No posting USSR anthem, too obvious. Most of 9 to 5ers Anthem by Aesop Rockis just certified anti-work banger lines.
minus-squareCromalin [she/her]hexbear12·edit-23 years agoDead Kennedys have some good ones The Landlord's here to visit They're blasting disco down below Says "I'm doubling up the rent Cause the building's condemned You're gonna help me buy City Hall" But we can, you know we can But we can, you know we can Let's lynch the landlord man I tell him "turn on the water" I tell him "turn on the heat" Tells me "All you ever do is complain," yeah Then they search the place when I'm not here But we can, you know we can Let's lynch the landlord Let's lynch the landlord Let's lynch the landlord man Let's Lynch The Landlord Problem is few care About the people in despair If you help no one You're guilty in this hellnation It's the only world we've got. Let's protect it while we can. That's all there is and there ain't no more Hellnation When pesticides get banned, we're safe up north We'll just sell them to those other countries Soon there's lots of exotic deformed babies Somehow that's not our fault And I wonder - yeah, I wonder Why so many insects around us feed off the dead Death squads, starvation Foreign aid? Just leave it to the magic of the marketplace A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch The symbols of our heritage lit up proudly in the night Somehow fits to see the homeless people passed out on the lawn So this is where it happens, the power games and the bribes All lobbying for a piece of ass of the stars and stripes of corruption America's back, alright, at the game it plays the worst Strip mining the world like a slave plantation No wonder others hate us and the Hitlers we handpick To bleed their people dry for our evil empire The drug we're fed to make us like it is God and country with a bang People we know who should know better Howl "America rules, let's go to war!" Business scams are what's worth dying for But are the Soviets our worst enemy? We're destroying ourselves instead Who cares about our civil rights as long as I get paid The blind me-generation doesn't care if life's a lie So easily used, so proud to enforce the stars and stripes of corruption Thank you for the toilet paper, but your flag is meaningless to me Look around, we're all people, who needs countries anyway? If we don't try, if we just lie If we can't find a way to do better than this, who will? Stars and Stripes of Corruption link
