Anti-Flag - Protest Song Lyrics






and so the time has finally come
the bourgeoisie has signed the war decree with proletariat blood
and that blood which flows from their pen
is the closest that they've ever been to the people
you've been to our shows
you've sung our songs
now we're asking you to add to each chorus you've sung and
protest, against, injustice, state terror
on the streets of the world
for the disempowered
you've sung at our shows
cheered right over wrong
now it's time to hit the streets
back up those words you've sung
because our voices alone this time will not get it done
looking to stop a rogue regime?
well the first ones that we must confront is WASHINGTON, DC!
the bush "terror war", UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNCONSCIENABLE
we refuse to let him kill, in our name for oil
we know their game
know they're corrupt
it's up to us to hit the streets,time to take our rights back!
protest, against, injustice, state terror
on the streets of the world
for the disempowered
you've sung at our shows
cheer ed right over wrong
now it's time to hit the streets
back up those words you've sung
because our voices alone this time will not get it done
because the people, united will get it done
protest, against injustice, state terror
on the streets of the world for the disempowered [x4]

    A.... ....

  9. B.... V....

    I came back to this song tonight, after the American election. I first heard it in 2004 when I was a sixteen and couldn't vote yet. It helped me feel so much better - it's helping tonight too.

    B.... V....

    Shit...I remember singing this song while protesting the Iraq war back then. My fellow anarchists and I marched singing this song.

    Maybe it's time for me to dust off the Red and Black banner. I might be older, but I am no less angry or passionate.

  10. L.... ....

    I heard this song the first time when I was about 4 years old. I didn't know what it is about because i didn't know the language but i sung some words while I heard it in the radio. Now, 12 years later I hear it again and I have tears in my eyes :,)

    L.... ....

    Punk since you were 4 :D

    L.... ....

    I heard it for the first time when I was 5/6 but I kind of understood what it was about, but not fully now I do though.

  11. N.... A....

    When I was totally fucked up, thinking there's no hope for this world and no futur for me, I lost all taste in life and I attemped suicide 2 or maybe 3 time until I started to listen to Anti-Flag and THIS song.
    Well, this song literally saved my life.

    N.... A....

    Dude fight the power, after i joined the infantry i felt the same way......they inspired me to leave and peruse my sociology degree to make a difference....i totally hear ya

    N.... A....

    Let's start a revolution together.

    N.... A....

    Fuck ya

  12. C.... f....

    so many people in the comments who hear anarchy or communism and think of cold war US propaganda. It's too bad they are unable to, I don't know, Google these forms of government in order to not sound like idiots.

    C.... f....

    Yeah I will take anarchy, I don't agree with communism at all. But anarchy would work yes at first there would chaos but after a year or two it would settle down.

  13. L.... E....

    Just kidding.  Though it is time to pay the piper.  None of them have survived: but I must tell this tale in reverse @this site.

  14. L.... E....

    How many civilizations have survived for your greed?  All of them, to date.

  15. L.... E....

    ...just like the old days.

  16. A.... L....

    Can someone tell me where I can buy this?

    A.... L....

    +skaterkid 182 i think they're on itunes. also this may help youtube-mp3 . org (without the spaces between org and the . )

  17. G.... S....

    Seriously, this song is so beautiful, Anti-flag's song are so inspiring for me

    G.... S....

    So you can burn your own country's flag

  18. G.... S....

    Put in jail the 12 capitalist who disliked this song!

    G.... S....

    +Grey Soul Putting in jail people for this reason IS capitalism/fascism.

    G.... S....

    No: It is humor.

  19. D.... 4....

    @CarlosSpiceyWiener18 Yeah but you can't say that it is a "Donots-Song". There is much more Anti-Flag in it than Donots or ZSK!

  20. D.... 4....

    @samuriguy909 but there is no corruption without capitalism... I mean, not everything on communism is good, but the idea is much better than the idea of corruption, isn't it? I'm not a communist!

    Excuse my english;)

    D.... 4....

    Oh you fuckin communist...

    D.... 4....

    Communism also has corruption it doesn't matter what kind of government you have there will always be corruption it's in human nature there always has been and always will be, that is why we shouldn't have government. Anarchy is the best way.

  21. U.... H....

    what the fuck are ancap trolls doing on here. gtfo!

  22. T.... ....

    The Red Lotus (Legend of Korra) Should sing this.

  23. D.... N....

    I think it's interesting that he's singing about protesting for peace(or at least that's what I got out of it) and there are people that are commenting here that are going ballistic and wanting to kill each other. 

    D.... N....

    That is kind of ironic.

  24. j.... w....

    Bands just don't sing stuff like this anymore -_-

  25. S.... A....

    I know this is cliche, but I just do not understand how is it that this song is not popular. I think this is one of the most killer protest songs ever.

  26. F.... G....

    RIOT IN BRAZIL , Police violence & gentrification is bringing millions to the streets

  27. C.... ....

    This actually isn't an anti flag song. A band called donots does it and Anti flag and ZSK are featured in it

  28. s.... ....

    National socialism isn't referring to the nazi party, I know there full title was the national socialist German workers party but there was nothing socialist about them, nazism is a form of fascism that ended up becoming so extreme it became its own political ideology, socialism is a very different thing that Marx talks about during the communist manifesto as another alternative and has been put into practice and worked very well in some county's, don't confuse them

    s.... ....

    sytank Nationalist Socialism was the shortened version of the official title of the Nazis. American Nationalist Socialism is nothing more than a rehash of the German Nationalist Socialist Party. And I hate fascists.

  29. P.... V....

    Agree with all of that except the last sentence. National socialism? What the fuck?

  30. m.... ....

    corporations dont own you the government does, you force people to use a system called collectivism using state power, which makes you a fascist. in a true capitalist society everything is voluntary and has free exchange without the threat of the state gun also anarcho-capitalism is compatible with anarcho-syndicalism which is voluntary collectivism, with anarchy (total liberation) you dont have to choose. so quit bashing capitalism until you do research about it first

  31. s.... ....

    Communism turned more anti-human rights than what Marx wanted it to be. Look at North Korea. Its also not capitalism's fault that america is a dystopia where corporations own people, its just corrupt government that accept bribes from every corporate elite, not the economic system.

  32. D.... ....

    anyone know the who's the third guy singing
    ''And that blood from their pen'' and ''well the first one that we must confront is Washington D.C''

  33. M.... ....

    Not particularly. Both suck.

  34. M.... ....

    It's like you don't even know what anarchism is. Anarchy has always been about libertarian socialism. And no, in socialism and communism the government does not own you any more than in a capitalist republic or democracy. Far less than the corporations would own you in a lib-cap dystopia.

  35. j.... e....

    @cripple128 communism and some forms of anarchy are closely related

  36. D.... O....

    Its up to 7 now

  37. c.... ....

    an anarchist communist.... how the fuck does that make sense?

  38. z.... m....

    @DomagojSavordh Yes it Is indeed.

  39. D.... D....

    even more dangerous

  40. J.... H....

    oi!, i looked up punk in the dictionary and your picture was there!

  41. J.... H....

    solidarity

  42. s.... ....

    How funny. People here in the comments thinking its better and more punk to be communist and socialist than capitalist when those are 2 ideologies in which the government owns you even more than now. Don't be closed minded tool bags.

  43. z.... m....

    we dont have capitalism we have CORPORATISM. their is a difference

  44. Z.... ....

    It's a joke. Shut up.

  45. s.... ....

    And the true capitalism was as bad as the 'false' one.

  46. M.... L....

    Anarcho-Capitalists like this song. Don't be closed minded.

  47. S.... J....

    I like the message and what it stands for

  48. C.... ....

    The terror state

  49. s.... ....

    Don't hate on capitalist and capitalism. The only time the world has ever seen Capitalism was during the begining of the Industrial Revolution. Since then True Capitalism has been dead. Right now we have a False Capitalism Society

  50. s.... ....

    Which cd is this song off of?

  51. l.... d....

    already 6 of these basterds....

  52. T.... ....

    One time, when we are old, thw world will wake up and all people will listening to Anti Flag... Thats my dream of the future

  53. S.... B....

    anti flag has difficult clapping patterns =s

  54. s.... n....

    @Missy757Sinny why would we confront washing D.C.? the elites are the ones who are truley running the show!

  55. B.... ....

    nothing wrong being a capitalists.... or communists..... or socialist.... or whatever you wanna be.... its whatever..... lol....

  56. b.... ....

    @CommunisTnT it isn't capitalism ruining things, it's the controlling powers abusing people through the possibilites of capitalism. ever wondered why all forms fail? there are bad people in those chairs.

  57. K.... L....

    what album is this song on?

  58. P.... ....

    @cravensfall fuck yeah

  59. D.... S....

    5 capitalist pigs are on the wrong page

  60. A.... J....

    @maxcommunist Okay, I live in the U.S. and I want to apologize for this gothkid2 guy. You're being very logical and I get it. Most Americans, in my opinion, actually will listen to a point an respectfully reply with sources and facts to back their opinion. This dude is a polarized media bitch so don't take him seriously.

  61. S.... W....

    4 dislikes........Fuck Capitalists

  62. M.... ....

    @dermieper Just type dark wallpaper in google, you should find it easily. ^^

  63. F.... ....

  64. A.... ....

    @Missy757Sinny yeah! me too^^

  65. M.... ....

    @TheMrMurmaider No I didn't. It's just a picture I found on the internet. But I wished i could draw like that! ^^

  66. A.... ....

  67. T.... S....

    @MrFreewayCA FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  68. C.... ....

    3 capitalists saw the song

  69. N.... ....

    my favourite song by anti flag

  70. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    If you claim you know what Communism is, how CAN you say Mao and Stalin are? unsure about Lenin, I don't know a lot about him.

  71. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    well I've never heared such a stupid thing. Obama lowered taxes (which can be good, but it's not what a socialist would do), he has expelled record numbers of immigrants. that man is just another president who's doing his job poor. But no, he's doing the job bad, so he must be socialist. he is capitalist and it doesn't work out, so you make him a socialist. give me sources that he's a socialist, please.

    PS. I think he's doing his job poor. opinions may differ.

  72. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123

    you claim that I shouldn't believe the United Nations, an organisation which has people from all over the world, including from your own country, and mine, and of maxcommie here. yeah sure, sounds like guys who are liars... and who should I believe then? Bush? that selfish capitalistic bastard, who started a war for him own profit? who got your goddammed country into a pile of ***? who should I believe, if you say no-one who doesn't share YOUR view is relyable?

  73. F.... ....

    small mistake: you mean that in each country, being all-but-2 civilized countries in the world, poor people have to wait for rich people?

  74. F.... ....

    you mean that in each country with public healthcare, being all-but-2 civilized countries in the world, poor people got to wait for poor people? well what the hell are you talking about? I'd say it would be quite the opposite, although praktical, it happens in both. but private first. those pay the most money, and that's what counts in America.

    ALL things in my post are opinions unless mentioned different.

    PS. the good thing of obama was his public healthcare idea. rule above counts here.

  75. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    all your past presidents talked bad about cuba (the ones after cuba became communist, not the oldest ones), so i expect the next one not to be any different. in my opinion, obama is a ideot capitalist, who got demonized for the only good idea I ever heared in a president election in my damn life. I would be jealous of America? If my picks were Cuba and America, it would be America, to shoot some CEO guys and flee to Cuba. want to hear a thing america is best at? murder.

  76. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    I wasn't talking about your past wrongs, but your current. I don't for the hell know why a leader would get to you country for surgery, given that even Cuba has a better health care than you. I am not just talking about system, but on the UN scale, Cuba beats america on healthcare. (america beats cuba at things like democracy, free press, and other good things). I don't for the hell know why you mention 'past wrongs'. all A, B, C and D are CURRENT problems. problems for me.

  77. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    [3th post, read the ones under here first]
    I felt like I had to be more complete. just to get clear that I don't like Cuba either, I just think it's not 'the devil'. point C of my points why I don't like america doubtlessly counts for Cuba (not sure, but safe to assume), and for an ideology that strives for a world state their closed borders are a major no-no. just thought I'd say it, as I sounded a bit like an brainwashed cuban.

  78. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    [continued, read the one under first]
    yes, my judgement is clouded. I admit I don't like america, because A. it opposed socialism, B. it's one of the 2 civilized countries that don't have public healthcare, C. it has filming police violence as a crime, D. attacks whatever country they want, for ideot excuses (yeah, we got nukes, but we don't want them to have them as they're bad). but, america has countless good points, so they're not by defenition a bad country. first line.

  79. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    I didn't deny a single killer did I? I even went to some lengts admitting I would (notice: I) call one of them a communist. and if you prefer the judgement of your president above the one from a bunch of people from half of the nations of the world (a guess: I got honesty no idea how much countries are in), then do so. but I'd like to remind you that the UN is more objectieve against castro than your president is, and even you can't deny that. I will continue in the next post.

  80. F.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    untrue. all murders, but I'd call only lenin a communist, and Castra may get the title of socialist. the United Nations declared him hero of equalty, so what can I say? by the way, you forgot some non-communistic murders: Johnson, Bush, a handfull of CEOs from insurance companies, and so on.

  81. J.... D....

    My god, this is gonna be my new theme song!

  82. M.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    Ok, ok we got your points...
    Now, go disturb someone else, we're busy...
    Listening to some good music!

  83. M.... ....

    @ThePackers123 I still think it's an opinion 'cuz even though I think that religion isn't a good think, some people thinks that religion is great thing.

  84. M.... ....

    @ThePackers123 Have I ever said that??

  85. M.... ....

    @ThePackers123
    Oh, by the way:
    If you don't like the music, don't listen to it.

  86. M.... ....

    @ThePackers123 Everybody has different opinions on different subject. It is not beacause you think different that you think the RIGHT way.
    Everybody is free to believe what they want.

  87. M.... ....

    So do I! They're a fucking great band!
