lyrics

Obey!
Defy!
Follow!
Or FIGHT!!

The orders handed down from way up above
From the White House to the general to the private below
They say freedom isn’t free but who’s keeping score
I never signed up for murder and I can’t take anymore

Fifteen hour missions in the dry desert heat
So that soccer moms can feel safe in their SUVS
Dodging bombs on a highway targets nowhere in sight
While the captain’s back at base lounging poolside

Late at night, nobody knows
One single soldier, nobody knows
One grenade , nobody knows
Toss it in the headquarters, watch it all blow!

Obey!
Defy!
Follow!
Or FIGHT!!

Disrespecting lawful orders, ultimate test
Now they got you on the ground in the front leaning rest
Now here’s your lesson for today
This is what private gets when he disobeys

All the guys in the barracks whisper in tones
They’re only gonna get you killed, you wanna go home
So you’re sneaking through the dark, heart beating fast
Direct action in a flash, glorious blast!

Late at night, nobody knows
One single soldier, nobody knows
All these crimes against humanity
Retribution will be paid through mutiny

Obey!
Defy!
Follow!
Or FIGHT!!

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
