Agnostic Front - Public Assistance Lyrics






You spend your life on welfare lines
Or looking for handouts
Why don't you go find a job
You birth more kids to up your checks
So you can buy more drugs
Cash in food stamps and get drunk

Uncle Sam takes half my pay
So you can live for free
I got a family and bills to pay
No one hands money to me

You can go to school for nothing
Got that government grant
Get money in advance
When you're sick from shooting up
Medicaid pays full portion
When little Maria gets knocked up
She gets a free abortion

Uncle Sam takes half my pay
So you can live for free
I got a family and bills to pay
No one hands money to me

How come it's minorities who cry
Things are too tough
On TV with their gold chains
Claim they don't have enough
I say make them clean the sewers
Don't take no resistance
If they don't like it go to hell
And cut their public assistance

    Righteous

  8. A.... W....

    Jello Biafra condemned the song. Oh noes! Imagine being a punk who believes that government is good, that we should only say nice things to each other, and that all other non-conforming / politically incorrect ideas and sentiments should be relegated to censorship. And yet, apparently, that's where we're at. Punk is dead.

    A.... W....

    Also, Peter Steele was a fucking legend.

    A.... W....

    Andy Witmyer i got so dissapointed with Biafra statements,i thought he was a real punk guy,now i understand that he was Just trying to be “politicaly correct”...such and asshole!!!
    Take no resistance and cut their public assistance!

  9. -.... ....

    this should be Trumps theme song

    This and I feel your pain (original) by suicidal

    RIP Pete

  11. r.... r....

    lol this song triggered jello biafra

    r.... r....

    Jello was basically just a new waver tho

  12. B.... ....

    Song written by Peter steel of type of negative

    B.... ....

    Is that true?

    B.... ....

    Only the lyrics.

    B.... ....

    @bronsonlee777 he was in Carnivore at the time, NYHC!

  13. P.... B....

    You guys do know that most people on welfare only stay on it for a short while until they get their life together, right? This song isn't for them, its for those who abuse the system, that's the problem, and in reality its a pretty insignificant problem considering welfare as a WHOLE, including disability or whatever, is 5% of our taxes.

    Those are just facts though, so yeah...

    P.... B....

    Sounds like someone is cope-posting hard.

    P.... B....

    I'd love to see stats on that. The system is abused horribly. More kids equals a raise. There's a small amount of proud people who don't want help unless absolutely necessary. Unemployment is short term and not parasitic, but food stamps, housing assistance, Medicaid, etc are not so short term.

    P.... B....

    Lmfao
    🙊 Stay on welfare for life

  14. D.... D....

    If you feel like an agnostic mind or band, then walk your line, live freedom as to share in humanity & don't pretend to regression...

  15. S.... M....

    You spend your life on welfare lines
    Or looking for handouts
    Why don't you go find a job
    You birth more kids to up your checks
    So you can buy more drugs
    Cash in food stamps and get drunk

    [Chorus:]
    Uncle Sam takes half my pay
    So you can live for free
    I got a family and bills to pay
    No one hands money to me
    You can go to school for nothing
    Got that government grant
    Get money in advance
    When you're sick from shooting up
    Medicaid pays full portion
    When little Maria gets knocked up
    She gets a free abortion

    [Chorus]

    How come it's minorities who cry
    Things are too tough

  16. M.... V....

    My brother hates welfare. after he subsisted on it for years until he joined a union which protected the lazy. My sister is mentally disabled and I can see the need for welfare. I can also see the need to cull the leeches.

    M.... V....

    The union is welfare for whites. Literally get paid to do nothing, get yelled at for working too hard cause you "make the other guys look bad". Had to get the fuck out.

  17. M.... J....

    This is not a racist song it's just the god damn f%$&#$g truth!!

    M.... J....

    Facts are racist.

  18. J.... N....

    You people whine too much. Don't you fucks know that Peter Steele wrote this? The same guy who sang and wrote lyrics for Carnivore and Type O Negative? He was well known for his humorous, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Taken at face value, even I don't really agree with the lyrics of the song. Most jobs today suck, and I can understand why people don't want to do them. But knowing that this was written by the same person who wrote songs called "Jesus Hitler", and "Kill All The White People" (both songs exactly about what you'd think), I can't help but think this is just another example of what Peter Steele did best: giving the middle finger to all of the sensitive pussies. It's a rare talent to be able to create art that gets on the nerves of both the left and the right.

  19. P.... p....

    This isn't conservative it's libertarian

    P.... p....

    "Punk is right wing" Johnny Ramone.

    P.... p....

    Or is it, I dare say, National Socialist? "Minorities" is usually a term for non-Whites living within White nations, even though White people are a global minority of being only roughly 8% of the global population. So who's a real minority?
    If this song came out nowadays, practically everyone who believes in "diversity" and "multiculturalism" would label this a "Notsee" (National Socialist) song. Ha, they certainly haven't listened to Skrewdriver! My, how things have changed for the worse since 1986. The "diversity" problem has gotten much worse since then. And I'm not expecting jew Zionist Trump or any part of the Jew SA corporate government to make it better, but only make it ever worse.

    P.... p....

    @Raising Sun well said bro

  20. P.... ....

    To all the Liberals whining down in the comments: Shut the fuck up, Punk doesn't have to be about Communism and Anarchy.
    Call me a poser if you like but remember, your "punk" political views are pushed by everyone right now. Expect Conservative and Libertarian punk. Fuck your authority.

  21. P.... P....

    2:01 Fuck yeah!!

  22. B.... C....

    Libertycore.

  23. M.... J....

    this is not a racist song. it's just the goddamn f*****g truth

  24. M.... J....

    make em clean the sewers!

  25. E.... O....

    Smokin' song, but bad vocals, IMO. No aggression.

    E.... O....

    Listen to the Live At CBGB's version, that album sounds a lot better than Cause For Alarm.

    E.... O....

    He was sick and voice went during recording apparently

  26. U.... E....

    Gavin McKinnes brought me here

    U.... E....

    Heck no, not that "anti-Nazi" race-mixing jackass. Who shoves a black dildo in their ass while being filmed on their talk show?! Gavin and his homosexual, woman-hating, jew-loving, kosher "nationalist" Proud Boys love wasting their time and making a spectacle for the masses of asses fighting Antifa. I hate Antifa as much as anyone, but I'm not going to pick a fight with such pathetic retards. I almost feel bad for them and they're hardly a threat compared to the bankers, politicans, and media (mainly jews) behind them. Gavin and his Proud Boys probably have the same jewish backers. Yet, Antifa calls him and the Proud Boys "Notsess" (National Socialists). It's so stupid it would be laughable if so many lemmings didn't buy into the jewish dialectic BS.

  27. R.... A....

    conservatism desperately needs to make a comeback in hardcore

    R.... A....

    Radical Anti Globalist yes!

    R.... A....

    Commies and their sympathizers got the shit overrun with "nazi" witch hunters who see anyone with opinions that lean to the right of establishment Democrat as the boogeyman. Conservatism, libertarianism, and nationalism need to come back to punk, skinhead, and hardcore with fist swinging as far left as they can.

    R.... A....

    It's on the way

    R.... A....

    Andy Curry That shit is on fucking point. Nice.

    R.... A....

    Go listen to skrewdriver and fuck off. Conservatism is full of dudes with terminal small dick syndrome.

  28. H.... U....

  29. S.... ....

    This is reality

  30. s.... s....

    Whether you like it or not there was a time that the youth was able to express their views without the fear of the political correct thought police.And they were not afraid to hang out with the 'evil' ones.Noone can change the facts.Even if the same people nowadays try to convince everyone that they didn't mean it,they meant something else etc...

    s.... s....

    still standing that's not fully true. This band was not welcomed by their own scene being labeled as a "far right extremist" when all they have done is question the status quo, which is more punk rock than any of these brainwashed leftists will ever be.

    s.... s....

    But thats exactly what I say.The thing is that back then all these youngsters didn't feel the need to apologize to any "anti-whatever" poser for their beliefs and their doubts.even if these doubts were about issues considered as taboo.and lets be honest.this "far right extremist" stance was a part of the scene.the biggest names of this era had strong links and participated in various more radical happenings.its sad that most of them try to deny these facts nowadays.i'm not claiming that they were all white power supporters but they surely didnt have a problem,they were patriotic and anti-red.whats the point on denying this?are these leftist wankers so strong nowadays that they can bully whoever they want?

    s.... s....

    Any band that put out a song with these lyrics today would have bands refusing to tour with them, sympathizers refusing to listen to them, and venues refusing to host them.

    Look at any band these days that someone even alleges committed sexual assault, they pretty much get run out of the scene and forced to break up, even if they're unsubstantiated rumors. Look at cam from sorority noise. I'm not big on the band, but I know the dude, and I know the girl (ex-dude) that called him out. There's no way the story is true, but the band had to break up due to the controversy anyways.

  31. J.... C....

    They should dedicate this song to Bernie Sanders.

    J.... C....

    too bad they were libertarians who leaned to the right. lol

    J.... C....

    Bryce Willis too bad? Why

    J.... C....

    I dedicate my nuts to your mouth...

  32. X.... ....

    Best lyrics ever written

  33. S.... ....

    I made theses comments a long time ago. Although I still don't like this song, all the other songs on this album are good.

    S.... ....

    Skullsplitter this song is awesome as well including the lyrics.

    S.... ....

    hang the leeches that get free handouts

  34. D.... F....

    Roger Miret obviously had nothing to do with the writing of this song, it was all Carnivore-era Peter Steele.

    D.... F....

    He agreed with them though, check out the version on Live at CBGB's. The original one.

    D.... F....

    I don't really understand your point. AF has always owned this song with no fucking apologies. Who cares that Pete Steele wrote the lyrics?

    D.... F....

    Doesn’t matter, the band defended it and still does to this day. Stigma and Roger actually appeared on Donahue defending it.

    D.... F....

    @Jackets On Fire Roger spent a few years of his youth on welfare programs. His reasoning for recording this song was because of the abuse he saw with some people on it.

  35. t.... ....

    bet you everyone of these meatheads have been on public assistance.

    t.... ....

    The fuck are you talking about? Can't handle the fact that AF went crossover? Something tells me that you're about 20 and haven't had a real job yet. Something tells me that one day reality is gonna slap you in the fucking face and make you wake up to the fact that you take on a damn adult responsibility.

    t.... ....

    @FoldingChairSA  something tells me you're an idiot. 

    t.... ....

    @tomitstube
    Wow, what damning proof that sentence, put forward.

    t.... ....

    tomitstube No. bad troll

  36. S.... ....

    Oh yea and Leftover Crack is significantly more Punk than these guys.  

    S.... ....

    Leftover Crack are a base-level Rancid ripoff with obnoxiously reactionary pseudo anarchist lyrics written to appeal to 14 year olds who've just realized they're too "Punk" for Green Day. I saw them in a basement years ago and their lead singer threw a hissy fit because people kept bumping into him and mid set went out to his van and started playing on his Macbook. Fucking PUNK!!! I'm not the biggest Agnostic Front fan, but are you fucking kidding me? People aren't going to be looking back at Leftover Crack's influence in 30 years that's for sure.

    S.... ....

    Skullsplitter definitely not lol. Leftöver Crack is the Green Day of crust punks.

    S.... ....

    So if a band isn't left wing, it isn't punk?

    I suppose that makes sense. I mean it's not like Johnny Ramone was a Reagan supporter or anything.

    S.... ....

    Leftover crap, bunch of smelly leftist bums

  37. S.... ....

    And this is the biggest problem I have with NYHC, way to many conservative bands.  NYHC needs more Anarchist bands.  This is why bands like Discharge, Crude SS, Crass, MDC, DRI, Subhumans, Anti Climax etc will always be better than Agnostic Front and Warzone.  Sorry but those bands are good musically but blow lyrically.  But to be fair, Sick of it All and Cro Mags have pretty good lyrics.  

    S.... ....

    Carter Beckwith liberal...punks.....god it's so hilarious when people without a clue try to speak

    S.... ....

    Left right left right left right, give me a break!

    I don't need to be a right-wing guy to love firearms, enjoy political incorrectness and then freedom of speech (for everyone) and neither I need to be a leftist to say that corporatism is bullshit, governments can eat shit and wanting to wipe my ass with an american flag (or any other country's flag).

    My point is: why can't we just all have our own beliefs instead of conforming to any of these "predominant models", if you know you don't fully agree with the ideas behind?

    S.... ....

    All you hippies better start to face reality. All your far fetched dreams of anarchy.better start to see things the way they are. The way things are going they won't be going far

    S.... ....

    *Communist Black Metal

  38. L.... ....

    great lyrics

    L.... ....

    @LSDizzys  ooh good one.

    L.... ....

    +tomitstube Socialism is force. Democracy is force. Taxation is theft. Deal with it.

    L.... ....

    @State Shredder and you're a brain washed dupe for the autocrats, go fetch some water boy, their race horses need a drink.

    L.... ....

    Can you post the lyrics?

    L.... ....

    Peter steel of type of negative wrote the lyrics while in his band called carnivore. That's my history lesson for you all.

  39. 1.... ....

    Crossover goodness

  40. D.... P....

    Awesome
