(calling upon my community, not the police...) once I was robbed, beat down bad by stick-up kids but even worse was how I was treated when I went to the police reacting with suspicion when I thought I was the victim racist sexist bullies with no intent to protect me kNOw!!! a knight of justice with mob mentality yeah the real thugs in blue are the police around me I deny that fascist prowler of the poor who rejects that we are all the same at our core you can't win the fight with a fucking cop pulling a gun won't make them stop the best form of attack is to refuse that thug just turn your fucking back I'm not saying to deny the reality just that copkiller fantasy don't talk to cops, don't play their games this war we can win if we use our brains OK the first thing you say is "am I free to go?" and no shit with a power trip they will probably tell you "NO" but when they talk to you just say "I'm remaining silent" and if they search you remember say "you do NOT have my consent" kNOw!!! fear through physical confrontation you're kept in line, on your dime, forced assimilation real freedom is taking charge of your situation whereas the cops just grip the town with brute intimidation REAL PUNX DON'T TALK TO COPS there are alternative solutions to the problems we got fucking with little kids for skating instead of rotting away all day online down the block you hear gunshots, meanwhile arrested for painting on a wall?! there are a few cops with good intentions on our streets of course but they'll be stuck within the ranks of goons until they quit the force kNOw!!! knight of justice with a chokehold on society yeah the real thugs in blue are these fucking cops around me I deny! we never see eye to eye I DENY!!! no killer with a badge and a gun is part of my life REAL PUNX DON'T TALK TO COPS there are alternative solutions to the problems we got henchmen of a class system, not to demonize but just to observe the reality administrators of oppression, armed guards for the aristocracy but this is not another song about juvenile fantasies of "killing pigs" this is a call for common sense and an affirmation to step back and think engage responsibility, call upon your community not the false aid of a violent gang AKA the police (911 is a joke, big ups to copwatch, big ups to security culture, know your rights, in solidarity...) "...am I being detained or am I free to go?" "I am remaining silent." "I do not consent to a search." "I want to speak to a lawyer."

(this song is called Bulletbelt ...it goes out to every fucking fashion punk who ever put you down just for being you) "making punk a threat again" How? by popularizing alienation and alcoholism? NO! (get up, get up, get up... I'll fight it forever...) I want more than a pose or fake formula rage let punk be liberation not a miserable cage a life philosophy based on living your own way the anti-dogma! you define The Shit Punx Hate!!! I saw a young kid ridiculed because he wouldn't drink a beer and he had no studded uniform so I could sense their fear and I used to say "righteous" instead of saying "cool" but now I'm back to "RADICAL" so FUCK YOU DOGMA PUNX AND YOUR NARROW-MINDED RULES kNOw you don't have to drink to be a real punk there's no authority in alcohol despite what they might say so never say you're sorry if you don't want to be drunk and know that they are cowards if they reject your different ways everyone can have their fun however they want right? so don't assume your way is best and don't pretend you can't hear my voice you can numb your jaded head or accomplish awesome things instead the value of punk is that autonomous choice RIGHT!!! (and I am out for that autonomous choice...) I saw another kid confused by "peace punks" wearing bullet belts and every implement of atrocity while they claim to detest war yeah I used to say "righteous" instead of saying "cool" but now I'm back to "RADICAL" so DOGMA PUNX FUCK YOU! bullets are more than toys in a world beyond these cliques they're made to kill in this real world INSPIRE FEAR! IMPERIAL FORCE! wearing only images of what you supposedly hate what's the average observer going to assume you endorse? why would you pressure people with such a de-fanging fashion? and they're "making punk a threat again" HOW? by popularizing alienation and alcoholism... I want more than a pose or fake formula rage let punk be liberation not a miserable cage a life philosophy based on living your own way the anti-dogma! you define The Shit Punx Hate
