Liner Notes
🚨WARNING, LOUD 🚨
I keep answering my own questions during this process. I asked in the Extreme Teen RVA FAWM Discordâ„¢, how I can write sincere when that's not my usual thing. The answer -- at least the easiest answer for me -- is punk. Sooo, a screamy song.
About the obvious stuff right now.
Lyrics
They voted red They waved the flag The raids come down Vanished a whole town
No warrant stop No crime in sight Just their skin In the morning light
How could this happen here? How could this happen here? You pulled the lever, You live with it.
Where were you born? Where were you born? Freedom dies with the wave of a flag.
Where were you born? Where were you born? Where were you born? Where were you born?

Embraced the singe on this one! I think this is the right sentiment everyone should be walking around with
I'm guessing you don't live in a townhouse? 😂 Or have very tolerant neighbours... but yes, we're all learning a lot about how fascism happens now eh? Reminds me a bit of the old Atari Teenage Riot, with a bit of Black Midi.
yes, the sincerity is definitely in the house with us i listened to this so many times in a row.
This is an epic performance, yet so close and intimate a feeling. Had to listen multiple times because it’s such a powerful minute of time. Needed it today.
This is awesome omg, I’m so jealous that you can just record a hardcore punk track like this and have it sound good.
I can't imagine calling this lazy... I'm tired just listening to it. I mean that in an impressed way, heh.
"Freedom dies with the wave of a flag" is so good. I'm not sure if that's some cool quote I should already know, but fuck if it doesn't give me fascistic goosebumps.
First
You put to voice perfectly these lyrics and all the WTF they contain. Such traumas and terror being perpetrated on innocent people all in the service of what...
