TODAY'S EMPIRES, TOMORROW'S ASHES
Mate Ka Moris ukun Rasika An 1
Coglionazzi shooting shit in packs and in single file. College of the first world and prairie skinheads Never ride a mile or mourn u n dead friend killed in these shoes woman 2 . Finish your drink and grumble insults. I'm still humbled of everything: more or less the same time when I was driving with no hands, broken windows and I was working behind the stadium (with Labonte's older sister wrapped in his costume), Bella bumped to the bite of Depo Proveran for purposes of "family planning" ... His personal Pearl Harbor, a holocaust that has lasted for 25 years. A prison that my country has guaranteed paradise. And in the shadows of Santa Cruz, crossed his fingers behind his back. He built a Trojan horse for Suharto and waited until the son of a bitch is not sent to the north, and there, at dusk, came up with a box under his arm that included her oath of allegiance and his uniform. Placed him at the gates of the consulate general and, while disappeared, his whisper echoed in the dawn: "The truth will free my people."
This song was inspired by the true story of Bella Gahlos. We met in Winnipeg in 1997, during an initiative of the East Timor Alert Network organizzta charity. Have crossed our path with her experience was mortifying. This is his story:
Gahlos Bella is one of three East Timorese refugees in Canada. He was only three years old when Indonesia invaded his country. His two younger brothers were beaten to death and his father was put in jail when the Indonesian military went into his house in January 1976. After the Dili massacre, her older brother was imprisoned and brutally tortured for having produced a shirt that says "Free East Timor" which had been worn by some demonstrators.
Although he concentrated on his personal experience as a young survivor of the occupation Indonesian Bella also condemned the complicity of the U.S. invasion and occupation of East Timor and the continuing military and economic support of the U.S. government to the brutal regime of Suharto.
In his speeches, Bella has often told of forced sterilization of Timorese women and girls in Indonesia, an experience that you have experienced on their own. He was only thirteen when the soldiers entered his school and asked all the girls to line up after forcing the boys to leave the room.
" We were told we had to do an injection to stay healthy," he explained. "I was afraid, I did not trust them. Five of them had to restrain myself, and had to work hard. Then they came to my house that week and made me another injection. "
Much later, with the help of Bishop Belo, she discovered that she and her classmates had been injected with Depo-Provera (a contraceptive drug) .
Bella also spoke of how she had lived in constant fear of being raped: "Women in East Timor are raped all the time by the military. You enter the house and force you to do it. "
Bella began to work with the underground resistance in 1989, helping to organize demonstrations and convincing other women to become actively involved in the movement. In 1991, Bella helped organize the peaceful march to the cemetery of Santa Cruz, Dili. When the Indonesian military opened fire on demonstrators, Bella took refuge with his pregnant aunt on the walls of the cemetery. More than 250 of his friends were not so lucky and were brutally killed in the massacre.
aftermath of the massacre, Bella became wards of the Indonesian youth to mask his involvement in the event. For three years, the Indonesian authorities trained to fight against their own people. During this time, Bella secretly used his military salary to help the resistance movement.
In 1994, after months of questions and instructions, the Indonesian government Bella chose to represent the young people of East Timor in the global program for the youth of Canada. He was well trained to speak to the Canadian media and to represent the "typical" young Timorese according to the version desired by the propaganda machine of Suharto: educated, successful and inclusive.
After his arrival in Canada, Bella defected with the help of his uncle, Constancio Pinto, who had fled from East Timor shortly after the massacre Dili. Since then, Bella has perfected her English turned to Canada to plead the cause of freedom in his country.

Fuck the border
A friend of mine wrote me two lines that say: "Dude, I run in the U.S.. I have no money and no job. " It's gone from Mexico in order to survive. Do you mind the fact that he came to live here, but what the fuck did you do to help before it arrived? What did the country? What did the people? I'm not with my country, but with people all over this fucking world. No fences, no boundaries. Freedom of movement for all. Fuck the border. Now it's fucking time to treat people with respect. They are our culture and our consumption to make her life unbearable. Fuck this country, his eyes grim, with its hordes of robots. Legal or illegal, watch it go, dick. You take what is his. Look at her go, dick. Fuck the border.
Acuna people must remain in the country in which they live and fight for their lives while others are forced to flee to survive. Companies continually crossing international borders in search of people to exploit for profit and no one can stop them. They call it globalization. Victims of corporate rule, however, is that they can not cross the borders to seek a better life, and are forced to stay and deal with the mess the social, economic and environmental companies leave behind when com ' it is inevitable, moving their operations to places with a more "favorable business climate" (ie: lower wages, elastic environmental laws, tax breaks). Apparently, capitalism and human rights do not mix.
The empires of today, tomorrow's ashes
canvases tangled weave that extend from Pine to Ruby Ridge, by the defeat of Shay up to Gustafsen 3 ( and now full steam ahead with the compilation of sheep-ass, Commissioners and assholes to stifle this vaguest threat of heretics gays and communists ). Conclusion: the nail that sticks out is hammered got 4 best tools and master them are dazed and Paciosi in a cacophony of billboards screaming and history disneyficata 5 . Sometimes the ties that unite us are strange: no justice shines no light on the cemetery plots marked Hampton, 6 Weaver 7 or Anna-Mae, 8 on which the federal agencies and the Brotherhood have thrown their shadow permanent marks imprinted on these lands. But under the coverage of the usual difference between History and Truth, the Founding Fathers bask nell'accecante red glow of the rocket. And the bombs bursting in air. A nation. Indivisible? The truth is that when he learned of the inland ratification , the People solemn funeral procession carried in a coffin painted black and buried deeply in the land as a symbol of dissolution and the cancellation of its Freedom Public 9 . Someday, somewhere, the empires of today will be tomorrow's ashes.
I return to the Motor League 10
I like to celebrate fucking strong. I also like rock and roll. I do not give a fuck if I burn. I do not give a fuck if I turn it off. So back to the Motor League 11 with me before it is forced to face the anger of a wealthy paying public who lives indirectly through the collegiate rock artists and tormented the brew of punch that big boy on the floor. 12 I'm going back to the Motor League. I once thought I had gone well. But in the end it was just an unexploded grenade atteggioni of "anarchists" and shaved heads of the mother, threats death 13 sycophants and cock drunk on the right path. 14 Fuck. Who cares? I prefer to complete road map that listen to your crap. Fuck. Who cares for your stupid scenes, your shitty magazines, men of straw that you built to burn? I'll never cease to amaze me, and suffer while your perfection it reminds me I have gone to my sad story made raddirzzare Foot in mouth, 15 hats eaten 16 bulls with her tits , 17 telephone Amish 18 alcoholic rage. But what have we here? After 15 years there is still reeks of conformity sbrodacchiosi cagasotto and with fists to the sky, the father, like son "rebels" stuffed with Korn, and eminems bizkits. 19 Lord, grant our prayer: take back public pogante 20 of Your Amy Grant 21 and your policy of "all okay. " Fonami inforcami hair and a ten-speed bike. I return to the Motor League. I think life is just a popularity contest. Success: the ability to function in a system of obedience. Ask the sugary instant rock band from selling shoes on behalf of venture capitalists, 22 silencing competitors and rounding the rough edges. 23 Today is a good day to die.
Natural Disasters 24
In the name of which god we will be killed? Who is the most fair? Who is the most terrified? When your parents have left home, we slipped into their room, to the drawer beside the bed. We pulled out the dildo glistening. On one hand, childless couples, the other Jesus Neither hedonistic nor atheists. Practitioners. Parents of the block. 25 I wonder what's lurking in the drawers of the neighbors. The purest hide everything. This is our "society in decline? These are married. And the others? Do not condemn your life to be ill-treated by shame. The hands of all cause natural disasters.
With friends like these, who the fuck is COINTELPRO? 26
With friends like these, who the fuck is COINTELPRO? 27 are dazed by the hail of rotten iron fist in a velvet glove. Cheshire grins. 28 The devastating Judas kiss you vara, ship sinking. The purpose of this new effort is controspionistico expose, destroy, distract, discredit or otherwise neutralize any parade you can not get to the head. All the long years of work that are not your . Sometimes I wonder if you just can not do it alone? There bloodthirsty vultures circle patiently fly. They offer condolences (and whisper bitter eulogies). Yes, here come the "comrades" thick as thieves. But you deserve much more. With friends like these, who the fuck is COINTELPRO?
Albright Monument, Baghdad
the younger sister's best friend in real Wadia denied a funeral because for two days not able to extinguish the flames that Allied planes had caused it to rain on his little body minutes. And all the paper trails that lead all the roads leading to all these Basra make us all look like "collateral damage" waiting to be realized in some unexpected budget simulation Pentagon. The Baathist regime of today is only the Red Scare dell'altroieri. And I drink myself to sleep because I start to believe that we will never be anything but reluctant humanitarian aid; the moving parts in a machine of death, questioning its complicity but wait for someone else to throw their bodies on the gears in motion. I drink myself to sleep because I start to believe that we, here in Cradle of the influent , we can not put an end to this search for individual strength through the flying fists of state power, Never look back and laugh the irony inherent in the fact that atomic a murderess is revered in Independence, USA , while 8000 miles from here (back in the cradle of Democracy) is another year to remember for domestic industry. 29 A ritual corner between George and Constantine - while you bump Foundry to reforge his decapitated monument.
ordinary people do ordinary bullshit when bullshit became 30
Words can not do justice to the pain. It is as if they were able to convey a feeling. Ordinary people do crap when the bullshit become common. I can not promise utopia or a better world. I have no clever lures. Neither harsh punishment if they do not bite. It is a world of shit or anything. There is no escape from disappointment. When you give yourself body and soul to earn a position, someone else will have to cheer. What you can do? You can be the one to beat them to death and hanged. When you make out the bodies, you'll see the face of your failure and your shame. This is a world of licensed liars: a bleating chorus watered down the truth, like bells that repeat continuously rintoccanti its virtues. Rot on the bottom is better than living like a fool. I can not find the meaning in the great conquest. When you give yourself body and soul to earn your place, opportunity kills common sense.
night's women Perdentopoli
downs the fifth and spits out a greek translation *. She mutters "how many other crap you have left? I have served up this crap about 'free speech' and 'thought police' 31 as if I had to sit and swoon " 32 . It takes another three laps before the topic changes, and that while she decreed: "Fuck Larry Flynt 33 and all the campaigns that want to silence the women who assert themselves and reacting. I aim to enjoy, so spare me your 'repression' of shit. I aim to enjoy 34 . Fuck your Benedicta Trinity 35 . I'm so tired of prick and first amendment (selective) 36 . I think, drink and fuck you all more than 37 , so fuck your fucking bullshit on the 'Femme-Nazi' 38 , no prick put me to silence. I aim to enjoy. "

I am the pope 39
" Live like an angel, die like a devil" 40 . Do not worry, we're all here together. We are all here: heathens, heretics, kids with blue socks. I asked some questions and the answers I was not satisfied. It seems that non-compliance is the greatest crime ever 41 . But we are all here: King Diamond , Todd's mom, fallen angels, the decimated cultures, the kid in the corner with sweatpants. We find our SRAD.
New homes for slackers 42
Suburbs tremble again, afraid of the have-nots that face to collect what they deserve. Guns and alarms are not enough. They demand justice, and that every criminal is locked up, as well as every boy who could do something wrong. There's a jail out of town with fences high enough that we do not think about who's in it. The neighbors disappear behind bars. The kids end up in for zemis insignificant. No matter who they are. No matter that they are alive. A deposit of victims of circumstance. The policemen gather slaves, workers who can not complain or be late. A workforce behind bars. Make gadgets, circuits or machine repair. No matter who they are. No matter that they are alive. Crime pays, ask the bankers to issue bonds to build cages, rather than schools, for the "slackers" the suburbs. Factories with fences meet prisons without walls. We will have your heads. They will slam to the ground. You will work yet, but inside.
Political Cazzari
Every fucking day our cities tell us what they think of justice. Subkey bring the brave cordardi while plastering the cracks that widen on the monolith. But if this man will not be freed, this city will burn. "On this Memorial Day we do not kneel and pray for the dead. Stand up and let's get to the living, to save those who are about to die " the hands of politicians Cazzari; swollen minidotati motherfuckers who bow and genuflect on the seats of power. You never learn anything and nothing will ever change until we will keep this bad habit because of followers and slaves. I can not believe it is enough to stir even the same old decks of kings, queens and fake democracies. I say we return it to the politicians Cazzaro. Brick by brick, wall to wall.
March of the crabs 43
We held tough waiting it began the battle. Squeezed my eyes to the sun, while I was wondering if you would be done under or have fled. Do not tell lies: boxcutters in my socks, they will all die. Tensions arise. Preadolescents shaman on the hill like flies. Have ready the coffins, we will smash the city. That's if the anger, boredom, alcohol will not intercept this north end horde. Who am I? I fight a war that can not win. I am full of things we try to hide. Never leave anyone behind. Fierce reaction that takes you across the face. For one last chance, we leave this place. We all pack up and go away. I had a war in my head. I fear that our lives do not go down in history as major events. A better prospect lies ahead. The feeling in the air? We have been crushed beyond oblivion. Farce and death walk hand in hand. Tombs and memory walls bear the names of my family. Pills and bottles do the same. I hope that freedom is coming our way.
The battle there ever was. The crowd disappeared. We returned everyone back home. Mission accomplished.
Purina Hall of Fame 44
Masters sleeping in houses surrounded by flames awakened from their beds. Sleeping boys rescued from deadly waters: ribbons, plaques and coaxing are the ephemeral rewards granted to the slaves whose selfless acts of giving greater value to their masters, while parting gifts (in front of pistol) console each other, the leftovers. 45 Unfortunately, as we know, the homage paid to screw those who renounce their thrones in the past to evaluate the second place, are neither fleeting nor desirable. 46 But nothing surprises me in this time. I sit watching the freight cars that pass, and wait. Patient. Unattended. A package under a bench station. A short fuse to blow up everything, firm hands if you do not remember that better lives have been lived on the margins, locked in prisons andoff the gallows, not incense in those buildings.
1 "Independence or death" (motto of Timorese demonstrators East).
2 "mourn a dead friend killed in these women's shoes" this allusion is not clear to me either ... the only idea that comes to mind is that the "women's shoes" may be those of a refugee spoken of in the song, which unlike the "coglionazzi" of the previous verses (ie young Westerners), has to mourn murder victims among his many friends.
3 are all places that were the theater of violent clashes between the U.S. government and private individuals (activists, Native Americans, etc...)
4 Japanese proverb.
5 "In a cacophony of screaming billboards and disneyficata history": the "billboard screaming" are those of advertising, "disneyficata history" are the stories we tell to make us believe that everything goes well (the "disneyfication" there's also a Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyfication) . It is a way of saying that those in power use the media and propaganda to keep us good and to use us as a means to achieve their goals ("master of the best tools you can find them ...").
6 Fred Hampton, leader of the Black Panthers in Chicago, killed by police in 1969 while he slept in his bed "in an execution-style death squad."
7 The Weaver family, the victim of the massacre at Ruby Ridge that killed precisely his wife and son of Randy Weaver, a supremacist bianco.Vinse after the cause for the murder of his family, the FBI dropped three million dollars.
9 "When he learned of ratification the hinterland ..." I found this passage (almost literally, perhaps Propagandhi did just a citation) of a book which speaks of the episode Coffin - http://books.google.it/books?id=EFSbwGk2szgC&pg=PA252&lpg=PA252&dq=coffin+painted+black+ratification&source=bl&ots=qzL_3kBVIT & , Mr = O6CLxHIPS4FmtD2lemBnBS-g2IY & hl = en & ei = KMRdSomOBYOOnQOKrL2FAQ & sa = X & s = book_result & ct = result & resnum = 2 - and you understand that this is the ratification of the Constitution of the United States.
10 Propagandhi I say that most people conform to what bands do or how they pose, dress etc. (Example Nofx hate Bush because they do, because a lot of bands wear Vans have the punk), but they do not want to be a role model but a "catalyst" that invites you to really know the reality that we live by themselves to develop their ideas.
11 former place of work by Chris, the singer.

18 The Amish do not use the phone.
19 I KoЯn and Limp Bizkit are two nu metal band. There is also a pun based sull'assonanza with "corn", "M & M'S" and "biscuits", "stuffed with corn, M & M'S and biscuits."
20 Lett "mosh-crews" (the mosh is similar to pogo dance, performed in concert heavy metal and punk rock).
21 singer of Christian music.
22 Allusion to the Warped Tour, a musical event sponsored by the Vans shoe.
23 "Jagged edges" lifestyle opposed to the straight edge.
24 "Natural Disaster" could be a reference to all those televangelist who claim that natural disasters (tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc..) Are the result of a punishment from God to the delinquency sessuali.Per an example of such a Jerry Falwell suggested that Hurricane Katrina was divine punishment for gays and lesbische in an area such as that which occurred when there is a high percentage of questi.Dicendo the end that "all hands cause natural disasters," says that even the purest and Christian saint may have or have fantasies of sexual behavior considered immoral, disgusting or rude, so even those who condemn certain deviation in the end he may be the first to cause natural disasters ...
25 The Block Parent Program is a voluntary kind in Canada for the families who offer their help and hospitality to their neighbors in distress or in danger. The activities carried out by members are aimed primarily at safeguarding children.
26 This song seems to speak of their friends who betray him or even if they disagree with him say the 'idea with inazione.Insomma The FBI did not need any program to stop these dissidents because his friends already do a good job in the shoe alone.
27 The COINTELPRO ( Counter Intelligence Program ) was a program of infiltration and counter inside of ' FBI active between 1956 and 1971. His goal was to neutralize (with illegal methods) the growth of radical movements (especially left and African American).

29 Terrorism in Iraq.
30 Many people would like to make a "revolution" just to be popular or just for attenzione.Questa song says that fighting the system should not be done for the prestige or popularity, but real change, a true revolutionary is selfless.
31 The anti-feminists often accuse feminist critiques of porn to be against freedom of speech.
32 Some intellectuals to impress men with their noble language citation and maybe bringing feminist rants.
33 pornographer Larry Flint is a sexist who vementemente opposed to feminism.
34 feminists, especially those who oppose pornography, are accused of being sexually repressed and opposite sex
35 It refers to the holy trinity (as Christianity sees the woman as inferior) and perhaps is a metaphor for male genitalia.
36 "First Amendments selective" publisher Larry Flint appealed to the First Amendment (which provides for freedom of the press) to justify the publication of the pornographic magazine Hustler, looking at this way of "silencing women who assert themselves and reacting " (Ie feminists), or denying them freedom of speech, which is also enshrined in the First Amendment.
38 "fem-Nazi" is a pejorative term created by Rush Limbaugh to describe feminists.
39 E 'wrong to suggest that a human can be superior to another so we all have the same fate (death), and heaven and hell are concepts irrilevanti.Molte people rely on religion to seek answers but eventually end up being more confused we do not need to prima.Noi instutuzionalizzate religions that show us how to lead a good life, we can live according to one of our own "code".

42 This song speaks of the galleys-industrial, a rapidly developing industry in USA.Con mass imprisonment in the politicians have a modern solution to the war on povertà.I prisoners in these complexes offer their work for nothing or for a sample of bassismo gain various products or services.
43 I the description seems a bit 'ironic and a bit' sad fact of the attempt by a group of young protestors to give off a guerrilla war or a riot. The first part describes the epic protagonist's desire for revolution, but it amounts to a hole in the last verse, which makes us understand how the youth group at the end did not have the courage to practice what they had in mind.
44 The "Purina Hall of Fame" is a recognition that with each year, the Purina (a famous manufacturer of pet food) rewards dogs and cats that are marked for particular acts of heroism, saving the lives of their masters and so on.
45 course refers to animals on farms, who are stunned before being killed with a gunshot to the head.
46 Sentence unclear. Probably alluding to the fact that, contrary to what happens to pets that fill of pampering and attention, with most other animals, and no one cares (the "second place"), is treated in a cruel (not " desirable ") and death (which, being short, it is obviously not" fleeting "as" ephemeral rewards' appointed shortly before).
