A Speculative Fiction
Propagandhi Lyrics

A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel.
We are cutting off all ties with America and warning everyone outside our borders not to come near us.

Cut all diplomatic ties as we expel all American dignitaries and issue a nation-wide travel advisory for any others left outside.
We are completely isolating ourselves from America and ensuring that nobody else can come here.

Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.
Nobody can escape the consequences of America's actions.

The burned out shells of south-bound traffic lay strewn along a cold stretch of would-be interstate. Still visible below their charred remains: Pax Americana plates.
American vehicles have been destroyed and the remnants of their power are still visible.

Your stupid fucking laser-pucks were just the start.
The weapons America used were only the beginning of the conflict.

And while you may stand six full cubits and a span, we got a shepherd's sling and five stones in our hand and the battle of 1812 lives in our hearts.
Despite America being stronger than us, we have a history of fighting them and we will continue to do so with whatever resources we have.

We don't care if we're destroyed. We'll never capitulate. We'll take the whole fucking world down with us in flames.
We are willing to go to extreme lengths to resist American influence and will not surrender even if it means destruction for ourselves and others.

Just a speculative fiction. No cause for alarm.
This song is not a literal call to arms but rather a warning about the dangers of unchecked American power.

We got at 15 years left 'til the United We Stand murals on West Broadway finally fade and we wave good-bye to such sad, childish refrains.
In 15 years, the symbols of American dominance in our country will start to disappear and we will move on from their oppressive influence.

Replaced with other stupid lullabies like you can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hands.
Even after America's waning power, we will still be plagued by the toxic ideology that allowed them to dominate us for so long.

Just a speculative fiction. No cause for alarm.
Once again, this song is not a call to violence but rather a warning about the potential for disaster when one nation becomes too powerful.
