Propagandhi - Rock For Sustainable Capitalism lyrics

rate me

I fuckin? love that one rock video where that fucking

jack-ass mohawked millionaire prances around by far

the worst sausage party on earth,

where by mere chance he?s caught on film shaking hands

with an incredibly diverse collection of patriotic

skins. I like the message it sends: With a Rebel?

yell, Just Do Exactly What You?

re Told. One million douche bags can?

t be wrong? ?When did punk rock become so safe?

? You?ll excuse me if I laugh in your face as I itemize

your receipts and PowerPoint your balance sheets.

I hear this year?s Vans Warped Tour is ?

going green!? I guess they heard that money grows on

trees. Hope they ship all those shitty bands overseas

like they did the factories.

Music?s power to describe,

compel, renew ? It?s all a distant second to the offers

you can?t refuse. Anyone remember when we used to believe

that music was a sacred place and not some fucking

bank machine? Not something you just bought and sold?

How could we have been so naïve?

Well, I think when all is said and done,

just cuz we were young doesn?

t mean we were wrong. And I?

ll rock back and forth on this two-bit hobbyhorse ?

til she splinters and gives way.

I?ll tend the flowers by her grave.

And whisper her name. If anyone out there understands

can I please see a show of hands just so I know I?

m not insane? Ever get the feeling you been played?

Well, that?s rock for sustainable capitalism and you

know, we may face a scorched and lifeless earth,

but they?re accountable to their shareholders first.

That?s how the world works.
