The band was formed by rapper Jared Gomes, also known as "M.C.U.D." (MC Underdog), and guitarist Wes Geer, who became friends amidst the Orange County hardcore punk scene. Gomes and Geer recruited guitarist Chizad, bassist Mawk, drummer B.C. Vaught and DJ Product © 1969. They named the group "Hed", which stands for "higher education". The band built a following with their energetic performances at local venues, and released the self-financed extended play, Church of Realities. Legal issues forced Hed to change their name, adding PE, which stood for Planet Earth.

Mawk (Mark Young) — bass (1994-current)
DJ Product © 1969 (Doug Boyce) — turntables (1994-current)

Tienanman Squared
(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But are we getting closer
Or does it even matter
We're running out of time.
I can't find the words to say
I feel its almost over
Or does it even matter
We're running out of time.
Enemy, x3
I wont engage in conversation
I dont want your company
I'm not a friend of your orginazation
I recognize my enemy.
Come on! Time is now!
It all started in the year 2025
The working men put their differences aside
Crips and bloods, aligned with the white pride
Took our country back from the inside.
Meet me in Tienanman square
The whole wide world will be there waiting
Meet me in Tienanman square tonight
This time we'll
Fight for freedom
Fight for justice
Fight for the children.
The photon bell was rendered ineffectual
The earth remained under quarantine
The cyber punks took hold of the internet
The coup'd'etat was now in full swing.
Meet me in Tienanman square
The whole wide world will be there waiting
Meet me in Tiananman square
If they wont let us in, we'll break in
Meet me, x3
This is the sound of
Revolution - the resistance - liberation
This time we'll
Fight for justice
Fight for liberty
Fight for the children.
Now I shut down the congress
Close down the white house
Lets prepare for the mass execution
The earth was not doomed
Only held prisoner
Now she is open to psychic evolution
The CEOs would not be taken quietly
The politicians were lined up and strung
So many homies we're lost on the battlefield
Sacrificed so that the world could be (won)one
Freedom!
Fight! x6
Meet me in Tienanman square
The whole wide world will be there waiting
Meet me in Tiananman square
If they wont let us in, we'll break in
Meet me, x3
This is the sound of
Revolution - the resistance - liberation
This time we'll
Fight for justice
Fight for liberty
Fight for the children.
The lyrics of "(hed) Planet Earth's" song Tienanman Squared depict a revolution that is brewing against powerful leaders who are holding the world hostage. The song begins with a sense of urgency and desperation as the singer feels that time is running out, and the end is near.

This slaps way harder now
@mepsiemopar8991
This is happening right now except we still need 2025 to get here and everyone to come together. Just imagine, 2025 will be a new term for whatever president is elected. What if Trump is elected again and this shit just pops off?
