lyrics

In a letter to every president, congressman, career politician,
Scrawled in spite across the envelope
With all of our conviction.
In only took a few hours for his peers
To find him guilty in a trail too fair,

A wobblie, immigrant worker has no place among the living.
“My body if I could choose to ashes it reduce.”

Murdered by the capitalist,

November 1915 be careful of what you wish.
Who is wrong and who is righteous?

What was stolen from us we will replace,

Off with the head on the body we feast,

Who is wrong and who is righteous,
Will never be our own decision.

He yelled fire to the squad with guns, they stopped his heart from beating.

Every word he wrote, he spoke, he sung, we are still singing:
“My body if I could choose to ashes it reduce,
And let the breezes blow my dust to where some flowers grow.

Perhaps some fading flower then would come to life and bloom again”.

If the workers take a notion,

They can stop all speeding trains,
Every ship upon the ocean.

They can tie with mighty chains
Every wheel in the creation,
Every mine and every mill.

Fleets and armies of all nations
Will at our command stand still.

A Benefit For Victims Of Violent Crime (AF051)
by Anti-Flag

supported by 7 fans who also own “1915”

Anti-Flag lives by example. This benefit record is a half-studio, half-live release in the vein of Mobilize, and like Mobilize, it's great. If only other bands had this level of commitment and activism. A must-have for any AF fan. K.R.K.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
