SUARA KAMI (OUR VOICE)

(It’s undeniable that incident such as robbery happens because of poverty. Poverty caused by economic distribution that fails)

(Tidak boleh dinafikan, kejadian seperti rompakan berlaku kerana desakan hidup. Desakan hidup akibat kepincangan pentadbiran ekonomi)

Jemaah menteri
Apa lagi yang kau pinta dan ingini
Engkau hanya goyang kaki
Porak-poranda hidup kami

Huru-hara ekonomi
Celaka kau Pak Lawi
Apa nak suap anak bini
Jika terus begini
Ikat perut, rompak lagi
Pantat kau


PERANGI SEMUA (FIGHT THEM ALL)

(We are against the mass media and closed-minded society. Punk is idea not just fashion. Government will never care not until the election time. Tyranny administration stopping revolutionary movements)

Pedulikan apa yang mereka kata
Kita akan tetap bekerjasama
Perangi meraka dan melawan media
Wujudkan idea bukan fesyen semata

Kami tak benci
Kami tak peduli
Apa yang masyarakat fikir kini
Golongan ini yang mundur mentaliti
Di zaman teknologi era globalisasi

Dikala dunia masih dalam bencana
Apa kurangnya negara malaysia
Kerajaan kini tak akan ambil peduli
Sehingga bemulanya pilihanraya

Kami dah lali
Kami dibenci
Suara masih tak di dengari lagi
Pemerintahan oh si tirani
Menyekat pergerakan si revolusi

DEMOKRASI TANPA I.S.A (DEMOCRACY WITHOUT I.S.A)

(We don’t have freedom of expression. Internal Security Act (ISA) still exists in Malaysia and anyone who has different ideas from the government can be detained without trial in the court. Let’s fight ISA together for freedom, justice and equality)

Benarkah kita bebas bersuara
Jika benar mengapa kita dipenjara
Marilah rakyat semua
Kita menentang bersama-sama

Untuk kebebasan
Keadilan
Kesamarataan
Wujudkan ia
Wujudkan demokrasi tanpa I.S.A

DUNIA (WORLD)

(The world is full of cruelty; rape and murder everywhere. The world is full of brutality; war because of different religions and skin colors. Do these happen because of self-satisfaction? The world is full of war, where’s United Nation? The world is full of discrimination and racism, showing power with technology testing)

Dunia, dunia
Penuh kekejaman
Rogol bunuh sana-sini
Dan tiada batasan

Dunia, dunia
Penuh keganasan
Adakah kerna agama dan warna
Timbulnya Perperangan

Apakah semua ini
Apa yang mereka cari
Adakah untuk kepuasan diri
Jahanam mereka ini

Dunia, dunia
Penuh perperangan
Isytihar perang suka hati
Di mana si P.B.B?

Dunia, dunia
Penuh keganasan
Perkauman dan diskriminasi
Wujudnya kehancuran

Apakah semua ini
Menunjukkan kebanggaan diri
Dengan ujian teknologi

PETROL PETROL PETROL

(The price of petroleum increases drastically and burdens the people of the world. Prices of daily needs also increase. Let’s demonstrate and voice out our feelings. Sarawak and Terengganu are petrol producers but these are among the less-developed states in Malaysia. Probably the government misuses their money?)

Harga petrol naik lagi
Konon katanya harga subsidi
Kau susahkan rakyat dunia
Sekarang kami sangat terseksa

Amerika syarikat, fuck you!
Kerajaan pusat, fuck you!

Kini harga keperluan meningkat lagi
Ayuh kita berdemonstrasi
Luahkan apa yang terbuku di hati
Sampaikanlah suara kami

NYANYI BUDAYA PEMBEBASAN (FREEDOM SONG)

(Raise our fists, get to the street and marching on, fight the oppression, voice our demands, destroy feudalism, militarism and capitalism, be confident that we will win!)

Kepalkan tinju mu ke awan
Nyanyi budaya pembebasan
Rapatkan barisan mu kawan
Hancurkan segala penindasan

Ayuh semua turun ke jalan
Kita suarakan segala tuntutan
Hancurkan feudalisma, militarisma dan kapitalisma
Jangan ragu, ayuh bersatu
Yakinlah rakyat pasti menang

ANTI NAZI SIMPATI (ANTI NAZI-SYMPATHY)

(We are against nazi, nazi-simpathy, racism that polluted the kids minds. We can see it coming back nowadays, so let’s avoid it together)

Di dalam tiada timbul system hirarki
Tak mahu semua ini
Lihat bangsa benci-membenci
Tak mahu semua ini
Hati yang bersalut ideology nazi
Tak mahu semua ini
Pemikiran bangsa yang sudah diracuni
Tak mahu semua ini

Anti Nazi Simpati!

Fahamanmu tiada apa
Hanya sifat marah semata
Mari kita hindarinya


INTERNASIONALE (INTERNATIONALE)

(Our own version of the communist anthem)

Bangunlah rakyat yang tertindas
Oh bangunlah oh rakyat bawahan
Tugas kita yang mulia dalam dunia
Senantiasa bertambah besar

Hancurkan tahayul fahaman tua
Kita rakyat sedar insaf
Dunia sedang berganti rupa
Untuk kemenangan kita

Perjuangan penghabisan
Bermulalah perlawanan
Dan internasionale
Pasti jaya di dunia

Perjuangan penghabisan
Bangkitlah berlawan
Dan internasionale
Pasti jaya di dunia

PUNK DAH MATI (PUNK IS DEAD)

(Where are the punks heading to? Is it enough with fashion? Saying anarchy while obeying the authority? Throwing all ethics away? Tamed by the media? Only hang out with your our own gang or exclusive club? This is more like a self-criticism as punks)

Fuck yourself before you fuck the authority
Change yourself before you change the society
Help yourself before you help the needy
You are not more than just a fucking trendy

Kemana arah kita, punk dah mati!
Cukupkah berfesyen sahaja, punk dah mati!
Kau laungkan anarki, punk dah mati!
Tunduk pada authority, punk dah mati!

Engkau punk, fahaman kau tak tau apa
Engkau punk, mengetepikan etika
Engkau punk, rela dijinakkan media
Engkau punk, bergaul dengan geng kau saja

HENTIKAN PENINDASAN (STOP THE OPPRESSION)

(The government now, oppresses, demolish people’s house and property. The rich gets richer and the poor becomes poorer. Stop the oppression, stop the poverty, stop the starvation, we want freedom from all of those)

Kerajaan zaman kini
Seperti tiada hati
Penindasan sana-sini
Ceroboh sesuka hati

Di dalam dunia yang kedua
Tiada apa bezanya
Yang kaya makin kaya
Yang miskin makin papa

Hentikan penindasan
Hentikan kemiskinan
Hentikan kebuluran
Inginkan kebebasan

HAK ASASI HIPOKRASI (HYPOCRISY BASIC RIGHTS)

(You live with basic rights ideas, at the same time you don’t care about humanity. You practise tyranny. You discriminate, you are selfish, you can’t tolerate. So, you better forget about your fight because you are the one who will eventually demolish the basic rights)

Walaupun engkau hidup berideologikan hak asasi
Jika tidak mementingkan humanity
Jika engkau berdasarkan pemikiran tirani
Jika engkau masih ada benci-membenci

Lupakanlah kerana engkau manusia
Yang akan robohkan tembok hak ini

Walaupun engkau hidup berideologikan hak asasi
Jika engkau penting diri sendiri
Jika engkau wujud diskriminasi
Jika engkau tiada toleransi

MERDEKAKAH KITA (ARE WE FREE)

(Malaysia celebrated Independence Day for more than 50 years. But are we really free? The economy is still conquered by multinational companies, imperialism became worse and the people think we are so peaceful because they only watch the news on the television. We are still blinded, no freedom of voice and expression. We are still asleep, while they are laughing. And we just nod and follow…)

Lima puluh tahun merdeka, seperti tiada makna
Ekonomi masih lagi dijajah luar
Imperialis makin menjadi
Alah tegar bisa berdiri
Mata dikaburi televisi

Merdekakah kita?

Lima puluh tahun merdeka, tapi kita masih buta
Suara disekat, kebebasan kau diikat
Kau lena, mereka tertawa
Kau patuh, kau tunduk, ikut apa yang ditunjuk

PERGI JAHANAM KAU (GO TO HELL WITH YOU)

(Basically this song is about saying a big fuck you to the world)

Pergi jahanam kau, pergi jahanam kau, pergi jahanam kau!
