about

Discovering political activism (and punk rock) at an early age is an amazing thing. I still prefer naiveté to bitterness, and the first few years of my own life as a socialist punk were filled with the former, and had nothing of the latter. What a wonderful world it was.

lyrics

In junior high we called ourselves communists. Contrary to the teachers we knew the difference between Lenin and Stalin. We used to joke about Trotsky and the ice pick. We listened to Cornelis and Victor Jara and in all the demonstrations we had more fun than the grown ups. On the first of may we woke up with the feeling that we were gonna show the fuckers who we are. And when Ian came to town all the students skipped their classes. On the town square we were taught exactly what cops do with kids like us. In sewing class I tried to make a flag of red wool and the teacher tried to have me expelled for having subversive ideas. We played punk like punk should be played but now I think I have forgotten how.
