I think a pack of rats would be a better candidate For your colonies of shit in between the frozen lakes Than me, I'm not suited to this climate Of fear and confinement I think I gotta go and find a place for us to hide Even though I tried I really think we're gonna die This place rips itself apart Amputated at the heart You got a social problem And I'm a fuckin symptom I live within you wanting Just to worsen your condition I know you're wrong and you're in denial Cuz I'm always wrong and I'm in denial I know you're sick, society because I hate sobriety Suicidal society Dysfunctional hierarchy Your disease is a part of me Suicidal society I think you been sick a whole lot longer'n you been letting on I think you said nothing, you said nothing, didn't let us in I think you were born with a bad bad past I think you got problems that go way way back I think you were sick since you were first developing But I think, that you should have a chance Everyone should have a chance Even you society Dysfunctional hierarchy Suicidal society Your disease is a part of me

Raise the stakes or your lover wont come home Sold our soul to a bloody manifesto Jokes on you, I was lost long ago Cause a dead man Has never testified Lay down and know your rights When I start in vegas I finish the night Let me out, Let me in Let the bodies stack alittle higher Gag, bag, and drag the runt of the litter Sadly it's all I desire It's a sickness that burns a fire Cause a dead man Has never testified Lay down and know your rights When I start in vegas I finish the night
3.
Oh fuck you, fuck you, blow it out your ass. Say another word and it will be your last I’m sick of all your shit and sick of all your lies I’m not your property and now’s your time to die. Your greedy corporations is what I fucking hate Your control of the media makes me irate Try to tell me what to think and what it is all for For you money and your oil, you’ll start a bloody war. You don’t even give a shit who you have to kill Stealing all that money must be a fucking thrill You hid behind religion when you really live in sin There’s more of us than of you you’ll never fucking win No matter what you say you can’t get in my head I wont take your bullshit that’s what I fucking said Take it to the bank or take it to the grave You are not my master and I'll never be your slave.

Three tours, in a useless war what the fuck are you fighting for a culture clash, dogmatic trash entire cities turned to ash came home in pain, half insane another warrior seeks charity once you go, you cant come back crumpled rags in a shanty shack Chorus- The forgotten, soldier The forgotten, can’t escape the war i.e.d’s, razor wire comrades lost in friendly fire blood and sand, wind and dust childrens screams still keep him up p.t.s.d, trauma scene can’t wipe away those memories zero hour, lock and load veterans bare a heavy load Chorus- The forgotten, soldier The forgotten, cant escape the war Things have changed, since he got back The old world stops like a heart attack Over there, things made sense Loyalty. glued to his regiment Now he’s left, an amputee The home he knew, now a street No paradise, no golden shores He don’t believe it anymore Chorus x2
5.
I’ve been travelling on for so long, This solace I find is wrong but it’s home. I know there was something pressed thigh to thigh, But I know it wasn’t love through the lies. These rustic old bottles are wearin’ me in, It’s eating me inside and now I see, I was wrong. This poison I bleed, I bleed and I scream, What the fuck is wrong with me? I’ve never been in the business of writing happy tunes. There’s something in my sorrow that hangs with my noose. Maybe it’s the chemicals, mine just ain't right. Or maybe it’s the dream wine I suck down every night. If these walls could talk, I’d tell you what they’d say, I’ve never been short of people to push away. This poison I bleed’s killing me.
6.
Fuckin' pigs wanna lock me away, I’m on the streets and I live day to day, never had any freedom anyways, but to you that’s okay ‘cause I’ve never had a say. You say you’re job is to protect the innocent but all you protect is the wallets of the rich, you’re not a human you’re a part of the machine, getting in the way of the justice on the streets. Cops bastards fucking pigs, you don’t give us no justice, shake hands with the rich, you’re the ones that make me fuckin’ sick
7.
In the red corner, pushing 155 is el Chupacabra known for the top rope dive. He'll rip your face off if you get in his way, he’s looking for a sack and he’s willing to pay Chupacabra el Chupacabra He’s blown all his cash, snorted his rent. Woke up at 9am, wishing to repent. And his opponent, will pose no match, so long as he’s got a bottle of bourbon, poured down the hatch Chupacabra el Chupacabra White lines are what guide his way, no matter who’s wallet has to pay. Chupacabra, yes he owes a lot, but the Chupacabra can’t get caught. Chupacabra el Chupacabra
8.
Got no friends in this town Can't keep this frown upside down I'm such an isolated mess So separated from the rest Its a good reason to get high When there’s not point to even try x 2
9.
Sa sert a rien de rester assis a terre quand les austi'd flics ont toujours le feu vert, y font ce qu'ils veulent et y ont plain d'practique alors vos fucking geules avec on reste pacifique! C'est vraiment dommage ils avancent 'clac clac clac' et la les pacifists comprennent le goût d'une matraque – des fois sa prend plus que des mots pour apprendre pourquoi hair le drapeau Il faut que le jour arrive ou il aurons peur de nous, nous allons prendre la rue avec un seul coup. unis, munis, près pour quoi que se sois, on se revoit aux barricades, continuons le combat! [x2] La bourgeoisie connais qu'une language, c'est grève, blockage pi sabotage
10.
Refinery city, it doesn't look pretty A typical view from any back yard includes a tailings pond but not for all, only those who crawl Still the big man stands tall So, I guess it's up to the motivated few to take the fucking power back Tell him what he wants He's your boss Decides your future Gets what he wants at another's loss Our loss Loss Lost I am lost Rape, lies, fake smiles Greed soaks the mind Through his cold eyes We look like mice Tell him what he wants He's your boss Decides your future By printing and selling the notion of freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom What is freedom anyway? I see a future Not one where I'm alive I seem to have died When the water began to rise The big man jumps in The big man jumped in The big man is floating and I'm sinking in
11.
I got my Borderline/ Pretty cars and Pickup lines/ Lying facedown in the grime/ Kiss my pretty frown/ I come like Dynamite/ See that twinkle in my eye/ Make my way down tonight/ Won’t you kiss my pretty frown/ Finding joy in the most unlikely holes Blood in my face, oh I’m looking to spread some love. Feels so good when they crumble under my weight. Step into the bar, you can call me a deadshot. The man at the bar I broke his nose, the boys at the jukebox I couldn’t let them go. I wanna see ‘em bleed cause I cant get what I really long for. I see the truth in their eyes, they tease, tease. I got my Borderline/ Pretty cars and Pickup lines/ Lying facedown in the grime/ Kiss my pretty frown/ I come like Dynamite/ See that twinkle in my eye/ Make my way down tonight/ Won’t you kiss my pretty frown
12.
I was born with a silver spoon shoved down my throat to my ass by parents who can't accept their troubled pasts but I will try to become a man but there's many lonely paths in front of where I stand and I have never been the same since the day that you taught me to feel shame Well fuck everyone, but mostly fuck me cause I'm the one who makes myself unhappy and I have tried to become a man but there's many vacant paths behind where I stand and I have always been the same asshole who doesn't know where to point the blame I'm growing up but I guess it's in my own shitty way and I'm trying to get by while trying to get my inner child to stay there are things I will always believe in things I will always doubt there are friends I'll always have there are things I will always want to shout It all goes by so fast before you know it you've fucking ended up on your ass the best souvenir from your past is the person you become and we're running out of time Hands up! I'm holding up the world all you fucked up boys and girls STOP! the police finally caught up with me how the fuck could I let this be? I look at you you look back at me I thought you knew turns out you didn't have a clue It all goes by so fast before you know it you've fucking ended up on your ass the best souvenir form your past is the person you'll become and we're running out of time So I got off my ass and tried not to look to past though I'm not gonna lie I died a little inside when i grew up a single moment in time GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!
13.
Debt slave for a year Got nothing good to say Should I buy some beer Stay hungry for today When I'm numb I feel okay Sittin in my cave no I don't crave Expensive crap Go outside and take a nap Or maybe drink some in the sun I won't hurt anyone Don't take my pot I work a lot for what I got I don't deserve to run No I don't deserve to hide Pig, you are a PSYCHOPATH Why do you Hit me when I'm down It makes you smile when I frown I wish I could see you again my man But you got lost in the scam Your zombie corpse is in my face Concentrated on the race Well I'm in debt and I can't wait be free And when I work, well I swear that ain't me And what I say, I don't really believe I'm just in debt and I can't wait be free To be free Please let me drink some in the sun I won't hurt anyone x4 Please let me drink some in the sun
14.
The first time I saw the angel He came to me through the window With blonde hair and white fangs And I couldn't see for the light So I tried To shield my eyes But I was blind. He led me away, Straight to your grave and when I woke up I knew heaven was drowning in shame. The next night communed with the devil He offered me halls full of gold, A life born on leisure, All in exchange for my soul But I ran because I was afraid I am the man, inside the body. What would be left? Who could've known? But what's the use of a man made of stone And when the spirits come calling They'll come in the night To drag you over to the other side The books that men wrote to control They have no use here They won't save your soul If you don't believe in tricks of the light Won't be dragged over, won't be led to a side. Are you afraid, will you run for your life? Please don't delay because they won't ask why. Are you afraid or are you in love?
15.
Revolution at a critical time the plan is in demand The time line of the evolution of mankind is as its prime Ever though about the sperm that meets the egg the function that feeds the modern man? The deterioration of earth's life systems suggests that we did think think of them Unite at the top of the hill (where we will face them) Tear down the walls of steel (that house the plagued men) They taint our soils They paint our waters black It's time to face them Mountain top rebellion Ethics obscured in search for profit, polluting the land Tar sands extracted to serve demand, needy human Unite at the top of the hill (where we will face them) Tear down the walls of steel They taint our soils They paint our waters black It's time to face them Mountain top rebellion

Abel lies awake by night and counts all of his crooked teeth, fingers each misplaced slight with which he can't compete His mother sighs “oh abel child, 25 been running since 19, bottles and dimes piled high, is that why you struggle to breathe?” Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Abel! Go driving late every night up and down these same streets Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Fucking Abel! Claim you see an end in sight but when will you learn stop? As I lie in bed, there's always movement behind these eyelids, something akin to panic As I I try to sleep, I find no comfort in these dead sheep, in these dead sheep Oh father, If only there'd been something more than grains of sand to build some honest callouses Oh mother, I guess I just miss, I just miss... Those stories! The ones we used to tell by night I guess I miss those stories, the ones where happiness wasn't found, but hard fought and earned. Abel's aboard a freighter ship, a place to call his own. He claims he's found brothers and purpose clear and strong Late at night as he walks the deck, he writes Dear Mom and Dad, you'll be so proud of your wayward son, the promises lying ahead Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Abel! Tells them of the pretty girl he meets when he pulls into port Oh Abel. Abel! Oh Abel. Fucking Abel! Soon enough he'll learn that the sea ain't the only thing starting to swell. (chorus) Abel you're a God, Abel you're a bastard, Abel you're my motherfucking son Abel you're a punk, Abel you're a waste of space, Abel you'll always be the one Abel you're Saint, Abel you're in disarray, Abel you're my motherfucking son Abel you're drunk, walking these tired avenues, Abel you'll always be the one!

Un dia, Hombres y mujeres sonavan de una civilisation sin materialisma Un mundo lejo de los valores demostrado por nostra sociedad Los olvidamos del verdaderos sentido de la navidad Unirnos a festejar con familia y amigos Being controled by all the corporation PUTA CAPITALISTA Succeding by selling us their useless scrap PUTA CAPITALISTA Cette fête est devenue Un ramassi d'aubaine Surconsommer leurs produits Qui n'en valent pas la peine Tels des brebis hypnotisées au présentoir Nous nous jettons dans la gueule du loup Oubliant La Navidad REFRAIN Puta Capitalista X 2 On essaye de se limiter Mais la demande sans cesse poussée Complicité planétaire Ça pue la misère!! Enlassés tout encordés Sans pouvoir vous deprendre Vous irez tout dépenser Ce quon a bien voulu vous tendre REFRAIN Puta Capitalista X 2 NUNCA!!! I segimos todos igual PUTA!!!!gastando todo la plata NUNCA!!!para cosa sin necesidad I segimos todos igual gastando todo la plata para cosa sin necesidad

The life we choose to live may be killing us and there's fire in the water - no chance to escape it Nuclear waste is raining down on all your children and there isn't any stopping it thats what you get for living in a system based on profit Stuck in a wasteland but this wasteland is your very home caught in a wasteland and that wasteland is your very own We wanted all this power now the blood is on our hands we made the earth pay the price of our demands I don't even know what the fuck a millisievert is I feel kept in the dark and all I hear is Fukushima Stuck in a wasteland but this wasteland is your very home caught in a wasteland and that wasteland is your very own (x2)
19.
Concrete structures kiss the sky in their shadows we waste away and die, an ambulance screams by and in my head it screams, it screams bring out your dead this city seems to swallow you whole, metal and concrete eat at your soul, Identity lost in a rat race game, and now you’re a number without a name, this city eats at your brain with nothing but failure and pain, doing things you’d rather not and from inside you start to rot. Slowly dying day to day when all your dreams have faded away at one time you had a choice you try to scream but you’ve lost your voice This city screams this city bleeds This city life is killing me It screams it screams It bleeds it bleeds And it’s fucking killing me
20.
See the lows, ride the highs, all in plain sight, never lies. Suffer loss, get what you need. Flick of your wrist satisfy your greed. The slightest move, could dig your grave. But more and more is what you crave. Think you’re on the rise, we’ll see how low you get. You’re aiming for that prize, but we’ll see how low you get. Dollar signs, are all you see. Then lose it all, in 1-2-3. Dishing out, accepting loans, rejoiced screams, sorrow filled moans. Passers by are entertained. As egos rise, self esteem is drained. Think you’re on the rise, we’ll see how low you get. You’re aiming for that prize, well see how low you get.
21.
There’s a monkey on my back and it’s ready to attack. Better get away cause you know I’m gunna crack. Don’t care what they say or even what they do, I just wanna get into you. Get off my back!
22.
Contempt masks the fear, the mask hides the grin We choose to ignore the trouble were in This game of cat and mouse has come to an end Complete control; the message that they try to send Unanimous hate, the grin turns to sneer The sound of the battle rings out in our ear It becomes clear to see as the dust starts to settle We grow every time we get caught in this kettle. We've seen it all before those filthy fuckers go to war Through oppression we're regressing that won't happen anymore So let's burn the global north take it all back by force Through aggression we're progressing till we smash the corporate whore We're not giving up for lent, we are the ninety nine percent We are your sister and your brother we'll die alongside one another So we'll fight the boys in blue fight ‘em all just for you For the hungry mouths that we can't feed the ones forced hungry by our greed. The cycles set in motion by the fire in our eyes The water tarts to boil the steam starts to rise Pressure keeps on building something’s gotta give Whistling on the air causes me to shiver.
23.
The sun exploded today good luck to all of the people trying to get away what did we save from what was inevitable? what did we look like when you found us, what did we resemble? We’re we like fireflies or maybe more like moths to the flame? sorry we had to go out this.. time doesn't matter anymore and good luck to all the parishioners trying to find salvation off shore when this is done you'll end up the same as us when this is over you'll be nothing more than shadows and dust we were like fireflies or maybe more like moths to the flame sorry we had to go out this way
24.
I wanna see annihilation Destruction of the system Politicians running for their lives Rich folks being stabbed with knives The worlds gotta end We must rise above the corruption Bring down the government Its time to end their tyranny Following their rules is not the life for me Watching politicians spend our money carelessly Our schools are failing Our Medicare has run out When you ask a politician he doesn’t know what you're talking about
25.
They caught you at fifteen and chained you to the mill. You worked the longest days as you do still. You fed the filthy masses while you were skipping all the classes, Just to see what it was like on the other side You'll find You'll buy the lie that everything will be fine 20 years down the line You'll try to get by, by filling up the holes with all your vanity and lies You are a plebeian you're filling up the space Fill it with all the shit you buy you're such a fucking waste And when I step off of my soapbox and go home to watch my favourite corporate TV shows On my brand new Mac alone Because I'm a fucking hypocrite Because I buy, the Lie that everything will be fine 20 years down the line You'll try to get by, by filling up the holes with all your vanity and lies But, How can I escape when I am tied down What if I don't feel safe without these ropes around my neck and I, I've got a family to feed, My health insurance company Wont protect my life if I don't pay So I'll try to find a solution not withstanding all the lies Because they lied everything won't be fine 20 years down the line
26.
Depuis le début des temps l'homme en a sacrifié son sang Pour une image du paradis tout en croyant aux propheties Ils se disent avoir la foi Foi en quoi , Foi en rien À quoi bon prier le matin si tu n'crois pas en toi Religion pourquoi exister Seulement pour nous séparer Créant barrière et frontière Nous lapider pendant nos prière Charlatant des belles histoires Pour contrôler , Manipuler Questionnez pas l'autorité Laissez vous seulement dressé [L'athéisme peut être consideré comme une attitude ou une doctrine, qui affirme l'inexistence de quelconque dieu ou divinité que ce soi]. Religion pourquoi exister Seulement pour nous séparer Créant barrière et frontière Nous lapider pendant nos prières Charlatant des belles histoires Pour contrôler , Manipuler Questionnez pas l'autorité Laissez vous seulement dressé
27.
Picks you up from off the ground Blood races with a static sound It lets you take to flight Like a beacon in the night Cuts through like a razor blade Blood pumps into my veins Dial to the right The speakers vibrate Let the bass shake your knees The rhythms gonna hold the beat Captivate my soul Embed my very core As the radio keeps pumpin out this sound (Chorus) Radio, radio, radio, radio Radio, radio, radio, radio Reggae spin in stereo Rudy steps to ease the flow Moonshine in the night Got this demon in my sight Turntable, pressure drop Break the hands right off the clock This music’s in my soul This steady rock n’ roll To those without a voice Sound wave, here’s our noise Turn up the amplifier The guitar is catching fire As the radios keeps pumping out this sound (Chorus) There’s something wrong with my radio x8
28.
Political song – this is a political song Protest song – this is a protest song Political song (x7) This is stuff that sucks Cops – fuck ‘em Capitalism – don’t fuckin need it Corporations – burn ‘em all Pepper spray – it fucking burns And this is stuff we love Ice cream – it’s good on a hot day Beer – its also good on a hot day Puppies – They’re fucking adorable Titties – They’re fucking awesome Hot dogs – good with mustard T- shirts – I wear ‘em ‘bout half the time Microphones – It’s how I deliver my messages

about

This compilation is a collection of 28 songs contributed by 14 Montréal bands, from bluegrass to hardcore. All the bands are unsigned and independent. Our goal was to provide a way for bands to access and distribute physical copies of their music without being limited by the costs of recording and CD production. Through bulk production, costs were low for everyone, and no one was obliged to pay to be on the compilation. We recorded any bands who needed it.

Special Thanks go out to Millie for recording the broke ass bands and mixing down the comp, Jawn for the killer artwork, Ryan for letting us use his mics, all the bands who submitted their music and took on copies, everyone who put up with our nonstop listening to, talking about, and stressing out over the compilation, and to you for buying it!
Thx y’all.
Derek & Mike
