L7 - Pretend we're Dead


Whats up with whats going down
In every city, in every town
Cramping styles is the plan
Theyve got us in the palm of every hand

When we pretend that were dead
When we pretend that were dead
They cant hear a word weve said
When we pretend that were dead

Turn the tables with our unity
They neither moral nor majority
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality

When we pretend that were dead
When we pretend that were dead
They cant hear a word weve said
When we pretend that were dead

Come on, come on, come on come on

When we pretend that were dead
When we pretend that were dead
They cant hear a word weve said
When we pretend that were dead

What will it take for you to stand up against your government and the powers that be? And by stand up I mean activism on one of it's many forms to a degree where you feel committed to it.

People not posting irrelevant lyrics to songs I've never heard or don't like when trying to gain my opinion or support on a cause or idea.

What will it take for me and probably every other stoner in the US to stand up and tell off the morons that run this country? Unfourtunatly, gas money to get there, enough money to have food and a place to crash for as long as we hold out, and probably booze and bud...and the hope that we have enough numbers to outweigh the mornic republican christian party baby boomers.

I just hate that thats not even close to what its going to take to change the zombified minds of 30 million greedy, fat lazy slobs who rather be spoon fed lies, then read the truth.

Honestly I'm giving it a 1 in 100 shot that Bush instigates executive order and retains the Presidency but if he does, I don't care about my job, my life, money, anything... I'm doing whatever I can to get to DC... okay let's be honest... the new capital in Crawford, Texas to do whatever I can to get that cocksucker out of power. I've thought about this a lot and I would do this for my country despite the implications or possible jail or even death sentences it would bring.

With that said though I doubt it'll happen, it's bad politics. The next administration will probably be a lot worse than the current administration.

I know its really sad, especially since im in the lazy good for nothing stoner party, but the biggest problem i see with the whole "stand up and rebel" is that once we have some kind of audiance to listen to us, whats our plan? Do we have a course of action, cure for anything that paugues this country other than...no i dont think that right...maby this will work..

I sure as hell dont, i have no idea how to tell anyone else to live, its not my right to, or anyone elses.

I dont know, im not a politician, all i know is we need to find a solution to the probems of our country before we decide we should govern the rest of the world. I can offer suggestions, but i have no set in stone way to fix all the problems we have built over the past century.

It would take a President retaining executive privelage past his term. You should already know my opinion as you deleted it from a few of my posts :wink:

What is the this wtf?




We're an international community. This thread is strictly between people and their government. If you are an American, its about the US Government. If you're a Frenchman, it's about the French government and/or the EU.

Worldwide there is a trend where government control gets an increasing hold over its people. Privacy issues of Orwellian proportions are seriously at stake today. There's scare politics being used, the dissent of the populations is rising. There's an increasing sense among people that shit's going too far.

What will it take for you to stand up against your government and the powers that be?
Quite a legitimate question in this day and age.

How rebellious or conformist is the Shroomery?

L7 was quite a decent band that got unnoticed by many people. If it plugs a relatively unknown band, adds some music to peoples playlists and the lyrics are somewhat supportive of the topic, while being generic enough to not taint the issue, why not? :thumbup:

When they come for my cigarettes... And they will be coming... Bunch of neopuritan lackeys for an increasingly effeminate sissy-country anyway...

To paraphrase Charleton Heston: I hold up a pack of Marlboros and scream, "From my cold dead hands!"

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

When they come for me
I'll be sittin at my desk
With a gun in my hand
Wearin a bullet proof vest

Singing "my my my
How the time does fly
When you know you're gonna die
By the end of the night"
