now it seems what you wear is a cotton ideology
or a homespun philosophy from a grown up autonomy
but you are not alone like a festival line-up
with claws to find a tree that they want you to climb up
I'm not hung-up on thrift stores but I feel a little better
spending cheddar on a used-button upper sweater
I won't say stop buying cause it isn't realistic
you're caught because you wanna
make your own damn decisions

Dead man, dead man, don't cry
Dead man, dead man, don't cry
When you die it ain't the end --
it ain't the end when you die.

Dead man, dead man, be brave
Dead man, dead man, be brave
You shall be saved, by and by --
by and by, you shall be saved.

Dead man, dead man, believe
Dead man, dead man, believe
You're a free man at last --
at last, dead man, you are free.

Dead man, dead man, don't cry
Dead man, dead man, don't cry
When you die it ain't the end --
it ain't the end when you die.

I forgot, then reconfirmed, that
life can be fine if you make it sacred
...
a little bit of melancholy
never really did hurt anybody
even if it's a sickness, I'm oddly convinced
at least it's honest
when life gets so tragic, comic
a mattress with no sheets on it
the fact is you have it
the task is to want it

Action must be taken
We dont need the key
We'll break in
...
Yes, I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams.

You aim for the highest peaks, the brightest streets
Gonna be a star
With a beautiful voice, you're such a pretty thing
But Marianne, what good is a corpse if it cannot sing?

In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
...
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon pass
Whatever it is

Never fell in love
until i fell in love with you
Never know what a good time was until i had a good time with you
If you wanna get the feeling and you wanna get it right
Then the music gotta be loud
for when the music hits i feel no pain at all
...
When i got the music
i got a place to go

Every baby cries the same -
It doesn't matter if they're big
It doesn't matter if they're small
If they come from the city
Or from those places rural
It doesn't matter if they're lonely
Or taken care of, yeah
It doesn't matter if they're mad
Or if they're happy or glad
Baby, everywhere i've ever been
All around this world
I've seen all kinds of babies,
Both boys and girls
But baby one thing that i've definitely seen
Is that, at least to me,
Every baby cries the same
It doesn't matter if they're rich
It doesn't matter if they're poor
Doesn't matter if they're sophisticated
Or if they're all country
at least to me, at least to these ears
every baby cries the same.

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
'Cause I know I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch

Minor Threat [EP]

Curiosity, Kitten,
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
...
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don't want to waste your life
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
Change, change, change

I don't care whatever you do,
I just care that you'll be true.
If you want to be a cowboy, then that's what you do.
There's a horse somewhere waiting for you.

You can be what you want to be.
You can be whatever you see.
Whatever in this world makes you happy.
Don't listen to them listen to me.
...
go my dear and believe you me,
its not so frightening to be free.

This is the time that we all should live as one, brothers.
This is the time that we all should live as one, sisters.
We must live as one,
Coz two wrongs can never make a right.
Look into the age that we're living in today, brothers.
Look into the age that we're living in today, sisters.
So come along brothers,
And come along sisters.

when you dance, dance
fall on the floor
it's an unusual move.
it's better not to think
to plan, or design
move however you move.

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I stand my ground and I won't back down.
