In a country where I can decide
Will I be jailed or will I abide?
By these laws which I do not believe apply
With all this freedom I have no voice
With all this freedom I have no choice
With all this freedom that I can't find
Only for one kind
And every day seems so important
And every day seems so necessary
Try to take my freedom away
Always dreaming about what I can't be
And if this country is so free
Then why am I arrested for trying to sleep?
And I know a place that's free
But why must it entail poverty?
So much food to eat
And so many homes to sleep in
Stores so full of food
So why must I eat from a garbage bin?
There's 1600 people walking around today
Thinking life's a little game to play
Try to avoid police abduction
Try to avoid hunger and self destruction
Maybe if you could realize that all you're freedom is based on lies
Maybe there's no lifestyle that i want to keep
If I could just get some sleep...
The lyrics SLEEP, WHAT'S THAT? of CRIMPSHRINE is also present in the album The sound of a new world being born (1998)
Crimpshrine è stata una band punk rock proveniente da Berkeley, California. Formata nel 1982 da Aaron Cometbus, fondatore del celebre fanzine punk Cometbus, e dal suo amico Jeff Ott, il gruppo ha rapidamente guadagnato un seguito all'interno delle comunità DIY. Considerati uno dei gruppi punk più importanti, soprattutto nella scena della Bay Area, Crimpshrine è noto per la sua musica cruda e potente, influenzata da band come Black Flag e The Minutemen. Il loro sound si caratterizza per riff di chitarra distorti, batteria aggressiva e testi politici e introspettivi. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "The Last Time", "I Don't Care" e "No More Heroes". Crimpshrine ha pubblicato diversi album in vinile, tra cui l'album di debutto omonimo del 1984 e il seguito "Live at the Gilman Street Project" del 1985. La band si è sciolta nel 1987, ma la sua influenza sul panorama punk rimane evidente.
