about

(This song isn't about soldiers; it's about decoding the bullshit they're fed to get them to fight rich men's wars.)

lyrics

(verse)
This is my rifle/there are many like it/but this one’s mine
When you’re the hammer/the world’s a nail/this pump is primed
We’re Oscar Mike/we’re rolling thunder/it’s freedom time

(chorus)
We’ve come for your oil/We’ve come for your oil
Because every fucking soccer mom needs a 2-ton SUV
We’ve come for your oil/Now don’t you feel free?

(verse)
With swinging dicks/we police the world/we bathe in blood
I was nothing special/’til they sent me here/Now I’m a stud
Hey, where’s my buddy?/Oh right, he’s dead/Killed by a scud

(chorus repeat; change “soccer mom” to “weekend dad”)

(verse)
This is my wheelchair/there are many like it/but this one’s mine
Another gift/from my Uncle Sam/bullet in my spine
Did you see the news?/There’s a brand new war/it’s freedom time

(chorus repeat; change “soccer mom” to “’Murican”)

about

The Eastside Slashers Portland, Oregon

Loud, bombastic, and packed with old-school, under-produced punk flavor! Portland's Eastside Slashers champion the leftist resistance in song. (Sounds pretty fucking poetic, right?)

The Eastside Slashers is the brainchild of writer, artist, and musician C. Michael Hall.For more from C. Michael Hall, check out amidtheruins.bandcamp.com/releases and cmichaelhall.blogspot.com
