Protest the Hero - Red Star Over the Battle of Cowshed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHSCGS3fDUg

Used to be a huge PtH fan - really like Kezia and Fortress then stopped listening to that kind of music. This is their very first EP written when they were very young. Less technical music for sure, but similar energy to their other earlier albums. This whole EP is fantastic and I recommend it to anyone and urge anyone to listen to read along with the lyrics.

I declare a war
A fight for freedom against any system that's built
To consume our power and maintained to divide our energy
A system where an honest person can sweat for hours
And then play slave to the man in the television tower
A system where private ownership erases public healthcare
Because dollars are worth more than people; dollars are worth more than sense
It's a one-way street through a faceless crowd;
Barcodes and backlit billboards show us, guide us
Teach us how to earn our rank, divide the rich and poor
Pit us against ourselves, compiling and burning corpses of class war
Yes, I want to topple this system held in place by financial greed
Where wealth is made through ownership and social hierarchy
Dollars are worth more than a worker in need
More than John and Jane Doe with a family to feed
We are the workers, the majority, and this system fears solidarity
So I declare a war on everything they're for
It's a one-way street through a faceless crowd;
Barcodes and backlit billboards show us, guide us
Teach us how to earn our rank, divide the rich and poor
Pit us against ourselves, compiling and burning corpses of class war
Just someone to topple the system
I want to topple the system
Just someone to topple the system
