New Year

Boy, did you hear?
There’s nothing to fear
This ship is ours to steer
It’s only new year
Girl, did you hear?
There’s nothing to fear
The news has gone away
The shops are all closed, today
No more being scared,
and no more acting tough.
no more dreams of servants,
no more being bluffed
Put away your cell phone
You’ll never walk alone
Everything’s OK
New year starts today
There’s nothing to lose
Nothing in your way
Give up false needs
You don’t need them anyway
The goals you were sold
Glitter like fools gold
There’s nothing to fear
It’s just new year
There’s nothing to lose
Nothing in the way
Give back their dreams
Cause they’re nightmares anyway
The world that you know - Was a long time ago
There’s nothing to fear - It’s just new year

Hard Left Rules OK
01:36

Danger’s calling, rebels don’t flinch
Shoulder to shoulder, we’re in the clinch
Hard Left rules OK, rules OK
Hard Left rebels, we’ve got the juice
Hard Left army, we’re on the loose
Hard Left rules OK, rules OK
Forward we’ll always go
Comrades, it’s this we know today
Stand up comrades, throw off the yoke
Hard Left rebels, we go for broke
Hard Left rules OK, rules OK
Hard Left rebels rule… we’re nobody’s fools
Hard Left … rules … OK

Hand In Hand
02:36
|

Divided we fall, united we stand
Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand
We’re all Hard Left, united we win
Hard Left, we’re coming back again
We’re marching on castles of sand
We’re Robin Hood’s band, how we’re taking a stand
Hand in hand
Read up comrades, analyze the past
Future perfect is coming fast
Facing the facts, we ain’t got no choice
We’re Hard Left, we’re the people’s voice
Hard Left - comrade give me your hand
Hard Left - comrade let’s make a plan
Hard Left - you know they made us this way
Hard Left - future perfect today
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
Hand in hand
Hand in hand

Future Perfect
02:17
|

What became of Disneyland?
No future in tomorrowland
Better living through... technology
They stole the surplus from you and me
It's a future perfect - future!
It's a future perfect - future!
It's a future perfect - future!
It's a future perfect - future!
Don't you know everyday will be lighter?
Don't you know all our days will be brighter?
It's a future perfect - future!
It's a future perfect - future!
We want a future perfect - future!
We want a future perfect - future!
From our ability, to our needs
From our ability, to our needs
From our ability, to our needs
From our ability, to our needs

Stay True
01:07
|
|||
Liberty’s hero
He does it all alone
Hand don’t touch a tool
But he claims it for his own
But there’s nothing we can’t do
If we stay true
On your private island
Utopia at last
No one there to build it
And the water’s rising fast
But there’s nothing we can’t do
If we stay true

Kicking It Off
02:00
|

Making do with what we didn’t choose
We can never lose
Now we’re international
What’s to be done, what’s there to do?
It’s all up to me
It’s all up to you
Cause we are everywhere
We’re kicking it off, we’re kicking it off
Cause we don’t have a care
We’re kicking it off, we’re kicking it off
Cause we’re just ordinary
We’re kicking it off
Comrade do you hear the sound?
We’re kicking it down to the ground
Cause we are everywhere
We’re kicking it off, we’re kicking it off
Cause we don’t have a care
We’re kicking it off, we’re kicking it off
Cause we’re extraordinary
We’re kicking it off

Safety
02:14
|

Flag pin, dollars and a smart salute
Hand on your heart while they grab the loot
Don’t start shit, don’t even move
Comrade, you’ve got something to prove
Safety!
You’ve got more than you can use
Safety!
Don’t be happy to choose
Don’t talk back or you’re down on a list
Accidental death of an anarchist
Force your smile and clench your fist
Your freedom, comrades, depends on this
Safety!
You’ve got more than you can use
Safety!
They’ll be happy to choose for you
Comrade, you’ve got something to prove
Comrade, you’ve got something to prove
Comrade, you’ve got something to prove
Comrade, you’ve got something to prove

Red Flag
02:20
|

Organize the general strike
Red flag over Oakland
Speculators out!
This is where we live
This is where we live
There is such a thing as society
Society is you and me
It's not measured in profit and loss
My profit is not your loss!
Don't run, 'til the victory's won
What you want done
We gotta make it happen
Don't pretend you've got nothing to do
There are dreams for you
Make them true

Holiday
02:06
|

It’s a holiday
It’s another day off
it’s a gift of time
For when you fall behind
It’s a holiday
All mod cons we’ve got a lot
They didn’t give it to us
It’s what we fought for and got
No one knows, we don’t count the cost
They can’t find us
We were never lost
No one knows, we don’t count the cost
They can’t find us
We were never lost

Imagination
02:48
|
|||
Don’t listen to the wise men
You might as well turn them off
Everybody knows that money talks
Everybody knows that the radio lies
But do something you used to die to
You can do it if you try to
See a new way
See the new day
Underneath the paving stones
Imagination has a home
See a new way
Greet the new day
No more force can stop us
No more lies
These dreams of gold
These dreams were already old
All power to, the imagination
All power to, the imagination
All power to, the imagination
Imagination, imagination…

We're All Hard Left

Hard Left Oakland, California
Hard Left is a political punk band inspired by liberatory leftist movements of the past and present. Our music is a soundtrack for direct action, an invitation to critical thought and a challenge to complacency. We privilege the "we" over the "I" and argue for the centrality of class struggle in our collective battle against neoliberalism, authoritarianism and imperialism. ... more
