about

Based on real events by real people in a real college house with real people really named Mike. Not everyone involved was an anarchist. Lou discovered his inner Jello Biafra.

lyrics

Goin' to a party
Neighbors complain of sounds
Mikey opened up the door
Find a thousand cops all around
"Are you the owner here?
What the Hell's that smell?
How young are you guys? God,
You're all goin' straight to jail."

Just lookin' out for you now don't make a fuss
Just neighborhood cops, the kind you can trust
Hate to get you worried just a simple bust
Goin' downtown in a big police bus

Now everyone got quiet.
There's no one with a sound.
Got a full SWAT team and they've
Got the place surrounded.
"You've got balls to break up such a fine gathering!"
"Shut up, Mike!" we shouted but the cops kept beckoning.
Throwing in tear gas to diffuse a bunch of
Anarchists who were out to have a good time.

All hit the ground and out go the lights
Everyone's fallin', passin' out without a fight
Determined by society we're all fuckin' blights
We don't have no fight cause we lost all our rights.

Now everyone got quiet
There's no one with a sound
We woke hazy in a brand new
Dog pound.
"Keep your pooches here,"
The businessman said,
"Keep ya in these bars till
You become a citizen instead"

All hit the ground and out go the lights
Everyone's fallin', passin' out without a fight
Determined by society we're all fuckin' blights
We don't have no fight cause we lost all our rights.

All fuckin' blights!
