First thing's first, the main riff of the verses are p much Maxwell
Murder by Rancid. Even looked at song for some drum inspiration. I
don't know why this happened or how, but the first thing I made for
this song was the first verse, originally it was going to have an
opening yell that was a "call for punks" that was going to very similar
to the opening of "Citizen C.I.A. by Dropkick Murphys" but I decided
not many of the songs on this EP/album start without an intro so I felt
it best to drop it. The opening lines of this song stuck to me quite
I felt proud writing them, as I am quite new to songwriting. And a
melody stuck in my head inolving accents with guitar chords, just like
Maxwell Murder. I tried implementing the lines some other way to not be
"ripping off" but I gave up, it felt so satisfying saying the verses
how they are. So there it is, in it's full, unashamed glory.

So this song is p much a big summary of why my generation should see a
rise of punk bands. We have so much to be rightfully angry about. A ton
of our problems originate from the boomer generation. And I'm not one
to discriminate because of stereotypes or generallizing a group. But
either way, my generation has quite a lot to be angry over and I'm
voicing my opinion/informing others "hey, it's time to do something
about it."

The first line is a direct reference to Richard Spencer, and the defence
and tolerence of Nazis/white supremecists. Now, personally, I cannont
condone the initiation of violence, that's not me, and that's also
the unpopular opinion of the punk scene. I am not okay with white
supremacy or racism, nor the toleration of such. I don't want to be just
as bad as they are, I won't go to there level. Now if I see violence
being done because of hate/discrimination/racism I will not tolerate
such as that is quite un-American and not accepted here. I'll save the
debate of violence for another time.

The second line is a reference to Flint Michigan. People should not go
2 years without uncontaminated drinking water. Unacceptable. End of
story.

Now the next two lines are written from a stereotypial boomer's
perspective: someone that's unwilling to learn or accept climate change
or the general situation of the milleneal generation as a whole and
therefore not worrying about the future, cause they're going to die
before anything substantial happens. Climate change and the economy and
especially student debt is making the future of my generation a steeper
and steeper uphill climb. Congress term limits need to exist and we need
people there that are from the generation that is relevant. Which is
what the first half of the chorus refers to.

The second half of the chorus is the call to everyone, not just "punks"
but everyone. Punk is relevant and this is why. We need it.

Chris Chirstie closed the state parks in New Jersey due to "lack of
funding" or something on a holiday weekend. He used the beaches that he
closed as his personal family beach. He also has sympathized with
criminals. Most notable the ticket ponzie scheme which was reported on
after I wrote this song.

The next phrase is self explanatory, people are locked up for petty
amounts of weed and then rapists like Brock Turner are let go?
Injustice is why I'm angry and now I have to use my voice. I'm not
just writing down feelings, I feel as if it's my duty to do this.
Whether I'm good at it or not.

The rest of the song has been touched on already but here it is:

TL/DR;

I'm sick of injustice it's time to do something about it. And if that
means I'm immortalizing actions of people in song, so be it.
