to every anarchist kid young or younger
to the straight edge
to every radiant deviant engaging radical sobriety
to the notion that our world's animal earth human defense
only excels uncompromised
our decided minds for victory
not always just a means of surviving past vices
freedom is not a trophy, it is a tool, sometimes a weapon
conviction against the glorified crutch of intoxication
resist an overindulgence in distraction and self-sabotage
this religion of defeat won't engulf me
I've got clarity
weak hearts cower in my contrast to take life raw
towards a less fucked up world...
when police are at the door getting rabid with no warrant
a sharp mind can deflect cops I'm not some drunk in jail downtown
and when someone I love is drugged at a show
I'll be sober to protect them and I'll hunt the fucking problem down
can't live year after year forfeiting memories
survival cannot be synonymous with a plague disguised as fashion
and while our Earth is in the grip of any force of oppression
I will be sober to fight for total liberation
to every anarchist kid young or younger
to the straight edge
to every radiant deviant engaging radical sobriety
to the notion that our world's animal earth human defense
only excels uncompromised
our decided paths in solidarity
