Haymarket Square Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
No one's gonna hold them down today
They're ready to fight for their rights
On May 3rd, 1886
Chicago burned with the fire they lit
The workers were on strike cause money's tight
The pigs were out and looking for a fight
They opened fire into the crowd
A worker was hit and he went down
No one's gonna hold them down
No! They're gonna burn this fuckin' town

August spies denounced capitalism
But he urged no violence
He was addressing a crowd of workers
The pigs ordered him silenced
A bomb was thrown and the silence wailed
A pig laid dead and 8 were jailed
That day the system failed
You know it never fails
If you think you can crush these ideas
That are gaining ground more each day
If death is the penalty for proclaiming truth
Then I'll proudly and defiantly pay
Four men were sentenced to death
To set an example to all the rest
Who would dare to stand and protest
The injustices we all detest

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Against All Authority (often abbreviated as -AAA-) is a DIY ska-punk band. They were founded in Miami, Florida in 1992, driven by willingness to promote their message: "questioning our economic differences and promoting our human similarities," as stated by their official site. A strong engagement in political and social issues is clearly evident in their lyrics. On an early stage, -AAA- decided to book concerts, make recordings, and even produce band t-shirts on their own. Later, they signed to Hopeless Records and became one of their major bands.
