Help me with lyrics - I am in a band - lyrics ideas please

[ComradeRiley]

Hi,
if anyone has any suggestions for anti-America anti-capitalism, communist lyrics please help, I have done a few songs but need more ideas.

Thanks

[Dirty Commie]

Theres a huge list in several places in the music forum.
I think it might only be bands, but I have seen some lyrics.

[Zombie]

If you're like me, you need to get yourself really really angry, sad and/or frustrated... inspiration will then come naturally.

Right now i'm tired, so I can't really help you out...
Maybe tomorrow I'll have another fight with my parents, just for you, which will piss me off and eventually lead me to do something creative... or really crappy.
;)

[Politrickian]

I'm going to smoke some weed today... Just for you, weed gives me a creative mind.

[ComradeRiley]

Thanks comrades

[Purple]

ok, this is just a lame suggestion, and i havent really written this down anywhere else, just a brainstorming-lyric-suggestion...

black tears falling from the sky where all is joy
a place above where scars are healed and wounds have grown
all insanity
and complete corruption everywhere
its like a wreck that has blown
and the pieces are blown high over the surface of this place called earth
inside where a family of five
a mother a daughter a little girl; five years old
just a son left in the house, didnt burn aloud
hopeless
pain
faithless
misery and death
ruling and destroying

DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH

just add a few guitar solos, and youve got an entire song:biggrin:

Ps: took 2 minutes to write... i know its poor.....

[LoneWolf]

nice song
u dont wanna write something to cheer me up then? ive had enough bad news for today.
BTW: can u teach me some karate, taikwondo, kung fu, boxing and kickboxing?

[Purple]

hmmmmm.. political....


a people locked within a world
no escape nowhere to run nowhere to go
a ruler says "no"
and throw them in dungeons and holes
and steal all hope and joy
take all their money and dough'
their poverty, his fortune and classy style
their hate, his food and dodgy cars
no hope
no faith

Keep em' coming people not too bad so far

[mentalbunny]

Comrade Riley, mine are all about the rich fuckers at my school and they're all pretty free form at the mo but when I've got them sorted I'll post em and you can use what you want, or change them or whatever.

I suggest focusing on a particular event or issue for each song, or at least a few, like Anti-flag's ones on Puerto Rico and Panama and the genocide of the Native Americans. Try the election where Bush got into power, or Enron. Where do you live? What kind of music is it?

[ComradeRiley]

ok mentelbunny, nice one, can I have your real name (first and last)
so i can put it in the booklet on the album when its finished

[Jaceau]

Start off with a sound clip of the American national anthem with war movie sounds in the background. That gets me everytime.

[mentalbunny]

Well I haven't got anything to give you yet but it's -------.

edited for security.

-----------------? sorry I got the impression you was a bloke (dunno why, very sexist of me),

Just lemme know when you have something, nice one


(sorry had to edit it, just in case the child killers were watching or something)

[hazard]

depends on what kind of music your band is in

for inspiration:

rock: JANE"S ADDICTION
rap: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
industrial: NIN or MINISTRY

[Purple]

raindrops dropping
falling from a higher place above
where scars are healed
and you're not all alone

(but here)
no light
(this is the last time)
I'll rise
no light
I'll sacrifice my eyes
get away from this place i hate
darkness all around, descending, im down
my vision failing
fading
uncontrollable hating

(love - - - shines)
it's keeping me from stumblin'
and makes me feel
so real
(marks on my soul
holes in my head)
why's that; insecure

im breaking
no limits inside
i need to get away, somehow escape
perish away, goodbye

(but now)
no light
(this is the last time)
I'll rise
no light
(I'll sacrifice my eyes
get away from this place i hate)
darkness all around, descending, im down
my vision failing
fading
uncontrollable hating

(goodbye), im all alone, on my own
if anyone says (goodbye), im not here, im there
and when im not around, then im away(goodbye)
''
goodbye, leave me alone, leave me to pain
its easier to run, so hard to stay
ill perish and die

(but now)
no light
(this is the last time)
I'll rise
no light
I'll sacrifice my eyes
get away from this place i hate
darkness all around, descending, im down
my vision failing
fading
uncontrollable hating

change, strange, ill run away
change, strange, ill run away








PS: sorry, i just dont manage to write any political stuff...

[Dhul Fiqar]

One of the best lyrics I've heard of was something a friend of mine augmented from a similar song he'd heard:



"SODOMY, SODOMY, SODOMY! IT'S GOOD FOR YOU! IT'S GOOD FOR ME! IT'S GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY! YES, SODOMY SODOMY SODOMY SODOMY, GOOD FOR YOU AND GOOD FOR ME AND GOOD FOR THE EEEECONOMYYYYYY!!!!!!"

etc. ;)

brutality
evil things happe-nin'
now all the things becomes a part of me
pain, hate, descendents, co-operations
money before commu-nity
judgment before commu-nism in practice
just habbits, no room for change
revolutions and resolusjons
pain and hate
breaking of barriers
no room for it in a normal type of life
all judgment and opression
no room for the light in a average form of life
bullets thorugh souls
stones crushing brains
only way to sur-vive
paranoia and devotion
just dont throw it all away
dont hesitate
....



.... yeah.. i know...

[LoneWolf]

Yay, it is some nice poems :)
Cheers me up :D

[Jackmond]

Well personally i'd look at the most non-popular anti-capitalist event that is an absolute shambles that no-one else has slated yet. go from there.
I find that if you look at poverty and deprivation of "lesser Economically developed" countries then you'll find inspiration.
When it comes to anti-capitalism, people WANT you to slate it

[Urban Rubble]

Am I the only one that realizes the lameness of asking other people to write lyrics for you ? Not trying to be a dick but seriously, that's some Britney Spears shit buddy.

[ComradeRiley]

Yes you do sound a dick.
I am communist, therefore I am just trying to spread the ideas of communism in a music way and help from fellow communists would be apreciated, all in the bid to spead our ideas.

[Urban Rubble]

Ya, but it just seems to me that people should write their own stuff. It's cool though.

[ComradeRiley]

Yeah i understand what your saying, it's just what you are saying is true but not in line with communism. fair point though rubble. So far I havnt takenanyone elses lyrics (coz their crap LOL)

[mentalbunny]

Soory, CR, I'm in the middle of exams so I haven't really been fired up onall cyclinders politically or musically (I didn't touch my guitar for a week).

But I'll let you know when I have something at least half decent.

[ComradeRiley]

Thanks HR your the best, I mean MB LOL

[CopperGoat]

Here is one.. Don't use it thought because it's already a song in my band. Sorry!

"move, you slow revolution"
BY PARHAM MORTAZAVI

Intro:

Wake up, Wake up
Rise from your dormant sleep
Don't hide in your empty keep
Resurrection if you need
Determination for this heed

You can't go back now, you have to try again


Chorus 1:

Here it arrives, our moment to shine
We gotta keep moving until we are done
It's only a matter of time
All we have to do is to spill some blood
they can't stand it, it's their ultimate prize

Verse:

We will fight
For our cause
Until the red carpet
Is rolled out for us

Nothing or no one
can stop us from
this relentless loss

Chorus 2:

Don't you worry
It will grow
Give it reason
Give it hope
Give it everything you know
Until we got what we need
this isin't over yet
Wait till the guns come out
Or better yet....

Prove us wrong
We are only workers
Unions are there
And so are our shoulders
Oh no, here it comes again
that scream
that yell
that moment to defend!

[ Repeat verse ]

Interlude:

I told you we won't stop
It's something that can't be done
Maybe until some time
Or maybe when we have some


other things to say...

Like where they are and what they play
It's only guerrilla warfare
you gotta say it where it lays

Underneath you and around you
the parasites are everywhere
don't worry you can kill them with your shoes
They are a bunch of ruthless beasts
that will eat and devour your helpless feasts

[ Repeat verse ]

Outro:

Oh man it's been a tiring day
no time to lose and no time to play
It's best not to think about it
and better leave it be
or else it will get on you like
chemotherapy...

comments appreciated
