Firestorm

sure, this song is a joke now... and reading the lyrics, it's pretty easy to see why, but back in 1996 Earth Crisis had pretty much become the the voice of modern straight edge.



Street by street
Block by block
Taking it all back
The youth's immersed in poison--turn the tide counterattack
Violence against violence, let the roundups begin
A firestorm to purify the bane that society drowns in
No mercy, no exceptions, a declaration of total war
The innocents' defense is the reason it's waged for
Born addicted, beaten and neglected
Families torn apart, detroyed and abandoned
Children sell their bodies, from their high they fall to drown
Demons crazed by greed cut bystanders down
A chemically tainted welfare generation
Abslolute complete moral degeneration
Born addicted, beaten and neglected
Families torn apart, detroyed and abandoned
Children sell their bodies, from their high they fall to drown
Demons crazed by greed cut bystanders down
Corrupt politicans, corrupt enforcement, drug lords and dealers; all must fall
The helpless are crying out
We have risen to their call
A firestorm to purify.

love, detroit
