#1 - The Sweatshop System
Sweatshops across the world
Clothing more important than a life
A legal prison for poor people
Twenty First century slavery
Almost everything, not just three brands
People are suffering, do not support
Seeking profits not caring about lives
Low-wage workers easy to discard
Silent voices silent exploitation
Twenty first century slavery
Almost everything, not just three brands
People are suffering, do not support
Precarious conditions
Hidden repression
Abusive environment
Fear and intimidation

#3 - Productive Criticism
Always a separation, but there is no us vs. them
We are all in the same, stop and fucking think
Pre-concepts, Clichés, Stupid divisions, Poses
Too Punk, for Hardcore
Too Hardcore, for Punk’s

He formed and commanded an important revolutionary force, the Liberation Army of the South, during the Mexican Revolution. Followers of Zapata were known as Zapatistas.

We believe in equality
Liberation will be won through a culture of resistance
Exploitation of gender must be eradicated and we totally condemn it
We are against oppression
Remove the barriers for real emancipation
We support the struggle
The cause is vital, the call must be heard
Together, together we shall win
Equality
No room for discussion
Destroy traditions, Equality, your struggle
We are against oppression
Remove the barriers for real emancipation
No room for discussion
Destroy traditions, Equality, our struggle
Fight Inequality and do it, now!
