Thousands of condemned homes
Every corner, churches and liquor stores
All I need is a match and some gasoline

"Now, into wealth and privilege I was not born
But a devotion to freedom and liberty I was sworn
So every emotion is studied, watched and controlled
Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets rolled
So transmitter beams my coordinates anywhere on earth
And as radio waves surveillance, satellite burst
Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in
Crack open the cranium and let awareness begin"

— Tim 'Timebomb' Armstrong, Rancid, "Arrested in Shanghai"

You know what I'd do

"Well if they tried
Maybe they'd see
It'd do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile
Gets you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move
But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see, oh yeah!"

— The Offspring, "It'll Be a Long Time", Smash
