Most recordings by this band are out of print. They are widely available to pirate online, which is openly encouraged by the band themselves. You can still get the full length, full band CD "Burn the earth! Leave it behind!" from the DIY Bandits at http://www.diybandits.com. You can order a really cheap solo CD of the first batch of Wingnut Dishwashers Union songs from the undercover label Rock-It Records by looking really carefully on http://www.plan-it-x.com. There are still copies of two different split seven-inches lying around, put out by http://www.craftyrecords.net and Triumph of Life Records if you can track them down.

Fuck every cop
Wingnut Dishwashers Union Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if that is the truth, well then,
I think that there is worse things in this world than being wrong!
And I suppose you gotta be a little crazy to believe
That we shall be free, but I'm insane!
And I'm not alone!
No, I'm not alone! No, no, no, no, no, I'm not alone!
Unless it's just the punk rock show talking to me
Sing along the words that you can't hear over the sound of your friends,
Over the sound of the kegs, over the sound of the beer!
The (?)pain adores(?) they treat this house like anarchy could work.
But you aren't ready yet!
And you aren't alone!
And you aren't alone, No, no, no, no, no, you aren't alone!
And I'm not sure that we are what we eat.
But I'm pretty sure we smell like what we do.
So I might smell like trash when I've been taking it out.
What's your excuse?
What's your excuse?
I fell in love again that time that you said
"Fuck every cop that ever did his job!
And fuck every bank that never got robbed!
And fuck all the other banks, especially mine.
I know that you've been dealing with that awful feeling
That we're running out of time. And so have I."
But we aren't alone!
No, we aren't alone! No, no, no, no, no, we aren't alone!
The song "Fuck every cop" by Wingnut Dishwashers Union is a politically charged piece of music that expresses an unapologetic anarchist sentiment. The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a condemnation of police culture and capitalism, aiming to disrupt the listeners' perspective on the world around them.
The opening lines, "And if we decide that change is impossible then we'll prove ourselves right!" suggest that the song is about the struggle for social justice through self-determination. The song suggests that political change is difficult to achieve and that it can feel like the task is impossible at times. However, the lyrics challenge the listener to consider if there might be something worse than being wrong. Therefore, the song calls for action and change.
The song also calls for solidarity among the members of the punk rock community. The chorus "No, I'm not alone! Unless it's just the punk rock show talking to me", creates a sense of bonding and unity, indicating that the listeners are not alone in their anti-cop, anti-establishment sentiments.
Overall, the song "Fuck every cop" can be understood as a call to arms for social change by means of collective action against the structures that oppress us.

And if we decide that change is impossible then we'll prove ourselves right!
If we think we can't change things, then our negative beliefs will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But if that is the truth, well then,
I think that there is worse things in this world than being wrong!
Being wrong isn't the worst thing in the world, and if change isn't possible, there are still worse things to worry about.
And I suppose you gotta be a little crazy to believe
That we shall be free, but I'm insane!
And I'm not alone!
No, I'm not alone! No, no, no, no, no, I'm not alone!
Believing we can be truly free might seem crazy, but I'm not alone in that belief.
Unless it's just the punk rock show talking to me
Sing along the words that you can't hear over the sound of your friends,
Over the sound of the kegs, over the sound of the beer!
Maybe it's just the energy of the punk rock show, but I'm singing the words I can't hear under the noise of the crowd and the beer kegs.
The (?)pain adores(?) they treat this house like anarchy could work.
But you aren't ready yet!
And you aren't alone!
And you aren't alone, No, no, no, no, no, you aren't alone!
The people here love chaos and treat the house like an anarchist utopia, but you're not ready for that yet, and you're not alone in feeling that way.
And I'm not sure that we are what we eat.
But I'm pretty sure we smell like what we do.
So I might smell like trash when I've been taking it out.
What's your excuse?
What's your excuse?
We might not be defined by what we eat, but our actions and choices define us and leave a certain impression. So if I smell like garbage after taking it out, what's your excuse for your own choices?
I fell in love again that time that you said

But we aren't alone!
No, we aren't alone! No, no, no, no, no, we aren't alone!
I fell in love with you again when you said those words, expressing anger towards cops and banks. I know you feel like time is running out, and so do I. But we aren't alone in feeling that way.
