about

It took only eleven minutes for Adam Lanza to commit one of the most atrocious massacres in American history. Twenty-seven dead, twenty of those elementary school children. No motive was given, yet Lanza continues to be a deranged symbol of our society's underlying problems. He is the dysfunctional loner born into a neglectful family. He is the dead mother brainwashed by a paranoid, crypto-fascistic worldview. He is the politician who profits on pain and bloodshed. He is the media whose sole purpose is to the confuse the public and serve a corporate-lobbyist agenda. Adam Lanza is the ignored cancer cell attacking a dying empire. There is no cure, and sadly, he'll be back.

lyrics

I hear voices in my head and they say they want you dead they’re screaming on and on and on and they say they want you dead so now I’m loading up my gun because you know it might be fun doing what the voices said because they say they want you dead…

…society falls apart tearing at the seams it’s hungry broke and sick and chewed up in the war machine desperation seeping in what else is there to do your job it sucks marriage on the rocks your kids are eating poisoned food…

…capitalism captures us slaves to the excess get ahead by cutting throats the myth of our success demagogues with dollar signs preaching the ways of greed build a bank to hoard it all a fraternity of thieves…

…the media sucks you in propaganda on TV ruining the feminine anorexic beauty queens a spectacle of lies and now you’re dancing to their songs they say if you’re not rich by now you did something wrong…

I hear voices in my head and they say they want you dead they’re screaming on and on and on because they know this world is gone the static buzzing in my ears only magnifies the fear the only way to make it stop lock and load and kill you all…

…the shooter came and did his work dead children on the scene so many questions they never ask so they’re blaming everything video games and gangster rap and violence on TV too much sex no background checks and not enough police…

…as the empire of blood and greed begins to crumble all around the harbinger of death will burn your illusions to the ground a symptom of an ill he will react to the disease a cancer cell with a loaded gun will bring you to your knees…

I hear voices in my head.

Article 15 image

Article 15 Taos, New Mexico

Article 15 is born from the thirsty earth of northern New Mexico. Using anarcho-punk as a means to an end, their music is a battle cry against hate-mongering fascists and a tool to help build a new world based on peace, justice, and an egalitarian autonomy of the planet and its inhabitants. ... more
