Anti-Flag - Mind The G.A.T.T. Lyrics






A brand new history
Slyly and quickly
Sparkles in your eyes
Hope your not missing
The flash points/sign posts
Etching the future
From here

Ancient ancestors transmitting via pool formed from rainfall
Where my reflection stares back at me and says
As the sun sets bright over ancient earth and disappears from view
The spirit of the world will rise up from the dis again
Our voices sing in union
Lifless, soulless, secret abyss
Plotting the worlds doom
Production and consumption wakes the sleeping world to sing again
Our voices sing in union

From african coasts to australian mainland
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
From the american plains to the sea of japan
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread

As evil hacks and rips at every corner of the world
The peoples voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union
To implement a Paul Hawken-Esque model for the world
The people voice will sing as one voice
Our voices sing in union

The Arabian sea to the coast of chile
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
The plateau of tibet to the bay of biscay
Watch your brothers back, watch your sisters back
In your own backyard, or far off foreign lands
We find our adversaries woven of the same thread

Rethink... Fucking dig in!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

Don't sit by and take it!
They built it we can break it!
We're not gonna stand for any G.A. double T's!!!

    @socomseal93
    Homophobe!

  22. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 Sony controls most of the music industry and other companies associated with the US Government/Military run all the other competitors to Sony. Essentially, 5 major corporations dominate the entertainment industry and they are all connected to the US Government or Military in some way, so there is not much choice when it comes to choosing a record label. The fact that Anti-Flag has managed to make one of the companies work for them and not the other way around is an achievement

  23. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 WTF are you talking about, I just said all countries are fucked up, it doesn't matter where I go, every place is corrupt. So instead of trying to avoid the problems, lets solve them (hence the existence of punk rock) . If you want to continue to be disrespectful and flame me then go ahead, but I'm not going to stoop down to your level of immature name calling. As such, I will no longer respond to your flame comments because I don't care. Arguing gets us no where.

  24. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 Usually, I don't defend America from its critics but I haven't seen Anti-Flag get thrown into a van yet, and they are from the US. I haven't seen NOFX get thrown in a van yet and their from the US. I haven't see any punk rock bands thrown into jail for political reasons yet.

  25. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 If you believe the Canadian government is not corrupt, you're wrong. The evidence regarding things they have done is being suppressed by the Gov't just like in other countries with corrupt governments. All countries governments are corrupt in some way, such as the US,UK,France,Germany ECT. You only hear about their corruptness when someone leaks information, which is a rarity. Thankfully wikileaks exists now :) Can't wait to read about the corrupt Canadian government leaks.

  26. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 I admit, I used to be a tool when I was 13, but now I don't give a shit about the military. You shouldn't be one to talk though seeing as how you are in the Canadian military. Pasts aside, please elaborate on how RCA is connected with the military, what exactly do they do? I was unaware that RCA was connected with the military in anyway, which if it turns out to be true does change my opinion. Also, if someone disagrees with you, then their a tool. Perhaps you're the real tool?!!

  27. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 Lastly, if they were tools then why would they switch to an independent label? If they were out for money, they would stick with RCA and not give a shit about what their fans think. I agree, when I first heard they signed to RCA I was a bit disappointed, but For blood and Empire still turned out great. However, Bright lights of America was pretty awful and I'm glad they have returned to their punk roots. Also, to survive in a capitalist society you must have money or you die!

  28. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 Furthermore, some of their songs do have good lyrics such as No Paradise, or No future. The Press corpse and I'm dead also have some fairly decent lyrics as well as some others. The One Trillion Dollars music video also paints a very anti US picture yet it is still hosted by RCA. Your point regarding soft lyrics is moot. Furthermore, in regards to demographic, what demographic are they targeting? I don't know anyone that listens to them aside from a few anarchist friends.

  29. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 Thats nice, I don't see it that way but you do, that's great. Clearly we have interpreted the situation differently but there is no need to insult my interpretation by calling it "bullshit". That is very disrespectful and that goes against the message of punk rock "Accept people for their differences". Yes RCA are shit heads but Anti-Flag signed a contract that said they can do what ever they want and it still gets published. That is unheard of aside from indy records.

  30. s.... ....

    @combatboots711 Its true, they did sign with RCA but only to get their message across to a broader audience, not for profit. Since a lot of fans were angry claiming they were sell outs, when they weren't, they switched to an independent label (Side One Dummy)

  31. s.... ....

    @giggletwerp3 They play pop music designed to make money. They don't play because they want to, they play because they want money.

  32. A.... E....

    @TokeCannabis yes there was an interview where justin said it as a JOKE! he said "I don't drink...I really don't...I drink BUDWEISER" :P

  33. A.... E....

    6 people are ignorant

  34. F.... ....

    @TokeCannabis Yes they are Straight Edge

  35. n.... ....

    I remember buying this album when it came out and thinking, "I wonder what G.A.T.T means?" I looked through the booklet that had lyrics and it said something like "You won't find the meaning here, you'll have to find out what it means on your own." And so I did... I found out it means the "General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade" This is when I began to implement the meaning behind "Finding your own truth". There is nothing more valuable in life than shedding the veil of ignorance.

  36. x.... ....

    awsome song

  37. r.... ....

    @thesverkeristheshit Its not lit its just for show. He doesnt smoke

  38. l.... ....

    yeah thats Andy Flag (started the band, then got kicked out for doing too many non straight edge activities i do believe)

  39. l.... ....

    no, they went to one side dummy. waayyy better than sony!!

  40. S.... ....

    Homophobes SUCK! how are they "gay" anyways?
    They send out a great message. it's to bad you're to closed minded to wake up and LISTEN!

  41. s.... ....
