Chronic Future - The Great Wall Lyrics






Forces of imperialism are at hand
Too much resistance to take a stand
One million dead, how many more?
What does it take to not be ignored?
At the forefront of the freedom fight
An electric cattle prod with a stinging bite
Inmates raped, for their blood
Which comes next, storms or the floods?
Persecuted because of the Mantras
Temples burnt down by the Contras
No where to run, no where to hide
It's hard to tell who's on your side

Back in '87 two raised the flag
Chinamen come in with the body bags
Chants of independence became clear
It ain't what Mao wanted to hear
So the red flag smothers all
Waiting just waiting for the last to fall
For fear of the domino theory,
Not in our best interest
Favored trade treaty promotes the incest

So tear down all these walls,
Before they kill us all
Tear down all these walls,
Liberty and justice for all
Burn down all your flags,
In turn great walls will fall
And as society calls liberty and justice for all

It ain't no joke
Police cover up criticism with pistol smoke
Kids made to shoot their parents and
Their preachers
Who cares about the death of another teacher?
Ancient scrolls burned more than
Twelve hundred years old
Stolen possession of temples
Auctioned off and sold
China puts on a mask to look humane
Underneath the mask one hell of a lot of pain

Tear down these walls, before they kill us all
Tear down these walls!

    i remembering seeing this music video all the time

  2. m.... ....

    I remember seeing these guys on a little side stage at a warped tour show! good times

  3. J.... b....

    🔥🖖😁😃

  4. D.... H....

    2019 and I'm still here. Like this when you come back 🤘

    D.... H....

    yes dude i wish i could find more of there stuff or anything on the actual band haha

    D.... H....

    FUCK YAAA BRUUUH
    It’s a fucking shame they kinda disappeared with no trace
    I found a couple tracks ft mike Busse but other than that nothing

  5. S.... A....

    Inspiring, shining, rising
    And when you're in my way
    I'm not dividing me from you cause we're working together
    Perfect in its splendor like the currents of the weather
    The splinter in my center hindering all of my pleasure
    Is me manifested as you in this endeavor
    Once responsibility is taken I can render
    Experience to be however I want to remember
    Time and time again we fall in to the depths of who we are
    But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find
    Put yourself through the scariest of scenarios
    Enter experiences you normally wouldn't dare to go
    It's all for the character and the arrogant afterglow
    Of knowing it's appearance according to your patterns of growth
    And what your parents handed down to you to handle
    Make sure you carry torches when their putting out your candles
    Predictions can be unkind but unwind them still
    Don't erase the part of you that's responsible for your will
    Time and time again we fall in to the depths of who we are
    But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find
    Time and time again we fall in to the depths of who we are
    But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find
    Well I've seen you and those things you do
    And the way you hide that shadow can't be good for you
    Your dark defines your light
    There's some utterly damaged particles to deal with
    And if I stutter I'm sorry but it's hard to feel swift
    When stuck in my stomach is a cannon ball anchor to lift
    I've been pushing it down pretending it doesn't exist
    Well this is what happens when you're pissed about being pissed
    You dig yourself so deep you resist just to resist
    And there's no way to get back experiences you missed
    So start right now today and risk furiousness for bliss
    Time and time again we fall in to the depths of who we are
    But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find
    Time and time again we fall in to the depths of who we are
    But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find
    Time and time again we fall in to the depths of who we are
    But you can't keep running away from what you're trying to find

    My skate-mates were on the old school stuff (Ramones, Who, INXS BlackFlag, ect). But this album was what I was rocking (with AAF and BFS. Because screw you emos, I am gonna have fun and be cheer, ever if I have the worst life right now!). And listening to it now? Weird. Some "very deep sh*t" in the lyrics that sits more true today, but also the same stupid juvie BS we bought into back then.

    That's......whow.

    I came across Chronic Future back in 2005 while listening to Yahoo! Launch at my local library in the 11th grade. Time and Time Again was the beginning of a beautiful musicship. I had the opportunity to see them in my hometown of Houston, TX a few years ago. Awesome experience. Bands like these are what make me happy to be alive.
