lyrics

I’m gonna make damn sure my liver fails
Before our institutions do
I know I’ve got my work cut out for me

We can change our mind, and change our world
But I’ll be damned if we can find
A way to change the rules of entropy

We’re only as strong as our weakest link
And it turns out, they make up half the chain
We’re only as strong as our weakest link
So break it and start again. Start again

Goddamn it man I just can’t wait
‘til we finally win this next election
Then everything can go back to being
Just as fucked as it’s always been

We’re only as strong as our weakest link
And it turns out, they make up half the chain
We’re only as strong as our weakest link
So break it and start again

I said fuck it. Said break it and start again

They need you to believe
You can fight hatred with kindness
They need you to believe you can fight nihilism
With passion and with hope
And the reason for that is:
That’s how they rob you of both
That’s how they rob you of both
That’s how they rob you of both
That’s how they rob you of both

Don’t fucking let ‘em

about

Total Massacre Los Angeles, California

“Total Massacre have a directness and simplicity that is kind of a lost art these days; it was a
hallmark of the punk scene back in the 1980’s and is what gave the music of that era the
immediacy that inspired young people to engage in acts of resistance to fascism. We need more
of that.”
– Chris Hannah, Propagandhi.
