the music business got really scared
when punks created their own alternative system
one that was honest and really cared
so they set out to destroy what punk had created
by dividing those involved
choosing cult names and hatred
the gutter press said punks should spit and fight
and the puppet punks were fooled alright
they began to sniff aerosol and tubes of glue
because the paper said that's what real punks do
like spitting on bands covering them in shit
even though they knew if they were playing, they wouldn't like it
the promoters wanted to put a stop
to the cheap gigs bands arranged on their own
so they introduced more lies and once the seeds were sown
the puppet punks began to smash up halls
believing they were having a real ball
but the destruction meant nothing at all
they were just dancing to the tunes
the big businessmen called
very soon bands couldn't afford to do their own gigs
and the promoters had won
they got their own way
protecting their halls with bouncers
they decided which bands could play
and best of all they controlled the price that we all have to pay
punk belongs to the punks
not the businessmen
they need us, we don't need them
punk will never be dead
as long as some of us refuse to be led
the rip-off merchants were quick to cash in
and the puppet punks parted with their hard earned cash
to buy the exploiter's rip-off trash
unable to see that these people only sell shit
as long as the people are willing to buy it
Flux of Pink Indians was an anarcho-punk/post-punk band originating from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England. Active between the late 1970s and early 1980s, the group helped define the anarcho-punk sound with a raw musical approach and fiercely radical political stance. Their songs often tackled themes of social inequality, political repression, and criticism of capitalism. Some of their most representative tracks include "The World Is Yours", "No Future" and "I'm Not Your Enemy". The band released several independent albums and EPs, including their self-titled debut album "Flux of Pink Indians" (1980) and "A New Kind of War" (1982). Despite the short duration of their activity, Flux of Pink Indians left a significant mark on the history of punk rock, influencing numerous subsequent bands.

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.
