Hope Punk


VERSE 1
Worldwide genocide, national pride
Taking the sheep for a nickel ride
Insanity is the brand new reason
Jingoism is the brand new treason
Thinking hate is something great
It’s sealing this world’s final fate
Dictators pop up in every country
I don’t find this shit normal or funny

CHORUS
Hey, Hope Punk! Let’s rise up!
Let’s show them we can win this one!
Hey, victim! Rise from the grave!
No more living like mindless slaves!
Hey, Hope Punk! Hey, victim!
Let love conquer this unjust system!

VERSE 2
Refuse, resist, stay fucking pissed
No one tells us how to fucking live
Never tell us to sit down and take it
Dystopian bullshit will never make it
Build utopia from our hearts and souls
Everybody matters in these new roles
Be an activist, the fucking catalyst
Worldwide change can be arranged

CHORUS
Hey, Hope Punk! Let’s rise up!
Let’s show them we can win this one!
Hey, victim! Rise from the grave!
No more living like mindless slaves!
Hey, Hope Punk! Hey, victim!
Let love conquer this unjust system!

VERSE 3
Democracy doesn’t have to die
To say otherwise is a blatant lie
Some doubters will never even try
Content to let their lives pass them by
The countdown clock is ticking away
Won’t settle for less for another day
Won’t settle for mediocre or just okay
We’ve got the power, we’re here to stay

CHORUS
Hey, Hope Punk! Let’s rise up!
Let’s show them we can win this one!
Hey, victim! Rise from the grave!
No more living like mindless slaves!
Hey, Hope Punk! Hey, victim!
Let love conquer this unjust system!

FINAL WORDS
Hey, Hope Punk!
Hey, victim!
Hey, Hope Punk!
Time to bring the loudest funk!

Fear

VERSE 1
Fear is a hangman’s noose on my throat
Fear is the one that chokes out the hope
Fear chills my blood like frozen death
Fear takes me like a shot of crystal meth
Fuck fear and everything that comes with it
Fuck fear and everyone selfish and wicked
Rise above anxiety and breathe clean air
Conquer the battle that is so damn unfair


CHORUS
There’s nothing to fear but fear itself
So put your cowardice on the shelf
Your only hero in life is your own self
Set your soul on fire and give them hell


VERSE 2
Did you really think your taller stature
Would cause my backbone to fracture?
Did you really think your toothless face
Would burn my eyes like a can of mace?
Did you really think all the drugs you took
Won’t make you just a footnote in my book?
Bitch, please, you’re not in my league
You don’t have the power to rape and siege


CHORUS
There’s nothing to fear but fear itself
So put your cowardice on the shelf
Your only hero in life is your own self
Set your soul on fire and give them hell


VERSE 3
The monsters in my closet are hallucinations
Brought about from childhood devastation
I see the world for what it truly has become
An insane asylum for the wicked and dumb
Fear is something that used to take hold
Now I have the courage to do something bold
Iron gauntlets with a hint of dragon’s fury
You’re the one who should stutter and worry


CHORUS
There’s nothing to fear but fear itself
So put your cowardice on the shelf
Your only hero in life is your own self
Set your soul on fire and give them hell
