lyrics

Waking up before the birds or signs of first light
Asking, "Is this Hell on Earth? Or is this shit my life?"
Go!

Lets mount a new attack
It's time to drag those bosses
Off your back

What if we didn't have to slave anymore?
Should we just do the things we all adore?
Would you wake up and just hit snore
When you're paid to party?

What if we didn't have to slave anymore?
Should we just do the things we all adore?
Would you care about what you wore
When you're paid to party?

Paid to party, party, party, party, paid to party, yeah!

In our youth we had such zest, time was plentiful at our behest
But now no right to be lazy or black bloc
As we scramble from the tyranny of the clock

Abundant living without cost
Break the chains, kill your boss

What if we didn't have to slave anymore?
Should we just do the things we all adore?
Would your child still be ignored
When you're paid to party?

What if we didn't have to slave anymore?
Should we just do the things we all adore?
Lets set fire to all the stores like Baltimore

Take a breath man, feel alive
'Cos you know you weren't made to work nine to five
Buzz to much to be a bee in the hive
Dressed up in a suit and all that jive
The feed is live and we're living it up
Using every day to mix things up
Do what we can to fix things up
And celebrate life 'cos we give a fuck
So put your drinks up if you catch my drift
The life that you were given is more than gift
Spend your time getting more than pissed
'Cos apathy is easily dismissed
Dirty paper doesn't define me
Birds in the sky always seem to remind me
That out in the street is where you'll find me
Trying to put the bourgeois behind me

Shall we still be slaves and work for wages
It's outrageous, has been for ages
Oh, this world by right belongs to toilers
Not to spoilers, no not to spoilers of liberty

The Caligulists! image

The Caligulists! New Haven, Connecticut

The rock 'n' roll band, The Caligulists!, were formed on the same day that the great Campo gave wisdom to the world. That was when the first human atom had decided to become human, which of course was long before the life and death of any of the members of the Caligula family clan. There for The Caligulists! were formed not by the sheer will of the musicians, but by destiny. ... more
