Le Tigre - New Kicks Lyrics






Peace Now, Peace Now, Peace Now, Peace Now!

We are gathered here, we come from so many different places.
From different identities, different cultures.
Different backgrounds different religions.
And yet we can gather, under the guides of peace....now...
Peace now!

"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!
"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!
"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!

"We made it. We're here. We're here right now and we're not leaving."

Now I hear you, I hear you people.
Now I hear you, I hear you people.
Now I hear you, I hear you people.
Now I hear you, I hear you people.
Now I hear you, I hear you....

"Now, we have reports that more and more people are just taking on ramps onto the bridge and taking it over.. it's just...just..."

"I mean, i'm just like..ahh!"

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!

"Reports from protests from among Georgia... Amsterdam... and Fort Lebanon... East Seymour... Florence, Italy...London...Milano, Italy...Paris, France...
Dozens of cities in Spain... Reports in Athens, Georgia... Austin, Texas... Westford, Virginia... Charleston, South Carolina... Colorado Springs... and
Defiance, Ohio... Denver, Colorado as well as Durango... Geneva, New York as well as Houston, Texas... Cianis, Massachussetts...In Hawaii as well...
Lawrence, Kansas... Los Angeles, California... AND I AM ONLY NAMING A FEW!"

Peace...now! Peace...now!

And as Eleanor Roosevelt said...
"It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it. It isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it"
And we here today... are working at it!

"This is possible, and even necessary. So grab the sword, pick up the hammer and the saw. And start building a better world!"

No blood for oil!
We will not be violent!
No blood for oil!
We will not be violent!
No blood for oil!

"We will not go to war, for a selected president, who wasn't even elected!"

We must stand here, token, abound and unchained.
We need healthcare!
We need education!
We need freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!

"Thousands of people have taken over 3rd Avenue and are marching North. The crowd stretches at least 15 blocks from 44th street to 59th Street.
The police have just simply... given up."

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!

"We will not sell out!
We will not back down!
We will not compromise!
We will go forward,
Until peace is on the world's agenda!"

I started a theory that there were no more heroes in the World.
But Today, I see all the World's heroes standing before me.

"We say no to war!"
No war!
"We say no to war!"
No war!
"We say no to war!"
No war!

  1. E.... M....

    I am literally rioting in the streets right now for an end to the police state and corporate facism. this is my new anthem!

  2. h.... b....

    Yhis is brilliant, I've tweeted it to le tigre

  3. P.... ....

    So many people who support the troops think of anti-war protesters as heartless scum. When in fact, we're not angry towards the men and women in the line of fire. We're angered that thousands of brave American citizens die in vain. For it's not the government agenda for peace, but the government agenda for control, money, and power that leads to these events. We all need to educate ourselves with the truth and seek out the answers for ourselves rather than believing what the government tells us.

  4. h.... ....

    it would be a lot better to accept the actions taken in the middle east if it werent so twisted by the criminal intentions and acts of the Bush Administration, who has itself committed many terrorist acts of its own, against its own country. Tragically ironic how they became a variant of that which they have sought to destroy (read: terrorists).

  5. b.... ....

    it's nice to see my hometown mentioned in the lyrics.

  6. J.... ....

    My intent with this videography was not anti-American at all. In fact, it is the freedom of speech/press that I am excercising, with or without any viewers understanding my artwork. The song by LeTigre is pretty clear--Peace Now! With that as a statement, I collected images from around the world that captured the essence of their music, and produced a videography.

  7. D.... T....

    I reject the notion that supporting human life, dignity and peace means that the solders are bad people - but I sure wish they had better choices than to put in a situation where it's kill or be killed. Is it better for one of "them" to die instead of one of "us?" What if it's not one of "them" but just a bystander? Just because Bush43 says it OK makes it OK?

  8. D.... T....

    It seems that mass numbers of people in a number of places are killed without due process - because a democracy has found it suitable that they die in their own home instead of a dictator deciding. either way they are dead and the chain of events started because of rejecting peace.

  9. D.... T....

    I think the point of being anti-war (or pro-peace)is that NO ONE should be put in harm's way if possible. What part of the current "war" increases freedom? I would argue that so far it has reduced freedom - certainly the freedom of the Iraqi's and Afghan's (and Palestinians) to live free of being part of the collateral damage has been negatively impacted.
