Worthless Worthless

Not as They Seem Not as They Seem
About the backwards media portrayal of resistance struggles around the world - Palestinian Intifada and the Iraqi resistance to the ongoing occupation (ordinary people being portrayed as terrorists, when they are only resisting illegal occupation).
This time This time
About the illegal War on Iraq, the continuing Occupation of Iraq and 'War Criminal' George Bush's arrogant declaration of victory last May.
Not in our Name Not in our Name
Kind of self explanatory, this song was inspired by the massive anti-war protests and world-wide opposition to the war on Iraq, with the major theme of "Not in our Name". It exposes the real "Axis of evil - Tony Blair and George Bush.
Power of the People Power of the People
Taken from the popular chant, this song was inspired by the struggles in Argentina, Africa, Bolivia against corporate globalization, the FTAA and capitalism in general.
Warchild Warchild
About the tragedy of children around the world who are forced into war.
Maybe Maybe
Trigger Happy Trigger Happy
About the irony of the claims of the US to be fighting to protect themselves and the world from weapons of mass destruction, when they are the only country to have dropped the "Bomb."
Fall Down on my Knees Fall Down on my Knees
Only Starlight Only Starlight
Dedicated to the brave women, men and children in Palestine who are fighting to end the Israeli occupation, a brutal example of the tragedy of imperialism in the Middle East.
The Right Question The Right Question
Believe it or not, the movie "The Matrix" inspired this one (but only the original- NOT the sequels!!!) It's about alienation.
