Transition Collective Music (and Lyrics)
Disclaimer:
Louder Transition Collective is a hardcore anarcho-punk band from Charlotte, NC. The project was recently started by Rebel Rabbit Alex who is looking for a guitarist, bassist, and drummer to join. Currently, all bass, guitar, and vocals are produced by Rebel who has the hope others will join to make new songs as well as improve existing ones.
You'll notice that the songs as the exist are not demo ready. Firstly, they're lacking drum tracks which are beyond Rebel's ability. Secondly, one track is missing bass. Thirdly, everything has been thus far recorded on relatively cheap equipment in Rebel's house. The current state of these songs is only a reflection of the sound and direction Rebel would like to take the band.
What's the matter, Tranny faggot?
Why are you so depressed?
Should be fucking grateful
That we even grant you sex.
Rich girls will fuck me,
In their lakeside mansion,
But it's never real,
Just their sport of expansion.
A story on being used
On being used
On being used
On being used
Said I was the best thing
To ever happen to you.
But in my dark times,
Was other lovers you ran to.
I&m sorry I&m an addict,
Still a struggle that I face.
Guess I was a fucking fool,
For thinking I could take up space.
A story on being used
On being used
On being used
On being used
Passionate, generous, always to a fault.
Despite all the times getting kicked to the asphalt.
Through it all, I still can't bring myself to ever hate you.
One day I'll love myself as much as…
I loved you.
I loved you.
I loved you.
A story on being used.
A sexual novelty,
You called me a friend.
But that never adds up,
Ever in the end.
Fuck it all, no regrets. Heal the wounds of the past.
One day I'll find something... something that gives back!
A story on being used
On being used
On being used
On being used
Guitar and Drums originally from NoZen
NoZen is a newly forming hardcore punk band. They recently released this track without lyrics or vocals. As an experiment, I wrote and recorded my own vocals for their original song. I have their permission to post my version. You should absolutely check them out!
I don't know the solution, all the answers, if they do, they are lying, when they say
How it'll go days ahead, getting darker, progress stalling, ever falling despair sets in
But I know can't rely, thoughts and prayers, dreams and hopes, without action it's useless you
Gotta show (up) not alone, never were, a facade, just the fucking system trying to
Bring us down
Bring us down
Bring us down
I didn't come this far in my struggles just to be turned around
Turned around
Turned around
Here we go they will tremble, see our numbers, disaffection, mass movement, we will
Overthrow done before, done again, show these bastards who we are and then we'll scream
Never again, Again, Again, AGAIN
Overthrow done before, done again, show these bastards who we are and then we'll scream
Never again, Again, Again, AGAIN
I's not a collapse says the six o'clock news
But look at my savings man they're fucking through
So you go to the next town because you they have the jobs
But its still a corporate desert, a searing heat
And you're still on the streets
you're still on the streets
you're still on the streets
So you make your post and you grab your signs
What else came you do, In these exploitive times?
Now your time is up, Your Bills are due
they get the bailouts, but what about you
Nothing for you
Nothing for you
Nothing for you
Well the resistance is here and the resistance is queer
Used to being bashed by the fucking fash
And though they risenfrom ashes of the past
And we'll burn it down
We'll burn it down
We'll burn it down
Bring justice to your town
You enclose the commons, you put up the fence.
To survive- have to use it, gotta pay rent
But you mix no labor, you don't occupy,
If I wanna live, gotta sell my time
Absentee ownership, what a fucking farce
Just making life artificially scarce
Burn the leasing office, tear it apart
No more landlords, that'd be a start
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
C'mon just sell your life
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Pay up or die!
It's the sickest goddamn joke I've ever fucking known,
A magic deed and title that says you own,
Basically feudalism, has a nasty ring
Long live the levelers and death to the king!
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
C'mon just sell your life
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Pay up or die!
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
C'mon just sell your life
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Rent is just theft
Pay up or die!
They steal the land
They call it progress
But it's clear it was never fucking for us
They say they serve
And they protect
Yea the master race, they're the architects
Say it's a contract
They call it wages
Exploitation as old as the ages
It was never for us
It was never for us
It was never for us
They call it rent
Say you can live here
Predicated on a condition of fear
Absolution
They say they offer
Obedience is all they ask or suffer
Revolution
Or evolution
There's room for both and we need a solution
It was never for us
It was never for us
It was never for us
I got your back
If you got mine
Solidarity until the end of time
I got your back
If you got mine
Solidarity until the end of time
I got your back
If you got mine
Solidarity until the end of time
It was never for us
It was never for us
It was never for us
Commie gun!
Bought you before the Obama import ban
Commie gun!
No one makes an AK like Izhmash can
Commie gun!
I used to romanticize insurrection
Commie gun!
now I find myself in a different situation
Found my tribe and found my start
Found a community I'm a part
Found my scene in the dark
Found my family, found my heart
Commie gun!
I wish you could understand what I saw
Commie gun!
From that time I was on run from the law
Commie gun!
I used to romanticize insurrection
Commie gun!
now I find myself in a different situation
Found my tribe and found my start
Found a community I'm a part
Found my scene in the dark
Found my family, found my heart
Commie gun!
I used to wish I was as tough as you
Commie gun
From my struggles, I found out it's true
Commie gun!
I used to romanticize insurrection
Commie gun!
now I find myself in a different situation
Found my tribe and found my start
Found a community I'm a part
Found my scene in the dark
Found my family, found my heart
Buried in the woods is what I say
Hopefully there will never come the day
But if I ever have to dig it up
That'll be the day this athiest prays
Track coming soon!
None of my friends will ever be homeless
Not while I can still fucking breathe
We'll build each other up, we'll survive and thrive
Together, a family, we'll fight this fight
It must be hard living in a world
Where you have such little control over it all
I'm here to tell you something I think is true
Together we can build, build something new
They say we're ungrateful, they say we're a waste
But they don't know the struggle, they don't know the taste
Of living on the edge with nowhere to go
But we'll write our own story, we'll take control
It must be hard living in a world
Where you have such little control over it all
I'm here to tell you something I think is true
Together we can build, build something new
You're not just a statistic, You're a person I adore
I won't let you fall through cracks in society's floor
They try to tear us down, make us feel small
But when I'm here with youk, I feel so fucking tall
It must be hard living in a world
Where you have such little control over it all
I'm here to tell you something I think is true
Together we can build, build something new
None of my friends will ever be homeless
Not while I can live, not while I can give!
