QUEER PUNK REVOLUTION!
Let’s dance like fools
Screaming the words of change
Singing together in one voice
QUEER PUNK REVOLUTION!
Speeches which pretend
that hardcore is for everyone
What is your conviction?
Actions speak louder than words
Violent dance and toxic masculinity
Your actions speak louder than words
A hardcore show Is a place where everyone
Should HAVE FUN!
Stage dive, pogo, 2 step
Singing along and jumping around
Let’s dance like fools
QUEER PUNK REVOLUTION!

New Era
01:27
|
|||
slowly but it came
breathing change
the people
are taking back the streets
seeking freedom
the heart speeds up
Raise your fist!
and words of hope
the rebirth of a new america
over 500 years it has been colonized
and violated by white racist men
terrifying us with blood,
pain, suffering
killing our natives,
stealing our resources
devastating, it's ENOUGH!
the turning point, A NEW ERA
the streets full of dreams and hope
A NEW ERA slowly getting stronger!
knocking down the statues of murderous settlers
let us rescue our roots
and scream: FREEDOM!
slowly but it came
breathing change,the people
Are taking back the streets
seeking freedom,
the heart speeds up
A new era,
STARTING NOW!

Rest
01:55
|

culture of restlessness
i don't deserve to rest
denying my needs
i don't deserve to rest
losing boundaries
i don't deserve to rest
hiding my exhaustion
i don't deserve to rest
finding ways to rest
without guilt, without shame
let's rest, regenerate
we do deserve to rest
let's unite in our needs
we do deserve to rest
let's move beyond survival
we do deserve to rest
let's leave no one behind
we do deserve to rest
finding ways to rest
without guilt without shame
slowing down, daydreaming about
how a radical change of life would feel

Beyond Binaries
01:35
|

these are the stories told about violence:
it is a male/female problem
queers are not perpetrators
queer spaces are safe spaces
imagine beyond binaries
imagine beyond
male/female, victim/perpetrator
imagine beyond innocent/guilty
let's make room for all our experiences
let's have open conversations
a space for healing
we build power through accountability
we build power while we build support
let's grow tools to address violence
let's grow tools to interrupt harm
let's grow tools to be safe outside
the system
let's make room for all our experiences
let's have open conversations
a space for healing
we build power through accountability
we build power while we build support
we all deserve liberation
to survive and heal
we all deserve liberation
to survive and heal
in queer, beautiful ways

Time to Heal
02:12
|

this is about resisting
and creating change – together
listening to each others stories
sharing them and writing new ones
making a change – together
this is about resisting
this is about refusing to shut up
this is the end of hiding
the end of shutting up in fear
the end of being disconnected
from myself, from each other
talking about the wounds
we carry around with us
we are not alone in what we experience
this is about resisting
this is about refusing to shut up
finding strength in being vulnerable together
turning the inside out
it is time to heal
this is about resisting

Not Just a House
01:56
|
|||
cops in riot gear
kicking people out of their home
gentrification
waves of eviction
denying people living space
that is the problem – not us
this isn't just a house
this is a home
a place for when you don't know
where else to go
a place of solidarity
of living collectively
a place to organize, to fight
to hold each other tight
we have a dream
for which we fight
we have friends and allies,
we stand up for
we gave up that house
but we will defend our utopia
with our hearts, our tears, our anger we will take back the streets
we have a dream for which we fight
with our hearts, our tears, our anger we will take back the city

Who can expect safety and protection
from the police
from the criminal justice system
Do police, borders and laws
really makes us safe?
When asking for safety
Make deportation easier
Becomes a tool to criminalize people
Something is wrong!
When safety is being sold to us
‘in the form of borders
In the form of police and punishment
This is not my way to answer violence
Let's keep on learning
To stop abuse, To resist State violence
To encourage safety, To practice support
To take accountability
Let's keep on learning
To stop abuse, To take accountability
Moving forward together
Towards our real visions of safety!

White Lies
01:28
|
|||
gripped by fear
of the unknown
of constructed others
a feeling of permanent threat
of „foreign infiltration“
the concept of the german nation is the concept of whiteness
and the assumption that all share white experience
fear of racist violence
fear of racist hate crimes
fear of racist terror attacks
colonial present, colonial history
german amnesia
i prefer shame over pride

Without You
02:30
|
|||
It wouldn't be the same without you!
Miles away from where I come from
Cities, countries, towns (that) I've played
Knowledge, affection exchanged
To belong, To be part of
Is the ground I stand on
It wouldn't be possible to be here
I wouldn't be the person that I am now
The places, the friends,
the struggles and the lovers
I will never forget you!
Long trips, exhausting weekends
The breakfast, parties, stories and tears
The bonds created will remain!
It wouldn't be possible to be here
I wouldn't be the person I am now
The places, the friends,
the struggles and the lovers
I will never forget you!
Together there's nothing
we can't make happen!

for 40 years in auto mode
Being sucked by the routine
Work, home, repeat
no hobbies or vacations
another sip as a quick fix
Work, home, repeat
for 40 years serving
those who don't mind seeing you break
just another body enriching the machine
For 40 years in this maze
Afraid to confront and rebel
Submissive to a system
that crushes you, chews you up
and spits you out
lower your head and obey.
Never dare to question, just accept it
But where are the dreams and the hope?
Do you still remember?
confront, confront, confront
Raise your head and resist!
resist, resist, resist
you and your comrades
deserve better days
refuse, refuse, refuse to accept it
Get organized and resist!

Holding Change
01:15
|
|||
in the face of uncertainty,
too many things feel out of control
worrying about the future
and what to expect
"We must understand that we are the Earth's cure and, therefore,
we must work collectively to address the cumulative challenges faced across the planet,"*
but i know that this is not the first challenge we face
and i trust that we can learn, grow, recover even in the face of difficulty
history is made by us
it is relational
it is bound together
mine is bound to yours
and yours is bound to mine
so let us be the change
we are waiting for
*speech by paloma costa,brazilian climate activist.
