It's not the video, it's the lyrics

A song from my youth.
A band from New York called S.F.A. They were part of the hardcore punk movement called "hatecore". This wasn't some white power thing at the start; it was in response to the unity movement that had been underway in the hardcore scene. Bands like S.F.A and Sheer Terror were basically just pissed off regular guys who wanted to sing about the shitty side of life, voice their opinions about societal and political bullshit without being "We should come together and love one another and sing and dance and..." They were saying "This shit is fucked up! You all suck! Eat a dick!" As a lyric from Sheer Terror's song "Just Can't Hate Enough" says:

I'm just a workin' class slob who's tired

Of getting the short end of the stick

It ain't my problem if I'm not like you

And I'm not suckin' Uncle Sam's dick

You call that negative

You think I'm out of touch

I can't stand living

I can't stand you

And I just can't hate enough.

Now like many popular movements, someone comes along and distorts the original message and the white power movement took over the term "hatecore". Typical of the seek-help crowd.

Anyways...

This song came up in a random music shuffle recently and I thought it's a powerful one. Won't say I condone it, but I understand. :-)

Lyrics below, as they can be a little tough to make out for some folks.

You don't have to look far to see filth and grime
Our daily lives are filled with perversion and crime
A dealer on the corner, some whores down the block
It's an everyday sight, it comes as no shock
No arrests are made, the politicians are corrupted
This is the world they made, it's time we disrupt it
Justice can't be brought through legal demands
The only way to do it is with the law in our hands
Purge! Bring down the state
You rally and protest, your voices go unheard
You've got to change tactics
Actions speak louder than words
Democracy is a sham, it's all been prearranged
Bombs, not ballots, is the only way to bring a change
World history is approaching it's darkest hour
We can turn back the clock, we've got the power
We are the new morality, the power is in our hands
We can sweep across the nation and purge the land
Politicians and evangelists all spread the lie
For their injustice to humanity, they'll have to die
Today's robber barons must be assassinated
Drug dens and porno houses must be incinerated
We're the new morality, our numbers are vast
We can build a new future as we burn down the past
We'll show no mercy, no hesitation
Might makes right, we're gonna purge the nation
Purge! Bring down the state
