lyrics

We’ve been fed ideologies and corrupted from birth,
so abandon this setup and erase these ideas
of “deserved” and “earned” and of money and wealth.
REDEFINE. REINTERPRET. UNLEARN, UNLEARN!

It’s easy to just fall in line.
Authority is comforting.
But it weakens the heart and stifles your thoughts
and cuts you apart from the Universe.

We’re all gonna suffer, we’re all gonna bleed;
it’s the human condition, our reality.
But it brings us together and binds beyond choice.
EMPTY HANDS, OWNING NOTHING BUT WHAT YOU GIVE

We’re all gonna suffer; we’re all gonna bleed.
It’s the human condition: shared misery.

The system - UNLEARN!
Unlearn the system that silences and teaches to build walls.
Strip the uniform that cloaks the animals and darkens your heart.
Break the chains that bind us to the things that we hate.
Wounds the spirit and makes us forget to live, love, create.

They Don't Have to Believe
by PUNCH

supported by 5 fans who also own “Empty Hands”

Aggressive, intense, extreme music (punk, hardcore, metal) should be raw and bullshit free, stripped of self-indulgent "mood setting" riffs and arrangements to produce its effect. PUNCH and "They Don't Have to Believe" is a paradigm of this ethos 'par excellence' as they say. _teeth
