They tell us there are only two sides to be on
If you are on our side you're right if not you're wrong
But are we innocent, paragons of good?
Is our guilt erased by the pain that we've endured?
Hey look it's time to pledge allegiance
Oh god I love my dirty Uncle Sam
Our country's marching to the beat now
And we must learn to step in time
Where is the questioning where is the protest song?
Since when is skepticism un-American?
Dissent's not treason but they talk like it's the same
Those who disagree are afraid to show their face
Let's break out our old machines now
It sure is good to see them run again
Oh gentlemen start your engines
And we know where we get the oil from
Are you feeling alright now
Paint myself all red white blue
Are you singing let's fight now
Innocent people die, uh oh
There are reasons to unite
Is this why we unite?
If you hate this time
Remember we are the time!
Show you love your country go out and spend some cash
Red white blue hot pants doing it for Uncle Sam
Flex our muscles show them we're stronger than the rest
Raise your hands up baby are you sure that we're the best?
We'll come out with our fists raised
The good old boys are back on top again
And if we let them lead us blindly
The past becomes the future once again
The lyrics COMBAT ROCK of SLEATER-KINNEY is also present in the album One beat (2002)
Sleater-Kinney è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere alternative rock, formatosi a Olympia, Washington, nel 1994. Le componenti fondatrici sono Corin Tucker (voce, chitarra), Carrie Brownstein (chitarra, voce) e Janet Weiss (batteria). Il nome del gruppo deriva da una strada che attraversa il quartiere di Lacey nella città di Olympia. Le Sleater-Kinney hanno raggiunto un'ampia popolarità negli anni '90 e 2000 grazie al loro sound energico e alle liriche femministe, diventando un punto di riferimento per la scena indie rock americana. Tra i loro album più importanti figurano *Dig Me Out* (1997), *The Hot Rock* (2000) e *All Hands on the Bad One* (2015). Il gruppo ha collaborato con artisti come The Breeders e Bikini Kill, contribuendo a definire l'estetica e la filosofia del movimento riot grrrl. Dopo una pausa nel 2006, le Sleater-Kinney sono tornate insieme nel 2014, pubblicando nuovi album e continuando a esibirsi in tutto il mondo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
