Regardless of my point of view my barcode reads the same What's the point in conforming when slavery is the game We are not right in having nothing to say 'cos silence is the last power we have what should I do? D.E.M.E.R.I.T.

Burn your T.V. save your life from entropy It's natural to die but not in this way The problems that you take the problems that you make so the problems you create will eat you alive Fight your apathy la la......

why the fuck am I loyal to you? we don't want to be your victims of greed sick of you, no future for us, how many people die in famine? no way, no control, we can carry on send me to work, send me to war send me to waste my life for you hate for you, no future for us we are just bastards of the nation no way, no control, poverty makes us strong no way, not control, we can carry on so fuck your petty thoughts we don't care about your perfect plans so fuck your petty thoughts we still have rebel attitude we don't wanna live for you!!!

Live or Die 03:07
live or die, what to live for, what to die for live or die, what to live for, what to die for nobody changes time, and you have the right to choose your own life your life, if you lose your faith cause you fear death. you lose your life don't cheat your own life life won't wait, death can wait we won't stop screaming while you become a machine laboring for others, we are still bleeding for freedom

walking alone with my shadow at night I am lost among those wonderful stars like the bird, can't find the way I'm a lonely boy. I saw the planes, flying far away. which one lands in my hometown like the bird, can't find the way in the lonely sky Beijing's not my home Beijing's not my home oh momma, momma... tell me where can I sleep tonight
7.
sign up an die today is what the slogans should say live by the sword, die by the sword march off and earn your place rotting dead like the rest in the earth live by the sword, die by the sword violence and control maintained by greed they kill, we pay the bills the world has become a battlefield games for the rich, death for the poor the world has become a battlefield

an apple a day won't keep the assholes away I chose to ignore my father whenever he'd say that I better perform in the company way now I fell off the grid cause I don't wanna pay fuck schemers! I'm sick of it! fuck schemers! I'm sick of it! fuck schemers! I'm sick of it! fuck schemers! I'm sick of it! my biggest problem today is the lies that surround me if I want to stay on my feet my only option is isolation fuck schemers! I'm sick of it! fuck schemers! I'm sick of it!
10.
the newspapers never speak the truth that people were killed in an accident will they be reborn like the bible says you need to find the truth and the way 'cos there is fear inside this place wake up from your dream voice of the people we can't find the reason

about

Bastards of the Nation is Demerit’s first full-length release on Maybe Mars Records. It was recorded and produced in 2008 by Public Enemy’s Brian Hardgroove, and has become a landmark album for the Chinese punk scene. Demerit mixes elements of 80’s metal with street-punk to create a unique and complex sound that has earned them respect from both punk and metal scenes at home and abroad. With its trademark sound and incisive, politically conscious lyrics, Bastards set the standard for the next generation of Chinese punk bands.
