Distraction techniques
They’ve emptied your head
No incentive to think
You are the walking dead
You’re asking me
Why I’m angry
I’m asking you
Why are you not?
Consume consume
Until you fucking die
The world’s full of shit
You never question why

Abrazos - D.I.Y.
01:04
|

Always non-profit, And inclusive
A collective of like minded people
No contracts, no guarantees,
free from business bullshit
All individuals but with a common bond
free from bigotry and violence
A space free from bigotry
Trust, honesty, community
This is how we live our lives

Abrazos - Halfcore
01:12
|
|||
Closing off our world
With macho white male shit
Adversity to diversity
In a vicious circle pit
Half a scene
We’ve got half a scene
Half a scene
We’ve got half a scene
It’s time we realised
We can’t do this alone
An ocean of white faces
Mixed with testosterone
Punk should be inclusive
And practice what we preach
It only makes us weaker
When half our scene is out of reach

The wires they appall me
And the cages I despise
The brevity and wastage
Of a million squandered lives
How long can you deny it and turn your face away
Vivisection’s death in your name every single day
The arrogance astounds me
The fact we carry on
Beyond all need and reason
Blotting out the harm that’s done
No one will stop this torture in denial of their fate
This happens coz we let it, smash the locks and liberate
Open your eyes
To the silence and lies
Open your eyes
Or an animal dies

Abrazos - Tradition
01:02
|
|||
The sickening Hunting of foxes
Horrific baiting of badgers
Fishing in seas and rivers
Shooting magnificent deer
I don’t want tradition
don’t want your tradition
it tries to kill
everything
Fawning over pointless royals
And an outdated honours system
The privileged Ladies and Lords
While suffering Capitalism

Stop making a fuss! Women are equal now, more or less. And if women are equal now, then to talk about sexism, to complain about sexism, must be over-reacting. Or maybe you don't have a sense of humour? Or maybe you need to learn to take a compliment? Or maybe you're a bit frigid or uptight and you need to learn to take a joke? Except that in the U.K. over two women a week are killed by a current or former partner. There's a phone call to police every minute about domestic violence. Every six or seven minutes a woman is raped adding up to over 85,000 rapes and 400,000 sexual assaults every year. In the U.K. a woman has a one in four chance of becoming the victim of domestic violence and a one in five chance of being the victim of a sexual offence. And worldwide, one in three women on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime.
A pussy brings pleasure and pussy brings life!
But the kitchen is the place for your Mother, Daughter, Wife!
Your lust for pussy when copulating
Soon turns to disgust when it's menstruating!
Your casual misogyny
Endorses ideologies
Enforced by the patriarchy
That men are strong and women weak!
You call him a pussy when you think he's weak.
And cunt is the worst insult we speak.
But a pussy's not weak nor is cunt taboo.
It was your mother's cunt and pussy that gave birth to you!
Your casual misogyny
Endorses ideologies
Enforced by the patriarchy
That men are strong and women weak
What we need is a cultural and a social shift in our attitudes towards women and our attitudes towards violence against women. All of these things are connected. The same ideas and attitudes about women that underlie those more minor incidents of sexism and harassment that we're often told to brush off and not make a fuss about, are the same ideas and attitudes about women that underlie the more serious incidents of assault and rape.
Don't cry like a girl!
You big girl's blouse!
Dry your eyes princess!
You're the man of the house!
Who wears the trousers?
Boys will be boys!
Man up son!
Grow a pair of balls!
Your casual misogyny
Endorses ideologies
Enforced by the patriarchy
That men are strong and women weak!

t feels like we're back in the 1980's
We're still angry! We're still angry!
As the world's on the brink of a global catastrophe
We're still angry! We're still angry!
We're still angry! (X3)
We're still angry! (X2)
Thatcher's not in power but she May as well be
We're still angry! We're still angry!
Reagan's been Trumped in the White House cabaret
We're still angry! We're still angry!
We're still angry! (X3)
We're still angry! (X2)
As the Eagle and the Bear flex muscles in the Middle East
We're still angry! We're still angry!
The threat of nuclear war's still as real as it's ever been
We're still angry! We're still angry!
We're still angry! (X3)
We're still angry! (X4)
