Progress

I own this house, I own this land
And I’ve come to take what’s mine
Please understand
Your money
Your food
Your words
Even you’re history
What’s mine is mine, What’s yours is too
And it always will be
Vacate your future and make way
For progress
I bring you faith in a god that’s clean
With his musket and his flag
Now all my friends get street signs
If it makes the right people mad
Because we own this house
and we own this land
And we’ve come to collect what’s ours
Please understand
Vacate your future and make way
For progress
A good captain goes down with his ship
A great captain gets cooked over a pit

Black Union Jack

Paint me a flag with a black union jack
I’ll wear it around like a shirt on my back
A ribbon of white through the red and the black
A symbol of all of the things that you lack
Call in the watch dogs, call in the watch dogs
They came here to play and they won’t go away
It’s in the way that they cheer
The way that they cheer when they know they are right
Saying “you’re one of the good ones
But you still ain’t white”
Call in the watch dogs, call in the watch dogs
To cave in the skulls of all those who oppose
Call in the watch dogs, call in the watch dogs
They came here to play now they won’t go away
Paint me a flag with a black union jack

Ask the Mountain

Face forward don't say a word
There is nothing left for you here
You pick apart our people's dreams
And build a country over the pieces left behind
I'll ask the mountain
I'll ask the mountain what went on that day
Pātaia te maunga
November 5th 1600 came
With weapons drawn and a piece of earth to claim
To pick apart our peoples dream
And build prisons there for the people left behind
I'll ask the mountain
I'll ask the mountain what went on that day
Pātaia te maunga
I'll ask the mountain what went on

Whakamaumaharatia, ō tatou tupuna
Whakarongo, ki ā rātou tangi
Ka whawhai tonu mātou ake
Ka whawhai tonu mātou ake, ake, ake
Whakamaumaharatia, ō tatou tupuna
Tirohia, ā rātou tohu
Kōrerotia, ō rātou ingoa
Whakarongo, ki ā rātou tangi
Ka whawhai tonu mātou ake
Ka whawhai tonu mātou ake, ake, ake
Whakamaumahara
Whakamaumaharatia
Ngā kairākau ō Ōrākau

Come find us
Out where the industrial waste meets rural religious real-estate
In every home, between every floorboard
And in every silence
You will find us there
Our voices distant and the words sound different
But still, some make it through
Come find us
Out beneath the tide
Te Rerenga Wairua where the spirits need not hide
Out past Te Ika-A-Maui, towards the waiting arms of Hawaiki
between each heaving breath of Te Parata
You will find us there
Te kore, te pō, te ao mārama, te ao wairua
Around and then back again
Though our bones are in these walls
Our homes are not our homes anymore
A dead tongue writhes no more
Except when it does
It wakes each time that we speak
That we sing
That we call
Yes, we’re in the cracks, we’re in the halls, in the corners, of your eyes
And we’ll see you there, we’ll see you there, we’ll see you there
And though our bones are in these walls
Our homes are not our homes anymore
Though our bones are in these walls
Our homes are not our homes anymore

Whakamāramahia mai au ki ahau
Glance over the room
Hide your face before anyone assumes
You’re only here because someone else couldn’t be
Feel your tongue twist around
Forgotten words
And others that you never thought to speak
Whakamāramahia mai au ki ahau
Pray to the first
Now bury the last
Let go of what’s heavy
Leave it all in the past

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know
