Stranger than fiction, Darker than death, Cattle herded to their doom Barrels of bullshit, Proud and grotesque, Fascists in the war room Ego and madness, Wrath and deceit, Some lessons can't be learned Spewing out words That are stuck on repeat, Let's make the tyrant burn 'Cause he's a... Bastard! Visage of apocalypse Coward! Bottom feeding nepotist Liar! On your words You will drown The hammer of justice Will strike you down! Disciple of darkness, Soul-less elite, Knuckle dragging creeper Holy Ghost harkens, A brain incomplete, Face of the reaper Stranger than fiction, Darker than death, Cattle herded to their doom Barrels of bullshit, Proud and grotesque, Fascists in the war room Freedom fighters! Torchbearers of revolution! Hear me! Generations of the future will inherit our every flaw, our crises. For their sake we must topple our nefarious leaders from their top heavy pedestals, exposing their every fraud. The power of the ideal is the impetus driving us toward inevitable revolution. It is the secret weapon of the masses. No cage may contain it. no obstacle may discourage it. no force may kill it. Ideals are invincible! The chains that you bind us with we will break. The cells you confine us with we will escape. The walls you divide us with we will topple. The systems you oppress with we will throttle

You really think you’re something special and great Self promoting always gloating always filled with hate Not one ounce of empathy, not one ounce of heart Talking so much to hide a shocking lack of smarts <CHORUS> Thought we were smart, thought we had heart, I’m appalled Thought we were smart, we’re not so smart A dummy building walls Small ego talking tall A phony awful president for one, not all There’s allegations that you’ve grabbed and raped and leered, So many lawsuits that you’ve somehow disappeared, Taking advantage of misogyny and fear, Racism and nepotism worked to get you here <CHORUS> Thought we were smart, thought we had heart, I’m appalled Thought we were smart, we’re not so smart A dummy building walls Small ego talking tall A phony awful president for one, not all Huge! Sad! Tremendous! Fake News! <CHORUS> Thought we were smart, thought we had heart, I’m appalled Thought we were smart, we’re not so smart A dummy building walls Small ego talking tall A phony awful president for one, not all

Fat gut with a little brain your ugly face has us going insane tiny hands and that fucking hair It was a joke but now I'm getting scared. Golden toilets, golden showers too come a little closer i can piss on you polluting forests and the water's doomed you got this nation running to it's tomb I aint got much more time for this shit donald trump you should be just a bit nervous Your ivory tower is gonna be painted black we're rising up and taking everything back Fancy cars while the nation starves you're only thinking about cakes to carve launching missiles but you don't even know to which country they are going to go Who gives a fuck when the taxes are due when you have sex slaves in your living room can't handle going any deeper let's cut the head off of our fearless leader

Apologies for this intrusion, but you don't know what you're talking about My disappointment is a forgone conclusion, but I can't figure that you'll figure it out Do you know what you're inviting, what you're inciting with the things that you claim? I've gotta question the intentions and motivations 'cause they seem kinda strange. It's only a matter of time Before it all unwinds And breaks your heart for good Apologies for this confusion, But I'm afraid that we have to insist. If you're under the delusion that this is greatness, well you'd better desist. It's only a matter of time Before It all unwinds And breaks your heart, And takes apart Everything that's good You know that we won't wait 'Cause we hate your hate!

On that fateful day they bought into all the lies This deception should come as no surprise Harkening back to the times of slavery So shameful in our troubled history Ask yourself, where do we go from here? Time has run out (We must take a stand) Resist oppression (In the face of tyranny) Stand proud, scream loud (Cause we're not giving in) It's up to us right now to look out for each other The abuse of power comes as no surprise To the marginalized and most deprived He preyed on all their deepest fears And told them what they want to hear Do they need to be told he's their enemy? Time has run out (We must take a stand) Resist oppression (In the face of tyranny) Stand proud, scream loud (Cause we're not giving in) It's up to us right now to look out for each other Progress will not be held hostage by ignorance Or resistance to information We won't go back to a fabled past False narratives riddled with injustices What kind of person do you want to be? Will you stand up and fight? Or will you go down quietly? Time has run out (We must take a stand) Resist oppression (In the face of tyranny) Stand proud, scream loud (Cause we're not giving in) It's up to us right now to look out for each other It's a woman's choice to decide Love is about who we are inside There's no question anymore that we're all one So ask yourself, what do I want my legacy to be? How will history view me? Do I possess a sense of empathy? We won’t go back Our reaction will define our generation

Wipe the dust out from your eyes. Sweep the floor inside your mind. Bullheaded demons have taken the reins. In this age of machines, Im a wide open plain. Since you're fire, I must be rain. Ive decided in my mind, that my breath is a protest to you. And even if I wanted to hate you, and sometimes I do. Theres already enough in you to sink the moon. And Ive tossed away the idea of fear, this is not a new frontier, your hate parade ends right here. So clear the dust out of your eyes. Sweep the floor inside your mind. Bullheaded demons have taken the reins In this age of machines Im a wide open plain. And since you're fire I must be rain.

Don’t feed me no line that I’ve heard before! I can’t take no more. I can’t take no more. Turned off my TV but it still gets in. All those sayin’s And all those daemons. At what point have you crossed the line, Have you harmed the quality of life? Do I have the right, To blow your fuckin’ brains out on the floor? “Keep yourself to yourself!” “Keep yourself to yourself!” Well that’s bull shit, You’re a herd animal and that’s it. They don’t know any better than you. Well, look me in the eye And you’ll see me rationalize All the violence in disguise And everyone’s just helpin’ themselves They don’t know any better than you. Don’t feed me no line that I’ve heard before! I can’t take no more. With Science and Religion wrapped in bold salesmen hype and Jim Crow Jr. is the strong silent type. At what point have we crossed the line, Have we harmed the quality of life, Do they have the right, To blow our fucking brains out on the floor? They don’t know any better than you, They don’t know any better than you, They don’t know any better than you.

He will not save you Duped by bluster and bigots They did not save you Humanity's self-inflicted downfall Count on yourself / Open your eyes Blinded by spite for him / Blinded by hate for her / Blinded by love for him Complicit to uphold your privilege and your power Devour the world to oblivion / Shameless bastards Bleeding the people like leeches / Clinging to all that is stolen He will not destroy us He will not destroy us He will not destroy us He will not destroy us Resist and fight

Something new, bleeding, born from the wastes Their eyes see our darkness just as it was They survived high Fly with the kings of yore No way out. They're thriving all on their own No need for us or our gods: profit and loss Made it all dark, melted it down into a fetid pool Cracked the mantle They survived high Fly with the kings of yore Their eyes see stardust floating in winds Feeding off escaping volcanic floes We carved a warning in the crust of the earth Assemble your masses Burn down the crown

Didn't expect a revolution, but I expected more than this. I wanted to use my voice, but instead I'll use my fists. It's darkest before the dawn, but not half as dark as inside can't start a revolution outside, until you start a revolution inside Enough talk, enough talk The time has come today Enough talk, enough talk Don't let fantastic become mundane Vengeance in my heart. And an insult on my lips You thought you knew what to expect. You expected nothing like this. Nice wont do, In a knife fight, don't forget to stand tall The way you knock down, a wall, Its just hammer, chisel, fall. Enough talk, enough talk The time has come today Enough talk, enough talk Don't let fantastic become mundane

This is only a fake song None of what we say matters These are alternative chords None of what we play matters It's gonna be great It's gonna be great A wall of sound filled with hate It's gonna be great It's gonna be great Believe me Here's the man who sold the world With an embroidered catchphrase Is this real life or Is this reality TV? It's gonna be huge It's gonna be huge We'll party with Vlad, Drink with The Nuge It's gonna be huge It's gonna be huge Believe me It's gonna be great... This is only a fake song None of what we say matters These are alternative chords None of what we play matter It's gonna be great...

(Verse 1) She said with a straight face "Men can make decisions better than us" This is a mother with a daughter Saying "that's how it always was" "Listened to father, never trusted mother you know how we get worked up" So who chose a man to represent them? 53% of all white women Excuses are done, I've heard every one (Chorus) If not now then when? Women! Men have had their chance! Stand up! Say "Enough!" Cuz we can overrun (Verse 2) This resentment, competition Who do you think egged that on? If we got together, held eachother up We'd prove them wrong Men are only stronger when a woman 's made to feel she's weak There's a shithead in the White House Who want's to just grab you, Bleed you and forget you Excuses are done, I've heard every one (Chorus) (Bridge) Don't you think we've been here before? Don't you think we're repeating ourselves? Gender's not a 'thing' anymore, And still I think we're repeating ourselves Girls have lived and died under someone's thumb And still think we're repeating ourselves Repeating ourselves Repeating ourselves Repeating ourselves Repeating ourselves (Chorus)

Are we living in the time of fascism Sit down, shut up Swallow your pills Follow only white lines New American Dream Sit back and lose to the loudest voice In the time of fascism truth is out of style Sit down, shut up Swallow your pills Follow only white lies You can use your voice You can be a target Paint a target on your back

If you had a box you’d stand on top of it ‘Cause every box you see’s an almost-stage Look at me, listen to me Look at me, all The League of Professional Celebrities is meeting down the hall Take the floor again, you shameless superstar You’ll let substance win some other day You live to make yourself the center of it all And you really don’t mind the sneers (The people, some, all, fool and time) The League of Professional Celebrities is meeting down the hall And otherwise discerning people go too long before they see what I called out Okay, I’m dark and I am petty and I’m cynical The League of Professional Celebrities is meeting down the hall And otherwise discerning people? They don’t have a clue at all

How did you escape from the famous deaths of the year? What you build doesn't apply to you. The sinking ship you won't steer. It's all too real now. But I still hold out faith. That we can always come back. We won't live with your fear. And I can't relate to you. I feel this rage for you. I wake up nervous. You seem to stir when I sleep. The days are getting stranger. It's all too much to keep. I have two kids now. A wife who cheated death. I fight for those who I care for. How do you cope with loneliness? And I can't relate to you. I feel this rage for you. And I lack all hope for you.

Our worst side is opened up to the public. Seen despite every chance to hide. Doubled down on ego-driven indifference. Gone to ground. The thread is gone. The con is on. One lie fits all. This tide proves nothing. This ride won't last long. Oversight takes the teeth of the beast out. Alive despite every fatal flaw. Cover blown he'll spend our cash on the backlash. Long disowned. With no regard the fall is hard. Long wind. Short sight. This tide proves nothing. This ride can't last long. It's all gone sideways on our watch. We take the bait and turn the lights out. With dead red eyes Crane your neck as you follow the steep red line that charts complicit rise to shame. (with apologies to Archers of Loaf)

A great idea will not catch-on (diabolical and dastardly) A great idea will not catch-on Its too practical and its too functional Unable to deprogram the untrainable, always justifiable (Diabolical and dastardly, unbound by any conscience)

It's so curiously dreadful So dreadfully curious How fast we fall How normal it all becomes Beggar's bliss - as we scamper after the command How bland To see those we once thought lions Eat from your hand Most people are monstrously good We do every thing we thought we would It's time For some terrific Problems Just the best This emolument monument Wants you to fall fast Wants you to tremble and cower But hey Mister, here come's history Here comes our finest hour It's time For some terrific Problems Just the best

This should be over now This should be over now This, this should be Hollywood This should be shot on site for your entertainment tonight This, this should be Hollywood Hollywood This should be holy land This should be holy land This should be Hollywood This should be, Ha ha ha Hollywood

about

16 songs by 16 bands recorded at Howl Street Recordings in Milwaukee, WI from April 21-23, and 11 other songs contributed from anti-Trump musicians across the Midwest and elsewhere.

As with UNINTIMIDATED, each band that recorded at Howl Street had 2 hours to record their track to achieve maximum urgency. Once the two hours were up, it was time to clear out for the next band.

All proceeds from the downloads of this compilation go towards Planned Parenthood and local Milwaukee soup kitchens. We do not profit off political shitheads.

The money we raise may be a drop in the bucket, but enough drops together can create a flood. Make your drop count.

Thanks.
