Triggered 02:44
When I was a baby I had this plastic display That hung on the side of my crib Something about "Learn and Play" It was full of buttons and bells For my short attention span I learned how to press those buttons As I grew into a man Yeah you made a point, you made a really good point Look at the plastic people Too fragile to take a joke But for the impossible Anything's possible before you choke There's a difference between what I think And what I think is funny to say Tap your knee and your foot kicks out Buttons pushed again today Yeah, you make a point, you make a really good point Yeah, you make a point, but really what was your point? Yeah, you make a point, you make a really good point Yeah, you make a point, who gives a fuck about your point? But then we hit a button Grind a gear Strike a nerve And you get triggered

Boss of Me 02:32
I don't wanna do the things you say You can't make me anyway I wanna play, I don't wanna work Why do you act like some kinda jerk? You're not the boss of me, no, no, no! Why do you tell me what to do? I'm not gonna do what you tell me to Why don't you just save your breath You'll talk yourself right to death
3.
Go out and face the day, I'll tell you how I feel You can't tell right from wrong if you don't know what's real Bullshit, it fills the trough, we eat like it's a meal Reality is qualified and fantasies appeal They feed us humble pie, we eat every bite We gave a college try and failed at it despite Ample options to not play the fool Anal analogies pulling up the stool Ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag One half is sensitive with eggshells on the ground The other's fucking nuts, the theories just astound Looks like the time is right, as crazy as it sounds To wall "The People" up and just release the hounds

I Click Like 03:14
I saw your post, it's a really good post Your post is the post with the most! A nice post and really good cause The best cause there ever was! I feel inspired by the things that I read Motivated by my social news feed They say they're calling for a general strike? I help when I click like! Did we fix it? Can anyone vouch? I get involved from my seat on the couch I could unlike it and like it again Minimal effort, minimal pain
5.
I'm tired, I'm tired man Of getting lit up every time shit goes down Conspired, all part of the plan Living inside the circus, everyone's the clown Senses overload, too much is going on Outrage fatigue and you can't respond Bizarre and outrageous news Blows up your senses as we slip through the subtle things Quite far from mainstream views You wanna find the puppet master, just follow the strings
6.
Goddamn, what's the plan? We'd better form as fast as we can It's going down in the town And we can't be standing around These are the warning signs We should heed them Here's where we draw the lines Don't concede them This phase of strange days Let's not wait to see how it plays If you care, then be aware We haven't got a second to spare
7.
You Said 01:27
You said things would all work out You said there isn't any doubt You said everything would work out fine You don't even realize you're lying You said, you said You said to me You said there's no cause for alarm You said there's no potential harm You said the shit won't hit the fan But tell me where you are when it starts sprayin'

Dickhammer 02:01
Dickhammer, don't try to make this about you Dickhammer, sometimes it's not about you Dickhammer, you know it's not about you Dickhammer, don't give a fuck about you Can't make it clearer Put down the mirror Nobody cares as much as you do You're so simple, But such a complex See persecution, lies and voodoo Dickhammer, don't try to make this about you Dickhammer, sometimes it's not about you Dickhammer, you know it's not about you Dickhammer, don't give a fuck about you Such an ego Does it impede you? Every problem, make it all about you Myopic vision With each incision Little cuts and bites that you chew

Let me make one thing abundantly clear The Zombie Apocalypse happened last year Nobody noticed, if they did they would cheer No brains (no brains) No brains (no brains) The zombies awoke and they rose from the ground They groan and they lurch on your door they do pound Crack open your skull but no brains could be found No brains (no brains) No brains (no brains) They came for brains but the brains were all gone Nobody noticed that a thing had gone wrong Expect a scream, all you get is a yawn Maybe they had no brains all along Brains are like plants, they want to survive Food and enlightenment keep them alive Fertilized ignorance keeps it contrived No brains (no brains) No brains (no brains) Junk food culture, junk food for the mind Critical thinking’s been left far behind Starving zombies, no brains can they find No brains (no brains) No brains (no brains) They came for brains but the brains were all gone Nobody noticed that a thing had gone wrong Expect a scream, all you get is a yawn Maybe they had no brains all along Maybe they had no brains all along Let me make one thing abundantly clear The Zombie Apocalypse happened last year Nobody noticed, if they did they would cheer No brains (no brains) No brains (no brains)

No Fucks 02:13
Once I was a patient man, I had something to say Always running point on the issues of the day Holler my opinion at those who were astray I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away Now when it comes to giving fucks, no fucks get in my way No fucks You've gotta pick your battles and do what's in your heart Find something that's real to you and play some kind of part This is the advice I wish I'd had back at the start 'Cause when it comes to giving fucks, I've got this empty cart I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away Now when it comes to giving fucks, no fucks get in my way I had too many fucks to give, I gave them all away Now I just don't give a fuck, so fuck you anyway

I wanna raise a bottle Then I'll get another one and do it again I'm giving it full throttle There's room here at the table, have a seat my friend I did my 40, now my liver's gonna get it Got a whistle and I think I'm gonna wet it Drink it fast and you never have to set it Down Got to give'r and I think it's time to give it Master Bators, get out there and Stiv it Delete the pictures so you never have to live it Down

about

Stand Against Fear Guelph, Ontario

SAF formed out of the ashes of Peace Corpse in 2016 when Mark (Hockey Teeth, Meh, The Brute Creation) invited Erik (Wiggler!?!, Turdburglars) to jam with Nathan (Nasties) on bass with Aaron (CID, Ripped Emotions) and Steve (Negative Gain) on guitar.
In 2022, Steve and Aaron left and have been replaced by Jeremy (ASOP) and Colton (SBFM).
Old school, sing-along satire punk.
