about
We have reached another breaking point in history. The current financial crisis has made an enormous impact on so many people that it seems things are going to change. If things are going to change, we have to make sure they change for the better. Political and financial systems are extremely slow when it comes to change. People, on the other hand, can change their ideas and behavior overnight.
Whether a crisis is about the financial world, immigration, the role of the media and youth culture, how to treat whistle blowers, animals, political themes in general, or the upcoming influence of "new" powers like china and India; all crises should lead to an evaluation of how we deal with these topics in the future. What we think is right and wrong about it. What moral standards should apply for any of these topics. Every crisis is a moral crisis.
Now that the old balance is unstable it is time to tip it over and install a new balance. This is the time where people are up for trying new, better ideas. Now we can be the architects of our own world. For real change to occur, we need more than just a new messiah. We need people to believe in themselves and each (each!) other instead of a new president or a new financial system to improve the quality of life.
We should not be afraid to take a closer look at things when it gets hot under our feet. There is a lot to improve in the world. If we want this crisis, and more importantly the reaction to this crisis, to be fruitful, it is up to us to give directions. So bring on these crises and take those chances. Let's start over, let's start from scratch.

lyrics
Bring it on
Let's start from scratch
We need a reality check
Armed with second opinions
Not afraid to use them
Now it's time, time for plan B
My First Crisis
This is not a drill
Too true to be good
Think outside the box
Every crisis is a moral crisis
Now we can become what we want to be
The system broke
Repairing is not possible
Replacing the only option
Recycling what is useful
Now the dust has settled
It's up to us
We want regime change
Let's start from scratch
We need a reality check
Armed with second opinions
Not afraid to use them
Now it's time, time for plan B
My First Crisis
This is not a drill
Too true to be good
Think outside the box
Every crisis is a moral crisis
Now we can become what we want to be
The system broke
Repairing is not possible
Replacing the only option
Recycling what is useful
Now the dust has settled
It's up to us
We want regime change

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸
