**It's not about Politics, It's about life**
Lyrics:

Human beings an arrogant bunch
So trite and ignorant always on the hunt
We've created this system both you and I
Of calloused oppression of all living kind

Learn, Teach, Respect and Peace

The system doesn't care that nothing's ever fair
And the system doesn't care because you remain unaware
And no one gives a shit that you spike your hair
It's all a fucking joke and the system doesn't care

The system doesn't care what politics you wear
And the system doesn't care you'll always be a player
And it kinda makes you wonder why you're always in despair
Always alone struggling and the system doesn't care

The system doesn't care because we're all a little scared
To really give a fuck and try to really care
The system doesn't care because you're caught in their snare
You're just a bit in the machine so the system doesn't care

The system doesn't care because no one ever cares!
No one ever bothers, no one ever dares
The system doesn't care because the truth's unaware
That system is you, is there any hope out there!?!?

LEARN TEACH ANARCHY AND PEACE!

Everything in life and everything you hate
Is perpetuated by you and your choice of ignorance
By turning your back and ignoring the problem
The injustices in life we'll never solve them

Politics is a load of shit
But it's you who accept them
When will you realize
It's not about politics
It's about fucking life
Simply giving a fuck is our greatest fight

The system doesn't care because the system is you
Nothing ever changes because that's what you choose

**You are what you Consume**
Lyrics:

In this world of opportunities we choose to buy commodities
Useless token symbols we claim as necessity
The food we eat, the clothes we wear, the shit we use to do our hair
The money spent has a result, but do you even fucking care
About the message that you bring? Does symbolism mean anything
As you interact with your fellow living beings

You are what you consume, your identity is subsumed
By the products that you buy, your identity is a lie

The end result is not by chance, every action has a consequence
There's more to your choices than mere convenience
So many choices to be made, so much money that can be paid
Your support for their policies is on public display
With every choice you play a role, every action has a toll
But it's you who has the ultimate control

You are what you consume.
The sum result of the symbolic meaning of the products that you choose to purchase.
This is the democracy of Capitalism.
You vote with your dollars.
Every purchase is a vote for the corporation.
Every dollar spent is a choice of ignorance over compassion.
A slice of cheese or a cookie is money in Jesse Helm's campaign fund.
A cleaning product is another thousand animals tested upon.
A garden burger is another family farm evicted by giant agribusiness.
A chocolate bar is another thousand starving children.
A cup of coffee is another dictatorship in Central America.
This isn't a call for a mass boycott.
It's a demand to pause and think about what your purchases say about you
And the world you live in.
You are what you consume.
