Out of the dirt and up on our legs
We used to crawl but that's hardly changed
Raped our sisters
Had our way with them
Ruled that we should rule
Called ourselves men
Invented poetry
Impaired it with fame
Killed the poet to usurp his name
Distorted philosophy to further war
Man's greatest feat would enslave us all
Oh, how we love the shackles when we control the chains
Destroy the man
Death to death
Conceived the structures
Made up the rules
To our benefit we defined the tools
Worshipped ourselves and our own kind
Molded history in our design
Let's destroy his story too
Let's destroy and start something new
Destroy the man
Death to death
The lyrics DESTROY THE MAN of REFUSED is also present in the album Freedom (2015)
Refused è una storica band svedese di hardcore punk originaria di Umeå, formatasi nel 1991. Il gruppo ha pubblicato cinque EP e tre album prima dello scioglimento avvenuto nel 1998. Il loro capolavoro, *The Shape of Punk to Come*, è stato inserito al numero 13 nella lista dei 50 Album Più Importanti di Sempre di Kerrang!. La band è nota per il suo sound aggressivo e politico, influenzato dal hardcore punk, dall'anarchismo e dalla musica noise. *The Shape of Punk to Come* è considerato un album fondamentale del genere post-hardcore, anticipando sonorità che avrebbero caratterizzato gruppi successivi come At the Drive-In e The Dillinger Escape Plan. Dopo lo scioglimento, i membri di Refused hanno collaborato con altri progetti musicali, ma nel 2012 la band si è riunita per un tour mondiale. Nel 2015 hanno pubblicato il loro quarto album in studio, *Freedom*, che ha riscosso grande successo di critica e pubblico.
