New Fraternity

from There's Always by Money in the Banana Stand

/

lyrics

I pledge allegiance to the stars that tuck me in at night,
pretty much the only thing that makes me want to stand and fight.
Soul full of traffic, veins pumping harder
than the engines flyin' by on the Trans Canada 1.
Let disapproval be my motivation;
motherfuck this nation.
When I hear that sound I know I'll never let them say “we won.”

I'll let this music be my religion.
My corporate sponsor: my ecosystem.
Throw those who put us down in the trash,
recycle the fists; make something last.

I live for something
that I can't see, but I feel

Pedal through the jungle,
eyes forward, try not to look up at the skyscrapers.
They'll fall someday when trees and rocks become true architecture
Guitars with broken strings
make music ring inside of me
Fuck those who think that they are best,
I'll say what I need to get off my chest.

I live for something
that I can't see, but I feel

Fuck your Canada flag. I celebrate every single day.
