In this town where I've lived my whole life something seems strange, it's just not right it seems like we're under some kind of curse government policies changed for the worse I hope they realize before it's too late before things turn bad and there's no escape When they look at our problems we just don't rate but time is running out and we just can't wait CHORUS This is our home they're throwing away This is our nation and we have no say They pollute the water that we drink In school we're taught to obey not to think They waste our land building more cities There's so much violence we've no remorse nor pity Don't just sit there in despair or maybe you just don't fuckin' care They more you know the more you're aware Knowledge's our weapon when the war is declared CHORUS It's my life and I live my own way don't carry no banners, ain't got much to say totally sussed in the boots I wear already convicted coz of the crop of my hair been drinking all night and I'm all fucked up I head to the disco and I smash it up the papers make me look like a real outlaw cops say "Spread'em up, against the wall" Hear our shouting and our boots go marching in the dead of night papers say I'm trouble, born and bred in the gutter, but still I insist I'm alright I'm a 20th century casualty, I'm a young partisan I may not have much, but I got my friends and I got my rebel songs CHORUS
