TURNCOAT COLLECTIVE LYRICS

"Occupy Nothing"

when i woke up this morning and lit up my cigarette, the first thoughts that went through my head were ones of regret, and if i could tell you how to change anyone else, then i would probably know how to stop hating myself because everything i say just contradicts the things i do, and it’s not that i don’t believe in all the things i preach to you. i would do things on my own if i had the means, but you know that i get ill if i can’t brush my fucking teeth. what happened to a culture of self-sufficiency? did they all grow up, or did they forget how to breath? as much as i would love to stand up against corporate greed, there are just so many god damn things that i think i need. now, i see all these people camping in the streets. they’re out to make a difference and make sure that everyone eats because they know our world is run by global profiteers, and capitalist bankers who set foreign policies. as much as i would love to see the occupy movement succeed, we’ve go to learn to fight police if we want to be free. there are 4000 fucking people in a cage just for trying to usher freedom into this new age… and their propagandha says that freedom isn’t free and fight for your country and be all you can be. well, freedom isn’t something that should have a fucking price. freedom is the power for your own laws to suffice… and it’s a punk rock song i hear fills me up with hope, and it’s the anarchists of oakland who fill me up with hope, and it’s a global movement that fills me up with hope, and it’s a mass awareness that fills me up with hope, and it’s young hitchhikers who fill me up with hope, and it’s the same train-hoppers who fill me up with hope… and it’s the counter-culture that fills me up with hope… and it’s people like you who fill me up with hope…
