Teardown Lyrics- Rejected

The lyrics below are from Teardown`s cd Against The Dying Light. This is a great modern style hardcore cd that was released a few years ago on Final Stand Records. While their existence was short lived I think their contribution to our music scene is invaluable. While there were other hardcore bands in our music scene at the time Teardown was around, I really think it was Teardown that set the bar and pushed hardcore music to the forefront. The lyrics below are from the song Rejected, as I like posting motivational lyrics and lyrics about self betterment, rejection of the ills of society, etc

Rejected

I`m crawling no more, I`ve rejected your world
I`ve rejected your drugs, Pulled my head from the sand
Gonna stand tall, Gonna rise above all
And never succumb to your mindless ways
Moderation never worked for me
I`ve gotta push everything I see
I can`t quit living and I can`t quit caring
About where I fit in and the world around me
I will strive for victory over your world, you`re useless way of life
Reject the base and persevere
Never give in to this self made strife
Rejected
I won`t live like that, I won`t live like you
Rejected
Find the inner strength to remain fucking true
I`ve tried your way I can`t live like that
I`ve gotta make something of myself
Fucked up time with a fucked up mind, gives no satisfaction in my life
You`re a waste so I won`t waste my breath
It makes it worse because you know what`s right
You don`t care the world`s falling apart
You won`t fight, defeated from the start
Honor and duty have no place in your life, in your selfish heart
I`ve rejected all you have done
Determined to overcome, I`ve fucking won!
Remain True

Lyrics: Everyday

These lyrics are for the song Everyday on Definite Hate`s cd Welcome To The South

Everyday

Everyday I wake up early and work hard for my pay
And watch through helpless eyes as I see my youth slipping away
Striving to feed my family and keep a roof over their heads
They will always be first in my life until the day I`m dead
Sacrifices I`ve made in my life I`ll never regret
When I look at my children`s smiling faces
I know it`s all been worth it

Chorus:
These are the struggles I go through
And I`m struggling everyday
And every night on my knees I pray for a better way
Don`t want glory and I don`t need fame
I just wanna be ok
No challenge that I can`t overcome
I`ll keep fighting everyday

Everyday I focus on the future don`t dwell on the past
And do my best to build a white world that`s always gonna last
I`ll keep it up through my life with my brothers doing the same
So I say fuck them and fuck you too when they try and take it away
It`s not about the money that I make or the things that I buy
Everything that I do right now is to save our children`s lives

These are the struggles I go through
And I`m struggling everyday
And every night on my knees I pray for a better way
Don`t want glory and I don`t need fame
I just wanna be ok
No challenge that I can`t overcome
I`ll keep fighting everyday

Everyday I`m getting stronger and closing in on my goals
No one better stand in my way or try and tell me no
I don`t have time to wait my family needs me now
I`ll fight, I`ll lie, I`ll kill, I`ll die, but I`ll never let them down
Victory is up ahead and for them I`ll pave the way
I might not see it in my life but they will have that day

These are the struggles I go through
And I`m struggling everyday
And every night on my knees I pray for a better way
Don`t want glory and I don`t need fame
I just wanna be ok
No challenge that I can`t overcome
I`ll keep fighting everyday

Definite Hate- Welcome To The South Re- Release

Definite Hate is a band that I have been into before even their debut cd was released. As a collector I try and grab up things of interest and one of these things was a demo cassette put out years ago featuring Definite Hate and Riot Wing. It had a good sound quality but what really blew me away were the lyrics. They were no holds barred pissed off in your face southern white boy aggression that at the time really appealed to me. Since then they have released two cd`s, the first being the split with Riot Wing, and the second a full length titled Welcome To The South. Their full length took a bit of different sound which reminds me a lot of the Bully Boys, as it was a bit more melodic and featured a new singer who has a similar voice. The lyrics on this cd evolved also as they became more focused on working for a better future and preserving what they have- friends, family and land. We will be posting some lyrics from this cd shortly. While copies of the original pressing of Welcome To The South can still be found they are getting scarce, but fortunately it has been repressed by Wewelsburg Records. This new repress is now in stock at Label 56 as well as their original split with Riot Wing, but have not been added to our site yet. Anyone interested in copies can email us at independentminded@label56.com We do accept paypal

New Brutal Grindcore Assault From Anticipate

Grindcore is a music style that is not real popular in our music scene as there have only been a handful of bands that play this style. Fortunately it seems to be spreading it`s influence as the bands that play grindcore have had releases in the last few years as opposed to being something of the past that has faded out. One of these new releases comes from the Polish band Anticipate. While they themselves have been a band since 1998, up until now their releases have all been limited mini cd`s and demo`s. These past releases have been combined on their first full length ‘Killing For A Living’ to make for a pummeling musical assault. I recently received copies of this cd and I am blown away by it. It truly is a brutal and violent “ultra grinding assault”! This cd is in stock but it is not in our catalog yet. Anyone who would like a copy contact us at independentminded@label56.com

Lyrics- One Family

The One Family cd`s are a series of split cd`s released by OPOS Records. The lyrics here are from the second cd in the series featuring Moshpit, Attack, Forbidden, and Total War. The lyrics below basically have to do with self betterment. They promote the strength to counter what has become a degenerated society and continue to fight for the light. To counter the lifestyle of addiction that has become an accepted part of our society and a degenerated “justice” system that allows criminals to run free.

Moshpit- Take My Word For It
Guilty at the beginning
No question why, your motive left unnoticed

Take my word for it
I`ll change this shit

The fear of truth built this society
Commercial interests often replace
the freedom of speech

People sell their souls for money
Corruption and greed rule the world
Freedom what a magic word
Realize the truth it`s a matter of time

Rule oppresses opinion
Section beat evidence
Interpretation kills justice
Directive counts, not truth

Be different to the ones that submit
Escape from the grave that you live in
Against the industry raise your voice
Don`t be silent, the attempt counts

Take my word for it

Attack- Lets Talk
Let`s talk about the lies you told
Let`s talk about your so called control
Let`s talk about your system
And your fucked up book of rules
There`s criminals on the streets raping three year olds
They should be in prison
But you just let them go

Let`s talk about the lies you told
concerning child molesters on my road
You should put these people behind bars
I really don`t think it should be that hard
Say you can`t do it because of lack of evidence
I say shove it up your ass why don`t you just quit?
You only care about your paycheck
not about the kids
Just let them go because they plead the fifth

Fed up with the bullshit fed up with the lies
Sick and tired of hearing about people getting off for committing crimes
Apparently you don`t care about the children who cry
Double standards and evil ways
Can`t you see the signs?

Total War- Never Falter
You won`t catch me passed out with a bottle in my hand
I don`t need to drink to prove that I`m a man
I don`t need to get fucked up every night
No chemical addiction will ever rule my life

Straight edge skinhead
Discipline integrity
Life of addiction is no life for me
Your strength comes from a bottle or a pill
Complacent in life, you have lost your will

I don`t need to smoke dope so I can fit in
What`s the point of killing brain cells
or being strung out on heroin
The struggle we face in life must be met
with a clear head
When you hide behind addiction
you might as well be dead

Say what you want about me
at least I know I`m real
This isn`t the booze talking
This is how I feel
Drugs are a weapon used against our minds
In your cycle of addiction
they are the chains that bind

Acceptance… Submission
Your answer to strife
Defiance… Perseverance
Is my way of life
Never back down Never falter
Stay true till the end
Forever defiant
Forever straight edge

Label 56 Colored Samplers and other News

Anyone familiar with Label 56 knows about our colored sampler cd`s. These started out as DIY samplers we made to highlight some of the music available through Label 56. Inadvertently they seem to have become a hit. Anytime we are out people ask us about the different color samplers, they ask us for the color they don`t have, if we have new ones, etc. There are currently 4 different colors to distinguish 4 different compilations. We will be making a new one soon that will be mailed out to all of our current customers. Anyone who has made a recent order has also received the one that reflects bands that we have released. This also currently is a DIY sampler. We want to wait until we have more releases to do a professional one, but at the same time want to expose everyone to the current music on our label. Please forward this email around and anyone who has not ordered from us before just send an address and we will stick one of the new colored samplers in the mail for you as soon as we get them done
