Propaganda by Deed Lyrics

Chose your weapon, show your anger
Time to take up the fight
We cannot sit in silence while authority claims its right
To control our very being
From the moment of first breath
Regulation, structure, order
Follow us until death
Told we must accept their power
As legitimate and true
Told we must use their methods
Told there's nothing we can do
We must begin to turn our backs
On authority's persistence
Time to take a step
Toward our active resistance

Fight back against their power
Fight back against their greed
Live a life of total freedom
Propaganda by the deed

Once our movement wielded power
Causing fear within the state
Pushing power into history
Forced them to retaliate
So we took our acts of vengence
With a riot, gun, or bomb
Exposing state repression
Which they've hidden for so long
Governments made the martyrs
But the movement wouldn't die
And another generation
Lives on to defy
The power and authority
That has been held on
By the people who won't freely
Admit that they are wrong
Fight back against their power
Fight back against their greed
Live a life of total freedom
Propaganda by the deed
Technology, propaganda
And complex bureaucracy
The foundation of the system
Of modern authority
Our old methods seem so twisted
Our movements would be thwarted
But resistance takes on many forms
And vengence is but one
The road to freedom is ahead
But the journey's just begun
Education, change in lifestyle
And a little social change
Are the weapons in our battle
At this early stage
