Forget about being unique, be uniformed and lined in!
So your blood will be the oil for the machine but never mind!
Eventually, work will make you free!
Unconditional cupidity has spoiled our mind,
we care for our own profit and leave others behind.
Make sure you’ve got everything you can afford!
Welcome to our world of greed:
“I don’t need it but i want it before someone else can take it away.”
We don’t even try to construct any bridges – we burn them down and build walls.
We keep pushing and fighting, until compassion is gone.
Out of sight the things that really count in life.
Hands pulled away, someone kicked deeper into the mud,
a frigid world without any heart.
We’re socially conditioned to act as if “the I” is more and everybody else is less.
Our sick narcissism is telling us to benefit no one but ourselves.
Catch up, catch up, don’t fall behind!
This is life’s busy race, keep the pace!
Take it, take it, don’t give a shit!
This is life’s greed- trap and you got caught in it.
Be faster, be stronger, try to last longer!
They’re all enemies, leave ‘em behind!
The “machinery that gives abundance has left us in want”,
turned us into “machine men with machine minds and machine hearts”.
Who’s #1 in the championship of life?
We yearn for more and more,
with one eye on our triumph and the other on the score.

It's only another gearwheel in the machinery of moneymaking,
an industrial product - produced just to be sold.
I see "revolution" written on their flags as they're tryin'
to sell the same oversea-produced exploitation goods.
Do you think that Nike or Vans care about this music
or the ideas and the way of life for which it stands?
Me, you, our friends and this whole scene ain't nothing
but a market place. Don't be their minion, don't help them
to create the illusion that shoes are a statement of belief!
Their consumer-breeding promotionsquads a.k.a. your favorite
punk rock bands are now puppets on the strings of venture
capitalists, the fertilizer for the money trees cultured by
conscienceless neoliberalists.
This is not a fucking masking ball, it's a place where you could
be yourself and ougtha be yourself. So, you canting profit junkies, write this in your fucking zine:
"Fuck posing, little hypocrites defining themselves through their consume,
begging for cameras, to picture their costume. and those brand pretending
that they care about the message from our hearts shouted out loud...
Well, fuck 'em all and let an anarchist god sort 'em out."

Dollar, dollar on the wall, make me rich and fuck 'em all!
This current crisis which we're all facing is not the result of selfishness
of a few investment bankers. It is the inevitable consequence of an economic
system that rewards cutthroat competition at every level of society.
A system driven by comepetition for ever-increasing profit cannot be sustained
perpetually, as one day everything that can be bought and sold will be capital
held in the hands of a few.
Now that almost everything has been fed into the fire, the system is collapsing
and it's leaving even its former beneficiaries out in the cold.
Without redistributing wealth the economic cycle stops and the profits dry up,
which leads to higher unemployment rates. Therefore, no more real products can be sold
and capitalists can continue making profits only by speculating on future returns.
But like any house of cards, debt can't be built up forever. Eventually someone calls it in.
The house of cards collapsed under its own weight in 2008, when it occurred even to the
last one that the expected future returns could never materialize.
So why are we still fed with scraps from the table of an oligarchic few?
Why are we still taking part in the annual stockmarket crash derby?
We are the voice that's speaking out against your gambling with lives, we will speak out against your
greed crimes behind drawn velvet curtains and we will take back what has been ours all along!
We take out loans and struggle to pay rent while you bathe in your money bins and figure out
"new ways to rob hardworking people blind". We've had enough time has come for us to rise!
We are the voice of all who've put their trust in your system that's failed.
Your system has failed!
