From the album Dumpster Generation.
A Billion Ernies are a ska/hardcore/(genre) band from Hemet, California. Their lyrics are heavy with political content and religious ideas. I am not a christian or a wobbly myself, but I agree passionately with most of this band's lyrics. They're amazing live and this is one of my favorite albums of recent years. Do yourself a favor and download this album for free from communityrecords.org While you're there check out bands like Brunt of It, The Flaming Tsunamis, Stuck Lucky, and Fatter Than Albert. then do all of those bands a favor by going to their shows and promoting for them. It takes a village.
Here's the lyrics because the lyrics are very important to the band:
WEVE FINALLY GONE AWAY. ABOUT TIME WE LISTENED TO WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY; YOUVE BEEN SAYING IT ALL ALONG. WEVE FINALLY GOT THE CHANGE WE NEEDED, JUST HAD TO GET OUT OF THERE, THAT GRAVE WE WERE DIGGING. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DEATH OF US. WE FINALLY TOOK CONTROL OF THE LIVES WERE LIVING. 6 BLOODSTAINED BEAT UP SOULS, SO TIRED OF GIVING IN. AND ITS HARD TO JUST WALK AWAY FROM WHAT WE SPENT SO LONG BUILDING, BUT WE TRUST THAT GOD PROVIDES, AND WE CAN REST ASSURED THAT HE ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR US. WE WONT LET THIS BE THE DEATH OF US.
