All I ever wanted Is trouble from the streets I´m nothing like you I love the trouble from the streets You can´t get out of my mind The trouble from the streets I don´t need your money just Trouble from the streets I don´t want to be like you All you want is to get ahead Congratulation you reached your score Now you waste your time for your company your kids just know the pictures of you Look in the mirror and ask yourself Is this really what you want All I ever wanted Is trouble from the streets I´m nothing like you I love the trouble from the streets You can´t get out of my mind The trouble from the streets I don´t need your money just Trouble from the streets Twenty years later you are just a lonesome guy While you made the deal of your life You didn’t notice that you lose everything Your kids and wife turned from you away The big house and your expensive cars Don’t replace your loss Look in the mirror and ask yourself Is this really what you want

Every day the same old game In your forty-hour hell Get up in the morning, go to work, go to sleep It is a never ending rat race And every day the marmot greets We waste our life for their factory This is a song for the working class Who don´t belong to the upper-class Always remember one thing You don´t need your boss, Your boss needs you So strike back and take back your life The whole life we get prepared for this Give in or get excluded Institutions learn how to fit in An assimilated life in a lifeless society Everyone becomes a number Just a screw in your system This is a song for the working class Who don´t belong to the upper-class Always remember one thing You don´t need your boss, Your boss needs you So strike back and take back your life

Still here 02:41
Sometimes I wish I could turn back the time Back to the days when we were young punks I remember the energy of a big new thing I could not guess what it mean for the rest of my life We felt like we owned the world But time left a mark and I started to think This is my culture, this is my way of life I´m one of the wolves, you can’t get it out of me I will always be proud of what I am It feels like glory, don´t be like you People come and people go, Not everyone could resist the norm But I´m still here, it makes me sick Old faces act like fools Sit down in the pubs, drink and smile While you spread your racist shit Don´t you realize you’re the leaver That let the society tilt to the right This is my culture, this is my way of life I´m one of the wolves, you can’t get it out of me I will always be proud of what I am It feels like glory, don´t be like you

Barking Dogs 02:30
You think you know the truth The uncrowned king of everything You talk and write before you think Don´t you realize that you act like a fucking fool? It makes me sick to see That everybody follows your words Why you don’t look behind these lies And why do you don´t think for yourself I know life is much easier to live it your way You see in yourself a rebel I just see a herd of lambs When I meet you in the streets You wind like a fish on the hook Why you don’t look behind these lies And why do you don´t think for yourself I know barking dogs don’t bite I know some day we’ll meet you in the night

Your hands in chains for your believes Locked up away from friends and family Powerless and isolated is how you feel now Depression is the result of your repression Here inside you are nothing and they give a damn about you Into imposed exile, you run Between the grids, the sun In freedoms back, the knife Behind the walls, your life We get accused for our believes Look up, everybody could be the next Paranoia or necessary attention is what we must keep apart Here inside you are nothing and they give a damn about us Into imposed exile, you run Between the grids, the sun In freedoms back, the knife Behind the walls, your life

Bad times come and bad times go All what happened fade away I have to choose how to deal with life Don't worry about me, I'm quite alright Life knocks you hard, defend yourself It turns from bad to worst now In my head there's just one way To keep my head up high, to keep the frame Don't worry, don't worry about me, I'm quite alright I covered my tears into rage Behind black curtains I want to hide my tears Grief becomes to rage and anger turns to grouch Don't worry, don't worry about me, I'm quite alright I want to leave this rat race Surrounded by unaffected machines Taciturned and jaded, it drives me insane I want to tear the walls inside my head I don´t want to be a part of your society Don't worry, don't worry about me, I'm quite alright I covered my tears into rage Behind black curtains I want to hide my tears Grief becomes to rage and anger turns to grouch Don't worry, don't worry about me, I'm quite alright

Get in your boots and pull the laces tight Tonight it´s time for some rash and roll Dress smart and fight hard Smash the greyzone out of our scene Zero tolerance for nazi sympathy Zero tolerance for sexist scum Zero tolerance for fucking boneheads Oi! Oi! - we will fight back RASH - revolution RASH - Skinheads black and red Against all stereotypes and medias lies It´s more than just short hair With a clear mind and the desire for change A pocket full of hate at the edge of society Zero tolerance for nazi sympathy Zero tolerance for sexist scum Zero tolerance for fucking boneheads Oi! Oi! - we will fight back RASH - revolution RASH - Skinheads black and red

The cover shows a photography of the ’Battle of Cable Street’. It took place at the 4th October 1936 in East London. The British Union of Fascists under the leadership of Oswald Mosley wanted to march through Whitechapel, an area with a big Jewish community.
Antifascist workers – anarchists, communists, Jewish and socialists – demonstrated against this provocation and started to build barricades. The police escorted the fascists and tried to enable their march. The workers struck back with stones and barricades. Many battles begun and workers were injured.
In fear of a violent collision the fascists decided to interrupt their march.
Around 200 000 workers fought the reaction this day. 150 of them were arrested but through acts of solidarity some of them could escape.

The Battle of Cable Street, the barricades and the phrase “They shall not pass” became a myth in the left winged scene. Not the violence of this day should be glamorized but the act of solidarity between the workless and working class – among anarchists, trade unionists, communists, Jewish and immigrants – fighting against reaction.

The Battle of Cable Street shows that even the driest desert has some flowers – anarchist organizations like the CNT-FAI or Mujeres Libres during Spanish civil war, revolutionary workers in Kronstadt fighting the authoritarian communist party in Russia or the Kurdish revolutionaries fighting for liberty and autonomy these days.

THEY SHALL NOT PASS

Sexism, homo-, trans*-, biphobia, racism and other oppressive attitudes get more and more attractive and were always part of this subculture, so it's necessary to fight for an emancipatory subculture. Driven by the ideas of DIY and anger about those habits we decided to found a band in summer 2016. ... more
