Bamboo Bones 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Don't let them break you Don't let them tell you who you are Doesn't matter where you come from You'll always have a floor to sleep on And you've got your bamboo bones, nervous energy Blind ambition, skin of your teeth Push back, push back, push back With every word and every breath What God doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself What God doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself I'm scared to admit it, I've got no grip I'm leading with my jaw Can you see it from a distance? Does it look ridiculous? Well, I guess that's just what I gotta live with Still I have a mind to think, knees to break You standing beside me Gonna push back, push back, push back With every word and every breath What God doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself What God doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself What God doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself For your What God doesn't give to you What God doesn't give to you What God doesn't give to you You've got to go and get for yourself For yourself

Numb 02:12
lyrics

The condom broke on my hopes and dreams But Uncle Sam aborted all my schemes The TV told me what to fear Women, transgenders, and all queers They're burning books, rewriting texts Ayn Rand Standard litmus tests Awaiting word from the Eagle's Nest They're not woke, they're scared to death Thoughts and prayers just don't work for me 'Cause billionaires sleep too comfortably Silver spoons should turn to rust And may riots burn their houses to dust Burning cash and cashing checks Fuck all welfare recipients Emergency: the sky is crashing to the ground It's the hundereth crisis since I sat down Gaslit so many times We might as well be pilot lights Numb it down with medicine Pretend the world's not caving in Hey

Break These Chains 04:11
lyrics
buy track
I was born with fangs instead of teeth This whole damn system's made for me My religion says I'm the apex, too Women are objects for my use Now I never did buy into all this shit But that don't mean that I didn't benefit "Well, what was she wearing?" You better give it to me It's the power and the privilege It's the technicality And if it's not my fault Then tell me who's to blame I can point my fingers Or I can help to break these chains Now I hate racists without a doubt And all the nonsense that comes out their mouths "All lives matter", "Support the police" But the people they serve look a lot like me Now I never did buy into all the shit But that don't mean that I didn't benefit Our differences are scary I'm calling the police It's the power and the privilege Manifest destiny And if it's not my fault Then tell me who's to blame I can point my fingers Or I can help to break these chains Now I don't wanna be the enemy of you And taking a stand is the right thing to do And I don't wanna be the enemy of you But fence sitting is easier (Fence sitting) It keeps my conscience clear (Fence sitting) Fence sitting is easier (Fence sitting) I'll celebrate the difference Man, fuck the police Share power and privilege Reject authority And if it's not my fault Well, the problem still remains I can my point my fingers Or I can break these fucking chains I can break these fucking chains We can break these fucking chains

Idols! 03:03 video
lyrics

I woke up with a thought That if we're still alive We should do something more than just breathe 'Cause the TV lies It's a war for your mind It's our very souls they wanna deceive We've got mass incarceration And children in cages And the government put them there But the shining lights On the 4th of July Made it to where we didn't care It's time to smash the idols in our heads The wicked will fall, stand tall It's in our hands It's time to topple your idols And set them on fire And forge a new path on 'Cause all tradition is Is peer pressure from ghosts Telling you that you need to conform We are the misfit children Of monsters and abusers Fueled on by love and rage So we'll carry our banner Through blockades and barriers Revolution without a name Oh, oh It's time to smash the idols in our heads The wicked will fall, stand tall It's in our hands Smash 'em down It's time to smash the idols in our heads The wicked will fall, stand tall It's in our hands

You're gonna carry that baby to term Who else are we gonna shoot at school? You're gonna carry that baby to term Your masters told you what to do It doesn't matter if I rape a girl She's gonna have my baby I'll get off with a wink and a smile Hell, maybe even become a Supreme Court justice Yeah! You're gonna carry that baby to term Who else are we gonna shoot at school? You're gonna carry that baby to term Your masters told you what to do Aborting a baby's a sin We care about that fetus so much But once you have it you're screwed "Welfare Queens" and "Anchor Babies" Fuck! You're gonna carry that baby to term Who else are we gonna shoot at school? You're gonna carry that baby to term Your masters told you what to do I don't know nothing about a woman's body I just know they scare the hell outta me

Woah Standing before the county judge "Why'd you take the cop car for a ride?" Tell you the truth well, it looked like fun First call it ran where no one died Don't you dare sanitize me And relegate my words to history We were born to set the captives free Shoot up the fingers at authority Woah When I was a kid I was raised in church Learned about a god that was cruel and small Now that I'm older I understand We can be the gods that make them fall Don't you dare sanitize me And relegate my words to history We were born to set the captives free Shoot up the fingers at authority Woah Don't you dare sanitize me And relegate my words to history We were born to set the captives free Shoot up the fingers at authority Woah

Fast Fall 03:08

She's beautiful Her eyes pierce through my confidence My words are dumb and clumsy Am I making sense? She's dressed to kill Like a rockabilly queen She could be another heartbreak And it's sitting on my sleeve Don't you say you love her You just only met her Don't you say you love her You're scaring her away Don't you say you love her You just only met her You are just pathetic, stupid You'll fuck this up again The drive is long And the stop lights flash in time To the cadence of her words And I'm hanging on every line We get back to my place Man, I could be your favorite son She leans in for some more And I'm falling in love again Don't you say you love her You just only met her Don't you say you love her You're scaring her away Don't you say you love her You just only met her You are just pathetic, stupid You'll fuck this up again Don't you say you love her You just only met her Don't you say you love her You're scaring her away Don't you say you love her You just only met her You are just pathetic, stupid You'll fuck this up again

It was a cold, dark weekend In the ATL When the cops went looking for trouble And found someone to kill Playing army in the woods Building up a piggy town They got scared like cowards do And gunned another one down Yeah Well, you can cry me a river And then I'll build you a bridge So when you see a burning cop car You can get over it The red, white, and blue are the colors That are gonna make us free? But when they're flashing in my rearview mirror I must disagree Yeah Let's burn it down Let's burn it down Let's burn it down Let's burn it down I see the sign on your car: To serve and protect But the way you wield your power It's a fucking threat Born out of slave patrols You haven't changed a bit Thin blue lines make excellent fuses I think we should light it Let's burn it down Let's burn it down Let's burn it down Let's burn it down Oh, yeah yeah yeah Yeah Let's burn it down Alright, yeah yeah yeah Let's burn it down (But what about the police?) Let's burn it down (Yeah, and what about cop city?) Let's burn it down (There's 1,312 reasons so) Let's burn it down Alright, yeah yeah yeah Let's burn it down Ooo yeah yeah yeah yeah

Born To Run 04:39
lyrics

In the day we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream At night we ride through mansions of glory In suicide machines Sprung from cages out on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line Woah Baby, this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap It's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young 'Cause tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Yes girl, we were Steph let me in, I wanna be your friend I wanna guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims And strap your hands 'cross my engines Together we could break this trap We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back Woah Will you walk with me Out on the wire? 'Cause, baby, I'm scared And a lonely rider But I gotta find how it feels I want to know if love is wild Babe, I want to know if love is real Oh, can you show me? Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones They scream down the boulevard Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors And boys try to look so hard The amusement park rises bold and stark Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist I wanna die with you, Steph, on the streets tonight In an everlasting kiss Oh The highway's jammed with broken heroes On a last chance power drive Everybody's out on the run tonight But there's no place left to hide Together, Steph, we can live with the sadness I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Woah Someday, girl I don't know when We're gonna get to that place Where we really wanna go And we'll walk out into the sun But 'til then, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Oh honey, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Come on, tramps like us Baby, we were born to run Oh yes, we were Oooo Woah Woah Oh oh oh woah Oh oh oh woah Oh oh oh oh oh

When you're taught about the past And you burn the lessons told Nothing scares you like the truth and The fear is taking hold You're such a tough guy With your "seig heil" And racist chants You're such a tough girl Own the liberals Then you shit your pants No safe spaces for fascists and racists Fascists are fragile, fascists are fragile No safe spaces for fascists and racists Fascists are fragile, fascists are fragile Whoa Fascists are fragile When you're panicked on the web and Your lies are being fact-checked Accountability's a bitch and You can't handle it You're such a tough guy, Proud boys on stand-by Your dog whistle You're such a piece of shit, misogynist And your reich is gonna go No safe spaces for fascists and racists Fascists are fragile, fascists are fragile No safe spaces for fascists and racists Fascists are fragile, fascists are fragile Whoa Fascists are fragile And I blame you No safe spaces for fascists and racists Fascists are fragile, fascists are fragile No safe spaces for fascists and racists Fascists are fragile, fascists are fragile Whoa Fascists are fragile

So this year Has kicked your ass And left you bloodied and floored You're not the first To taste the ground before The bastards will get you down And never settle the score You can get so lost And forget what you're fighting for Yeah So tell me about your hopes and dreams Before the world kicked you in your teeth You may be down, but get on your feet This world is full of possibilities Throw a brick through a windowpane You gotta plow before you create Don't let the assholes have the final say You are full of possibilities Pollyanna Pollyanna Pollyanna I think we have sinned Pollyanna Pollyanna We traded freedom for a book we don't believe in Pollyanna Pollyanna Pollyanna Pollyanna Pollyanna Pollyanna Pollyanna Yeah So tell me about your hopes and dreams Before the world kicked you in your teeth You may be down, but get on your feet This world is full of possibilities Throw a brick through a windowpane You gotta plow before you create Don't let the assholes have the final say You are full of possibilities

Outside the fascists despair With their torches in the air Claiming that they're being oppressed Threatening violence with the Klan Hating blacks and mexicans Any non-white is on their list But we're not looking for appeasement Or compromise We just wanna say goodnight To the alt-right Listen up, you Nazis You can have your own beliefs You can have your platform too It's six feet deep and waiting for you A woman isn't an object And trans folk ain't no threat Except to a coward's way of life So we'll be a speaker in your ear We'll make you listen loud and clear Your ideology's gonna die But we're not looking for appeasement Or compromise We just wanna say goodnight To the alt-right Listen up, you Nazis You can have your own beliefs You can have your platform too It's six feet deep and waiting for you

Hope's not dead, don't give up just yet We've been at war since the last war And the war before that A war on the planet, a war on drugs, a war on women A war on facts But the earth, it keeps on turning Every start must have its end We build up walls, we put up borders Gilded cages to trap us in Jesus Christ, Buddha, Muhammed Emma Goldman, Lucy Parsons Tried to warn us of this shit And the ones who'd do us in It's the end of the world Tell me, what have you learned? Did you help your fellow man Or did you just watch it burn? All our leaders are terrorists Every mile gained from one inch Will you bow to your fate or will you Try and take a stand? Breads and Circuses on TV A new cop shooting on at ten A rising tide raises all ships and Then floods the continent But the world it keeps on turning While the leaders make their plans They trashed the house, burned down the kitchen And left you with empty hands Lilith, Mary, Dalai Lama Leonard Peltier, James Baldwin Tried to warn us of this shit And the ones who'd do us in It's the end of the world Tell me, what have you learned? Did you help your fellow man Or did you just watch it burn? All our leaders are terrorists Every mile gained from one inch Will you bow to your fate or will you Try and take a stand? Hope's not dead, don't give up just yet Jesus Christ, Buddha, Muhammed Huey Newton, and Kropotkin Tried to warn us of this shit And the ones who'd do us in It's the end of the world Tell me, what have you learned? Did you help your fellow man Or did you just watch it burn? All our leaders are terrorists Every mile gained from one inch Will you bow to your fate Or will you try and take a stand? Hope's not dead, don't give up just yet

about

The first full-length Father Fury album from FKP Records! Smash Your Idols! is a tour-de-force collection of anthems standing against conformity, authoritarianism, corporatism, mass consumerism, and greed. Instead Smash Your Idols! compels listeners to see their own worth, the worth in others, and a call to stand up against the forces that separate and hold us down.
