Propagandhi is a Canadian punk band, though “some might argue” that they’re getting a little metal in their old age, but some people also like to spend all day arguing the specifics of genres, and frankly I don’t think their opinions matter. This song, Resisting Tyrannical Government, is from their 1996 album “Less Talk, More Rock.” “Some might argue” that this album is “classic” Propagandhi, and I would agree I guess, except for the part where that implies that “new” Propagandhi isn’t as good. They’re smart guys, and their lyrics show it. Very political, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

Why don’t we plant a mechanic virus and erase the memory of the machines
that maintain this capitalist dynasty?
And yes, I recognize the irony that the very system I oppose affords me the luxury
of biting the hand that feeds.
But that’s exactly why priviledged fucks like me should feel obliged to whine
and kick and scream- until everyone has everything they need.
