ones
Who won't find us
They'll never find us
Here we go
We're running so fast
For the light, for the light
We don't care
We're just here
For the fight, for the fight
Here we go
We're running so fast
For the light, for the light
We don't care
We're just here
For the fight, for the fight
The fight of our lives

Take My Fire

Take the road
To the top
Between the mountains
The forest fires
The forest
Take my fire
Feel my fire
Take my fire
Feel my fire
Take my fire
Feel my fire
Take my fire
Feel my fire
It's glorious
This sunrise
And this time
I feel the snow fall
Through the trees
Take my fire
Feel my fire
Take my fire
Feel my fire
Take my fire
Feel my fire
Take my fire
Feel my fire

These Chains

Hey
Come on
Hey
Come on
Hey
Come on
Hey
Come on
I hear the messages on the radio
The planet spin round and round in my brain
I hear the messages on the radio
It's time to break free from these chains
Hey
Come on
Hey
Come on
Hey
Come on
Hey
Come on
I hear the messages on the radio
The planet spin round and round in my brain
I hear the messages on the radio
It's time to break free from our chains
There's only one thing that I can see
That's persistent and unending inequality
I see the foot soldiers of the powerful elite
Destroying lives and taking everything until their mission's complete

Workers Unite!

Who's taking the bread out of your hands?
Makes you look up to them and call them the man
Who owns the things that you do?
It isn't me and I'm sure it's not you
We're beaten we're broken
We're beaten it's broken
We're beaten we're broken
We're beaten it's broken
Count up your riches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
You're just a slave in someone else's heaven
You don't need permission to listen to me
You should be able to do what you need to do to feel free
We're beaten we're broken
We're beaten it's broken
We're beaten we're broken
We're beaten it's broken

Lonely day
Lonely way
I don't know why
I've come to stay
Make it real
Make me feel
There's nothing wrong with me
I can't believe it's come to this
It's come to this
No words
I've got a point to make and I can't quite get it out
My mind is caught in this impossible feeling
When you walk away from this life
There's nothing left to say I tried
I've tried all I can
There are no words
Nothing to do or say
I've got a point to make and I can't quite get it out
My mind is caught in this impossible feeling
When you come again tomorrow
Will you bring all I need?
When you come again tomorrow
Will you bring all I need?
Take a look outside
See what's become of this
The world we knew
And all that's left of it
I've got a point to make and I can't quite get it out
My mind is caught in this impossible feeling
When you come again tomorrow
Will you bring all I need?
When you come again tomorrow
Will you bring all I need?

Into Space and Beyond
03:00

I have to leave you said
I want you to come with me
I need you to understand
This compulsion to flee
I opened my heart you said
And made room for you
A place to lay your head
Until all this is through
We will wander the trails you said
The forest will be our home
With no people around
It is safe to roam
I was lost in the stars you said
As I fell asleep last night
I need you to stay with me
Through the dark and through the light

Coast To Coast
05:11
|

I'm walking down the streets
From Saskatoon to Halifax
I can see what's going on
And I can hear the lies
New times should be coming around
From the coast to the coast
And when the powerful try to take our lives
It's still in our hands
This time has shone a light
On the raw deal for the working class
From doctors to warehouse hands
We're taken for granted
THere's no time for us to wait
For the news man to change our mind
We know what's been happening
It's time to stand up for our kind
New times should be coming around
From the coast to the coast
And when the powerful try to take our lives
They're still in our hands
From the mountains to the prairies
From Toronto out to sea
There's enough of us to change
And us the power we can't see
We've got to get organized
And work it out for ourselves
We can't wait for the politicians
We can't wait for the world to change
New times should be coming around
From the coast to the coast
And when the powerful try to take our lives
They're still in our hands
Well it's pretty clear this song has a point of view
And that there's a story that I'm trying to tell
Give it a chance give it a listen and see what you think
Maybe you'll like to buy what what it is that I want to sell
See if you ever wondered why you are stuck in your life
Or why it seems impossible to ever get ahead
You could blame yourself you could get down on what you've done
Or you could take a little moment look around and think deep inside your head
Maybe it's not your fault
Maybe it's just a fucked up world
New times should be coming around
From the coast to the coast
And when the powerful try to take our lives
They're still in our hands
New times should be coming around
From the coast to the coast
And when the powerful try to take our lives
They're still in our hands

The Soviet Influence Limehouse, Ontario
What do you get when you mix two ounces of Joe Strummer-like political anger topped off with the guitar tones of Johnny Marr? The Soviet Influence: a socialist alt-rock trio that appeal to nostalgic listeners while refusing to become stale, combining 60s-era protest themes with the post punk, new wave and modern styles of the everchanging indie rock genre. ... more
