Punk rock show this is athens this is war I hope you knew what you were in
For now here they come whatcha gonna do anarchists coming for you they

Nowhere to hide nowhere to run you gotta fight in the streets you walk with
Pride like cochroaches antifa hides their biggest weapon the mobile phone
Coming to attack you when your alone... STAND FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE
