Anti-Flag - Finish What We Started Lyrics

this song advocates for cultural revolution lol

Fuuuuccckkkk Gun Control !!! Fuuuuccckkkk LGBT!!!! Racism sucks!! StayArmedStayVigilantStaySafe StandStrong!!! Bringitninja....

Everybody just wants to fucking breathe
Nobody can, and everybody believes
We will just breathe later and they won't die
But truthfully they were never alive
To question the society you live in
You gotta call yourself in question
To question the answers you're given
You gotta call yourself in question
Because a cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
We don't need a world where a guarantee
A starvation death, impossibility
In every home a new car, a new TV
Bringing the risk of dying of boredom
To question the society you live in
You gotta call yourself in question
To question the answers you're given
You gotta call yourself in question
Because a cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
Only hope comes from the hopeless
Only soul comes from the soulless

seeing someone from the other end of the world with a st. pauli shirt is weird, but cool. I just discoverd you still rock. :) Greetings from germany, and thanks for all the good the music and moments.

Love how this album sounds it's awesome. rock on and tell the truth fucking brilliant

Lyrics:

Everyone just wants to fucking breathe

Only hope comes from the hopeless
Only soul comes from the soulless

Little bit of a Choking Victim style.

I wish you could fond bands like this in my generation :(

Man... Lost your edge fellas. Sounds like Blink. Too many soy lattes.

The kindness and community spirit I've experienced at punk rock shows especially Anti Flag shows, gave me the motivation to look after my own mental health and accept who I am and also be more kind and understanding to other people. Thanks Anti Flag

That's awesome, it's really great that there's a positive community, especially one that encourages people to look after they're mental health

Same since discovering punk again I've found a couple really good friends and am much happier

From the top now
Okay

Alright

Everyone just wants to fucking breathe
Nobody can, and everyone believes
We will breathe later and they won't die
But truthfully they were never alive

To question the society you live in
You gotta call yourself in question
To question the answers you're given
You gotta call yourself in question

Because a cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started

We don't need a world where a guarantee
A starvation death, impossibility
In every home a new car, a new TV
Bringing the risk of dying of boredom

We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started
A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started

We're gonna finish what we started
We're gonna finish what we started
Only hope comes from the hopeless
We're gonna finish what we started
Only soul comes from the soulless

Because a cop lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started

A boss lives inside of all our heads
We're gonna kill him dead, we're gonna finish what we started

We're gonna finish what we started
We're gonna finish what we started

>kill cops
>oh please take away our guns

Pick one Anti-Flag

Valid. Liberals be like "ACAB! The justice system is corrupt, racist, and classist!" But also, "yay gun control! Only our racist, classist, jackbooted thug cops should have guns! Maybe if we roll over and show our bellies, they'll stop killing anyone who makes them uncomfortable!" Nah. Don't talk to me about anarchism if you don't own a gun.

Daniel Newman Exactly! Everyone should have the right to defend themselves against opression. If you support gun control you should support disarming the police as well.

Ati-flag, you don't mean anti the American flag? Riiiiiiiiiiight?!?!?!

These guys can do no wrong.

Anti every flag mother fuckers!

@Brad Hedges what about pride flags

I am a woman and love punk music. This is a real moment of happiness to listen to bands like anti-flag, who supports women fighting for their rights. Thank you for this :) And for all your support to every population who is discriminated

Same except as a trans person

God bless and protect the 2nd amendment.

Let's go finish what we stardet

I really like the music, but some of the messages in the vid are just wrong or lack important purpose... Who cares about illegal immigrants for example? They came by disobeying the law of a sovereign nation, how they deserve any special treatment from the citizens of such nation?

I dont think the united states of america is in a position to cry about laws considering it breaks them regularly, not only that but immigration, both legal and illegal benefits the economy, the only drain is the amount of resources spent to round them up in literal concentration camps, if we nationalize these people, that is to make them citizens, we would reap all of the reward with none of the draw back, also you should care for them because they're human beings.

thank you, anti-flag, for helping to bring "inconvenient" truths to out attention! you guys rock!

Thank you Anti-Flag for including facts about LGBT people in this! You guys rock! Keep making great music!

Why would you write.. we are going to kill a cop and kill a boss..? I could get behind some of what you guys were standing for but those lines just ruined it for me..

1. cops murder innocent people and serve a racist/oppressive system
2. bosses are the people who these cops serve,
secondly he said "a cop lives inside of our heads we're gonna kill em dead" he meant killing the internalized bourgeois attitude that is driven into our heads.

one of the best songs in this album <3

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha

This album doesn't have any bad songs. Everything is good. I've loved this band from the beginning and I love them more and more all the time. <3

I miss the old not liberal anti flag

Come to ankara turkey

Come to the Moscow please

Come to the Moscow please

This album sounds more like Rancid than Rancid does now.

This is the funnest (lightest) song I've heard from them to date? Poignant message as always. Love these guys so much.

ssarah spazs house destruction party (i believe its still their only "fun" "nonsense" song)

Copia pirata de green day

I don't agree with the things they say but the music is damn fucking good.

ANTI FLAG FOREVER

when did Anti-Flag became New Found Glory? lol 1:49 love the song though

Blink182letraslive Cause with the time they take inspiration by Green Day and they are pop punk more or less now.
But always a fucking good band of course! 👍😎

Amazing! I love this song...

AWESOME!!! you're the best!!! Always!! <3 thank you <3 lots of love from italy!

Use to love this band but as I have grown I see how biased they are. Appreciate what they try to do. I recognize now how they have failed. Shame on them they have become a parody of themselves. They simply hate without even trying to get the truth.

Toxic Todd...they hate without even trying to get the truth...based on what? Also what makes them biased and how did they fail. Maybe it is you the listener that is the problem, not the band.

Jason - are you globalist? Or nationalist??

Auntie Semitic extremists?! They're social Democrats. That is the centrist position to take in the West today. The only country not like that is the backwards US.

theyve always been like this numb nuts

@Auntie Semitic nazi shit

That bass tone is juicy

this is the most god awful music i have ever heard in my entire life

You guys always been on my playlists since the nra album!
Hey! Thx! Finish it up!

привет из РОССИИ!!!!

Флаги рулят!!

I had a madden game with anti flag on it. Everyone sells out. Grow up

Lol yeah why would illegal immigrants be arrested. How dare we arrest those who break the law!

So how exactly do you plan on knowing which men have previously participated in stoning of women, for example? Or raped a child, or murdered someone?

Are you going to sit them down with a cup of tea and ask them if they have broken any laws?

Libtard logic. Sorry commies - but it's good night for you soon. National socialism is coming. Stand in the way, and you will be deported to these nations which these invaders come from. Afterall, they need some diversity too, right!? ;-)

Marxist, faggot fuck.

Auntie Semitic I’m not even liberal. I’m a republican. I’m also not a Nazi. Plus almost every country has rapist, and religious extremist. How do we differentiate with them? And when everyone goes back to their countries does that include the Europeans?

Auntie Semitic plus national socialism is much closer to communism then anything.

Auntie Semitic Auntie Semitic oh I am fully aware of what they are. I am also aware of what America is. For all of that wealth and love look how they ended up. Look how we ended up. We are the richest most powerful country in the history of mankind. Look at what we have accomplished with our democracy and capitalism. I’m not consuming liberal propaganda, I’m just not openly racist like you are. Oh and about “my people”. I consider myself American. Not black white or anything. Socialism never works in the end. Don’t act like Germany wanted peace. They wanted land and power. I don’t blame them they were astonishing militarily. Muslims are a very explosive people definitely . It is still unconstitutional to rule them out on the basis of race. That’s the argument. Is it constitutional.

Auntie Semitic oh and the pride and happiness is from those who were not purged. Do you believe in exterminating people based upon their race? Their color and creed? Is that how you judge people? Just curios

Bunch of brainwashed fuck liberals

Wow. People actually listen to this.

Ah yes, take away the peoples only means to self-defense. To a communist dictatorship, one step at a time...

Awesome song! This song reminds me a bit of rancid, especially the verses... I love it!
So Tim Armstrong could join the song :p

ну почему нету подобных русских групп

If finishing what you started means leaving the world in anarchic chaos and the ruins of any sort of civil society, you're in the right direction my friends.

Have you ever heard of anti flag before your white supremacist Facebook group started posting responses to it? You obviously don't know jack shit about anti flag.

Imagine all of the rest of the millions of people who also would listen to this who know nothing about anti-flag, then. The first timer's interpretation would be the radical idea that the cop/boss in their head needs to be extinguished. Which sounds like that thing people have, called a conscience.

Casino Sabino you would be right to assume that I've never heard of anti-flag before, but you would be right to assume I don't know anything about antiflag themselves, but anyone can interpret their message in a number of ways. Which is why religious people get such a bad rep, because some people have minds that automatically interpret the most radical ideas as "the way."

As a hipster, I can officially proclaim that punk never dies.

Hope this gets more views

Black, White, Red -thats my flag.

Garbage

Yes yes and fuck yes! 🤘🏼😆🤘🏼

You guys are pro war communists. Knock that democrat stuff off. Try anarchy you sell out liberal punks. Antiflag advocating
More gun control. Anyways a bunch of your songs make it to my playlist for the lip service they play to peace and freedom. Makes me want to puke when i realize you are just what democrats listened to during there teen age years.

Terrible music, terrible look, they sound like theyre just trying to appeal to the clueless millennial audience. Christ

ZombieGirl Do you really think I didn't know that?

Sarah Ahn Your previous comment suggested otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

STFU cumbucket

Skeleton Clique lmao

@Ally Milligan gtfo

I never heard these guys before but i get a classic green day and jimmy eat world feel!!! Amazing

Anti-Flag formed 30 years ago, this is their 10th album and they are nothing at all like those two bands you mentioned

*B R A S I L*

Memes BrZueira B R A S I L

This band save punk rock

Whatever happened to your punk rock sound?

Have you ever heard of the Clash? That's what this reminds me of.

They evolved. Good bands evolve. They have been around for 30 years so maybe they didn't want to keep making the same sounding songs over and over Also define the punk sound because I can show you Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Clash, The Damned, Buzzcocks, Germs, Dead Kennedys, Crass etc who all sounded different from each other but were punk bands.

@Jason Harshman heavens to betsy too

Awesome song !! Love it ;)

This is just fkn hilariously bad lol

Never change Anti-Flag

It's hilarious to hear people that claim to be Anti-Government advocate for gun control. You can be punk, you can be for an overreaching government, but you can't be both.

I voted Bernie, but I'm still for gun rights for the most part. The 2nd amendment is there for a reason and if our government does end up stepping a little to far, we the people can stand up against them, guns in hand. It happened 242 years ago and it can happen again

Shut the fuck up

god damn americans

Also, as for how people can support the government in one way and not in another...are you thick? It has things I like and dislike and if I see it as representing the people it is my job as the people to make it reflect me.
If it does not support the people then change is still necessary. Honestly either way my goals are the same, my methods just differ.

Somehow they don't seem to age at all

Traitorous trash and communists, Trump should shoot ALL traitors.

absolutely the worst music I've ever heard.

still cant look at him w/o seeing mr. bean :(( great song though powerful meaning!

can't wait to see it live next week!!

This band sounds like The Clash of my generation! <3

Damn right man! 👍😎

Matty Kal Ramone hugs from Brazil my man!

Antiflags been around since the early 90's and was originally formed in the late 80's though.

I can't tell if they are for the country or against it, if against they are just degenerate trash to me and every other patriot. Well if they are it's good to see there's not many dumb asses like them in the world judging by the views.

The "facts" appearing in the video should mention the source. That would make then that much powerful. Good work though, good music, good message.

They have done it that way for years. But these are all true statements. You'll see if you look them up.

You can source check pretty easily these days.
I agree that sources should always be posted, but it'd be a little cumbersome in a music video.

When will be a tour in Europe? (Poland plz!)

why is chris # 2 faking playing bass :O

This is my favorite album by Anti-Flag, they are criminally underrated

Bass is sick in this song, killin it #2!

Anti-Flag has me dancing one minute, then pissed off at the world the next minute. Truth: This whole album is fucking great. They make me feel so hopeful in SO many ways.

Hello Vanna libtards ruin rock music.Virtue signaling with distorted facts and want to take american freedoms of self defense.grow some balls soy boys.

Lmao dumbass "red pill", why don't you take the bread pill instead

Hello Vanna this is my favorite album by them

Red pill, the fuck you trolling for? Leave us punks alone and go jack off to your kid rock records

@red pill christopher LOL Imagine thinking Anarchists are liberals......

OH FUCK YEAH!

niceeee

Awesome !! Like always

exacly my friend

it's a wonderful song
of my favorites from this album

I think it's the worst song on the album, although I don't mind the chorus. It's funny how subjective and divisive their music seems to be.

Couldn't be more excited to see these guys in 5 days!!

This album was one of the only highlights of 2017

Lucy Parr you forget warriors by bad cop/bad cop

Rise Against's Wolves and Rancid's Trouble Maker were pretty good too :)

YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST

The Best guys!

J adore cette musique comme toujours

It's amazing !! Please come back to Quebec soon , I love you guys❤ ❤❤

I like the more pop approach you guys took to this song
