Smash
Conspiracy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to smash it up for all the workers who spent hours into nothing
I want to smash it up for all my sisters who got caught up in this funky system
I want to smash it up just like a locust, like a satellite shooting rockets
I want to smash it up in every way I can, right now I think I want to be your man

Smash it up yeah, when I'm down

I want to smash it up for all the kids who got fucked up just like their parents did
I want to smash it up, the gods and masters who made us die so much faster
You know I wanna smash it up
You know we gotta smash it up
Come on pretty, smash it up
Everybody right now, come on everyone

Smash it up yeah, when I'm down

I want to smash it up for all the people and for our right to be treated equal
I want to smash it up for all my friends, I hope you stick around until the very end
You know I wanna smash it up
You know we gotta smash it up
Everybody wants to smash it up
Come on everyone, right now

Smash it up yeah, when I'm down





I want to smash it up

Amazing band, amazing song, amazing video. A trifecta of punk rock communist punk rock awesomeness.

naaaatey

This video is absolutely amazing. Its rad that their offshoot band INVSN hasn't strayed from the INC, "It is still all the same; the same old promise, the same old lies that I despise," from "The Promise"

David Blank

I just realized that's the singer from Refused. I'm in absolute shock, what a talent.

Viviana Pérez Figueroa

This band give the strength to keep going...

PeterM

Great, straight-ahead, garage rock....with a message. Awesome! Love it!

Gerry Peacemaker

Stumbled upon these at Reading festival in the Radio 1 tent in 2004 I think it was, they had the whole tent jumping. One of the best performances I have ever seen 😎

Henrik Schmidt

I have kinda overlooked The (International) Noise Conspiracy. They have such a unique sound.
I like when bands sound like no other band.

any other day or time

Quite a lot of their sound and look is indebted to Nation of Ulysses. The Delta 72 also did that "stax by way of punk" thing.

Mike Haze

A timeless message that still lights my 🔥. Oh! and rocks as tight as Snoop's cornrows.

Sarah Treece

INC deserves so much more recognition
