Propagandhi - A Speculative Fiction Lyrics






A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel.
Cut all diplomatic ties as we expel
All American dignitaries,
And issue a nation-wide travel advisory for any others left inside.
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.
The burned out shells of south-bound traffic lay strewn across a cold
Stretch of would-be interstate.
Still visible below
Below their charred remains:
Pax Americana plates.
Your stupid fucking laser-pucks were just the start.

And while you may stand six full cubits and a span,
A shepard's sling and five stones in our hand
And the battle of 1812 lives in our heart.

We don't care if we're destroyed.
We'll never capitulate.
We'll take the whole fucking world down,
Down with us in flames.

Just a speculative fiction.
No cause for alarm.
We got a good 15 years left
Till the United We Stand
Murals on West Broadway finally fade
And we wave good-bye to such sad, childish refrains.
Exchanged for other stupid lullabies
Like "you can have my guns when you pry
Them from my cold dead hands".

Just a speculative fiction.

  3. J.... S....

    Listening to this song in 2019 like....

  4. A.... S....

    PCL is probably their most underrated album...my fav.

    A.... S....

    Most underrated in history!!

  5. D.... J....

    Definitely one of my top 3 punk bands. Couldn't disagree more with their lyrics, but I'll be damned if he doesn't deliver them with conviction. That's really what makes them great.

  6. M.... 5....

    Jesus wept that is some energy
    I almost broke my neck headbanging

  7. s.... d....

    I listened to these guys all the time when this album came out. I kinda grew out of the political shit but this is just straight up some RnR. Wakes me up faster than a cup of coffee

  8. H.... ....

    So hard

  9. B.... 6....

    I wanna change but the taste Is too ingrained in my buds. Help Help Help I cant refuse murder on my plate.

  11. R.... M....

    ALL FORMER LANDS OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA BELONG TO THE DOMINION OF CANADA

  12. A.... a....

    Sorry about the laser pucks guys. Sincerely, a neighbor from the south

    A.... a....

    We've slowly gotten over it.

  13. M.... O....

    Thanks Cone-chan I love you now listen to my mixtape lol

  14. m.... ....

    Had to pull the song up a couple times. too fucking good

  15. C.... B....

    How all Canadians feel about America.

  16. F.... L....

    Masterpiece

  17. s.... ....

    Who could have known how prescient this song would become in 2017? War and violence are never acceptable, and neither is fear. It shames me to admit how afraid I am of what our neighbours to the south are doing. A speculative fiction indeed.

    s.... ....

    s0c1al1z3dm3d1c1ne you’re more scared of trump than you are of Trudeau? Trudeau wants canadians dead. At least Americans are safe.

    s.... ....

    white male Americans*

  18. B.... ....

    Anybody have any paper towel, I have melted face all over my keyboard...

  19. w.... b....

    this song has to be one of the greatest songs of all times......

  20. B.... C....

    Martial law is soon to be declared in Chicago, the underlying message of this song has never been more true, The US pigs will come for for us and now it seems sooner than later.

  21. J.... A....

    when life imitates art.

  22. S.... R....

    Your stupid fucking laser-pucks were just the start - Best line in Canadian punk to date. Fucking Fox Sports

  23. M.... A....

    Fuck, this is a great song!

  24. E.... B....

    Propagandhi, finest engines

  25. T.... M....

    Some of the most innovative musicianship. The content of this song is hilarious and I laugh at every dumb nationalistic American who grows angry from this song's lyrical content. The title is "A Speculative Fiction." Hahahahahahaha.

    T.... M....

    I'm surprised you found some dumb nationalistic American to actually listen to the lyrics.

    T.... M....

    Haha long live Kanadia

  26. E.... P....

    Mi blood is hot right now... i want punch to you!

  27. B.... m....

    B.... m....

  44. C.... ....

    Less talk, more rock was a masterpiece. That is when their uniqueness turned on 1000%

  45. C.... ....

    Isn't it great how it doesn't sound like every other punk band for a change?

  46. j.... ....

    I'm gonna be extra-attentive in Stuttgart tomorrow! ;)

  47. P.... T....

    I think not, cause I have been at their concert in Hamburg and didn´t see any double-bass or any double-pedal-action... :) but maybe this is only my speculative fiction ;-) cheers :)

  48. k.... g....

    they like cold play

  49. j.... e....

    so good

  50. N.... ....

    Just amazing punk rock very technical very good
    I have this album it's freaking awesome....

  51. D.... ....

    this band first record was like a shitty NOFX intend, later on ther grew as a technical punk band, and NOFX got no shit with them

    D.... ....

    Hell, even HTCE is leagues better than anything NOFX ever released.

  52. k.... ....

    this song rocks!!!

  53. n.... ....

    Punk pop?!?!?!!?!?!?

  54. P.... T....

    is Jordy playing double-bass at the end??

  55. s.... ....

  56. A.... ....
