lyrics

HOW FAR DOES IT GO?

packed with people in the name of punk
the show goes down and the drink gets drunk
in the name of unity songs get sung
and happily feeling this is where it begun

and a relative normality sets in
this is how its always been
yet once its over the facts come in
people got stabbed as we lived the dream

its a horror story of retaliation
some dead romantic situation
local friends called into a scene
where its still ok to dress to look mean

and fights break out and knives get used
and 3 or 4 peoples lives get screwed
and the cops do what theyre paid to do
and the face of the enemy gets confused

who are we as a collective noun
if even once this shit goes down?
is our unity a shadow of faith
to be crushed when reality takes its place?

can we stand and be counted as pacifists
when arguments lead to knives not fists
and fists instead of open debate
or getting less pissed before we relate

being individual, right or wrong
is a prize to be won not by being strong
but by allowing the freedom for others to say
i disagree- this is my way

as weak as it sounds its all down to words
the reactions when thoughts get heard
and really, fuck it if you hurt some feelings
cos theres 3 or 4 punks in hospital bleeding
...possibly to death
what have we gained?
and what is left?
