REFUSED
the
handbook for revolutionaries part 1
LAST
MINUTE POINTER
Is
there a single thing that would make you comprehend that as long as we
shut up we still sanction them? My silence will convict me. As the parade
continues on every bloodstained flag we sum up statistics still buried
in the sand. With our silence we vote for continuation.
OK,
once again it feels so much harder to write explanations to my lyrics than
it was to write them in first place. Well, that's probably just how it
feels when I know that I have to get the shit done. To pretentious, just
wanting to explain so much. So much to do, so much to say.
Once
again the fabulous group Embrace comes up. This was the last song we wrote
and way into the recording I still hadn't written any words for it.
I
was listening to Embrace and the beautiful line "my silence will convict
me and the evil will carry on" flew by. I asked a couple of friends if
it was too much to borrow it, and they all said no, so here's the chorus,
the 5 words that sum up the entire record, my entire life. After that,
everything I wrote seemed kinda pale, but somehow I managed to get it done
just in time. But then, of course, I had to borrow from an old Refused
album to.
So,
there you have it. No matter how shitty the odds are, no matter how small
I feel, I will always know that the day I shut up is the day that I lose.
So,
if you think that something is wrong, scream, fight and show how you feel,
get organized. Cause noone will fight for us. There will be no saviour
but us, and we cant wait for anyone else to start. It's up to us. Now.
