lyrics

Punk for us was a vision of growth
A movement for change
A dream to break free
This chance to take part
In the larger world
And challenge its roles of oppression
I was inspired by the bands in this scene
Who expressed the concerns of imbalance
We've used slogans and images to protest injustice
Yet it takes action to back the word

(x3)We plant the seeds of revolution and watch the tree grow!!!

It is important that we
Take these messages as inspiration
But it can be a danger to paint some as leaders
When they are capable of being opportunists
No one is perfect in this struggle
And we must learn from our mistakes
Yet we have to be critical of those who would
Use this for their glory
We do this because of an unfailing belief!

(x3)We plant the seeds of revolution and watch the tree grow!!!

And now, as we have watched this movement develop,
Punk has split into two
One side values image and profit
While we struggle to build something new
It is sad to see that some view rebellion
As only limited to reactionary action
They disrupt our contribution to freedom and liberation
Their only goal is to be a pointless sensation!

(x3)We plant the seeds of revolution and watch the tree grow!!!

It is an inspiration to see that anarcho-punks in Mexico are working with the Zapatistas.
Publications like Profane Existence have been promoting an international punk movement. We
are even moving beyond this subculture to work within a larger society and commit ourselves to
multicultural organizing, connecting ourselves to other subcultures of rebellion, and promoting
the concepts of mutual aid, solidarity and revolution.
